The dark green herbal soup entered the ape’s body. At first, there was no reaction from the Demon Ape leader.

After three to five minutes, its body temperature gradually rose while its face quickly turned red.

A layer of green light suddenly lit up from its left chest and then spread to the surrounding area, dyeing the surrounding bones and hair with strange colours.

The Demon Ape leader felt a warmth in its chest, which felt very comfortable. It could not help but close its right eye to feel the changes in its body.

About half an hour later, the green light slowly dissipated.

The Demon Ape leader opened its eyes and raised its arm to touch its left chest, its face full of surprise.

At this moment, it looked better as compared to its pale and sickly appearance earlier. Although its every move was still a little stiff and unnatural, it no longer looked like an oil lamp in which the oil was exhausted. There was a qualitative change.

“How do you feel? Do you feel much better?” Bai Wushang smiled.

“Roar Roar ~ ~” the Demon Ape leader immediately patted its chest and made a fist gesture. The expression on its face quickly changed from shock to surprise, and the gaze it looked at Bai Wushang had a hint of curiosity and respect.

“Heh… as long as it’s effective. To heal your heart, your own ‘Rapid Healing’ ability will be activated. Coupled with some herbs, the rest of your injuries will start to recover soon…”

Bai Wushang blinked his eyes and fixed his gaze on the attribute panel of the Demon Ape leader.

“Mortal Bone Level, 8 Stars… Extreme Species…”

Putting aside all other information, Bai Wushang was most concerned about these two pieces of information.

Previously, he had been busy with treatment. Even if he saw it, he did not have the time to think.

Now that the Demon Ape leader’s injuries had temporarily stabilized, Bai Wushang finally had the mood to think about it.

“The higher the bloodline quality, it means that within the same level of life, the total ability points possessed by transcendent creatures are greater… this Demon Ape is the same as Milky Way, the bloodline quality… is too high. Although it should be a good thing, as a Master, I should at least understand my pet beast, right?”

“… Milky Way is a mutated species, so no matter how the quality increases or decreases, I can understand it. After all, mutation is a very mysterious thing, but what the hell is this extreme species? It doesn’t seem to have anything to do with mutation, but I have heard of excellent species, defective species…”

Bai Wushang observed the Demon Ape while his brain spun rapidly, “I remember the old gentleman from the Mu Family saying that bloodline quality can be divided into two proper terms, one is ‘Stage Quality’, and the other is ‘Biological Quality’.”

“‘Stage Quality’ refers to the fact that there is an ‘average range’ for the bloodline quality of transcendent creatures in every stage of their life. For example, for the ‘infant body’, the average range of the bloodline quality is from Mortal Bone Level, 1 star to Mortal Bone Level, 7 stars. There are a total of seven small grades.”

“If there is a phenomenon where the bloodline quality is higher than the average range, this type of creature is called ‘Superior Quality’. It usually means that within a large stage, it has a higher ability limit.”

“From this point of view, I am really lucky. The only two pet beasts under me are both superior quality… could it be that I am also the Chosen One?” As he thought about it, Bai Wushang suddenly laughed, the Demon Ape leader who was at the side gave a puzzled look.

Sitting next to the Demon Ape leader, Bai Wushang continued to think while applying medicine to its wound:

“If ‘Stage Quality’ defines the bloodline quality in terms of the overall situation, then ‘Biological Quality’ narrows down the scope and analyzes it from the concept of race.”

“The so-and-so beast that the Masters often talk about is XX Quality, and the ‘XX Quality’ here actually refers to the race’s ‘Standard Bloodline Quality’.”

“For example, if 99 of the 100 youth form Swift Wind Sword Wolves are Mortal Bone level, 6 stars, then the Swift Wind Sword Wolves’ race bloodline quality standard is Mortal Bone level, 6 stars.”

“However, a large amount of scientific research has proven that, without considering mutations, there are still differences among different individuals of the same race, and there will be strong or weak individuals.”

“This difference is partly due to innate causes, and partly due to the successful breeding of the Master, which has promoted the pet beast’s bloodline.”

“In principle, the range of the difference can only fluctuate one star above or below the standard value. Take the youth form of the Swift Wind Sword Wolf, Mortal Bone level, 7 stars as an example, because as an individual, it is stronger than the standard, scholars will call it an ‘excellent species’.”

“On the other hand, if you encounter the youth form Swift Wing Sword Wolf, Mortal Bone level, 5 stars, it will be a ‘defective species’. You can simply understand it as a developmental defect, and its ability has a flaw.”

Bai Wushang lightly tapped his forehead, revealing a hint of confusion, “The Demon Ape’s standard bloodline quality should be Mortal Bone level, 6 stars… This Demon Ape leader has surpassed two stars… the Eye of Perception has defined it as an ‘extreme species’. Could this be a title higher than ‘excellent species’?”

“… If we’re talking about being different, the Demon Ape leader has a lot of skills. I’ve never heard of any youth form being able to master more than two-digit skills without the development of a Master… This kind of comprehension ability is extraordinary!”

“Also, the Demon Ape leader has been ambushed and seriously injured, yet it still fought with the Swift Wind Sword Wolf King for a long time. This kind of powerful battle instinct might be the speciality of being an ‘extreme species’?”

“Roar?”

The leader of the Demon Apes stretched out a finger and gently pushed Bai Wushang’s shoulder, showing doubt and worry.

Bai Wushang smiled and stopped thinking about it. He patted its back and said, “It’s okay. I was just thinking that you seem to be more mysterious than I thought. Please take care of me in the future.”

As he said that, Bai Wushang paused for a moment. Suddenly, his eyes lit up and he shouted, “Oh right! It doesn’t seem convenient to call you Ape boss all the time. Why don’t I give you a name?”

“This name isn’t something to be given randomly. It’s something that I just thought of. Ah Zhou, let’s call you Ah Zhou, which also means ‘universe’!”

The eyes of the Demon Ape leader moved slightly as it listened attentively.

Bai Wushang explained, “Look, you and the universe are both primarily black. Furthermore, you are equally deep, mysterious and powerful. This suits your temperament very well.”

“Then, I also have a pet beast companion called ‘Milky Way’. It is a very cute little rabbit. I will introduce it to you later.”

“In this way, I have one universe and one Milky Way. Doesn’t that sound like a good match? I hope that the two of you can become very good friends. Take care of each other and watch out for each other…”
