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

Chapter 155 I could do it too? No, no, no! It's just Professor Qiao Bai's high level of understanding that gives people this illusion!

Su Zhengming said righteously and sternly, "Before you came, President Xue Qing instructed us not to disturb you unless necessary, so as not to affect your research direction, and we are not allowed to make such unreasonable demands on you."

"You." As he spoke, Su Zhengming turned his gaze back to Muller.

"Just wait to die. I'll tell the president the truth when I get back."

"Hey! No!" Müllerkang tried to beg for mercy, "Professor Qiao Bai didn't agree..."

"Actually, it's not impossible," Qiao Bai suddenly said.

Müller: "?"

It's a heartwarming feeling.

There was also a feeling that I was about to be beaten.

Muller blinked in Qiao Bai's direction, wanting to speak but looking hesitant, as if afraid of being hit.

Uncle Su Zhengming rolled his eyes at him: "Weren't you pretty fierce before? How come you're suddenly mute? Can't you say a word?"

"I...I was just saying it offhand, just kidding, who would have thought..." Muller stammered for a long time, his face full of shock and confusion.

No?

Don't other people ever have moments when they're not careful with their words?

When it comes to joking around, Müller naturally lets his mind wander, daring to say anything without fear of getting beaten up.

But once Qiao Bai agreed...

Muller looked pitifully at Qiao Bai, Su Zhengming, and Su Fang standing to the side.

want to.

But I'm also afraid that the president will find out...

"Coward!" Su Zhengming gave Muller a disdainful look, then turned to Qiao Bai: "Professor Qiao Bai, that's just how this guy is. You really don't need to take his words to heart."

"We'll teach him a lesson later."

"You don't need to agree just because you feel embarrassed. These kinds of things still need to be..."

"No." Qiao Bai interrupted Su Zhengming before he could finish speaking. He looked relaxed, as if he really didn't care about such things. "We've been at sea for a while. If we don't encounter any extraordinary creatures along the way, I'll have to find something else to pass the time."

"While I'm at it, researching new pet evolution routes is a way to pass the time, I suppose."

Qiao Bai said very casually.

Su Fang and Su Zhengming's feelings were indescribably complicated.

Doesn't this sound a bit off?

Who has a good way of passing the time by studying the evolution of pets?

Oh.

Professor Qiao Bai.

Suddenly I feel like I can understand it now.

Su Fang and Su Zhengming both looked choked up by Qiao Bai's words.

Seeing that Qiao Bai really didn't find this difficult, they couldn't help but feel excited again—this was a new evolution path for pets!

Who wouldn't be excited?

They simply can't stay calm at all.

"Professor Qiao Bai, what kind of extraordinary creature do you want to study?" Su Fang stepped forward decisively and waved his hand. Whether they had it or not, as long as Qiao Bai wanted to study it, they would get it for him!

You can also contract one yourself.

"Uncle, release your extraordinary creature so I can see it," Qiao Bai said, looking at Su Zhengming.

Despite saying that, Qiao Bai still planned to choose a suitable water-attribute pet from the three people's pets.

Let's take advantage of this skill.

Expand your character panel and skill library.

"Okay."

Without saying a word, Su Zhengming released all of his pet beasts.

As a third-tier beast tamer, Su Zhengming has a total of five pet beasts, the lowest being one sixth-tier, three fifth-tier, and one fourth-tier.

However, among Su Zhengming's five pet beasts, apart from the strongest one, the sixth-tier West Sea Siren, the remaining four pet beasts are all fifth-tier: the fifth-tier high-level Ice Mandarin Duck and Water Shark, the fifth-tier mid-level Jade Silver Snake, and the fifth-tier low-level Rainbow Patterned Qilin Fish.

Qiao Bai touched his chin.

The three people's pets have a significant overlap.

Especially the colorful cherub.

But thinking about it carefully, it's actually quite normal.

As a city located near the Azure Crystal Inner Sea, the largest source of all the pets owned by the city's Beastmasters is not the Forbidden Forest, but the Azure Crystal Inner Sea.

Even the pets sold in the breeding shops in Lingbo City are mostly water-type pets.

Among them, the most common varieties are the colorful unicorn and the silver snake.

Secondly, there are those with higher potential, such as sea swans and ice nymphs.

Qiao Bai already had an idea in mind.

Qiao Bai: "Then let's go with the Rainbow-patterned Qilin."

Su Fang and Su Zhengming's eyes lit up.

Colorful cheetah – Yay!

They all have colorful cheetahs!

If Professor Qiao Bai needs the assistance of a beast tamer, they would be the best choice.

Müller, standing to the side: "?"

"Wait, wait, wait—!" Muller quickly reached out to stop him, his hand outstretched with a look of insecurity, his wrist twisted, his index finger pointing at his own nose.

"What about me? What about me?"

"Professor Qiao Bai, is this some kind of punishment for me?!"

Müller let out a mournful scream.

Qiao Bai: "..."

"Uh, no, that's not it." Qiao Bai looked at Muller with a sincere expression, blinked, and said, "Do you believe me?"

Muller: "..."

The two men looked at each other, and Müller shed tears of grief.

I don't want to talk.

I dare not complain.

All he wants now is to have a good cry by himself.

"Ahem." Qiao Bai pressed a fist to his lips. "Indeed, the Rainbow-Patterned Qilin Fish is the most convenient. As for the other pets..."

With his innate skill activated, Qiao Bai's gaze swept over the other pets.

Like the West Sea Sirens and the Ice Mandarin Ducks, they also have new evolutionary paths, and their strength after evolution is quite formidable.

but.

The process is complicated and tedious.

It's not suitable for Qiao Bai to use as a small research project to kill time, or to incidentally gain skills.

When choosing, you should definitely pick the most convenient one.

The most convenient one is the striped bream.

Moreover, both Su Fang and Su Zhengming had formed contracts with the Rainbow-Patterned Qilin Fish. In fact, Muller had also formed a contract with the Rainbow-Patterned Qilin Fish, but unfortunately his Rainbow-Patterned Qilin Fish had already evolved into the Spotted Fish ahead of time.

Qiao Bai: My apologies, my apologies.

have to say.

He has already selected the most suitable superhuman being at the moment.

Su Fang and Su Zhengming understood this principle, as did Müller.

Müller felt just a tiny bit of sadness—a tiny bit, really just a tiny bit.

Muller was too embarrassed to complain to Joe.

He then turned his attention to Su Fang and Su Zhengming.

"You two are so heartless! You have to speak up for me when we get back! Otherwise, you'll be letting me down, you know that?!"

"Waaaaah! I want to help Professor Qiao Bai too! I want to give my pet to Professor Qiao Bai!!"

"Spotted fish, oh spotted fish, why aren't you called a rainbow-striped bream? Even if you're not a spotted fish..."

Su Fang and Su Zhengming couldn't take it anymore, and they both rolled their eyes at Muller in unison: "Shut up."

Müller: "Waaah!"

Su Fang and Su Zhengming: "..."

On one hand, I felt helpless, but on the other hand, I had to admit that there was some truth to what Müller said.

This time it really is only a tiny bit.

"Fine, we'll put in a good word for you." Su Fang said expressionlessly.

Su Zhengming also said with a righteous and stern expression, "But whether the chairman believes us or not is beyond our control."

Qiao Bai paid no attention to the lively commotion coming from the three of them.

He was looking at the colorful-patterned fish, stroking his chin with great interest.

I am genuinely interested.

I hadn't looked at it closely before.

When Qiao Bai actually activated his talent skill and took a closer look at this extraordinary creature, he discovered something interesting.

This evolutionary method... is truly unique, tailor-made for the rainbow fin fish.

Although it is a new evolutionary method.

But among all the extraordinary creatures in the world, perhaps only the Rainbow-striped Scaled Fish can use it.

"Professor Qiao Bai...?"

After the three people over there finished arguing, they saw Qiao Bai stroking his chin, seemingly lost in thought in his own world.

Look left and look right.

The three of them were still a little worried and called Qiao Bai's name in hushed tones.

With a snap, Qiao Bai came to his senses.

"Professor Qiao Bai, what happened to you just now?" Su Fang asked, circling around Qiao Bai with some concern, like a little dog chasing its own tail.

Enthusiastic and lively.

Her expression was full of worry for Qiao Bai.

cough cough.

Qiao Bai dismissed his somewhat unreliable idea and then said, "Ah... I have some ideas about the new evolutionary path of the Rainbow-striped Scaled Fish."

Su Fang and Su Zhengming: "?"

Müller: "?!"

The three of them looked at Qiao Bai simultaneously, their eyes filled with disbelief and great shock.

No?

What did they just hear?

Professor Qiao Bai was saying... "Professor Qiao Bai, do you mean you've already explored a new evolutionary path for the Rainbow-striped Scaled Fish?"

Muller asked cautiously.

If that's the case... then it's not entirely incomprehensible.

While it's impossible to be certain how quick and intelligent the Beastmaster Professor is, he's certainly more capable than those Beastmasters who spend their days fighting and rushing around.

It's perfectly normal to have a new idea within minutes.

Whether it can be achieved depends on subsequent attempts and research.

"No, I have a specific direction, and the success rate should be around 80% if nothing unexpected happens... right?"

After thinking about it, Qiao Bai decided not to use a definite 100%, nor a roughly 95% or 90%, but instead lowered it to 80%.

In Qiao Bai's view, this was already a rather conservative figure.

However, to Muller, Su Fang, and Su Zhengming, the story was completely different.

Of the three, Su Fang is the youngest.

Even though he's young, Su Fang is a top student at Beaver University, and he'll be graduating in the second half of the year. He's completed all the basic courses related to extraordinary biology with passing grades.

How could she not know?

When the professor is researching a new supernatural creature, a success rate of 40% is considered high, and 60% is practically a sure thing.

80%... What's the difference between that and being on the verge of success, just one step away from the finish line?

Su Fang looked at Qiao Bai with a hesitant expression, but Qiao Bai seemed unfazed and didn't find his words particularly shocking.

Su Fang: "..."

Forget it.

Don't say anything.

As long as Professor Qiao is happy.

They just need to behave and obey.

"So what do we need to do?" Su Zhengming coughed lightly twice and asked in a soft voice.

Who cares!

80% is fine too.

60% is fine too.

He believed in Professor Qiao Bai's abilities as a young genius!

What kind of brain do you need?

That's shocking!

Just listen to me!

Qiao Bai: No, no, it's not that bad. You still need a little bit of brainpower and aesthetic sense.

"Aesthetics," Qiao Bai uttered.

Then I successfully obtained three faces filled with bewildered expressions.

Qiao Bai waved his hand: "No rush, there's plenty of time on this voyage. If all goes well, maybe both of your Rainbow Scaled Fish will evolve."

Upon hearing this, Su Fang and Su Zhengming both seemed somewhat eager to make a move.

Hey!

That would be wonderful!

natural.

They also knew that this was all thanks to Qiao Bai. They would take extra care of Professor Qiao Bai on this trip, and there would be no problem at all!

Müller, once again rejected by this hastily assembled team, felt utterly disheartened.

Thinking back to how happy he was when the Rainbow Scaled Fish evolved into the Spotted Fish, Muller felt so heartbroken and wanted to eat lemons when he heard that Qiao Bai might be able to research a new evolutionary route for the Rainbow Scaled Fish.

"Not sour, not sour." Muller released his spotted fish and gently stroked its head, as if speaking to the fish, or perhaps to himself, "Evolve early, enjoy early."

"Be content with what you have!"

Perhaps this new evolutionary path is about as powerful as the spotted fish!

After comforting himself for a while, Muller relaxed and joined Qiao Bai's class.

The yacht has started.

Although, but.

As a technological means of transportation, yachts are limited in terms of speed and other aspects. In addition, Qiao Bai needs to check the current status of other extraordinary creatures on the route, which will inevitably be a rather lengthy process.

As for the time in between...

It was then handed over to Su Fang and Su Zhengming.

After hearing Qiao Bai's request, the two of them were practically turning into question marks.

In other words, they had never heard of such an outrageous request before!

However, Qiao Bai had a serious expression on his face, which did not seem like he was joking at all, so they could not question or refute him.

Thinking back, Qiao Bai had asked them whether he wanted to hear the principles first or skip directly to the process.

obviously.

Both of them chose the latter.

just now……

regret.

Very sorry.

What's wrong with sitting down and listening a few more words?

At least it won't be like now, where I'm confused and lost, unable to ask anything, and can only do as I'm told.

"Hehehe." Muller, the only one who didn't need to do anything, sidled up to Qiao Bai, who was holding Little Wu and Cat Bug and petting the cat and bird, and asked curiously, "Professor Qiao Bai, why did you send them to find that ornament that would satisfy the Rainbow-Patterned Scaled Fish?"

Yes.

Muller also felt that Qiao Bai's request was outrageous, extremely outrageous, and beyond his comprehension.

What did Qiao Bai send those two people to do?

Find materials.

Make ornaments that will satisfy the rainbow fin fish.

Headdress.

Pendant.

decorate.

Any kind is fine, as long as it can be worn on the body of the Rainbow-patterned Fish and each one satisfies the Rainbow-patterned Fish. The number of ornaments should not be less than five, and the more the better.

After hearing this request, the three of them remained completely bewildered.

Can't understand.

If he were among those currently on the move, Müller would surely have been itching to slam his fist on the table and demand an explanation.

However, Su Fang and Su Zhengming were both honest and straightforward people. They didn't understand what Qiao Bai said, but they still did as Qiao Bai said.

They believed that Qiao Bai would never play tricks on them for no reason.

Let's do it then.

Once you've done it, you'll know what the point of doing all this is.

Muller: "..."

The fact that the other two were so honest only highlighted how rebellious he was.

It tastes like a heart attack.

Qiao Bai glanced at Muller, not really caring about Muller's question, and continued to stroke Xiao Wu and the cat bug.

The two little ones were fine when they first boarded the ship.

After driving for a while, both little ones started to feel seasick.

Qiao Bai could only rub them to make them feel a little more comfortable.

The two little ones lay in Qiao Bai's arms, whimpering and looking like they didn't want to be separated from him.

Qiao Bai felt a mixture of helplessness and amusement.

"Well... it's not hard to explain." Qiao Bai gestured with his hands, explaining to Muller in simple and clear words: "There has always been a saying that the colorful-striped fish likes good-looking people, and the spotted fish is also the most beautiful fish in the group."

"The former is somewhat controversial, after all, every rainbow bream has a different aesthetic, just like humans, a thousand people have a thousand different aesthetics."

"That's right." Muller rummaged around and magically pried up a piece of deck, then found cocoa powder and a bunch of snacks underneath.

Under Qiao Bai's bewildered and shocked gaze, Muller went inside the yacht to get a few disposable cups and hot water, made a few cups of hot cocoa, and handed them to Qiao Bai: "Give the two little ones a little. It won't do much practical work, it's mainly for peace of mind."

"It feels good to drink something hot."

Qiao Bai: "..."

It makes sense.

Taking the still-steaming hot cocoa, Qiao Bai fed it to Xiao Wu and Maomaochong, one spoonful at a time, as the rapidly moving sea breeze quickly dissipated the heat.

The two seasick little guys didn't mind anymore... especially Xiao Wu, who didn't mind that the cat-like insect had drunk from it and started drinking it in small sips.

It's a little hot.

But it seems quite comfortable?

The little white snake and the little jellyfish: "!"

They want to drink too!

The little white snake, who didn't really want to drink, but couldn't resist seeing others drinking, and the little jellyfish, who would eat anything, quickly ran towards Qiao Bai.

In the blink of an eye.

Qiao Bai transformed into a pet climbing frame right in front of Muller.

Every part of it is covered in pets.

Müller: Laughing.jpg

Muller suddenly stopped being as anxious as he had been.

Well~

Just like Professor Qiao Bai said, we still have plenty of time on the ship, so we can listen to what Professor Qiao Bai has to say.

In short, Professor Qiao Bai would definitely not harm them.

Qiao Bai settled the little white snake and the little jellyfish that pounced on him, and also let the two pets have a few bites of hot cocoa.

The little white snake just felt so-so.

Its main selling point is that it wants to have what others have.

Small jellyfish are different.

Delicious!

You can still drink it!

What?

It changes color after you drink it?

The little jellyfish excitedly flapped its fin, displaying a strange, intriguing color that left one speechless and unwilling to elaborate.

Qiao Bai glanced at it and then looked away.

It's so spicy it hurts my eyes.

It's truly an eyesore.

If you don't want to hurt your eyes, it's best to look away. If the little jellyfish likes to drink, just let it drink.

The little jellyfish didn't care at all.

Little jellyfish: I'm full! I'm happy!

After finishing the drink, feeling warm all over, the little jellyfish lay on Qiao Bai's shoulder and dozed off.

Qiao Bai smiled.

"Continuing from what I was saying, we can't take the descriptions of the rainbow-colored unicorns entirely at face value."

Muller nodded: "That's right, I remember they used a rainbow-colored bream as a judge in a beauty pageant before, and they selected someone with that kind of appearance..."

Yep.

It's hard to describe.

After all, a person's appearance cannot be used to judge whether they are good or bad; it can only be considered a form of aesthetics.

However, in the beauty pageant, a contestant appeared who did not conform to normal aesthetic standards no matter how you looked at her... and she was even selected by the once most credible and aesthetically pleasing rainbow bream...

In short, since then, very few formal beauty pageants have used the rainbow bream to judge the beauty of contestants.

Using the colorful cheetah as an aesthetic judge has gradually become a gimmick favored by some obscure beauty pageants.

"Take that guy, Old Su, for example. He's not handsome at all! But he still managed to contract a Rainbow-patterned Qilin!" Not wanting to judge people he didn't know, Muller decided to start with someone he knew—Su Zhengming!

Qiao Bai: "..."

As expected of you.

Muller did not tarnish his image in Qiao Bai's mind at all, and even reinforced some unnecessary stereotypes.

"That's true. People's aesthetic sense is different, let alone that of extraordinary beings. How can you expect their aesthetic sense to be similar to that of humans?"

"But as I said before, we can't believe everything, but we can't disbelieve everything either. From the habits of the variegated finfish and the evolutionary path of the spotted fish, we can still find some very interesting things—beauty runs through the whole process."

Qiao Bai said with a smile.

Is it powerful or not?

It's not important to the rainbow bream.

But beauty is very important to the rainbow bream.

The pursuit of beauty in beast tamers.

Seeking beauty among fellow members of the group.

Following this line of thought, what's missing is a kind of beauty—the pursuit of one's own beauty.

The appearance of the colorful unicorn... to be honest, it can't be called beautiful by human standards, but it's not ugly either. It's just barely passable. The colorful mixture of colors is quite distinctive.

That's it.

Qiao Bai wasn't sure if the others hadn't thought of it or had overlooked it, but did the Rainbow-patterned Scaled Fish, an extraordinary creature with a high standard of beauty, not have any pursuit of its own beauty?

However.

After seeing the new evolution path of the Rainbow-Patterned Scaled Fish displayed on the panel, Qiao Bai could understand why no one had discovered the new evolution path of the Rainbow-Patterned Scaled Fish for so many years. It was simply because the requirements were a bit... peculiar.

It's just the others.

Evolution requirements for Luoshui Fish & Yao Nu Fish:

Wearing five or more accessories that match the Rainbow-Patterned Qilin Fish's aesthetic preferences on different parts of its body will cause it to randomly evolve into a Luoshui Fish or a Yao Nu Fish two days later.

(The quantity and aesthetic appeal of the accessories will affect the bloodline concentration of the evolved Luoshui Fish & Yao Nu Fish.)

Qiao Bai: "..."

Who could have imagined such an evolutionary requirement?

Not difficult.

But it's bizarre.

Qiao Bai rubbed his forehead.

Forget it.

Hasn't he seen enough bizarre and extraordinary biological evolutionary requirements?

I should have gotten used to it by now.

Moreover, this evolution method is not difficult. As long as the beast tamer of the Rainbow Scaled Fish is dedicated enough, the evolution can be accomplished with ease.

Qiao Bai doesn't need to worry about it.

Once everything is settled, we'll announce it, and Qiao Bai will be able to steal skills from the evolved [Luoshui Fish & Yao Nu Fish].

Overall, Qiao Bai was very satisfied.

"The ornaments are a process by which the rainbow finfish pursues its own beauty. When its beauty reaches a certain level, the rainbow finfish will change, just like the rainbow finfish evolves into a spotted fish."

Just a few words.

A look of sudden realization crossed Müller's face.

Understood.

While understanding, Muller felt that what Jobey said made a lot of sense.

That's exactly right!

The evolution of the variegated fish into the spotted fish is also because the fish has reached a certain level of "beauty".

However, this evolutionary process relies on "recognition," on beauty recognized from the outside world. Professor Qiao Bai went against the grain and pursued his own beauty, which is not wrong!

Why didn't anyone think of that before?

Muller stroked his chin.

"...Phew—Professor Qiao Bai, you explained it so simply that it almost gave me the illusion that 'I could do it too.' Calm down, calm down. It seems I still haven't mastered it enough!" Muller sighed.

It's not that no one thought of it.

Professor Qiao Bai is too amazing; he even thought of this!

It's not just a thought.

He was also able to explain the principles to someone like him who had never been involved in this industry before in the simplest way.

Professor Qiao Bai is truly amazing!

Müller gave a heartfelt thumbs-up.

Thumbs up for Qiao Bai.

Qiao Bai: Smiling.jpg

……

Through Muller, Su Fang and Su Zhengming also learned the significance of Qiao Bai asking them to do this.

The two people, who were already very serious, became even more serious now.

They wanted to discuss every detail of making the jewelry with the Rainbow-Patterned Linfish, to make sure it perfectly matched the Rainbow-Patterned Linfish's aesthetic. Then, as they were making the jewelry, the two of them... no, the three of them, all discovered a problem.

"Only those who are beautiful will be genuinely recognized and agreed to a contract by the Rainbow-patterned Scaled Fish... I used to think this was nonsense, after all, those oddly-looking men in our Su Family Village have also formed contracts with Rainbow-patterned Scaled Fish... But now that I see it..."

Su Zhengming looked at the ornaments made according to his aesthetic of the colorful unicorn fish—rough, wild, and unkempt beauty.

Then look at the ornaments that Su Fang made based on her aesthetic of colorful unicorns—magnificent, luxurious, and sparkling.

Su Zhengming remained silent.

"Uncle... I remember those uncles in the village who tried to contract with the Rainbow-patterned Qilin Fish several times before they succeeded?" Su Fang recalled and said in a low voice.

Su Zhengming: "..."

Su Zhengming nodded: "That's right."

The colorful unicorn is easy to catch and has a good contract with.

As long as there is a beast tamer in the village to help, a suitable colorful unicorn fish can be found.

defeat.

contract.

In short, this is the process.

But sometimes things don't go smoothly. After defeating three or five Rainbow-striped Fish in a row, none of them would agree to form a contract. But no one cared; they would just look for another one.

It's easy to find; you can always find a colorful bream that's willing to sign a contract.

The villagers hadn't taken it to heart before, thinking it was just a matter of luck and had nothing to do with being beautiful or ugly.

Haven't all the good-looking and not-so-good-looking people been contracted with the Rainbow-patterned Qilin Fish?

Looking at it now, it's not a problem at all, it's a huge problem!

The colorful unicorn fish truly requires a certain aesthetic sense from the beast tamer!

The colorful unicorn will seek out a beast tamer who matches its aesthetic preferences!

Su Fang and Su Zhengming: "..."

My feelings are a bit complicated.

The two, who were decades apart in age, exchanged a glance and then silently looked away.

Sigh... if this gets back to the village...

what.

well.

The entertainment options for the next six months are now set.

So why would they refuse?

Send it back.

We must send this message back once they disembark!

It wasn't because they wanted to watch the spectacle; they just wanted to share some useful tips about the colorful bream with their village.

They were absolutely kind-hearted.

It took three whole days to collect all five ornaments and complete the crafting process. During the journey, the yacht passed by some other [corrupted] extraordinary creatures.

[Darkening] The supernatural creatures were eliminated.

Normal, non-corrupted supernatural beings that have not been corrupted by ominous energy should be eliminated if they provoke you. You can also use their scales, bones, and other parts to make ornaments.

The main principle is to avoid waste.

Based on his analysis of the degree of corruption of these corrupted supernatural beings he encountered, Qiao Bai adjusted his course in a timely manner, heading towards a location closer to the "source".

"Your ornaments..." As soon as Qiao Bai came out of the cabin, he saw two colorful unicorn fish whose necks, fins, sides of their bodies and tails were covered with ornaments.

I'll say it again.

Qiao Bai could understand perfectly why no one had discovered this evolutionary method before.

The colorful unicorn fish had these things piled up on its body, which looked really strange.

Moreover, it becomes somewhat of a hindrance when swimming.

A normal beast tamer, no matter how much they pamper their pets, would not add these cumbersome-looking accessories to water-type or aquatic pets.

Qiao Bai: As expected.

The more undiscovered an evolutionary path is, the more likely it is to have either overly stringent or bizarre requirements that a normal person would never even imagine.

"Professor Qiao Bai, is this all?" In just a few days, the more Su Fang and Su Zhengming communicated with the colorful unicorn and refined the aesthetics of the ornaments, the more convinced they became of Qiao Bai.

Putting aside other things.

The colorful unicorn became very excited after receiving the ornaments.

Although they haven't reached the point where they can evolve, this high level of enthusiasm will make both nurturing and training much more effective.

...Those ornaments are just a little bit in the way.

of course.

These things are understandable given the significant benefits involved.

"That's fine."

Looking at the two brightly colored beasts, which had completely different styles, they looked surprisingly harmonious together with their beast tamers. Qiao Bai was both amused and exasperated.

"Let's wait a few days and see. In the meantime, you can try making some other accessories. I think five pieces is just a starting point; the more the better."

Qiao Bai couldn't say for sure how many days, nor could he determine now whether the amount of jewelry affected the concentration of blood... but more is definitely better.

Su Fang and Su Zhengming made an OK sign.

"Don't worry, Professor Qiao Bai, we know what we're doing."

The two did not stop after reaching five items, but continued to try using other things, such as parts of the extraordinary creatures they encountered on their journey, beautiful gems, or teeth of extraordinary creatures that they had saved before... and so on.

Make full use of all available resources at hand, on body, and around you.

The main point is to ensure that no one is left out.

at last.

On the sixth day of their trip.

The two rainbow-colored unicorns evolved simultaneously.

It happened to be daytime.

The yacht had just stopped, and everyone was conducting inspections. Halfway through... wait? There's light?

Su Fang and Su Zhengming hadn't reacted yet.

Muller, who had been waiting for the Rainbow-Patterned Scaled Fish to evolve, reacted first: "Rainbow-Patterned Scaled Fish! It must have evolved!"

The remaining two then realized what was happening.

They rushed upwards and caught up with the awe-inspiring scene of the Rainbow-patterned Fish evolving.

The light emanating from the two Rainbow-patterned Scaled Fish seemed to merge on one side, but upon closer inspection, it became clear that the edges of the evolutionary light did not actually intersect; this was simply because the two Rainbow-patterned Scaled Fish were too close together.

In the light, the body of the colorful-striped fish continued to grow larger and larger... gradually changing from a one-meter-long fish to twice its original size.

the most important is.

The two colorful chevrons have different body shapes.

Su Fang: "?"

Su Zhengming: "?"

Müller: "?"

The three of them looked at the evolving Rainbow-Patterned Scaled Fish, and then simultaneously turned their gaze to Qiao Bai, as if they wanted to ask him if he knew what was going on.

Qiao Bai touched his chin in surprise.

Judging from the panel, the Rainbow-striped Scalefish does indeed have two completely different evolutionary paths using the same evolutionary route.

Luoshui Fish

【Yao Girl Fish】

But Qiao Bai didn't expect that these two colorful-patterned fish would evolve into these two different forms respectively.

Qiao Bai identified one of them as Su Zhengming's colorful unicorn fish. Its body had become larger and thicker, but it was still in the shape of a fish, lying horizontally in the water.

The other one should be Su Fang's Rainbow-patterned Qilin Fish. Its body shape changed from swimming horizontally in the water to standing upright. Its body became taller, but it had a light and graceful posture that was visible to the naked eye and could not be completely concealed even when shrouded in the light of evolution.

at last.

The light of evolution has completely faded.

Two evolved rainbow-colored unicorns appeared in front of Qiao Bai.

Qiao Bai was silent for a moment.

Well... one of them is very beautiful, and the other looks like a fish.

Su Zhengming's Rainbow Scale Fish evolves into the [Luoshui Fish].

It was so long... well, it could only be described as resembling a fish. Its length increased from about one meter to five meters!

Each of its scales is the size of an adult man's palm.

The colors all over its body... were still a riot of colors.

However, the vibrant colors of bright colors, the vibrant colors of macaron colors, the vibrant colors of Morandi colors, and... the vibrant colors of zombie colors are still different.

Yep.

It's very mysterious, that's all Qiao Bai can say. It's a very mysterious dark color scheme.

Qiao Bai opened his talent skills and took a look.

The raging waves, towering billows, and endless torrents of water have tremendous destructive power and can unleash three times or more of its own attack power for a short period of time (can be used for up to three minutes, with a cooldown time of one to three days)】

Qiao Bai: "..."

Regardless of whether the ceaseless flow of water has great destructive power, the appearance of the Luoshui fish is quite lethal.

And this bloodline... Kun.

What kind of Kun?

Is it the "Kun" in "Kunpeng"?

Qiao Bai thought of Xiao Wu's three-legged golden crow bloodline again, and a new idea vaguely came to mind.

However... before Qiao Bai could be too shocked, he saw that the level of bloodline awakening was only 1%, which was practically non-existent.

Qiao Bai touched his chin again. This was really...

Then Qiao Bai turned his gaze to the other evolved Rainbow Scale Fish beside him.

【Yao Girl Fish】

Unlike the strangely ugly Luoshui fish, the Yao Nu fish is absolutely stunning in appearance.

This is the real mermaid!

Not only Qiao Bai, but everyone present had the same thought in their minds.

A body with only half the strength.

The macaron-colored pink, blue, and white color scheme, along with what appears to be fish fins on the outside of the body, resembles a light veil draped over the body after evolution, subtly revealing a faint purple hue, making the [Yao Nu Yu] even more beautiful.

The head also evolved from a purely fish-like shape to a shape that is more beast-like.

The fish elements on her clothes don't look out of place at all; on the contrary, they accentuate her mermaid-like qualities.

Qiao Bai took another look using his innate skill.

[Pet: Yao Nu Yu]

[Attribute: Water + Fairy]

[Variety: Intermediate to High-End]

[Level: Low-level Tier 5]

[Skills: Water Cannon, Water Barrier, ..., Water's Gentle Kiss]

[Successfully evolved*]

[Bloodline: Kun]

Bloodline Awakening: 1.4%

[Talent Skill: Tide]

【Tides: The tranquil tides surge continuously, peaceful and soothing, yet impossible to ignore. They can unleash extremely powerful soothing abilities for a short period (within their area of ​​effect, all extraordinary beings lose their will to fight, lasting up to ten minutes, with a cooldown period ranging from one to five days)】

Well……

Qiao Bai hadn't expected that the bloodline of the Yao Nu Fish was the same as that of the Luo Shui Fish.

But then I thought about it again and it didn't seem strange at all.

They evolved using the same method.

It's strange that it might randomly evolve into either the Luoshui Fish or the Yao Nu Fish.

But after looking at the talent skills of [Luoshui Fish] and [Yao Nu Fish], Qiao Bai no longer found it strange.

Just like the description in the talent skill.

Both the Luoshui fish and the Yaonu fish have the ability to control water.

However, water has both a turbulent and a tranquil side. Water has no fixed form, and the Rainbow-striped Scaled Fish, which can control some water after evolution, is naturally not a single evolutionary form.

The Luoshui fish and the Yaonu fish each occupy one side of the water.

Qiao Bai: That makes sense.

"Old Su, your Rainbow Scale Fish evolved... just like you! Look at that young girl's, that's what you call a mermaid!" Muller said slyly from the side.
