Chapter 532: Annihilation Eye Demon, Annihilating Eye!
Chapter 532: Annihilation Eye Demon, Annihilating Eye!
Li Feng once again scrutinized the young man before him from head to toe.
He appeared younger than Li Feng, by quite a margin.
However, it was undeniable that this seemingly immature-looking young man exuded an indescribable aura.
As far as he could recall, the breeders in their unit were Master Yin and Jian Yuejian, weren't they?
Where did this young man suddenly come from?
But it was true that the matter of the paper puppets was not something an ordinary person would know about.
Within the legion, news from the outside world was relatively scarce, and the soldiers, in particular, knew very little about the paper puppets.
Previously, their understanding of paper puppets was quite biased.
Everyone, including Li Feng, only knew that the evolved form of the paper puppets was a special evolution developed by the Loong Kingdom, and it was incredibly powerful.
And now, after personally witnessing the paper puppet bonded beasts brought back a few days ago, everyone finally confirmed this fact.
However, precisely because of this, Li Feng was extremely confident and certain about the breeders in their unit. Yet, this young man had effortlessly seen through it, clearly having an intimate understanding of them.
Seeing Li Feng's bewilderment, Su Ping smiled and waved his hand, saying, "Alright, since the other two bonded beasts aren't confidential, summon them and let me have a look. As for the other two bonded beasts, were they your personal choices or the ones chosen within the unit?"
Indeed, Su Ping's attitude was convincing, and Li Feng began to believe him a little. After some thought, he realized that this wasn't any confidential information. If this young man asked him to summon the paper puppets and the night raven automaton, he would never do it.
Under Su Ping's confident gaze, Li Feng extended his hand, and a beam of light flashed.
Two unique figures appeared before them.
Indeed, one of these two bonded beasts was quite familiar to Su Ping.
It was one of the types of bonded beasts that had piqued his interest.
An eye demon.
However, it wasn't the same as the death tombstone that Su Ping had encountered before.
During the battle with the bone dragon beastmaster Xie Qiong, she had such a death tombstone bonded beast.
And among Qin Feng's two bonded beasts, there was an eye demon.
However, unlike the previous death tombstone, this eye demon was of average size and didn't exhibit any special changes.
It wasn't an evolved form; it was just an ordinary eye demon.
Ordinary eye demons were also top-tier potential breeds that could occasionally break through the sovereign level.
They possessed extremely powerful detection and mental hypnosis abilities.
They were a type of bonded beast that embodied both strength and weakness.
Powerful mental strength but a feeble physical body.
The death tombstone, in Xie Qiong's hands, was a high-level sovereign, almost reaching the imperial level.
In addition to the mental attribute, it also had a darkness attribute.
It was a rare and precious evolved form.
Of course, this was normal.
In the Youth Beastmaster Competition, those who could make it into the top twenty were naturally not ordinary.
The resources and effort invested in them were indeed not comparable to those of the beastmasters in the legion.
Even though Li Feng was a member of the special beastmaster unit, the primary focus of breeding was on the paper puppets and the straw man, so the breeding of the eye demon was not a priority.
The other bonded beast was a relatively ordinary skeleton sovereign.
This was normal; this skeleton sovereign was probably Li Feng's first and most ordinary bonded beast.
After performing exceptionally, he had risen to his current position within the legion.
Su Ping's main attention was also focused on the eye demon:
"This eye demon is not bad! Is there a legion in the Northern Border Legion that primarily uses eye demons?"
However, at this moment, a voice sounded from behind, and a smiling figure said, "As far as I know, the Third Army of the Northern Border Legion once had a special breeder who developed a special breeding evolution for the eye demon. At that time, Commander Cheng of the Third Army personally inspected the project and specially approved the establishment of a special beastmaster legion squad within their Third Army, centered around this special evolved eye demon!"
Su Ping turned around, and to his surprise, Master Yin had appeared not far away, walking towards them with a smile.
Li Feng quickly saluted, "Greetings, Master Yin!"
Yin Luo nodded and then looked at Su Ping, "Unfortunately, later on, that evolved eye demon had some flaws and was found to have a fatal breeding defect, so the project was abandoned.
But some of the soldiers who were initially selected had already bonded with the eye demon as their bonded beast, and Captain Li was one of them."
Not only that, but there are many members within the Tomb Sky Legion who were initially selected as the best of the best."
Su Ping nodded in understanding, not rushing to ask any questions. Instead, he turned his gaze towards the Eye Demon.
Li Feng, on the other hand, looked at Yin Luo, his eyes filled with curiosity.
Yin Luo smiled and then spoke solemnly, "This is the youngest Master Breeder on Blue Star, a Hall Master Breeder, and the son of your instructor, Su Ping. The paper puppet breeding was completed and developed by Master Su!"
"Furthermore, this time, as you enter the Heavenly Tombs, your task and purpose are no longer to uncover the secrets within, but to protect Su Ping's safety with all your might, even at the cost of your lives."
Upon hearing this, Li Feng was taken aback.
But Su Ping waved his hand, "Let's not rush into that yet. It's still uncertain! The situation in the Heavenly Tombs is complex and unique. First, tell me about this special evolved form of the Eye Demon."
It was clear that as a breeder, and especially one with an external advantage, Su Ping was genuinely more interested in this topic.
Yin Luo nodded, "You've asked the right person. Apart from Han Qiong, who developed it initially, I'm probably the one in the entire Loong Kingdom who understands this evolved form the best.
When this breeding method encountered problems, I was specifically asked to come and observe, to see if there was any solution.
This evolved form is called the Annihilation Eye Demon! Hearing this name, can you guess some of its characteristics?"
Su Ping raised his eyebrows.
Annihilation Eye Demon.
The name of this evolved form was quite straightforward.
However, just like the previous Dark Eye Demon, this creature, as an evolved form of the Eye Demon, indeed revealed its unique traits.
So, if the Dark Eye Demon was a fusion with the darkness attribute, what characteristics did this so-called Annihilation Eye Demon possess?
Su Ping blinked and then thought, "The Radiance class?"
As soon as he said this, Yin Luo looked at him as if he had seen a ghost, "Did you see this creature's evolution in the Breeder Association's database?"
Su Ping shook his head, "No!"
"How did you associate the word 'annihilation' with the Radiance class?"
Su Ping smiled, "It's not that complicated. In reality, this creature doesn't have direct killing power. It's mainly a special Spirit-type Bonded Beast that relies on spiritual power. Its combat abilities can't possibly achieve annihilation.
The only ability that fits this description and meets the conditions is more likely to be of the Darkness class, and we already have the Dark Eye Demon for that.
Apart from that, the most likely classes are the Deathline and Radiance classes.
However, based on my understanding, it's probably difficult to breed the Deathline class into this Eye Demon as an evolved form.
On the contrary, the Radiance class is more feasible. The Eye Demon's body, with its eyes as the main existence, inherently has a certain refraction ability for light. Therefore, the Radiance class is more likely."
He didn't hold back any information; this was genuinely his understanding.
Yin Luo nodded, while Li Feng, standing by his side, blinked in confusion, still unable to fully comprehend the situation since the beginning.
After learning of Su Ping's identity and that he would accompany them to the Heavenly Tombs, he hadn't snapped out of his daze.
At this moment, Su Ping's words confirmed what Master Breeder Yin Luo had said.
Was this truly a genius breeder? But why would such a genius breeder want to accompany them into the Heavenly Tombs? What if they encountered danger?
However, neither of the two men paid attention to Li Feng's thoughts at this time.
Su Ping turned to Yin Luo, "Can you give me more details about this Annihilation Eye Demon?"
Yin Luo thought for a moment and replied, "Alright, the Annihilation Eye Demon caused quite a stir in the Northern Border Legion due to its remarkable performance.
The breeding difficulty for a High Sovereign-level evolved form isn't actually that high, and this Annihilation Eye Demon possesses a racial skill called Annihilation Beam.
Su Ping nodded.
Annihilation Beam, as the name suggests, is somewhat similar to the light refraction effect of Xiao Qing's paper puppet.
And indeed, it is.
"The Annihilation Beam is akin to laser weapons among mechanical weapons, but it has the combat capability to destroy all matter!
Once the numbers increase, more than ten Annihilation Eye Demons can even threaten Bonded Beasts of High Emperor-level. If possible, on the battlefield, with a significant increase in numbers, the effect could be even more astonishing.
Therefore, at that time, not only the Third Army but even the Ghost Saint, who was in charge of guarding the Northern Border Legion, paid close attention and actively promoted the formation of a special Annihilation Legion.
However, after selecting suitable members and completing other preparations, some issues arose.
As he spoke, Yin Luo licked his lips, seemingly reminiscing about the past with some emotion.
"Back then, Han Qiong successfully bred five Annihilation Eye Demons, and each one's performance exceeded everyone's expectations. Although their individual combat strength wasn't extremely powerful, their numbers made up for it, far surpassing their expected rank."
"Especially on the battlefield, they were exceptional. But after the breeding was complete, about two months later, problems arose. Starting with the first one, Han Qiong's own bonded beast, the Annihilation Eye Demon's body began to change and encounter issues."
"It gradually became smaller and thinner, and eventually, in less than a week, it completely died! It's almost as if it was hit by its own Annihilation Beam, only much slower."
During this time, Han Qiong tried many methods, and I offered a lot of help. Simultaneously, some breeding masters within the Breeder Association shared this matter and provided numerous solutions."
"But in the end, nothing changed! And more crucially, the Annihilation Eye Demon was Han Qiong's bonded beast. When a bonded beast dies, the beastmaster, even if they don't die, will suffer unimaginable injuries."
"Aside from the soul and spirit's severe injuries, Han Qiong's meditation recovery was not proactive at the time."
"Unfortunately, the North Border Legion's talented breeding master, who was not bad at all, ended up like this."
Yin Luo shook his head with a hint of regret as he spoke.
Within the country, there were too few advanced deathline breeding masters, let alone master breeders.
"So, from then on, no breeder in the Breeder Association dared to ignore that suggestion. That is, without complete confidence, never use your bonded beast to attempt a new breeding evolution."
Yin Luo spoke with a hint of helplessness.
Su Ping nodded, understanding the situation.
Back then, the situation with the Thousand Wood Wolf was so similar to the Annihilation Eye Demon.
If not for his cheat, even he, a novice at the time, would have struggled to resolve the Thousand Wood Wolf's evolution aftereffects.
However, this very fact made Su Ping's heart stir.
He turned to Yin Luo:
"By the way, Master Yin, do you still have the breeding evolution method for the Annihilation Eye Demon?"
Yin Luo's expression was as if he had expected this.
He had been interacting with Su Ping for over two months at the Heart of All Souls.
He had already guessed some of this young man's thoughts.
Compared to others in such situations, Su Ping was undoubtedly more concerned about the Annihilation Eye Demon's evolution itself.
With this young man's abnormal abilities, perhaps what others considered a failed breeding method might not be a challenge for him?
Yin Luo nodded:
"I don't have a particularly complete record of Han Qiong's method, but the Third Army in the North Border Legion definitely does. Wait here, and I'll get it for you."
Master Yin was a man of action.
He immediately took out his phone and called the Third Army's leader in charge of this aspect.
Before Li Feng, who was beside him, could hesitate about whether to speak to Su Ping, who seemed deep in thought, Yin Luo quickly approached with his phone:
"They've sent it over. Take a look!"
After receiving Master Yin's phone, Su Ping looked at the screen and soon had the North Border Legion's failed breeding evolution method completely in front of him.
Currently, Su Ping was slightly nervous because he hadn't unlocked the Eye Demon's codex, and he wasn't sure if the Universal Spirit Codex would work or if he had to wait until the codex was unlocked for it to take effect.
Just as he was feeling a bit tense, after he had read the evolution method and was pondering, the Universal Spirit Codex was indeed awakened:
【Discovered the special evolution path for the 'Eye Demon' codex: Annihilating Eye.】
【The 'Annihilating Eye' evolution path is incomplete, and the Eye Demon codex is not unlocked. Unlock the codex to complete and repair the evolution path!】
Just as expected.
Su Ping wasn't surprised, but he was slightly taken aback because
the name of this Eye Demon's evolution seemed different from what Master Yin had mentioned.
It wasn't the Annihilation Eye Demon but something called the Annihilating Eye. Su Ping blinked, pondering the difference.
