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

Chapter 160 Qiao Bai: Stereotypes about the Legion? The New Bloodline Awakening is...

"If it's the Eighth Army Corps, why is it the Fourth Army Corps that applied to borrow me?"

Shouldn't it be the Eighth Legion asking him for the evolution plan of the Rainbow-Patterned Scaled Fish?

Pyeongjun City.

This is the largest grassland and forest area in the country, bordered to the north by a vast grassland that seems to stretch as far as the eye can see, with a few groves of trees in between.

Sparsely populated.

Apart from some roaming residents.

The largest remaining force, and the most obvious landmark, is the camp of the North China Military Region stationed here.

Amidst a vibrant green landscape, there is a continuous cluster of buildings, like a winding spine built on this grassland, upright, sturdy, and never yielding.

Outside the building complex, there is a river that glistens in the sunlight.

The road winds its way down, traversing most of the grassland, with its sloping branches forming lakes of all sizes, which constitute the largest source of water for the grassland.

This is the location of the Fourth Army Corps.

As the largest grassland garrison, their pets are all grassland creatures, various four-legged, furry, winged... there are some, but not many.

"Commander! The Fifth Army has called us!"

A man who looked to be in his forties, with a dark brown scar on his left cheek, strode toward a wide-open training ground in the center of the building, shouting as he went.

There were more than one or two people on the training field.

A group of men who didn't seem particularly muscular at first glance, but upon closer inspection, it was clear that their muscles were not just for show, but the result of real combat training, all looked in the direction of the scarred man.

The scarred man suddenly stopped in his tracks.

Ah... this...

Who would have thought there would be so many people at the training ground today?

"What are you all doing here! Get back to training!" Upon seeing this, the scarred man immediately put on a stern face, trying to regain his composure.

It is a pity.

Failed.

"Hehehe! Vice Commander, why do you think we're here?"

"So our regiment really beat the Fifth Army to the punch and submitted a secondment request to Professor Qiao Bai?"

"Well done! Deputy Commander, you're a real man!"

I love you!

The scarred man, Lin Wentian, the deputy commander of the Fourth Legion, couldn't help but show a look of disgust when faced with such a large group of old men making faces.

What love or anything!

"Are you trying to disgust people here?!"

Lin Wentian rolled his eyes at them, wiped his face, and didn't care about the kids blocking the way.

Compared to him and the regimental commander, most of these young men were between their twenties and thirties.

Hearing that their pets might evolve, and even have a specially customized evolution path... they were all so excited they couldn't speak. They couldn't even train properly, so they had to come to the training ground to release their excess passion.

Lin Wentian looked directly at the regimental commander, Zhao Yan.

"Don't worry about them." Zhao Yan was about the same age as Lin Wentian, but he looked more rugged and his expression was more natural.

What?

A phone call from the Fifth Army?

Not afraid at all.

Since he dared to jump the gun, he was prepared to face the Fifth Legion.

"Their commander said he wants to come see you in person."

In a single sentence, Zhao Yan's expression changed instantly.

With a laugh, Zhao Yan, who had been sitting and sunbathing, quickly stood up, patting his butt: "Hey, Lao Lin, you're the deputy commander, it's not impossible for you to entertain Lao Wu. As for the rest..."

"You're absolutely not going to escape this time." Lin Wentian's eyes narrowed as he watched Zhao Yan's practiced movements and heard his familiar words.

"Even if you run now, where can you run to?"

"Not to mention there are still matters to be handed over to Professor Qiao Bai."

"Most importantly..."

At this point, Lin Wentian paused, his narrowed eyes revealing a murderous intent: "I know you want to borrow Professor Qiao Bai to strengthen our Fourth Legion."

"But have you considered Professor Qiao Bai's perspective?"

Without even a word?

Suddenly a secondment request was submitted?

How will Professor Qiao Bai view them now?!

Zhao Yan: "...Ahem, Lin Zi, doesn't this seem to be the one who's the leader...?"

"A commander who has failed in his duties and is unqualified," Lin Wentian said without any shame.

With his neck stiffened.

He seemed to think, "Go ahead and try to take me down if you dare."

Zhao Yan: "..."

No ability, no ability.

The fact that he, as the guild leader, can usually have such a relaxed life, spending most of his time raising his own pets, is largely thanks to the efforts of the vice-guild leader.

I chickened out.

"Isn't this the only way to get ahead of the Fifth Army?" Zhao Yan muttered under his breath, "This is a decisive blow!"

Lin Wentian: "...This is shameless!"

The Fifth Legion was still diligently following procedures, preparing to contact Qiao Bai in a more polite manner, first obtaining Qiao Bai's personal consent, and then inviting him over.

This is a fairly standard procedure.

Who would have thought.

Their shameless leader interfered and submitted a secondment application first. It's said that the application has already reached Qingniao University.

Zhao Yan acted first and reported later.

He was also the regimental commander.

Only after the task was completed did those subordinates realize what else they could do.

On one hand, they had to face the "friendly condolences" from the brother legion, and on the other hand, they had to express to Professor Qiao Bai that they really were not forcing anyone to buy or sell.

It wasn't a forced secondment.

Professor Qiao Bai has a choice.

Zhao Yan felt a little guilty under the stare. He was about to cough a couple more times when, for some reason, he became confident again.

"This isn't my fault; I was doing it for everyone's benefit!"

"Compared to the Fifth Army Corps' advantageous mountainous terrain, our Fourth Army Corps faces far greater difficulties!"

"This godforsaken place we're stationed in is worse than a forbidden place."

"If I had to say who has it harder than us, I would only admit that the First Legion stationed in Star City has it harder."

"The problem is that everyone in the First Legion has a dragon, so we don't need to worry about it."

"If you don't come up with a solution, how are we supposed to get through this year?"

At first, Zhao Yan's tone carried a hint of roguishness, but as he spoke, he gradually became serious, and finally he let out a long sigh.

Lin Wentian, who had just been about to criticize Zhao Yan, also fell silent.

Everyone else on the training field looked quietly in the direction of their commander, Zhao Yan, their eyes filled with indescribable emotion.

"...Commander!"

You really love us!

Lin Wentian sighed.

Just as Regiment Commander Zhao Yan said, their Fourth Army Corps is a grassland warfare corps. While stationed here, they are also responsible for the security and safety of the surrounding area.

To better deter those savage and extraordinary creatures.

Therefore, for them, there are only a few suitable contracted pets.

Lions, specifically the Lesser Lion Beast, ultimately evolve into the Blood Lion King.

Leopards, specifically the square leopard, ultimately evolved into the swift leopard.

One focuses on combat power.

One that emphasizes speed.

Then you also need to have extensive experience in fighting enemies.

Their annual conscription is a huge problem.

The beast tamers who are willing to come may not be a good match for them, and those who are a good match may not be someone they would even consider good enough – those without any foundation or skills, even if recruited, will not stay long.

The Fourth Army Corps' geographical location was already special.

Without mandatory conscription, there aren't as many beast tamers willing to be stationed in such desolate places where they constantly face attacks from numerous supernatural creatures, or even life-threatening situations... as you might imagine.

The Fourth Army Corps has many veterans around forty years old who have served for more than ten years.

The number of young people who dare to take risks and make breakthroughs is the smallest.

If this continues... the Fourth Army's demotion will be a minor issue.

If we can't defend the grasslands... sigh!

Researching new evolutionary paths for extraordinary creatures would be ideal, especially finding new evolutionary routes for the Little Lion Beast and Fangfang Leopard, whether it's enhancing the evolved pet's combat power, speed, or reducing the difficulty of evolution...

After it was promoted.

The improvement in the combat effectiveness of their legion is one aspect.

The fact that more beast tamers are willing to contract with these two extraordinary creatures, giving them more options when recruiting soldiers, is another matter entirely.

A two-pronged approach.

It always manages to play some unexpected roles.

Zhao Yan sighed.

Lin Wentian sighed.

The other soldiers sighed along with them.

Zhao Yan stepped forward and patted Lin Wentian on the shoulder: "Go and communicate with the Fifth Legion again. Everyone has their difficulties; let's be tolerant and understanding of each other!"

"Besides, Professor Qiao Bai is said to be incredibly awesome!"

"Even if we don't believe it, we have to believe Professor Qiao Bai!" Zhao Yan, who was originally quite serious, revealed his true colors after a few words and could no longer be serious at all.

He put his arm around Lin Wentian's shoulder and winked, saying, "Maybe Professor Qiao Bai can figure out our pet evolution plan just by taking a look!"

"We can move on to the next event in no time!"

Lin Wentian slapped Zhao Yan's hand off his shoulder with a look of disgust, his voice and expression clearly showing his disdain for Zhao Yan.

"Seriously!"

"Professor Qiao Bai is indeed very capable, but please have a proper understanding of the difficulty of researching new pet evolution routes."

Do they really treat pet evolution research like eating and drinking?

Did you think it was something that could be solved in a flash of inspiration, with just a blink of an eye?

Lin Wentian was tired of complaining about how eccentric and outrageous his team leader was.

Zhao Yan chuckled: "It's just that everyone says Professor Qiao Bai is amazing, so that's why I think..."

cough cough.

Who knows?

Qiao Bai is a genius!

An extraordinary genius!

It's not entirely incomprehensible that their strength is this formidable, right?

Lin Wentian: "..."

"Forget it, forget it." Lin Wentian waved his hand at Zhao Yan. "Go somewhere cool and stay there. Don't cause us any more trouble. We still need to apologize to Professor Qiao Bai and convey our goodwill to him as much as possible."

"We absolutely cannot let people think we are not good people."

Lin Wentian muttered to himself, completely ignoring Zhao Yan beside him.

Zhao Yan: Sigh!

No worries!

Let's go find his commander!

Let's discuss how to welcome Professor Qiao Bai when he arrives.

We must show them our utmost sincerity!

……

New York City.

Faced with Qiao Bai's doubts and questions, Zhou Xinran immediately understood what Qiao Bai was thinking.

She calmly shrugged: "Theoretically speaking, that's how it is."

"but--"

But again, there's a "but".

Qiao Bai didn't want to hear "but" anymore.

But what's meant to happen will happen eventually.

"But the evolution plan for the Rainbow-patterned Scaled Fish has already been developed, and it's only a matter of time before it's put into use." Zhou Xinran, who was wearing high heels, was a little tired from standing. She moved closer to Qiao Bai, put her hand on Qiao Bai's body, and changed to a more comfortable position.

Qiao Bai felt a soft touch against one side of his body, the pressure on him increased, and a faint fragrance lingered around his nose.

Qiao Bai's body stiffened.

want to escape.

Can't escape.

Zhou Xinran smiled and said softly, "Besides, the evolution method of the Rainbow-Striped Scaled Fish is simple. Even if it is verified, it will only take ten days to half a month at most, right?"

Qiao Bai ignored Zhou Xinran's soft, fragrant breath as she approached and nodded even more calmly.

"That's right, it's already being arranged."

"If things go smoothly, a week should be enough."

Ten days to half a month?

That's too long.

He hadn't spent this much time even when resources for making ornaments on the ship were scarce.

He's currently at his own research institute.

No matter what resources and materials you have, you can use them whenever you want, but why would it take ten days or half a month?

Qiao Bai looked down on himself.

This is such a waste of his time.

Seeing Qiao Bai's confidence, Zhou Xinran raised an eyebrow, and at the same time couldn't help but feel a little emotional.

Ah ~

Qiao Bai is growing up at an incredibly fast pace!

Zhou Xinran originally wanted to experience the fun of raising pets, but he didn't expect that in the blink of an eye, Qiao Bai's status in the field of pet evolution had caught up with his, not to mention Qiao Bai's achievements... they are incomparable, completely incomparable.

Even someone like Zhou Xinran, a professor of pet evolution who is considered one of the best among the younger generation, couldn't help but feel a little jealous after seeing Qiao Bai's achievements.

Human nature.

It's perfectly normal to feel jealous as long as you can control yourself.

Zhou Xinran is very good at adjusting her mindset.

However, I still occasionally have the urge to tease Qiao Bai.

Young people are just so fun!

pity.

I must say again, Qiao Bai has grown up incredibly fast.

"Hmph~" Zhou Xinran chuckled a few times.

"Therefore, the Eighth Legion is not in a hurry. The evolution plan for the Rainbow-patterned Scaled Fish is already a done deal for them."

"The new evolutionary path of the Rainbow-Patterned Qilin Fish is the Luoshui Fish and the Yao Nu Fish... The Beastmaster of the Luoshui Fish has also stepped forward and demonstrated the Luoshui Fish's combat power."

"Then there's that blogger's article analyzing the combat power of the Yao Nu Yu."

Both the Luoshui fish and the Yaonu fish are incredibly powerful in combat.

and.

The Yao fish also has a major advantage – its appearance.

The pastel color scheme of pink, blue, white and purple makes Yao Nu Yu look dreamlike and ethereal, like a fairy descending to earth.

Who wouldn't want to marry a fairy?

Women can't refuse.

Men can't resist either!

Qiao Bai: "..."

Yes.

He truly hadn't anticipated this wave of trouble.

The Legion... Qiao Bai hadn't paid much attention to it before.

If we have to talk about someone who has had contact with the Legion, then it should be Zhang Hongyi, whom we fought before. He comes from a military compound, right?

Then, in the blink of an eye, the other person was taken away by Yulong.

"The other legions were in an uproar when they heard the news," Zhou Xinran continued, a smile that was hard to describe on her lips. "Different legions have different styles and habits."

"Depending on their main combat areas, the types of pets they contract are also different. Apart from the Ninth Legion, each of the other eight legions consists of extraordinary creatures that specialize in a certain attribute."

Qiao Bai nodded.

It's not that I can't understand it.

When a large number of extraordinary creatures with the same attribute unite to fight, they can often achieve unexpected results, especially when they specialize in a single attribute or are proficient in a particular attribute.

"Furthermore, there are a few legions where all the beast tamers' contracted pets are of the same breed, or even the same race."

"Just like I mentioned the Eighth Legion, while specializing in water-attribute extraordinary creatures, each of them also possesses a Rainbow-patterned Scaled Fish."

Qiao Bai: ...6

"Is the Fourth Legion in a similar situation?" Qiao Bai guessed.

Zhou Xinran gave Qiao Bai a look.

Qiao Bai immediately understood Zhou Xinran's meaning.

Yep.

He guessed right.

"Yes," Zhou Xinran said with a smile.

"Actually, more than one legion wants to invite you to join their ranks. Apart from the special First Legion and Ninth Legion, and the Eighth Legion which doesn't need you for the time being and can just wait for food, the other six legions are fiercely competing online through their official channels to get priority in inviting you to join their ranks."

At this point, Zhou Xinran's voice couldn't help but carry a hint of teasing, and her gaze towards Qiao Bai gradually became strange.

"Because of this, netizens have given you a nickname."

Qiao Bai: "?"

I have a bad feeling.

Qiao Bai was about to refuse on the spot: "Actually, you didn't have to say it."

Netizens jokingly call you the modern-day Helen Keller.

Qiao Bai: "..."

He should first lament how bored the netizens are.

Or is it better to complain that even in a different world, there are still similar figures in history and mythology?

If all else fails, let's do both at the same time.

Netizens are bored, and history is also very much worth criticizing.

Learning something that is similar yet different, clearly different after the intervention of supernatural beings, China has always been the world's number one superpower, but suddenly a sense of familiarity and overlap in history pops up. Qiao Bai feels that he doesn't have a split personality because his brain is strong enough.

"...So the Fourth Army won in the end?" Qiao Bai decided to skip the topic.

He politely declined the nickname.

Helen and all that? No, it's really not that bad.

He's not that awesome yet.

Fortunately, Zhou Xinran didn't dwell on the nickname too much and cooperated with Qiao Bai to change the subject.

No.

"?"

"The Fifth Legion won the online argument, but the Fourth Legion went even further, claiming it was related to you, and preemptively submitted a temporary transfer application. The Fifth Legion was a step behind... cough cough."

Qiao Bai: "..."

No need to say anything more.

Removing the filter, or rather, putting on some stereotypical filters, Qiao Bai didn't find the story's development and direction strange at all.

This perfectly matches some of his strange impressions and perceptions of the military.

Qiao Bai shook his head with amusement, shook the paper in his hand, and fell into thought.

Should I say yes or no...?

"You can think about it some more." As if sensing Qiao Bai's dilemma, Zhou Xinran moved closer to Qiao Bai and said in a low, amused voice, "Although this document is nominally for a temporary transfer, the real choice is still in your hands."

"Sending you a temporary transfer document like this without your consent... well, I think you should definitely think about it more."

Qiao Bai raised an eyebrow.

He understood the meaning in Zhou Xinran's tone.

Seems a little unhappy?

It's as if they're standing up for him?

Qiao Bai smiled.

He understood Zhou Xinran's thoughts and felt warmed by her concern for him.

Although I have no relatives or friends here.

But there are always companions, relatives, elders, teachers, and love in this world who care about him... well, the last one is not yet available.

How can one have a home when the great cause is not yet accomplished?

Don't get involved in anything romantic or lovey-dovey.

Qiao Bai: Heart as still as water.jpg

"Hmm... Speak of the devil and he appears." Qiao Bai's phone suddenly rang.

Qiao Bai made a gesture to Zhou Xinran, and finally managed to extricate himself from that soft embrace, going to the side to answer a phone call.

I replied very quickly.

Zhou Xinran gave Qiao Bai a questioning look.

"It was a call from the Fourth Legion, conveying their message," Qiao Bai said, waving his hand dismissively.

In fact, he had no grudge against the Fourth Army's actions.

The document regarding this temporary transfer was actually quite lenient, without any particularly forceful wording. Although it was described as a temporary transfer, it was more like an invitation.

Qiao Bai touched his chin.

"I need to go back and think about it."

Zhou Xinran gave Qiao Bai an OK sign.

"Of course."

"There's no need to rush into a decision."

"Besides, you just resolved the problem in Lingbo City not long ago, so you need to relax a bit." Although she was in Jinyang City, Zhou Xinran could still find out about Qiao Bai's affairs and movements if she paid attention.

Not to mention that Qiao Bai later researched a new evolutionary path for the Rainbow-Patterned Linfish, and his trip to Lingbo City was dug up by countless netizens.

Then, from some gossipy people, he learned why Qiao Bai was researching the evolutionary plan for the Rainbow-striped Scaled Fish—

It is said that he was bored on the ship, so he decided to use his free time to study the new evolution path of pets.

Even the pet animals used for research were selected on short notice.

Netizens who now know Qiao Bai's complete thought process are speechless.

The difference between people is so huge!

Some people.

You could never figure out a few new evolutionary paths for pets in your entire life.

Some people.

However, they treated researching new evolutionary paths for pets as a way to relax.

No wonder they're so amazing.

So this is the difference between how mortals and immortals think.

What seems incredibly difficult to them is as easy as playing a game to the gods, with no challenge whatsoever.

smile

Qiao Bai accepted the document and returned to his brand-new office, whose overall layout was not much different from Zhou Xinran's next-door office.

Not long after he sat down, Qiao Bai received another phone call.

Upon hearing it—

Oh wow.

The Fifth Army Corps.

"...So what you mean is?" Qiao Bai asked uncertainly to the Fifth Legion, which, in theory, had won the right to invite him first through the online competition.

"Yes," came the voice on the other end of the phone. "We hope you can go to the Fourth Army first."

Qiao Bai: "?"

Are you two really that close?

Qiao Bai was shocked.

Hearing the silence on Qiao Bai's end, Qiu Lie, the commander of the Fifth Legion and the person in charge of contacting Qiao Bai, gave a helpless bitter laugh on the phone.

"I know Professor Qiao, you must be curious why I agreed to let you go to the Fourth Legion first, right?"

Qiao Bai: I am indeed curious.

"I didn't extend an invitation to you immediately for two reasons. Firstly, I wanted to better show you my respect and communicate with you in a better way and with a better image. Secondly, it's because... we're not in as much of a hurry as the Fourth Legion."

If they really get desperate...

Just like the Fourth Army.

Why bother with all that nonsense?

Let's get in touch with them first!

As for whether Qiao Bai agrees or not...

Whoops!

How can you be sure if you don't try?

First come, first served.

Maybe Qiao Bai will agree?

Those who came later could only wait.

The Fourth Army, in even greater haste, did just that.

"Hmm..." Qiao Bai pondered for a moment, "Alright, actually I was still considering it."

"But hearing that you, Commander Qiu, also vouched for the Fourth Army Corps means that the situation there is indeed quite serious, right?"

"Then I'll go take a look first."

"After all, we are all soldiers who protect the country and the people, and we deserve respect. It is my duty to do my part to contribute to this cause."

Hearing Qiao Bai's words, Qiu Lie was deeply moved.

Qiao Bai's words were really too nice to hear.

What I'm saying is because of him... cough cough, there are other parts, but they're not very important. Isn't it all because of Old Qiu's sake?

Qiu Lie felt relieved once again, and then couldn't help but mutter a few complaints to Qiao Bai in a low voice.

"Let me tell you, Professor Qiao Bai, when you go to the Fourth Army Corps, you don't need to be polite to Old Zhao, or even their regimental commander."

"That's a reckless bastard!"

"You can tell just by the fact that you acted first and asked for permission before we could."

"He could have just talked to us and discussed it. I, Lao Qiu, am not an unreasonable person, and I know his situation is difficult. I would definitely have agreed."

Although it was inevitable that Zhao Yan would be extorted severely during this process.

For example, Zhao Yancun's fondness for fine cigarettes and alcohol... cough cough.

None of that matters.

Most importantly—he'll definitely agree in the end!

Zhao Yan is simply unreasonable.

They bypassed him and contacted Qiao Bai directly.

If it weren't for his good nature and understanding of Zhao Yan's and the Fourth Army's difficulties, he would have gone to Zhao Yan's door to argue with him.

"Anyway, Professor Qiao Bai, after you go to the Fourth Army Corps, if you have any questions, you can contact their deputy commander, Lin Wentian. If that doesn't work, you can contact their commander, Zhang Fanshan. They are all reliable."

Qiao Bai paused suddenly as he listened.

kindness?

I don't know why.

Suddenly I have a feeling... like it's familiar?

Where is the Fourth Army Corps stationed again?

Qiao Bai checked it out.

North China region.

Commander Zhang Fanshan… Zhang… “What is the relationship between Zhang Hongyi and this Commander Zhang Fanshan?”

Qiao Bai thought of someone he had only remembered today.

Qiu Lie on the other end of the phone was also taken aback when he heard Zhang Hongyi's name, but then he realized what he meant: "Hongyi, right! By the way, Professor Qiao Bai, you participated in the competition jointly organized by Yulong and Honghu before, so you must know this kid."

"Hongyi is Zhang Fanshan's son, and he's incredibly powerful! At such a young age, his little lion beast has already evolved into the Blood Lion King; he's truly a prodigy!"

Qiu Lie paused for a moment, then said, "Of course, I'm still a bit behind Professor Qiao Bai."

Qiu Lie wanted to complain.

It's more than just a little bit.

There are a lot.

Qiao Bai's strength, coupled with his talent in pet evolution research... in short, is often to an absurd degree.

"When I talked to Lao Zhao on the phone before, he bragged about it to me more than once. I never expected that the kid would end up going to Changsha. Lao Zhao was so angry."

"But there's not much to say about it. Children have their own ideas, and we adults can't force them."

"Whether it's Xingcheng or the North China Military Region, they are ultimately protecting this country and doing things that are beneficial to it."

Qiao Bai smiled.

Yes.

Just like Zhang Hongyi, whether he stayed in the North China Military Region or went to Changsha at the invitation of Yulong University, he was doing his part.

The same applies to Qiao Bai.

Going to the Fifth Army Corps is fine, going to the Fourth Army Corps isn't a big problem either.

"Okay." Qiao Bai nodded. "Thank you for saying so much."

Qiao Bai could tell.

Every word Qiu Lie said was sincere.

When he spoke on behalf of the Fourth Legion and Zhao Yan, he was sincere, and when he introduced the people of the Fourth Legion to Qiao Bai, he was very thoughtful.

Qiao Bai accepted this kindness.

soon.

The Fourth Legion received a reply from Joe White.

Lin Wentian: "!"

"Okay, okay!"

Lin Wentian's eyes widened with joy.

"That's wonderful!"

Lin Wentian was so excited that he stood up and spun around twice, but he still couldn't calm down.

Zhang Fanshan, who was discussing documents with Lin Wentian, was left speechless.

"No, what's wrong with you suddenly being so happy?" Zhang Fanshan asked, his cold face showing a puzzled expression.

He suddenly went crazy while we were talking. Could it be that he's been in contact with the leader for too long and caught some unreliable virus from him?

Zhang Fanshan is already considering whether to further increase the distance he should maintain with the regimental commander.

Otherwise, if this infection continues, their legion will really run out of reliable people.

As the commander, he had to safeguard the entire legion's bottom line.

"Hehehe." Lin Wentian's face broke into a big smile.

He had no idea what absurd things Zhang Fanshan was thinking on his seemingly expressionless face; he was eagerly sharing his joy.

"What could possibly make me this happy lately?"

Zhang Fanshan was stunned for a moment upon hearing this, but then he realized what was going on.

"Could it be... that Professor Qiao Bai agreed to the invitation?" Zhang Fanshan's tone still carried a hint of disbelief.

It's really hard to believe.

Zhao Yan preemptively and unreliably issued a temporary transfer order before the Fifth Army Corps, a fact that Zhang Fanshan, as the commander, also knew about.

After learning the news.

Zhang Fanshan's first thought was: Qiao Bai won't agree.

He became famous at a young age.

He possesses layers upon layers of ever-accumulating halos and a brilliance that has never faded.

Although I haven't had much contact with Qiao Bai.

But in Zhang Fanshan's view, Qiao Bai should be a proud and arrogant young professor of pets.

Faced with a leader like theirs who doesn't know how to do things properly...

Yep.

A better scenario is to ignore it, disregard it, neither get angry nor agree.

In a worse scenario, it's not entirely impossible that they could be blacklisted by the Fourth Army.

But unexpectedly...

He actually agreed?

While shocked, Zhang Fanshan realized that his opinion of Qiao Bai might be somewhat wrong.

It seems necessary to find a way to understand Professor Qiao Bai from a more accurate perspective.

Subconsciously, Zhang Fanshan thought of his unfilial son.

Zhang Fanshan's face darkened instantly.

Not to mention.

"right!"

"Professor Qiao Bai has agreed!"

Lin Wentian, caught up in his excitement, was completely oblivious to the slight unease in Zhang Fanshan's emotions; he was simply immersed in his joy.

"We must expedite the arrangements for Professor Qiao Bai's treatment!"

"We definitely need merit points, but then what? And then what? You help me think of something too!"

Lin Wentian turned to look at Zhang Fanshan, who was sitting there motionless, and said urgingly.

Zhang Fanshan: "..."

Okay, okay.

No matter what.

Professor Qiao Bai's willingness to come to their Fourth Legion is an absolutely fantastic thing for them, and they should indeed show the sincerity they deserve.

Hopefully, Professor Qiao Bai's arrival and assistance will truly help them resolve the current predicament of the Fourth Army!

【Hmm, so sleepy. Why is the Beastmaster looking at me? Is it because I'm too pretty? Shy///Shy///】

Qiao Bai: "..."

Qiao Bai was shocked that the little jellyfish had awakened its bloodline before it had even evolved.

I was still amazed that the little jellyfish's inner thoughts could be expressed through emoticons, perfectly showcasing the little jellyfish's shy and timid emotions.

Yes.

After returning from Lingbo City, the little jellyfish entered a short period of dormancy.

Little Wu didn't.

Xiao Wu naturally increased the concentration of his bloodline at a rate of 0.5% per day. To date, the overall concentration of his bloodline has successfully increased from 21% to 23%, which is exactly an increase of 2%.

Before Qiao Bai could even feel happy,

Then the little jellyfish woke up too.

Our strength has increased.

not much.

However, compared to the hard-earned training of Little Crow, Cat Bug, and Little White Snake, Little Jellyfish's improvement in strength can truly be described as a painless, automatic boost.

As long as you eat.

Eat like crazy.

You can become stronger.

The little jellyfish's skills are also the result of Qiao Bai resetting and allocating skill points.

The original overly absurd skills were removed and replaced with offensive water-attribute skills and special attribute skills. This not only enhances the jellyfish's attack power but also ensures that the jellyfish is not truly evenly matched in battle.

That would be incredibly painful for the jellyfish's adversaries.

Just imagine that scene.

The opponent's pet skills were all sealed, leaving them only able to passively take hits.

However, the little jellyfish has no attack skills whatsoever. It can only wave its eight small tentacles and use its bare flesh to strike the opponent, which is no different from scratching.

It's good if the battle can be over in ten minutes.

If the battle can't be over in ten minutes...

That was the beginning of a new round of torment.

Just thinking about it makes Qiao Bai feel a little too horrified.

Forget it.

Do not make things difficult for your opponents.

Don't make things difficult for yourself.

Let's equip the little jellyfish with attack skills.

Qiao Bai still couldn't understand why the little jellyfish, despite consuming so many skills, only improved by such a small amount.

It's possible, probably, or perhaps it's because some indescribable variables occur during the conversion between energies, ultimately leading to this result.

but……

"I can understand that the Rainbow-striped Qilin Fish awakens the Kun bloodline after evolution, but why does the Box Poison Flower Jellyfish also awaken the Kun bloodline?"

Qiao Bai's face was filled with deep confusion.

that is.

Could the mythical creature "Kun" be something similar to a dragon?

The dragon has nine sons, all of whom are born in the form of a dragon... cough cough.

Don't say anything.

I know everything I need to know.

This is why there are many dragon species in the world, but not all dragon species are extraordinary creatures with dragon attributes.

Dragon-type extraordinary creatures can mate and reproduce with almost all extraordinary creatures, making them a species with zero reproductive isolation.

This led to the creation of many strange and unusual dragon species.

Is this Kun also in this situation?

They have many descendants.

So, all descendants, after their bloodline awakens, are Kun?

but……

Qiao Bai looked at the little jellyfish.

Its body is soft and fluffy, like a jelly slime.

It's so soft that you wonder if squeezing it with your hands will make it squirt water and produce strange "crunch crunch" or "plop plop" sounds.

It seems to have absolutely no connection to that creature in the ocean.

It seems to have no relation to the Rainbow-patterned Linfish, or the evolved Luoshui Fish and Yao Nu Fish.

Qiao Bai touched his chin.

"Forget it, I won't make things difficult for myself. Kun it is then." Qiao Bai touched the soft jellyfish cap of the little jellyfish.

Having just regained consciousness, the little jellyfish, its stomach growling with hunger, affectionately nuzzled against Qiao Bai's palm a few times.

Little Jellyfish: Beastmaster, hungry, hungry, food, eat!

Qiao Bai: "..."

The warmth lasted only a second.

They then fell into a feeding hell.

And I don't know if it's because I've been eating too much skill-based food, but my appetite has increased.

The compressed biscuits that I could barely eat half a meal of before... suddenly they're useless now.
