Chapter 500: Chapter 500: Grandmaster Demon Beast_1
Xu Fan pushed open the door and entered the nearby room, where Ben Ben lay inside, its fur soaked in blood that dyed it an eye-piercing red, with two shocking blood holes on its abdomen and back.
Despite the simple bandaging to stop the bleeding, the holes were too big to staunch the blood flow, hence blood had pooled all over the floor, some of which had already started to coagulate, turning a dark red-purple.
Ben Ben lay there weakly, extremely feeble; aside from its small body slightly heaving with each breath, it seemed it couldn’t muster the strength to move on its own anymore.
Each breath it took appeared incredibly difficult and painful.
“Woo… Woo…”
Ben Ben’s eyes were fixed on the door, and when it saw Xu Fan enter, it slowly blinked, thinking it was an illusion. Its mouth opened slightly, letting out a faint, feeble sound.
It tried to lift its head, but as soon as it left the support of the ground, it fell back down with a light plop, its eyelids drooping, too heavy to want to open again.
Seeing this, Xu Fan couldn’t help but feel a pang of heartache, and a cold killing intent involuntarily radiated from his body, a flash of murderous intent sweeping through his eyes.
From the moment Ben Ben accepted him as its owner, it had always been loyally devoted, taking great care of Tongtong—Xu Fan had seen all of this.
This time, Ben Ben had fought desperately to protect its master, heedless of its own death, throwing itself into the fray without a second thought.
The more miserable Ben Ben’s condition was, the stronger the rage and killing intent grew in Xu Fan’s heart.
Fortunately, he hadn’t let Tongtong come along, or else seeing Ben Ben at death’s door would probably have left her in tears.
“Sigh… It hurts me just to look at this.”

Lu Chenbing leaned against the doorframe, looking distressed, even afraid to look at Ben Ben, he sighed, “Ben Ben really is a good dog. If you could save it, that would be wonderful.”
Although Xu Fan’s medical skills could be described as bringing the dying back to life, that was with humans, and Ben Ben was a dog. As for whether Xu Fan could save it, Lu Chenbing was still uncertain.
“Brother Chen Bing, don’t worry, Ben Ben is my pet, and I will not stand by and watch it die.”
Xu Fan spoke with unwavering certainty and then crouched down beside Ben Ben, using his Divine Sense to assess Ben Ben’s injuries.
After a while, Xu Fan had a plan in mind. He extended both hands over Ben Ben, palms facing down, and began to channel Spiritual Energy into Ben Ben.
The most severe injuries on Ben Ben were those two blood holes that ran from its abdomen to its back, which, in addition to damaging its internal organs, had also caused severe blood loss.
Luckily, Ben Ben had taken Spiritual Medicine, so its body had become very robust; otherwise, it would have likely died on the spot.
About fifteen minutes later, under the nourishment and care of Xu Fan’s Spiritual Energy, Ben Ben’s injuries had mostly healed, and its breathing gradually became stable.
However, because of those two blood holes and its broken hind legs, these were severe physical injuries, and Xu Fan’s mere infusion of Spiritual Energy was not enough to completely heal it.
After all, “injuries to the muscles and bones take a hundred days to heal,” so it would need a long period of recuperation.
“Woof! Woof woof woof…”
Feeling much better, Ben Ben’s eyes regained their vitality, its tail wagged, and it gently barked a few times in thanks.
Xu Fan couldn’t help but smile and said, “Ben Ben, you did very well this time. Now let me help you further.”
After speaking, Xu Fan formed his left hand into a sword gesture, pointing at Ben Ben, while raising his right hand above his head, palm facing the sky.
“Descend!”
Xu Fan pronounced the word as he exhaled.
Immediately, a nebulous starlight swirled around his right hand, astonishing Lu Chenbing to the point he had no clue what Xu Fan was intending to do, but he could clearly sense a sudden surge of energy filling the room.
This energy was the power of the stars, channeled by Xu Fan’s use of the Chaos Genesis Technique.
The Chaos Genesis Technique, a profound art acquired from the ancient and distant ruins of the Celestial Demon Battlefield, enabled the body to absorb the essence of the sun, moon, and stars to achieve enhancement.
Xu Fan was now transforming this cosmic power so that it was no longer volatile, thus allowing the severely injured Ben Ben to withstand it.
As this force entered its body, Ben Ben seemed to be struck by electricity, its body shuddering and then stiffening into rigidity, as it let out low, “owh, owh” growls.
The power of the stars was too wild and violent, so even after the transformation, it was enough for Ben Ben to endure.
Lu Chenbing watched with his mouth agape in astonishment, somewhat puzzled.
But before long, Ben Ben’s body underwent drastic changes, swelling at times and shrinking at others, and his body was still emitting a bright red glow.
Then, those two somewhat fuzzy wounds began to heal slowly under Lu Chenbing’s watchful eyes.
“This…”
Lu Chenbing, suspecting his eyes were deceiving him, rubbed them vigorously, and after confirming it was not an illusion, his expression was filled with shock.
Ancient Martial Artists actually have this kind of life-saving ability!
It’s too magical!
Not even a minute later, all the wounds on Ben Ben had healed and the fractures were as good as new, as if everything that had happened before was false.
This wasn’t at death’s door, but clearly full of vigor.
Seeing it hopping around energetically, it was likely that the numerous internal injuries, like those on the outside, had all healed, and Ben Ben seemed even stronger.
“Roar!”
Ben Ben stood up, lowering his head and letting out a deep and powerful roar, the sound filled with wild beastliness, starkly different from its goofy appearance, as if it had transformed into a fierce ancient beast.
And this was just the beginning.
The sound from inside Ben Ben’s body was like a string of firecrackers being lit, making a series of crisp crackling noises, and its overall aura began to climb continuously.
Ben Ben involuntarily closed its eyes, putting all its effort into maintaining the current state.
It understood that Xu Fan had indeed given it a huge gift.
It took nearly twenty minutes for Ben Ben’s transformation to come to an end. Although its body hadn’t changed much in size, it was more lithe and robust.
A more proportionate body, thicker limbs, sharper fangs… and greater combat power.
After pondering its current state for quite some time, when Ben Ben finally opened its eyes, a brilliant light burst forth, and it actively exuded a powerful aura from its entire body.
Having been exposed to such auras a lot recently, Lu Chenbing knew what it meant: Ben Ben had also become a Martial Arts Grandmaster.
“I’ve lived for so long, and not to mention seeing a grandmaster-level demonic beast, I’ve never even seen a demonic beast before, but now I’ve witnessed one ascend to grandmaster.”
Lu Chenbing stared at Ben Ben, struck dumb with amazement.
It was said that at the same level, demonic beasts could easily kill an Ancient Martial Artist with their naturally strong bodies.
What was more incredible were those special demonic beasts which could unleash innate divine powers, making their combat strength even more terrifying.
Thus, although Ben Ben was newly ascended to grandmaster, its increase in strength wasn’t too noticeable yet, but once its realm was consolidated, it would likely surpass the majority of grandmasters and become an unmatched adversary.
The only regret was that although Ben Ben had successfully advanced, it hadn’t awakened any innate talents.
Well, considering that Ben Ben was still in its juvenile phase, it wasn’t fair to expect too much from it.
Xu Fan slowly ended his technique, his expression also relaxed, no longer tense.
“Elder Xu, there’s something I’d like to discuss with you.”
As he looked at the lively Ben Ben, Lu Chenbing’s affection surged, as he too was fond of dogs.
Xu Fan nodded, indicating with his eyes for him to continue.
Lu Chenbing, clearly envious of Ben Ben’s current state, said with a smile, “Actually, our War Wolf Squad has been assigned three police dogs, which you must have seen. Elder Xu, as the squad’s instructor, you’ve raised the team members’ physical fitness and strength, but these three police dogs are still the same as before. This is the squad’s shortfall, pulling down the overall strength of the team, which I believe you can’t tolerate, right?”
“Brother Lu, you really know how to aim big, huh.”
