Beast Tamer: I'm invincible because I can see the evolution path!

Chapter 126 Reward? Little Wu and Cat Bug's Disdain! Qiao Bai is trending again!

After glancing at Qiao Bai's information and reading about Old Master Huo and the Altera Dragon King, Jiang Heng instantly knew Qiao Bai's identity.

Then came a wave of guilt and lingering fear.

Hey!

She almost caused a huge problem!

"You're not some kind of artificial intelligence, you're an artificial idiot!" Realizing he was wrong, Jiang Heng still couldn't help but curse at Qianji, "What's wrong with Qiao Bai's data! All the data matches perfectly!"

"drop--"

"Based on Qiao Bai's achievements, Xiao Qian doesn't think he belongs to the category of newcomers."

Jiang Heng: "..."

He was cursing and swearing!

Artificial stupidity!

This is artificial stupidity!

She wants a refund!

Returning the item is not possible.

In order to secure more access to this thousand-machine, the people on the 18th floor almost fought with the other floors, especially the finance department on the 16th floor, which is responsible for approving various fund flows.

Jiang Heng forced himself to press his philtrum and take deep breaths, barely managing to stay upright and not faint from anger.

Don't get dizzy.

I can't get dizzy.

Once she lay down, she didn't know when she would wake up again.

Ning Ruxue opened her mouth but ultimately did not persuade Jiang Heng to rest.

Hey.

It's almost the end of the year.

It's common for them to be constantly busy and running around in various departments.

She turned around and made Jiang Heng a cup of life-saving coffee, then returned to Jiang Heng's office.

"Phew—I'm alive again." After taking a sip, Jiang Heng seemed much better: "This is the limited edition coffee that Xiaoshan Group released this year, the one with added calming agents, right?"

"Thanks, Xiaoxue~" Jiang Heng gave Ning Ruxue a loving wink.

"I just finished my work and wanted to keep you company. You'd better hurry up and avoid making such a silly mistake again," Ning Ruxue said with a helpless sigh.

Jiang Heng nodded repeatedly.

Who said no!

"Qiao Bai..." Jiang Heng slid the mouse and looked at Qiao Bai's information and one-inch bareheaded photo on the screen in front of him.

There was not a trace of youthful spirit on Qiao Bai's face.

Some possess a composure that is not typical of 18-year-olds.

"Level 3 Researcher... Is this selection process easier than I imagined?" After reviewing all of Qiao Bai's achievements over the past year, including his attainment of the title of Pet Beast Professor, Jiang Heng stroked his chin with one hand and turned to look at Ning Ruxue.

"Judging from his current achievements, Qiao Bai should be the most outstanding among all of them, right?"

"Compared to years of experience, Qiao Bai should be the youngest." Thinking of Qiao Bai's age, Jiang Heng nodded to himself: "The 'Dai's Extraordinary Biological Evolution Professor Award' is awarded to newly entered pet evolution professors within the age range whose achievements meet the standards. I don't think anyone will object to giving this award to Qiao Bai, right?"

"If you really have a problem with this, you can have a battle with Qiao Bai and see if you're as awesome as Qiao Bai."

18 is old.

Think about what she was doing when she was 18... Oh, she had already been admitted to Yulong University by the time she was 18.

No problem.

Ning Ruxue agreed with Jiang Heng's words: "Qiao Bai's achievements are indeed remarkable. Since the initial discovery of the honey bug's evolutionary path, Qiao Bai has been rising all the way up. He even cracked the mystery of the 'Sunflower' some time ago and studied the evolutionary paths of the Holy Light Sunflower and the Netherworld Sunflower."

"Not to mention..." Ning Ruxue paused for a moment as she spoke.

"Hmm... about Grandpa Huo's Altera evolving into the Dragon King?" Although Ning Ruxue didn't finish her sentence, Jiang Heng immediately understood her unspoken meaning.

no way.

There's been an incredible amount of buzz surrounding Qiao Bai lately.

Even though Jiang Heng was in Xingcheng, in her office on the eighteenth floor of the Beast Taming Alliance headquarters, with a daily routine of never leaving the office and practically not having to work unless she was off duty, she could still occasionally hear other people discussing Qiao Bai from some obscure corners.

Most of it was questioning and criticism.

Some people think that Qiao Bai is too young and should be given more opportunities.

Those with a stronger tone might say that Qiao Bai is acting recklessly and that his behavior has no basis whatsoever.

Even worse, some people went so far as to claim that Qiao Bai was a spy sent by another country... cough cough, there aren't many people like that, but there are always one or two idiots.

Their reasoning was also quite sound. They believed that Qiao Bai was sending Old Master Huo and Altron to their deaths in order to weaken China's strength and cause China to lose a key general before the next beast tide arrives.

To this, Jiang Heng can only say: If your brain isn't working well enough, then go and improve it.

Don't just spread useless rumors behind people's backs.

"Haha." Thinking of this, Jiang Heng couldn't help but slap his thigh and laugh: "This reminds me of the time when the news came out that Grandpa Huo's Altera had evolved into a Dragon King. The faces of those guys who always gossip behind people's backs were... utterly awful!"

"I almost died laughing while watching this!"

"At the time, some people were still stubborn, insisting that the story was fake, a lie, and definitely not true."

"Then I turned around and saw a photo of Grandpa Huo with the evolved Altera on the homepage of Qingniao University's official website, and it was even a large-scale criticism notice!"

"Hahaha! I still laugh when I think about it now!" Jiang Heng laughed so hard he slumped in his chair, his body swaying from side to side, tears welling up in his eyes.

Ning Ruxue glanced at Jiang Heng, who had no composure whatsoever, and was about to say something, but in the end she couldn't help but laugh.

Okay, okay.

This is indeed quite funny.

Qiao Bai's response was incredibly swift.

Just two or three months later, when the situation had reached its peak, a stunning reversal occurred.

"Then let's go with Qiao Bai." Jiang Heng waved his hand and said very generously, "Anyway, among the materials submitted from other regions, there are definitely no pet battles with a higher professional title than Qiao Bai. Giving the 'Dai's Extraordinary Biological Evolution Professor Award' to Qiao Bai is no problem at all."

As she spoke, Ning Ruxue was about to verify Qiao Bai's materials.

"Alarm! Alarm!"

Just then, Xiaoqian's voice came from the computer again.

"Qiao Bai's achievements as a Level 3 Researcher need to be verified; Xiao Qian cannot approve them."

"Please have Team Leader Jiang verify the information of the other personnel to avoid any errors or omissions."

Jiang Heng: "..."

"You're a pet, a supernatural being, a living being, not some real artificial intelligence. Can you please fix your brain and make it work?" Jiang Heng rolled his eyes at the computer, utterly speechless.

"When Qianji enters the local area network to work, its identity will automatically transform into artificial intelligence. Qianji has the ability to learn relevant artificial intelligence knowledge on its own. Team Leader Jiang, please trust the learning ability of this artificial intelligence."

"Please review the information of other researchers and shortlist ten candidates, including Qiao Bai."

Jiang Heng fell silent again, her face contorted with rage—she knew it all along, this little AI-powered idiot was specifically created to torment her!

"Classify all Level 5 researchers and Level 4 researchers!" Jiang Heng said helplessly.

Okay, okay.

You can't even think about being lazy anymore.

If the information is similar, you should still take a look at it.

Looking at it this way...

Three whole hours passed.

"What kind of nonsense is this?!" Jiang Heng angrily threw it down!

She really wasn't just making things up.

It's a mess.

It's a complete mess.

As for Professor Qiao Bai, who, despite his young age, has achieved remarkable success, we need not say anything more.

However, in some provinces, even though the professor in charge of pets had no significant achievements and only did menial tasks, and the achievements made in the laboratory had absolutely nothing to do with him, they still reported him to the authorities.

What's this called?

This is just adding unnecessary workload to her!

"The 'Dai's Extraordinary Biological Evolution Professor Award' has always been about quality over quantity!" Jiang Heng put down the hand that was pinching the bridge of his nose, opened his eyes abruptly, and looked at it with an undeniable light: "Actually, this award has not been given out for five consecutive years. If it weren't for Qiao Bai who came out this year, I wouldn't mind sending all the materials back and letting it sit for another year."

"You really think you can just do something random and stand out from the crowd? Dream on."

As he spoke, Jiang Heng still firmly chose Qiao Bai's application and attached Qiao Bai's personal information.

Preliminary approval passed.

As for the subsequent procedures?

what.

Let those big shots in the final review have their headaches.

……

Although Qiao Bai was unaware of these matters, awards and such were not important to him.

The key point is that his talent skill encyclopedia includes a new evolution form of Altera – Argen Dragon King.

Qiao Bai sat lightly on the stall, with a small black bird in his left hand and a cat-like insect in his right. The long white snake had moved from Qiao Bai's wrist to his neck. Since they were indoors, and Qiao Bai wasn't afraid of the white snake, he didn't force it to move to another position.

Immediately afterwards, Qiao Bai found the page for the Yargen Dragon King in the encyclopedia.

[The Dragon King of Yargen's Gratitude: Dragon King's Essence Blood*]

[The Gift of the Dragon King of Yargen: Dragon King's Beam*]

Qiao Bai was a little surprised.

Previously, the evolved pets would only give a skill of the corresponding attribute as a token of gratitude. However, unexpectedly, when it came to the Argen Dragon King, he gave two things, one of which was blood essence.

This thing...

Even before Qiao Bai clicked on it, he could already tell that it was definitely not ordinary!

No hesitation.

Qiao Bai clicked on the two asterisks in turn.

【Dragon King's Essence Blood: Rare blood extracted from beneath the Dragon King's reverse scale, absolutely unique, and cannot be obtained or used without the Dragon King's voluntary gift; limited to use by extraordinary creatures with dragon attributes or those possessing dragon bloodlines. The former will greatly enhance their strength upon consumption, while the latter may activate and purify their bloodline, resulting in a certain degree of unknown mutation (five drops)】

【Dragon King Beam: The strongest skill of the Argen Dragon King, awe-inspiring and terrifying (its power may be weakened to varying degrees depending on the strength of the pet it is used)】

Qiao Bai: "!"

Whether it was the Dragon King's essence blood or the [Dragon King's Beam], both surprised Qiao Bai greatly.

The former is very suitable for the little white snake, so suitable that Qiao Bai even suspects that it was specially prepared for the little white snake by the Yargen Dragon King.

The latter... is actually more suitable for the little white snake.

The skill descriptions are rather vague.

But just one sentence—"The strongest skill of the Argen Dragon King"—is enough.

Qiao Bai dared not underestimate this skill.

The little white snake was taught the skill, but it was not yet able to fully utilize its potential.

Teach the cat bug...

Qiao Bai: Smiling.jpg

He hasn't forgotten the reversal buff that the cat-like bug has.

Who knows what strange skills this skill will become when applied to the cat-like bug? Qiao Bai didn't want to waste the [Dragon King Beam] skill, which sounded so awesome.

I thought about it.

Qiao Bai was still quite curious about the Dragon King's essence blood.

He took out a drop.

It was golden-red, teardrop-shaped, and about half the size of a palm, like a dazzling gem, appearing in Qiao Bai's palm.

Amazing.

The drop of blood did not flow.

Qiao Bai reached out and pinched it.

It has a unique, supple feel, with an indescribable bouncy texture; in short, it's... quite magical.

"It's a bit like the color of your eyes, Xiao Wu." Qiao Bai smiled, picked up the drop of blood essence, and placed it next to Xiao Wu's eyes for comparison.

Although they are both gold and red, they are still different when compared side by side.

The little black goldfish's red eyes were full of vitality and life, a kind of beauty as blazing as the sun and ever-renewing. Golden mist swirled and rose, carrying an indescribable sacred beauty.

Although this drop of golden-red dragon king's essence blood can be picked up directly by hand, the flow of blood can still be seen when it is shaken from side to side. Compared with the gold, the red part is more dominant and shows a kind of eerie beauty of blood.

Xiao Wu nudged Qiao Bai with its head, its big, golden-red eyes staring intently at him.

╭ (╯ ^ ╰) ╮

It's just a drop of dragon's blood!

How could it possibly compare to a bird!

Xiao Wu: That's how confident and proud I am!

Qiao Bai: "..."

It was clear that Xiao Wu disliked the drop of dragon blood.

Qiao Bai then waved his essence blood in front of the cat-like insect.

"grumble!"

"Chirp chirp!"

Take it, take it, take it now!

This dragon finds it disgusting!

Where did this turf-stealing guy come from!

hateful!

This territory belongs to me!

This dragon's domain!

Qiao Bai fell silent again.

Good guy.

The cat-bug doesn't even have dragon attributes yet, but it's already eyeing its own dragon domain?

"Hmm?" Just then, Qiao Bai felt a slight itch on his neck. He looked down and met the beautiful and majestic golden eyes of the little white snake. The little white snake was staring at the drop of Dragon King's essence blood in Qiao Bai's hand, its eyes looking somewhat confused.

"Want some?" Qiao Bai waved the drop of Dragon King's essence blood in his hand at the little white snake, a speechless yet amused expression on his face.

How should I put it?

Is the Dragon King's essence blood a good thing?

That must be it.

All right.

No problem.

The highest grade of high-grade resources, the rarest of all.

After seeing that the Dragon King of Yargen had given him five drops of essence blood, Qiao Bai wondered what would happen if his three treasures at home started fighting over it. Who would have thought that... Xiao Wu and the cat-like insects had different opinions and different directions of disdain, and even the little white snake, who should have been most interested in this essence blood, seemed to have a bit of confusion in its eyes.

Hearing Qiao Bai's question, the little white snake hesitated and cautiously extended its tongue towards the drop of dragon blood.

Take a lick.

It tastes like a familiar flavor.

Then, with just a gentle lick... the little white snake went limp.

Qiao Bai: "!"

They quickly scooped up the little white snake's body, and Little Crow and Cat Bug also rushed over.

Xiao Wu: ∑(△｀)?!

Catbug: ∑(O_O；)

The two little ones had the same shocked expression.

They even waved their wings and paws, wanting to see for themselves what was going on with the little white snake.

Although, but.

The little white snake is now a member of this family; it will be their future little brother!

If their younger brother gets into trouble, how can the bosses just ignore it?

No!

"It's alright, it's alright." Qiao Bai looked at the little white snake's body, which was like a spicy snack to Xiao Wu, and then at the cat worm's six feet, which couldn't hold anything at all, and quickly stopped them from doing so.

Qiao Bai grabbed the little white snake with his own hand and began to examine it.

kindness……

I can't tell if it's dead or alive.

It felt icy cold to the touch, and I could barely feel the heartbeat. I touched its nostrils... so it should still be breathing, right?

Qiao Bai took another look at the blood essence on his hand.

The smooth, gem-like part below was mysteriously chipped, and even more surprisingly, the remaining blood did not flow out. It was just like a gem that had been smashed and chipped.

"The little white snake must have ingested the Dragon King's essence blood. The energy was too great and it couldn't be fully absorbed in time, which is why it fainted." Qiao Bai used his innate skill to check on the little white snake. After confirming that the little white snake was alright, he found a container to put the Dragon King's essence blood that had been cut open into a special container.

I didn't mind taking a few more bites after just one.

Qiao Bai was very curious about what changes would occur to the little white snake after it used up the drop of Dragon King's blood essence.

Seeing this, Xiao Wu and Maomaochong glanced at the little white snake, then glanced at the little white snake again.

After confirming several times that the little white snake was still breathing and hadn't just died, he finally turned his attention away.

Yep.

The problem is not big.

I'm sure everything's alright!

Qiao Bai chuckled and ruffled their heads: "When did you start caring about the little white snake?"

Little Wu raised its head, humming softly.

This is not a matter.

This is the demeanor of a big sister!

Catbug was also nodding incessantly beside him.

Style, style!

After laughing enough, Qiao Bai began his ten-pull spree—tonight, he had to empty the skill pool of the Argen Dragon King!

With the knowledge he's painstakingly accumulated over the past six months regarding other extraordinary creatures, drawing a dragon-attribute skill from the pool would be a piece of cake.

Three hours later.

Qiao Bai: Smiling.jpg

I don't know if Chi Zikong is free or not.

His brain was completely emptied.

Let's talk about skill allocation later. What he needs right now is a good night's sleep to comfort himself that everything that happened tonight was just a dream!

Otherwise, why would he have only drawn less than eight dragon-attribute skills after a hundred 10-pulls?

Where did all the other dragon-attribute skills go?

Qiao Bai: Rejecting reality, denying reality, escaping reality

……

"Here, here!" Qi Yue waved excitedly to Qiao Bai, her ponytail bouncing up and down as she jumped. "You're such a busy man! It was so hard to get you to come out!" Qi Yue hugged Lin Weiwei's arm and complained to Qiao Bai with a coquettish expression.

Her gaze then swept over the two people behind Qiao Bai.

Although Zou Tang has short hair, you can still tell she's a young girl, a cool young girl.

Qi Yue puffed out her cheeks slightly, about to complain a few more times, when Li Gan rushed towards Qiao Bai with tears in his eyes first: "Waaah! Brother Qiao, you've got a new little brother now, and you don't want your good-for-nothing little brother anymore?!"

Qiao Bai: "..."

Qiao Bai quickly took a step back, thus avoiding being hugged by Li Gan.

Seeing this, Li Gan wanted to chase after him, wiping his fake crying snot and tears on Qiao Bai's clothes. Qiao Bai smiled fakely and took three steps back, silently staring at Li Gan with a smile that carried a murderous intent.

Li Gan stopped in his tracks.

"Haha..." Li Gan's alarm nerves were already frantically sending him bad signals: "Brother Qiao, are you... in a bad mood?"

Li Gan cautiously peeked in Qiao Bai's direction and said something.

Qiao Bai: "...There is a small problem, but it's not a big deal. I'll be fine after a while."

Li Gan, knowing exactly what to do, made an OK sign at Qiao Bai.

Qiao Bai, who was a friend of both sides, introduced them to each other.

Qi Yue and Lin Weiwei looked at Zou Tang curiously. Zou Tang stepped forward with a cheerful smile. The three girls, who were about the same age, quickly became acquainted. However, since the only person they knew in the same group was Qiao Bai, all their conversations revolved around Qiao Bai.

Li Gan and Huo Xiaotian, who were standing nearby, soon became a group of friends, whether because of their similar temperament or for some other reason. Before Qiao Bai could even notice, the two of them had already put their arms around each other's shoulders.

"So what did Brother Qiao come out for today?" Huo Xiaotian asked with a silly and cute expression.

Li Gan: "Huh? I don't know either! Two girls called me, so I came out!"

"Haha, I ran into Brother Qiao at the school gate, so I came along with him," Huo Xiaotian said with a big laugh. Li Gan, like Huo Xiaotian, grinned foolishly.

The three girls who happened to overhear the conversation were speechless.

Qi Yue and Zou Tang exchanged a glance, and then saw the same speechless and helpless expression in each other's eyes as they looked at their companion.

What can we do?

What can they do when they encounter such a silly companion?

"Didn't I tell you that I came out today to buy Qiao Bai's academic journal? You didn't take my words to heart at all, did you?" Qi Yue rolled her eyes at Li Gan.

Li Gan: "Huh?"

"Academic journals? What academic journals?" Li Gan blinked, his expression still blank even after Qi Yue reminded him.

In this respect, Huo Xiaotian is still slightly better.

"Huh? Brother Qiao wrote a paper? Which academic journal is it?!" Huo Xiaotian looked at Qiao Bai with a shocked expression: "I don't believe that other people's papers written in their freshman year can be published in academic journals, but if it's Brother Qiao, no problem, no problem at all."

"The Big Four, I guess? That's a long name, I can't remember it all, but I'll find out when I get there." Qi Yue blinked and said, "I've heard about this a long time ago, and I've been waiting for it!"

"Besides, this is a paper related to the protagonists of the hottest news a while ago, Mr. Huo and Altron. Even if I don't understand it, I have to read it!"

As she spoke, Qi Yue glanced at Huo Xiaotian again: "Speaking of which, you seem to share the same surname, Huo?"

Huo Xiaotian was shocked.

So it's an academic journal related to the evolution of Altera?

Look, look!

He absolutely has to see this!

One second he looked like a simple-minded Huo Xiaotian, and the next second he became energetic and looked like a genius.

Apart from Qi Yue and Lin Weiwei, who already knew what they were going to do today, the others, including Li Gan, Huo Xiaotian, and Zou Tang, were all very interested in Qiao Baixin's academic paper.

……

It wasn't just one or two people who were interested in Qiao Bai's paper.

There are many people.

There are a lot.

"Huaxia Extraordinary Biological Research" is a long-established core journal in China with a history of 153 years.

Since its inception, it has had extremely strict requirements for the papers it publishes, and it has a certain degree of authority both domestically and internationally.

The pet professor whose paper was published in "Huaxia Chaofan" has a significant amount of power and influence in the industry.

In the past century, the chances of a newcomer or a professor of pet animals with a short career in the field getting their paper published in the journal "Huaxia Chaofan" are less than 1%.

But that 1% did appear—

That is Qiao Bai's latest paper, "An Exploration of Multiple Evolutionary Modes of Altera's Evolution to the Dragon King Level in Extraordinary Biological Evolution".

After reading Qiao Bai's paper and helping to make some formatting changes, Zhou Xinran decisively and without hesitation submitted it to the four major domestic journals on pet evolution research.

"Extraordinary Biological Research in China", "Extraordinary Biological Research Studies", "New Extraordinary Research", "Contemporary Research"

The first two are old-school periodicals with a history of over a century.

The latter two are modern, emerging journals that, while possessing a certain influence, are also more youthful and energetic, and dare to publish some rather controversial papers.

Although all four voted.

However, Zhou Xinran was certain that Qiao Bai's paper was more likely to be accepted by "New Extraordinary Studies" and "Contemporary Studies".

But it's okay.

As long as either of these two journals publishes Qiao Bai's paper, the inside story of Old Master Huo and Altron's challenge to the Dragon King, along with the arguments in the paper, will quickly spread throughout the entire circle and then outwards.

What Zhou Xinran didn't expect was...

Before the news of approval from *New Extraordinary Studies* and *Contemporary Studies*.

"Huaxia Extraordinary Biological Research," one of the two oldest journals, called her even faster and promised to put Qiao Bai's paper in the most prominent position in the journal.

Zhou Xinran: "!"

After receiving this call, Zhou Xinran was so shocked that words could not describe it.

Although both "Huaxia Extraordinary Biological Research" and "Extraordinary Biological Research Studies" are long-established journals, if one had to say, "Huaxia Extraordinary" holds a higher position in the minds of most professors of pet animals than "Extraordinary Studies".

Because the founder of "Huaxia Chaofan" was a student of Huaxia's first pet professor, and also an outstanding pet professor with considerable expertise in the research of extraordinary creatures.

They possess strong professional skills.

This ensured that the papers published in the early editions of "Huaxia Chaofan" were of a high standard.

Over the years, the evaluation criteria are naturally different from the beginning, but the strictness remains the same. It requires a certain level of ability from the professors themselves and a very high level of value from the papers.

Who would have thought—

Qiao Bai actually approved that request!

Without hesitation.

Zhou Xinran agreed to publish in "Huaxia Chaofan" and declined offers from "New Chaofan Studies" and "Contemporary Studies" after they also expressed their willingness to publish in her journal.

"The New Extraordinary Studies" is alright.

After being rejected, I hung up the phone.

However, Contemporary Studies was clearly very interested in Qiao Bai's paper and wanted to publish it. They kept trying to communicate with Zhou Xinran and even approached Qiao Bai.

Qiao Bai: A thesis? What thesis?

Once I've finished writing, I'll go.

Qiao Bai didn't care about what was published and left everything to Zhou Xinran.

Contemporary Studies had no choice but to turn back to Zhou Xinran again.

"I've made myself very clear. This paper has already been published in other journals. You know the Big Four's first-come, first-served rule, right?" Zhou Xinran said somewhat irritably.

"Professor Zhou, we understand what you mean, but please believe that our journal *Contemporary* is truly sincere and willing to put this paper on the first page and reprint it once. What do you think? *New Extraordinary* probably hasn't agreed to as many of your requests as we have."

First edition.

Reprinted.

These are incredible honors for professors who publish papers featuring pets.

Unfortunately, Zhou Xinran wasn't tempted at all.

"Why do you think I agreed to 'The New Extraordinary'?"

In a word.

The article left Contemporary magazine speechless with shock.

If it's not "The New Amazing Race", then who is it?

Of the four major journals, besides them and *New Extraordinary*, how could the other two possibly publish...?

"What I promised was 'China's Extraordinary'."

Another sentence.

The phone, which shocked Contemporary, fell to the ground.

Their chins also fell to the ground at the same time.

"China's Extraordinary"!

That's "Huaxia Chaofan"!

Zhou Xinran didn't hide it from Qiao Bai, letting him suffer for a while before revealing his secret to his cunning and shrewdness.

If you're a tiger, you should show it from the start!

She said it very frankly.

The news spread like wildfire—

A paper by a new professor specializing in pet evolution was published in "Huaxia Chaofan".

The news spread like wildfire among the professors of pet evolution and the circles of beast tamers.

Upon hearing this news, everyone's first reaction was: Impossible!

fake.

This must be fake.

They then learned Qiao Bai's name and fell silent again.

Qiao Bai...

If it were him, then things would be really hard to say.

They all knew that Grandpa Huo and Altron had gone to challenge the Dragon King, and they had even gathered together to discuss the matter. In the end, they all came to the same conclusion—they had been bewitched. Grandpa Huo and Altron must have been bewitched by Qiao Bai.

did not expect.

In the blink of an eye.

Grandpa Huo returned in high spirits.

Altera evolved into a new Dragon King.

China has gained another Dragon King!

Finally, there's Qiao Bai... How the hell did Qiao Bai do that?

All right.

They are no longer surprised that "Huaxia Chaofan" would publish Qiao Bai's paper.

Dragon King.

That's a paper related to the Evolution Dragon King.

Who wouldn't be interested?

Regardless of which journal this paper is published in, it's likely to be a must-have for everyone in the field.

The professors of pet evolution wanted to see Qiao Bai's thought process and figure out what was going on in his mind.

The beast tamers wanted to see if their dragon-type pets had a chance to evolve into dragon kings.

The trainers couldn't help but be curious and wanted to see how Qiao Bai managed to persuade Old Master Huo to willingly challenge the Dragon King and even win. They wondered if they could learn from his methods.

Qiao Bai: "?"

Regardless of the thoughts or purposes behind it.

The final result was that the latest issue of "China's Extraordinary Biological Research" sold out immediately.

These journals, which maintain their status and exclusivity, are mostly not purchased by individual customers; they are subscribed to by a fixed group of clients.

Without the financial support from the government and alliances, their solid internal structure, and the relatively high prices of the journals themselves, these journal publishers would be on the verge of bankruptcy at any moment, and it wouldn't be impossible for them to be unable to make ends meet.

Taking into account the potentially large number of beast tamers being purchased this time, "Research on Extraordinary Creatures of China" has specially doubled its print run compared to usual.

Unexpectedly—

In ten minutes, the entire stock was sold out, both online and offline.

Hua Xia Chaofan: "?"

What happened?

Who are they and where are they?

Why did it sell out even after printing double the amount?

"Print more! Print more!"

"Never mind that for now, keep printing!"

Everyone at "Huaxia Chaofan" was working non-stop, and while they were completely bewildered, they also acted swiftly.

On the other hand, *Supernatural Biology Research*, who was completely unaware of the entire incident until *Huaxia Supernatural* became busy, was left wondering: "?"

No?

You have no martial ethics!

We agreed to maintain a high-end image together and not sell anything, so why did you have to find a young, attractive celebrity to promote our products?!

……

"Wow—" Qi Yue exclaimed in surprise as she looked at the university town newspaper office packed with people. "Why are there so many people? Usually when I pass by here, there are hardly any people inside."

Qi Yue looked left and right; the newspaper office was packed with people.

"A paper by George Blaine!"

"Boss, I want one too!"

"That 'Huaxia' magazine, right? Me! Me! I want ten copies! I'm getting them for my classmates too!"

Standing at the door, Qi Yue heard the commotion inside and exclaimed, "!"

"Wait! I have to get this!" Qi Yue rolled up her sleeves and rushed in without saying a word: "Boss, give me six!"

The five people left standing at the door—Qiao Bai, Lin Weiwei, Zou Tang, Li Gan, and Huo Xiaotian—were left bewildered.

"So...why do so many people want to read my paper?" A big question mark appeared above Qiao Bai's head, his face full of confusion and bewilderment.

Zou Tang lowered his head and typed on his phone, quickly finding out the details: "Ah... this, it seems that this news has also spread widely among ordinary people."

As he spoke, Zou Tang handed his phone to Qiao Bai for a quick look.

Qiao Bai: "..."

really.

A quick online search will yield relevant information.

The news of Altera evolving into Argendragon has been circulating for several days now.

Grandpa Huo's report is still posted on the official website of Qingniao University, and not only beast tamers, but ordinary people can see it at any time.

However, perhaps because the Dragon King had been missing from the Beast Tamers for too long, and the three Dragon Kings within China did not often appear, nor did they show any ferocity or friendliness during the beast tide, ordinary people gradually became less sensitive to the Dragon King.

Until yesterday, a blogger discussed the topic of the Dragon King with netizens online and did a one-hour popular science video about the Dragon King, proving the Dragon King's power from various aspects.

How powerful would a human beast tamer be if they possessed a [Dragon King] during a beast tide?

This popular science article was published.

At first, netizens were still skeptical.

I think the blogger is exaggerating.

Then... after netizens checked all the information themselves and found that the blogger's claims were not exaggerated at all, and even toned down quite a bit... they went crazy!

Netizens have gone crazy!

Hey!

Why are they only finding out about this big news now?

Why not announce this good news nationwide!

Isn't this something to celebrate?

What?

The professor who discovered a new evolutionary path for Altera was none other than the emerging genius, Professor Qiao Bai.

And his paper on the evolution of Altera is about to be published in a journal?

buy!

You absolutely must buy it!

If you don't buy it, you're not a true Chinese!

Not to mention that the journal's name contains the characters for "China," so I definitely have to buy it.

that's it.

While Qiao Bai was unaware... his name went viral online once again.

Everyone is talking about it.

Everyone is rushing to finish the journal.

Forget whether you understand it or not, just tell me if you're going to buy it or not.

After learning the whole story, Qiao Bai was speechless.

My feelings are a little complicated.

Before Qiao Bai could have a chance to prepare, Qi Yue strode out, ponytail flared, carrying six thick journals, amidst the envious gazes of the others.

"Here, one for each of you!" Qi Yue walked up to Qiao Bai and the others, proudly raised her chin, and handed each of them a brand-new journal that still smelled of ink.

"...My sister is amazing." Huo Xiaotian was deeply shocked by Qi Yue.

Zou Tang also gave Qi Yue a thumbs up: "Awesome, sister!"

"There are so many people inside? Look at your hair, it's all messed up. How can you still manage to grab six books like that?" Lin Weiwei walked over to Qi Yue, took out a comb and hair tie from her bag, and handed them to Qi Yue: "Shall I fix your hair?"

"Okay." Qi Yue chuckled and stood obediently, letting Lin Weiwei stand on the steps behind her to fix her hair.

Then, beaming, she looked at Qiao Bai and the others and said, "Hmph, don't they know who I am? I said I wanted six books, and I have to be able to snatch them!"

"Let's go, let's find a place now and study Qiao Bai's paper together."

"Perfect timing, now I can ask Qiao Bai directly if there's anything I don't understand."

As she spoke, Qi Yue opened her bright, upturned peach blossom eyes and looked at Qiao Bai.
