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

Chapter 223 The Perfect Evolutionary Path! Goddess of Dawn!

"No." Professor Li rubbed his forehead with one hand, his face showing utter shock. "You said you know about the new evolutionary path of the Hua Bird?"

"You knew all along?!"

Why are you only saying this now?

Qiao Bai calmly replied, "Oh, I forgot."

Professor Li: "..."

Oh, what a convenient excuse for forgetting!

Professor Li clutched his heart and remained silent for a long time.

Qiao Bai: "?"

"Professor Li, what's wrong? Are you having a heart attack?"

"No." Professor Li said calmly with a Zen-like expression, "I almost had a heart attack from all the scare you've given me, even though I don't have a heart condition."

What is this?

Is it a work-related injury?

"No, that doesn't count," Professor Rong said calmly.

Professor Li: "???"

"I didn't say anything!"

"I know your temper perfectly well." Professor Rong glanced calmly at Professor Li: "Don't think about it, anything can happen in dreams."

Professor Li: "Tch."

"Stop your tirade." Professor Rong remained unaffected by Professor Li's words, his expression still calm.

"If you insist on asking what this is, then it's probably retribution for your youthful arrogance."

Professor Li looked puzzled.

A big question mark appeared above Professor Li's head.

"That's what happens when you're a little rascal."

"Your favorite thing to do is use your talent to hurt others, and now you're getting your comeuppance."

Professor Rong looked at Qiao Bai, then glanced at Professor Li.

Her eyes held a hint of disdain for Professor Li.

Professor Li, who has been disliked by many people over the years, but has never seen any disdain in Professor Rong's eyes: "!"

This is going to cause trouble!

He's really going to cause trouble!

Upon seeing this, Professor Rong's expression became even more disgusted.

"What's all this commotion about?"

"Don't you have any sense of your age?"

"Professor Qiao is young and impetuous, it's just youthful arrogance."

"What's the point of making a fuss at your age? Do you have a Peter Pan inside you who never grows up?"

It turns out.

When someone who isn't usually sarcastic gets really venomous, the power is incredible.

Professor Li was stabbed so badly that he was covered in wounds.

He didn't want to say anything for the time being.

I'm done.

My mindset has truly become Zen.

Qiao Bai: "..."

cough cough.

So you're saying this development really has nothing to do with him?

"How about we first discuss the new evolutionary path of the Hua bird?"

"This should be more important."

Listen to what Qiao Bai said.

Professor Li and Professor Rong both snapped out of their earlier bickering and their expressions became serious.

You're right.

"This is the real business."

What Celia?

What Fire Cherry Blossom Country?

What youthful arrogance and old fogey?

These are not the main points.

The real focus should be on the Chinese bird!

A new evolutionary path!

One step ahead of Celia!

It's double the joy!

Double happiness!

Qiao Bai quickly wrote down the evolutionary requirements for the [Huaguang Peacock].

Professor Li was overwhelmed by the sheer number of resources available.

"That's really... I understand why you forgot." Professor Li patted Qiao Bai on the shoulder, showing an understanding expression.

understand.

I understand it better than I could ever understand it.

This evolutionary path doesn't involve much advanced technology.

Its main selling point is burning money.

Back when Qiao Bai was still an unknown newbie professor of pet beasts.

Even if Qiao Bai applied.

The league at that time would never have agreed to let Joe burn so much money.

"But the situation is different now." Professor Li thought of Qiao Bai's situation back then.

I thought Qiao Bai would forget because he couldn't apply for a research project on this evolutionary path, so he could only painfully force himself to forget.

I only remembered it today when I encountered the keyword.

Oh.

There's such a thing.

"Your reputation speaks for itself."

"And we all believe in you."

"Just do it this way! No changes needed at all!"

"If it succeeds, all the credit will be yours!"

"No one can take it away from you!"

As he spoke, Professor Li became excited.

Qiao Bai: "?"

amount.

"Wait?" Qiao Bai made a pause gesture.

"Professor Li, are you misunderstanding something?" Qiao Bai asked earnestly.

"I didn't apply for the project research on this evolutionary path at the time because I hadn't decided to become a professor of pet animals yet."

What kind of pet professor?

Wouldn't it be great to be a top-notch beast tamer?

Moreover.

"My first pet was a Hua Niao, so I studied its evolutionary path carefully back then."

"I chose a different evolutionary path for the Chinese bird."

"I've forgotten about that evolutionary path."

Qiao Bai's expression was so sincere it made one want to vomit blood.

Professor Li, caught up in his passion, felt that all his enthusiasm had been wasted.

Qiao Bai: Cough cough.

Although, but.

It's better to clear up any misunderstandings as soon as possible.

He really doesn't need this misunderstanding!

……

Having a precise evolutionary path plan provided by Qiao Bai is one thing.

Choosing a bird that can evolve into the [Radiant Peacock] is another matter entirely.

Yes.

Just like the evolutionary path of the Three-Legged Golden Crow.

Not all Hua birds can evolve into the [Huaguang Peacock].

Fortunately.

The National Research Institute truly lives up to its name, which includes "national" in its name.

In just two days, a total of eleven mutated Chinese birds were brought in from all over the country.

Qiao Bai looked around.

To my surprise, I discovered this.

Seven of them actually possess the [Huaguang Peacock] evolutionary path.

One of them was a little creature that looked very similar to the little crow that Qiao Bai first met.

pity.

The opponent also lacks the evolutionary path of the Three-Legged Golden Crow, possessing only the Radiant Peacock.

Seeing this, Qiao Bai couldn't help but touch his chin.

"So, am I some kind of chosen protagonist?"

How could he possibly encounter such a low-probability event?

He's definitely the main character!

"Chirp—"

Little Wu, unaware of what Qiao Bai was thinking, discovered from the Beast Taming Space in its spiritual sea that Qiao Bai was staring at a small creature that looked very similar to its past self.

Little Wu immediately bristled.

No!

You can't eat meal replacements!

Especially eating meal replacements in front of it!

Little Wu was furious and flew out of the Beast Taming Space in its mental sea.

First, its imposing presence terrified all the Chinese birds present, making them tremble in fear.

Immediately afterwards, Xiao Wu went straight for the culprit!

What?

Go and cause trouble for those Chinese birds?

No, no!

That's what a stupid bird would do!

The clever little crow chose to swat Qiao Bai across the face with one wing.

Qiao Bai's eyes, nose, and mouth were instantly covered by fluffy feathers.

"Calm down, calm down." Qiao Bai quickly reached out to Xiao Wu.

"Don't be angry, I was just looking, I didn't do anything!"

Xiao Wu: (￢_￢)

I'll give you a look.

Do you think birds believe that?

Qiao Bai patted Xiao Wu with a helpless expression.

"What kind of person do you take me for?"

Do you think I'm that kind of person?

Little Wu hummed and whined.

Actually, Qiao Bai could have easily coaxed him into being fine.

Qiao Bai and Xiao Wu are sticking together.

Not far away.

Celia's pet professor looked at Qiao Bai with an intense gaze... as he stroked the little crow.

"This is the most perfect evolutionary form of the Hua Niao that we've been searching for!"

"Please tell us how you did it!"

Nantong suddenly rushed towards Qiao Bai's direction.

I just want to hold Little Crow's paw...

Xiao Wu: Disdain.jpg

The moment Xiao Wu rushed over from Nantong, it flapped its wings and took flight.

Looking down at Nantong rushing towards them from their high vantage point.

Nantong: Stiff all over.jpg

When looking at it from a distance.

The only indication of its power and might is the small crow.

But unexpectedly.

They got closer.

This power even affected them, who were human.

The instant I was stared at by Xiao Wu's golden-red eyes.

Nantong felt as if he had stopped breathing.

It was an indescribable, ineffable fear!

Nantong, who was just excited, felt as if a bucket of cold water had been poured over him from head to toe.

My mind was so clear it couldn't be clearer.

At the same time, they also realized that...

This evolved Hua Bird is not one to be trifled with!

"Huh?" Qiao Bai was also somewhat surprised.

"You were able to recognize that Little Wu is a Chinese bird at a glance?"

This was the first time Qiao Bai had encountered this.

Xiao Wu itself is a mutated Chinese bird that doesn't resemble a Chinese bird at all.

After evolution.

It also looks similar to the Chinese bird.

Unless one is very familiar with the biological characteristics of the extraordinary creature, the Chinese bird, one can barely determine the species of the little bird from certain similar biological characteristics.

However, Qiao Bai was very certain.

Nantong recognized it at a glance.

Could it be some kind of special talent or skill?

Then the baby jellyfish can't be released.

Qiao Bai thought to himself.

He did not deliberately hide it.

But he didn't want others, especially people from a country that seemed to be at odds with China, to know.

He made a contract with a box of poisonous jellyfish.

This news will definitely cause a huge sensation once it gets out.

Qiao Bai :)

I didn't have that idea.

"No way, you didn't know?" Professor Li appeared out of nowhere.

He approached Qiao Bai with a smug look on his face.

Looking at the little bird circling above Qiao Bai's head, it revealed an eager expression.

It looks like I really want to pet the little black bird.

Qiao Bai: "I don't know what."

To prevent Professor Li from actually getting beaten up, Qiao Bai decisively changed the subject.

Professor Li looked at Xiao Wu with a hint of regret in his eyes, and then said:

"The Chinese bird is the national bird of Syria."

Qiao Bai: "?"

Qiao Bai: "!"

Qiao Bai was greatly shocked.

"Wait..." Qiao Bai gestured for a pause, his face showing a mixture of confusion and panic. "If I understand correctly, Hua Niao, the 'Hua' in this context refers to China, right?"

At least that's what Qiao Bai always thought.

Chinese bird.

The little bird of China.

No problem.

But now I'm telling him that the national bird of Syria is the Chinese bird?

Don't you really think there's something wrong with it?

"Hmm... I mean, is it possible?" Professor Li stroked his chin, looking at Qiao Bai, "Seria doesn't call these extraordinary creatures 'Hua Birds'?"

"What's it called?" Qiao Bai asked with a sarcastic expression. "West Bird?"

"And there seems to be something wrong with making extraordinary creatures the national bird, doesn't there?" Qiao Bai said uncertainly.

This world contains both ordinary and extraordinary beings.

Generally speaking.

National flowers and national birds are all common plants and common organisms.

Extraordinary beings, after all, possess a wild nature.

It is not suitable as a symbol representing the country.

"Most countries do not adopt supernatural beings as their national flower or bird, but inevitably some small countries do so."

"In particular, some countries with advanced technology and scientific research levels prefer to operate in this way."

"As for how this custom came about and what kind of ideology it is... well, if you're interested, you can find a couple of extracurricular books to read; they explain it quite clearly."

Qiao Bai: "..."

"Alright." Qiao Bai nodded, accepting Professor Li's suggestion.

Consider it supplementary material outside of class.

Qiao Bai didn't seem to mind too much.

"On another note," Professor Li said, feeling even more energized after seeing how easily Qiao Bai accepted his suggestion.

"The bird is called Zlara in Celia—meaning goddess of dawn."

"Proper noun".

Professor Li's lips twitched as he watched Qiao Bai open his phone to look up words.

"You can think of it as a term created specifically for this kind of extraordinary creature. You might be able to find it faster by searching for 'Goddess of Dawn' directly."

Qiao Bai nodded.

Artificial.

as predicted.

The photo corresponding to the entry is of the Chinese bird.

However, it is not mentioned that "Hua Niao" is an alternate name.

The answer is that you really shouldn't love Celtic people too much.

"They believe that the Hua Bird possesses a powerful force of light within its body—your Hua Bird seems to have evolved into a fire-attribute bird?"

"There's actually a tiny bit that matches up."

kindness?

As he spoke, Professor Li suddenly frowned, sensing that something was wrong.

"etc."

"Shouldn't a supernatural creature like the Hua Bird not have fire attributes?" Professor Li looked at Qiao Bai.

Qiao Bai remained calm: "I don't know either."

"It may be related to the mutation of the Chinese bird."

That's all the truth.

It was just a superficial application of the Spring and Autumn Annals style of writing.

Professor Li thought for a moment and then nodded.

"Too."

"Although we have lived with extraordinary beings for over a thousand years, our understanding of them is still insufficient."

"There are also many mysteries surrounding extraordinary beings that we do not yet know."

Professor Li then leaned closer to Qiao Bai and whispered, "Could you tell me about the evolutionary path of your Hua Bird?"

"Or could it be promoted more widely?"

"I'm certain that Celia is willing to pay a hefty price for this evolutionary path!"

Professor Li's eyes sparkled.

He was practically telling Qiao Bai – "The chance to get ripped off has arrived!"

Don't miss it if you're passing by!

Qiao Bai: "..."

"I don't think it will work," Qiao Bai said with a hint of regret, but also with utmost sincerity.

"And even if it could be widely adopted, I wouldn't really recommend it..." he told Celia.

We mustn't do something like aiding the enemy!

The evolutionary path of the Three-Legged Golden Crow is truly powerful!

"Most importantly, you must learn multiple fire-attribute skills." Seeing that Professor Li seemed to regret it, Qiao Bai shared another point.

Professor Li: "..."

Professor Li looked at Qiao Bai with an absurd expression.

He clasped his hands in a fist salute to Qiao Bai.

He turned and left.

Just outrageous!

Goodbye!

Goodbye!

The Hua Bird, which has absolutely nothing to do with fire, might kill a Beastmaster if it learned a fire-attribute skill.

Learn multiple fire-attribute skills?

Moreover, judging from Qiao Bai's appearance, it wasn't just a matter of learning; he was about to become proficient, skilled, and master it!

Why don't you let the Chinese birds fly to the sky!

Oh.

Chinese birds can fly, right?

Then why don't you let the Chinese bird dive?
