NOVEL FROG Chapter 111: Beast Eyes That Change Color?
Chapter 111: Beast Eyes That Change Color?
The enormous open-air stadium was filled with a roaring crowd, the atmosphere reaching its peak.
The entry of the Sky Demon Blue Flame Beast captivated the entire audience, intensifying the anticipation for the battle in the arena.
While everyone focused on the Sky Demon Blue Flame Beast, Xiao Xingyu noticed something else.
Whether it was Xie Wei'an, Xie Lian, or Xie Zhong sitting high in the judges' seat, their pupil colors changed with the intensity of sunlight!
"Six Jin, the Xie family's eyes..."
"That's called heterochromia, a genetic trait of the Xie clan."
Xiao Xingyu asked, "Is there any difference between heterochromia and ordinary people's pupils?"
"Not much difference, just the color."
After hearing Murong Xinxin's answer, Xiao Xingyu confirmed one thing.
People only know about heterochromia but are unaware of the mysteries behind these special pupils.
Xiao Xingyu activated the Demon God Eye and could see data on the heterochromia.
"These heterochromic eyes don't just change color with sunlight intensity."
"They can also discern enemy movements, predicting attack techniques and angles."
"Strictly speaking, these are beast eyes!"
Xiao Xingyu was greatly shocked, witnessing beast eyes on a human for the first time!
A human body with beast eyes, perfectly fused—what is human, and what is beast?
Xiao Xingyu, meticulous and prone to wild thoughts, recalled the image of Shangguan Lan transforming into a black dragon.
Shangguan Lan hid a pair of dragon eyes; purebred dragons were once a branch of the great beast clans.
Xie Zhong, favored by Shangguan Lan, possessed a special beast eye gene.
Both these "great" figures had ties to "beasts."
Xiao Xingyu frowned, his mind racing but unable to grasp the full picture.
"It seems not only Shangguan Lan, but the Xie family also has close ties to the dragon-slaying battle of the past!"
"With my current strength, it's best not to get too involved with these big figures."
"Being cautious and developing stealthily is the way!"
In the arena, Xiao Xingyu's fighting style was bold and imaginative, but when it came to matters of life and death, he was more cautious than anyone.
When lacking strength, do not be curious about the secrets of significant figures.
Curiosity killed the cat, Xiao Xingyu understood.
"The match begins!"
The referee blew the whistle.
The showdown in the arena officially started.
Murong Yangshuo had no choice—the advantage of the Thunderstorm Gryphon could only last for three minutes, so he had to strike first.
Under the influence of spiritual power, the Thunderstorm Gryphon soared into the sky, wings flapping, diving from high altitude, its body transforming into a lightning spear!
The host shouted, "Murong Yangshuo strikes first, opening with the signature combat skill [Sky Lightning Spear]!"
The lightning spear pierced through the air, illuminating the ground.
Xie Wei'an's face remained expressionless, only signaling the Sky Demon Blue Flame Beast.
The host exclaimed again.
"An incredible scene unfolds!"
"Xie Wei'an didn't even use spiritual power; his intention is..."
"To let the Sky Demon Blue Flame Beast withstand this strike!"
Zzzzz~
The lightning spear struck the back of the Sky Demon Blue Flame Beast, but the current was instantly reduced by two-thirds.
The Thunderstorm Gryphon was exposed, its electrical glow dimming significantly.
Boom!
After the explosion, the smoke cleared.
The audience stared at the center of the arena, all showing expressions of surprise.
The host's jaw dropped as he cheered.
"Incredible, the Sky Demon Blue Flame Beast withstood the Thunderstorm Gryphon's signature combat skill without a scratch!"
On the arena, the Sky Demon Blue Flame Beast stood steadfast, its three heads displaying cruel and excited smiles.
The Thunderstorm Gryphon soared back into the sky, shocked that its proud combat skill caused no damage.
Murong Yangshuo clenched his fists, his face troubled.
"This guy's beast is a monster."
The Sky Demon Blue Flame Beast's talent, called [Sky Demon Gene], is the most prominent feature of all Sky Demon bloodline beasts.
Observers could see a faint ring of light beneath the Sky Demon Blue Flame Beast's feet.
This halo had a diameter of about ten meters.
In this domain, any enemy attack on the Sky Demon Blue Flame Beast would have its attack value reduced by 70%, and movement speed reduced by 70%!
Additionally, the Sky Demon Blue Flame Beast naturally had strong bones, thick fur, and high armor value.
Combining these, it was reasonable to withstand a strike from the Thunderstorm Gryphon without a scratch, but truly ridiculous!
"Wow, the Sky Demon bloodline beast is incredibly tough!"
"A 70% damage reduction, plus super thick armor, opponents of the same level can't harm it!"
Just one round, and the scales of victory clearly tilted.
Murong Yangshuo felt uneasy, cold sweat dripping from his forehead.
Imagine, when your beast attacks with full force, the enemy's beast doesn't even need to dodge, remaining unharmed.
This sense of defeat would instantly drain all confidence, suffocating you!
Murong Yangshuo faced such a dilemma, or rather a dead end.
Below the arena, Xiao Xingyu listened to Murong Xinxin's story.
"At twelve, I awakened my spiritual power."
"Xie Lian also awakened her spiritual power."
"Back then, we were still friends, as our fathers were old acquaintances in the political arena."
Murong Jin was a Grand Admiral of the Dragon Kingdom's Navy, while Xie Zhong was the first military strategist of the Dragon Kingdom.
With such identities, they were old comrades.
Murong Xinxin continued to reminisce.
"That year, our Dragon Kingdom won a great victory, capturing many young beasts with high bloodline quality."
"The Empress commanded us children with awakened spiritual power to select our favorite young beasts to prepare to become beastmasters."
"Xie Lian and I both chose the same young beast."
Xiao Xingyu interjected, "The Bone-winged Bat Beast?"
"That's right."
Murong Xinxin nodded.
"Back then, the Bone-winged Bat Beast was just a one-month-old baby, as small as a lark."
"Since Xie Lian and I both liked it, we had to compete fairly."
"Whomever the Bone-winged Bat Beast chose would be its owner."
Xiao Xingyu laughed, "No doubt, the Bone-winged Bat Beast chose you, and Xie Lian resented you for it?"
"At the time, the Empress and some important figures were present."
"She felt embarrassed by it and bore a grudge, so we rarely saw each other after that."
After hearing the story, Xiao Xingyu turned his gaze to the preparation area on the other side of the arena.
Xie Lian was below, watching Xie Wei'an in the arena.
Though far away, Xiao Xingyu could read Xie Lian's lips.
"Brother, don't hold back. In front of Murong Xinxin, destroy her brother's beast!"
Xiao Xingyu's face darkened, his eyes cold.
"No wonder this family has beast eyes (heterochromia); their nature is as fierce as wild beasts!"
