72: Chapter 72 Evolution, Nine-Tailed Nether Cat

She had originally thought he was just a powerful human parvenu, but she never expected his quality of life to be a hundred times more luxurious than that of the Blood Clan who had inherited their legacy for hundreds of years.

At this moment, in the main hall on the first floor of the train, Su Chen was sitting upright on a wide leather sofa, playing with the bottle of [Ancient Bloodline Awakening Potion] that flowed like molten gold.

This potion reflected a mesmerizing dark golden light under the dim lamps; just a trace of the scent leaking out from the uncorked bottle caused the free energy in the surrounding air to boil violently.

Su Chen's deep gaze slowly swept over everyone, finally coming to a steady rest on the Demi-human assassin who had been standing quietly in the shadows like a ghost.

“Anye, come here.”

Su Chen's low and magnetic voice echoed clearly in the silent carriage.

Hearing her master's summons, Anye's graceful and voluptuous figure instantly emerged from the shadows, and the pair of fluffy black cat ears on her head twitched sensitively.

Stepping with silent footfalls, like a well-behaved and docile little wildcat, she approached Su Chen with extreme lightness. Then, without hesitation, she knelt on one knee and lowered her beautiful face deeply.

“Master, Anye is at your disposal at any time.”

In Anye's husky and seductive voice, there was an unreserved absolute loyalty that had already reached its maximum limit.

In this cruel wasteland world, as a Demi-human rejected by both humans and monsters, Anye's past life had been filled with endless pursuit and darkness.

It was this man before her, like a god descending to earth, who had forcibly dragged her up from the abyss of hell, giving her supreme glory, top-tier equipment, and an absolutely safe home.

For Anye, Su Chen was the only light in her life, the supreme deity to whom she was willing to pledge her soul and body in death-defying loyalty.

“Open your mouth.”

Su Chen didn't say any unnecessary nonsense; his unquestionable and domineering tone made it impossible for anyone to even think of resisting.

Without even asking a question, Anye tilted her head back with extreme obedience and opened her red lips, which were as vibrant and dripping as rose petals.

Su Chen's well-defined hand tilted slightly, pouring the priceless [Ancient Bloodline Awakening Potion]—enough to make all players in the entire East China Region fight to the death—into Anye's mouth without leaving a single drop.

The dark golden liquid, as hot as lava, slowly slid down Anye's long, fair swan-like neck and instantly surged into her limbs and bones.

“Go back and have a good sleep; prepare to welcome your rebirth.”

Su Chen casually threw the empty crystal test tube into the trash can and reached out to gently rub Anye's fluffy cat ears, a smile of anticipation showing in his eyes.

Anye felt as if a violent ancient fire had been ignited within her; that bloodline power, so massive it was suffocating, was frantically tearing apart and reorganizing every cell in her body.

Enduring the excruciating pain that felt like ten thousand ants devouring her heart, she gave Su Chen a deep look filled with gratitude and fanaticism, then turned into an afterimage and stumbled back to her private bedroom.

As night fell, the light of the Scarlet Blood Moon was perfectly blocked out by the heavy armor and isolation coating of the [abyss roarer].

The train was traveling smoothly at high speed across the desolate and flat wasteland plains, emitting a reassuring mechanical roar.

Just when everyone thought tonight would be a peaceful night, a husky low growl filled with endless pain and wildness suddenly came muffled from behind Anye's bedroom door.

That sound didn't seem like something a human could make; instead, it was more like an ancient beast trapped in a cage, undergoing a life-and-death transformation.

Su Chen, who was reviewing the East China Region Combat Power Rankings in the master bedroom, suddenly frowned, and a bolt of lightning-like essence burst from his deep eyes.

His massive mental power, as high as one hundred points, immediately and keenly perceived the terrifying energy fluctuations in Anye's room that were spiraling out of control, almost to the point of bursting the carriage's explosion-proof door.

“Boom!”

Without the slightest hesitation, Su Chen's tall and straight figure instantly turned into a violent lightning afterimage, appearing directly in front of Anye's bedroom door.

Accompanied by a dull, heavy thud, the electronic door made of high-strength alloy was kicked by Su Chen as if it were tofu, flying inward.

As Su Chen strode into the darkness-shrouded bedroom, the incredible scene before him made even this well-traveled and peerless overlord narrow his eyes slightly.

On the soft Persian carpet in the center of the bedroom, Anye was curled up in pain.

Her entire body was now completely encased within a ball of thick, almost solid, eerie black-purple light cocoon.

Countless ancient and mysterious shadow runes flowed across the surface of the cocoon, and every time the light flickered, it tore tiny black spatial cracks in the air.

A silver grade-peak top-tier pressure, enough to cause any low-level player's mind to collapse instantly, was raging wildly in this small space like an uncontrollable storm.

“Hold on; this is a necessary path for bloodline restructuring.”

Su Chen did not intervene; he knew very well that the awakening of such an ancient bloodline could only achieve the most perfect mutation effect by relying on the Demi-human's own tenacious willpower to endure it.

He stood like an immovable guardian god, arms crossed, quietly standing in front of the light cocoon, using his absolutely invincible kingly aura to firmly suppress this violent energy within the bedroom.

Time passed painfully second by second, and the black-purple light cocoon pulsed more and more violently, as if a terrifying creature that had slept for ten thousand years was desperately tearing at its final restraints.

“Crack—!”

Accompanied by a crisp sound like shattering glass, a dazzling dark golden crack suddenly split across the surface of the huge black-purple light cocoon.

Immediately after, countless cracks spread frantically like a spiderweb, and finally, in a deafening energy explosion, the entire cocoon shattered into a sky full of drifting, brilliant points of light.

As the black-purple light blocking the view gradually dissipated, a brand-new, stunning figure that radiated enough beauty to make any man instantly fall into madness slowly stood up from the carpet.

The Anye who appeared before Su Chen had undergone a staggering, earth-shattering transformation.

Her originally somewhat youthful girl's figure had now been completely reshaped by a mysterious power, becoming exceptionally voluptuous and enchanting.

Her slender willow waist, which could be encircled by a single hand, formed a perfect golden ratio with her curves that were exaggerated enough to make one's blood boil, creating a powerful visual impact.

The pair of originally short and cute black cat ears on her head had become longer and sharper, with a touch of seductive dark purple fur on the tips.

In those heterochromatic eyes—one blue and one yellow—there was no longer the coldness of the past; instead, a nether abyss light flowed within them, as if it could suck in a person's soul.

But what made Su Chen feel shocked, even causing his breathing to hitch slightly...

...was that from the bottom of this Demi-human girl's smooth, jade-like back, nine massive tails, as smooth as black silk and hovering ethereally in the air, had grown without any warning!

These nine black fox tails seemed to have independent lives of their own, stretching and swaying willfully behind Anye, emitting a bone-chilling aura of top-tier Void Assassination laws.

[Ding! Congratulations to Train Master no. 0099, your core crew member Anye has successfully and perfectly absorbed the Ancient Bloodline Awakening Potion!]

[Bloodline gene restructuring complete. Anye has successfully evolved into an ancient variant—[Nine-Tailed Nether Cat]!]

[Comprehensive combat power rating has soared, officially breaking through to the peak silver grade-peak realm!]

[Core talent has undergone an ultimate advancement; the original S-rank talent has advanced to an SS-rank Mythical talent—[Void Assassination]!]

Listening to the almost frantic series of announcements from the Heavenly Dao System in his mind, a domineering and extremely satisfied smile finally curled at the corners of Su Chen's mouth.

SS-rank talent!

Peak silver grade-peak realm!

This meant that from this moment on, Anye had completely transformed, becoming the most terrifying and unpredictable shadow death god in this wasteland world!

Anye slowly lowered her head, looking at her now-flawless body and feeling the terrifying power within her—as deep and unfathomable as a vast ocean, enough to destroy heaven and earth.

When she raised her head again and cast those soul-stirring heterochromatic eyes toward Su Chen standing at the door...

...in the beautiful eyes of this newly ascended Nine-Tailed Nether Cat, besides the deep-rooted absolute loyalty of the past, there was an additional trace of uncontrollable, almost burning, fanatical infatuation!

As members of the Demi-human race, the primitive instinct to submit to the strongest and depend on a supreme overlord was engraved in their very bones.

Not to mention, it was the perfect man before her who had personally granted her a new life and pushed her onto the altar of godhood.

A moving blush, like the evening glow, suddenly appeared on Anye's fair and alluring face. She took a deep breath, forcibly suppressing that restless instinct.

“ Thank you, Master, for your life-saving grace.， Dark Night's Life， And everything in the darkness.， Forever and ever, I belong to you alone..”

She knelt on one knee, her nine fluffy black tails spread out submissively on the metal floor, swearing her never-to-be-betrayed loyalty to Su Chen in a nearly pious posture.

Su Chen nodded slightly, his gaze lingering for a moment on this increasingly charming and seductive beauty. Leaving behind the words “Rest early, there's a hard battle to fight tomorrow,” he turned and returned to his master bedroom.

The night grew deeper, and the entire train fell into a quiet slumber, with only the monotonous sound of wheels grinding against the tracks echoing across the wilderness.
