Starting with the Broken-Winged Frost Butterfly: Beast Taming

"Wishing you a successful ignition."

A man and a woman weaved through the crowd, heading straight for Zhu Ran.

The man had a face like jade, and was handsome and dashing.

The woman was gentle, virtuous, and beautiful.

"Zhu Yao? Shen Xingyu?" Zhu Ran was quite surprised.

During the years when his reputation as a studious fanatic was tarnished, the two pillars who upheld the academic legacy of his class in the field of evolution of species were the man and woman standing before us.

They were both A-level qualified and came from wealthy families. One joined Professor Huang's research group, and the other was taken in as Dr. Yu's last disciple.

Huang and Yu were senior members of Zhongdu University, holding the rank of Third Rank and wielding immense power. Even Professor Tang Jiamu had to respectfully address them as "Teacher" or "Senior".

"Long time no see," Shen Xingyu said with a smile.

"Yes, it's been a long time," Zhu Ran said with emotion.

During my freshman year, everyone in my class was arrogant and considered themselves extraordinary.

Shen Xingyu and Zhu Yao were naturally the best of the best, known as the "Twin Stars," and they got together early on, becoming a perfect couple in the eyes of outsiders.

Until he was struck down to the mortal realm by Zhu Ran.

I just realized that there are always people more capable than you, and there's always something beyond your understanding.

"Your deeds have recently spread throughout the campus, and many professors have spoken highly of you. If you have someone you admire and want to follow, just let us know, and we can help introduce you."

Zhu Yao looked at the black-haired youth, overwhelmed with mixed feelings.

Once considered a formidable rival, they rapidly declined in their sophomore and junior years, only to rise again in their senior year.

Zhu Yao's feelings were actually very complicated.

But he is much more mature than before. The idea that he used to only want to overpower his opponent and prove his strength through victory or defeat has long since disappeared with the passage of time.

"We've recently developed a new life form. When we return from our trials, we might start a company and ask you for advice then," Shen Xingyu said with a smile.

She admired Zhu Ran more than her boyfriend Zhu Yao.

Despite having nothing, he managed to turn his life around on his own, proving the true value of the term "academic fanatic."

Such a person would be very troublesome if he became an enemy.

If they become friends, they are reliable allies, and can rely on each other in times of crisis.

"A new life form?" Zhu Ran asked in surprise.

"Let me make it clear beforehand that we don't mean to brag. This is the result of research by me, A-Yao, and two other senior students."

Shen Xingyu took out a sealed card. "Come out, Xue Xingxing."

A flash of light.

In a corner of the Shy Grass Square, the temperature suddenly dropped, and a thin layer of ice quickly formed on the ground.

On the thin ice stood a huge creature.

It is made up of two snowballs, one large and one small. The larger one is three meters in diameter and the smaller one is two meters in diameter, with an overall height of over five meters.

But the snowballs are not white; they are pure black, darker than the night, subtly swallowing the light, mysterious and terrifying.

It has eyes, which are two protruding mini snowballs. It has no nose, no mouth, no ears, but it has a pair of arms, like two icicles stuck on either side, hard and with a metallic texture.

[Race]: Black Yeti

[Attribute]: Ice/Dark

[Life Level]: Mature

[Bloodline Strength]: B

[Core Talents]: Sliding Field/Dark Erosion/Ice Aggregate

[Racial Skills]: Freezing Fist, Frozen Cage, Frosty Nightfall, Ice Spikes, Summon Snowman

Status: Indifferent

In just a moment.

Shen Xingyu released the recovery beam again, and the faint feeling of extreme cold and oppression suddenly dissipated.

"This is a Black Yeti, a dual-elemental being of ice and darkness. It is difficult to kill, moves swiftly in a plane, and possesses control skills, summoning skills, and melee skills, making it extremely versatile."

"The only drawback is that its predecessor, 'Snow Baby,' is exceptionally intelligent. However, once it follows this evolutionary path, its intelligence drops drastically, and it becomes extremely violent. If you don't watch it, it will kill anything that gets in its way..."

Shen Xingyu recounted the story in detail.

Zhu Yao smiled and nodded, exuding confidence and composure.

In his view, the so-called minor flaws do not constitute fatal shortcomings.

The Black Yeti is not an ordinary mature B-grade creature, but a rare B-grade creature. Once it is launched, it will definitely ignite the market and its popularity will far exceed that of the cute little tiger.

"Dual elemental powers of ice and darkness... adept at slaughter..."

Shang Yunying, Qin Yin, Yu Manrong, Mei Hui, and Liang Baizhou witnessed it together.

A little further away, people were also watching closely, and the fleeting appearance of the black snowman took them quite a surprise.

"The twin stars of the Species Evolution major have actually achieved this! Before even graduating, they're already jointly developing a rare Grade B formula?"

"They just mentioned 'Snow Baby.' The known evolutionary forms of Snow Baby include 'Snow Rock Baby,' 'Snow Dwarf,' 'Ice Beast,' and 'Snow Doll'... They're either mature D-rank or C-rank... Now they've broken the upper limit and found B-rank? If this news gets out, it will definitely cause a huge uproar..."

The gasps of surprise spread in a small area.

The eyes of hundreds of people lingered on Zhu Yao and Shen Xingyu, and then glanced at Zhu Ran.

Some people are genuinely amazed, wondering why the gap between students is widening so much.

Some people are gossiping, wondering if the Geminis are really just showing off their superiority? Will Zhu be discouraged by this?

However, Zhu Ran remained calm and unmoved by the surrounding noise, and no one could see through his true thoughts.

"Zhu Ran, laymen only see the spectacle, experts see the details. As I said before, this is the result of the research of the four of us, and you unlocked the original form of the little tiger all by yourself. The difficulty of that is hard for others to understand."

Hearing Shen Xingyu's sincere words.

Zhu Ran smiled faintly and said, "Class monitor, there's no need to worry. When you start your company, Uncle Liang and I will definitely come to support you."

"It's a deal!" Shen Xingyu smiled happily.

Zhu Yao also wore a smile, his eyes casually sweeping over the surroundings, and softly mentioned:

"Zhu Ran, Chu Yang from the third year is here too. We can lose to anyone else on this secret realm training trip, but losing to a junior from the same major would be the most unacceptable."

"And then there's Fan Jiangci. I don't like him either. I heard he's been bothering Qin less lately? I wonder if he's suddenly had an epiphany or is plotting something."

Zhu Ran nodded gently.

He also saw it; among the familiar faces, besides Chu Yang, there was Fan Jiangci.

This is the third person in the same class and major to hold an advanced trainer license, second only to the Gemini.

Moreover, this person is said to occasionally visit training facilities and arenas.

We must balance scientific research and combat operations.

If they were to actually enter the secret realm, their ability to handle the situation with composure would certainly far surpass that of a half-baked amateur like him.

"If you happen to meet someone in a secret realm, you might as well travel together and look out for each other."

Shen Xingyu praised:

"Ah Yao's 'Magic Porcelain Pig' is nearly immortal, making it perfect for adventure."

"The 'Crystal Sparrow' I bred has also grown from its initial C-grade to B-grade, and its innate 'Spatial Stomach' has been upgraded again, allowing it to hold even more resources."

"If we cooperate, we might be able to explore the depths of the secret realm and search for the legendary beasts."
