125: White Teeth Evolution

After resting for a while to recover their strength and using some basic healing medicine, Lu Bingyun looked around and was about to say something to Xie Ning.

At that moment, a painful wolf howl echoed from the depths of the ruins.

“Awooooo—”

Hearing this familiar howl, Xie Ning was first stunned, then turned his head to look towards the Burial Zone.

“Speaking of which, your wolf, Xie Ning, is quite strange.” Fei Shanqiu recounted what he had seen earlier: the Poison Flame White Wolf had shown the light of evolution and then completely vanished.

Xie Ning nodded, leaning on his long sword like a crutch as he got up from the ground, then said, "I know. You guys go back first, I'll catch up soon."

The others nodded. After some instructions, the Duobao Sect and Mu Family handed over the Earth-Splitting Beast inner cores they had collected to him. Then, the group strode mightily toward the outside of the ruins, while Xie Ning limped into the Burial Zone, dodging large stones flying in the air along the way.

After passing through the Burial Zone and arriving at the Fire Source area, the wolf howl sounded even louder.

Currently, the Fire Source area was completely a sea of fire. The Golden Fire, which was originally only two feet high, soared up to the twenty-meter-high dome. The flames surged like waves, one after another, fiercer than the ocean tide. Amidst the golden hue, purplish-red Poison Flame occasionally erupted, and a faint white light flickered, mixed within the Golden Fire.

"You guy, your voice is still so loud." After speaking, Xie Ning rushed headlong into the fire source.

The current flames completely blocked Xie Ning's vision; he could only advance by discerning the sound.

After taking a few detours, he finally reached the source of the sound. Through the flames, he vaguely saw a beast shadow lying on the ground, the flames on its body constantly shifting—sometimes purplish-red, sometimes golden yellow, and sometimes a gray flame mixing the two.

The white light flickered faintly; the evolution seemed to be going poorly.

5... "Wuu..."

Listening to White Fang's painful howl, although Xie Ning felt distressed, he couldn't help but curse, "You guy! I told you to just absorb it, who told you to evolve..."

Despite his words, his actions were immediate.

He spent 50 evolution points to unlock the Origin Evolution Scheme. After absorbing the information in his mind, Xie Ning breathed a sigh of relief.

Fortunately, this evolution did not require any Materials.

He took out his long sword, enduring the dazzling golden light, found a suitable spot, and began carving the newly learned Formation on the ground.

This was a Formation for tempering energy, not only for White Fang's current evolution but also usable during future Cultivation, benefiting both humans and Demon Tamers Beasts by tempering them.

After taking a few minutes to carve the Formation, Xie Ning paused, then added another Formation around the first one to absorb energy—a technique he had learned when evolving the Supersonic Mantis.

As the two Formations were completed, the flames in the Fire Source area seemed to be soothed, slowly subsiding, and gradually flowing into White Fang's body along the activated Formation.

Simultaneously, the various energies on White Fang's body also became gentler. Although they still shifted alternately, they were more orderly. Even when the purplish-red and golden yellow occasionally collided to form gray, they would gradually separate and return to the two colors.

Time passed second by second.

White Fang's body slowly changed. The white light on its body gradually stabilized and brightened, changing from flickering to a steady glow.

About ten minutes later.

“Awooooo—!”

With a melodious and excited wolf howl, the flames in the Fire Source area suddenly receded, returning to their initial gentle height of two feet. Xie Ning finally saw White Fang's new appearance.

The boiling flames on its body gradually receded and returned to its interior, revealing its new form.

Its size had shrunk from a massive seven or eight meters to only about three meters in length. Its pure white fur remained unchanged, but a double-shadowed flame mark appeared on its forehead, flickering between golden yellow, purplish-red, and sometimes gray. Its eyes remained crimson red.

Other than its size, the changes were not significant, but its aura had undergone a massive transformation. Just that double-shadowed flame mark made it appear more mystical, and a trace of pressure was undeniably revealed.

[Ding! Evolution successful! Poison Flame White Wolf (Excellent High Grade) evolved into Strange Fire White Wolf (Transcendent High Grade)! Gained 25 evolution value!]

It was as pleasant to hear as always.

Xie Ning looked at the much smaller White Fang before him and grinned.

White Fang rushed towards Xie Ning, knocking him to the ground, and excitedly rubbed its head everywhere, causing Xie Ning to burst into laughter as he played with it. His thought, however, was—My mount is back!

If White Fang knew Xie Ning's inner thoughts, it probably wouldn't be so excited.

After playing for a moment, Xie Ning summoned its stats.

"Not bad. Not only did it advance 2 Ranks, but it also awakened a new Talent."

Xie Ning stroked the flashing flame pattern on White Fang's forehead and said happily.

"Of course! How could I lose to Master, this weakling, awoo~"

White Fang let out a cry, which sounded like a proud girl's voice to Xie Ning's ears.

"Alright, weakling it is. I'm tired anyway." Xie Ning said, rolling over and climbing onto White Fang's back, pointing towards the outside of the fire source. "Let's go! Head towards the cave entrance!"

"Awoo!"

With a wolf howl, White Fang's flame mark turned golden, and golden flames rose from its body. With a 'swoosh,' it crossed the space, sped around the corner, and quickly dashed toward the cave entrance.
