Chapter 372: Chapter 227 Demon Eye Star People, Pinhole Blindness (4000 characters)
"Buzz..."
Two streaks of violet light shot from Qin Shou’s eyes, dark energy spread out, enveloping Jiatan Jie’er’s massive body.
"Roar..."
In an instant, Jiatan Jie’er screeched in panic, its enormous body suspended mid-air by the dark energy, as the violet light continuously absorbed the dark energy flowing out of its body, transforming into violet light particles and surging into Qin Shou’s eyes.
"Roar..."
Big brother, I yield, I yield, stop... spare me!
Jiatan Jie’er flailed its countless tentacles, its blood-red eyes growing increasingly dim, wailing sorrowfully.
But Qin Shou showed no mercy, continuing to absorb the dark energy within Jiatan Jie’er.
Infused with a Dark Energy Crystal, Jiatan Jie’er was far more savage than ordinary monsters, even harder to tame.
Last time, he gave it a proper beating, but this time, it dared to try sneaky tricks again.
This time, he had to scare it thoroughly, or else it might cause trouble again in the future.
But just as he had absorbed half of the dark energy, the energy light on his chest began to show signs of flickering.
Qin Shou paused, casually tossing Jiatan Jie’er into the System Space.
"Beep-beep-beep..."
The energy light flashed rapidly, dark energy swiftly corroding his flesh, several times faster than the assimilation of light energy.
It seemed that the human body had far weaker resistance to dark energy than to light energy.
The violet light in Qin Shou’s eyes dimmed, but he didn’t immediately deactivate the giant form.
Raising both hands high, Qin Shou leaped into the air, vanishing into the night sky.
Feng Yixiao and the others witnessed this and couldn’t help but breathe a sigh of relief.
Using only his gaze to subdue that terrifying Devil Beast—the dark giant transformed by Lord National Master was unfathomably powerful.
According to previous State Preceptors, this power was "threefold stronger when darkened!"
...
The next day, after Feng Yixiao had finished dealing with the aftermath of the Bronze Beast Tide, he discovered that Qin Shou had already returned to the National Master Mansion.
"Lord National Master, where did you go last night? This humble servant was greatly concerned..."
Feng Yixiao was thrilled, only to see Qin Shou lounging lazily on the dragon throne, smiling while extending his hand.
"General Feng, I appreciate your concern. Now, could you return it to me?"
"It? Lord National Master, what are you referring to...?" Feng Yixiao was utterly baffled.
Qin Shou rolled his eyes, "You sly old fox. Forget it, you can borrow it a few more times for now. Dismissed!"
"Thank you, Lord National Master."
Feng Yixiao immediately knelt down, his expression excited.
Transforming into a giant!
...
After Feng Yixiao departed, Qin Shou raised his hand, rolled up his sleeves, and gazed thoughtfully at the eerie black and white veins bulging on his forearm.
His body had been continuously assimilated by the opposite forces of light and dark energy, resulting in this anomaly.
Could the breakthrough method proposed by the Kid Star People really be reliable?
What if, instead of breaking through, he ended up becoming some abomination—neither human nor ghost?
Still, when he thought of those terrifying-looking Beast God Masters, Qin Shou felt reassured.
After all, he hadn’t seen those guys being shunned by humans. If worse comes to worst and he turns into a monster, he could simply disguise himself as a Beast God Master.
Becoming a monster wasn’t terrifying, but the prejudices in human hearts were.
Qin Shou, as human as he was, naturally couldn’t escape such sentiments.
Of course, as for the title "Shame of Beast Breeding," he could easily shrug that off.
Currently, the black and white blood vessels had only spread halfway up his left arm.
Qin Shou speculated that perhaps he’d need to wait until the veins covered his limbs and entire body to advance to the Unbreakable Realm.
Calculations suggested that advancing to the Unbreakable Realm wouldn’t take much longer.
With a faint smile, Qin Shou took out the Divine Light Stick, radiance appeared, and golden wings transformed into Ultraman Armor covering his chest.
"Buzz..."
In the next moment, a miniature Ultraman Tiga, barely two meters tall, materialized.
The assimilation of light energy didn’t depend on body size.
Well, this should count as training anytime, anywhere, right?
Qin Shou took out a mirror and examined himself, trying out a few classic poses.
Hmm, not bad. This will do.
"Beep-beep..."
The communicator flashed, and upon opening the video feed, Leng Wanbai froze momentarily.
"Transforming in broad daylight? Way too casual, don’t you think?" Her tone was exasperated.
Qin Shou waved dismissively, gingerly touching the silver metallic texture on his chin.
"Don’t mind it, this is training. So, what’s up?"
Leng Wanbai snapped out of it, recalling the matter at hand, and said, "The points task page updated last night. Did you check it?"
"The points task page updates daily. I was busy with serious business last night; no time to look at it."
"Well, one of the newly refreshed tasks concerns Morlo Kingdom. I’ve already accepted it on your behalf," Leng Wanbai explained.
"What task?" Qin Shou was taken aback.
Leng Wanbai’s unilateral decision to accept the task didn’t bother him; after all, she was well-acquainted with his plans.
Leng Wanbai sent the task details to Qin Shou and added, "A Demon Eye Star Person who’s been on the wanted list fled near Morlo Kingdom. The base received intelligence suggesting the individual might be hiding three hundred miles from Morlo Kingdom in Fierce Bear Valley.
The task requires us to assist the incoming Demon Eye Guard Team in capturing this pernicious Demon Eye Star Person. The mission is set for three days from now."
Qin Shou nodded, "This pernicious Demon Eye Star Person—what atrocities did they commit?"
Leng Wanbai tilted her head thoughtfully, then replied, "Apparently, the Demon Eye Star Person only has two eyes, but had the audacity to hook up with a three-eyed Demon Eye Star Person, violating the crime of disrespecting nobility, hence the bounty."
Qin Shou: "..."
"What the hell? Are you serious? So we’re essentially tasked with... catching adulterers?" He crossed his arms and snorted coldly.
"Beep-beep-beep..."
At that moment, the energy light blinked rapidly.
"Apologies, I need to switch forms."
Qin Shou chuckled as dark energy spread, transforming his entire appearance into the black form.
Leng Wanbai: "..."
"It’s more than catching adulterers. The base also issued a hidden task: covertly assist this Demon Eye Star Person in escaping and, ideally, persuade them to join the human faction."
