Compared to its physical transformation, Ziyun’s increase in strength was even more astounding.
Every growth stage increase for a Pet Beast represented a significant leap in strength. At this stage, the strength increase was no longer gradual, but rather it would surge all at once.
At this moment, Ziyun’s power had grown almost ten times stronger than it had been at the perfect Transcendent Stage, they were just not in the same league.
Ziyun felt confident that it could now tackle not just ten of its former self, but even one hundred.
It even started considering whether to go to the underground layer and spar with the Elite Stage pet beasts being fostered there.
Xu Ran slowly opened his eyes and looked at the enlarged Ziyun. He chuckled, “You’ve grown so much, it’s a bit hard to hold you now.”
“Meow?!” (What?!)
Every single one of Ziyun’s hairs stood on end, its good mood from breaking through disappeared in an instant.
No way!
It wanted a hug from its Beast Master!
“You want me to hold you this badly?” Seeing the larger Ziyun come over wanting to be hugged, Xu Ran couldn’t help but laugh. He hugged and patted its head, “Don’t worry too much. I heard about a skill called Reduction. It can shrink the body size of a Pet Beast.”
“I haven’t got this skill yet, but there will be opportunities in the future.”
“Meow-” (Is that true?)
Ziyun felt a bit better knowing there was a solution.
In that case, it must get this Reduction skill by any means necessary!
If it comes across a Pet Beast with the Reduction skill, it would force it to receive Washing and Protection!
Once Ziyun’s mood had settled, Xu Ran turned his gaze to the hanging clock on the wall.
There was still an hour left until closing time.
Quite a few things had happened today – winning the championship, picking a somewhat special Beast Egg, and finally breaking through to the second stage contract power.
He decided! The shop will open tomorrow!
Just as this thought popped into his mind, a familiar voice drifted in from outside the window.
“Boss Xu! Is Boss Xu there?”
This voice… it seemed to be Gu Ling’s?
Once he managed to recognize the owner of the voice, Xu Ran got down from the bed and walked to the window, opening it.
“I’m here, you…”
Xu Ran was about to ask about the reason for the visit, but his words stuck in his throat when he saw the person beside Gu Ling. His pupils dilated in surprise.
It was him!
Xu Ran would never forget; when the Tiger Hunting Squad was escorting him out of the city to complete the Novice Task given by the system, they encountered the dangerous Beast Tide.
He wouldn’t forget the strong adversary who saved him and the Tiger Hunting Squad from this danger at the most critical moment, as if heaven-sent.
Although the Good Luck Charm played a role, he did not take this rescue for granted.
Unfortunately, he never had the chance to meet him and express his gratitude afterward.
He never thought that the strong adversary would appear before his eyes!
“Wait a moment, I’ll come right down!”
Without another word, Xu Ran immediately closed the window and tidied his clothes, preparing to go downstairs.
“Uh…” Seeing Xu Ran’s sudden change in expression, Gu Ling looked puzzled, “What’s going on with him?”
“Hmm… Maybe he’s in a good mood because he just broke through?” Gu Wu paused before slowly replying.
He had noticed the young man’s gaze on him. Combining it with what the Red-eyed Demon Dragon had said earlier, it was likely that he had been recognized.
What to do? How can he impress his daughter smoothly?
Waiting online, a bit anxious.
“Maybe so.” Gu Ling shook her head helplessly, “Comrade Old Gu, did Xu Ran really break through to the second stage?”
“Just now I felt the fluctuation of a Pet Beast breaking through to the Elite Stage.” Gu Wu nodded slightly, “Judging from his reaction just now, it’s probably correct.”
“Sigh, I’m still far from the second stage. Seems like it’s going to be a long time before I can fight back against the Dark Scale Dragon.” Gu Ling patted the frustrated Dark Scale Dragon beside her.
She hadn’t been in a contract with the Dark Scale Dragon for long.
The Dark Scale Dragon is so powerful mainly because it is the progeny of Gu Wu’s Red-eyed Demon Dragon and was under the supervision and training of the Red-eyed Demon Dragon even before the contract.
Gu Ling’s second pet beast, which hasn’t yet been contracted, is also undergoing pre-contract training, aiming to reach the Elite Stage and All Skills Waning Moon level when contracted.
This type of cultivation method is not common in a third-level town like Qingzhou City, but in a second-level town or even higher first-level capitals, Beast Masters with the conditions would cultivate their pet beasts this way as much as possible.
While the father and daughter were talking, the door of the Foster Shop was opened by Xu Ran.
“Xu…”
Just as Gu Ling was about to greet him, the hurried Xu Ran had already brushed past her.
He walked briskly to Gu Wu, his face filled with gratitude, “I’m finally meeting you. I’m very thankful for the last time, if it wasn’t for you, I might already have been buried in the Beast Tide.”
Gu Ling:”???”
She turned her head in confusion, looking at Xu Ran and her father.
So… who could tell her what happened?!
Gu Wu gave Xu Ran an approving look.
Indeed, well-played, you deserve some credit.
He coughed softly, a sudden increase of expert flair in his aura, “It was effortless, no need to thank me.”
“I heard about your shop from my daughter before, after seeing your performance in the final, I was curious and came to have a look.” Gu Wu glanced at Ziyun, who followed Xu Ran and had already broken through to the Elite Stage, “I just happened to bump into your breakthrough.”
“Daughter?” Xu Ran turned his head to look at Gu Ling, then suddenly realized.
Indeed, calculating the time, this strong person and Gu Ling came to Qingzhou City at about the same time.
Regrettably, he had completely ignored this possibility before.
“Senior Gu, please.” Xu Ran immediately opened his mouth, “If you have any
pet beasts that need washing and protection, just let me know.”
“I do have some, but all my four pet beasts are Super Large Sized, you seem to not be able to wash and protect here?” Gu Wu followed him into the shop and shook his head slightly, “No need to bother, I came today for your pet beast.”
“Uh, we can’t at the moment, but maybe in the future.” Xu Ran insisted, “When there is a chance in the future, I hope Senior Gu would bring your pet beasts here for washing and protection, especially the Red-eyed Demon Dragon, consider it my repayment.”
“If that’s the case, I will not refuse.” Hearing the Red-eyed Demon Dragon’s eager voice in his mind, Gu Wu no longer refused.
“Senior, you just said that you came for my Ziyun?” Xu Ran glanced at Ziyun,
“Is it because of it being an unknown species?”
“I am a bit curious about that too, but it’s not why I came.” Gu Wu smiled, “The reason I came, is that in the final, I saw it use two skills that are stronger than the average two-star level ones.”
Is that why?
Xu Ran was taken aback.
Before he could indulge in his thoughts, Gu Wu slowly started, “You want to know the secret of evolution?”
“I’m all ears.” Xu Ran’s spirit lifted.
This person in front of him is at least a General Level Beast Master, his pet beasts have undergone evolution and so he has a greater understanding of evolution.
“You should know, Leader Species can at most reach the Leader Stage, if you want to break through after that, you need to evolve into a King Species with greater potential.” Gu Wu slowly began, “From Leader Species to King Species, there are two common points.”
“The first common point is awakening the special three-star skill of the King Species, the King’s Power.” Gu Wu glanced at Xu Ran’s expression, “It appears you already know this.”
“Besides that, another important common point is that all Talent Skills will undergo a Star Rising Phenomenon.” Gu Wu’s voice paused slightly, “Regardless of whether they come with Attributes or not.”
“All Talent Skills will transform into more powerful superior Talent Skills, improving by one star.”
“This…” Xu Ran’s pupils suddenly contracted.
So, evolution has such a miraculous effect?
No wonder it is every Beast Master’s ultimate pursuit.
“Everyone knows that evolution is hard, but few people know that the difficulty of evolution is letting all Talent Skills rise by one star.” Gu Wu explained, “This is not something a Beast Master and a pet beast can achieve by their own
effort.”
“It requires the full release of the potential of the pet beast.”
“So different pet beasts have different potential for evolution.”
“It’s not harder to evolve the more Talent Skills you have, and it’s not easier to evolve the fewer Talent Skills you have.”
“The easier it is for Talent Skills to rise by one star, the easier it is for the pet beast to evolve..”
