1283 Transformation and Reporting

Wang Teng was connected to Little White through the spiritual pet contract, and was able to sense its emotions.

The pet showed a strong desire for the crow ancestor’s blood essence.

Wang Teng was surprised.

Is it because both Little White and the ancestor are crows?

After all, they were the same kind of animal.

The blood crow ancestor didn’t reply to him directly when he asked if it was a crow. The elder was even angered by it. Wang Teng got confused.

But now, he felt that he understood.

They were both crows!

Wang Teng asked Little White, “Little White, do you want to have this blood essence?”

“Caw…” Little White couldn’t speak, so it only cawed in reply. However, the message wass conveyed.

It looked forward to absorbing that blood.

This is interesting!

“Wang Teng, you can let it have a go,” said Round Ball all of a sudden.

“Are you sure?” Wang Teng asked.

It was the blood essence of a vampire dark apparition. How could a normal creature absorb it?

Do you think Little White can absorb dark force like me?

“This blood essence comes from the blood crow race. It’ll help spiritual crows,” Round Ball explained.

“The blood crow race? But it has dark force. If Little White consumes it…” Wang Teng touched his chin. He was worried.

“That’s for you to decide,” Round Ball said.

Wang Teng was caught in a dilemma.

There was a high chance the crow would be contaminated and become a dark creature.

It wasn’t something that could be brushed off.

Once this happened, there was now way to turn back.

Little White was a Spirit Flame Ghost Crow, so it did possess some negative aura; slightly similar to dark force but it was still a light creature. There was an essential difference between them.

No one knew what would happen after absorbing that blood essence.

“Caw…” Little White called again.

“You still want to have this blood essence?” Wang Teng felt troubled.

Little White felt it was becoming less useful as time passed, and had the urge to raise its ability quickly. This was a great and rare opportunity that couldn’t be passed up.

After some time, Wang Teng sighed and relented.

Little White had its own thoughts. He had no reason to reject, seeing such resolve from the bird.

Raising his pet’s ability would benefit him too, and he didn’t want to abandon Little White if it couldn’t catch up with his developing speed.

“Take it.” Wang Teng stretched out his hand and the drop of blood essence floated towards the crow.

“Caw~” Little White called and rubbed its head on his palm intimately.

“Go ahead.” Wang Teng patted its head.

The bird finally swallowed the blood essence.

The next instant, Little White gave a shrill and loud caw and soared into the sky.

“Caw~!”

Wang Teng quickly looked up.

A blood-red glow exuded from the pet’s body while spreading its wings and cawing continuously.

It seemed to be in agony!

Boom!

A powerful aura blasted from Little White’s body. The blood-red glow became increasingly brighter until it covered the crow completely. It looked like a red sun hanging in the sky.

Wang Teng frowned. He was worried so he hurried and activated his Spiritual Sight and Eyes of Essence.

Our hero realized that the blood-red glow was a cocoon. Little White was curled up inside, while strings of red energy were seeping into his body.

The ancestor’s blood essence was transforming Little White’s body and changing its natural form.

However, the process wasn’t smooth. Wang Teng could see wisps of dark force seeping into Little White’s body.

Is this a good or a bad thing?

Wang Teng was worried. The crow had been with him for a long time, and they had developed a deep bond; he didn’t want anything bad to happen.

Round Ball consoled, “Don’t worry. The blood essence would at most turn it into a dark creature. It wouldn’t be life threatening.”

“It won’t be able to appear in front of others if it turns into a dark beast.” Wang Teng shook his head.

“You have many dark skills, right? Can’t you hide its aura?” Round Ball gave him a meaningful look.

Wang Teng was stunned, and reacted immediately after.

Round Ball is right!

Some of the intelligent high-rank star beasts could learn human or dark apparitions’ battle techniques.

For instance, the Devour Nihility Beast had grasped many battle techniques from the human race.

Little White would be able to hide its aura if he taught it some dark battle techniques.

Furthermore, the bird was always next to him, so others wouldn’t notice if he was careful enough.

Wang Teng smiled when he thought about this, and his worries faded.

“Round Ball, thank you.”

Round Ball smiled.

…

Little White’s transformation would take some time, so Wang Teng left the space fragment.

A few hours later—everyone was back at the main base. The battlecraft made a slow descent to the Tiger Strike Force’s territory.

The martial warriors in the main base immediately noticed their arrival. They stopped what they were doing and looked at the craft as it came down with looks denoting respect. They saluted in the distance.

“It’s the Tiger Strike Force!”

“Did you hear that they managed to reclaim the thirteenth frontline? They were victorious!”

“It’s not that simple. I heard they annihilated all the dark apparitions lurking there.”

“Gasp… really? They wiped them out?!”

“I heard it from my uncle who works at the general staff department. Not only that, Major Wang Teng also caught a mid-tier devil emperor alive.”

“Oh my god, a mid-tier devil emperor? Major Wang Teng is only at the celestial stage, right? How did he manage to catch such a creature? What a monster!”

“Major Wang Teng is the genius of our military. Not many people in the Great Qian Empire can be compared to him.”

“That’s right. He’s made lots of contributions to the military. How can other talents compete with him?”

…

Discussions erupted amongst the crowd as the Tiger Strike Force battlecraft disappeared from their sight.

The news had already spread like wildfire before their arrival. Everyone knew they had won by a landslide and caught a high-profile creature.

General called Wang Teng to summon him as soon as they reached camp.

They were anxious to know how he recaptured the thirteenth frontline and to have his detailed report of the battle.

Wang Teng had no choice but to take his five deputies for the meeting.

He heard the rumors along the way.

He was stunned.

All I caught was a low-tier devil emperor. How did it become a mid-tier devil emperor?

Who spread the news?

Rumors are scary.

“Commander, you’re becoming more and more mysterious as people speak about you,” Deputy Jira said with a smile.

“I know I’m outstanding, but I’m honest. I don’t lie. Please help me clarify that I caught a low-tier devil emperor of the vampire kind, not a mid-tiered one. It’ll be bad if people have the wrong idea,” Wang Teng said in a righteous tone.

The five deputies: …

For some reason, it sounded weird.

It still sounded like he was boasting, but they had no evidence.

“Remember to clear this up thoroughly. You can mention the ancestor’s blood essence to make it more credible. They might not believe otherwise. I don’t lie,” Wang Teng added.

The five deputies: …

Shameless!

They didn’t know what to say. This made them update their understanding of his shamelessness.

Some time passed. They arrived at the commanding hall; everyone was already waiting for them.

The door opened.

Everyone’s gazes landed on Wang Teng.

The sudden appearance of those people shocked Wang Teng, especially their intense eyes, seemingly ready to cut him up.

Scary!

“Hey, everyone’s here.” Wang Teng swallowed his saliva and raised his hand to greet them.

Silence.

Everyone was stunned. They didn’t know whether to laugh or cry.

Wang Teng made the serious occasion funny with a single sentence.

Both Red Scorpion and Raging Bear commanders were present. They felt at a loss when they saw their young peer in the flesh. He was a little different from what they expected.

Shouldn’t a talent be extraordinary, and full of arrogance?

Why does he seem like a… funny guy!

That’s right, he looks like a funny guy!

Those thoughts randomly popped up in their minds at the same time.

Is this really the talented martial warrior who annihilated the dark apparitions dominating the thirteenth frontline and caught a low-tier devil emperor alive?

They started to doubt themselves.

“Our outstanding martial warrior is back.” General Cameron broke the silence with a smile. “Come in.”

“Right. Quick, come in and tell us how you fought that battle. General Cameron kept it a secret; he said we had to wait for you to return.” General Qi Yuanju waved his hands impatiently.

The other generals were also waving him over enthusiastically. Wang Teng felt overwhelmed.

He walked in and reported his battle process.

Everyone knew the results but they were still astounded by the details.

“Good riddance, you used a lightning array. No wonder you waited for so many days.” General Qi Yuanju was enlightened. His eyes looked bewildered.

“A fifth-rank grandmaster level array minimized your casualties to the lowest. I’m embarrassed to say I thought you weren’t taking action due to fear.” General Ukeri shook his head.

Berkeley and Haus glanced at each other. They willingly accepted their loss. The boldness and foresight of the new Tiger Strike Force commander was better than theirs.

They decided to storm in so there were many casualties in their team.

And yet, Wang Teng held back for a long time. He didn’t care about victory, placing more importance in the lives of his martial warriors.

That was enough to prove his level was higher than theirs!
