Chapter 349: The Evolution of the Coralbug, the Hope of the Rainbow Dragon
Chapter 349: The Evolution of the Coralbug, the Hope of the Rainbow Dragon
Ray Saint felt a sense of bewilderment as he followed the small figure before him, even mimicking his every move as they approached the shore of the Water Heart.
Although he wasn't a professional breeder, having reached the Holy-grade realm, his knowledge and experience in pet cultivation were extensive and comprehensive.
Naturally, his understanding and awareness of water-type pet cultivation were also considerable.
It was precisely because of this extensive knowledge that at this moment, after walking with Su Ping for some time, Ray Saint still hadn't fully grasped the meaning of Su Ping's words.
Eat it?
Let his own pet eat the Rainbow Coralbug?
That's like throwing meat buns at a dog.
No, the Rainbow Coralbug was too small to fit in its mouth.
Could it be that the Rainbow Coralbug ate the Water Dragon?
This kid must be joking with him.
Even upon reaching the Water Heart, seeing that Su Ping had already instructed the others not to open for business today, Ray Saint remained skeptical.
After all, in all these years, he had never heard of such a method of pet cultivation.
However, seeing Su Ping's serious expression, it was clear that he wasn't joking around.
So, was this kid being serious?
It wasn't that he didn't trust Su Ping, but if something went wrong, and the Rainbow Coralbug died as a result, the loss would be too great.
Even a Holy-grade existence like Ray Saint would feel a twinge of pain at the disappearance of such a rare aquatic pet.
The value of the Rainbow Coralbug was evident. Its rarity couldn't be measured by rank alone.
If it truly failed and was swallowed by that thing, wouldn't it be a waste of heavenly resources?
As Ray Saint's thoughts wandered, Su Ping had already reached the shore and was inspecting the vast Water Heart lake with satisfaction. Only then did he turn to Ray Saint and say:
"Senior, you can start summoning now."
"Su Ping, are you serious? This is no joke. I don't know how you found the Rainbow Coralbug, or where you got this idea from, but the risk is too great.
The Rainbow Coralbug's body is incredibly fragile. Even an ordinary person, if exposed to this thing, could easily crush it underfoot, let alone a dragon."
Ray Saint offered a final word of advice.
He was a water-type beastmaster, and a powerful Holy-grade one at that.
Naturally, he understood just how precious the Rainbow Coralbug was to water-type pets.
In the breeder world, there had always been those who wanted to separate the Rainbow Coralbug from the ranks of pets, classifying it as a special resource rather than a pet.
However, they had never succeeded.
After all, in the outside world, the Rainbow Coralbug had indeed never shown any signs of evolution or cultivation. But in Dragon City, based on dragon evolution research, they discovered this thing had the potential for dragon evolution.
Naturally, it couldn't be considered a resource.
The reason it hadn't been publicized was simply because it was too rare.
As a dragon evolution method in Dragon City, it wasn't suitable for all breeder association breeders to have the opportunity to study it.
However, Su Ping clearly didn't mind this. Listening to Ray Saint's advice, he eventually smiled and nodded:
"Rest assured, I never joke about such matters. You'll see what I mean soon enough."
He wasn't joking; although it sounded like a joke, he was serious.
After receiving confirmation, Ray Saint had nothing more to say. This stinky kid didn't seem to care.
Moreover, although the Rainbow Coralbug was precious, even if it were lost, it wouldn't be a significant loss for him.
With this thought, Ray Saint's heart stirred slightly.
A ray of light appeared, and the next moment, a dragon's roar reverberated throughout the entire Water Heart lake, startling the surrounding air.
"Roar~"
The air became incredibly moist at that instant, and some water-type pets that had been there initially trembled in submission beneath the terrifying dragon's authority.
Su Ping looked up.
As expected, a bluish figure appeared on the shore.
The scales on its body seemed to flow with water droplets, and its familiar dragon form perched on the shore, its massive head overlooking everything, especially Su Ping who stood by its side.
The Water Dragon's true form!
And it wasn't the so-called Blue Dragon that Water Dragons transform into before evolving, but an elemental Water Dragon with Holy-grade potential.
Despite having seen it many times before, Su Ping was always awestruck by the appearance of such a creature.
Powerful, perfect.
The ultimate combat pet, and the greatest support and representative pet of the Dragon Kingdom, standing tall on Bluestar once again.
Su Ping narrowed his eyes, and a glimmer of longing flashed in his gaze.
When he went to the imperial capital and Dragon City, no matter what, he had to get one! If nothing else, it was truly awe-inspiring.
"This is my Water Dragon, and its name is Shangshan."
Ray Saint spoke to the Water Dragon that looked down at Su Ping.
This time, it was Su Ping's turn to look at Ray Saint in surprise.
Huh? Could this guy come up with such a meaningful name? Shangshan? The essence of goodness, the name of goodness like water.
Su Ping looked at the Water Dragon in bewilderment.
However, the Water Dragon clearly had no intention of paying attention to him. It glanced at him with its deep blue eyes, then looked away, even snorting and blowing a few bubbles.
It was clear that its personality had nothing to do with its name.
If not for its owner's command, it wouldn't even spare a glance for such insignificant creatures.
Su Ping wasn't surprised by the dragon's arrogance.
Initially, when Master Zhu's Golden Retriever, Dahuang, had spent over two months together, they developed a close relationship, and Dahuang allowed him to touch its dragon horn.
And that was mainly due to the Heavenly Cycle Five Elements Body.
This Water Dragon was clearly of the same nature.
Su Ping didn't expect to gain its recognition, just like Qin Erlong's Wood Dragon.
For the dragon clan, only by displaying the strength and capability they recognized, all attempts to please or even grovel were useless.
In the eyes of these guys, ants should be like this.
However, soon, the Water Dragon named 'Shangshan' was stunned. Its deep blue eyes then locked onto Su Ping, and in its eyes, there was a very human-like look of doubt and uncertainty.
Su Ping smiled slightly, and his special Dragon Heart ability was activated.
This ability, which came from the Divine Dragon Clan Ledger, could emit an aura that specifically targeted scale and insect-type Beast Companions.
The Water Dragon was a bit suspicious. The human before it seemed a little different from ordinary ants.
Before it could think further, the human before it didn't say much and, with a plop, jumped directly from the water's surface into the river below, effortlessly entering the river water.
Under the slightly warm weather, the cool river water of the Water Heart made Su Ping's mind and body refreshed. With underwater breathing and the dual blessing of the Dragon Heart ability, Su Ping's actions underwater were no different from those on land.
The Beast Companions in the dark water, under the influence of the Dragon Heart, dared not approach at all.
Of course, compared to Su Ping's weak Dragon Heart, the true Dragon Heart was still stepping on the Water Dragon, following the Ray Saint into the water.
The Beast Companions in the water, not to mention resisting attacks, didn't even dare to flee, only trembling in the water.
The Water Dragon glanced at these things disdainfully, then followed Su Ping, passing through the water elemental barrier, and arrived at the huge Rainbow Coral Worm that was surrounded by a large coral reef.
Then, under the Ray Saint's soul command, all the Dragon Heart was restrained.
The seven-colored rainbow light illuminated the underwater area, making it even more dazzling than on land.
It was like a giant neon light was shining.
Compared to when Su Ping first found the Rainbow Coral Worm, the scale of the Rainbow Coral had nearly doubled.
The normal secretion speed naturally couldn't be this fast.
This was the result of some special methods Su Ping found in the Breeder Association, using some valuable resources to nurture.
So, sensing Su Ping's aura, the Rainbow Coral's aurora flashing speed increased, as if welcoming Su Ping's arrival.
However, Su Ping's mind moved, and he took out something from the Beast Companion Space.
Although the first evolution nurturing method for the Rainbow Dragon was so simple that Su Ping hadn't even thought of it, it wasn't as easy as having the Water Dragon eat the Coral Worm.
There was still some preparation beforehand.
This was a strange flame.
Or, it could be said to be a seed that bloomed with a faint blue light.
Its rank wasn't high, just a Marquis-grade resource, named Linglang Star.
It was a rare Light Attribute resource.
But its function was actually very simple; it could absorb and condense light into a physical form.
It was rarely used on Beast Companions.
However, at this moment, it was an indispensable item.
"Little guy, don't be afraid. I'm doing this for you."
The psychic wave moved through the water, reaching the Rainbow Coral Worm hidden among the coral reef, and conveying the message to its heart.
The wisdom of insect-type Beast Companions was naturally not worth mentioning, especially the Rainbow Coral Worm, although rare, still had a low rank.
However, even if it was a naive little thing, it should still understand some things.

Linglang Star slowly bloomed, and then Su Ping took out the specially made food that he had been feeding this little thing.
Moreover, it was a specially made food with some extra ingredients, mainly to increase energy.
As expected, not long after, in the crevices and holes of the coral reef, a small figure crawled out and slowly cocooned itself in Su Ping's hand.
This was an insect the size of a normal person's thumb, but the seven-colored light that bloomed on its body was indeed too dazzling.
The adult Rainbow Coral Worm, in the water, was indeed a treasure that attracted countless water-type Beast Companions.
And at this moment, in the flowing water, it cleverly perched on Su Ping's hand.
The Ray Saint beside them watched Su Ping with great interest.
At this moment, he suddenly felt that perhaps the little guy before him wasn't joking?
Wasn't he using such a precious little thing for experiments? Did he really have some confidence?
As expected, Linglang Star appeared in Su Ping's hand, and as the Rainbow Coral Worm was still enjoying the food, its body couldn't help but bloom with a seven-colored aurora, instantly enveloping it.
And under the influence of Linglang Star, this seven-colored aurora seemed to transform from light into a physical form.
It became a seven-colored light shield, tightly wrapping around the Rainbow Coral Worm.
However, this wasn't the end.
Su Ping once again broke off a piece from the huge Rainbow Coral Reef beside him, and as the Rainbow Coral Worm was like a cocoon, the light shield was fastened together, finally becoming a 'coral egg' the size of a human head, and then he finally breathed a sigh of relief.
Then, he looked at the Water Dragon and the Ray Saint in the water.
The Ray Saint extended his finger, and the water flow around their bodies instantly drained, creating a separated white area in the water. Then, he finally spoke:
"Su Ping, is this what you've been researching these days? How confident are you?"
Su Ping nodded without blushing, acknowledging his achievement, then thought for a moment and said:
"If we're talking about the success of evolution, I have a seven to eight out of ten confidence that the evolution will succeed. But as for whether this evolved form can further evolve into a Rainbow Dragon in the future, I dare not say."
"Ray Saint gave him a strange look. When did he ever say that it could evolve into a Rainbow Dragon in the future?"
"The East Sea Dragon Palace has researched this so much, yet they haven't figured it out. If it weren't for the 'Dragon Gate' detecting the Rainbow Coral Worm's dragon potential, the Dragon Palace would have probably given up long ago."
"This kid is quite bold, isn't he?"
"But, what about the success rate of this evolution?"
"So confident? Tell me more."
Su Ping didn't hold back. Regarding the breeding direction and philosophy, with the answers in hand, he could explain it however he wanted. "It's simple. After looking at the numerous evolution attempts by the East Sea Dragon Palace, I realized that all the successful cases of Rainbow Coral Worm evolution occurred during the cocooning process."
"Although the Rainbow Coral Worm is rare and possesses extraordinary traits, it's still an insect-type pet. For insect-type pets, cocooning or molting is an inevitable process. This is the evolutionary principle of insect-type pets."
Ray Saint nodded in agreement.
Su Ping continued, "Therefore, the evolution of the Rainbow Coral Worm must be in the form of cocooning. There are many theories about this type of evolution, so I won't go into detail. With the Gleaming Star and the food I fed it as resources for cocooning, as well as the light and water attributes being perfectly compatible, it's a win-win situation."
"From the breeding logs of the East Sea Dragon Palace, it's evident that using light-attribute resources for breeding results in better effects compared to water-attribute resources. What truly concerns me is the connection with dragons."
"The breeding logs mention the use of dragon blood and various other dragon-related resources, but the results are mediocre. However, one crucial condition for the evolution of the Rainbow Coral Worm is the presence of dragon essence."
"If it weren't for the dragon essence, despite the rarity of the Rainbow Coral Worm, someone would have probably bred it successfully using basic insect evolution methods by now. But that's not the case."
"On the contrary, there are a few successful evolution cases of Rainbow Coral Worms within the East Sea Dragon Palace. Although the final results of these evolutions... emmm... aren't ideal, it still proves that dragon essence is necessary for the evolution of Coral Worms."
Su Ping's words were tactful, but Ray Saint understood.
"Among the numerous evolution attempts by the East Sea Dragon Palace, although there might be some improvements, some abilities of the Rainbow Coral Worm have disappeared during these evolution attempts."
"For example, some Coral Worms lost the ability to radiate a rainbow aurora in the water, and some lost the ability to secrete rainbow coral."
"So, initially, the evolution of the Rainbow Coral Worm was truly a cumbersome process."
However, what surprised Ray Saint was that with just these observations, Su Ping had already figured out so much.
"In my opinion, those evolutions were a bit too forceful, causing the dragon essence to be too overwhelming, erasing the original traits of the Coral Worm in a single evolution. This altered the abilities of the evolved Coral Worms."
"This might be a good thing from the perspective of dragon evolution, but it completely changed the Coral Worm's abilities during the initial evolution, when it was at its weakest. As a result, the powerful dragon essence influenced the Coral Worm's foundation at the very beginning."
"How could we expect the Rainbow Coral Worm to evolve into a true Divine Dragon with light and water dual attributes under these circumstances? With its own abilities affected, how can it complete such an evolution?"
"Obviously, it's impossible. In my opinion, the first evolution of the Rainbow Coral Worm must involve dragon essence, but not excessively. A slight touch of water-attribute dragon essence, along with the 'cocooning' and 'surrogate' methods, should be sufficient."
"This method seems risky, but it's indeed the most reasonable approach I can think of. Moreover, even if it doesn't work, it won't cause any harm to the Rainbow Coral Worm."
Ray Saint was astonished by Su Ping's doubts, questions, and his own explanations and thoughts.
"Is that so?"
"Did the East Sea Dragon Palace's previous attempts at evolving the Rainbow Coral Worm have such a significant flaw?"
"What's more important is that this kid figured it all out in just half a month?"
"No, not only did he figure it out, but he even found what he believes to be the solution?"
"I have to say, just this conversation has made me develop a strange confidence in this kid."
"This confidence isn't about whether Su Ping can successfully evolve the Rainbow Coral Worm or not."
"After Su Ping's explanation, even Ray Saint couldn't find a reason for the evolution to fail."
"His confidence is in the potential dragon species: the Rainbow Dragon, which the East Sea Dragon Palace proposed, being bred by this kid."
"A rare light and water dual-attribute dragon species!"
"Once it's proven that it can be bred, not only the East Sea Dragon Palace but the entire Dragon Kingdom will be shaken, right?"
"But whether it's truly possible is not something we can just talk about."
This time, Ray Saint didn't say much more. Instead, his eyes lit up as he started planning something else. After nearly half an hour of waiting, a water dragon named 'Upper Virtue', who had been bored on the shore, suddenly changed its 'expression'.
Before the two could react, the water dragon quickly opened its mouth, and a seven-colored light bubble emerged from it.
The next moment, amidst the radiant core of light, a cocoon-like object was spat out, accompanied by an evolutionary aura.
It was quietly placed on the shore, near the Water Heart.
Ray Saint's eyes locked onto it, and even though he had already guessed, he still found it unbelievable.
"The Rainbow Coral Worm is actually evolving!"
"Is this kid's theory actually correct?!"
