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

Chapter 59 Reward? Bonus points on the college entrance exam! The only variable is...?

Chapter 59 Reward? Bonus points on the college entrance exam! What's the only variable?

Qiao Bai forced himself to walk forward.

Soon they arrived at the door of their classroom, and the number of people staring at Qiao Bai decreased considerably.

But what followed was the intense gaze of his classmates.

Qiao Bai: "..."

There's no escaping it, no escaping it at all.

"Qiao Bai, you're here." Class monitor Lu Ting greeted him with a smile.

Her eyes sparkled as she looked at Qiao Bai. She took a few steps forward and asked curiously, "Qiao Bai, was that academic conference a week ago... really you?"

The students around them also perked up their ears.

They were curious too!

The discussion in the class group was incredibly lively at the time.

The only person involved, Qiao Bai, has remained silent.

Before Qiao Bai could nod, a sarcastic voice came from the side, "Who do we have here? It's our great genius Qiao."

Qiao Bai frowned and looked back. A person strode over from not far down the corridor.

The speaker was none other than Zhao Chen, who had always been at odds with Li Gan.

Qiao Bai glanced at him and then looked away, appearing to disregard Zhao Chen.

Qiao Bai simply couldn't be bothered with conflict.

No need.

waste time.

Turning to look at Lu Ting, who was still waiting for his answer, Qiao Bai nodded slightly: "It's me."

Lu Ting's gaze swept over Qiao Bai and Zhao Chen, but in the end, curiosity prevailed.

"How did you do that? And that Fire Fox Queen... is it your contracted pet? It looks so cool and alluring!"

Qiao Bai answered one by one: "It's not easy to explain, it's a combination of luck and skill."

"The Fire Fox Queen is not my pet, she is... my friend's."

"Ha, what kind of friend would make you give them a brand new evolutionary path? If you ask me, you must have used some underhanded means to fool everyone!" Zhao Chen's voice echoed menacingly.

This time, Lu Ting really couldn't ask any more questions.

She glanced at Qiao Bai worriedly, then frowned at Zhao Chen beside her and scolded, "Zhao Chen, what nonsense are you talking about!"

"Qiao Bai isn't that kind of person!"

Hearing someone speak up for Qiao Bai, Zhao Chen's expression turned even uglier.

Zhao Chen's face turned a purplish-blue with anger, like a spilled palette, constantly changing colors.

Qiao Bai was amazed by what he saw.

Good guy!

He always thought that such descriptions only existed in literary works, but he never expected that one day he would actually see them on a real person's face!

That's awesome!

"You say it's not, so it's not? What's your relationship with him?" Zhao Chen sneered, a mocking smile on his face: "You researched a completely new evolutionary path in just one month?"

Zhao Chen snorted coldly, "Ridiculous! I've never heard of such a thing! That guy surnamed Qiao must have used some kind of deceptive trick, it's just that he hasn't been exposed yet!"

"And that extraordinary creature that's supposedly an evolved form of the Little Fire Fox...maybe it's actually a newly discovered extraordinary creature that this guy just gave it that name!"

The more Zhao Chen talked, the more convinced he became of his point!

Correct!

That's definitely the truth!

Zhao Chen preferred to believe that Qiao Bai had just stumbled upon a supernatural creature of an undiscovered species rather than believe that Qiao Bai could actually research a new evolutionary path!

"ha?"

Then a familiar voice came from behind.

Upon hearing this, Qiao Bai's lips curled into a slight smile, a stark contrast to Zhao Chen's furious expression.

Li Gan swaggered toward the classroom. As he passed Zhao Chen, without even looking at the empty path beside him, he bumped Zhao Chen with his shoulder, causing him to stumble.

"If you're not going to move, then don't block the way. Others need to pass through here." Li Gan said arrogantly as he walked up to Qiao Bai.

He put his arm around Qiao Bai's shoulder, acting like they were best buddies.

Zhao Chen glared fiercely at Qiao Bai and Li Gan with his eyes wide open.

Qiao Bai was helpless.

What's this called?

Before he could say more than a few words, his brother had already maxed out his hatred level.

Qiao Bai kindly said, "Say less, or you'll upset someone badly."

It was because Zhao Chen looked extremely angry, his face was flushed red and purple, and his chest was heaving. Qiao Bai was afraid that he might accidentally make Zhao Chen faint.

That would make the problem much bigger.

"Alright, alright," Li Gan nodded nonchalantly. "What can I do if my brother says so?"

Li Gan spread his hands: "It's just that some people, because they aren't geniuses themselves, can't accept that others are geniuses. I just wanted to kindly help them understand the principles, but I didn't expect..."

Li Gan shook his head.

moan and groan.

"Oh dear! My good intentions have been completely wasted!"

Qiao Bai: "..."

Lu Ting: "..."

The other students present: "..."

My brother is amazing!

You really dare to say that!

Everyone was practically saying, "Are you trying to be kind?" These words nearly made Zhao Chen explode with anger on the spot!

Gritting my teeth!

Zhao Chen hated it so much!

"That's enough for you." Qiao Bai slapped Li Gan's hand off his shoulder and said with a hint of helplessness.

Qiao Bai, who prides himself on his mature mindset, doesn't take these petty squabbles seriously.

It was just some conflict from high school.

It won't rise to a certain height.

For every good friend he has, there will be someone who doesn't like him. No one is a hundred-dollar bill, born to be loved by everyone.

Moreover.

Even hundred-dollar bills have people who don't like them and use them to start fires.

It's impossible not to make enemies, but Qiao Bai simply chose to ignore them.

Li Gan decided to let the matter drop.

Zhao Chen felt ignored!

Qiao Bai didn't take him seriously at all!

"Let's not beat around the bush! Stop pretending, if you're so capable, let's have a pet battle! Let's let our strength speak for itself!" Zhao Chen shouted loudly in Qiao Bai's direction.

The students in the class immediately became excited.

oh oh!

Pet battles?

They want to see it!

Apart from a few individuals, most people in the class had only formed contracts with their pets before the end of summer vacation and had not yet engaged in any real battles.

Having just formed contracts with their pets, they were extremely interested in pet battles!

Even if I can't play myself, it's still fun to watch people I know play against each other!

Qiao Bai didn't say anything, but Li Gan's temper flared up first.

Li Gan rolled up his sleeves, ready to rush forward and reason with Zhao Chen: "What? Why should Qiao Bai agree to your fight and let you prove yourself with your strength? Who are you to Qiao Bai? What does Qiao Bai need to prove to you?"

He immediately launched into a barrage of three questions.

Not only was Zhao Chen stumped by the question, but the other students in the class were also stumped following Li Gan's line of thought.

"You think you can just challenge my brother to a fight because he's so cheap?!" As Qiao Bai's best friend, Li Ganchong was on the front lines, arguing with everyone and everything for Qiao Bai.

Qiao Bai: "..."

"Good brother, say less, or I'll really reach the maximum level of hatred." Qiao Bai patted Li Gan on the shoulder, trying to get him to tone it down.

Li Gan waved his hand dismissively: "Don't be afraid! Even if everyone else is against you, I will still stand firmly by your side!"

Qiao Bai remained silent.

So why are so many people his enemies?

Is it all because of Li Gan's mouth?

Li Gan: Why not?

It was at this moment that the homeroom teacher, Mr. Wang, strolled in slowly, sporting a large beer belly.

As soon as I reached the door.

Old Wang narrowed his large, round face, looked around, and said, "Oh ho, what's going on here? Why aren't you in the classroom? What are you doing standing all neatly in the hallway?"

Upon hearing Old Wang's voice, everyone immediately quieted down.

The little conflict from before has completely disappeared.

Zhao Chen gave Qiao Bai a fierce look and strode towards his seat in the classroom.

Qiao Bai was about to go in when Old Wang stopped him.

"By the way, Qiao Bai, I have some good news for you!"

Li Gan, who had already walked halfway out, poked his head back in, looking furtive.

Old Wang glared at him, then turned to Qiao Bai with a smile that was almost frighteningly kind: "Want to guess?"

Qiao Bai thought for three seconds.

"Teacher, just tell me directly."

"Hey! You're really not cooperating at all!" Old Wang gave Qiao Bai a resentful look.

The next second, Old Wang waved his thick, fan-like hand and slapped Qiao Bai hard on the shoulder, excitedly shouting, "I just received a notification from above that because of your discovery and achievements, they've decided to give you extra points on your college entrance exam!"

Bonus points for the college entrance exam?!

These four words came out.

The students who had been eavesdropping were in an uproar.

However, what shocked them even more was yet to come.

"Do you know how many points that is?" Old Wang's eyes, squinting behind his glasses, were shining brightly.

Without Qiao Bai needing to answer, Old Wang spoke up, "Forty points! That's a full forty points!"

hiss--

The students in the class gasped again!

Forty points?

What does this mean?

It might not be of much use to someone who doesn't do well in school.

However, for Qiao Bai, whose grades were at the top of the class and who was just one point away from being ranked several places lower in the college entrance examination, forty points meant that he was directly admitted to a top university!

moment.

Those who had doubts about Qiao Bai because of the confrontation between Zhao Chen and Qiao Bai just now had their doubts vanish in an instant.

Not a single crumb was left.

Suspicion of Qiao Bai?

The bonus points for the college entrance exam have already been announced, so what's there to doubt?

Qiao Bai is truly awesome—voice cracking.jpg!

Several classmates whose grades were slightly worse than Qiao Bai looked at him with envy and jealousy but no hatred.

When they thought about what Qiao Bai said at the academic conference, they were completely convinced!

They won't find a thing!

At most, they'll just cling to the big boss and shout "666" after the big boss finds out.

"You're quite something, kid!" Old Wang patted Qiao Bai's shoulder repeatedly, his smile never fading.

Qiao Bai was originally one of the top students in the class.

My grades have always hovered around the top three. With these 40 extra points, getting into a good university is definitely not a problem.

Old Wang instructed Qiao Bai: "This year you can spend more time on training your pet beasts. With these forty points, as long as your grades aren't too far off, getting into a top university shouldn't be a problem."

Faced with the homeroom teacher's earnest teachings, Qiao Bai smiled and agreed.

"it is good."

Upon hearing the news, Qiao Bai was not as happy as his homeroom teacher and other classmates.

Qiao Bai was thinking—what happened to the guaranteed admission?

How did it suddenly become a college entrance exam bonus?

Forty points is not a small number.

But this means that Qiao Bai will still have to spend a lot of time at school for the next year.

If that's the case, Qiao Bai definitely wouldn't have held that academic press conference.

He's gone too far in showing off!

He will be watched by many people at school.

Qiao Bai couldn't guarantee that he wouldn't make any mistakes when using his talent at school.

Regardless of what Qiao Bai thought, the procedures for the first day of school still had to be followed.

Register, receive the book, register your first contracted pet, and receive the special nutrient solution provided by the alliance.

This benefit is only available to students enrolled in designated Beast Taming classes or majors.

Once a pet has registered a contract, the Alliance will provide one to three special nutrient solutions per day, depending on the pet's needs.

Special nutrient solutions can help pets quickly recover their strength, heal wounds, and slightly improve their physical condition.

It would cost several thousand yuan per tube on the market.

The Alliance has spared no expense in order to better help the new generation of Beast Tamers grow.

Qiao Bai registered with Xiao Wu as well. Because Xiao Wu was quite strong, standing out among the first-tier newbies today, Qiao Bai successfully received the maximum daily amount of nutrient solution: three vials.

Shaking the clear, colorless, and odorless liquid in his hand, Qiao Bai asked curiously, "Teacher, can I drink this?"

The teacher in charge of distributing the supplies: "..."

The other students: "..."

The teacher in charge of distributing the supplies was the first to recover, and said with a forced smile, "It's not impossible, but I suggest you don't try it. The energy contained in the nutrient solution is a bit too... well, stimulating for men."

"Especially if you drink it in public, you might experience some physical reactions that could make you feel terrible. Only going to the hospital can alleviate them. You probably don't want to try that, do you?" After saying that, the teacher's eyes lingered on a certain part of Qiao Bai's body.

This time, it was Qiao Bai's turn to remain silent.

well.

I instantly understood what the teacher meant by what she hadn't finished saying just by looking at her eyes.

"I was just asking." Qiao Bai immediately classified the nutrient solution as a forbidden item.

But Qiao Bai was still a little curious.

In other words, who was the genius who discovered this effect of nutrient solution on men?

What kind of strange thing happened at that time that made the teacher's expression so strange?

Obviously.

It wasn't just Qiao Bai who thought of this; everyone around them had strange expressions, and their gazes toward the nutrient solution they had just received held a hint of awe.

As for whether anyone will be curious enough to go... cough cough.

This is beyond Qiao Bai's control.

While the other students were registering their pets, Qiao Bai also took a look at them.

Let's see what everyone's pets are.

Lu Ting's Lantian Jade Flower needs no introduction; its appearance perfectly matches its name. It is an extraordinary creature, about the height of Lu Ting's calf, resembling a female version of a flower or plant. Its entire body is a light blue color, and at first glance, it even sparkles in the sunlight.

To Qiao Bai's surprise, three classmates actually chose to contract with the honey bug.

One of the short-haired girls noticed Qiao Bai's gaze after registering and walked towards him with the nutrient solution she had just received.

"Qiao Bai... Honeybug... can it really evolve like that?" The girl's voice was soft, her bangs were so long they covered her eyes, and her fingers were intertwined, making her look very insecure.

Qiao Bai had a vague impression of this girl.

Li Xiaoyao is an orphan, and her situation is somewhat similar to his, but even more complicated.

Qiao Bai seemed to have heard that she was abandoned by her biological parents, but they came looking for her after she awakened her potential as a beast tamer.

Qiao Bai wasn't entirely clear on the specifics.

However, Li Xiaoyao chose honey worms simply because she was short of money.

Just like Qiao Bai, he initially thought that if all else failed, he could contract a honey bug. After the honey bug evolves, it becomes a mid-level extraordinary low-level creature, which is really cost-effective.

When asked by someone who looked so much like him, Qiao Bai did not hide anything: "Yes, it is not difficult for honeyworms to evolve."

"But you must give the honeybee enough care and love, so that it can gradually grow from timid and cowardly to strong. Only in this way can it break out of its cocoon and become a butterfly."

I don't know why.

After Qiao Bai finished speaking, he felt that Li Xiaoyao's eyes were also sparkling as she looked at him.

"Yes! I will definitely do it!" Li Xiaoyao nodded emphatically, her eyes glistening with tears beneath her bangs. "Thank you, Qiao Bai!"

After saying that, Li Xiaoyao ran away, leaving Qiao Bai standing there in a daze, as if he didn't understand what had happened.

blinked.

If you can't figure it out, just let it go.

He continued to observe the other people's pets, excluding the three classmates who had contracted with honey bugs and Lu Ting who had applied for the Blue Jade Flower.

The remaining students who contracted pets during the summer vacation all purchased extraordinary creatures through loans from the Alliance.

Everyone has a similar idea: the strength of the first pet will affect the development of their subsequent resources!

Instead of gambling on whether honeybugs can evolve, it's better to be down-to-earth.

It's okay to have some debt.

As beast tamers, they have more job opportunities after graduation than ordinary people. Even if they don't do well, it just means they have to spend two more years paying off their loans.

Qiao Bai declined to comment on this.

Everyone has their own thoughts and decisions. The public disclosure of the honeybug's evolutionary path is simply to give those who truly have no other choice another option.

The morning passed quickly and busily.

On the first day without classes, the students could go back to their dormitories and tidy up properly.

There are few beast tamers, so even the dormitories at the school are only for two people, otherwise they would never be full.

Qiao Bai and Li Gan shared a dormitory room. They simply swept away the dust that had accumulated over the summer and put on a new set of quilts, and that was the end of the cleaning work.

"Xiao Qiao, wanna play games?" Li Gan waved his phone.

Just as Qiao Bai was about to agree, his phone rang.

"You keep playing, I'll take this call."

Qiao Bai looked at the name "Huang Zhou" on his phone, went to the balcony, and answered the call.

NY City Beast Taming Alliance.

The front desk was unusually quiet today.

In their spare time, the group of a few people would get together to gossip and talk about interesting things that had happened recently. They were all very quiet, as if they wanted to disappear from the president's sight.

There's nothing we can do about it.

A voice called out from the reception room.

One of them had to step forward and go in to pour water.

Several people pushed and shoved each other, and finally it was the unlucky receptionist's turn.

She cautiously entered the reception room, only to hear Chairman Huang's furious voice rang out: "Why doesn't it count! What kind of bullshit standard is this?!"

"Do you know how significant this discovery is?!"

"You think you can fool me with this?!"

As Chairman Huang spoke, he slammed his hand on the table repeatedly.

On the carpet, a snow wolf, which was half the height of a person when it lay down, was repeatedly patting the ground with its tail, the rhythm gradually coinciding with the rhythm of Chairman Huang slamming the table.

The receptionist noticed this, and her previously cautious demeanor suddenly turned cheerful.

Especially when Snow Wolf let out a low "howl" in response to Chairman Huang's swearing.

The receptionist finally couldn't hold back and burst out laughing.

Huangzhou, who was still cursing and swearing: "..."

The snow wolf, its tail abruptly halted in mid-air, its mouth still open, remained silent: "..."

Two pairs of eyes, one big and one small, were staring intently at the receptionist.

The receptionist, her smile still lingering on her face: ...I'm doomed!

The receptionist used all her skills, keeping a straight face and moving with lightning speed to replace the teacup. Then, carrying the tray and wearing high heels, she walked across the soft carpet at breakneck speed.

What happened?

The receptionist didn't know.

She really is just an ordinary working person!

Once she returned to the front desk, no matter how curious her colleagues looked at her or how much her phone vibrated in her pocket, she was unaffected.

The receptionists all kept their eyes straight ahead, maintaining a serious and upright demeanor.

Bagua?

I can't talk about gossip at all.

If she continued gossiping, she would have to pack her things and go home.

Huang Zhou, however, was not as angry as the receptionist had imagined.

That little incident just now calmed Huang Zhou's angry mind down a bit.

He took a few deep breaths and spoke as calmly as possible into the phone: "I don't know what you're thinking, but the successful evolution of the Fire Fox Queen is the best proof of what happened at the academic conference that day."

"You say I'm being unreasonable, but I just think you're being completely irrational."

"If you insist on doing it this way, it's not impossible, but let me make this clear: if one day the concept proposed by Qiao Bai really develops into something extraordinary, you won't get a single benefit from it."

"I've already recorded this phone call, including today's."

As he spoke, Huang Zhou sneered into the phone: "Ha? You think I'm daydreaming? I think you're a bunch of old-fashioned oranges, all wrinkled and rotting inside and out. What era are we living in now?"

After finishing speaking, Huang Zhou didn't give the other party a chance to retaliate and hung up the phone without saying another word.

Faced with the constantly lit screen, Huang Zhou promptly blocked him again.

After a series of smooth actions, Huang Zhou finally felt relieved.

But the next second.

Huang Zhou then thought... he still had to tell Qiao Bai about this.

Thinking about it this way, Huangzhou's mood soured again.

How... how should I tell Qiao Bai this?

After dragging his feet for most of the day, Huang Zhou finally made the call to Qiao Bai around noon.

Qiao Bai listened to Huang Zhou's grievances on the other end of the phone, complaining that the spot that was supposed to be given to Qiao Bai for admission without examination was replaced with extra points for the college entrance examination.

"That's how those people are. They're incredibly annoying. They insist that the concept you proposed doesn't have more concrete proof yet, so they can't grant you admission without a guarantee for the time being."

"Even the Fiery Fox Queen isn't conclusive proof, so how much more proof do you need? Do you really think discovering a completely new evolutionary path is an easy thing to do!"

"If you ask me, they're just jealous that a genius came from NY City, that's why they're acting so strangely!"

As he listened, Qiao Bai finally understood what Huang Zhou meant.

Huangzhou came to him to complain.

This was also to prevent him from harboring resentment towards the Beast Taming Alliance in NY City.

Thinking of this, Qiao Bai smiled and said gently, "I understand, Uncle Huang. You've done your best to help me. The extra points for the college entrance exam... it's a bit disappointing, but it's not unacceptable."

Actually, it's still a bit of a headache.

However, Qiao Bai is not a person who likes to complain.

Getting a huge system running is by no means an easy task.

From Huang Zhou's words, Qiao Bai could roughly understand that the higher-ups didn't have much ill will towards him, but out of habit, they just liked to give him obstacles here and there.

They will eventually give what they are entitled to, but whether some things will become outdated or useless by then is not within their consideration.

Qiao Bai: I understand, I understand completely.

When it happens to you, there's bound to be some unpleasantness involved.

If the recommendation for admission is secured, he can now prepare to take Xiao Wu out for training, battles, and practice, using real combat to familiarize him with all his skills.

Instead of like it is now...

While attending classes, she was also trying to find time to train with Xiao Wu.

Qiao Bai: ...What kind of human suffering is this?!

……

However, facts have proven otherwise.

This is only the beginning of human suffering.

On the first day of school, everyone was quite reserved. When they were curious about Qiao Bai, they only stood a meter away and secretly peeked at him.

They won't actually come over and be annoying.

But after the first week...

Whether they were familiar with Qiao Bai or not, all the classmates forced themselves to become familiar with him.

Every now and then, they would come up to Qiao Bai and ask him all sorts of questions, or they would try to invite Qiao Bai to a match.

There were even a couple of dimwits who would openly criticize Xiao Wu in front of Qiao Bai.

Every time this happens.

Since the other party was an ordinary person, Qiao Bai went himself.

If the opponent is also a beast tamer, Qiao Bai will drag them to the school's designated outdoor area for a thoroughly enjoyable battle... a complete and utter crushing defeat.

In just over half a month, no one dared to speak ill of Xiao Wu or point out his shortcomings anymore.

Those classmates who were interested in Qiao Bai would bring snacks for Xiao Wu when they came to see him again.

Xiao Wu: OVO

"Little Wu is practically becoming the queen of our school's pet animals now, isn't she?" Li Gan chuckled, snatched a handful of sunflower seeds from Little Wu, and started munching away.

Halfway through his sentence, Li Gan's gaze lingered curiously on Xiao Wu: "Hey, hey, hey? Speaking of which, is our Xiao Wu a female or a male bird? If it's a male, then we should call him 'Big Brother,' right?"

Little Wu: [○｀Д○]!

rogue!

satyr!

I actually want to watch it...

The little bird flapped its wings, fueled by both old and new grudges, and flew to Li Gan, launching a flurry of attacks from both sides.

Li Gan begged for mercy, groaning, "Qiao Bai, you need to control your little Wu!"

Qiao Bai: I didn't hear anything.

Did you really think that drinking this special nutrient solution for a month was a waste of time?

Was the training all for nothing?

If Little Wu really wanted to, its wings would no longer be as soft as they were at the beginning during battle.

The black feathers become as sharp as blades in battle!

Each feather, taken individually, can be turned into a sharp weapon!

Xiao Wu's apparent rank has not changed.

However, Xiao Wu's current strength at the intermediate level of the third tier is completely different from his strength at the intermediate level of the third tier a month ago.

No one in the class can beat Xiao Wu anymore!

It started in combat class.

Many people saw that Xiao Wu was a small, round ball, and heard that Xiao Wu was a Hua bird that had mutated in a bad direction, so they wanted to fight against Qiao Bai.

They cannot out-IQ Joe Bai.

But they can completely crush Qiao Bai in a one-on-one fight!

Then... these people were completely crushed by Xiao Wu!

Immediately, these people went from vying to fight Qiao Bai to wishing they could avoid Qiao Bai and Xiao Wu.

I swear I will never run into this combination of a person and a bird.

Qiao Bai's opponents became the four classmates in his class who came from relatively well-off families and had formed contracts with pet beasts in their second year of high school.

Zhao Chen and Li Gan's Thunder Fang Tiger and Dragon Lizard are among the best of the four.

These four people are just like their classmates.

Everyone thought Xiao Wu could crush Qiao Bai.

Zhao Chen even more arrogantly declared, "Huh? This little thing? My Thunder Fang Tiger could stand there and let it hit me; this wouldn't even break its defense!"

It's not that I don't know Xiao Wu's strength is at the intermediate level of the third tier.

However, Zhao Chen was confident that with the advantage of breed and bloodline, Lei Ya Hu would never be defeated easily.

As for the result...

Needless to say.

From the moment Lei Ya Hu entered the arena, he lost the opportunity to launch an attack and was kited to death by Qiao Bai and Xiao Wu.

When the battle ended, Zhao Chen's face was black.

Li Gan, who was standing to the side, also refrained from mocking Zhao Chen, which was quite unusual.

When asked, Li Gan recalled the scene of his past boastful remarks.

Yep.

That is to say, it seems that she and Zhao Chen have developed a few unnecessary feelings of mutual appreciation.

Zhao Chen: ...If I could, I wouldn't want this kind of mutual appreciation at all, you bastard!

For the next month.

In every practical lesson, Xiao Wu maintained a winning streak and never suffered a defeat!

Despite Zhao Chen's ever-growing courage and repeated defeats, he still refused to give up.

Everyone else has already acknowledged Little U's status as the number one pet among all the beasts.

So if Xiao Wu really wanted to retaliate against Li Gan, would he be able to wait for Qiao Bai to stop him?

Qiao Bai shook his head.

After playing enough, the little bird flew back to Qiao Bai's shoulder and habitually used its tender yellow beak to preen the feathers on its wings.

"Today we can prepare to start the next phase," Qiao Bai said softly.

Xiao Wu raised its head and looked at Qiao Bai with its black beady eyes.

The next stage?

What's the next stage?

"The next stage of becoming stronger."

Little Wu has become extremely proficient in using fire-attribute skills such as Fireball and Smoke Screen, to the point that he can use these skills in combination to outmaneuver other people's pets.

Qiao Bai is preparing to teach Xiao Wu new fire attribute skills: [Flame Bite] and [Heat Energy].

One is a relatively difficult combination, and the other is relatively easy. Next, I will master these two skills!

Xiaowu: ヾ(▽)ノ!

Great!

I can become stronger again!

It rubbed against Qiao Bai, its black beady eyes curiously sizing him up, reflecting an inscrutable light.

Did the beast tamer go hunting without my knowledge?

Otherwise, why would I always be able to become so amazing!

Little Wu couldn't figure it out, so he gave up thinking about it.

Xiao Wu: Anyway, my beast taming skills are the best in the world!

……

An official research institute in Central China.

It was the middle of the day, but the entire research institute was eerily quiet.

No one spoke.

Even the sound of breathing was suppressed to a minimum.

Countless pairs of eyes were fixed intently on the dazzling light emanating from the evolution room not far away.

Until the light faded.

The moment when a gigantic creature I had never seen before appeared before my eyes.

Unable to contain themselves, screams and cheers erupted: "We did it! We really did it! We've found a new evolutionary path!"

We don't care about the time it takes to start a project.

Only a month has passed since they actually began their work on the evolution of superhuman beings and started to see results!

One month!

Even with countless researchers conducting comparative experiments on different approaches simultaneously, according to their original estimates, they would not be able to successfully help the first extraordinary creature complete its evolution until before the end of the year at the earliest!

However, only a month has passed...

They completed their preliminary research more than three months ahead of schedule!

Grandpa Wu Qingshan was the first to recover: "Now is not the time to get excited. Quickly test the specific values of its defensive performance after evolution!"

The old man was shouting loudly, looking unapproachable; he still had to work at this hour.

In fact, Mr. Wu's face also wore an undisguised smile of joy.

All the staff were in high spirits.

Work?

They love their work!

They can now fully dedicate themselves to their current work!

The job is fantastic!

While overseeing the overall situation, Old Master Wu walked over to Cui Wenzhong and asked, "Which evolutionary path was successful?"

Cui Wenzhong didn't speak, his expression was a little strange.

"What can't you say? You look like you've seen a ghost!" Old Master Wu glanced at him and raised an eyebrow.

Cui Wenzhong coughed twice and handed the document recording the experimental process to the old man.

The old man took it, pushed up his reading glasses, squinted, and read it aloud word by word.

"10 Illusion Crystal Flowers... 1 ml of Dragon Blood... The affinity between the Beastmaster and the pet seems to be maxed out?"

Grandpa Wu suddenly looked up at Cui Wenzhong.

Cui Wenzhong also looked at the old man.

"Who made this record?" Old Master Wu shook the document in his hand.

Cui Wenzhong pointed to a young man wearing glasses who was working not far away: "That's him, I just asked him."

"He said he happened to have watched Qiao Bai's academic conference. When he was observing this group of beast tamers and their pets, he felt that the relationship and the concept of affection between them were very similar, so he just casually recorded it."

"But the problem is... his experiment was a screening experiment."

Grandpa Wu understood what it meant as soon as he heard it.

This is something that is done in large research institutes when there are many staff members.

When an experiment on a hypothetical evolutionary path fails, it will be tested again before being completely scrapped to avoid errors caused by special circumstances.

This kind of thing happened a long time ago.

But it only happened once.

Small research institutes typically don't spend time checking for obsolete files.

In his earlier years, Mr. Wu Qingshan would not have conducted a review of obsolete files, as it was not only time-consuming but also required additional resources.

This time, there is national support behind it.

Grandpa Wu wanted to achieve perfection, so he applied for additional resources for reviewing obsolete files.

Unexpectedly...
