The Strange Cat from Fuuto

"Swish, swish, swish..."

As the vines moved, Ao Jiao's body underwent a tremendous change.

His clothes vanished instantly, his skin turned bright red, and the muscles beneath his skin swelled and bulged under the influence of the power of Helheim.

Internal organs such as the heart, liver, spleen, lungs, and kidneys also become stronger and more powerful under the influence of this force, and may even no longer be human tissues.

With cracking sounds, his bones continuously crumbled and regenerated, becoming as hard as diamonds, even surpassing them in some aspects.

Vines slithered across Ao Jiao's skin, intertwining and merging to form thick armor. His brain was also strengthened and altered by the power of Helheim.

With a red glow flowing in its eyes, Ao Jiao roared and forcefully pulled its arms outward.

"Oh!"

He broke free from all the vines and light, revealing his evolved form.

His entire body was covered in red armor with gold lines running across it, and two curved horns on his helmet pointed towards the sky.

The leather skirt with red flame patterns draped down the outer thighs.

Miku examined the evolved Aojiao and chuckled, "This is going to be interesting!"

"However, we need to give them a little more pointers so that things will be easier to handle later."

As Miku looked at Ao Jiao, he secretly pondered his own affairs. At the same time, he noticed that Ao Jiao in front of him was very different from Lord Baron in his memory.

In the original story, after Aojiao's left hand was cut by jade, it evolved to have a horn-shaped dark yellow arm guard on its left arm.

But the Ao Jiao in front of him not only had it on his left arm, but also on his right arm. Not only that, Ao Jiao also had several marks on his chest armor. If Miku was not mistaken, these marks belonged to the various Fimsim who had planted the poison in him.

The crimson unicorn mark, the Vermilion Bird's feather mark, Ah Niu's ox horn mark, the Black Tortoise's tortoise shell mark, and the old goat's horn mark.

They are arranged one by one in a certain order.

"Looks like we've created something amazing!"

Miku, stroking the fangs on his chin, looked thoughtful. He felt it was necessary to test Aojiao's strength.

Thanks to the influence of this butterfly, Ao Jiao's life trajectory is now quite different from before.

In the original story, he evolved after eating one fruit. Now, he has eaten no less than thirty fruits and even devoured a banana lockseed to complete his evolution.

"Could it be that DJ Xiang Le also made a move? I alone wouldn't have been able to cause the changes in Ao Jiao."

Miku didn't believe that Aojiao could do that on his own. He could have just eaten one fruit, but he swallowed the banana seed instead.

The cat, its eyes gleaming, thought for a moment, then turned and disappeared into the cave. It had something to ask DJ Xiang Le.

As for testing Ao Jiao's strength, there's no rush. Let the kid gloat for a few days first, and then we'll give him a good beating.

"Is this the power of Helheim, the power to destroy the old world and create a new one?" After evolving, Ao Jiao's mind gained many new insights, which helped him understand the power of Helheim.

As Ao Jiao examined his new appearance, he suddenly clenched his fist and burst into laughter: "I have finally obtained the power of Helheim!"

"Hahahahaha..."

Chapter 71: The Arrogant Banana Tree in Education, the Rebellious Forest!

In Sawame City, there is an abandoned DJ radio station.

Ripples spread across the void, and a stream of data flowed out from the void, piling up to form a figure.

"Isn't it here?"

Miku clicked his tongue as he looked around. He usually didn't want to see DJ Xiang Le, but he always appeared on his own. Now that he wanted to find him, he couldn't see him at all.

"He's always acting mysteriously, I wonder where he's off gallivanting off to!"

As Miku turned around, muttering to himself, he saw DJ Sangaku grinning. DJ Sangaku patted Miku on the shoulder and sat down in his chair: "It's not good to talk bad about people behind their backs!"

"Talking behind someone's back?" Miku tilted his head and sneered, "Are you worthy?"

"I'm cursing you to your face, what do you dare say?"

"As expected of the overlord, his personality is as domineering as ever!" DJ Xiang Le spun around in his chair, his words carrying a hint of ambiguity.

"Alright, stop praising me in a veiled way. I'm here to ask you something."

"Something wrong?" DJ Sagara asked after a moment of confusion, then suddenly laughed, "It's about that kid, Kaito Kyoumen, isn't it!"

"That's right. What exactly did you do back in the Warring States period?"

"I know a bit about what you've been doing, and now you're asking me if I think things are getting a little out of control?"

"The situation is out of your control?" Miku scoffed dismissively. "The Demon-Slaying Fighter is just a toy I use to pass the time. You really underestimate me!"

With Miku's cold snort, the fiery cross behind him loomed in and out of sight, and an aura of domineering, ruthless, cruel, and cold-bloodedness permeated the broadcasting room.

DJ Xiang Le's expression changed upon sensing this aura, but he quickly returned to normal.

Damn it, what kind of power does this cat possess?

He's always using this to scare people; if that little guy, Kouta Kazuha, wants to win, his chances are really slim!

However, I am just a witness, and besides, this battle for the fruits is indeed interesting!

"I can tell you what happened back then, but why don't you go and see for yourself? Sometimes, witnessing things firsthand can be quite surprising."

DJ Xiang Le raised an eyebrow meaningfully, and then vanished from the broadcasting room in the next second.

"All you do is play tricks and deceive people all day long. You truly are a slippery and cunning snake!"

Miku pursed his lips, and his body faded away from the broadcasting room.

Near the Old Goat's Cave in the Forest of Heim's Underworld.

"Boom!"

A dull echo stirred up a gust of wind as Aojiao and Zhenhongquan clashed fist to fist, creating tiny cracks in the air as their fists collided.

"what!!!"

With a roar, Ao Jiao exerted its strength again, taking a step forward and sending Zhen Hong flying.

"boom!"

As Zhen Hong slammed into the rock wall, she slid down the wall. Ao Jiao looked at his fist and felt very excited. He had been tortured by Zhen Hong for so long, but now he could finally get his revenge.

Inside the grotto, a cloud of dust fell from the ceiling and, unfortunately, drifted into the old goat's stove.

The old goat glared and spat out a breath of fire, causing the hammer that was about to strike the felt to change direction and strike the air instead.

"Buzz!"

With a buzzing sound, a phantom image of a large hammer flew rapidly towards the cave entrance. Although the speed was slow, it quickly arrived in front of Ao Jiao.

Seeing this, Ao Jiao snorted coldly and raised his hand to strike the hammer, but the next second he was knocked to the ground by the hammer.

"If you want to fight, go somewhere else. You're delaying my business, so I'll throw you into the furnace!"

The old goat's warning came from inside the cave. Ao Jiao slammed the hammer off his body, snorted coldly, and stood up to walk into the cave.

Zhen Hong quickly stopped her: "Don't be silly, don't be silly, we can't afford to mess with this old guy. If we really fight, he'll smash you into a pulp!"

After saying that, Zhenhong called out to the old goat in the cave, "Okay, we won't bother you anymore. We'll be going now and come back later!"

"roll!"

"They're gone, they're gone, they're gone!"

After coaxing and arguing with Ao Jiao to leave, Zhen Hong led him to the cave where she usually lived.

Looking at Aojiao dressed in red, Zhenhong was filled with mixed emotions. Besides taking a liking to him, she had also been following Baiya's orders when she took him as her disciple.

Unexpectedly, in just a few months, this guy has become one of my own kind.

That's right, we're from the same clan!

Ao Jiao evolved by inoculating the body of the Fimsims descendants. According to the evolutionary chain, Ao Jiao and Fimsims are very similar at this time and can be regarded as the same race.

Thinking of this, Zhen Hong sighed: "Kid, don't mess with that old goat anymore. He's a senior, and he hasn't made a move in many years. If you provoke him rashly, you'll get a really bad beating."

Is he very strong?

"This isn't about strength; it's about the fact that our clan only has a few members left. We can't afford internal strife anymore. If we continue fighting amongst ourselves, Fimsim will truly become history!"

"Us?" Ao Jiao asked in confusion, "Fimsim?"

“Yes, you evolved from the toxins of us. In terms of the evolutionary chain, you are our kin.” Zhenhong looked at Aojiao and said, “And you are also able to compete for that.”

“Let’s train hard together, you two. I’ll help you get used to your strength so you can compete for the Golden Fruit.”

"The Golden Fruit?" Ao Jiao suddenly became excited: "Can I go and fight for it?"

“You are now qualified, but…” At this point, Shinku sighed and did not continue.

Are golden fruits so easy to fight over?

If we lose, it means death!

"Take a good rest. I'll take you to see the king later. It's been many years since any of our kind have appeared. He'll surely be happy."

"All right!"

The next day, Zhen Hong, who was taking Ao Jiao to the throne room, told Ao Jiao many things to pay attention to on the way.

But when they arrived at the throne room, they found that Bai Ya was not there. Instead, a dark red armored knight sat on the throne, watching the two of them with a leisurely air.

"If you're looking for Bai Ya, he's not here right now."

"I didn't expect to see you here." Shinku bowed respectfully, but Miku waved his hand and said, "Alright, enough of that!"

"I've been waiting for you all for so long, especially you!"

Miku, pointing at Aojiao, curled his lips: "I wonder how much your strength has improved."

"Well, never mind. Let me see for myself your current power, which I've been eagerly anticipating."

Miku, sword and shield in hand, rose from his throne. Seeing this, Shinku had no choice but to step back, but her eyes kept glancing at Ao-Jiao.

You'd better be careful around this one!

If you accidentally get killed, that would be terrible!
