Chapter 360: Stirring Events
Chapter 360: Stirring Events
Xia Hou Lan.
The current head of the Xia Hou family and one of the vice-presidents of the Kansai Beast University Combat Academy.
His present strength and status were not only due to his own efforts and family upbringing but also greatly influenced by the legacy of his ancestors.
Indeed, his ancestor was one of the Seven Kings, the Xia Hou King.
He was also one of the pioneers of Mo Yuan City.
Being a descendant of Xia Hou King, he was well aware of the situation with the Xia Hou King's two ace companion beasts, the Sunbird and the White Crane.
When he saw the flame pillar enveloping the golden light pillar soaring over a hundred meters high, his eyes were filled with shock.
He had seen this scene in the family's collection of information.
It was precisely the scene of the Sunbird's evolution.
Xia Hou Lan's strength had long reached the Emperor Rank, and he was now an expert at the Imperial Fifth Rank.
Logically, even if the Sunbird had completed its evolution, its potential would still be at the Imperial High Rank, not much higher than his current strength. He shouldn't have lost his composure like this.
In fact, in addition to being the ace companion beast of his ancestors, Xia Hou Lan was so shocked because he knew a secret.
The Sunbird's potential had not been fully developed yet. According to the Xia Hou King's final words, the ultimate evolution of the Sunbird was the legendary Three-Legged Golden Phoenix.
When he sensed that his life was coming to an end, the Xia Hou King had made a final desperate attempt.
He wanted to evolve his ace companion beast, the Sunbird, into the Three-Legged Golden Phoenix.
However, the evolution of a legendary companion beast was extremely challenging. In the end, the evolution failed.
To be precise, it wasn't a failure, but a partial success. He had glimpsed the Sunbird's evolved form, but this form didn't last long.
Indeed, this evolved form was the Three-Legged Golden Phoenix.
Because of this, the Xia Hou family had never stopped researching the Sunbird.
Unfortunately, this research had never yielded any groundbreaking results.
Not only had they failed to evolve it into the Three-Legged Golden Phoenix, but they also hadn't discovered a stable evolution path for the Sunbird.
So, at this moment, upon witnessing this scene, his heart was filled with awe and trepidation.
In fact, at this moment, it wasn't just Xia Hou Lan who was shocked.
Anyone who had figured out the situation couldn't help but stare in astonishment.
They then focused their attention even more intently.
It was just a freshman challenge competition, but it seemed that history was about to be made today.
At this moment, Li Qian was unaware of the audience's astonishment.
In fact, even if he knew, he wouldn't have had the mind to pay attention.
At this moment, his mind was entirely focused on observing the changes in Jiafa.
Don't underestimate this ordinary flame spray; with Little Six's current strength, it was enough to take Jiafa's life ten times over.
So, this evolution, which seemed to be proceeding smoothly and systematically, was actually very dangerous.
One mistake could cause fatal damage to Jiafa.
Li Qian didn't relax for a moment, constantly focusing his attention on observing.
Even though he couldn't do anything at this moment.
The terrifying flame pillar and the dazzling golden light pillar created waves of heat that swept across the area.
In the audience, robes fluttered.
Some people were already drenched in sweat, but they didn't complain. Their eyes remained fixed on the changes in the arena.
The anomaly lasted for about ten minutes.
"Chirp!"
Finally, with a high-pitched bird cry, a flying companion beast engulfed in flames emerged from the golden light pillar and soared into the sky.
"Chirp, chirp..."
The flying companion beast circled in the air, its bird cries resounding continuously, crisp and clear, shaking the audience's hearts.
After circling three or four times, the flames on its body gradually subsided.
A fire-red and golden plumage came into view, a fusion of colors that captured everyone's attention.
Its head resembled a peacock, its body that of a mighty phoenix, and its tail trailed two long plumes, one golden and the other crimson.
The newly appeared flying beast hovered above, looking down upon all with an air of royalty, captivating everyone's hearts.
In truth, it was a king.
Its potential had reached the terrifying Imperial High Rank, fluctuating between Imperial Seventh and Imperial Ninth Rank due to individual differences.
Li Qian's Jiafa had reached the potential of the Imperial Eighth Rank.
It was quite impressive, considered to be of above-average potential.
With the right nurturing and the use of Heaven-Blessed Materials, it might even be possible to cultivate it to the Holy Spirit Rank.
"Oh my, what kind of beast is this? It's blinding my Titanium Alloy Pooch Eyes!"
"No way, I can't take it anymore, I have to get one too! No matter the cost!"
"You two, save your energy. This is a Sunbird with the potential of the Imperial High Rank. It holds the title of the Phoenix, and it's the best you can hope for!"
"A Sunbird! It's actually a Sunbird! The ace pet of Xia Hou King, appearing in a Freshman Challenge Competition like this!"
"This freshman is too powerful, it's like a monster! What's his name? Which Beastmaster University is he from?"
"..."
On the viewing platform, the spectators began to buzz with excitement.
It was like pouring a bucket of cold water into a hot oil pan.
Cheers, shouts, whispered discussions, and various noises rose and fell, creating a chaotic atmosphere.
It was comparable to an eight o'clock morning market.
In a private room on the upper level of the viewing platform, Team Leader Ge Yuming also witnessed this scene.
He immediately instructed an assistant-like young teacher beside him.
He asked the assistant to quickly leave Mo Yuan City and call Dean Fei and Principal Pu to inform them of the situation.
Due to the dimensional rift's interference, free communication between the real world and the dimensional plane was impossible.
To contact each other, one had to first leave the dimensional plane.
The young assistant, upon hearing Ge Yuming's instructions, sprinted off without hesitation.
He left the competition arena, heading straight for the Teleportation Square.
He knew that with such a significant event, it was crucial to inform Dean Fei and Principal Pu of the Breeding Academy as soon as possible.
Just as he was leaving the competition arena, he glanced around and noticed that he wasn't the only one in a hurry.
The young assistant even spotted teachers from other schools and some from the Eight Greats among those rushing off.
His sense of crisis deepened as he saw these individuals, realizing they were likely here to poach talent, and he couldn't let them succeed.
Meanwhile, on the other side, in the middle of the arena, Li Qian activated his True Sight Eye, observing the information of Jiafa as it hovered in mid-air.
