The Osmanthus Branch, and the Legendary Mystery Reappears

Virtual training space.

Xue Youyou stared intently at the moonstone floating in front of her.

She had high expectations for this exceptionally gifted moonstone.

Since this wild moonstone has reached level 10, I don't need to worry about feeding it myself.

Then let the evolution begin!

"Moonstone, weapon evolution!"

Moonstone did not resist; in its previous life, it had also chosen the evolutionary path of a weapon species.

Xue Youyou's choice was exactly what she wanted.

It had already reached level 10 before being captured by humans. The reason it hadn't evolved was that there was no future for weapon species to train alone in the wild.

They will be forcibly taken and abused by all sorts of bizarre wild pets, and in the end, they will inevitably suffer the tragic fate of being smashed to pieces in a battle.

This fate was unacceptable to Moonstone, who was a divine beast emperor in her previous life.

Unlike newly awakened infants in the wild, it has a complete career plan.

As a weapon, the best destiny is to find a kindred spirit and stay together, gradually evolving into the other's form.

It would be even better if there were a beast tamer, so that it could be resurrected even if it died in battle.

That's why it deliberately allowed itself to be discovered and captured by humans, eventually ending up at the Moon Orchid Alliance pet store owned by Grandma Meng Yanqing.

Waiting for the destined beast tamer.

Now that Xue Youyou had given the evolution command, Yue Shi no longer suppressed itself.

The light of evolution shines.

"boom!"

The snowflake spontaneously transformed back into an exaggeratedly tall nine-meter-tall snow woman, causing the training room floor to rumble.

Then, Yuki-onna obediently knelt down beside Yuki-onna, staring intently at the evolution of the Moonstone.

"This is your future weapon; it's understandable to have expectations, isn't it?"

Seeing the snow woman who had spontaneously appeared, Xue Youyou smiled knowingly.

Companion pets and beast tamers are in perfect harmony.

Even if Xue Youyou didn't say it, Xue Nu could sense that the Moonstone was a weapon that Xue Youyou had prepared for her.

Weapon evolution is a magical process; it can evolve into a shape that suits the user.

Even if both pets are of the same species, their shapes may be quite different.

The Snow Woman reveals her true form so that the Moonstone can evolve into a suitable shape and size.

Under the watchful eyes of Yuki Yuuyu and Yuki-onna.

Starting from the moonstone, more than a dozen thick branches grew out, growing wildly until they finally wove together into the shape of a five-meter-long giant sword.

The white light dissipated.

The sword's wooden blade encases a moonstone core, its tip resembling a newly sprouted cassia branch, exuding a sweet fragrance, while the hilt is entwined with an immortal vine.

If I had to describe it in four words, it would be "classic and antique".

Upon seeing it, Xue Youyou's first reaction was how elegant the sword was.

This is the [Mature Stage, Weapon Type, Osmanthus Branch].

Next is the ultimate technique.

Xue Youyou immediately opened the interface for the ultimate skill of Gui Po Zhi.

Caught off guard, he was blinded by a flash of golden light.

[Legendary Secret Technique: The Immortal Laurel (All non-fatal damage received by the Laurel Branch can be quickly restored with Pet Essence; the swordsman enjoys the same restoration effect)]

How is that possible!

The very first one is a legendary ultimate technique!!!

Xue Youyou stared in disbelief.

He rubbed his eyes in disbelief and then pinched his cheeks hard.

Before my eyes still lies that legendary, gleaming golden path.

This is an event with a probability of only one percent.

It's already amazing that Yuki Onna can get the Legendary Ultimate Skill twice. Yesterday, Yuki Yuuyu was wondering if she had used up all the luck in her life. She didn't expect to see the Legendary Ultimate Skill again so soon.

It was still a one-shot kill.

Even with Xue Youyou's thick skin, she was too embarrassed to call it a reward for the brave.

"Pah! Pah! You shameless bastard, all you do is rely on luck!"

"Slap!" Xue Youyou happily slapped herself.

The most abnormal aspect of the "Laurel Never Dies" technique is that the swordsman also enjoys the same healing effect.

With sufficient nutrients, even severed limbs can regenerate.

Healing Greatsword, the god of forgiveness.

Any hesitation is disrespectful to the dog's luck.

Xue Youyou locked onto the target with lightning speed.

[The laurel branch learns the legendary secret technique: the laurel tree's immortality]

Once the evolved Osmanthus Branch is complete, its interface will be completely refreshed.

【Mature Stage · Weapon Type · Cassia Branch】

[Moonlight Series]

[Level: 10]

[Talent: Taiyin Cleansing Edge (Can continuously absorb moonlight for tempering, permanently increasing attack power)]

【Skill: Osmanthus Fragrance (Purple) (When attacking, it sprinkles "laurel pollen", which reduces the defense of enemies that come into contact with the pollen)】

【Secret Technique: The Immortal Laurel (Legend)】

"what?"

Seeing that Gui Po Zhi had a new purple-quality skill in her skill bar, Xue Youyou was somewhat surprised and uncertain.

It is very rare for pets to learn new skills on their own through evolution; in her memory, it is only possible in a few extreme cases.

No way?

Just as Xue Youyou was having a brainstorming session, Xue Nu couldn't wait to reach out and grasp the hilt of Gui Po Zhi's sword.

Although the five-meter-long Katsura Branch was very heavy, even the floor of the virtual training room could not support its weight, and the entire tip of the sword sank into the ground, the nine-meter-tall Yuki-onna could easily swing it with one hand.

"Splash splash splash—"

The sound of sword blades slicing through the air rang out continuously.

It can be seen that the Snow Woman's own power is fully capable of controlling the Katsura Po-no-Tsurugi.

Seeing this, Xue Youyou decided to put aside the skill for now and gave Xue Nu the instruction: "Try Shattered Moon Essence, and pay attention to coordinating it with the Osmanthus Branch when activating the skill."

"Its powerful secret lies in combining the sharpness of ice energy with the speed of moonlight energy."

Just as she finished explaining the precautions, a clear, ethereal voice echoed in Xue Youyou's mind.

"it is good."

Xue Youyou exclaimed in surprise, "Snow Maiden, is that you speaking?"

Only a very small number of highly intelligent pets can learn human language at maturity.

Our own Yuki-onna is truly a genius!

"Hmm." The snow woman glanced back briefly and gave Xue Youyou a sweet smile.

Then his expression returned to silence. He stared straight ahead, gripped the sword hilt tightly with both hands, and raised it above his head. Snow-white and moon-white energies converged and merged on the cassia branch.

Immediately afterwards, she spread her legs apart, lowered her center of gravity, and after a brief moment of gathering strength, swung her sword downwards.

"Whoosh—!!!"

A sharp whooshing sound suddenly rang out, and a ten-meter-wide crescent-shaped ice blade shot out like lightning.

Its speed was so fast that it could not be captured by the naked eye; one could only see the moon's shadow and ice path outlined by the remaining ice shards in the air.

With the sound of ice crystals cracking, nearly a hundred stone pillars within sight of the training ground were almost simultaneously severed and collapsed to the ground with a crash.

The cut was clean, covered with a layer of frost, and exuded an astonishing chill.

At the same time, the air where the ice blade passed was filled with a strange fragrance of osmanthus.

Staring at the ruins before her, the Snow Woman was dazed, unable to believe that she had done this.

Has she really become this strong?

They haven't even used their full strength yet!

Then, the Snow Woman looked down at the cassia branch in her hand and fell into deep thought.

There was a strange feeling that the cassia branch was guiding her as she swung that sword.

"Well done!" Xue Youyou nodded in satisfaction upon seeing this.

This range and destructive power.

This met her expectations.

Most importantly, the core of the Cassia Branch is actually a moonstone core, and the sword body is entirely woven from immortal vines. Within the range allowed by the main body's pet element, the sword body can be extended or shrunk at will, so there is no need to worry about the Snow Maiden becoming too big after leveling up.

Snowflake's icy eyes flashed with a bloodthirsty light.

The desire to level up is rising! (I mean, to crush newbies!)
