Chapter 23: Evolution Begins
Chapter 23: Evolution Begins
At a little past ten in the evening, the scenic area was incredibly peaceful, with almost no one around.
The reason it was described as almost empty was that in such a spiritually rich and picturesque mountain resort, there were bound to be night hikers.
Some came to admire the stars of the night sky, while others were here to witness the sunrise the next morning.
However, their destinations were almost exclusively the mountain peak.
Halfway up the mountain, it was eerily quiet.
To be precise, it was only quiet for a moment, and then two figures slowly appeared.
At the same time, not far from the entrance of the scenic area, in a hotel room...
Seven subordinates stood in front of their captain, Liu Changfeng, the leader of the Public Security Bureau's Special Operations Team, dressed in black uniforms. His gaze was cold and sharp as he announced their mission for the night.
"Capture them alive if possible, but if not, eliminate them on the spot!"
One of the team members spoke up, "Captain, what about the tourists in the scenic area?"
Liu Changfeng turned to the team member, "Don't worry, there aren't many tourists lingering in the area at night, and our colleagues from the Public Security Bureau are already mixed in with them to provide protection."
After this brief explanation, Liu Changfeng didn't say more. He raised his hand and waved it down forcefully.
As his hand moved, a large, azure-blue moth, about the size of a basin, suddenly appeared from thin air.
The azure moth flapped its wings, scattering a dazzling array of starry lights. Liu Changfeng and the seven team members were bathed in this starlight, instantly becoming invisible and disappearing without a trace.
Meanwhile, elsewhere, Li Qian had arrived at the Hundred Foot Waterfall with An Paozi.
"You've kept us in suspense long enough, haven't you?" An Paozi glanced at the rushing waterfall and then turned his curious gaze towards Li Qian.
"Yes, I have," Li Qian smiled faintly, exuding a confident demeanor.
As his words fell, he pointed with his finger.
He was pointing at the nearby water basin, and just as An Paozi was puzzled, a light blue hexagram summoning array suddenly appeared on the water's surface.
An Paozi was stunned for a moment, and then his face showed disbelief, "You've already contracted a companion beast? You don't want the one assigned by the school?"
The school-assigned companion beasts had considerable potential, and Li Qian had already contracted a beast, which meant he must have found one with even greater potential.
The light blue hexagram array faded away.
Er...
When An Paozi got a clear look at the companion beast Li Qian had summoned, he was so shocked that he froze in place.
He even...
...rubbed his eyes, perhaps in disbelief at what he was seeing.
"A carp?!"
When he confirmed that the hexagram array had disappeared and the companion beast in the basin was indeed a carp, his eyes widened in astonishment.
"Are you out of your mind?!" An Paozi walked over to Li Qian and shook his body, as if trying to wake him up, "Even if the school-assigned beasts aren't that great, they are at least potential Overlord Rank 1. You've already awakened your Beastmaster Space, so you're qualified to receive one. Why contract such a useless beast?"
Qizi, with its high intelligence, seemed to understand some of An Paozi's words. It turned its fish eyes humanely in the water, showing its dissatisfaction by blowing a few bubbles in An Paozi's direction.
Li Qian wasn't surprised by An Paozi's reaction.
In reality, if it weren't for the existence of the golden finger and the completion of the research on the evolution route from carp to green-scaled serpent, contracting Qizi would indeed be a crazy decision.
He shot a grateful glance at An Paozi, who was acting this way for his benefit.
It was just that Li Qian wasn't aware of his actual situation.
Li Qian wasn't ungrateful either.
He smiled and pointed at Qizi in the water, "An Paozi, my carp is different from ordinary ones."
An Paozi took a closer look, "It is a bit different, but it's just bigger than usual. There's no need to contract it just because it's special. It doesn't seem to have mutated, and even if it did, a mutated carp is still a carp, so its potential is limited."
In the end, he sighed in frustration, "I really don't understand why you would contract such a useless companion beast.
Alas, the contract has been formed, and there's nothing more to be done..."
As Li Qian saw An Paozi's regret for him, he sighed, "An Paozi, don't be sentimental. I have my reasons for choosing to contract this carp!"
"Do you remember the dominant potential companion beast I mentioned before?"
Upon hearing this, An Paozi came to his senses, "You mean this carp is the dominant potential companion beast you were talking about?"
"Exactly!" Li Qian didn't hide anything and nodded.
With Qizi about to evolve, there was no point in keeping it a secret.
"Carp? Dominant potential companion beast?" An Paozi was so surprised that he began to doubt his own senses.
Li Qian thought to himself that An Paozi's breeding class performance was rather average, and he probably didn't know about the Green Scaled Dragon evolution of the carp, so he didn't explain.
He crouched down and smiled mysteriously at An Paozi, "You'll see soon."
After saying this, he took out a bag from his backpack.
It was the two pounds of dragon bone powder he had prepared in advance.
"Qizi, let's begin!"
After taking out the dragon bone powder, Li Qian's gaze became determined as he looked at Qizi in the water.
Qizi swam around in the water, looking very motivated, and his fish eyes seemed to exude a fierce aura.
Once everything was ready, Li Qian didn't hesitate. He poured the entire two pounds of dragon bone powder into the water.
In the water, Qizi sucked in the powder with great force, instantly creating a small vortex.
The white dragon bone powder was instantly devoured by Qizi, leaving no trace.
After witnessing this, Li Qian stood up, put down his backpack, took out a fruit with a bell-like shape, and held it in his hand. With a burst of strength, he sprinted out while shouting, "Qizi, climb that waterfall!"
As his voice fell, he also released Ah Fu to observe the evolution process. Li Qian sprinted at an incredibly fast speed towards the stone steps next to the waterfall.
Hundreds of stone steps led directly to the top of the waterfall!
For Li Qian, reaching the top of the waterfall before Qizi climbed the Hundred Foot Waterfall was no easy feat.
However, at this moment, he was filled with confidence and felt an endless surge of power within his body.
At the same time, Qizi, without hesitation, transformed into a water line and rushed towards the Hundred Foot Waterfall, exuding an unstoppable momentum.
Seeing the passionate and blood-boiling demeanor of the man and the fish, An Paozi was stunned.
But soon, he reacted and showed a subtle look of anticipation.
He knew Li Qian's personality well.
Although Li Qian occasionally bragged and joked with him, he never took serious matters lightly.
If Li Qian had truly researched the evolution method of the carp, even if it was only an overlord-rank potential, it would be earth-shattering news.
If this were true, Li Qian's status might instantly undergo a drastic change.
With this achievement alone, he could immediately ascend to the position of an intermediate breeder.
Perhaps...
Even a direct promotion to an advanced breeder wasn't impossible!
As his thoughts raced, he saw that Li Qian had already climbed the ten-meter-high stone steps.
Just as he glanced in another direction at the carp, Qizi, his heart was suddenly filled with awe.
Qizi had started climbing the waterfall, and his height continued to rise. A water line swimming against the current was clearly visible.
in a triangle with Li Qian and An Paozi, their gazes fixed on the climbing Qizi.
Although this scene was unusual, it wasn't enough to shock An Paozi.
What truly amazed him was the faint glow of evolution that appeared within the water line.
What did this mean?!
The carp, Qizi, was truly evolving!!
