Monster Master: Evidence of the Way

Chapter 220: Transformation from a Pupa to a Butterfly

Time passed minute by minute, and Huaying's movements on the bed became weaker and weaker.

Long Kui had no choice but to pray that Yi Yin would return soon and bring some exciting good news.

Every memory of her past with Huaying kept flooding Longkui's mind. Granted, even though she was the master, Huaying had often acted bossy and bossed her around.

In truth, he didn't really care. Back in Storybrooke, he'd often had his food snatched away. Equality and inequality existed objectively. Some people could live on Pearl Jade White Jade Soup and Yellow Spring Water, while others could only survive on chicken. Long Kui didn't see anything wrong with that.

What really worried Long Kui was that he could sense that Huaying's vitality was fading...

Long Kui has not yet clearly realized the connection between life and death. Neither Principal Merian nor Mentor Dirk have told him this.

However, when Long Kui saw his former companions falling one by one, and saw his brother Yu Duzhen calmly making arrangements for his funeral, he suddenly became enlightened.

Long Kui is actually very timid, he doesn't want to see anyone die anymore. Long Kui is also very selfish, he knows he should follow what Utoshin said and shine in Ludan on his behalf...but he ran away.

Long Kui knew he was just a clone, a thin barrier between him and the people around him. It was Hua Ying's appearance that made him feel that he was not alone.

It can be said that the jacaranda has become his weak point.

Huaying's constant twitching reminded Long Kui of Utoshin. Not everyone could face death with equanimity, least of all Long Kui himself. That was why he had chosen to come to the Cross Base, searching for a way to eradicate the withering syndrome.

The more Long Kui thought about it, the more she couldn't stop thinking about it. The more she thought about it, the more she felt she was useless.

Long Kui clasped his hands together and continued to pray silently. He prayed that Hua Ying would recover quickly, even if it meant sacrificing his own life.

"bang"

At this moment, Long Kui's dormitory door was kicked open, which scared him, and then he felt an unexpected ecstasy.

Yiyin is back!

Long Kui had always held Yi Yin in high esteem, not only because of her heroic deeds in Storybrooke and Alderaan, but also because she had given her special training. Without her, she would never have become a Monster Master candidate, let alone met Hua Ying.

"Yes. Xuanwu-senpai, that's the patient."

Yiyin pointed at Huaying who was lying on the bed.

"Sister Xuanwu! That's great. Please save Huaying. She has been like this for almost a day."

Long Kui begged Xuanwu. She acknowledged Xuanwu's strength, and believed that he should be at least stronger than hers.

"You know me too?"

Xuanwu felt as if everyone knew him, but he didn't know them.

But this is not important. What is important is how to help the patients.

Xuanwu took a closer look, trying to find something from the pile of rotten flesh that was constantly wriggling.

Xuanwu's medical skills hadn't deteriorated, which was a blessing in disguise. Just like an executioner, even if he forgot how to eat, he never forgot how to wield a knife. This was because the skill was already ingrained in him.

"..."

Xuanwu carefully examined Huaying for a while, then spoke:

"Who is the owner of this monster?"

"it's me."

Long Kui hurried over and asked, "Sister Xuanwu, what happened?"

"It's nothing serious. I just want to tell you that your monster has probably entered its 'growth phase'."

A long period of rapid development?

Now not only Long Kui, but even Yi Yin was confused.

What is a long-term growth spurt?

Xuanwu patiently explained, "A 'growth spurt' refers to a period of rapid growth that occurs in some monsters. As the name suggests, monsters in this period experience rapid growth, but the accompanying growing pains are also very severe. This monster is a rare example of a monster undergoing a drastic growth spurt."

"Just like a bug goes through the process of cocooning and transforming into a butterfly, this type of monster is usually accompanied by a long period of weeping blood, but it is usually not life-threatening. After the explanation of the 'surge period', the monster's strength will also be correspondingly improved. May I ask, what level is your monster?"

Long Kui hesitated and replied sheepishly, "Hana Ying was originally a D-rank, but was promoted to A-rank in a battle not long ago."

"That's it..."

Xuanwu pondered for a moment, as if considering the cause and effect of the whole incident.

"That makes sense. The huge change from D-rank to A-rank is not something a normal monster can easily adapt to. The gradual increase in strength should be a gradual process. Seeking shortcuts will only backfire."

"But don't worry, I've checked. Your monster is very closely connected to you, so nothing will happen. But to be on the safe side, you'd better put your monster into the monster card and don't summon her during this period. Once the 'growth period' is over, she will be able to fully control her own power and return to normal."

After hearing Xuanwu's explanation, Longkui was overjoyed and hurriedly took out the monster card and put Huaying in it.

The monster card showed that Hanahira's health had dropped to 0 points, making her unable to fight.

Fortunately, there have been no courses requiring actual monster combat in the recent period, otherwise Long Kui would have been in a lot of trouble.

After thanking Xuanwu again and again, Long Kui still hesitated and made her own request:

"Sister Xuanwu, I'm very grateful for your help. But... I hope you can promise me not to tell anyone about Huaying's human form. If this matter gets widely spread, Huaying will definitely be captured for research."

"Don't worry, I know what to say and what not to say. In my eyes, monsters are divided into those that need treatment or not, not those that are good or bad."

"Come to think of it, Sister Xuanwu, weren't you unable to speak before? Why now..."

Oops!

Yi Yin finally realized that if Xuanwu realized that she couldn't speak, she would be speechless! By then, it would not be as easy to communicate with her as it is now.

Before Long Kui finished speaking, Yi Yin wanted to cover her mouth to stop her from speaking, but it was too late.

Xuanwu has heard it.

"You said I can't speak?...Ugh...!"

Xuanwu suddenly squatted down. Because of what Longkui said just now, Xuanwu successfully recalled the spiritual connection between himself and Longma.

At the same time, Xuanwu also remembered what happened between her and Longma, and she also remembered her identity and her name.
