The Complete Green Lion King
He first adjusted the appearance of the Green Lion King.
The original Golden Lion Beast was more yellow, but Su Mu adjusted the color of its mane and scales to a bluish-black, making it closer to the blue-faced, fanged appearance of the Azure Lion in the original story.
[Soul Power -60]
After making the adjustments, Su Mu glanced at the Green Lion King's stats.
[Name: Green Lion King]
[Rank: SS]
[Level: 15]
[Blood: 2016000/2016000]
[Attack: 170400/170400]
[Defense: 103200]
[Agility: 29760]
[Combat Index: 1,848,000]
[Skills: Golden Roar, Lion King Charge, Golden Mane Protection, Beast King Pressure, Lion Camel Ridge Pressure, Demonic Lion Devours Heaven (Residual - In Progress)]
[Note: The leader of the three demon kings of Lion Camel Ridge, the Azure Lion. Currently in a fully embedded state. Affected by the South Heaven Gate anchor point, currently at a double S-rank.]
Health increased from 1.68 million to 2.016 million, attack increased from 142,000 to 170,400, defense increased from 86,000 to 103,200, and agility increased from 24,800 to 29,760.
The combat index rose from 1.54 million to 1.848 million.
It increased by about 20%.
Su Mu nodded in satisfaction, then set aside only ten points of his remaining Soul Power and directed the rest towards the Black-Crowned Golden Eagle Card he had obtained from Elder Xiu.
The Black-Crowned Golden Eagle transformed into a dark golden streak of light and shot into Lion Camel Ridge.
It landed on a sloping peak on the east side of Lion Camel Ridge, its form coalescing from the flowing light.
A massive golden eagle with a wingspan exceeding ten meters appeared in mid-air, its black crest feathers fluttering slightly in the wind, its golden plumage gleaming with a metallic sheen. Its vertical pupils were sharp and cold as it scanned the Lion Camel Ridge below.
Little Drill Wind became alert almost immediately. It sprang up from beside the mountain pass stone tablet, drew its short sword, and its dark blue scales surged with demonic energy. Its slender eyes were fixed on the golden eagle in the sky.
On the main peak of Lion Camel Ridge, the Green Lion King suddenly stood up.
A fierce glint flashed in its dark red vertical pupils, and the eerie green demonic flames on its mane suddenly surged upwards, unleashing a dense demonic aura that pressed down on the golden eagle in the sky.
Not to be outdone, the golden eagle spread its wings, its golden feathers gleaming with a sharp light, and let out a piercing cry.
The two demonic energies collided in mid-air, causing the air to tremble.
Su Mu immediately issued the command through the Soul Link: "Stop."
The Green Lion King paused for a moment, then slowly withdrew its demonic aura. It lowered its head, its dark red vertical pupils glancing in the direction of Su Mu in the sky, before returning to its throne on the main peak, its gaze still fixed on the golden eagle.
After the golden eagles had completely landed, Su Mu said in a deep voice, "This demon is named the Golden-Winged Great Peng King."
The moment the words left his mouth, the Black-Crowned Golden Eagle shuddered.
A dark golden light burst forth from its body, and the golden feathers became even deeper and darker in the light, each one like refined iron that had been repeatedly tempered.
The black crest feathers turned dark gold, and ancient patterns emerged on the skull. The wings spread, the wingspan expanding from ten meters to fifteen meters, and the feathers at the wingtips were as sharp as blades.
Its vertical pupils changed from gold to dark red, with eerie green flames burning deep within them. Its claws changed from gold to dark gold, the tips gleaming with a cold light.
Its body rose from the side peak, circled in the air, and then landed on the cliff on the east side of Lion Camel Ridge, folding its wings like a statue.
Su Mu looked at its panel.
[Name: Golden-Winged Great Peng King (Semi-embedded, 1/5 scale)]
[Rank: S]
[Level: 1]
[Blood: 126000/126000]
[Attack: 15400/15400]
[Defense: 5600]
[Agility: 12600]
[Combat Index: 173600]
[Skills: Sky-Rending Claw, Golden Feather Storm, Soaring Through the Nine Heavens, Peng Strikes the Vast Sky, Peng Screeches Across the Nine Heavens (Emits a terrifying roar, dealing 2.0x damage to all enemies within range and reducing their defense by 20% for 10 seconds)]
[Note: One of the three demon kings of Lion Camel Ridge, the Golden-Winged Great Peng. Currently in a semi-embedded state, only one-fifth of its base attributes can be utilized.]
It's an S-rank item, but its attributes are suppressed, only one-fifth of their original value.
Even with its attributes suppressed, its combat index is still 173,600.
This data is comparable to the base stats of a level 15 Little Drill Wind without the Lion Camel Ridge buff.
Su Mu analyzed it.
There was no rank increase whatsoever, even though it was originally an S-rank card.
However, the attributes have indeed increased significantly.
This is the boost brought by the Journey to the West theme. However, starting at S-level is still stronger than the previous Green Lion King starting at A-level.
It's unclear whether it's because the Golden-Winged Great Peng King is slightly stronger than the Green Lion King, or because the South Heaven Gate was modified, and the Green Lion King, a demon king, was added here, making the original anchor point even stronger.
Regardless, an S-rank is already extremely strong. Keep in mind that its current stats are comparable to those of a 3S-rank Little Drill Wind before its enhancements.
At that moment, the Green Lion King was frowning, his gaze fixed on that direction.
It clearly doesn't know the specifics.
Su Mu transmitted a thought to it through the Soul Link: "It will all descend in about a few days."
The Green Lion King paused for a moment, then seemed to breathe a sigh of relief and resumed his previous majestic demeanor.
After doing all this, Su Mu went back to sleep.
