The crowd quickly retreated, their faces filled with shock as they watched the king born from the firelight.
Xintong gazed at the three fluffy tails, which transformed into three incredibly majestic fiery dragons, burning intensely and wildly, shaking his very perception of reality.
The fierce fire flickered and danced about!
Is this the once gentle and adorable Red Fox cub?
The entire species has changed!
His face turned pale, a wisp of grey mist subtly appearing in his eyes.
"Even the Red Fox can undergo Mutated Evolution?"
"In the Pet Beast World, nothing is impossible. Even the Cyan Silk Worm might turn into a world-shaking Stinging Dragon. What else couldn’t happen?"
"Its potential is likely at the high elite level! Its Master is indeed a lucky person."
"The probability of a Mutated Evolution is one in ten thousand, and many even become weaker!"
"There’s just no justice; good-looking, and insanely lucky too, damn!"
Everyone looked on with envy. Having a Pet Beast that underwent Mutated Evolution could help its Master reach higher levels. Behind this were significant boosts in status, wealth, and power! How could other Beast Tamers not be jealous?!
"Perfect! Absolutely perfect! This is a mutant variety of the Red Fox; it could be considered a completely new species!" Professor Liu, well-versed in his knowledge, gazed fervently at those three fox tails. For Pet Beasts like foxes, their potential could be determined by the number of their tails. The more tails, the stronger the power, up to an eventual six or even nine tails!
"Can the testing begin?" Chu Yi glanced over and asked nonchalantly.
"Of course, no problem at all!" Professor Liu immediately urged his assistants to proceed with the most comprehensive equipment for testing.
The data feedback left the group of appraisal experts dumbfounded.
"Fire-based aptitude, classified as super-rank, with astonishing fire control ability."
"The fur has excellent Defense Power, capable of producing Flame Armor, with high Magic Resistance, while physical resistance is relatively weak."
"Its claws and teeth can tear through 20mm steel plates, and Enchantment further enhances its attack power."
"This Pet Beast can stimulate its bloodline, making its entire body’s blood and qi boil, greatly enhancing all attributes, similar to a special technique like Berserk!"
"With physical contact, using Spiritual Energy as a medium, it causes graphitization. Heavens, is this an awakened innate ability?!"
After a round of testing, Professor Liu’s eyes shone brightly. This combination of skills ranked T0 even among high elites!
Finally, its Master, Chu Yi, was to name this three-tailed Red Fox’s species.
"Your Pet Beast is indeed outstanding. Have you considered which evolution route to cultivate it along in the future?" Professor Liu, who cherished talent, wished he could train Bika himself. "Though Mutated Evolution is good, it also means the Federation has no data on it. Subsequent advancements will rely on your own exploration."
"Understood, Professor," Chu Yi nodded.
Bika shrank back to its cub size and darted up Chu Yi’s pant leg, its tail hooked around his neck as it perched on his familiar shoulder. After the testing, Bika was tired and wanted to sleep.
"The Pet Beast’s data has been registered. Make sure Catherine handles the reimbursement later."
"Okay, thank you, Professor."
Bidding farewell to Professor Liu, amidst envious gazes, Chu Yi left the testing center, secretly pleased.
Finally, he had officially become a Beast Tamer.
This was a great boon for him; having an official status opened up so many possibilities.
Next, I’ll accumulate more evolution points in the Bloody Wilderness, then return to the academy, re-enter the Starfire Sequence, and obtain privileges.
By the way, how are Bika’s stats?
Chu Yi opened his Star Bracelet, and a panel emerged.
[Name]: Three-Tailed Mo Xie
[Attributes]: Beast, Fire
[Skills]: Fierce Claw, Fire Armor, Burst Gun, Chu Lian, Blast Flame, Scorch, Ink Fire
[Special Technique]: Frenzy
[Status]: This Pet Beast is a new species. Evolution pathways are unknown; the Master must explore them.
[Evolution Path]: Data updating. Searching for similar evolution paths...
Bika’s combat power rivals that of a War General.
And through the Sun and Moon Mark, by sharing power, it can use Deceit Beast skills, making its true combat strength even higher.
Chu Yi was in a wonderful mood. However, he chose a route outside the barracks to deliberately avoid Jiang Qiuyun.
That troublesome woman has regained her memory. She acknowledged an enemy as family! The more she thinks about it, the angrier she’ll get. She must be scheming something sinister to use against a pure-hearted young man like me.
Hmph! As shrewd as I am.
At this moment, a chill gust of icy wind brushed across his cheek.
"Since you’re here, why hide?" Chu Yi caressed the Ring of Curse, his pupils glinting with a faint silver light as he spoke coldly.
Icy gusts of wind swirled around. An ice-blue falcon circled above, its wings gleaming like steel blades, stirring flurries of snow. The Ice Falcon: a mid-level elite, ice-type Pet Beast, possessing excellent Ice Control Technique.
Soon after, a man in a white coat stood before him. It was Xintong.
Was he furious about being expelled from the testing center by his mentor due to his temporary blindness, and now he’s come to attack me?
"It’s you." Chu Yi, deciding not to reveal the Deceit Beast for now, had Bika leap out and transform into the Three-Tailed Mo Xie.
Its three fox tails tore through the sky like dragons, as if shattering the firmament. Massive flames spiraled upwards, distorting the very air.
"Master, I have no hostility."
However, as Xintong spoke, he let the Ice Falcon land on his shoulder. He lifted an ordinary-looking face, but his eyes were vacant and hollow, a greyish mist swirling within them. He seemed just like a... living puppet.
"’Master?’ What are you talking about?" Chu Yi naturally didn’t believe his first words. He said coldly, "Losing your job was your own fault; it has nothing to do with me. However, if you offer some resources as compensation, I might put in a good word for you with Professor Liu. How about it?"
Xintong revealed an eerie smile. "Master, rest assured, this place is very secure. This body is merely a temporary vessel for me."
At this point, he knelt on one knee, expressing his allegiance to Chu Yi:
"Your devoted servant, Ian, a Golden Bishop, has traveled thousands of miles to welcome Your Lordship’s grand arrival!"
Chu Yi stood motionless, staring at him, his mind racing.
So, this is the Golden Bishop Assa mentioned was coming to Yaoguang City.
Cautiously, Chu Yi didn’t trust him and asked vaguely, "What do you want with me?"
Xintong rose and said respectfully, "Divine Lord, Assa has told me of your deeds. Your purpose is to disrupt the schemes of the God of Flesh and Blood!"
"Your wisdom is unfathomable, your strategies well-conceived, your plans flawless..." He began with a torrent of flattery, glorifying the greatness of the Master of Grey Mist, claiming that under the Master’s glorious leadership, the world would enter the Age of Grey Mist...
His sycophancy was top-notch.
Chu Yi found the flattery quite comfortable, wondering if cultists were always this adept at bootlicking their Evil Gods.
After a while, Ian finally got to the point. "This body originally belonged to someone named Ji Wu. He was seeking to purchase Your Lordship’s Pet Beast. I took the opportunity to parasitize him."
