Chapter 85: Chapter 71: Counting the Troops, the Lord Attacks

"Blood Roar, you’re quite impressive."

Shen Xing complimented him, then said gravely, "Next, I’ll promote you to Boss Level."

This was something he had promised him before.

Once Blood Roar reached Full Level, he would let him gain Boss Level Potential, just like Hellish Roar.

"Thank you, Boss! I can’t wait!" Blood Roar said excitedly, gripping his war axe.

Under Blood Roar’s expectant gaze, Shen Xing opened the Talent Interface.

[Do you wish to use ’Sacrificial Evolution’ to elevate the territory’s Beastman ’Blood Roar’ to Boss ★?]

[Note: This evolution requires the sacrifice of 100 Agility.]

...

Shen Xing clicked ’Confirm’ without hesitation, and a ball of red light descended upon the tall Beastman.

In the light, the excitement on Blood Roar’s face instantly vanished, replaced by a mask of agony.

"SQUELCH! RIP!"

The sound of tearing flesh echoed.

Veins bulged under his Green skin, and his blood vessels stood out as his entire skeleton seemed to restructure itself.

Like Hellish Roar, he was enduring the pain of breaking through the limits of his Soldier Type.

But in just a few moments, Blood Roar adapted.

He could even be heard roaring with excitement.

"ROAR! BRING IT ON! BRING IT ON!"

"You think a little pain like this can take me down? Never!"

The beastman got to his feet, shouting all the while.

He let his wounds tear open, fresh blood covering his entire body until he was drenched in it.

A moment later, a system notification flashed before his eyes.

[Evolution successful! Your soldier ’Blood Roar’ has successfully broken his limits. His Potential has advanced to Boss ★!]

[This evolution grants: All Attributes +30%, Agility Attribute +100!]

[Class: Wolf Cavalry → Wolf Rider General]

[Talent Ability unlocked: Bloodthirsty Instinct]

[Skill unlocked: Blood Hunt]

...

’Holy cow, he unlocked another Talent?!’

Shen Xing was amazed.

After all, even Hellish Roar only unlocked two Skills when he evolved to a Boss.

Counting his [Burning Blood], Blood Roar now had two exclusive Talents of his own.

Full of anticipation, Shen Xing looked at the details of the two newly unlocked abilities.

[Bloodthirsty Instinct (Blood Roar’s Exclusive Talent Ability)]

[Talent Effect: As he continuously loses blood, Blood Roar enters an excited State, greatly increasing his Attack Power and Attack Speed.

The lower his health, the greater the boost, up to a maximum of 200%!

He can also sacrifice 30% of his own blood to make all allied Beastmen enter a "Bloodthirsty Rage" State, increasing their Attack Speed and movement speed by 30%. All attacks gain a ’Vampiric Effect’.

Duration: 50 seconds. Cooldown: 30 minutes.]

(Note: The power of blood is intoxicating!)

...

[Blood Hunt]

[Skill Effect: Applies a "Blood Mark" to a single enemy. For the next 30 seconds, damage dealt to it is increased by 25%, pursuit speed is increased by 50%, and all attacks gain a 100% Vampiric Effect.

Cooldown: 5 minutes.]

[Additional Effect: Blood Roar can remember the taste of an enemy’s blood to track them over extremely long distances.]

(Note: I smell... the scent of blood!)

...

’These two abilities... they’re insane. I love it!’

Excitement flashed in Shen Xing’s eyes.

[Blood Hunt] drastically increased Blood Roar’s burst damage against a single enemy, and it even came with a tracking function.

[Bloodthirsty Instinct] made him stronger the longer he fought and could even cause the combat power of all his Beastmen to skyrocket.

’And there’s Hellish Roar’s Talent Ability, Tribe’s Soul,’ Shen Xing analyzed, ’which seems to increase the Level of all Beastmen by one.’

’With their two Talents combined, even a freshly recruited, trash-tier Beastman Infantry would have enough combat power to rival some Three-Star Soldier Types.’

’According to the forums, a special unit that can unlock a unique Talent and buff its entire race is enough to cause a qualitative leap in a Soldier Type’s combat power.’

’But my territory has produced two of them, both from the same race.’

’The odds of that are more ridiculous than winning the lottery in your sleep.’

’Oh wait, I think I actually have. Never mind then.’

...

Just then, Blood Roar, his evolution complete, strode toward Shen Xing.

His physical form had undergone a massive transformation.

His height shot up to two meters, his skin changed from its original dark Green to a deep crimson, and thick blood vessels snaked beneath his skin like earthworms.

The red marking between his eyebrows grew brighter, eventually taking on the shape of a war axe.

"Boss, I feel full of Power!"

Blood Roar clenched his fists, his eyes filled with fervor and loyalty.

"You have done well."

Shen Xing didn’t hold back his praise. "Now, go and get used to your new power."

"Yes, Boss!"

Blood Roar nodded gravely and turned to leave.

Then, Shen Xing checked his attribute panel.

[Wolf Rider General: Blood Roar]

[Level: Level 9]

[Potential: Boss]

[Detailed Attributes: Click to view]

...

’256 Agility. That’s a little less than Hellish Roar, but he’s already twice as fast as other Soldier Types of the same rank,’ Shen Xing analyzed.

’Besides, Hellish Roar fused with the Blood of an Inferior Demon, so his base Attributes are already 30% higher than other Soldier Types!’

Shen Xing closed the attribute panel and waved to the Bald Beastman sitting on a large boulder in the distance.

"Lord, what are your orders?"

Hellish Roar—lanky yet powerfully built, with circles of Blue tattoos covering his upper body—strode over and respectfully bowed his large, bald head.

Shen Xing nodded slightly and asked, "What do you think of Blood Roar?"

Hellish Roar glanced at the imposing figure of Blood Roar in the distance and said in a low voice, "He... is very strong."

"Very strong. And?"

"His combat Talent is not inferior to mine."

A grave expression appeared on Hellish Roar’s face, quickly replaced by a surge of intense confidence. "However, I will become even stronger than him. I will be the most powerful Beastman in history!"
