Chapter 196

After the call, Bai Xiaoyu hesitated for a while before deciding to communicate with the eggs again.

However, the eggs had not yet shown any human form, and it was uncertain if they would successfully transform. If it really didn’t work, keeping a few in their original form would be acceptable.

The eggs were stunned by this sudden request. Why couldn’t they appear in their two strongest forms and instead had to use a human form that had no sharp teeth or claws and was full of vulnerabilities?

Moreover, facing the human form, especially the bug cubs in their insect form, the eggs were so disgusted that the two small antennae on their heads curled up.

Thus, the next two days were spent with the cubs practicing transforming into human form. On the third day, which marked the beginning of the last week of the three-month cultivation period, it was finally the hatching period for the eggs.

This time, the eggs chose not to hatch in the middle of the night. Bai Xiaoyu woke up early in the morning and checked all the eggs, with most of the parents having arrived, eagerly watching the eggs.

Bai Xiaoyu started the live stream, and the viewers entered instantly, finding the eggs they were concerned about.

The cubs swarmed towards Bai Xiaoyu as usual, but among them, twelve cubs, after rubbing against him, looked at the parents they had met once before and then at the potential underlings they hadn’t secured. A sense of unease crept over them.

During these two days of practicing the transformation into human form, the dragon and bug clans, in human form, had combined the personality traits of both forms.

So, when Bai Xiaoyu let the cubs move freely and got busy with his tasks, the twenty-three cubs dispersed and subtly surrounded the other eggs.

At this moment, a parent spotted their cub nearby. Unable to contain their excitement for the soon-to-hatch egg, the parent moved forward to touch it, only to be knocked back into the group of parents by a cub.

Sniffing his nose, the parent remembered the situation and backed off.

None of the other parents could get close to their cubs either.

Except for Bai Xiaoyu, who could move freely without any restrictions, even Zhang Yi and Lu Qing, his two assistants, were being cautiously observed.

The viewers in the stream got a kick out of it. These stubborn cubs were trying to hold onto their friends, but in just a few days, they would go their separate ways, and it might be hard to see each other again.

Bai Xiaoyu couldn’t help but smile at the cubs' persistent efforts. After these days of relentless practice, he noticed that the cubs had surrounded the other eggs, standing behind the twelve leader cubs in a fan-like formation.

A slight smile appeared on Bai Xiaoyu's lips, "Well done, cubs."

The others weren’t as perceptive, and their formations were scattered and less noticeable, especially compared to the neat formations of the other cubs.

Moreover, there were barely any conflicts within the fan formation, but friction occurred at the edges of the formation.

Bai Xiaoyu counted and found the distribution to be quite even. Behind the twelve leader cubs, besides their deputies, each had six eggs standing behind them. Except for the twins, which, along with themselves, made seven eggs, the rest formed teams of eight eggs.

Out of a total of one hundred and nine eggs, ninety-five were here.

The remaining eggs were from two teams, automatically forming squads of six eggs each, and there were two rogue eggs.

These twelve cubs had previously shown great interest in the eggs from the two teams, even planning to assign one egg as a target. However, after the first attempt failed, they noticed that the eggs had formed teams on their own. They didn’t give up until the third try, and upon seeing how united the other teams were, they finally acknowledged the existence of these two squads.

In the fan-like formations of the twelve cubs, one position was empty. Upon closer inspection, it became clear that this empty space was very close to the space occupied by the two teams next door.

Bai Xiaoyu’s attention shifted to the two teams of eggs still facing off in the cultivation compartments. As soon as he looked over, the eggs rolled out together, quickly lining up in two neat rows, hopping in perfect unison. They raced to fill the empty spots in the large formation, stopping almost simultaneously.

The viewers in the stream burst out laughing, imagining the cubs’ competitive spirit.

"The eggs from the two teams weren’t like this before their awakening. It seems they’ve learned the essence from their parents during their initiation. They’ve practically become a squad of egg legions."

"The eggs of the two legions are always like this. When warriors begin as eggs, the future of our star system is promising."

Just as the live stream room was filled with laughter, the two eggs that hadn't chosen sides were fighting in the middle and suddenly stopped, quickly hopping over to the two legions' egg formations and standing upright behind them, instantly blending into the two teams.

"Looks like they’ve enlisted!"

"It seems so. The other eggs didn’t reject them. I’ve always wanted to join the Sixteenth and Twenty-ninth Legions. I didn’t expect these two eggs to get a head start."

The parents of the two eggs were also ecstatic, as joining the two legions had been their dream as well. They could hardly contain their excitement and almost wanted to cheer for their promising eggs, shouting in their hearts, "Go, my children, chase your parents' dreams!"

The live stream room became lively again, but what happened next shocked everyone even more.

Seeing the two legions' eggs forming a straight line, the other eggs became restless. To everyone's surprise, the twelve eggs that had been in a fan-shaped formation also tried to form lines, albeit a bit crooked.

However, it was clear that these eggs had now taken positions, forming twelve teams apart from the two legions' teams.

It was then that someone realized each team's eggs were led by a leader egg, whose size was even twice as large as the others and had been the target of their attempts to conquer.

The leading eggs hopped out of formation, heading to the back of their team, bumping into any egg that was either dented or bulging before hopping back to their position, circling their teams a few times before returning.

Everyone's eyes widened at the sight of these neatly aligned egg teams.

Were these eggs being influenced by the two legions' eggs?

Meanwhile, the warriors of the Sixteenth Legion and the Twenty-ninth Legion were also watching the live stream. Even they were momentarily stunned by the scene.

The senior warriors of the old Twelfth Legion, however, let out excited dragon roars.

Major factions were also curious, making all sorts of speculations about these eggs.

Bai Qing narrowed his eyes slightly in thought. These eggs seemed a bit off.

With access to more intelligence, he naturally knew these eggs were strong, perhaps no less than the cubs of those three clans. They fought daily to subdue their subordinates by force. This behavior bore a striking resemblance to the dragon clans.

Thinking of the old Twelfth Legion, he couldn’t help but frown and continued watching.

As the eggs settled down, the leader eggs hopped out of formation again. This time, they even included the two legions. All the leader eggs hopped over to Bai Xiaoyu, who looked rather pleased, and stopped in front of him.

Bai Xiaoyu patted each egg on the shell. "What's up? Do you need something from me?"

He soon noticed that all the eggs had a few transparent mental energy tendrils sprouting from their heads. "All eggs are ready, White Papa. Please give the order. Tell us the hatching sequence for the teams."

Bai Xiaoyu was stunned, looking at the serious eggs. Astonishment flickered in his eyes. He had to decide the hatching order?

He paused and asked, "Can you decide by yourselves?"

The eggs hopped in unison. "Of course we can."

Bai Xiaoyu said, "Then decide by yourselves."

The eggs hopped back, and the next second, all the eggs in the teams started fighting fiercely with determination.

It seemed like whoever won would hatch first.

As the battles escalated, all that could be heard was the sound of eggshells colliding.

Bai Xiaoyu couldn’t help but chuckle. The twelve leader eggs didn’t choose to intervene. At this point, except for the team without a vice-leader whose strength was a bit weaker, the other eleven teams were equally strong.

The two legions fought each other, needing only to defeat their opponents.

The eggs didn’t show a clear winner, and the battles between the two legions had no conclusive outcome. However, the twelve newly formed egg squads, under the observation of their respective leaders, jumped in unison to the front, informing everyone of the hatching order without any visible communication.

Bai Xiaoyu looked at the order and realized it matched the sequence of the old Twelfth Legion.

It looked like it was based on strength, but maybe not entirely. Bai Xiaoyu wasn’t sure and asked, "Should we wait for the eggs of both legions?"

The small purple Blood Fury Tyrant Dragon egg’s translucent tendrils wobbled a bit. "They aren’t under our control; it’s up to you."

Amused by how much the egg knew, Bai Xiaoyu gently patted its shell. "Then we’ll wait until they finish fighting. You can proceed with the hatching in two teams together."

Immediately, two teams of eight eggs each stepped forward, jumping to the hatching area. Transparent energy shields formed around the eggs.

The two lead eggs began to show signs of hatching almost immediately, followed by the deputy leader eggs, and then the rest of the eggs in each team started hatching in sequence.

The two leader eggs began to shake, and soon the Blood Fury Tyrant Dragon egg had a red tail pierce through its shell, revealing a small tip of its tail.

Before anyone could see clearly, the tail tip retracted, and the next moment it forcefully opened a hole in the neighboring eggshell.

Meanwhile, the Zhilong Ba egg was attacking from the inside, hitting the top of the eggshell, causing a muffled sound as the entire egg bounced up and down. Gradually, cracks began to appear at the top of the egg.

In the anticipation and silence of the viewers, a crisp sound was heard. The top third of the first egg was smashed open by the red tail, hanging behind the egg.

Inside the opened egg, a red-bellied baby dragon emerged from the shell, revealing a pair of wet, adorable dragon eyes still covered in egg fluid. Even with the sudden bright light, the eyes blinked and then fully opened, revealing a fierce glint.

With unstoppable newborn confidence, the baby dragon let out a young dragon’s roar that echoed throughout the entire star system.

The viewers in the stream were stunned by the overwhelming presence of the Blood Fury Tyrant Dragon cub!

"The Blood Fury Tyrant Dragons are rising! I’ve never seen such a strong cub before!"

"I am a red lizard, and I must say, facing this cub, my legs are shaking."

At that moment, the neighboring egg was pushed open, revealing a cub still wet, wearing half of its eggshell. Its chubby little face peeked out, and as its eyes adjusted to the light, it spotted Bai Xiaoyu. The cub suddenly reached out, asking to be held.

Bai Xiaoyu looked at the two cubs without surprise at their size.

These cubs couldn’t remain completely hidden. The dragon clans had already indicated that the royal family had some awareness. A few cubs maintaining their original form was fine, but they couldn’t be fully exposed.

The birth form of the little Blood Fury Tyrant Dragon cub was naturally a complete dragon cub. Looking at the cub proudly announcing its presence to the new world, Bai Xiaoyu’s lips curled into a small smile.

He walked over, picked up the dragon cub, and then picked up the other cub, who still had half of the eggshell on its head, seemingly a pure human cub.

The dragon cub excitedly nuzzled Bai Xiaoyu and continued to let out a dragon roar, making Bai Xiaoyu’s ears ring.

The cub in his other arm slowly lifted, and the eggshell slid off, revealing half of a vertically closed eye with light green scale armor. The dragon-shaped eye, occupying a third of the cub’s forehead, appeared in front of everyone.

The viewers in the stream gasped, realizing that what they thought was a pure human cub was actually a beastman cub.

The scales resembled those of a lizard, leading some to wonder if it was a mutated three-eyed lizard.

Bai Xiaoyu noticed that the cub’s beast eye and normal eye blinked at different frequencies, suggesting that two separate consciousnesses were controlling them. He wasn’t surprised, as he already knew about this.

At that moment, the Blood Fury Tyrant Dragon cub was still roaring fiercely. The little cub suddenly grew a tail and transformed into a small dragon-human, forcefully swinging its tail at the neighboring dragon cub.

After getting hit, the Blood Fury Tyrant Dragon cub finally fell silent. It glared at the three-eyed cub with its big belly before turning to the other eggs that seemed to be watching them, starting to swagger with its tail.
