Chapter 232: Individual Differences
As for keeping this matter a secret from Sun Hongyi, Li Qian never even considered it, as he was well aware that it was absolutely impossible.
Not to mention Sun Ruirui, who had been by their side and witnessed the entire process, but even Ahai, the Emperor-ranked Tide Sea Spirit, was not someone Li Qian could hide this from, after all, it was also one of the participants in the evolution.
So, Li Qian chose to add some unnecessary evolution resources, and even disrupted some of the steps.
In this situation, if Comrade Sun could still uncover the secret of the evolution path from Golden Pearl Bud to Tide Sea Spirit, Li Qian could only say, "You're amazing!"
However, in Li Qian's opinion, the probability of this happening was almost zero.
Initially, he hadn't planned to do this, and when he swapped the evolution paths, the idea of sharing it had already crossed his mind."
But Comrade Sun's recent antics had made Li Qian quite annoyed.
Always guarding himself like guarding against a thief, if you're so cautious, then I might as well guard against you too.
Li Qian's thoughts were preoccupied, but his hands showed no signs of stopping.
The evolution, of course, continued.
As Li Qian poured various evolution resources, one after another, they transformed into energy and gradually merged into Jinfeng's body, and the Evolution Glow intensified as expected.
When the Evolution Glow reached a certain level, and Li Qian felt the timing was right, he turned his head and looked towards Jinyu, who was waiting not far from Jinfeng.
Without hesitation, Li Qian spoke up, reminding Jinyu, "Jinyu, it's time to show your courage and take responsibility."
Although Li Qian didn't explicitly state it, his implication was clear as day.
Jinyu wasn't foolish; he naturally understood Li Qian's intention and didn't hesitate. He summoned a stream of water and quickly arrived in front of Jinfeng.
Jinyu's shell opened, and a pearl glowing with a faint radiance flew out.
As the pearl shot out and flew straight towards the evolving Jinfeng, both Sun Ruirui and the Tide Sea Spirit, Ahai, showed eager anticipation.
As for Jinyu, the pearl donor, there was no need to mention his excitement; if not for his shell-like appearance, which made it difficult to discern any emotional changes, he might have been even more expressive than Sun Ruirui and Ahai.
Li Qian, on the other hand, remained remarkably composed from start to finish, as everything unfolded as he had anticipated.
This evolution was bound to succeed, and the facts proved this, as the light grew brighter, and the familiar cocoon of light reappeared.
The appearance of the cocoon at least indicated that the initial stage of evolution had been successful, measuring about an inch in diameter, located in the lower right corner of the screen.
Now, the biggest concern was whether the latter stage could be sustained.
Just like Comrade Sun, the first half was also successful, evolving into the Tide Sea Spirit, but the problem arose in the second half, as it couldn't be sustained for long, and it would soon regress.
The cocoon formed by the Evolution Glow this time seemed to last longer than before, which both Sun Ruirui and Ahai noticed.
However, they didn't pay much attention to it, as when Sun Hongyi had conducted the evolution, the duration of the cocoon's formation also varied.
Eventually, all the light converged, leaving only a silvery-white cocoon on the water's surface, resembling a giant egg.
This sight surprised both Sun Ruirui and Ahai, as such a situation had never occurred when Sun Hongyi oversaw the evolution.
The radiant light around the cocoon showed no signs of abating, as if this was the true mark of a complete cultivation. Upon realizing this, Sun Ruirui's expectant expression intensified.
Perhaps the solution to her Awakened Bringer of Oceanic Catastrophe lay with Li Qian.
Just as her gaze grew more intense, the cocoon underwent a new transformation. It began to dim slowly.
Could it be a failure? Sun Ruirui's heart sank at this sight.
However, just as this emotion arose, before it could fully take hold, a new change occurred on the scene.
The cocoon silently exploded, transforming into countless light petals that scattered and faded away like withering flowers.
On the water's surface, a Tide Spirit resembling Ah Hai emerged, identical in every detail except for minute differences.
"Evolution successful!" Li Qian muttered to himself, a smile of joy spreading across his face as he witnessed this scene.
While he thought this, neither Sun Ruirui nor Ah Hai had reacted yet. They had witnessed such situations before, and in their eyes, the most critical moment of evolution was yet to come... Everything depended on whether the new Tide Spirit, Jinfeng, would regress.
If it did regressed, everything that had just happened would be nothing more than a beautiful illusion.
Li Qian knew what they were thinking, so he remained silent, waiting quietly like them for the result...
During the wait, he hesitated not to use his Beast Taming Talent, True Sight, to examine the Tide Spirit.
Li Qian had not contracted Jinfeng, nor did he meet the requirements to do so. After evolution, Jinfeng's strength exceeded his detection range, so theoretically, he should see no information.
However, Jinfeng's trust in Li Qian at this moment was genuine and absolute. Thus, Jinfeng lowered all its defenses and willingly revealed its information.
[Name: Tide Spirit (Jinfeng)]
[Attributes: Water, Life]
[Level: Overlord Rank 1]
[Potential: Emperor Rank 2]
[Skills: Water Iron Cannon (Perfect), Surfing Technique (Perfect), Water Curtain Heavenly Splendor (Proficient), Tsunami (Proficient), Vortex (Proficient), Water Dragon Stranglehold (Skilled), Wrath of the Sea God (Beginner), Bud Bloom (Limit-Breaking), Healing (Skilled), Purification (Beginner), Soul Calming (Beginner), Life Essence Rain (Beginner), Self-Healing (Beginner), Regenerative Creation (Beginner)]
Li Qian's face showed a hint of surprise as he viewed Jinfeng's information.
Its mastery of advanced water-based skills and numerous life-type skills was within Li Qian's expectations.
However, its racial potential reaching Emperor Rank 2 seemed unbelievable to him.
Theoretically, Jinfeng's racial potential should have been Emperor Rank 1 after evolution, the same as Xiao Gui. Yet, in reality, its potential exceeded the theoretical level by one rank.
This was the first time he had encountered such a situation, but his astonishment lasted only a moment. Soon, Li Qian's expression returned to one of calm composure.
"So, this is individual variation..."
