My Beast Is the 12-Winged Angel Chapter 429 - 430: Flowers in the Greenhouse
Previously on My Beast Is the 12-Winged Angel...
Once the contract was finalized, Gu Xing examined Long Qingyan’s Attributes with great interest.
It was likely due to the Dragon Emperor’s Power being present before.
Previously, a thick layer of mist had obstructed his attempts to view Long Qingyan’s various Attributes.
Now that a temporary contract had been established with Long Qingyan, he gained the ability to see her Attributes clearly.
Gu Xing’s eyes widened slightly as he scanned the information.
[Long Qingyan]
[Level: Monarch Tier One]
[Talent: Myth Nine Stars]
[Race: Dragon Race]
[Power: 250,000]
[Constitution: 200,000]
[Spirit: 150,000]
[Speed: 200,000]
[Skills: Law Body]
Gu Xing was momentarily stunned by the sight of Long Qingyan’s various Attributes.
The Dragon Race functioned in a way that was fundamentally different from other Races.
They do not focus on mastering a variety of Skills.
Instead, they rely entirely on their overwhelming physical Attributes to annihilate their foes.
Take Long Qingyan as a primary example.
She is only at Monarch Tier One.
Despite this, her Power and Constitution Attributes have already surpassed the 200,000-point mark.
It is well-known that Qingshuang, who was once considered exceptional in Power, could not compare to this member of the Dragon Race at the Monarch Tier One level.
As for other Guardian Beasts, the idea of comparing them to Long Qingyan was simply out of the question.
From these stats, Gu Xing finally understood why the Dragon Race was hailed as the strongest Race in the Alternate Space.
Beyond their raw Attributes, the Dragon Race possesses an extremely abnormal Skill.
Law Body!
This Skill permits the user to fuse the Laws directly into their physical form, resulting in a massive boost to their Attributes.
The scale of this Attribute enhancement depends entirely on how well one has mastered the Laws.
If the mastered Law is sufficiently potent, gaining a million Attributes in a single heartbeat is entirely possible.
Even Gu Xing could not suppress an exclamation after witnessing such a Skill.
"Freakish!"
Gu Xing had a sudden thought after finishing his review of Long Qingyan’s data.
He turned to Long Qingyan and curiously inquired about her level of mastery over the Laws.
However, the little girl’s body suddenly went rigid upon hearing Gu Xing’s question.
"Well... this..."
A sense of foreboding washed over Gu Xing as he watched the little girl stammer.
It was exactly as he had suspected.
"Well... you see, I haven’t actually learned how to use the Laws yet."
Gu Xing’s mouth twitched involuntarily at her admission.
Long Qingyan possesses a Myth Nine Stars Talent.
Gu Xing refused to believe that there was any defect in her innate Talent.
Furthermore, she had the Dragon Emperor by her side.
The Dragon Emperor could easily manifest Laws for the girl to perceive and study.
Between her peerless Talent and her incredible cultivation environment, there was no reason for her to fail.
This little girl had not mastered the Laws for one reason alone...
Growing up in the tranquility of the Dragon Race, she had simply been too lazy.
She had completely squandered her Talent!
Moreover, he began to suspect that the Dragon Emperor had another motive for letting her follow him.
It was to help her realize something.
To understand that the world is still full of dangers and that she could not spend her entire life in idle pleasure.
Right at that moment.
The Demon Race that had recently arrived in the valley below had already fixed its sights on him and Long Qingyan.
To the demon, these two beings radiating such vibrant life force...
Were nothing more than exquisite snacks!
After all, as a Monarch Level entity, it was a supreme powerhouse in nearly any world.
It found it impossible to believe that it would encounter an opponent of the same caliber immediately upon entering this realm.
It was convinced of its superiority!
Consequently, it charged toward the duo without even bothering to sense their auras in the sky.
"Roar——!"
"Fresh meat! You shall be the first nourishment for my arrival in this world!"
Gu Xing remained perfectly composed at the sight of the approaching monster.
He cast a brief glance at the eager Little Dragon Maiden standing beside him.
"It’s up to you! Show me the true strength of the Dragon Race Princess."
"Alright! Just watch me!"
Far from being afraid, Long Qingyan’s eyes burned with a surge of intense excitement.
Because of her royal status on Dragon Island, no one ever dared to engage her in a genuine fight.
But this was a real battle!
She let out a piercing cry as golden light erupted from her body, instantly transforming into her massive, true form: a Five-Clawed Golden Dragon.
Then, radiating majestic dragon might, she charged recklessly at the Demon Race!
"Boom!"
The earth and mountains trembled as golden light collided violently with Demonic Qi!
However, it was clear that Long Qingyan was severely lacking in experience during her first true combat.
Her maneuvers were predictable, relying almost entirely on her instincts and raw power.
In contrast, while the Demon Race’s Attributes might have been slightly lower, its combat experience was incredibly vast.
Using strange movements and cunning attack angles, it managed to leave shallow wounds on Long Qingyan’s magnificent dragon body.
While these injuries were not fatal, they left Long Qingyan looking quite flustered and embarrassed.
Gu Xing watched the conflict from mid-air, remaining calm and showing no desire to step in.
He recognized that this was exactly the kind of tempering the Dragon Emperor intended for her.
Growth occurs most rapidly in the heat of genuine battle.
Gu Xing’s eyes narrowed when the Demon Race spotted a weakness, gathered its full power for a decisive blow, and sneeringly aimed its claws at Long Qingyan’s soft dragon underbelly.
"Sally."
No further explanation was needed; the little cat girl perched silently on his shoulder understood him perfectly.
With ripples of time shimmering in her pale golden eyes, she raised a paw and pressed it toward the Demon Race.
"Time Slow!"
Instantly, the Demon Race’s lethal, guaranteed strike slowed down several times, moving as if it were a slow-motion recording.
This sudden shift gave Long Qingyan the room she needed to breathe, allowing her to twist her dragon body and narrowly avoid her vitals.
She looked toward Gu Xing and Sally with a flash of fear in her eyes, but that fear was quickly overtaken by an even more ferocious fighting spirit.
Once, twice, three times...
Thanks to Gu Xing’s well-timed assistance, Long Qingyan escaped certain doom repeatedly.
She began to unconsciously mimic the Demon Race’s evasive maneuvers, learning how to anticipate her enemy's next move.
Under the intense pressure of a life-and-death struggle, her incredible combat Talent began to manifest rapidly.
"Roar——!"
Finally, Long Qingyan unleashed a deafening dragon roar, capitalizing on the moment when the Demon Race had exhausted its strength and had yet to recover.
With a perfectly aimed Dragon Emperor Heaven-Breaking Claw, she crushed the Demon Race’s head into fragments!
The massive demonic corpse crashed to the ground, dissolving into nothing but pure Demonic Qi.
With a burst of golden light, Long Qingyan reverted to her human form.
Her small face was flushed with exertion and joy as she flew excitedly to Gu Xing’s side, tilting her head up as if begging for a compliment.
"What do you think? Gu Xing! I was amazing! A Monarch Tier One just took down a Monarch Tier Nine!"
Seeing her so proud of her achievement, Gu Xing couldn't help but feel amused internally.
He knew that Liu Li, when she was only Monarch Tier One, could have easily wiped out Totem-level demons long ago.
Still, for the previously lazy and inexperienced Long Qingyan, this was a massive step forward.
He suppressed the urge to criticize her and instead gave a nod of encouragement.
"Yes, you did well. You are improving very quickly."
The Little Dragon Maiden radiated happiness upon receiving his praise.
