Please be my partner.

As this process continued, both bloodlines acquired some of each other's specialties and gained a deeper understanding of each other.

Seeing this, Mellen nodded slightly, knowing that there would basically be no problems with the second step.

But he did not relax, because the most dangerous and difficult part was the last third step.

This lasted for three days. With the continuous infusion of massive spiritual energy, the two bloodlines in the golden retriever's body expanded significantly and reached the critical point of saturation.

Next comes the final step of Golden Retriever’s evolution…burning!

Whether it is the bloodline of the Dark Prison Demon Dragon or the bloodline of the Holy Light Dragon, they are just prerequisites for the evolution of the [Light and Dark Wolf]. Cultivating and strengthening them to the limit is only to release more lasting and brilliant fireworks when burning.

At the moment when the light and dark bloodlines were completely saturated, the world seemed to be quiet for a moment. Through the perspective of the contract, Mellen saw the golden retriever staring at him. He naturally showed a confident smile and nodded slightly to his dog. The corners of the golden retriever's mouth slowly curled up, and it seemed extremely happy.

"Bear!~"

The light and dark bloodlines instantly burned in the golden-haired man's body, and it was at the limit from the beginning.

The burning at the source of this bloodline is extremely bright and dazzling, but it is also fleeting like fireworks, with only a moment of beauty. Even if the light and dark bloodline has been cultivated to the limit, it can only last for ten breaths at most. Golden Retriever needs to grasp the true meaning of light and darkness during this time.

At this moment, the world in Mellen's eyes became a series of square pictures. Every time he moved forward a square, his mood would be stirred.

Golden Retriever's perspective was much simpler. With the two bloodlines that had grown to their extremes, the Dark Prison Demon Dragon bloodline and the Holy Light Dragon bloodline, burning, it seemed that all the secrets of light and darkness between heaven and earth were revealed before it.

Reality is not a novel, there are not so many last-minute desperate comebacks. With Mellen's thorough preparation, Golden Retriever lived up to expectations. It only took him half the time to grasp the true meaning of light and darkness and meet the basic requirements for transformation and evolution. It can even use the remaining time to lay a better foundation for the future.

Mellen curled up the corners of his mouth, calmed down his nervous mood, and waited for the golden retriever to wake up.

At this time, the energy wrapped around the golden hair has changed from a mixture of light and dark to a mixed gray.

When the blood flame was completely burned out, Golden Retriever appeared in a brand new posture, looking at Mellen quietly.

At this time, the golden retriever has completely changed. The biggest change is the hair on its body. It has changed from the original dark gold color to the current gray. But if you look closely, you will find that these hairs are not gray. Each hair is black and white entangled together, so the overall look is gray.

The golden retriever came to Mellen and rubbed against him with its head down. Mellen was naturally excited and hugged the golden retriever in his arms and rubbed its head hard.

After expressing his emotions, Melen opened the Golden Retriever's attribute panel...

【Name】：Golden Retriever

[Race]: Light and Dark Wolf (Dark Orange King)

[Racial Level]: Fifth-level Saint

[Racial Skills]: Light and Dark Control, Light and Dark Fusion, Light and Dark Sublimation

[Evolution Direction]: → Sun and Moon Wolf (Golden Sacred)

……

……

[Control of Light and Darkness]: The Light and Dark Wolf possesses the power to control light and darkness. Any ability related to light and darkness can be easily learned and used. In addition, the Light and Dark Wolf can continuously receive relevant knowledge about light and darkness from the source of rules.

[Light and Dark Fusion]: The Light and Dark Wolf can fuse the two extremely opposing energies of light and darkness into a higher level of energy. Using the fused energy to use the abilities of light and darkness will receive a huge bonus, allowing it to obtain all the special features of light and darkness.

[Light and Dark Sublimation]: The Light and Dark Wolf can sublimate the light and dark essence in its body to the extreme, unleashing power beyond its current level. Using this ability will consume the light and dark essence in its body, greatly reducing its own strength. In severe cases, it may even fall in level or even die.

[Sun and Moon Wolf (Golden Sacred)]: Born sacred, carrying the sun and the moon on its back.

Evolution conditions: Possessing the orange royal bloodline of both yin and yang; Devouring two closely connected worlds that have "sun" and "moon" as their core rules respectively.

After reading the attributes of the golden retriever, Mellen breathed a sigh of relief.

The first is the improvement in strength. As expected, with the help of this evolution, Jinmao broke through the shackles in one fell swoop and became a fifth-level saint.

Secondly, Golden Retriever's evolution this time is equivalent to completely getting rid of the original Dark Prison Dragon bloodline and becoming a real wolf (dog?), and all its abilities have undergone earth-shaking changes.

The three new abilities all look very powerful, especially the final one [Light and Dark Sublimation], which "bursts out power beyond the current level". This means that after the Saint-level Golden Hair uses [Light and Dark Sublimation], he can burst out with the strength of a demigod!

Of course, the cost of using [Light and Dark Sublimation] is also extremely huge. It requires consuming the light and dark origins in the body, which is equivalent to permanently reducing one's own strength.

In addition to the above, the golden retriever has some minor changes. For example, its aura at this time is completely that of an ordinary dog. Even if a saint or even a demigod comes to check it out, they probably won't be able to detect any trace of extraordinaryness.

This is one of the characteristics of the [Light and Dark Wolf] itself. It can completely converge all internal and external energy fluctuations. This is an ability that any assassin dreams of.

After the golden retriever completed its evolution, Mellen was not in a hurry to leave. After all, the golden retriever had been completely reborn this time, and it would take some time to adapt to its new abilities.

In this way, Melen stayed in this chaotic area and began to let Xiao Honglian and Nasus accompany Golden Retriever to exercise, but soon they were unwilling to take action.

In Nasus' words, Golden Retriever's ability of [Light and Dark Fusion] is too tricky. The fused energy will be directly upgraded to a higher level without any thought, no matter what light and dark related abilities are used. The Holy Spirit Dog can't even break Golden Retriever's defense.

Correspondingly, Xiao Honglian couldn't do anything to Golden Retriever.

In the next few days, Melen simply wandered around this chaotic area with Golden Retriever, hoping to encounter a saint-level monster to practice his skills.

Unfortunately, things went against our wishes. There seemed to be no saint-level monsters in this chaotic area.

A few days passed like this, and Melen finally stopped his meaningless search and prepared to return to the Golden Academy.

Three days later, in the Great World of Peru, Noer City, it was still prosperous.

After Melen walked out of the teleportation array, he saw Xinko who had been waiting for a long time. The latter smiled and gave him a big hug.

There were many people in the city, so the two of them didn't say much, just exchanged a few simple greetings. After getting in Xinke's car, they started to communicate normally.

Mellen asked directly: "Did anything interesting happen in the Golden Academy while I was away? And how is the Wiggins family doing?"

Xinke smiled bitterly and said, "Let's talk about the Wiggins family first."

"Tim Wiggins's pursuit of you wasn't without cost. Because of this incident, the Golden Academy has already dismissed him from his position and is investigating him. Even the Wiggins family has issued a public statement severing ties with him."

"Of course, everyone knows that the Wiggins family's statement is just empty talk. It seems that Tim Wiggins was ready to abandon the Golden Academy the moment he decided to hunt you down. He never returned after that."

"However, according to the intelligence our family has gathered, Tim Wiggins doesn't seem to be far away from the Peruvian world, and we can occasionally catch some clues about him."

Chapter 398 Assessment and Compensation

Hearing the information about Tim Wiggins, Mellen's eyes flashed with interest, and he immediately asked, "Is there any more specific news?"

After carefully recollecting the situation for a moment, Xin Ke said uncertainly, "Although there's no concrete evidence, based on the clues Tim Wiggins left behind and the seemingly unrelated intelligence our family unexpectedly obtained, we can make a connection. Tim Wiggins seems to be involved with certain forces at the Silver Academy."

"Silver College?" Mellen frowned. He didn't expect that Tim Wiggins could involve another one of the three major colleges.

Xin Ke suddenly came to his senses, looked at Mellen in surprise, and asked, "Mellen, why do you want to know so much? Could it be that when you come back this time..."

After all, Xin Ke was a good friend of Mellen who had been together for a long time. Although he knew the latter's character well, he also understood it quite well. At first, he did not think about it in other ways. He thought that Mellen simply felt that the limelight had passed and wanted to return to the academy.

But seeing Mellen's performance at this moment, another inexplicable thought immediately appeared in his mind. It was this thought that almost made Xinko's jaw drop to the ground.

Mellen smiled slightly, but didn't explain. He continued to ask, "What about the Wiggins family? Are there any special moves over there?"

Sinko suppressed his surprise and said, "Our family's intelligence personnel have also considered what you said. They have been tracking the Wiggins family from many aspects, but they have not found any actions that could possibly lead to a connection with Tim Wiggins."

Mellen shrugged regretfully and asked, "What about the academy? Has anything interesting happened in the past few years since I was away?"

Xin Ke curled his lips and said, "What else can the academy do? It's nothing more than which influential figure rises today, who defeats whom in the sequence battlefield tomorrow, and which lucky person is favored by the instructor and applied for the academy seed the day after tomorrow."

Melen could tell that although Xinko spoke with disdain, there was still a hint of envy in his tone.

But there was nothing that could be done about it. Before Xinke became a saint, his profession was only suitable for auxiliary work. With such a profession, he was basically isolated from various events in the academy.

Xin Ke continued, "By the way, not long ago, the three major academies jointly opened a special secret realm called 'Fighting Despair'. It's said that this secret realm is extremely suitable for battle fanatics to enter. If you come a little earlier, you might be able to get a spot. The academy team may have already set off by now."

"Battle of Despair?" Mellen showed interest. He had not forgotten his last experience in the ocean secret realm. The various secret realms of the three major academies were all conducive to the growth of students. So he asked, "Are there any special resources or benefits in this secret realm?"

Xin Ke spread his hands and said, "I don't know. You know my family's upbringing. My father rarely tells me things beyond my ability."

"But I did hear some gossip. It's said that there aren't any substantial resources to be obtained in this desperate battle. Once you enter, it's just constant fighting, and every victory seems to bring some benefits."

"Furthermore, if you can hold on to the end, the three major colleges have prepared generous rewards."

Mellen nodded slightly, feeling a little sorry.

Next, Xinke talked about a lot of gossip in the academy, and Melen listened with great interest.

Academy Island, the Golden Gate, and the Golden Academy are still bustling with activity, and there doesn't seem to be any change.

With Mellen's return, he himself didn't feel anything yet, but the news spread quickly in a certain circle, attracting a lot of attention.

In the Vice President's office, Bellomo put down the documents in his hand, looked up at the secretary who was reporting the latest news to him, and said with a smile, "That kid named Mellen has returned to the academy?"

The secretary said respectfully, "Yes, Lord Bellomo, because you instructed me before, I came to report to you as soon as I received the news."

Bellomo tapped the tabletop lightly, then said after a moment, "To be able to escape from Tim's clutches, he must have some skills. And this time he returned to the academy with such fanfare. Ha! Perhaps something interesting will happen next. Who knows."

"Well, now that Mellen has returned, he must first make up for the assessments he missed. Bring him to see me after the assessments are completed."

The secretary was startled and immediately responded respectfully.

After entering the Golden Academy, Melen said goodbye to Xinko, then called out to the academy elf to explain that he needed to take a make-up exam. Of course, the reason was not that he was being hunted by the academy instructor, but that he missed the time while traveling outside.

College elves are a special species between life and supernatural powers. They are commonly found in various public facilities of the college. Calling them can not only understand various public information in the college, but also connect with the college's intelligent computer network to handle various college affairs.

Under the guidance of the college elf, Mellen went to the student affairs office to formally register and explain his behavior, and then went to the student assessment area.

Because it is not the end-of-year student assessment period, the assessment area seems a bit deserted. After verifying Mellen's identity, a tutor took him into the assessment venue.

Because Melen had never participated in any assessment, he had to start from the beginning, which also included a special assessment that only first-year students would take... a written test.

The so-called written test tests the mastery of basic supernatural knowledge. Basically, as long as you have studied the course seriously for a period of time, you can pass it easily.

Basic supernatural knowledge may seem unimportant, and much of it may not even be used in a lifetime. However, once there are errors in some of the points, it is likely to be a time bomb that can explode at any time.

Mellen naturally had no problem and finished the test paper, which was supposed to take an hour, in just a few minutes.

The instructor used the college's intelligent computer to correct the papers on the spot, so naturally they got full marks.

The next assessment only needs to be conducted at the difficulty of the third grade. Because Melen is a combat-type extraordinary profession, combat is a required test in the assessment. In addition, there are corresponding test questions such as exploration, command, puzzle solving, guarding, rescue, etc. Basically, each item requires the reasonable use of one's own strength and extraordinary knowledge.

These tests are all conducted in a special virtual environment, and the difficulty level can only be described as so-so.

In the last battle assessment, Melen only sent out Xiao Liuli and swept all opponents.

Looking at the smug little fox, Mellen smiled and patted its head, while opening the attribute panel...

【Name】：Glass

[Race]: Three-tailed Fox (Deep Purple Lord) (Descendant of the Fairy)

[Racial Level]: Level 4

[Racial Skills]: Charm, Foxlight, Spirit Guard

[Evolution Direction]: → Nine-tailed Fox (Deep Orange King)

……

……

After evolving into a three-tailed fox, Xiao Liuli's abilities did not change, except that their strength was significantly improved. In addition, by inheriting the Nine-Tailed Fox's legacy, he acquired many abilities of the demon race, and various methods emerged one after another.

Because he completely digested the essence of the immortal spirit, Xiao Liuli's strength reached the legendary limit in one fell swoop. His super-powerful illusion ability made him almost invincible in the same level. Any enemy would fall into the illusion under Xiao Liuli's gaze without knowing it.

In the end, Mellen's results were all qualified without exception.

After the assessment, Mellen felt quite relaxed. He was about to go to the college library to read when he was stopped by someone who had been waiting for a long time.

"Mr. Mellen, please wait a moment."

Melen looked at the gentle middle-aged man who called him with confusion.

The latter directly stated his purpose: "I am the secretary of Vice President Bellomo. I am here to see you because the Vice President has invited me. I wonder if you are free now?"

Mellen was startled, thought for a moment, nodded and said, "I'm free."

The secretary smiled and said, "That's perfect. Please follow me."

Following the secretary, Melen soon arrived at an elegant area with mountains and water. There was only one building, which was the office building of Vice President Bellomo.

Unlike the other vice-president of the Golden Academy, Bellomo enjoys socializing and often invites senior instructors from the academy and powerful figures from the major forces affiliated with the Golden Academy to banquets. Therefore, this so-called "office building" occupies a large area, and only a small part of it is used for office work.

Walking along the luxurious corridor, you can see some tutors drinking and chatting, looking quite relaxed.

As Mellen walked by, he could hear some whispers. Although no one was pointing, he could feel that these mentors were paying attention to him.

After entering Bellomo's office, the secretary reported and left.

Mellen also looked at the Vice President of the Golden Academy in front of him...

He looked like a young man with a lazy expression. His golden hair was casually draped over his head. He was wearing a black robe with gold thread on the edge, which left his chest half exposed, a bit like pajamas.

At this time, Bellomo was looking at a document in his hand with great interest. Because of the angle, Melen could not see what was on the document.

After a moment's silence, Bellomo put down the documents in his hand and looked at Melen, who immediately bowed and greeted him.

According to the rules of the three major academies over the generations, in order to become a vice-president, in addition to having sufficient qualifications in all aspects, there is another rigid requirement, that is, the strength must reach the level of a perfect saint, that is... the holy body, holy domain, and dependents, all three must be perfect.
