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

Chapter 73: The Evolved Little U! A New Use of Talent Skills!

next second.

The door opened.

A large bird, resembling an eagle, radiating a golden-red light and with a wingspan of two meters, suddenly flew out of the room.

The big bird, which is the evolved form of the little crow, has a silly and cute look in its eyes, but also an endless sense of panic.

He immediately lunged forward to seek help from people he knew.

qaq

Help!

The Beastmaster is dying!

When the evolved giant bird swooped down on Zhou Xinran, she felt as if her breath had stopped for a moment.

This...this feeling...this aura...

That's absolutely amazing!

Zhou Xinran felt as if the sun, mythology, and legendary creatures were rushing towards her!

An astonishing aura emanated from within!

A pair of sharp eyes were fixed on her, her brain was screaming "danger! danger!" but her body couldn't move an inch.

My whole body felt like it had been frozen solid.

Until... this creature, which seemed to have flown out of a myth, stopped in front of her, and Zhou Xinran's gaze met that of the large bird.

Zhou Xinran: Hmm?

Why... does that look in your eyes seem off?

His golden-red eyes were not domineering at all; in fact, they even carried a hint of panic.

Zhou Xinran saw a familiar emotion in those eyes.

Finally, her frozen brain began to function again. Connecting the dots, a seemingly impossible possibility surfaced in Zhou Xinran's mind: "...You're Xiao Wu?!"

Overjoyed at being recognized, the little crow burst into tears, almost wanting to cry out to the heavens... but it couldn't.

Then Zhou Xinran watched as the large, golden-red bird kept shaking its head.

The tiny, fluffy tuft of hair on its head had transformed into a small tuft of golden-red feathers, bobbing up and down, adding a touch of cuteness to the bird's fierce appearance.

"What happened to Qiao Bai?" Zhou Xinran took a deep breath. She instantly realized that Xiao Wu must have run out in such a hurry because something must have happened to Qiao Bai.

As she spoke, Zhou Xinran strode towards the room.

Zou Tang and Huo Xiaotian were a step slower, but they quickly followed.

Only Cen Yuanjin and Huo Batian remained at the very back.

Cen Yuanjin stared at the large, golden-red bird that had flown away for a long time before finally connecting it with the small, round, chubby little bird he had seen the night before last, which looked like a sesame-skinned glutinous rice ball.

"This... normally, even after a Chinese bird evolves, it doesn't look like this!" Cen Yuanjin's face was full of confusion.

Although there aren't many Hua Niao Beast Tamers in Toshiba Province, there are still one or two out of every thirty or fifty people. Based on the Hua Niao's flight attribute and sonic attack methods, the normal evolutionary direction is either the [Great Winged Hua Niao], which is known for its speed and ferocity, or the [Singing Hua Niao], which is mainly enhanced by its sonic attack methods.

When the former reaches its maximum size, it can be used as a flying pet when traveling.

The latter will have more elegant and luxurious feathers and appearance.

but……

That enormous, golden-red bird, measuring two meters in length including its wings, was indeed a sight to behold, awe-inspiring and breathtaking. But upon closer inspection, one would realize that it possessed neither the massive size of the Great-Winged Flower Bird nor the magnificent appearance of the Nightingale Flower Bird.

It's more like a combination of strength and beauty, somewhere in between!

"However, judging from its size, it seems that the Qiao Baihua Bird's evolutionary path leans more towards the [Great-Winged Flower Bird]. The size issue might be due to Xiao Wu's innate defect..." Cen Yuanjin shook his head again, denying his own opinion: "No, no, no, the ordinary [Great-Winged Flower Bird] doesn't have such a magnificent appearance. Although it has a different style compared to the [Singing Flower Bird], but..."

Cen Yuanjin kept rambling on and on, talking about something incoherently.

Huo Batian stood to the side with his arms crossed, his expression indifferent, completely unaffected by Cen Yuanjin's incessant chatter. He looked at the room not far away, his eyes flashing with excitement and fighting spirit.

Ah, no wonder he was destined to be his rival!

Even the evolution of pet beasts is so unique!

Qiao Bai, who had fainted from hunger: "?"

Why is someone trying to scam me?

We're really not on the same level!

……

Yes.

Qiao Bai, who was in the room, had fainted from hunger.

Having gone without a drop of water for nearly two days and two nights, and with the double drain on his willpower and mental strength, Qiao Bai was already at his limit by the time Xiao Wu evolved.

In addition, the scorching and powerful energy surge during Xiao Wu's evolution... Qiao Bai didn't even have time to see Xiao Wu's evolved form before being swept away by the overwhelming aura and falling into a coma.

When Qiao Bai woke up in bed and remembered what had happened, he refused to open his eyes... He was truly ashamed!

"Open your eyes when you wake up, eat something, and rest for a while," Zhou Xinran's voice came from the side at just the right time.

Knowing there was no way to avoid it, Qiao Bai opened his eyes and turned his head to meet a pair of golden-red eyes that looked like blazing flames.

When Qiao Bai saw those eyes for the first time while fully conscious, he was stunned for a moment before realizing—it was Xiao Wu, the evolved Xiao Wu.

Qiao Bai couldn't help but subconsciously examine the evolved Little Wu.

Well... if it weren't for the unique color of its feathers, at first glance, it would look like a smaller version of an eagle.

Half of its wing was folded up, while the other half rested on Qiao Bai's body. He didn't know if it was just his imagination, but he always felt that the other half of the wing seemed to be radiating warmth.

"Little Wu." Qiao Bai smiled and reached out to rub Little Wu's head.

Little Wu took the initiative to rub against him, and not satisfied with that, he flapped his body and pounced on Qiao Bai.

However, Little U forgot that it had evolved. Now, with its current size, performing the same actions as before had completely different consequences.

Qiao Bai, who had already fainted from hunger, hadn't had a chance to replenish his energy before Xiao Wu pounced on him and pinned him down.

Qiao Bai: Spitting out his soul.jpg

Xiao Wu only remembered after she pounced on Qiao Bai, "Oh right!"

It has evolved now!

It's no longer the small and cute one it used to be!

Little Wu: Help! Help! Help!

The Beastmaster is really going to die soon!

After a flurry of activity, Qiao Bai ate three bowls of porridge and a scallion pancake before regaining his strength.

After finishing his meal, Qiao Bai wiped his mouth and said, "I'm finally alive!"

It feels so good to be full!

"A normal person would have starved to death after two days and two nights. How did you manage to do it?" Zhou Xinran looked at Qiao Bai with a sarcastic expression.

Qiao Bai gave an embarrassed smile.

Well... didn't he expect that either?

Give it a go.

Who would have thought that Xiao Wu not only cultivated the essence fire, but also happened to be stuck on the edge of evolution.

Qiao Bai thought to himself, "Isn't that just a matter of rushing over in one go?"

...and then two days and two nights passed.

Since waking up, Qiao Bai has not found a suitable opportunity to check Xiao Wu's evolved data.

Fortunately, there's no rush.

The evolution has already been successful.

There's still time to wait for the others.

Zhou Xinran: "Shall we rest here for another day?"

Hearing Zhou Xinran's words, Qiao Bai came back to his senses and shook his head: "No need, I'm fine, I'm just hungry. We can leave after we eat and recover for a while."

Qiao Bai wasn't particularly interested in the hot spring resort to begin with.

Instead of staying here, I'd rather go back to school.

"Alright, then you can come back to Qingniao University with me first."

Seeing that Qiao Bai was about to retort, Zhou Xinran glanced at him again: "The evolution of Little Wu is no small matter. If I'm not mistaken, this is another new evolutionary path, isn't it?"

"I'm not asking you to write the relevant paper right now, but you should at least tell me about it, or at least tell me your plans."

Moreover... Zhou Xinran looked at the evolved Little Crow.

Its golden-red feathers shimmered with a special luster even indoors, dazzling and captivating, making it impossible to look away from their magnificent beauty.

It's completely different from the dark little dumplings from before.

Most importantly, now when Xiao Wu goes out, any beast tamer with eyes will say: Xiao Wu must be a fire attribute!

Even if it's not a single fire attribute, it must have a fire attribute.

Zhou Xinran thought of the guess that Qiao Bai had made earlier.

no doubt.

Qiao Bai's guess was confirmed once again.

Originally, Little U only had the Flying and Special attributes, but after evolving, it successfully gained a third attribute: Fire.

As she pondered, Zhou Xinran's gaze toward Qiao Bai grew increasingly solemn.

Qiao Bai: "..."

There was no escaping it now, Qiao Bai nodded, agreeing to Zhou Xinran's suggestion.

……

"Oh, you're leaving already?" Huo Xiaotian looked at Qiao Bai with a reluctant expression when he learned that Qiao Bai was about to leave and said, "Your sudden fainting was terrifying. You should have rested a little longer."

If Huo Xiaotian's eyes hadn't kept glancing at Zhou Xinran while they were talking, Qiao Bai might have believed that he genuinely cared about her.

But now... Qiao Bai smiled and remained silent.

On the contrary, Zou Tang simply exchanged contact information with Qiao Bai: "You've already been admitted to Qingniao University, right?"

Qiao Bai nodded.

"I understand." A determined expression appeared on Zou Tang's face.

Qiao Bai really wanted to ask her, "What did you understand?"

I have a feeling... it won't be a good thing for him.

"Me too! Me too! Let's exchange contact information!" Huo Xiaotian hurriedly squeezed in. "Besides, we'll definitely be alumni after school starts!"

Huo Xiaotian then looked at Zou Tang: "You must be aiming for Jialan University, right? That's the university that every trainer wants to attend."

Qiao Bai immediately thought of information about Jialan University.

Although the name sounds like a religious university, Jialan University is not. As a non-first-class university in its early years, Jialan University rose to fame after Mr. Zou Ping graduated from Jialan University and gradually climbed to the top of the training master.

Whenever Mr. Zou Ping achieves something, he gives back to his alma mater by donating money, materials, handwritten notes, and research notes. It can be said that Jialan University owes its unique place in the hearts of its educators to Mr. Zou.

Considering that Mr. Zou was penniless and yet renowned back then... only Jialan University accepted him and provided scholarships to support the young Mr. Zou through those years.

It seems that this explains why, after achieving great success, Mr. Zou continued to give back to his alma mater.

The story of how Jialan University and Mr. Zou complemented each other is truly heartwarming.

That's why Qiao Bai felt that Zou Tang would never choose to apply to Jialan University.

Think back to what Zou Tang said earlier...

Hmm—could it be that the other person also wants to apply to Qingniao University?

Qiao Bai: I always feel like he's unknowingly become the freshman admissions officer of Qingniao University?

"Hmph." Zou Tang hummed a few times, glanced at Cen Yuanjin not far away, and said nothing.

Qiao Bai and Zhou Xinran are leaving.

Huo Batian and Cen Yuanjin did not intend to stay any longer.

after all.

They stayed here an extra half day because they were worried about Qiao Bai's condition.

Since Qiao Bai was alright, they naturally prepared to leave.

The route from the resort to the airport is the same, and everyone took a car together to the airport.

Their flight back to Toshiba is a bit faster.

Before going through security, Huo Xiaotian was still waving goodbye to Qiao Bai with reluctance.

Qiao Bai smiled and replied to Huo Xiaotian and Zou Tang, "Thank you for waiting for me. You can contact me next time you come to Jinyang City or NY City."

Huo Xiaotian nodded repeatedly.

good good!

This is great!

Then he'll have a chance to stick close to Qiao Bai next time!

Maybe he can even take this opportunity to meet his goddess more often!

"Don't worry, we won't hold back when the time comes!" Zou Tang said casually.

After saying that, the two of them followed Huo Batian and Cen Yuanjin into the security checkpoint.

As Huo Batian took out his ID card to board the plane, Qiao Bai secretly glanced at the name on his ID card.

then……

Qiao Bai quickly looked away, pretending that nothing had happened.

When Huo Batian cast a sharp glance at him, Qiao Bai went through all the sad things he had experienced in his life in his mind before he managed to hold back his laughter.

...Ahem, who would have thought that the name on this tough guy's ID card would be...ahem!

……

Sitting on the plane back home.

They bought their tickets together, so all four of them ended up sitting together.

Cen Yuanjin said with a sigh, "It's a pity that we were unable to find out what exactly happened with Qiao Bai's Hua Niao in the end."

"It's a bit of a pity." Cen Yuanjin shook his head, then quickly added, "But it's alright. If it really is a new evolved form, I'm sure we'll hear news of this little genius displaying his divine power again soon."

"I'll also be able to get the latest secondhand information then."

Cen Yuanjin turned to Zou Tang beside him and said, "Little Tang, as the most promising newcomer in our Toshiba Province Instructor Association, you can't let yourself be outdone, right? You should think about it and show us some real skills."

"Vice President Cen, cultivating extraordinary beings also requires experience, you know?" Zou Tang immediately rolled his eyes at Cen Yuanjin without any politeness. "If you're counting on me, you might as well urge those old hands in the association to bring out something presentable!"

"They must have been secretly hiding something!"

"That's true... Success doesn't come out of thin air. Qiao Bai's achievements today must be the result of him having planned Xiao Wu's evolutionary path a long time ago." Cen Yuanjin nodded upon hearing this. "If you ask me... perhaps taming this Hua bird with such a terrible mutation path was also part of his plan?"

"Make the contract early, train for two or three years, and only enter the program after reaching the level required for his experiment..."

Before Cen Yuanjin could finish speaking, Huo Xiaotian, who was getting impatient and completely confused, interrupted him.

"No? Vice President Cen, what are you talking about? What do you mean two or three years?" Huo Xiaotian blinked, casually dropping a bombshell at Cen Yuanjin: "Qiao Bai's contract with Little Crow has only been a year... seven months, okay!"

"What kind of nonsense are you spouting!"

How could Qiao Bai possibly have bad intentions towards Xiao Wu!

Having witnessed Xiao Wu's true strength and having once considered forming a contract with Xiao Wu, Huo Xiaotian is determined not to allow anyone to tarnish the relationship between Xiao Wu and Qiao Bai!

Even if this person is Cen Yuanjin, it's not allowed!

Cen Yuanjin: "?"

"Wait?!" Cen Yuanjin, who had been perfectly fine, suddenly turned ferocious after hearing Huo Xiaotian's words.

"You... how long do you think Qiao Bai has been contracting with that Hua bird?" Cen Yuanjin gave a look that was like a toothache... or a stomachache, indescribable.

Huo Xiaotian didn't understand why Cen Yuanjin was so excited, but Zou Tang, standing to the side, had a gloating smile on his face.

Hehehe~

She didn't even think of sharing this with Vice President Cen after she found out about it, just to protect Vice President Cen's shattered worldview. She didn't expect Huo Xiaotian to expose it. Zou Tang silently gave him a thumbs up in her heart.

"More than seven months," Huo Xiaotian said dismissively. "Qiao Bai is truly amazing when it comes to cultivating extraordinary beings."

talking.

Huo Xiaotian spoke quickly and in detail, recounting what Qiao Bai had told them, his encounter with Xiao Wu, and Xiao Wu's situation at the time.

Of the four people present, three were in the know, while the only one who was unaware gradually became flustered and confused after hearing what had happened.

"Am I really not dreaming... Am I really not listening to some kind of gibberish?" Cen Yuanjin's eyes were filled with endless confusion.

If these words hadn't come from Huo Xiaotian's mouth, Zou Tang would still have had a look of amusement on his face, and Huo... Batian would have sat to the side without saying a word in rebuttal... If it had come from a different occasion or from a different person, Cen Yuanjin would never have believed it even if he were beaten to death!

It's incredible that someone could actually do it—in just over six months, they made a bird with a terrible mutation trajectory increase its strength like a rocket!

They also learned fire attribute skills that their original attribute couldn't learn at all.

It cultivated a refined fire... and finally successfully evolved into a dazzling appearance!

Cen Yuanjin: ...Even novels wouldn't dare to write it like this!

"Oh dear!" Cen Yuanjin suddenly stood up as he was thinking.

Because he stood up too quickly, and the plane encountered turbulence and was slightly unstable, Cen Yuanjin's body swayed from side to side, and he almost lost his balance and fell headfirst to the ground.

Fortunately, at the last second, Miss Feihua, who happened to be passing by, used her slender vine arms and flower-leaf hands to support Cen Yuanjin's body.

"Miya~"

Miss Feihua, who has a human-like appearance, looked at Cen Yuanjin with reproachful eyes.

It was as if they were blaming Cen Yuanjin for his recklessness and impulsiveness.

Cen Yuanjin, an elderly middle-aged man: "..."

He felt a little embarrassed being looked at with such eyes by this extraordinary being, Miss Feihua, who looked like a little girl!

"...Ahem, it's a misunderstanding, I'll sit back down now."

Miss Feihua remained standing there without moving.

He seemed determined to see Cen Yuanjin sit down obediently before leaving.

Cen Yuanjin awkwardly touched his nose and slunk back to his seat, not only sitting down obediently but also fastening his seatbelt.

Seeing this, the petite, cute, and charming Miss Feihua nodded in satisfaction: Miya~

Please keep this posture, sir.

After finishing her sentence, Miss Flying Flower continued her patrol inside the cabin.

Cen Yuanjin chuckled awkwardly, and when he looked up, he met three pairs of strange eyes.

"I never expected this, Vice President, you're actually like this." Zou Tang said with a sinister smile, as if he had caught something serious.

"Don't worry, Vice President, we won't look down on you because of your bad habits." Compared to Zou Tang, Huo Xiaotian was much more direct: "I know many people have inappropriate thoughts about Miss Feihua, but before today, I didn't expect you, Vice President, to be one of them... Sigh!"

In the end, the two of them sighed in unison.

It seems they have completely seen through Cen Yuanjin.

Cen Yuanjin's forehead veins bulged. "Two brats and two brats!"

They're just making fun of him here!

Fortunately, he could tell that the two people were joking with him.

Then… Cen Yuanjin realized that Huo Batian's gaze seemed genuine, not joking, but truly believing him… Cen Yuanjin's face immediately darkened.

"Who would be interested in a superhuman creature like Miss Feihua, who looks cute and delicate but turns into a super-strong Barbie in a fight?!" Cen Yuanjin cried out in despair, "Get rid of that filthy look in your eyes! And all that excessive internal monologue of yours, delete it! Delete it all!"

Huo Batian: "Heh, you're teaching me how to do things."

Cen Yuanjin: "..."

Bouncing back and forth on the verge of collapse.jpg

Cen Yuanjin rubbed his forehead, feeling a headache coming on: "I have no interest in Miss Feihua. I'll say it again, I really don't."

Not wanting to discuss the topic any further, Cen Yuanjin quickly looked at Huo Xiaotian and Zou Tang. If he continued to stare and talk to Huo Batian, one of them would definitely die... and the chances of that person being Huo Batian were extremely slim.

"Qiao Bai is so talented at cultivating North Korean organisms, why didn't you tell me sooner?" Cen Yuanjin looked at Huo Xiaotian and Zou Tang with a pained expression and said, "A talent like that should have been recruited to our Breeding Association!"

Actually, when I first met Qiao Bai...

Cen Yuanjin had made a similar joke to Qiao Bai.

But I didn't think much of it at the time.

It was really just something I said offhand.

I think Qiao Bai has some talent. If he studies and develops in this direction, he might become a good newcomer.

Cen Yuanjin never expected that... Qiao Bai's talent was this amazing!

If only I had known sooner.

Even if it means ending her friendship with Zhou Xinran, Cen Yuanjin is determined to steer Qiao Bai onto the path of becoming a trainer!

It's been so many years since we've seen a talent like Qiao Bai!

The current pillar and stabilizing force of the Instructor Association is none other than Mr. Zou from Zouping.

Things were fine when the old man was still alive.

It must be admitted that Mr. Zou is old, even older than Professor Wu Qingshan.

While Professor Wu Qingshan was still able to shoulder the heavy responsibility for the country, Mr. Zou's health required treatment from time to time.

High-tech medical techniques can cure a variety of diseases.

However, it cannot delay the onset of aging and death.

If Grandpa Zou passes away... there will be no one else in the country who can stand on the top pedagogy level.

If the trainer association collapses by half, it will at least be in turmoil for a long time.

The next generation has not yet grown up, and there is no suitable successor among the younger generation... Thinking of this, Cen Yuanjin secretly glanced at Zou Tang, and before they could react, he quickly looked away.

Cen Yuanjin was aware of Zou Tang's experiences, but there was simply nothing he could do about it.

……Why!

If only Qiao Bai could really become a cultivator!

After thinking it over, Cen Yuanjin still couldn't bear to give up such a promising talent.

"Could you share Qiao Bai's contact information with me?" Cen Yuanjin asked, still unwilling to give up, rubbing his hands together as he looked at Huo Xiaotian and Zou Tang with eagerness.

No no no.

He won't be satisfied until he digs into this corner!

……

Qiao Bai slept soundly on the plane.

The nearly two days and two nights of cultivating the essence fire and evolving it brought Qiao Bai not only physical exhaustion and hunger, but also mental exhaustion and drowsiness.

Once on the plane, Qiao Bai fell asleep immediately.

What Qiao Bai didn't notice was...

After he fell asleep, Xiao Wu flew out of his spiritual sea beast-taming space on its own initiative, folded its wings and nestled obediently in Qiao Bai's arms, just like a big bird that couldn't be more obedient.

...This assumes that Xiao Wu ran away on his own.

Zhou Xinran glanced at Xiao Wu, then glanced at Xiao Wu again, and finally said nothing.

When they returned to Qingniao University, Zhou Xinran did not stop Qiao Bai to explain to her immediately, but instead took the initiative to let Qiao Bai go back to the classroom and dormitory.

"You look so sleepy, go back and get some rest first. Come back and tell me properly when you're full of energy." Zhou Xinran chuckled, then glanced at the little black dog still nestled in Qiao Bai's arms, forcing Qiao Bai to use one hand to hold it: "It would be best if you could write a report in writing."

"Okay." Qiao Bai nodded.

I don't have the energy to talk anymore.

Back in the dorm.

It wasn't much different from when he left.

There was a bit of dust, but it wasn't a big problem for Qiao Bai, who could fall asleep as soon as he lay down.

Go to sleep first.

Let's talk about it after I wake up.

And so, Qiao Bai slept soundly, day and night, until he woke up in the evening... the night he returned.

"I can sleep quite a lot," Qiao Bai sighed deeply at his ability to sleep.

Yawning, Qiao Bai sat up in bed.

Now that he was refreshed, Qiao Bai finally had time to take a good look at the evolved Xiao Wu.

While Qiao Bai was asleep, Xiao Wu stayed obediently by his side and didn't run around at all.

This made Qiao Bai unable to resist touching Xiao Wu's beautiful feathers: "So cute, so cute, our Xiao Wu is so cute even after evolving."

Although the feathers and eyes of the little bird had turned golden-red, its movements as it pounced on Qiao Bai and the way it looked at him made Qiao Bai recognize it from the little bird before its evolution.

Xiao Wu: A look of condemnation

Birds have dignity too!

...However, since the Beast Tamer has just woken up, let's give way to the Beast Tamer!

This can't happen again!

Seeing this, Qiao Bai stopped stroking the little bird with great enthusiasm, lowered his eyes, and said in a somewhat sad voice, "Ah... does this mean I can't pet the little bird like this anymore? But the little bird's feathers are so warm, they're really captivating..."

As she spoke, Qiao Bai's voice grew softer and softer, tinged with a hint of grievance.

"If Xiao Wu doesn't like it, that's fine. It's not that big even if I don't touch it..."

Before Qiao Bai could finish speaking, Xiao Wu suddenly spread its large wings, and the dazzling golden-red wings were suddenly presented in front of Qiao Bai.

Little Crow: Touch!

The bird commands you to touch it hard!

╭(╯^╰)╮!

The bird definitely wasn't feeling sorry for the beast tamer!

Qiao Bai knew when to stop and stopped teasing Xiao Wu.

Qiao Bai stroked the little bird's feathers casually, checking on its condition. It seemed there wasn't much of a problem.

However… “If it successfully evolves into a three-legged golden crow, isn’t this size, with a wingspan of only a little over two meters, a bit too small?”

Qiao Bai said uncertainly.

Think of the legendary three-legged golden crow, which was like the sun!

While this little crow may not be on par with mythical creatures, it's still smaller than an eagle in nature. Compared to the legendary three-legged golden crow, the difference is simply too great.

Thinking it over, Qiao Bai activated his talent skill.

A brand-new data panel belonging to Xiao Wu appeared before Qiao Bai's eyes.

[Pet: Three-Legged Golden Crow]

[Attribute: Fire + Special + Flying]

【Variety: High-end Low-end+】

[Level: Intermediate Fifth Tier]

[Skills: King's Aura, King's Eye, Guardian Heart, Peck, Blink Magic, ..., Dance of Fire]

[Successfully evolved*]

[Power! My body is brimming with power! I feel like I could take down ten foxes in one go right now!]

Qiao Bai: "?"

Qiao Bai: "!!!"

He rubbed his eyes and checked again and again.

Xiao Wu's strength... really jumped directly from the intermediate fourth rank to the intermediate fifth rank!

The grade also jumped directly from mid-low level to high-low level!

It's still high-level low-level plus!

Although Qiao Bai knew that the words "Three-Legged Golden Crow" carried considerable weight, he never imagined that they would be this powerful!

Both in terms of variety and strength, it has taken a whole new step forward!

If Qiao Bai were to tell the whole story, no one would believe him, because it's just too outrageous!

As for Xiao Wu's inner thoughts... Qiao Bai skipped over them.

Little Wu has held a grudge against the Fire Fox Queen for quite some time now, and it's unlikely that these two pets will encounter each other anytime soon, so it's not a big problem.

Then Qiao Bai clicked on the asterisk after "[Successfully Evolved*]"

[Awakening of the Three-Legged Golden Crow Bloodline: After successfully evolving, one initially possesses the Three-Legged Golden Crow bloodline, but the complete awakening and fusion of the bloodline is a long process.]

A strong will can enhance the awakening and fusion of bloodlines, and in this process, physical form and appearance will continue to grow and change.

Qiao Bai touched his chin.

"This means... Little Wu, your current size is not the final size of the Three-Legged Golden Crow." Qiao Bai glanced at Little Wu.

Little Wu tilted its head.

kindness?

That seems to be the case!

Qiao Bai nodded: "I can understand. After all, it's so small, it doesn't look like it has the domineering presence that a three-legged golden crow should have."

"However..." Qiao Bai said, carefully weighing Xiao Wu in his hand after its evolution. A subtle expression appeared on his face: "Xiao Wu... you've gone from a little dumpling to a real, solid dumpling!"

"You... have gained weight."

Qiao Bai issued an ultimatum.

Xiaowu: Σ(っ°Д°;)っ

No, no!

The bird didn't believe it!

Qiao Bai wasn't about to let Xiao Wu off so easily. He continued, "You've gotten fatter. It might not be so convenient for you to stand on my shoulders or head anymore."

When it was small, Qiao Bai didn't have any objections.

The weight of the small bird could not possibly have any impact or harm on his body.

But Xiao Wu's current size and weight...

Whether Xiao Wu can still stand steadily on Qiao Bai's shoulder without crowding his head is another matter.

Just based on Xiao Wu's weight, if Xiao Wu stands on one shoulder for an extended period of time, Qiao Bai suspects that it won't be long before he develops very noticeable uneven shoulders.

Xiao Wu: ○｀Д○

No!

This is absolutely unacceptable!

Birds need to stick close to their beast tamers!

Just as Xiao Wu was about to start rolling around frantically, Qiao Bai quickly caught her and gently stroked the feathers on her wings, saying, "Don't be angry, Xiao Wu. You can't stand on my shoulders, but I can still hold you, can't I?"

The little bird tilted its head and pressed it against Qiao Bai's heart, listening to the sound of his beating heart and feeling his hand stroking its feathers.

Little Wu, who was just a little angry, suddenly felt much better.

Yes!

It can also snuggle into the beast tamer's arms!

Qiao Bai wiped the sweat from his brow, pleased with his own cleverness.

Then, Qiao Bai thought that Xiao Wu's size might get bigger and bigger in the future... Hmm, Qiao Bai suddenly felt the dilemma that only Li Gan had ever faced: what to do when your pet beast likes to act cute and cuddle too much?

Urgent... Okay, Qiao Bai isn't in a hurry right now. He can worry about the future later!

As Qiao Bai stroked the little bird's feathers, he discovered something interesting.

Although the little bird's feathers have turned a dazzling golden-red, once you smooth them out, you'll find that the top layer is still black. However, because of the golden-red color showing through the feathers below, when viewed in the sunlight, at first glance, you might mistake all of the little bird's feathers for golden-red.

That's not actually the case.

The color on Xiao Wu's body is more like two-sided; the upward side is black, but when viewed through the spiritual sea, it appears as a multicolored black.

On the lower level, whenever the little bird spreads its two-meter-long wings, its brilliant golden-red color is fully revealed!

While observing Xiao Wu's appearance, Qiao Bai was also thinking about Xiao Wu's next training direction.

Hmm... Xiao Wu's strength is already at the mid-level of the fifth rank, so even if he takes a break for a while, it shouldn't be a big problem, right?

Qiao Bai touched his chin.

Let's put it aside for now.

As for bloodline awakening and fusion, Qiao Bai wasn't in a hurry as he had imagined.

Forcing growth is not a good thing for Xiaowu.

With his level suddenly jumping from intermediate fourth rank to intermediate fifth rank, Xiao Wu needed time to adapt to his new power.

And there's also Xiao Wu's skills.

Yes.

Qiao Bai finally focused his attention on Xiao Wu's skills.

Due to evolutionary requirements, Ulquiorra has a large number of skills, a total of sixteen. However, in each battle, Ulquiorra doesn't use that many skills, and there are many skills that Ulquiorra has never even used.

Sometimes, if Qiao Bai didn't open the talent skills to take a look, he would almost forget what other skills Xiao Wu had.

Before the evolution, Qiao Bai had no way to do it, but now that the evolution is complete, Qiao Bai is thinking about whether to give up some skills to make Xiao Wu's skills look more streamlined.

after all.

Learning too many skills in such a diverse way is also a stressful thing for Xiao Wu himself.

Extraordinary beings are not stupid.

They are even very intelligent.

They will remember every skill they learn, and the moment the Beastmaster calls their name, they will recall the skill and use it.

Even if it's not used often, once you learn it, it will occupy a portion of your pet's mind. Occasionally, you might use the wrong move... It's a small thing, but it's not unheard of.

Just do it.

Skills can be learned but forgotten.

Fortunately, learning these skills was not a difficult task for Xiao Wu; the process was entirely due to Qiao Bai's cheat code.

It was a little painful to give up, but it was also to ensure that Xiao Wu could move forward better in the future.

Qiao Bai decisively selected two rarely used fire attribute skills and one rarely used special attribute skill in one go: the fire attribute skills [Flame Bite] and [Fire Attack], and the special attribute skill [Sleep Repair]. These three skills were used the least frequently, very rarely.

Among fire-attribute skills, Ulquiorra uses skills like Dance of Fire, Smoke Screen, and Fireball quite often.

The main focus is on a quick and decisive victory.

【Sleep Recovery】is a skill used by kiting and counter-attack styles, which can restore stamina and injuries through a short rest, but it is not suitable for the current Ulquiorra.

Forgetting it is actually easier for Xiao Wu.
