Akhal-Teke!
That's right!
The horse Wang Zhen created had been modeled after the Akhal-Teke. As for why he had chosen this breed as the template, it could only be called a matter of sentiment.
After all, the Akhal-Teke had another, more widely known name: the Blood-Sweating Horse.
As a Blood-Sweating Horse praised since ancient times, it held a certain sentimental value for Wang Zhen as well. Moreover, this breed was indeed elegant and beautifully proportioned, especially when running, when its beauty was elevated to the utmost extreme.
This time, Wang Zhen had used the Akhal-Teke as the core template, supplemented by Divine Machine Hundred Refinements, the Five-Horse Pagoda Lock from the Grain Mountain Scripture, dragon-beast flesh and blood, and other raw materials, forging a powerful horse through alchemy. Though it possessed the outward appearance of an Akhal-Teke, it was entirely different within. It was a sub-dragon beast that was half biological creature, half magical artifact.
In terms of speed, carrying capacity, strength, endurance, and every other aspect, it far surpassed ordinary horses. It could be said that this monster, faintly covered in fine dragon scales beneath its horsehide, was the one most worthy of those extravagant names for divine steeds found in myths and storybook novels!
Names such as Ten Thousand Miles of Smoky Clouds, One-Character Black-Horned Mangy Qilin, Red-Charcoal Fire Dragon Steed, Golden-Maned Yellow Wind Beast, Night-Illuminating Jade Lion, Scarlet-Blood Red Cloud Beast, Lightning White Dragon Steed, One-Horned Green-Maned Beast, Nine-Spotted Peach Blossom Beast, Thunder-Calling Leopard, Silver-Spotted Mottled Leopard, Sun-Reflecting Tiger-Head Steed, Divine Wind Ancient Moon Steed, Yellow-Fat Bone-Piercing Dragon, and Moon-Embracing Black Dragon Steed—only these could possibly compare to this unknown creature that alchemy and other techniques had created out of thin air.
After creating it, Wang Zhen thought for a while, then activated the Transmutation Circle again
