Beast Taming Patrol

Chapter 103: Cat-Ear Lady

The girl gently pointed toward the distant Energy Target, and a pale blue color quietly gathered at her fingertip. The surrounding Energy Storm seemed to be summoned, drawn in by the pale blue until it formed a bowl-thick Frost Storm, like a heavy cannon firing at the Energy Target.

"Boom!!!”

A loud noise echoed as the Energy Target shattered in response, and soon, text appeared on the holographic screen.

Bonding Co-operation Index: 73.

"Phew~” The girl let out a breath of relief and muttered softly, “It increased a bit, which is pretty good. After all, it’s a Frost Storm; I can’t expect too much more. Slow and steady wins the race. One day, I’ll surely raise the Bonding Co-operation Index to 100.”

As she whispered to herself, the girl’s figure also began to change slowly.

A goose-yellow glow flashed across her brow, her face’s light markings began to fade, the snowflake mark on her brow shattered, and the pair of ears and the cat tail that were arching behind her turned into fine light and dissipated. Her long hair shifted from snowy white to its normal black color, except for a strand of white hair on her cheeks that remained unchanged.

That was dyed by the girl herself, not caused by the Guardian Beast Co-operation.

As the girl returned to her normal state, a snowy white Frost Storm appeared beside her.

"Meow~(≖ω≖)” (It improved a bit. Beast Tamer, I want a reward, a catnip Energy Cube.)

"Alright, alright, alright.” The girl shook her head helplessly, bent down, and picked up the Frost Storm in her arms, “My little ancestor, I’ll get it for you right now.”

Holding the Frost Storm, the girl quickly left the training room.

Outside the training room, passing through the corridor, was a living room as magnificent as a palace.

This training room turned out to be privately owned and installed in their home.

Entering the living room, the girl pulled out a catnip-flavored Energy Cube and handed it to the Frost Storm in her arms. Watching the Frost Storm immediately struggle out of her arms upon receiving the Energy Cube, she wrinkled her nose in dissatisfaction, “You heartless little ancestor!”

"Meow!” (I won’t listen to your nonsense!)

"Sigh!” With a deep sigh, the girl took out her communicator and started browsing. Soon, her eyes fixed on something, “Speaking of which, it’s that time of the year again for the annual Breeding Achievement Competition…”

She glanced at the Frost Storm next to her, who was happily enjoying the Energy Cube, “Snowball, it would be great if someone discovered the evolution of the Frost Storm at this year’s Breeding Achievement Competition.”

"Meow~(≖ω≖)” (Give it up~)

"Wow! You’re so mean! I’m talking about the evolution of your kind, you know?!” The girl’s eyes widened in anger and then she clicked into a live streaming room, logging into her account and quickly typing something. ȑáNö฿Ěṥ

Soon, among the dense barrage of messages in the live streaming room, a new one appeared with gold fonts and flashy effects, all signs of the dignity of a VIP.

[(♚VIP) When will the Frost Storm have an evolution: Does this Breeding Achievement Competition have an evolution for the Frost Storm? A one million League coins reward for the Frost Storm evolution.]

Ignoring a big pile of follow-up comments screaming “Rich lady 666” and blocking a bunch of harassing private messages, the girl lay on the couch languidly, stretched lazily, and showed off her graceful figure.

"It hasn’t started yet? Then I’ll wait a bit longer.”

Within the seats of Mountain City University, Zhang Xuyang stood up, curiously looking around.

He was searching for the Beast Tamer named Lin Su that he had met the day before.

Soon, Zhang Xuyang spotted Lin Su among the seats belonging to Mountain City University.

Why is Lin Su over there?

Zhang Xuyang’s brow furrowed slightly, then he seemed to understand something.

He might have guessed wrong.

Perhaps Lin Su wasn’t the descendant of some bigwig in District 11 but rather a descendant of a researcher from Mountain City University, there to broaden his experience.

He sighed slightly in his heart.

If the other party’s elder was within Mountain City University, then convincing him to choose Mountain City University was not very hopeful.

Never mind.

Zhang Xuyang no longer paid attention to the other party and focused his gaze on the woman with a standoffish air and long black hair in front of him.

After the opening ceremony is completed, Researcher Shi Yuhua will be the first to represent Mountain City University to showcase their research results.

Thinking of this, Zhang Xuyang couldn’t help but clench his fists tightly.

This research result could be said to be era-defining.

Its importance was beyond doubt, and the reaction it would provoke was guaranteed to be massive.

He could hardly wait to see the shocked expressions on everyone’s faces.

Soon, the breeding competition began.

After the host finished introducing the sponsors and judges, Shi Yuhua stepped onto the podium on behalf of the team from Capital University.

"A beast’s evolutionary type, in theory, can ascend three minor ranks,” Shi Yuhua began with a calm tone. “For instance, a high-rank elite class beast, in theory, could evolve to a high-rank leader class beast at its peak.”

Just a sentence in, Lin Su below couldn’t help but frown slightly.

It was common knowledge on the planet of Blue Star that a beast’s evolutionary type could only improve by three minor ranks at most.

But this theory was incorrect.

Just Xue Henqing’s evolutionary type alone could prove this point, not to mention that there were more examples similar to Xue Henqing’s in the world of Divine Martial Stars.

However, Lin Su did not refute the other party with examples, nor was he willing to stick his neck out, so he chose to stay silent and quietly listen to what Shi Yuhua had to say next.

"By the same token, a low-rank leader class beast, in theory, could evolve to a low-rank monarch class beast in one evolution.”

Shi Yuhua’s voice rose slightly. “But in fact, no one has ever discovered an evolutionary path that directly leads a low-rank leader class beast to a low-rank monarch class beast – until now! Therefore, what I am about to present today from Capital University’s latest breeding achievement is era-defining!”

"No wonder she’s being so arrogant this time,” Qin Nan frowned as she watched Shi Yuhua waving her arms on stage. “She must have found the direct evolutionary path from a low-rank leader class to a low-rank monarch class beast.”

"Nan, is this research finding that impressive?” Lin Su asked, somewhat puzzled. “Although there isn’t a single-step evolution into the monarch class, there are many two-step routes, right?”

"It’s not that simple,” Qin Nan shook her head. “Though beasts have unlimited potential for evolution, there is such a thing as evolutionary potential. The more times they evolve, the higher the probability of evolutionary failure. Therefore, being able to evolve a more powerful beast with fewer evolutionary steps naturally carries a significant advantage.”

"Heh!” snorted Qin Nan. “It’s a good thing you’re here; otherwise, that woman would have had us all fooled! The more arrogant she is now, the harder she’ll be slapped in the face later.”

On the stage, as Shi Yuhua spoke, a line of text appeared within the holographic projection.

"The monarch class evolutionary type of the low-rank leader class Mushroom Baby.”

Most of the audience was taken aback at that moment, quickly followed by expressions of astonishment.

Although they had guessed as much from Shi Yuhua’s words earlier, the confirmation still inevitably shocked them.

An evolutionary path directly to the monarch class had actually been discovered!

"Oh?” Qin Nan leaned back slightly. “Not bad at all. To think that that woman’s research could actually turn out to be unexpectedly beneficial to me.”

Her third beast was precisely a Mushroom Baby, which had not yet evolved, and the evolutionary path Shi Yuhua proposed was precisely what her Mushroom Baby could use.

In an instant, Qin Nan found Shi Yuhua’s presence somewhat more tolerable.

Mmm, she decided, perhaps she’d take fewer embarrassing photos of her later.

Just fifty should do.

Meanwhile, Lin Su was thinking about something else.

Mushroom Baby… No wonder Zhang Xuyang, the bright student from Capital University, had contracted with a healing class beast to participate in the research. As a student involved in the project, he must have been aware of its details. Probably, he had contracted the Mushroom Baby in anticipation of this moment, right?

"I believe many are familiar with Mushroom Baby, a leader class healing-type beast,” Shi Yuhua spoke up with a clear voice. “But as a low-rank leader class beast, not many have committed to its contract.”

"The reason is simple: Mushroom Baby does not possess combat abilities. Even after learning Wood-element attack skills through training, its combat power is much less than other beasts of the same level!”

"And this is another advantage of the brand-new evolutionary type I have discovered!” Shi Yuhua looked at the countless eager and curious eyes below, her voice raising unconsciously. “This evolutionary type not only retains Mushroom Baby’s healing abilities but also boasts combat strength not inferior to other combat-type beasts of the same class!”

Below, Lin Su’s expression suddenly became peculiar at this moment.

Hearing that description…

It couldn’t be the kind he was aware of, could it?
