If the Molten Gold War Tiger is S-rank in strength and A-rank in speed, then the Thunder Swamp Sable is the ultimate in speed, an S-rank existence.
Although it has many advantages.
However, the intermediate-level beast form also has its drawbacks.
In its current form, Razer Sable cannot quickly transform into Molten Gold War Tiger.
There needs to be a transformation time of one to two seconds.
When it transforms, the body is in a non-aggressive state.
Perhaps only at the advanced or perfect level can one freely switch between forms without delay.
He looked up, his piercing gaze piercing through the heavy rain, looking towards the southeast of the city—the place where the Xuanjia Turtle Beast Spirit, guided by the will of nature, might exist.
"Fuse the remaining beast spirits in one go."
A flash of lightning appeared in Han Ning's eyes, and he shot off rapidly in the southeast direction!
……
Ruins of Egret City, Northwest Region.
Not long after Han Ning quietly left that military base.
Inside a small room in the area.
The room was simply furnished with a table and two chairs, and a faint musty smell filled the air.
At the entrance stood two men dressed in ordinary clothes, yet with remarkably upright postures.
Su Mingke sat in one of the chairs, her hands on her knees, her face expressionless.
Across from her, Zou Yu, his face flushed, was pacing back and forth.
"Mingke." Zou Yu suddenly stopped, placed his hands on the edge of the table, leaned forward, and tried to make his voice calm.
"I don't understand, I really don't understand, why won't you tell me where Professor Ye is right now?"
Su Mingke's gaze fell calmly on his face, her expression unchanging, showing no sign of replying.
Zou Yu seemed stung by the silence, and his tone became even more urgent:
"It was indeed my fault at first, letting Professor Ye be taken away by that guy of unknown origin."
"But there is still room for redemption."
"Commander Zhou made it clear that as long as we can bring Professor Ye back, he can immediately arrange a better environment for us and help us become awakened beings."
"Do you know what this means, Mingke? This is our chance to survive, and to live a better life!"
He took a breath, trying to make his words sound more convincing:
“I’m not trying to harm him; I just want him to go back to a safer, more secure place.”
“Those who survived in our school need him too. Why don’t you understand what good it will do you to keep this secret?”
Su Mingke looked at his face, which was contorted with excitement, and a hint of indescribable disappointment flashed deep in her eyes.
"Professor Ye is living a good life now and doesn't need to come back here," Su Mingke said coldly.
“I promised him that I wouldn’t bother him because of anything here.”
"You..." Zou Yu choked for a moment.
"A promise? Just for a promise? You're giving up such a huge benefit? Giving up the chance for all of us to change our destiny? Mingke, when did you become so selfish and so stubborn!"
Su Mingke slowly stood up, her cold tone now tinged with disgust.
"Am I selfish?"
"And what about you, Zou Yu? For the benefit of your own little clique, how many ordinary people did you abandon who ran away from school with you?"
“Those ordinary teachers and students who haven’t awakened… do you know that they are still struggling to survive outside? Have you even gone to see them? In your eyes, apart from your own future, other people’s lives and other people’s promises are just burdens that can be discarded at will.”
Her words struck Zou Yu's face like a whip, turning his complexion from red to green, his eyes darting around, and for a moment he couldn't find any words to refute her.
"I'm leaving."
Su Mingke stopped looking at him, turned around and walked straight towards the closed wooden door.
Reach out and grasp the doorknob.
"Wait!" Zou Yu almost reflexively growled, rushing forward in one stride.
His not-so-tall figure exuded an oppressive aura, blocking Su Mingke's path between her and the door, completely shutting her out.
The anxiety on his face turned into a gloomy expression:
"You can't leave unless you tell me."
……
To the southeast, deep within a wetland swamp completely submerged by floodwaters.
The water was covered with a thick layer of silt and emitted a pungent, fishy odor.
Large sections of building ruins are half-submerged in the water.
The water here is generally over three meters deep, and is filled with large amounts of garbage and rotting corpses.
Han Ning reverted to his Thunder Sable form and returned to human form. He activated his Molten Gold Eyes at full power, his mental energy acting like an invisible radar wave, meticulously scanning every inch of this desolate water area.
Finally, in the deep water near a construction site, he realized that this was the place guided by the will of nature.
He sank into the water, buried himself in the mud, and let his spirit sink into the earth, communicating with nature.
hum~
Many beast spirits appeared.
Among them, the most eye-catching is a large turtle-shaped creature with a dark brown shell.
Han Ning's spiritual power touched the beast spirit.
The imagined pain did not come.
Instead, the scene changed, transforming into a region that appeared to be eternally dark.
You can't feel the passage of time here.
This seems to be a typical daily life for turtles...
He slept for years, more than a decade.
Most of the time, they are indifferent to worldly affairs.
As for the creatures nearby that were biting and scratching at its shell, the turtle completely ignored them.
It can't even break through the defenses.
I sometimes feel really hungry.
The tortoise opened its mouth and bit down on several passing prey, chewed them a few times, and swallowed them whole.
The turtle blinked its eyes, no longer hungry, and fell into a deep sleep.
...
After an unknown amount of time, Han Ning suddenly felt a heavy pressure descend upon him.
He seemed to be carrying a huge mountain on his back, and all the bones and muscles in his body were cracking and creaking.
An invisible wave constantly swept through the body.
It was as if they were checking his physique to see if he was qualified.
finally……
"Woo~"
Han Ning vaguely heard a desolate roar and saw a black tide sweeping in with the threat of death.
This time, the tortoise finally panicked.
"Humph……"
In reality, Han Ning suddenly opened his eyes, his body lurched forward, almost sinking deep into the mud.
A tortoise shell mark, outlined by a thick, earthy yellow light, appeared between his brows.
The edges of the mark formed patterns resembling the back of a tortoise shell, slowly spreading across Han Ning's entire body and eventually disappearing beneath his skin.
[Beast Spirit Mark: The Black-Armored Turtle has been branded!]
[Beast Form (Intermediate) Currently available Beast Spirits to be Imprinted (3/3)]
In silence, the spirit of the Xuanjia Turtle completed its test on Han Ning.
----------
There are 3 more chapters, I'll post them later. They're included in yesterday's update, but I'm still too busy over the weekend.
Chapter 133 Changes in the Snake Swarm
With a slight thought, Han Ning attempted to transform into a Xuanjia Turtle.
His body swelled, and the bones on his back protruded, growing into a huge tortoise shell.
Click...
With the sound of soil being squeezed, a huge object appeared.
The fully-formed Xuanjia Turtle was indeed even more robust than the Molten Gold War Tiger, standing over 3.5 meters tall, with its tail reaching nearly five meters in length, resembling a small tank.
Its broad carapace is covered with sharp bone spurs.
Furthermore, these bone spikes can move and launch freely. Near the head and tail, there are a total of four cylindrical, hollow, cannon-like skeletons, resembling missile launchers.
Its limbs are as thick as pillars, covered with thick scales, and its long, thick tail trails behind it, close to the ground.
[You are currently in the complete form of the Xuanjia Turtle, and your spiritual energy is being continuously depleted.]
[Spiritual Power: 102/190 (100)]
Mental Strength: 2.7/5 (3.5)
