Versatile Mage: My Elements Evolve Infinitely

Chapter 49 Shadow Anaconda
"Beast soul?"

When he heard what was in the box, Lin Yu was surprised again.

But he soon realized it. He remembered that in the original novel, during the World Academy Competition, Mo Fan spent 300 million to buy the beast soul for the Swift Star Wolf to advance.

What kind of beast soul is inside this?
Dean Xiao didn't know what Lin Yu was thinking. Seeing his puzzled expression, he began to explain, "Souls are usually mutated from spirit essences and are very rare."

"And the beast soul in this box was produced by a great commander-level demon."

"It's an anaconda from the primitive forest. It's called 'Shadow Anaconda'. It possesses some of the abilities of the shadow system. It caused me a lot of trouble back then."

After hearing what Dean Xiao said, Lin Yu was even more confused. Why would the beast soul produced by the great commander-level demon be used to pay off his debt?

The value should far exceed one's own public resources.

As if seeing Lin Yu's doubts, Dean Xiao smiled and said, "You should be able to guess that if it is really such a good thing, it will definitely not be exchanged with that little resource."

Lin Yu nodded in agreement.

Dean Xiao glanced at Lin Yu and smiled knowingly, then said, "Actually, this beast soul is not a complete beast soul."

"Not a complete beast soul?" Lin Yu became even more confused.

"Yes." Dean Xiao nodded and continued to explain:

"When we first acquired it ten years ago, we discovered it was a product between a spirit essence and a beast soul. It possesses the effects of a beast soul, but it's not a complete beast soul. Therefore, the moment it appeared, its power began to fade."

"At the beginning, no one in our academy had a summoned or contracted beast suitable for this beast soul, so we didn't want to sell it. Then, we kept it for so long. Although we have carefully preserved it and tried to minimize its energy loss, after so many years, we still don't know how much energy it still has."

"If your summoned beast wasn't also a snake, I wouldn't have taken it out. Although your summoned beast is a lightning-type, it won't have much impact if it's not used for advancement. The energy contained in the beast soul can actually shorten the growth time of your summoned beast."

After hearing this, Lin Yu finally understood.

This is a gamble, betting that the soul of the shadow anaconda in the box is still intact; if you win, the value will be infinitely high. Although it cannot be close to the 700 million or 800 million mentioned by President Xiao, it is definitely not something that can be obtained with 10 or 20 million.

If you lose, the beast soul will have completely dissipated and will be worthless.

"Okay, now you decide whether to open it or not."

"If you choose not to open it, I will give you eight million."

Dean Xiao leaned back slightly in his chair, waiting for Lin Yu's choice.

"open!"

Lin Yu did not hesitate at all. It would be of little use for him to take the eight million. If only one third of the beast soul was left, Xiao Lan might have the opportunity to gain shadow abilities if he ate it.

Lin Yu was betting on both sides, betting that Xiao Lan could control the black magic, and betting that the beast soul had not completely dissipated.

"Okay! I'll open you now and get ready to summon your contracted beast."

Dean Xiao didn't expect Lin Yu to be so decisive. He looked at the fiery eyes on Lin Yu's face and couldn't help but sigh in his heart that young people are still courageous.

"Wait a minute, Dean Xiao." Lin Yu interrupted Dean Xiao's actions.

"Oh? Do you regret it?"

Lin Yu shook his head, looked up and took a look at the space here, and said again, "No, the space here is too small. Can we move to a more open place?"

Dean Xiao was stunned when he heard Lin Yu's words, and then he reacted. He had seen Xiao Lan's size before, and it was indeed a little smaller here.

"I didn't think it through. Come on, I'll take you to the roof." He raised his finger and pointed upwards, then stood up and walked out.

Lin Yu quickly picked up the box on the table and followed closely.

But this box is very strange. It seems to be protected by a layer of water. It feels cool in the hand.

Walking up a staircase, Lin Yu followed Dean Xiao to the rooftop of the library. "Okay, put the box down and get ready!"

After hearing Dean Xiao's arrangement, Lin Yu walked to the center of the roof, put the box on the ground, took two steps back, and began to draw a star map.

Seeing Lin Yu's anxious look.

Dean Xiao curled up the corner of his mouth into a smile. Without saying anything, he slowly stretched out a hand, and the water elements around him instantly became extremely rich.

On the box, a pattern composed of aqua blue stripes appeared, which looked very mysterious.

"Boom——"

A sound like bubbles bursting was heard, and the aqua blue stripes on the box disappeared instantly, and the lid slowly opened.

The aura of a commanding demon began to spread.

Feeling this breath, Lin Yu's eyes lit up instantly. This breath was very manic and did not show any sign of weakness.

"Boy, you're really lucky. I opened it once five years ago, and there were still three-fifths of its beast soul left."

“I didn’t expect that five years had passed without any of the time passing!!”

"If those people knew about this, they definitely wouldn't give it to you. At the time, we estimated that only one-fifth of the beast soul would remain at most."

Dean Xiao felt the breath of the 'Shadow Anaconda Soul' in the box, turned to look at Lin Yu, and spoke with a smile.

Hear this.

Lin Yu widened his eyes, and after feeling the breath, he knew that he had not lost this time.

I didn’t expect it to be three-fifths! There’s still more than half left!!
Although its value is greatly reduced compared to the completed one, it is still rare. This is the 'beast soul' of a 'shadow-type' 'commander-level' demon.

I made a lot of money this time.

Retracting his thoughts, Lin Yu looked at Dean Xiao with a smile, "Dean Xiao, it's not that I'm lucky, it's that your magic level is high! You are worthy of being the principal of our Mingzhu Academy!!!"

"Alright, hurry up and summon your contracted beast. Once the restriction is lifted, the energy will flow much faster."

Lin Yu nodded hurriedly after hearing this.

The star map had already been drawn up, and with a slight movement of his mind, a crack in the contract space appeared in front of him.

A small blue figure emerged from inside in an instant.

She raised her head high and looked at Lin Yu angrily, with lightning condensing between the two meat buns on her head.

Seeing this scene, Lin Yu smiled awkwardly at Dean Xiao, then looked up at Xiao Lan, "Xiao Lan, after all, you also took action last time. I scratched your tail and we are even, right?"

Xiao Lan still looked ashamed and angry, as if saying, "I will spank you and then play with you. Are you willing?"
"I came out this time to give you something good. Didn't you notice any different aura around you?"

Seeing that Xiaolan was still gathering strength, Lin Yu quickly diverted her attention.

I heard what Lin Yu said.

She withdrew her gaze from Lin Yu and squinted slightly to feel it.

In an instant, she seemed to have encountered a powerful enemy. Lightning surged around her body, and she instantly came to Lin Yu and protected him in the middle of her body.

"Don't be nervous, don't be nervous. Look at the ground, they're not enemies!!"

Lin Yu looked up at Xiao Lan, who was protecting him with a vigilant look, and felt warm in his heart. He couldn't help but pat her body and explain.
