Chapter 347: Black Tiger Great Demon! Profession Advancement!

TL: YYang

Zhao Pinghuai, somewhat slow on the uptake, glanced at Chen Bai. Only then did he realize what had just happened. He let out a long breath and, after feeling the changes in his body, nodded excitedly.

“Yes!”

In the next moment, Zhao Pinghuai actively displayed his full attribute list.

Chen Bai ignored Zhao Pinghuai’s attributes, which, while pitiful compared to his own, were already quite remarkable compared to other Evolvers. Instead, he focused his gaze on the massive changes in both Zhao Pinghuai’s profession and bloodline.

[Bloodline: Black Tiger Great Demon Bloodline (S-Rank)]

[Black Tiger Great Demon Bloodline: A mighty being among the demon clan, known as Great Demons. The demon clan, born of the essence of all things, consumes flesh and possesses extraordinary abilities, such as absorbing the essence of the sun and moon. The Black Tiger is the monarch of all mountains, a king among demons!]

[Bloodline Effects: All intimidation effects +100%! Additionally, immunity to many intimidation-type skills! Agility and strength dynamically increase permanently by (Level × 10) points!]

[Bloodline Skills: King of Beasts, Ghostly Retainers, Tiger King True Form, Flesh Feast, Inner Core Technique]

[King of Beasts: Activates an aura that reduces the abilities of all mutant beasts, with a certain chance to command wild mutant beasts.]

[Ghostly Retainers: Upon killing any living creature, their soul can be controlled for use for up to 15 days.]

[Tiger King True Form: Actively transforms into the true form of a Black Tiger, significantly enhancing attributes for 5 minutes.]

[Flesh Feast: While in Tiger King True Form, devouring flesh greatly restores injuries and boosts strength.]

[Inner Core Technique: Enhances the inner core by consuming flesh, increasing level, and achieving breakthroughs through slaughter. Each breakthrough further strengthens the bloodline.]

“Phew!”

Chen Bai and Song Ziqiong both inhaled sharply as they studied Zhao Pinghuai’s newly acquired abilities. Even Chen Bai couldn’t help but marvel.

The strength of this demon clan bloodline far surpassed Chen Bai’s expectations!

Not to mention the sheer number of skills—it was absurdly higher than his SSS-Rank Demon Bloodline or Devil Bloodline.

Particularly his Demon Bloodline, despite its SSS-Rank, had only granted a single transformation skill?!

Sure, his transformation ability doubled his base attributes and enhanced various resistances, elemental resistance, Demon Wings, and spiritual resistance, among other powers. But when comparing the number of skills, the disparity was glaring.

Moreover, this bloodline had the potential for further advancement! It could grow stronger through its own abilities!

The so-called Inner Core Technique was extraordinarily unique!

Chen Bai turned his attention to Zhao Pinghuai’s profession changes. Sure enough, there were subtle yet significant differences!

At first glance, Chen Bai was stunned.

[Gene Warrior (A-Rank): Gene type: ‘Black Tiger.’ Upon leveling up, gains +10 to Agility and Strength attributes, +8 to Constitution, and +8 Free Attribute Points per level!]

The former B-Rank profession had directly advanced to A-Rank after merging with this bloodline!

A-Rank professions were already extremely rare and top-tier.

Chen Bai recalled that the first time he had killed the Biochemical Giant from the Furnace Secret Realm Dungeon, the Biochemical Giant’s profession had only been A-Rank.

However, the Gene Warrior profession could be widely replicated!

With access to gene potions and the corresponding training manual, anyone could transfer to become a Gene Warrior.

Now, by merging it with the demon clan bloodline, the profession tier had risen even further!

If, after the second profession transfer and completing the corresponding tasks, Zhao Pinghuai worked hard, there was even a possibility of breaking through to an S-Rank profession.

This advancement could bring about a qualitative leap in the strength of the Evolvers in White Emperor City.

More importantly, this would establish a systematic path for development in White Emperor City!

This structure would inspire greater loyalty among the Evolvers of White Emperor City. With such a clear and achievable progression system, it would undoubtedly ignite even greater enthusiasm and determination within all Evolvers!

Chen Bai glanced again and saw that, sure enough, after Zhao Pinghuai’s Gene Warrior profession merged with the demon clan bloodline and advanced to A-Rank, both his profession authority and skills had significantly strengthened.

It was a truly authentic, powerful A-Rank profession!

Not only Chen Bai but even Song Ziqiong was left dumbfounded. She stared at Zhao Pinghuai in disbelief before turning her hopeful gaze to Chen Bai.

The meaning was clear.

Chen Bai, however, ignored her and instead smiled at Zhao Pinghuai, who was still overwhelmed by the transformation.

“Well done! You’ve been lucky, and your abilities are even better than I expected. This advancement is remarkable! As I thought, the demon clan bloodline can merge with the Gene Warrior profession. Go and familiarize yourself with your new powers! Oh, and take this.”

Chen Bai retrieved a B-Rank soft armor from his backpack. At this stage, even in White Emperor City, few Evolvers possessed such equipment.

“My lord, obtaining a bloodline was already more than enough…”

Zhao Pinghuai hesitated as he looked at the Serpentine Protection soft armor in his hands and tried to refuse it.

Chen Bai interrupted, “Take it. I promised this earlier. Your bloodline awakening has been of great help to me. This is what you deserve!”

Song Ziqiong chimed in, “When Lord Bai gives you something, take it. Fight hard for White Emperor City. In this apocalypse, you’ll become far stronger than ever before!”

“Yes!”

Thrilled, Zhao Pinghuai hugged the Serpentine Protection soft armor and hurried off, eager to test his new abilities on some zombies.

He couldn’t wait to show those other guys just how powerful he had become!

Meanwhile, Song Ziqiong kept her gaze firmly on Chen Bai, who casually pulled her into his arms. Looking at the darkening sky and the faint villa district lights, he asked, “Have you told them I’m back?”

Song Ziqiong stayed silent, prompting Chen Bai to smile.

“All right, bloodlines aren’t something to rush. The demon clan bloodline is far too unpredictable and doesn’t suit you anyway.”

Hearing his reassurance, Song Ziqiong finally relaxed, leaning softly into Chen Bai’s embrace as he carried her into the now lively central villa.
