Chapter 259: Unexpected Joy and Departure
Chapter 259: Unexpected Joy and Departure
After some back and forth with An Fat, they went out for dinner in the evening, and finally, Li Qian had some free time to himself.
Having completed the important tasks, he could finally relax for a few days.
Aside from occasionally checking on the training of the Fiery Storm Falcon, he spent his time playing, resting, or visiting relatives and friends.
His family didn't have many relatives in Lingshu City, but they were connected to quite a few people.
He took the opportunity to visit several of his high school teachers, especially Chu Xiran and Zhu Bingqing, as well as Zhou Weiping from the Public Security Bureau, during this free time.
Before he knew it, time flew by, and on the evening of September 2nd, inside the cultivation base, Li Qian sighed helplessly as he watched the Fiery Storm Falcon still diligently training in the evolution trial field.
He tried to console it, saying, "There's no need to rush. Even after I leave, you can continue training with Xiao Hui."
Indeed, Li Qian planned to leave the Fiery Skygliding Eagle, Xiao Hui, at the cultivation base. In fact, it wasn't just Xiao Hui; he intended to leave all his pets at the base except for Qizai and Xiao Liu.
With his spiritual power level, he might be able to break into the Overlord Rank this semester, but he had many options for his contract.
Both the Fiery Storm Falcon and the Tide Sea Spirit could be chosen as contract partners, or perhaps other pets that would be researched in the future.
Even if he wanted to contract the Fiery Skygliding Eagle, he could always return during holidays and make the contract then.
By leaving his pets at the base, they could receive better training and also help protect the base's security.
A pet like Xiao Hui, with its Imperial Potential, and a strength level reaching the Overlord Rank, still possessed considerable combat power.
Lastly, there was his father, Li Chengyang, who, despite his lack of beast mastery talent, was close to breaking into the Overlord Rank and could also be considered for a contract.
With a plan in mind, Li Qian continued, "Keep training, and who knows, maybe by the next time I visit, you'll have met the evolution conditions."
"Even if you don't evolve into the Fiery Skygliding Eagle's talent, don't worry. I'm sure I can research and find other types of evolution for the Fiery Storm Falcon," Li Qian said, trying to console the Fiery Storm Falcon. However, it was evident that the pet's mood had been affected, and it seemed a bit sullen.
Li Qian had a soft spot for the Gray Bean Pigeon, or rather, the Fiery Storm Falcon, that had been by his side since it was young. So, if possible, he wanted it to achieve its evolution, but unfortunately, things didn't go as planned.
After consoling the Fiery Storm Falcon, Li Qian didn't linger and headed straight back to Building One.
That night, Li Qian went to bed early. In fact, he had been doing this for the past few days, thinking he could sleep soundly until morning.
However, he didn't expect', 'An unexpected event'), ('woke him up', 'woke him up'), ('middle of the night', 'middle of the night')].
Precisely, this was a good event, completely beyond Li Qian's expectations.
In the middle of the night, not far from Building One, two loud bird calls suddenly rang out.
"Tweet tweet!"
Usually, Building One was where Li Qian resided, and to avoid disturbing his research, others lived elsewhere. The cultivation base had many houses, so these loud bird calls woke Li Qian but didn't disturb anyone else.
Drowsily, Li Qian opened his eyes and walked to the window, instinctively looking outside.
He quickly spotted a familiar sight.
A Fiery Storm Falcon hovered nearby, its body flickering like a ghost, before suddenly appearing several dozen meters away in another spot.
Aside from the Fiery Storm Falcon, Li Qian also spotted a Fiery Skygliding Eagle in the distance.
Undoubtedly, these two pets were Xiao Hui and his mother's Fiery Storm Falcon.
Upon seeing the two pets, especially when the Fiery Storm Falcon displayed its "Teleportation" skill, Li Qian couldn't help but rub his eyes, almost thinking he was seeing things.
How did his mother's Fiery Storm Falcon learn the spatial attribute's signature skill, "Teleportation"? During the day, its training progress seemed far behind, even to the point of not grasping the basics.
How could it master this skill in just a few hours? Li Qian found it unbelievable and shook his head unconsciously.
When Li Qian saw the Fiery Storm Falcon exhibit the "Instant Teleportation" skill again, disappearing right before his eyes and suddenly appearing in another direction within his field of view, he was finally 100% certain of this fact.
"Fiery Storm Falcon, you actually mastered the 'Instant Teleportation' skill!" After confirming that his mother's Fiery Storm Falcon had mastered this skill, Li Qian couldn't help but exclaim with delight.
Even from the current situation, it seemed that it was not yet mastered very skillfully, and its execution was a bit clumsy. However, as long as it was learned, that was all that mattered.
The second evolution only required confirmation that the Fiery Storm Falcon had spatial talent; there was no requirement for proficiency in the "Instant Teleportation" skill.
In his delight, Li Qian didn't mind its chirping disturbing his sleep.
Li Qian's face was filled with a smile, and the Fiery Storm Falcon's mood was equally excited.
"Chirp chirp!" It chirped twice again with a high-pitched call and then demonstrated the "Instant Teleportation" skill several times, as if wanting to vent its emotions.
Li Qian smiled broadly, watching this scene and immediately responded, "Good, very good. Now that you've mastered the 'Instant Teleportation' skill, it proves that you have spatial talent. Tomorrow, I can take you to complete the second step of evolution!"
After hearing Li Qian's arrangement, the Fiery Storm Falcon circled excitedly in mid-air, responding to his words.
After a few more words of encouragement, it wasn't long before the Fiery Storm Falcon and Xiao Hui took flight and left Building One.
Now that it was confirmed that the Fiery Storm Falcon had mastered the "Instant Teleportation" skill, there was no point in staying here any longer.
As Li Qian watched the two companion beasts fly away, he stood in place, silent for a long time, lost in thought.
The situation with the Fiery Storm Falcon was a bit beyond his expectations.
Based on the previous training, Li Qian had already made a judgment in his heart... It should not have had spatial talent.
Otherwise, it wouldn't have been possible for it to show such a lack of proficiency before.
But if it didn't have spatial talent, how did it manage to learn the "Instant Teleportation" skill within these few hours?
This left Li Qian perplexed. It couldn't be that, under extreme circumstances, it suddenly had a breakthrough and enlightenment, could it?
Could a companion beast's subjective will reach such a level? Could it change its objective physical talent? Or perhaps, every Fiery Storm Falcon actually had spatial talent, depending on the strength of its subjective will to force it out?
Unable to figure it out, Li Qian decided not to think about it too much. Perhaps his mother's Fiery Storm Falcon was just a special case.
This matter gave Li Qian a certain shock, but to be honest, it didn't affect him much. So, after a while, he shook his head, cleared his thoughts, and returned to his chat with Zhou Gong.
"Mom, do you want to go on a trip to Zhonghai City?" Li Qian suddenly asked during breakfast.
"Why go to Zhonghai City for a vacation? I don't have the time," Mother Han Yuying refused without a second thought.
As she refused, she was also a bit puzzled. Why was her son suddenly bringing up a vacation?
"Then, do you still want the Fiery Storm Falcon to evolve further?" Li Qian asked casually while eating breakfast.
Han Yuying was even more confused upon hearing this. She gave her son a suspicious look, "Evolve? Isn't the evolution already complete?"
Han Yuying already knew that her Gray Bean Pigeon had evolved through evolution feedback.
As for the successor evolution, the Fiery Skygliding Eagle, because Li Qian didn't explain it in detail, she wasn't very clear about it and didn't think too much about it.
So, when she first heard these words, Mother Han Yuying was a bit confused.
Li Qian smiled and briefly explained the information about the Fiery Storm Falcon and the Fiery Skygliding Eagle to her.
After listening to Li Qian's explanation, Han Yuying finally understood what was going on.
So, the Fiery Skygliding Eagle was the successor evolution of the Fiery Storm Falcon, and her companion beast just happened to have this evolutionary qualification.
"In that case, I have to go to Zhonghai City..." After listening to Li Qian's explanation, Han Yuying pondered for a moment and then nodded.
For the companion beast that had accompanied her for so many years, Han Yuying naturally hoped it would achieve greater success.
In the past, there was no hope, and she had to lie flat. Now that there was an opportunity, how could she possibly miss it?
However, according to his son's suggestion, he had to evolve in Zhonghai City. It would be too troublesome to let him go there, complete his evolution, and then specifically send the companion beast back to Lingshui City. It would likely affect his school enrollment time.
As such, she had no choice but to make a trip herself.
"Since we're going to Zhonghai City, it would be a waste of an opportunity if we don't take a look around, right?" Li Qian saw that his mother had agreed and continued to persuade her gently.
"In that case, it would indeed be a good idea to take a tour along the way..." Han Yuying nodded and echoed, a hint of relief on her face.
She wouldn't have made a special trip to Zhonghai City just for sightseeing, but if it's on the way, then there's no problem.
After all, it would be a shame not to take a look since they're already there.
After making a decision, Li Qian and his mother, Han Yuying, didn't waste any time. After finishing breakfast, they set off directly.
Li Qian had planned to go out to Shazhou Beast University today, so his luggage was already packed.
As for his mother, Han Yuying, even if she was going on a trip, she wouldn't stay for too long, so there wasn't much to pack.
The same logic applied to his father, Li Chengyang.
Li Qian wouldn't feel at ease if his mother traveled alone, so his father naturally had to accompany her.
Around 8:30 a.m., the family of three directly called for a car and arrived at the high-speed railway station in Lingshui City.
As soon as they reached the station, on the square outside, from a distance, Li Qian saw two eye-catching sights.
The reason they were so striking was that next to these beautiful sights, there was also a plump figure, continuously waving at Li Qian, making it hard not to notice.
Needless to say, this plump figure was Li Qian's best friend, An Fatzi. He was also one of the travelers going to Shazhou Beast University.
However, the situation had changed, and Li Qian could only accompany them for a short distance.
After seeing An Fatzi, Li Lan Ying, and Tu Jiaojiao, Li Qian didn't hesitate. He quickly walked over and joined them.
"Sorry, I had something come up suddenly, so I made you wait." Although he wasn't late and could still catch the train he had booked in advance, Li Qian immediately apologized because they had agreed to meet early.
"It's okay, we arrived early," said Tu Jiaojiao, glancing at Li Qian and his parents behind him. She wasn't surprised, as his parents had also come to see him off, but after reaching the station, she had sent them away.
If she hadn't sent them away, the two elders would likely have stayed and complained about why he had to apply to Shazhou Beast University, which was so far away.
Complaining at home was one thing, but there were also two classmates present, and it would be embarrassing if they overheard, as they had also applied to the same school.
"Uncle and Auntie, are you here to see Li Qian off?" Li Lan Ying also noticed Li Qian's parents, as she had been interning at the breeding base for a month and was familiar with them. She greeted them warmly.
"No, we're going to Zhonghai City," Mother Han Yuying said, looking at Li Lan Ying and then Tu Jiaojiao, her expression a bit odd as she explained.
"By the way, there's something I need to discuss with you. I can only travel with you as far as Yunlan City." After they joined up, as they entered the station, Li Qian said, "I need to make a detour to Zhonghai City and then take the teleportation formation to Shazhou City."
In the end, he spread his hands and said helplessly, "So we can only meet up in Shazhou City."
Li Lan Ying looked at Li Qian and then at his parents, guessing that it had something to do with them. She waved her hand and smiled, "Then you go and take care of your business. We're fine, and we can meet up in Shazhou City."
"Then it's settled!" Li Qian heard this, and before he could speak, An Fatzi, beside him, had already impatiently interjected.
Li Qian could only accompany them as far as Yunlan City, which was a great opportunity for him to spend more time with his two classmates.
If there were four of them, the two beauties' attention wouldn't be on him during the journey.
Now, it was perfect—a heaven-sent opportunity!
The group chatted and laughed, completely unaware that in the not-too-distant waiting room, a shadowy gaze was fixed on them.
