Starting from the top again, was her title of [calamity beast], she had gained that after gaining the bloodline skill [devour], which Alex had given her. It was the classic 'whats yours is mine' skill that alowed her to steal the abilities, skills, bloodlines, traits, statuses, ect of what ever she ate. Which apparently was 'taboo' and 'forbiden by heaven' or some shit.
Hence why she had the status [watched by heaven], which was basicly the same as [blessed by heaven] exept it caused her to experiance more tribulations, and as such, gain greater talent whenever she passed them.
Next up, her bloodline. True blood jade snake of calamity, the 'of calamity' came from, her title, while the 'ture blood jade imogi' part was the evolution of her old 'emerald serpent' bloodline.
She had reached body forging stage 2, which gave her some nice state increases.
Next up, traits. [Envenomed fangs], [true bloodline purification] and [true bloodline evolution] where just upgradeds. [Mind link] alowed nuwa to telepathically talk to him. [Gem of wisdom] came from her evolution and gave her greater intelligence and the ability to cultivate, Alex was still customising as cultivation method for her.
[Fully formed soul] gave her greater intelligence and spirit stat growth, [embryonic beast core] was an all round power and potential boost that also increased her chances of getting in to core formation. [Dragonic potential] gave her a chance at becoming a flood dragon in the future. And finnaly she was [blessed by the earth]
For statuses, [being nurtured by sub-world] reached rank two along with [beast taming] and [watched by the heavens] had all ready been explained.
Now onto bloodline abilities, [custome scale growth] was the upgraded version of [crystalline scales growth], [blood drain], [blood storage], [blood crystallisation,] and [blood manipulation] where all self explanatory, she gained them after her evolution. And [devour] had already been explained.
Finnaly their was alex's new title [owner of the calamity beast], this title was compleatly broken. While nuwas [beast of calamity] gave her immense increases to potential, cultivation speed, acsess to hidden beast cultivation states, stat growth, and more. Alex's title [owner of the calamity beast] gave him access to all of nuwas abilities. sure that didn't sound like much, untill you rememberd the bloodline ability he gave her.
This meant that alongside all thr skills she would get on her own, whenever she ate something, she would get all its abilities, bloodlines, skills ect. Alex woukd also gain them.
Opponent has the ability to instantly regenerate? Nuwa eats them, she can now instantly regenerate. Alex gets her abilities, he can also instantly regenerate. He was very happy when he got this.
Curently he was in a carriage on his way to the purple dawn sect to participate in the entrance exam alongside his other siblings.
On his lap was the sleeping nuwa, who looked like a green tree python, but with gorgeous ruby scales and a white marking on her head, with two small black horns. she was about as long as alex's entire arm and as wide as his fist, but this was her compact from, when a beast entered the bidy forging stage their body grows at a incredible rate, with most being the size of towering buildings by the end.
Of course these forms where unwieldy and basicly just made them a bigger target, so most compacted their form down to a more reasonable size. This wasent displayed on her screen as it was a trait that all beast's had, it wasent like Alex had a 'breathing' skill, or 'walking' skill. Only more advanced applications, such as a movement technique or his [breath of life] would be displayed. Nuwa was curently in her smallest form.
In the carnage next to him was davin, who was watching thr sleeping snake with suspicion. Alex had 'found' nuwa one day in the garden, and said that she 'liked him for some reason', and after a while of convincing his family she was safe, he was alowed to keep her. Of course most people where suspicious, after all, why was their a random 3rd stage blood refining beast in their back yard? And why was is fine with Alex but hostile to every one else? Oh, she was also about to hide her rank thank to the sub world blessing.
"So, Alex. How has your cultivation progressed?"
Looking over to his brother while petting nuwa's soft scales, Alex said "I've reached 60% blood refining, but that 30% bottle neck is difficult. On the bright side, I've opend my 5th meridian, and can absorbe 65% pure qi, so I should be able to open my 9th meridian and enter qi absorbing within the next 6 months. How have you progressed, older brother?
Smiling davin said "i managed to form my 3rd qi strand, alowing me to enter qi absorbing stage 3, and I've refined my marrow to 75%, I only have my ribs, sternum, and shoulders to refine. But they are rather tricky due to their position and size. I also made some minor progression in my [swaying grass] movement technique. I should be able to enter greater mastery before the year is over."
"Impressive, to be able to enter greater mastery in a rank 3 mortal technique in just 3 years is amazing."
Laughing davin said "says the 4 year old about to enter a level 3 sect, and has opend 5 meridians in just 6 months. All the while undergoing body cultivation, and even still having time to enjoy hobbies. Honestly, the head advisor is right in a way. Your talent isn't monstrous, it's demonic."
Cringing a little Alex replied "please don't say that. If that old coot heard you agreeing with him he would use it as reason for yet another check up. Honestly, I've memorised the entire prosess and can do it myself at this point. I half expected for him to sabotage one of the tests and use it to banish me. I have no clue why he hates me so much."
Looking out the window to make sure no guards where near by, davin whispered "I have some gossip from the maids, apparently the head advisor had been courting mother before father found her and was enamoured with her beauty. He was fine with me because I was a gifted child, and mother was still good friend s with him after my birth.
But apparently as she became pregnant with you, she talked to him less and less, and so the head advisor became jealous, and then your talent was shown, and he began to take his anger out on you. Which only became worse after mother died with out brother to be."
Judgingly looking towards his older brother Alex said "you realy need to stop listening to all thay gossip."
Laughing again davin said "but it's so interesting!"
Sighing Alex just closed his eyes and though 'can you beleave this idiot? All he does is trein, fight, and listen to gossip. He is one catchphrase away from being a classic protagonist.'
Alex felt soemthing touch his mind and In his head a soft female voice responded 'he can not even tell when a partner makes advances on him. I have seen at least three maids offer themselves openly, and he simply rejected them. It is astounding how a person can be so intelligent in the ways of combat, but so stupid in the ways of courtship.'
'Hey, it's not like yoy can judge. You didn't even know the difrence between me patting you, and me 'seeking courtship' before you evolved.'
The voice, flustered, responded with 'its not my fault you kept 'petting' me! And why do you love my scales so much!? You even play with my horns once! That's a no touch zone!'
'Hey. It's not my fault your scales are so smooth and soft. And don't lie, I know you like it, every time I've asked if you wanted me to stop you said no. And as for the horns, how was I supposed to know their a no touch zone? I'm not a snake. We've had this conversation a hundred times.'
'I-im going to sleep.'
Smiling Alex decided to enjoy the view outside the carriage as he decided he was going to make a movement technique.
