Chapter 320: Blood Evolution!

Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio
Thinking of the Blood Drug he had concocted before, he couldn’t confirm if there would be a relationship between it and the Blood Eye Bearded Vulture.
Their names were similar enough that there was a chance. Anyhow, there was no way to tell until the vulture finished evolving.
Master Liu saw Gao Peng take out a slab of rock before pouring some kind of concoction onto it.
The color of the rock shimmered and shifted from ash-white to an ever darkening shade of green that ranged from chartreuse to dark forest green, the color deep and rich.
Master Liu had no idea what Gao Peng was up to. Maybe there was something special about this rock? Could it have been a vessel of sorts?
After tinkering with it for another 30 minutes, Gao Peng carefully picked up the rock and held it in front of the vulture. “Swallow it.”
Master Liu looked extremely confused.
Without a sound, the vulture swallowed the Flesh Enhancing Tablet in a single gulp.
Its iron stomach could even digest steel. A small slab of rock like that might as well have been a block of tofu.
There were quite a few ways the vulture could have evolved, but Gao Peng had selected the Blood Evolution path for no other reason than the fact that he only had the materials required for that path…
Other than a few necessary ingredients, he would still need at least a hundred tons of fresh meat, the higher the level, the better.
Erring on the side of caution, he had prepared over 200 tons of Commander-tier meat, fresh from the slaughterhouse that afternoon. There were quite a few large Commander-tier creatures, so even though 200 tons may have sounded like a lot, it was probably ten to twenty creatures at most.
The Blood Eye Bearded Vulture’s eyes flew open. There was a burning sensation in its guts, as though it had swallowed a ball of fire. It felt… exhilarated?
It felt like it could do a thousand single wing push-ups and go on a six-mile sprint with weights on its back.
Thunk!
The vulture sank to its knees, propping itself up on its wings. Even in a moment of weakness, it had to look good. Lifting its trembling wings, it laboriously smoothed down a few stray feathers on its head.
The pain was now causing it to draw breaths in ragged gasps. It felt like it was going to explode as agony lanced through every fiber of its being.
This wasn’t the ordinary soreness after a long workout; it was a whole new level of pain. It left the vulture writhing in agony, its eyes bloodshot and strands of drool dripping off its beak.
Even though it was extremely painful, the vulture could also feel an unexpected wave of pleasure at the same time.
This strange feeling lasted close to 30 minutes before it finally receded.
Before the vulture even had time to process the events, it was wracked with intense pangs of hunger and an all-consuming desire to devour everything in sight.
Without being prompted, it started tossing slabs of meat into its mouth. Since this was too slow for its liking, it dove headfirst into the pile of meat, ferociously ripping out huge chunks and inhaling them like air.
Blood smeared across its face as it continued working through the mountain of meat, devouring it with blinding speed until it was all gone.
Two hundred tons of meat was rapidly digested by its powerful stomach, and the nutrients were absorbed just like that. That would explain why it was in a constant state of hunger—it would stay that way until it ate something it was unable to digest.
After finishing all the meat, the vulture could feel its bones and muscles tingle and itch, as though they were being tickled by a feather.
The vulture’s muscles could be seen growing and expanding explosively.
A row of data labeled [Evolution Successful] flashed before Gao Peng’s eyes.

Now that the vulture had finally reached a higher level, it meant that the vulture had smashed past its previous limits and was now capable of growing even more.
Nonetheless, Gao Peng thought that this self-imposed limit was only temporary. Even without his help, it would only be a matter of time until the vulture overcame it.
For a creature who trained as hard as the vulture, there was no such thing as limits.
Of his familiars, only Goldie was equal to the vulture when it came to work ethic. Da Zi and the rest couldn’t even be considered. It was too bad they had never learned to work hard the way he did.
Gao Peng also recalled that a non-Epic creature could rarely develop a special ability, and those that did had a pre-existing unique talent, like the Water Bear Worm.
Its Blood Enhancing Stomach would allow it to absorb the monstrous amounts of energy it needed to evolve. That, combined with its insane work ethic, would allow it to maximize its ability.
Now, the vulture finally had all the tools it needed. The rest was up to it.
The vulture could feel an incredible wave of energy surging through its body. It had never felt this way before, not even with its maniacal training. All it had taken was 200 tons of meat?
The Blood Eye Bearded Vulture was ecstatic.
Turning around to face Gao Peng, it swept a wing across its chest and lowered its head in a stately bow, a gentleman’s thank you.
The thing was…
It looked rather terrifying with flecks of blood and bone marrow still smeared across its face.
As the vulture grew stronger, so did Master Liu, both spiritually and physically.
“It worked.” The smile on Master Liu’s face could have brightened the entire city.
