Chapter 593: The Price for Success (1/2)

Hei Gou's eyes were shining with a golden light, and the amber pupils were cold and unemotional.

There was not even the slightest ripple of emotion to be found upon realizing that a group of experts were seated around him. Instead he moved his head and observed everyone present.

His shape was still the original Celestial Dog shape, but Xue Wei could not help but furrow his brow as he noticed a lot of subtle differences when compared to the original shape that he had displayed before the first mutation.

”Who are you?”

Hei Gou's body quickly transformed into the familiar human shape, but his lips no longer held the perpetual smile, and the happy expression on his face had been wiped out.

Before Xue Wei and the others had the time to answer, Hei Gou asked his second question as he looked at himself with a bit of doubt.

”Who am I? Also, why do you seem familiar?”

These questions were enough to cause Xue Wei and the others a great deal of worry, but they were not rushing to explain to him.

”What is the current rank of your strength?”

The one who took the word first was Bai Tianyi. He looked at Hei Gou with narrowed eyes and observed every little detail that the dog was making, and started forming a theory in his mind.

”I... don't seem to know.”

Hei Gou's already furrowed brows turned even more scrunched up. He was clearly feeling physically well, but his mind seemed to be covered by a mist that was impossible to disperse.

”Would you mind if I were to test your strength?”

Bai Tianyi wanted to check the likelihood of his theory being correct and asked politely. Hei Gou hesitated for a moment, but the strange feeling of familiarity made him nod his head.

Bai Tianyi stepped forward and placed two fingers on the black dog's wrist. A wisp of energy entered Hei Gou's flesh and examined the inside of his body.

”His mutation did not fail. He has succeeded in returning to his original bloodline, but the cost of this success is that his memory has been sealed.

”The biggest problem with the various bloodlines is that prior to Lan's rules that made it impossible to breed across races, everyone would try to do so, but after this became impossible, only one dominant bloodline would prevail.

”This does not mean that the ones mixed in from back then did not exist, but they became weaker and had less influence on the descendants.
