Chapter 13: Awakening Period, Abilities Revealed!
The main task hasn’t been tackled yet!
Mao Mao naturally knew what the urgent matter was and imdiately moved her body off Li Chang’an.
Ever since humans on Canglan Star gained the ability to contract with beast companions, whenever a new beastmaster nurtured their initial beast to the awakening period, Canglan Star, as the mother planet, would provide a special life energy known as “Mother’s Gift.”
This energy deepens the bond between the beastmaster and their beast, significantly increasing the likelihood of the beastmaster gaining abilities from their beast.
This is why, after nurturing the initial beast to the awakening period, the beastmaster can acquire the beast’s abilities.
Since the soul contract is bidirectional, the beast also receives a gift. Beasts with potential below the elite tier will have their potential raised to the elite tier.
Beasts with potential equal to or above the elite tier can choose to enhance one of the following: racial talent, basic physical attributes, or a racial-specific skill.
This has led to higher prices for those beast species whose racial skills or talents greatly benefit humans.
Mao Mao sat obediently to the side while Li Chang’an sat cross-legged, imrsing his mind into the cerebral space.
He continuously stimulated the soul contract imprinted in the beast space with incantation power. Finally, under the activation of a large amount of incantation power, the soul contract began to emit a faint starlight.
Li Chang’an’s consciousness was also drawn into a mysterious space by the starlight.
In this space, Li Chang’an looked around but saw only darkness, nothing else.
Until he looked down and saw a verdant planet continuously enlarging in his view.
The vast, ancient, and vibrant aura filled his thoughts until his vision caught a majestic figure whose face was unclear.
This majestic figure seed to be separated from him by countless ages.
A gentle, benevolent hum reached him, and a fleeting shadow appeared before Li Chang’an, marking the end of his journey.
The scenery of the courtyard returned to his view, followed by a stinging pain throughout his body, which gradually escalated into a storm of agony.
In the next second, Li Chang’an’s fair skin turned as red as if it had been boiled.
Having experienced life and death twice, he miraculously endured this sudden intense pain, feeling his bones undergoing repeated transformations.
It was as if a steamroller was continuously crushing his bones, only for them to be reassembled by so force and then crushed again.
His heart in his chest beat violently, no less intense than during the awakening of the Ancient Dragon’s Heart talent.
Li Chang’an was engulfed in a tsunami of despairing pain, and Mao Mao wasn’t faring much better.
The newly born talent within her body also suffered repeated crushing.
Both were in too much pain to even cry out, lying on the ground gasping for breath, letting fluids flow from their mouths and eyes.
Li Chang’an didn’t know how long it had been when his vacant gaze caught the starlight descending in the night.
Oh, it’s evening.
Then it hit him—it’s evening!
Li Chang’an quickly got up, wiped the drool from the corner of his mouth, and looked around.
He found that Mao Mao had already woken up and was munching on lava jelly.
“How are you, Mao Mao?”
“ow. (Not bad, no one’s ho, they haven’t returned, I was hungry, so I ate first.)”
Li Chang’an: I was asking about your condition…
But Li Chang’an still breathed a sigh of relief and calmly checked the gains from this experience.

Mao Mao’s panel had undergone a dramatic change, starting with the appearance of a new attribute—”Purgatory.”
An attribute never seen before; generally, the Prison Fla Dragon’s attribute is fire-based. Even in Mao Mao’s inherited mories, going back ten generations, this attribute was unheard of.
Finally, according to Mao Mao, it traced back to the lineage starting from the original Prison Fla Dragon and found only fragnts of information about the Purgatory attribute.
Simply put, Mao Mao had reverted to her ancestral roots.
Originally a Ancient Dragon, Mao Mao’s reversion to her ancestral form truly makes one marvel at the wonders of the world.
As for the Purgatory attribute, even Mao Mao didn’t know the specifics, leaving it up to Li Chang’an and her to explore in the future.
The second change was the ergence of a talent ability, which, unexpectedly, was indeed unexpected.
The Prison Fla Dragon has three major talents: Prison Heart, Prison Blood, and Prison Shadow.
But there was no Purgatory Core.
Li Chang’an speculated that the Purgatory Core might be a talent of the original Prison Fla Dragon’s third-generation descendants.
Because Mao Mao felt that this talent had the potential to advance further, perhaps to the unique racial talent of the original Prison Fla Dragon.
The effect of the Purgatory Core is simple: it combines all the advantages of Prison Heart and Prison Blood, along with high resistance and damage reduction.
[Purgatory Core]: Purgatory-type skill power and energy recovery 500%, all attribute resistance and damage reduction 100%, own energy storage limit increased tenfold, any attack has a chance to attach a Crimson Lotus Mark.
(“Crimson Lotus Mark” analysis: Engraves a Crimson Lotus Mark on the enemy, providing vulnerability and healing reduction debuffs.)
Li Chang’an exclaid at its overpowered nature; the damage boost and mark attachnt of Prison Blood, along with the recovery and energy limit increase of Prison Heart, were all elevated to a new level.
And with the noble resistance and damage reduction, the already ridiculously high resistance of the Ancient Dragon was further enhanced.
He could already imagine future opponents’ beasts attacking, only to find they couldn’t even leave a mark on Mao Mao’s scales.
How utterly shocking that would be for them.
As for Mao Mao’s ntion of further advancent, Li Chang’an speculated it might be due to the lack of integration with the final talent, Prison Shadow.
Although it’s a pity, Li Chang’an was still self-aware; awakening the [Purgatory Core] was already a great fortune.
Lastly, there were changes in Mao Mao’s skills.
The proficiency of the [Prison Fla] skill directly reached the proficient level. Mao Mao demonstrated the Prison Fla, which could now curve in mid-air.
The skill [Fla Claw] was transford into [Purgatory Claw] due to the influence of the Purgatory Core, with its tier unchanged but now more suited to Mao Mao.
Similarly, [Fla Spirit Entanglent] was transford into [Scorching Prison Fla Mark] due to the influence of the Purgatory Core, with its tier and proficiency unchanged.
The effect is better than Fla Spirit Entanglent.
[Scorching Prison Fla Mark]: Materializes a special Prison Fla, imprinting it on the Purgatory body in the form of fla marks, enhancing the power of the Prison Fla and body strength.
Added an effect to increase the power of the Prison Fla, and it can also be used in reverse; Mao Mao can continue to disguise herself, and her size can revert to the previous kitten state.
Of course, her weight remains unchanged.
As for the high-tier skill [Crimson Lotus Breath], there’s nothing special about it; it’s just a high-power, wide-range spray of Prison Fla, with an increased chance to attach a Crimson Lotus Mark.
