I Have a Golden Crow

”Baojun.”

Du Yu’s face gradually turned red.

He didn’t know exactly how heavy the Desolate Silver Lynx’s head was, but it was enough to make it hard for him to breathe.

”Mm.” The Desolate Silver Lynx rubbed against him, as if enjoying it.

Du Yu tried to divert the Desolate Silver Lynx’s attention: ”Let’s learn a General Level Demon Skill, okay?”

Lord Baojun was indeed interested: ”What’s the name?”

”Demon Skill·Mountain Earth Concealment.”

The Desolate Silver Lynx turned slightly, looking at Du Yu.

Through the Demon Soul, Du Yu sensed her curiosity.

Du Yu began to explain: ”Once you learn this Demon Skill, you’ll be able to hide within mountains and earth.

You will also be able to move freely through rocks and earth, hunting your targets.”

Upon hearing the word ”hunt,” the silver beast skull slowly lifted.

Du Yu finally breathed a sigh of relief and patted the ground with one hand: ”Release your Earth Demon Breath, and feel the frequency of the ground’s vibration.”

The Desolate Silver Lynx: ”What?”

Clutching the giant beast’s skull, Du Yu found it hard to see both of the Desolate Silver Lynx’s eyes given their close proximity.

So, Du Yu decided to just focus on one of her massive beast eyes: ”You don’t need to understand the specifics. All this has already been engraved in your bones.

You’ve been using Earth Demon Skills all along, more or less drawing upon the power of the land. You may not understand the theory, but you know the properties of rocks and earth.

You’ve already established a deep bond with mountains and earth. Now, feel it.”

The Desolate Silver Lynx took a thoughtful step back, lowering her head to gaze at the ground.

The cave was silent; no one dared to interrupt. Even the distant Desert Lynx race didn’t dare to breathe loudly...

Du Yu whispered, ”Can you feel the ground trembling?”

The Desolate Silver Lynx: ”It’s very strange.”

Du Yu’s heart leapt with joy, and he continued, ”Now, fill your whole body with Earth Demon Breath, and change your state of existence.

You are no longer flesh and blood, you are a being made of Earth Demon Breath.

Every hair, every patch of skin, matches the nature of the rock beneath your feet.”

The Desolate Silver Lynx accomplished this easily, since she had previously mastered the Demon Skill·Twin Desolate Lynx.

And Twin Desolate Lynx was an entirely physical clone simulated by Earth Demon Breath.

”And then?” The Desolate Silver Lynx looked down at Du Yu.

Du Yu: ”The most crucial step: adjust your vibration frequency, making it infinitely close to that of the rocks.

In other words, you must also begin to tremble, and blend into the rocky ground... uh.”

Before Du Yu finished speaking, the Desolate Silver Lynx suddenly sank into the ground.

Such a massive creature vanished before their eyes, making for a rather bizarre sight.

Lin Shiwei at the side was filled with admiration and softly asked, ”Did you take special note?”

But Du Yu’s smile carried a trace of helplessness: ”The Desolate Silver Lynx can only learn this one Demon Skill. Of course I remembered.”

Lin Shiwei’s brows knitted slightly: ”Its growth potential is exhausted?”

Du Yu nodded: ”An ordinary Desert Lynx can only reach Demon General Level at best.

You can find information online—there was a heterochromatic lynx that grew to Demon Emperor Level, and that’s the current world record.

But at the Demon Emperor Level, there are no matching Demon Skills left.”

Lin Shiwei fell silent. The Heaven and Earth Laws were forever dark clouds hanging over all living things.

Ordinary Desert Lynx are mostly similar.

But heterochromatic lynx all have their own characteristics.

Some have strong Strength Attributes, some have powerful Demon Power Attributes; in short, individual differences are huge!

In other words, just because another heterochromatic lynx can advance to Demon Emperor doesn’t mean Du Yu’s Desolate Silver Lynx can do the same.

The Demon General Level may very well be the peak for the Desolate Silver Lynx.

Actually, in the Demon Taming World, Fifth Level·Demon General is already quite powerful.

For species that the Demon Spirit Atlas rates as ”relatively high growth potential,” even if they perfectly unlock their potential, their final strength will usually hover around the General Level.

Take the Fire Fox Race and Yan Ruyu, for example.

Only those extremely rare species rated as ”very high growth potential” can try to ascend to Demon Emperor or Demon Saint Level.

For example, the Dust Spirit Deer race, or Bai Yujing.

In reality, no matter how great any race’s growth potential, it usually ends at Sixth Level·Demon Emperor.

To become a Demon Saint?

Aside from the necessary requirements, you need a vast number of coincidences.

One could say, Demon Saint Tier is something you can only encounter by chance, not seek out.

And that’s still the best-case scenario for blessed Demon Beasts cultivating.

As for the less-favored Human Race, aiming for Saint Level is nothing but wishful thinking.

In the entire Great Xia, only seven people have managed to make that dream come true.

No, to be precise—it’s six people...

”Records are meant to be broken.” After pondering for a long time, Lin Shiwei spoke softly.

Du Yu turned to look and saw only encouragement in the girl’s eyes.

”As long as we nurture her well, anything is possible.” Lin Shiwei’s voice was uncommonly gentle. ”Desolate Silver Lynx is a heterochromatic Demon Beast, and heterochromatism itself is a result of resisting the natural laws.”

”Mm.” Du Yu knew the girl was comforting him, but what she said made sense.

No matter what lies ahead, he would do his best to cultivate the Desolate Silver Lynx.

Even if Lord Baojun really only reached General Level, there are so many Celestial Materials and Earthly Treasures in the world, just like the Demon Fruit Tree Heart is to the Fire Phoenix Tree.

There will always be a way.

”Meow.” Suddenly, a massive beast head slowly surfaced from the ground.

Du Yu quickly collected his emotions. ”How was it?”

The Desolate Silver Lynx didn’t move at all, but her body slowly floated out from the ground, until all four paws stood firmly on the rocky ground.
