100: Complete transformation

"If I didn't bleed a little, how could I use the Refining attempts three times in one go? Lord-level Essence Blood is a great tonic for me; it can perfectly replenish the blood and Qi I lost."

Huang Shi tremblingly raised his hand and gave Bai Ye a thumbs-up, indicating that he was fine.

Bai Ye opened his mouth. He was indeed very grateful to Huang Shi, but the way Huang Shi looked right now made him seem like the leader of a cult.

In the center of the Magic Array, Xiao Hei was completely unaffected.

It was lazily sprawled on the ground, couldn't help but yawn, and looked drowsy.

Soon, three enormous Demonic Beast Phantoms rose from the Magic Array.

They were the exact likenesses of those three Lord-level Magical Beasts.

Their Phantoms circled around Xiao Hei before simultaneously drilling into Xiao Hei's small body.

"Meow?"

Xiao Hei's body trembled slightly, and it rubbed its belly, seemingly feeling a bit full.

Wisp after wisp of black mist, visible to the naked eye, began continuously emerging from its body.

The black Qi even formed the shape of a skull in mid-air, lunging toward Bai Ye, who swatted it away with a single slap.

Now, even random cats and dogs dared to provoke him.

Bai Ye stared intently at Xiao Hei in the center of the Magic Array.

The shackles inside Xiao Hei's body were being forcibly washed away by a specialized external force.

Xiao Hei's own aura also climbed steadily under the cleansing of this energy.

Crack!

A sound like shattering glass simultaneously rang out in the ears of Bai Ye and Huang Shi.

Success!

I truly am a Genius Refiner!

A tired yet satisfied smile appeared on Huang Shi's face.

Using three Refining attempts at once—any Refiner would surely feel heartbroken and shed tears.

No, aside from a Genius like himself, no one at the same Rank could possibly wash away that little cat's Negative Talent.

Almost simultaneously, the energy hidden deep within Xiao Hei's body erupted.

This energy was so pure and vast, as if it contained a complete world.

"Holy cow, what kind of cat is this? Its Bloodline is too exaggerated!"

Huang Shi watched the scene before him, his eyes nearly popping out of their sockets.

It was indeed worthy of being the cat that required him to use three attempts to Refine.

In the center of the Magic Array, Xiao Hei's body was enveloped by a dense cluster of Seven-Colored Auspicious Light, and its aura rocketed upward wildly.

mortal grade Intermediate!

mortal grade Advanced!

mortal grade Limit!

Boom!

Xiao Hei easily broke through the constraints of the mortal grade and successfully stepped into the Extraordinary Level Domain.

Extraordinary Level Elementary.

It instantly surpassed Phantom Snow and was the first to enter the Extraordinary Level.

"What species is this cat of yours? This Bloodline is too terrifying!"

Huang Shi shouted excitedly from the side.

There was also a similar small white cat nearby. Could it be the same as this little black cat?

He could vaguely sense that the small white cat also seemed to have a Negative Talent.

If that one were also Refined, it would probably be a little monster too.

Bai Ye did not answer him, only staring intently at Xiao Hei, who was enveloped in the Seven-Colored Auspicious Light, while silently reciting in his heart.

"illustrated compendium, Scan!"

He couldn't wait to know what kind of qualitative change Xiao Hei would undergo after the shackles were unlocked.

[Name]: Xiao Hei (Phantom Cat)

[attribute]: Normal/Dream (Awakening)

[Gender]: Female

[Aptitude]: Commander Elementary

[Rank]: Extraordinary Level Elementary

[Skill]: Cry (No Rank), Entering Dreams (mid-rank) (beginner), Thousand Dreams Gift (Advanced Rank) (beginner)

[Talent]: Metamorphosis (Special), Unyielding (Blue)

[Introduction]: A Phantom Cat whose Negative Shackles have been unlocked. Its Phantom Beast Bloodline has initially Awakened, allowing it to tentatively use dream attribute Skills. Its potential is unfathomable.

Its Aptitude soared from the original Outstanding Intermediate to Commander Elementary!

This is Commander-level!

Moreover, it is Lord Rank Elementary before evolution, meaning Xiao Hei is only one step away from Phantom Snow in terms of Talent.

There were also changes in its Skills and Talents.

The original Gray Talent "Frail" had transformed into a blue, Positive Talent after Refining!

[Talent: Unyielding (Blue)]

[Effect]: A Special Talent that transformed from "Frail" after the Bloodline Shackles were shattered.

For every one percent drop in Health Points, All Attribute Combat Power increases by two percent.

When Health Points drop below fifty percent, the combat power increase effect doubles, becoming four percent.

When Health Points drop below twenty percent, the combat power increase effect doubles again, becoming eight percent!

[Note]: When the combat power increase brought by this Talent is stacked with other Amplification-Type Talents or Skill effects, only addition calculation can be performed, not multiplication.

Bai Ye looked at the description of this Talent and gestured with his fingers.

If he stacked this Talent, his combat power could continue to multiply, but he would need to suppress the recovery effect of Photosynthesis.

This Talent was born for fighting with everything you have!

Although the note explained that it couldn't be stacked multiplicatively with other amplification effects, it was already Heaven-Defying enough.

[Skill: Entering Dreams (mid-rank) (beginner)]

[Description]: Allows one to silently infiltrate the target's Dreamscape, peek into their memories, and even inflict Spiritual Trauma upon them within the Dream.

[Skill: Thousand Dreams Gift (Advanced Rank) (beginner)]

[Description]: At the cost of falling into slumber oneself, it condenses Dreamlike Power into pure Life Energy, instantly restoring fifty percent of a severely injured friendly unit's Health Points. The slumber time is six hours.

One is control plus reconnaissance, the other is powerful single-target healing.

Even if they didn't go to Huang Shi's Ancestral Secret Realm, Xiao Hei's epic strengthening this time was enough to satisfy him.

If the Proficiency of both skills increased, Xiao Hei could completely use Entering Dreams immediately after using Thousand Dreams Gift.

A moment later, the Seven-Colored Auspicious Light enveloping Xiao Hei finally dissipated slowly.

Xiao Hei's figure reappeared in the center of the Magic Array.

Its size hadn't changed much; it still had its cute, palm-sized appearance.

However, the temperament of the entire "cat" had undergone an earth-shattering change.

Unintentionally, tiny starlight twinkled within its pure black fur.

Ah, this was the result of energy uncontrollably leaking out. Bai Ye felt that he couldn't spoil Xiao Hei anymore; she needed proper training.

"Meow~"

Xiao Hei flicked its tail and walked out of the Magic Array.

She looked up at Bai Ye, took a small leap, and jumped straight into his arms.

Its fluffy little head rubbed vigorously against Bai Ye's chest.

The shackles that had kept it weak vanished from its body. It felt like it could now carry its master and run ten kilometers in one breath, and even defeat ten of those big bugs from their home.

"There, there, I know you're happy."

Bai Ye smiled and rubbed its head. Through Telepathy, he could receive the joyful emotions transmitted by Xiao Hei.

His own mood also became exceptionally relaxed.

He had finally managed to resolve this trouble.
