Chapter 2164 — A New Name
The Blossom Guardian · Page 1 of 2
Wei Zhao found it rather amusing. This Wind-Thunder Violet-Lightning Beast—all defiance and grievance toward everyone else—had turned meek as a lapdog the moment it stood before General Mighty and the Heavenly Thunder Pig. Truly, one thing always has another to subdue it.
"Broken Dog, think you'll go barking off at random again?" Shen Yushu demanded, hands on her hips, looking at the Wind-Thunder Violet-Lightning Beast with open satisfaction.
"Roooar, roooar..." The Wind-Thunder Violet-Lightning Beast gave a foolish grin, though inwardly it was displeased. The name "Broken Dog" was simply too ugly—couldn't they pick something a little nicer? But it could not speak so as to be understood, and could only look pleadingly at the Heavenly Thunder Pig and General Mighty.
The Heavenly Thunder Pig, however, could understand the Wind-Thunder Violet-Lightning Beast's words. It raised a claw and wrote a few characters in the soil of the courtyard: The name is ugly.
"Ugly, is it..." Shen Yushu had to agree that "Broken Dog" was a bit ugly. She had only called it that on purpose earlier, when it had been strutting about so arrogantly. Now that the Wind-Thunder Violet-Lightning Beast had submitted, Shen Yushu naturally would not hold it against it.
"It is called the Wind-Thunder Violet-Lightning Beast—a bit long. Why not call it Little Wind from now on?" Wei Zhao suggested.
"Little Wind? That's a good name." Shen Yushu nodded, then gave the Wind-Thunder Violet-Lightning Beast a kick. "How about we call you Little Wind—works for you?"
"Roooar, roooar!" The Wind-Thunder Violet-Lightning Beast nodded hurriedly. This name was better than Broken Dog by no one knew how many times over—how could it object? And by now it had also seen clearly: to live here in the future, it would have to keep a low profile and do as told. At the Qianshan Sect it had been the overlord, a spirit beast kept in worship. But here, any spirit beast one called out at random outranked it—it was nothing more than a lowly underling!
Yet this only strengthened the Wind-Thunder Violet-Lightning Beast's resolve to follow Wei Zhao. With its intelligence and discernment, how could it fail to see? That General Mighty was nothing but an ordinary dog, not of ancient spirit-beast blood at all—and yet it had been forced into becoming a "counterfeit ancient spirit beast." If the Wind-Thunder Violet-Lightning Beast still could not recognize Wei Zhao's power, then all its years of living would have been wasted!
All these signs pointed to one thing: Wei Zhao possessed great divine powers. If he could turn an ordinary dog into an ancient spirit beast, then helping it level up would be effortless. And back in the cage at the trial grounds, the Wind-Thunder Violet-Lightning Beast had already come to feel this deeply!
"Arrow-Brand Brother, this Little Wind looks kind of dumb—so big and not a bit of fun. Not nearly as cute as General Mighty and the Heavenly Thunder Pig!" Shen Yushu glanced at the Wind-Thunder Violet-Lightning Beast with some distaste.
"Roooar, roooar, roooar..." The Wind-Thunder Violet-Lightning Beast hastened to defend itself.
The Heavenly Thunder Pig translated on the ground: It says that once it levels up to the early Earth rank, it can change the size of its body at will!
Wei Zhao looked at the characters on the ground, somewhat surprised. The Wind-Thunder Violet-Lightning Beast had such an ability? Yet Wei Zhao had no intention of helping it level up right now. After all, this was a spirit beast he had only just taken in; he had to observe its conduct for a time, to see whether it truly submitted.
Just like that lion back then—docile enough on the surface, yet always harboring ulterior motives. Wei Zhao had never helped it raise its strength. And this Wind-Thunder Violet-Lightning Beast, too, he meant to test. After all, this creature had already betrayed the Qianshan Sect once—could it betray him, Wei Zhao, a second time?
