What does it mean when a pet evolves incorrectly?

Chapter 95 Lin Chen: I'm not human anymore!

The night wind howled, and the wild grass bowed low.

In the center of the battlefield, two figures were locked in combat.

On one side is the Moonlit Spirit Cat, which has just completed its evolution.

It stands on its knee-high grass, its slender body upright, and the sacred ring at the tip of its tail always emits a soft, milky-white halo.

On the other side was a leader-level Bladetail Viper, whose aura was wild and chaotic, having devoured several desolate star crystals.

Its massive body coiled up, flattening the weeds beneath it, its triangular head held high, its bright yellow vertical pupils locked on the Radiant Moon Spirit Cat.

Foul-smelling saliva dripped from between its slightly open, gaping maw and venomous fangs, sizzling as it corroded the grass.

Lin Chen raised his wrist, pointing the energy detection bracelet forward: "Speed ​​Name: Bladetail Viper."

"Attribute: Poison".

"Racial Rank: Intermediate Transcendent".

"Strength Level: Second Tier, Fifth Stage"

This leader-level Bladetail Viper is almost as strong as the Shadow Rift Cat from before, but neither of them can compare to the leader-level pets he encountered in the secret realm.

However, the Radiant Moon Cat had only recently broken through to the second tier.

"However, the Moonlit Spirit Cat's racial level is a whole level higher, and with the blessing of the Badge of Courage and my careful training, fighting it shouldn't be a problem," Lin Chen thought to himself.

"Meow~"

The Moonlit Spirit Cat turned its head and gently called out to Lin Chen, its amethyst-like eyes sparkling with lively light.

It didn't want to see the disappointment in Lin Chen's eyes.

"hiss--!!"

Perhaps it was the Moonlit Spirit Cat's calm demeanor that enraged the ferocious Bladetail Viper, or perhaps it was the pure and holy aura that made the Bladetail Viper feel instinctively uncomfortable and disgusted, and it launched the first attack.

His slender body suddenly shot out, so fast that it left a dark purple afterimage in the night.

With its gaping maw wide open to its limit, two dagger-like fangs gleamed coldly, and accompanied by a foul-smelling gust of wind, the leader-level Bladetail Viper viciously bit down at the Moonlit Spirit Cat's petite body!

This strike was powerful and heavy, and its angle was tricky.

Just as the venomous fangs were about to strike, the Moonlit Cat bent its legs and nimbly leaped to the side and back.

Its movements are as fast as lightning, yet they possess a unique elegance and coordination characteristic of felines, as if it were not being attacked, but rather performing a meticulously choreographed dance on the wasteland.

The dark purple snake head, carrying a foul stench, whistled past the Radiant Moon Cat.

If the first strike misses, the thick blade of the leader-class Blade-tailed Viper will sweep across like a whip!

The bone blade at the end of the blade, gleaming with a cold light, tore through the air with a sharp whistle, slashing at the Moonlit Spirit Cat, which was still in mid-air.

This change of tactics was extremely quick and seamless.

Without Lin Chen's prompting, the Moonlit Spirit Cat's purple eyes flashed. It was in mid-air, seemingly without any leverage, but its tail swung downwards and pushed against the ground, acting like a miniature thruster that lifted its body a little further.

Swish!

The cold blade's tail swept almost past the Moonlit Cat's feet, severing several wisps of drifting wild grass.

"Whispers of the heart," Lin Chen thought to himself.

As the blade's tail swept past, the Moonlit Spirit Cat used the momentum to twist its body, then fixed its gaze on the leader-level Blade-tailed Viper, emitting a faint sound with a peculiar rhythm from its throat: "Meow~~"

An invisible mental fluctuation spread rapidly, instantly enveloping the leader-level Bladetail Viper.

In an instant, the leader-level Bladetail Viper froze, a hint of confusion flashing in its vertical pupils, and its pursuit momentum stalled.

Lin Chen's eyes narrowed: "Now's the time to use Phantom Strike."

"Meow~"

The Moonlit Spirit Cat landed steadily without pausing, its slender figure transforming once again into a pristine white phantom, rushing towards the back of the leader-level Bladetail Viper's exposed neck from its pounce.

Its speed was so great that it left trails of afterimages in the night, making it difficult to spot its true form.

This is the advanced Phantom Strike, which is faster than Swift Strike and leaves behind afterimages to confuse the opponent, greatly improving its practicality.

In an instant, the Moonlit Spirit Cat rushed out dozens of meters and slashed out with its sharp claws while the leader-level Bladetail Viper was distracted.

hiss!

Its sharp claws tore off a piece of hard scales, and crimson blood gushed out from the wound. The intense pain brought the leader-level Bladetail Viper back to its senses, and it let out a shrill scream.

The next moment, the leader-level Bladetail Viper opened its menacing maw and lunged at the Radiant Moon Spirit Cat.

"Meow."

The Moonlit Cat nimbly retreated, avoiding a fatal blow.

"Light Blade Slash." Lin Chen's eyes sharpened, and he pressed his advantage.

The Moonlit Spirit Cat raised its right forepaw, and on the tip of the paw, brilliant and pure holy energy rapidly condensed, compressed, and extended, forming in the blink of an eye a solid, arc-shaped blade of light as sharp as a real blade!

Light Blade Slash!

laugh!

The light blade tore through the air, striking the viper's neck with perfect precision!

"hiss!!!"

The Bladetail Viper let out a painful and furious roar.

The dazzling blade of light cut deep into its flesh, leaving a gruesome, charred wound from which blood gushed out.

Seeing this, Lin Chen nodded thoughtfully: "The effect is quite good."

Light is inherently effective against poison, and with the added boost from the Badge of Courage and the Holy Ring, the power of this Light Blade Slash far exceeds the original strength of the Moonlit Spirit Cat.

"It's a pity the skill pool is still a bit shallow," Lin Chen murmured to himself.

The evolved Moonlit Spirit Cat only possesses three skills, which is quite limited compared to the Flame Spine Tyrannosaurus.

However, once this task is completed, the Moonlit Spirit Cat will immediately master [Cat's Eye] and [Cat Punch]. Although these two skills have simple names, they are the most important means of attack for Gatomon.

On the battlefield, the heavily wounded Bladetail Viper went completely berserk.

The excruciating pain and the corrosive power of light energy burned away its remaining rationality, leaving only pure rage in its eyes.

It no longer followed any rules, its slender body twisting and rolling wildly, its blade tail transforming into a blurry dark purple light and shadow, enveloping the Radiant Moon Cat!

At the same time, Senran opened and closed its mouth repeatedly, spraying mouthfuls of foul-smelling venom at the Radiant Moon Cat.

The venom landed, and the weeds instantly withered, turned black, and rotted, corroding the ground and creating sizzling pits!

The blade swept across, carving deep furrows into the ground, sending pebbles flying!

Faced with this indiscriminate barrage of attacks, the Moonlit Spirit Cat displayed astonishing evasion skills and combat instincts.

It pushes speed and agility to the extreme, its slender figure weaving and dodging through the swarms of venom and the afterimages of blades, like a small boat in a raging storm. Seemingly fraught with danger, it always manages to evade fatal attacks by the slightest margin.

It would occasionally seize the gaps in the attacks of the leader-level Bladetail Viper to launch a counterattack. With each counterattack, its sharp light blade slash and swift phantom flash would add a new wound to the latter.

Zhou Ming and the others had been paying close attention to the main battlefield, and upon seeing this, they couldn't help but exclaim, "The Radiant Moon Cat is amazing, it's suppressing the leader-level pet beast!"

Lin Chen frowned slightly: "It's still a bit lacking."

Currently, the combat power displayed by the Moonlit Spirit Cat is still somewhat inferior to that of the Flame Spine Tyrannosaurus.

Once the Flame Spine Tyrannosaurus evolves, it immediately gains power surpassing that of its peers, making it virtually invincible.

The Moonlit Spirit Cat is different; it is currently limited by its strength level and cannot fully exert its combat power.

The battle entered a stalemate, with grass clippings flying, venom splattering, light blades flashing, and constant roars filling the air.

But everyone could see that the scales of victory were slowly tipping.

Although the leader-level Bladetail Viper's attacks were fierce, they were completely disorganized, relying entirely on instinct, and were extremely taxing.

New wounds kept appearing on its body, and the pure light energy exacerbated its pain and chaos.

Unbeknownst to many, it began to show signs of slowing down and becoming powerless.

In contrast, the Moonlit Spirit Cat's aura remained steady and long.

"That's about it."

Looking at the leader-level Bladetail Viper, which was gradually losing its strength, Lin Chen said, "Let's finish it off."

But just as the Moonlit Spirit Cat was poised to deliver the final blow, a sudden change occurred.

"Hiss! Hiss!"

Two dark purple shadows shot out from the flanks of the chaotic battlefield like arrows released from a bow.

They didn't rush towards the Moonlit Spirit Cat in the center of the battlefield, nor did they go to rescue the leader who was in trouble. Instead, they went straight for Lin Chen, who was the core of the team!

Even wild pets understand that eliminating the beast tamer is equivalent to ending the battle.

These two blade-tailed vipers were extremely fast. One opened its fangs from the front, sending a stench through the air; the other moved stealthily along the ground, its blade-tailed tail like a sickle, aiming straight for Lin Chen's lower body!

The coordinated attack and the angled angles were perfect; it was clearly a premeditated sneak attack.

"Chen-ge, be careful!"

"Lin Chen!"

"later!"

Zhou Ming and the others immediately realized the intentions of the two blade-tailed vipers and shouted warnings while simultaneously commanding their pets to return to their aid.

The Flaming Eagle shrieked as it attempted to swoop down and intercept, while the Stone Armored Lizard roared and tried to block it with its body.

However, the closest Flameridge Tyrannosaurus merely glanced at the two overconfident Bladetail Vipers out of the corner of its eye, exhaling a small puff of breath carrying sparks from its nostrils, without moving its massive head or showing any intention of turning back to help.

These past few nights, Lin Chen would always take it to train late at night, while simultaneously beating its body with his increasingly painful fists.

Lin Chen said this was to temper its physical body, making it stronger and more indestructible.

Could these two frail little snakes have the strength of their own flesh?

Can they withstand Lin Chen's increasingly painful punches?

Faced with this sudden double attack, Lin Chen's lips curled up slightly. He stretched his arms, his face filled with excitement, and muttered to himself, "Finally, I can get some real combat experience."

He had waited for this day for far too long.

The next moment, he moved.

There was no dodging, no retreating.

Facing the two bladed vipers that came lunging at him head-on, Lin Chen suddenly took a half step forward with his left foot, lowered his waist and hips, and a steady, mountain-like power rose from his feet, transmitted to his waist and hips, and finally condensed in his right arm!

All the muscles in his body tensed instantly under his clothes, the lines smooth and full of explosive power. His right fist clenched, his knuckles making a slight popping sound, and he punched out straight at the stinking snake's mouth!

This punch was simple and unadorned, without any fancy skills, yet it was as fast as lightning and as heavy as a thousand pounds!

Wherever the fist passed, the air was compressed, emitting a low, short whistling sound!

Bang-!!!

The fist and the snake's body collided fiercely!

There was no stalemate, no fancy tricks.

With a muffled thud, followed by the cracking sound of bones breaking, the first Bladetail Viper that had charged straight at them screamed and flew back.

Upon closer inspection, its triangular snake head was clearly deformed, its fangs were broken, and blood was gushing from its mouth. Its body tumbled several times in the air before crashing heavily into the grass seven or eight meters away. It twitched a couple of times and then became still.

He was knocked unconscious by a single punch!

Almost simultaneously, another bladed viper had already touched Lin Chenshi's ankle.

Lin Chen seemed to have eyes in the back of his head. Just as the blade-tailed viper was about to strike, he threw out his right fist and used the force to slightly shift his body to the side. His left hand then reached down with lightning speed.

With five fingers like hooks, he grabbed the back of the blade-tailed viper's neck.

The tentacles were cold and slippery to the touch. The blade-tailed viper was terrified and twisted its body wildly, its fangs snapping back.

But Lin Chen's hand was like a vise, gripping the snake's neck. In an instant, he exerted force from his waist and abdomen, and his arm muscles bulged.

The next moment, to everyone's astonishment, he snatched the blade-tailed viper with one hand and slammed it down onto the hard rock beside him.

boom!

Dust flew everywhere, and gravel flew everywhere!

"hiss----"

Bladetail Viper let out a short, extremely mournful cry. Countless bones throughout its body were broken. It slumped limply on the rock, blood gushing from its mouth and nose. Shunwei fell into a deep coma.

From the moment the two bladed vipers launched a sneak attack to Lin Chen punching one away and knocking the other unconscious with his other hand, the entire process took less than half a minute. The scene was deathly silent.

Zhou Ming's command of the Flaming Eagle froze in mid-air, Li Heng'er's exclamation caught in her throat, Zhang Xiaoxiao covered her mouth, and Xiaoya stared wide-eyed.

"Brother Chen, are you not even going to be a human being anymore?"

A moment later, Li Heng swallowed hard, his face still filled with shock.

The next moment, he suddenly remembered something and asked the fatal question: "When did you acquire this power behind my back?"

Lin Chen remained calm and readily agreed: "After becoming a Beast Tamer, I would wake up every day to find that my strength had increased a little. Before I knew it, I had become like this."

Li Heng remained silent.

At this moment, Zhou Ming's brain was racing. He frantically searched his memory to see if he had ever done anything to upset Chen Ge during their time together.

After a moment, he breathed a sigh of relief: "Thank goodness, I've always respected Brother Chen."

Zhang Xiaoxiao gently patted Su Qingyuan'er's arm and whispered, "Yuanyuan, has Lin Chen awakened some kind of special talent?"

"That's the only possibility." Su Qingyuan nodded slightly, her eyes flashing. "His physical attributes will continue to improve as his beast-taming level increases, until he becomes a humanoid pet."

On the hilltop, a cold wind swept by, and the moonlight illuminated Ye Zhen's deathly pale face.

Yun Chuxiu remained calm. He glanced at Ye Zhenshi's reaction, sighed inwardly, and then slowly asked, "Did you see that?"

"Um."

"What are your thoughts now?"

"6

""

"Don't you have any thoughts at all?"

Why did he have to be in the same year as me?

Hearing this, Yun Chuxiu couldn't help but chuckle unconsciously, but upon meeting Ye Zhen's extremely serious face, he suppressed his laughter: "So what do you plan to do now? Do you still want to issue a challenge?"

Ye Zhen gazed at Lin Chen's figure and said, "Next time."
