Chapter 1188
"Evolution? How could there be Evolution?" Migala appeared stunned on the surface, but his mind was in absolute turmoil, equally bewildered.
Qiao Sang had already reached the B-Class Beastmaster level, with her brain domain even advancing to an A-Class Beastmaster's strength. There was absolutely no chance her perception could be wrong.
Yet Yan Jiaou's Evolution? How was that possible?
Yan Jiaou had only just begun evolving less than a year ago. Now it was already evolving into the Imperial Tier?
Even if Yan Jiaou possessed sufficient endurance to absorb an adequate amount of Fire Spirit Crystal, wouldn't it still need time to digest its absorption?
And what about the Evolution conditions?
Had Yan Jiaou fulfilled them?
They had planned to charge forward and assist Li Ou Yasi, yet instead of dying or being maimed, Yan Jiaou had evolved first?
Was this normal?
Migala's mind raced with a thousand thoughts.
The barren land fell into a prolonged silence. When the stillness stretched so long that Migala began suspecting his disciple's emotional fluctuations might have caused a mental instability leading to a severe mistake and an impossible misperception, Qiao Sang murmured:
"Back then Ju Jiji predicted Fangy would evolve while approaching the Sun. I never expected it to be now..."
Honestly, she felt a weight lift from her chest.
Although Fangy's evolution completely surprised her, it also proved Ju Jiji's prediction was accurate. If the prediction held true, Fangy would definitely evolve into the Imperial Rank.
This meant Fangy would absolutely survive.
"Steel Chief..."
Steel Treasure shared his Beastmaster's thoughts, exhaling in relief before breaking into a smile.
This was truly one of the few good pieces of news they'd received.
"Xunxun!"
Treasure Seeker clearly reached the same realization. Snapping back to attention, he gazed upward with a delighted expression and let out a cry.
Big Brother Yabao evolved!
That meant he wouldn't be in danger anymore!
"Ice Emperor."
Lulu's tail instinctively swished as his face broke into obvious delight.
"Qingqing..."
Qingbao fell into contemplation. Was evolution really this easy? According to his memory inheritance, the higher one advanced, the more difficult evolution became...
"Tingting..."
Tingbao didn't fully grasp the significance of Fangy's evolution yet. Snuggling close to Lulu's side, he looked up at the glaring sunlight and sighed inwardly.
It was so hot. He wondered when they could return...
Pengamei cast a silent glance at Dragon King.
"Momo!"
Dragon King somehow understood her gaze and let out an irritated cry.
Imperial Tier and Imperial Tier were different, alright!
Pengamei withdrew her line of sight and continued looking upward.
Migala's previous thoughts scattered instantly. After pondering for several seconds, he stated:
"If the prediction is true, then Yan Jiaou's evolution path might involve the Sun's power."
When was the Sun's power most intense and easiest to absorb? Undoubtedly, it was now.
Fangy might not even have absorbed the Sun Power yet. Perhaps the Everstone burned away from the heat, letting the absorbed energy overflow, which the Golden Finger directly triggered into evolution.
Qiao Sang only spoke half the sentence:
"It seems the Everstone was already burned away by the Sun's power above..."
After all, even Pengamei could be scorched by the Sun Power, so how could the Everstone possibly withstand it?
Suddenly recalling something, she quickly turned to Lulu and urged:
"Hurry, heal Pengamei."
She had been so preoccupied with Fangy and Li Ou Yasi's matters that she nearly forgot about Pengamei's injuries.
"Ice Emperor."
A Cobalt Blue Light emanated from the gemstone on Lulu's forehead, shining upon Pengamei and beginning to heal her.
Learning of Fangy's evolution instantly lightened the atmosphere.
Only Xialala still in Colorful Bud form, Re Li Luoka, and the Freshbloom-stage Xialala remained solemn as they looked upward.
Understanding the situation, Migala's expression remained somewhat dazed, but the shock and disbelief dissipated somewhat as he looked up.
Qiao Sang shared the same sentiment. The moment she lifted her head, her expression turned grave once more.
The prediction was true, the future was real - Fangy would evolve, and Li Ou Yasi would become a spiritual entity...
As Treasure Seeker and the others raised their heads, the surrounding atmosphere sank into silence again.
High above.
The Sun Power distorted the evolution white light.
"Ya Ya!"
Within the white light, Fangy let out a pained cry - something unprecedented in previous evolutions.
The Sun Power was scorching Fangy within the white light.
Li Ou Yasi looked downward, suppressing the urge to curse while absorbing the Sun Power, his eyes flashing red for a moment.
The next second, a red barrier instantly enveloped the white light, protecting its core.
The red barrier quickly developed scorched holes, but each hole immediately repaired itself, repeating this cycle endlessly.
Within the white light, Fangy's pained cries ceased.
As time passed, the white light gradually expanded.
Absorbing the Sun Force, Li Ou Yasi inwardly cursed Fangy a hundred times.
Though his mind raged, his hands kept repairing the red barrier.
Unknown how much time passed, but within the red barrier, the white light gradually dissipated. A familiar figure thirty meters in size emerged high above - golden-red fur shining brilliantly under the sunlight, crimson red eyes contrasting with pitch-black sclera, white eyebrows with white markings beneath each eye, flame-like golden-red hair flowing backward from its head, massive golden-red wings raised high and flowing like flame, and a long, bushy tail ending in flame-like patterns.
"Ya Ya!"
Fangy spread his wings wide, roaring with magnificent might as he stood proudly in the sky.
Li Ou Yasi looked downward and abruptly withdrew the red barrier.
"Ya Ya!"
Fangy's excited expression vanished. Letting out a cry, he resumed absorbing the Sun Force.
This time, no pain crossed his face.
Li Ou Yasi gazed downward thoughtfully.
Approximately five minutes passed before Fangy's expression began twisting.
"Lili."
Li Ou Yasi looked at him and called out.
"Ya Ya!"
Fangy gritted his teeth against the pain and responded.
Li Ou Yasi ignored him further, looking upward. Once again, he transformed into a red streak, soaring upward.
Seeing this, Fangy flapped his wings, becoming a golden-red streak chasing upward.
Suddenly, the red streak halted.
Li Ou Yasi looked down, opening his mouth without hesitation to release a red beam filled with destructive power.
No chance to dodge, the red beam directly hit the golden-red glow.
"Ya Ya!"
Fangy let out a pained cry as the red beam struck him. His massive body flew backward helplessly.
"Bang!!!"
He flew all the way back to the barren land.
