Chapter 170: Golden Wolf

"Aoow!" A wolf's howl filled with satisfaction resounded, shaking the wilderness.

Just after discussing his recent plans with the big cat, Muria stood on a mountain peak, half of which was overturned, looking down at a bloodied mixed-breed wolf howling upwards! That was an ugly, very unsightly mixed-breed wolf, with dark blue fur mixed with golden fur, many parts of its fur torn, exposing bright red muscles, looking quite pitiful.

"Not bad!" Muria nodded at the sight of the Wolf King, who had overcome the oppression of legendary remnants and made it to the base of the mountain in a pitiful state, showing a bit of promise.

Below, hearing Muria's praise and recognition, the Wolf King lay down and wagged its tail rapidly towards the sky, pleasing its master like a dog.

"What's this?" Troy walked up to Muria, looking down at the mixed-breed Wolf King below, "It has your aura. Are you planning to make it your follower?"

"Right!"

"Why go through this effort?"

"I want to raise a Wolf King and have it command a wolf pack of tens of thousands, to help me search for dragons in this vast wilderness."

"You're having me subdue soul intent level monsters, what do we need this Wolf King for?"

"Those are to maintain high-end combat strength; they're not suitable for roaming around, making too much noise. Truly searching for dragons in the wilderness still relies on this Wolf King and its wolf pack."

"Oh."

"It will be under your command from now on. I'm going into human territories and won't have the energy to manage these."

"Under my command?" Troy glanced at the Wolf King below, whose wounds were beginning to scab, "Only at the first gold order in strength, and it looks like it advanced with your help. Its strength is too weak."

"It won't be weak for long." Muria smiled, extending his left hand, a small sword appearing, then pricked his right index finger.

A drop of pale golden blood emerged, shining brightly under the clear sky, surrounded by fine arcs of electricity, resembling a precious gem.

The youth flicked his finger, and the blood drop flew into the Wolf King's mouth, then his finger healed.

Below, after swallowing the blood drop, the Wolf King howled in fear and pain. Brilliant golden lightning erupted from its belly, enveloping its body in a thin layer of golden dragon flame, and then, a very painful transformation occurred.

Under the dragon flame's burning, the Wolf King's dark blue fur turned to ash in an instant, and the golden fur lasted a bit longer but was also burned away.

At this moment, the Wolf King had no fur left, but it didn't look unsightly because most of its skin was covered in fine golden scales.

"Roar!" The Wolf King couldn't help but lay on the ground, emitting a painful low roar, as the transformation had just begun.

Lightning burst forth, stimulated by Muria's blood, the Wolf King's body slowly swelled, its skeleton rapidly growing stronger, and its muscles growing along with it.

But the speed of the skeleton's expansion seemed to surpass that of the muscles and skin's growth. Thus, a bloody scene occurred, the rapidly growing bones burst through the wolf's skin, revealing stark white bones in many places on the Wolf King's body.

"Pfft!" As blood spurted from the wounds caused by the expanding bones, dyeing the ground beneath it red, the scent of blood filled the air.

"This transformation is too intense." Watching the Wolf King, whose strength was climbing but life force rapidly falling, Troy shook its head, looking at Muria, "Aren't you afraid this drop of blood will burst it?"

"I've been riding it for two months, eroded by my aura for so long, just absorbing a drop of my ordinary blood is no problem, just a bit painful!"

Muria watched the Wolf King, now a bone wolf, with a hint of anticipation, "Don't disappoint me again, grasp this opportunity I've given you for a complete transformation."

The Wolf King's body rapidly grew, from twelve meters to thirteen... fourteen... until fifteen meters.

As its body rapidly grew, its aura also climbed swiftly, from the initial first gold order, quickly to the peak, then breaking through to the second order, and then the third, reaching the peak of the third order, barely stopping before breaking through to the fourth order.

"Aoow!" The eighteen-meter-long bone wolf howled skyward, its body covered in exposed bones, bloodied, looking quite pitiful. Through its ribcage, Muria saw a strong and vigorous heart beating—the Wolf King's skin had been completely burst open, leaving only crimson muscles clinging to the bones, looking fierce and terrifying.

This wolf had merged Muria's drop of blood, advancing to the peak of the third gold order. Thus, the Wolf King's once declining aura, along with its beating heart, began to rise, bursting with vigorous life force.

Its muscles, clinging to the bones, began to grow, slowly covering the exposed bones, transforming from a bone wolf to a blood wolf without fur, looking even more fierce and terrifying.

But the transformation continued, the muscles enveloping its body began to swell, becoming strong and exuding a beauty of strength.

Then, a tough wolf skin grew over the muscles, followed by fine golden scales, a symbol of becoming Muria's follower.

Fine golden scales covered its entire body, and then strands of bright golden fur grew from between the scales. Unlike before, it now sported pure golden fur, no longer a mixed-breed wolf but a majestic, robust golden wolf.

"Looks good!" Watching the Wolf King below, shining like it was sculpted from gold, Muria nodded in satisfaction.

"Master!" The Wolf King lay on the ground, bowing its head to Muria, respectfully uttering two words.

"Good!" Muria nodded, then pointed at Troy, "From today onwards, you follow her, treat her as you would me, understand?"

"Understood!" Looking up at the indifferent cyan tiger eyes above, the Wolf King lowered its head, its dark wolf eyes flashing with a hint of desolation.

The Wolf King could feel the unfathomable strength of its cyan-eyed master and the high and mighty bloodline oppression of a king of beasts. It wasn't on the same level.

Only such beings were born to be admired by countless creatures.

And only such beings could stand beside their master, shoulder to shoulder!
