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

Chapter 130 Qiao Bai: I've mutated again?! A special kind of fog!

"You probably haven't asked around, have you?" Compared to the surprised Sang Yuan and Old Ding, Hua Zhong's expression was incredibly calm.

"In the previous league between Yulong and Honghu, Qiao Bai won the championship, which caused quite a stir afterwards."

Sang Yuan and Old Ding had not known much about this matter.

Although it's a league organized by Yulong and Honghu, it's primarily a league for recruiting new students, and given their current status, they generally wouldn't care about such a small competition.

It wasn't until I saw Qiao Bai's name on the awards list today that I truly understood how extraordinary Qiao Bai was.

"I even went to look into it, and it turns out that Qiao Bai isn't very interested in becoming an excellent professor of pet evolution." Hua Zhong's words left the two of them speechless.

"With his talent, it would be a waste if he didn't study pet evolution!" Old Ding said seriously, with the expression of a young man joking around. "If he just grows up step by step, he'll definitely be the next Old Wu!"

"Exactly!" Now Sang Yuan no longer saw anything wrong with standing on the same side as his arch-rival: "This young man is born to do research!"

Hua Zhong: "They are just as good at fighting with beasts."

silence.

It is a shared silence.

"And I heard that the young man wants to become a beast tamer," Hua Chong added.

Sang Yuan and Old Ding: "..."

Stop talking, stop talking.

This award goes to!

We must give it to them!

If Qiao Bai really gives up becoming a professor of pet evolution because of them, then they are sinners!

You are a terrible sinner!

……

Qiao Bai had a meal with Qi Yuelin, Weiwei, Li Gan, Huo Xiaotian, and Zou Tang, and it was already dark when he returned to his dormitory.

Touching the still-unawakened little white snake, Qiao Bai suddenly remembered something.

"Hmm... I don't think Senior Chu contacted me today?"

The shock of Qiao Bai's rise to the top of the power rankings was far greater than the shock of winning the championship in the freshman league of various universities organized by TOP2 last time.

In just a few hours, Qiao Bai's phone was almost overflowing with messages.

Qiao Bai glanced at the messages and saw that even some senior students he had met at Qingniao University had sent congratulatory messages and expressed their desire to team up with him.

Chu Yanyi, who was the first to team up with Qiao Bai, did not send a message.

After thinking for a moment, Qiao Bai sent Chu Yanyi a question mark, asking what was going on with Chu Yanyi.

Chu Yanyi didn't reply to the message immediately, so Qiao Bai glanced at it twice and put her phone down.

"You did a great job today." Qiao Bai looked at Xiao Wu and Maomaochong, who had made great contributions today.

Xiao Wu: Proud.jpg

Cat Bug: Head Up, Chest Out.jpg

The two little ones had expressions of pure pride on their faces.

The beast tamer praised me.

Happy!

"I'll give you two an extra treat today as a reward," Qiao Bai said with a smile, ruffling the heads of Xiao Wu and Maomaochong.

Little Wu and Cat Bug were even happier.

Great!

Special treatment!

Both Qiao Bai and her two pets were in a great mood. After their usual two-hour meditation session, Qiao Bai fell asleep with Xiao Wu and the cat-like insect.

The little white snake lay quietly coiled up in a small corner.

the next day.

Qiao Bai had just woken up in the morning. He reached for his phone under his pillow, still half asleep, and was about to check the time when he suddenly woke up with a start.

With a "whoosh," Qiao Bai sat up straight.

Xiao Wu and Maomao Chong, who were sleeping on Qiao Bai's blanket on either side, were also pulled off.

Little Wu and Cat Bug, still not fully awake: "?"

The little bird flapped its wings to steady itself. It glanced at the cat-like insect that had fallen to the ground and rolled several times with a "gurgle," and its eyes revealed a faint disdain.

No, little brother.

The bird is the true and most important pillar of this family!

With her golden-red eyes wide open, Xiao Wu was about to rush into Qiao Bai's arms to whine and complain when she saw Qiao Bai's slightly serious expression.

The little bird, which was charging forward, flapped its wings and hurriedly stopped in mid-air.

Beastmaster, something seems to have happened?

Little Wu tilted its head, demonstrating excellent observation skills.

Xiao Wu decided not to disturb the Beast Tamer for the time being, and then swatted the cat-like insect that was also trying to rush into Qiao Bai's arms, knocking it to the ground.

The cat-like insect with its six legs pointing upwards: "?"

Six feet kept gliding in the air, their eyes filled with confusion.

What happened? Who is it? Where is it?

Xiao Wu: Quiet

Catbug: QwO

Qiao Bai didn't notice the interaction between the two little ones. He stared at the message Chu Yanyi sent on his phone and frowned slightly.

[Chu Yanyi: Congratulations, junior, on reaching the top of the combat power rankings. However, I may not be able to team up with you anymore. My Tier 5 Violent Giant Bear has suffered very serious injuries and is still unconscious.]

[Chu Yanyi: Junior, if you still plan to participate in the competition, I can recommend some suitable team members for you. They are all trustworthy. I've sent you the list.]

[Chu Yanyi: List.docx]

Looking at the list sent by Chu Yanyi, Qiao Bai frowned slightly and did not accept the list file.

[Qiao Bai: What happened? What's going on?]

Serious injury?

How serious could it be?

Given the current level of medical technology, how could the injury possibly reach an untreatable stage?

Chu Yanyi remained silent for a while before sending a message again on the other end of the phone.

[Chu Yanyi: Let's talk about it when we meet tomorrow.]

[Qiao Bai: OK]

The waiting area of the largest pet center in the city center.

"So what kind of dangerous place did you go to?" Qiao Bai looked at Chu Yanyi, whose appearance had changed drastically, with a face full of doubt.

Chu Yanyi originally had short hair that barely reached her shoulders, and her skin, while not exactly fair, was a healthy wheatish complexion, making her a definite, capable and dashing beauty.

But now, when I saw Chu Yanyi again, her shoulder-length short hair had become a real short haircut. It was uneven and looked like it had been chewed by a dog. The longest part of her hair only reached her earlobe. She also had three or four wounds of various sizes on her face, and there was a burn the size of a fingernail on her jawbone. She looked quite disheveled.

"The fog in the forbidden area of Tianhe City will soon dissipate. My cousin is a member of the main city's exploration team, so she asked me if she could bring one more person in, and I agreed," Chu Yanyi said expressionlessly, as if the wounds on her face and the bandages on her body did not exist.

"I never expected that after going in..." Chu Yanyi paused, her expression quite complicated, "...In short, I encountered many unexpected things, and my Violent Giant Bear was injured in the process."

"Moreover, the injuries are very strange, and medical equipment cannot completely heal them. I..." Chu Yanyi, who had clearly experienced many harrowing encounters, was indifferent to her own condition, but her eyes gradually dimmed when she talked about the violent giant bear.

It was filled with self-blame and disappointment in himself.

Qiao Bai sighed softly, "Could I see the Violent Giant Bear?"

Upon hearing this, Chu Yanyi's eyes flickered twice, her expression becoming even more hesitant. Her lips trembled slightly as she said, "I... Violent Giant Bear..."

"After the Violent Giant Bear was severely injured, it was unable to be returned to the Beast Taming Space in my Spiritual Sea, so I temporarily placed it in the Pet Center."

Chu Yanyi turned around and glanced at the bright and clean pet center behind her, and Qiao Bai followed her gaze.

Although the pet center looks clean, it's certainly not as good as being with a pet tamer...

"Let's go take a look together," Qiao Bai said with a sigh.

Chu Yanyi nodded and silently walked ahead, leading Qiao Bai towards the long, silvery-white corridor at the back.

Passing through rooms with transparent glass that allowed a clear view of the interior, the two quickly arrived at the room where the violent giant bear was located. There weren't many pets actually being fostered here.

Qiao Bai immediately recognized the violent giant bear inside.

Like Chu Yanyi, the changes that had occurred on the violent giant bear were also very significant, even greater than he had imagined.

The strong, muscular, and powerful limbs became slender, not to the point of being just a layer of skin, but not much better.

The once lush and abundant flesh on the torso has become weak.

There were several bloody wounds on its fur, large and small, with flesh torn and bleeding, showing signs of bandaging and treatment, but they were of little use.

The violent giant bear lay half-prone on the ground, its tightly closed eyes trembling, clearly in great pain.

Qiao Bai's gaze fell on the wounds on the violent giant bear. He was unsure whether... the milky white, faint, and somewhat familiar mist was something only he could see, or...?

"The wounds on the Violent Giant Bear can't be treated even by medical equipment. Did the doctor, the League, or your cousin say anything?" Qiao Bai asked tentatively.

Chu Yanyi didn't catch the probing meaning in Qiao Bai's words: "The veterinarians at the pet center have examined me more than once, and each time the results have been normal, there's no problem, the instruments can't detect the injury."

"My cousin... my cousin's condition isn't good either; she's fallen into a coma."

"We were able to escape the Forbidden Land of the Heavenly River safely thanks to the timely arrival of the Alliance's seventh-tier Beast Tamer." Chu Yanyi sighed. "The Alliance has never encountered a situation like this before, and they have already dispatched a seventh-tier Beast Tamer to lead a team into the Forbidden Land of the Heavenly River."

"The investigation will take a little more time."

Qiao Bai understood.

Chu Yanyi's situation was far worse than he had imagined; a seventh-tier beast tamer from the alliance was leading an investigation...

So, does that mean no one noticed the unusual nature of the giant bear's wound?

Qiao Bai: "?"

So... he's mutated again?

After thinking for a moment, Qiao Bai activated his talent skill.

[Pet: Violent Giant Bear]

[Attribute: Fighting]

[Variety: Intermediate*]

[Rank: Tier 3, Low-level*]

[Skills: Hammering, Thrusting, Taishan Fist, Superhuman Strength Strike... Gravitational Potential Energy]

[Unable to evolve temporarily due to special circumstances*]

[Talent Skill: None]

Bloodline: None

So hungry...so full...so painful...so uncomfortable...so itchy...

Qiao Bai glanced at the darting eyes under the Violent Giant Bear's eyelids, then at the thoughts in the Violent Giant Bear's mind, and stroked his chin. He was even more puzzled by the Violent Giant Bear's current state.

Hmm...it doesn't seem to be his imagination?

The milky white mist didn't seem to pose as much of a threat to the violent bear as he had imagined.

Then Qiao Bai clicked on several asterisks.

[Product Type*: Potential for a significant drop, but also a certain probability of a breakout.]

[Level*: There is a possibility of continued decline, but there is also a certain probability of returning to the peak and breaking through.]

[Special Status*: Erosion by Primal Qi]

Qiao Bai: Huh?

His gaze fell on the "Special Status" section.

Primal energy?

What is that?

Qiao Bai tapped a few times, wanting to see if he could see a more detailed description.

Unfortunately, it doesn't work; I can't click it.

Qiao Bai could only rely on his own deductions.

The primal energy… Qiao Bai looked at the milky white mist swirling around the wound of the violent giant bear; this must be what it refers to.

Its function... Qiao Bai thought of the faint mist in the unexplored area of the forbidden land.

It is difficult to drive away, and one must be especially careful when entering.

Qiao Bai stroked his chin and turned to look at Chu Yanyi, who was staring intently at the violent giant bear in the room with a solemn and melancholic gaze: "Can I go in and take a look?"

Chu Yanyi: "?"

"Shall we go in and take a look?" Chu Yanyi's expression showed a hint of surprise, as if she hadn't expected Qiao Bai to make such a request. After thinking for a moment, she didn't refuse: "Sure, the Alliance's beast tamers, breeders, and pet professors have all checked it out before."

"If you're looking for clues from a violent giant bear, the chances are slim."

Qiao Bai nodded.

Qiao Bai didn't know why others couldn't see the mist at the wound of the violent giant bear, but since he could see it, there must be something special about it, right?

A rather risky idea came to Qiao Bai's mind.

...Give it a try?

Give it a try!

It wasn't that Qiao Bai was recklessly bold; it was mainly because he sensed the eagerness of Xiao Wu and the Cat Insect within his spiritual sea's beast-taming space. If Qiao Bai hadn't forcibly restrained them, Xiao Wu and the Cat Insect would have already rushed out.

Qiao Bai: Calm down, calm down, I'm going now.

Little Wu: Hurry!

Catbug: Hurry, hurry, hurry!

The two little guys were practically screaming in Qiao Bai's mind.

Pushing open the door, Qiao Bai immediately smelled a faint floral fragrance and a bitter smell in the room, followed by the bloody smell emanating from the wounds of the violent giant bear.

The mixture tastes very strange; smelling it too much makes my head feel a little dizzy.

Qiao Bai took a deep breath at the door before stepping into the room and walking step by step to the side of the violent giant bear.

Qiao Bai didn't try to hide his footsteps; he walked steadily with each step. After all, the room was only so big, and no matter how careful he was, he couldn't avoid the violent giant bear.

Hearing Qiao Bai's footsteps, the violent giant bear twitched its two erect ears but didn't move, obediently letting Qiao Bai walk to its side.

Chu Yanyi, standing outside, looked on with surprise at the scene.

hmmmm?

Is it possible for a violent giant bear to be this docile?

No!

When the breeders and pet professors examined the Violent Giant Bear's injuries, the bear didn't exactly act fiercely or brutally, as it was normal for it to roar a few times out of pain and alertness.

When examining and bandaging wounds, the violent giant bear exhibits extreme vigilance and ferocity, with baring its teeth being a common sight.

After all, every examination and touch of the wound only intensifies the pain of the violent giant bear, and the pain persists as the wound continues to heal.

As the incidents continued, the violent giant bear became increasingly agitated when faced with people coming to check on it, bandage it, and assess its condition.

Such obedience is rare...

That's so rare.

Chu Yanyi stared intently at Qiao Bai. For some reason, a few inexplicable thoughts arose in her heart... Maybe, just maybe, Qiao Bai had some special means and methods?

Qiao Bai: Smiling.jpg

Basic operations.

These are the basic principles.

Talent skills are really useful.

Qiao Bai walked easily to the side of the violent giant bear. After hesitating for a second, he reached out and placed his palm on the bear's wound.

Chu Yanyi outside the door: "!"

Chu Yanyi's eyes widened suddenly, and his body tensed up instantly, almost as if he wanted to rush in to save Qiao Bai.

then……

The violent giant bear did not roar.

There was no grimacing or baring of teeth.

There was no anger or outburst.

Chu Yanyi: "?"

Qiao Bai ignored Chu Yanyi's rollercoaster-like mood outside; he was focused on fighting the milky white mist—primal energy—emanating from the wound of the violent giant bear.

You wouldn't know unless you looked into it.

Qiao Bai knew how formidable it was after just one mock exam.

Vigorous and fierce.

Intense.

It's far more exciting than the fog Qiao Bai entered in the forbidden land.

Just by gently placing his hand on the wound and making slight contact with the milky white mist, Qiao Bai felt half of his body go numb.

It's not simply numbness.

It was like... a stinging sensation mixed with comfort, a numbness mixed with enjoyment, and an omnipresent itching sensation that penetrated deep into the bones, leaving Qiao Bai's mind blank for a moment.

A perfect understanding of the violent giant bear's psychological state.

Just as Qiao Bai was about to pull his hand back, all the comfort and discomfort that the milky white mist brought him vanished completely.

Qiao Bai: "?"

Qiao Bai closed his eyes and then saw the wondrous scene within the Beast Taming Space of his Spiritual Sea.

The once quiet spiritual sea and beast-taming space now resembled a real sea, with towering waves and surging spray, and silvery-white spiritual energy constantly rolling and crashing.

The little crow and the cat-like insect, which lived in the Beast Taming Space of the Spiritual Sea, were not frightened at all. They even jumped up and down happily at the right time.

Little Wu and Cat Bug: Let's have fun and have a blast together!

Let's go clubbing in the ocean of spirits!

Oh oh oh—!

excited!

excitement!

An unprecedentedly joyful experience!

Let's get this party started, folks next door!

Little Wu and Cat Bug are both incredibly lively.

Qiao Bai: "..."

dizzy.

The turbulent sea of consciousness relayed its sensations to Qiao Bai, who discovered for the first time that he was actually seasick!

However, a special spiritual force supported Qiao Bai, preventing him from staggering and losing his balance.

The milky white mist from the wound on the violent giant bear had been completely absorbed by Qiao Bai, and the mist from the other wounds was also gathering here.

The first thing the violent bear noticed was the change in the wound: "!"

oh--!

The violent giant bear suddenly opened its eyes, its round eyes filled with shock and disbelief. It turned its head and stared at Qiao Bai.

Qiao Bai reached out his other hand and patted the violent giant bear on the head: "Shut up and lie still."

Absorb and digest what can be absorbed and digested as soon as possible.

Qiao Bai didn't say the next sentence, nor did he need to: the violent giant bear wasn't a complete idiot.

The violent giant bear and Qiao Bai exerted their power together.

Qiao Bai's mental state was getting increasingly turbulent, Xiao Wu and the cat-like insects were getting more and more excited, and the violent giant bear's expression was gradually improving.

As can be seen with the naked eye, the milky white mist at the wound of the violent giant bear is decreasing. The majority of it has been absorbed by Qiao Bai, and only a small portion remains to be absorbed by the violent giant bear.

Although the feeling in his mental sea was not pleasant, Qiao Bai still devoted some attention to it, keeping his innate skill active and staring at the violent giant bear.

stare--

Keep an eye on it—

at last.

The panel in front of Qiao Bai changed.
