Beastmaster: I'm really not a training master

Chapter 883 Completion of the Evolutionary Work
After leaving Kumu Valley and returning to Jinlonggang, Li Qian, Feiyue, Teacher Ling, Principal Yuchi, and Zeng Hongliang began to discuss their plans.

Li Qian had a general idea of ​​what was happening inside the Crimson Small World, but he wasn't entirely clear on the specifics of what had occurred there.

Jinlonggang, inside the garrison headquarters.

Next, it took a few minutes for Principal Yuchi to give a detailed account of what had happened to the action team members in the Scarlet Little World.

"You mean, when you went there, you easily blasted open the world barrier, but when you came back, the world barrier had suddenly become much thicker?"

After listening to Principal Yuchi's account, Li Qian couldn't help but frown. "It seems that the Blood Demon Cult's cultists must have known about our operation all along. The sudden and significant thickening of the world barrier must have been their doing."

"That's what I think too. The anomaly of the world barrier, besides being the arrangement by the Blood Demon Cult cultists, should also be related to that giant centipede."

Seeing that Li Qian and the others were interested, he continued, "From that giant centipede, I sensed a rich power of the world."

"I suspect that the giant centipede is very likely the world spirit of that crimson little world."

Upon hearing Principal Yuchi's words, Li Qian slightly raised his eyes, "The Spirit of the World?"

Nodding, Principal Yuchi didn't keep anyone in suspense and explained simply, "There are many ways in which the spirit of the world can be formed."

"For example, if one is trapped in this world for a long time, the energy in one's body will merge with the power of the world and become inseparable; or, for example, if a pet beast is born from this world, it will eventually grow to the point of being unrivaled and even far ahead."

"Or perhaps, through a series of coincidences, I came into contact with the world..."

Seeing that Principal Yuchi's explanation was quite complicated, Teacher Ling chimed in, "The so-called World Spirit is not actually that magical. You can think of it as an ordinary pet beast that has some ability to mobilize the world's energy."

Upon hearing this, Li Qian's face showed a look of sudden realization. "I see."

After hearing what Teacher Ling said, he finally understood completely. It turned out to be the spirit of the world. No wonder the world barrier suddenly became much thicker after that giant centipede appeared.

Having grasped the key point, Li Qian didn't dwell on the matter. He looked at Principal Yuchi, his expression suddenly turning serious. "Our operation this time was full of deception and concealment. How could the Blood Demon Cult's cultists have so easily discovered our whereabouts?"

"Could it be..."

He didn't finish his sentence, but the meaning he wanted to express was already very clear.

Zeng Hongliang nodded and then expressed his opinion: "There is a possibility that there is a spy who leaked the information, and the possibility is not low."

"However, other possibilities also exist."

"What possibility?" This time, it wasn't Li Qian asking the question, but the old principal Yuchi. Clearly, he was also unaware of, or rather, hadn't considered, the other possibility Zeng Hongliang mentioned.

Zeng Hongliang didn't mince words and directly stated his guess: "Perhaps this crimson little world is not the Blood Demon Cult's real lair, but just a decoy."

"After all, who would put their lair on the head of such a terrifying behemoth? Wouldn't they have to be on guard against danger at all times?"

"So in my opinion, that place might just be a minefield they deliberately planted, and we just happened to stumble upon it."

After listening to Zeng Hongliang's explanation, Li Qian nodded slightly, acknowledging that such a possibility was not out of the question.

"Whether it's true or not, the investigation must not be let go." Principal Yuchi nodded as well, his gaze fixed ahead, his tone suddenly becoming firm.

After chatting for a while, Principal Yuchi and Zeng Hongliang left Jinlonggang.

They still had many things to do, including investigating spies and figuring out how to deal with the giant centipede in the Scarlet Little World.

Leaving it in the Crimson Small World is always a potential hazard; it might cause serious harm to humanity in the future if dimensions merge. Now that it has been discovered early, there's no reason to ignore it.

As for Li Qian, Fei Yue, and Teacher Ling, they stayed behind.

Teacher Zero needs to protect Li Qian and Fei Yue's safety, as the latter two still have evolutionary work to complete.

The evolution subjects sent by Shazhou Beast Taming University are only the beginning.

Li Qian was particularly troubled by this batch of evolution subjects. He originally thought that it was just that their strength level was not up to standard. In fact, the strength level was only a minor issue.

Their bigger problem is actually their age or physical condition.

There are many who are frail and elderly, and many who are seriously ill.

Just thinking about these people gave Li Qian a headache.

These people could perish if they were not careful, which really made him feel somewhat constrained.

But now that things have come to this, backing down is definitely not an option.

So even though he knew the failure rate was high, he had to bite the bullet and keep evolving.

Finally, ten days later, with the assistance of the legendary Nine Dragons Fusang Tree, all the evolution work was completed.

There were a total of 28 people, of whom 15 successfully evolved.

This success rate is already considered quite high.

Because it involved human lives, Li Qian was extremely serious and cautious when hosting this episode of Evolution.

Even so, he still failed thirteen times.

Of these thirteen times, thanks to the Scarlet Moon's formation and the assistance of the Nine Dragons Fusang Tree, only five people truly perished, while the remaining eight suffered injuries of varying degrees.

Of these eight people, Li Qian estimated that no more than three would have a chance to break through to the pseudo-legendary level of physical body in the future.

The remaining five people have no reason to even try.

It would be better to enjoy one's retirement.

"Phew!" After completing all the evolution work, Li Qian breathed a long sigh of relief, finally feeling a weight lifted from his heart.

Although the result was not satisfactory, he had no regrets or remorse. He felt that he had done his best.

After completing the evolution work, Li Qian did not immediately return to Shazhou Beast Taming University, but stayed in Jinlonggang to rest.

"Li Qian, something's happened." Just as Li Qian was resting in Jinlonggang, Dean Pan Bing came to find him and brought bad news.

Li Qian, puzzled, asked, "What happened?"

"The giant centipede in the Crimson Small World is gone!" Dean Pan Bing frowned as he delivered the specifics of the bad news.

Upon hearing this, Li Qian's eyes showed a look of doubt.
