Chapter 361: Evaluation
Chapter 361: Evaluation
Looking at the information about the Sunbird, Li Qian could only think, "No wonder it's a pet with the potential of an Imperial Eighth Rank. These stats are indeed a bit over the top."
The passive skill Nirvana, he had already looked up online last night, and it did not come as a surprise to him.
It was indeed powerful, and one could say it was like gaining an extra life out of thin air.
However, this skill was not without limitations. If the level gap was too great and one was utterly crushed by their opponent's strength, there would be no room for struggle.
But to have comprehended a Secret Art skill at the Overlord First Rank was already quite remarkable.
Back then, when Li Suokuan's Void Shadow Butterfly displayed the Secret Art skill 'Void Traverse', Li Qian was envious beyond words. He never expected that after such a short time, the pet he personally oversaw the evolution of would also possess such an ability.
Of course, in terms of value, the 'Void Traverse' mastered by Li Suokuan's Void Shadow Butterfly should be even more valuable.
Because 'Void Traverse' was a functional skill, while 'Sun True Flame' was an offensive skill.
According to common sense, the value of offensive skills was not as high as functional skills.
After the initial shock, Li Qian waved his hand.
"Chirp, chirp..." Jiafa let out a few chirps and obediently landed beside him.
The spectators in the stands all witnessed this scene clearly.
They all turned their gazes towards Li Qian.
But these gazes were complex... some were envious, some were trying to curry favor, and some were filled with jealousy.
Li Qian looked around, calmly facing the multitude of gazes.
Ever since he made up his mind to change his evolution pet, he had prepared himself mentally, knowing he would be thrust into the spotlight.
Keeping a low profile was one way to survive, but being high-profile was also another path.
At the very least, starting today, Shazhou Beast Mastery University would undoubtedly pay more attention to him.
The Federal Government, Beastmaster Association, and Breeder Association would likely do the same.
The value that a super breeding genius could bring was far greater than that of a combat genius.
So, he wasn't worried in the slightest.
Moreover, Li Qian was well aware that as he bred more high-level pets, he couldn't possibly maintain a low profile anymore.
There was no choice; his strength wouldn't allow it.
"This is so surprising! I never expected that Li Qian from Shazhou Beast Mastery University would evolve a Sunbird."
As the chaotic atmosphere persisted for a while, and after the audience had somewhat released their shock, the host finally spoke.
With the host easing the atmosphere, she continued, "Next, we invite Ma Ji, the Dean of the Breeding Academy at Kansai Beastmaster University, Dragon Lord, the Dean of the Breeding Academy at Jiangnan Beastmaster University, Heavenly Overlord, and the Kansai City Breeder Association..."
The beautiful female host had a pleasant voice, but at this moment, no one was paying attention to her.
Just as her voice trailed off, several figures from the front row of the stands and the boxes rushed out.
Li Qian watched these seniors rushing out to confirm the results, feeling puzzled.
The list the host just mentioned didn't seem to have this many people.
Could it be that someone else had sneaked in...
"Yao Feng, you're not even on the evaluation panel, why are you rushing out like that?" The hunched-over Ma Ji directly cursed.
"I am, after all, one of the judges for this competition."
The man called "Yao Feng" was an elderly gentleman in his sixties, and he bluntly retorted, "Does it matter if it's a preliminary or not? What I'm saying is, do I have the qualifications to be a judge or not?"
"Old man Lin Cheng, what does this have to do with you?" Yao Feng turned his retort towards Ma Ji, then redirected his attention to another old man.
The old man, Lin Cheng, had white hair but a youthful face, appearing gentle and refined. However, when he spoke, it was with the essence of the nation's culture, "Damn it, old man Yao, what's gotten into you?"
"I, a Master Breeder of such stature, came to judge a junior's results. What's wrong with that?"
Seven or eight old-timers, both powerful and well-respected, argued and bickered as they approached Li Qian.
For a moment, Li Qian felt a bit awkward, unsure of what to do.
"Seniors, this..."
"Young man, don't be nervous. We're just here to confirm something. In my opinion, there's no issue with Sunbird's evolution. In this Freshman Challenge Competition, you're definitely the champion in cultivation." The Dragon Lord, the dean of Kansai Beastmaster University, smiled warmly.
Unlike the others who focused on the Sunbird, the dean of the Cultivation Academy at Kansai Beastmaster University directed all his attention to Li Qian.
The Dragon Lord dean clearly understood which was more valuable: a hen that laid golden eggs or the hen itself.
So, while others rushed to see the Sunbird, he chuckled and struck up a conversation with Li Qian.
"Young man, you're Li Qian, right? I'm wondering, what do you think of our Kansai Beastmaster University?"
Upon hearing this, Li Qian's thoughts shifted, and he guessed the man's intention.
But one shouldn't strike a smiling face, so he returned a standard smile, "Hello!"
"What should I call you?"
The host had just introduced them, but it was a group introduction, and Li Qian didn't know who corresponded to whom.
"My name is Dragon Lord, the dean of the Cultivation Academy at Kansai Beastmaster University." The Dragon Lord's expression didn't change, and his smile remained warm.
"Dean Dragon, hello. I think Kansai Beastmaster University is great, just like our Shazhou Beast Mastery University. It's fantastic," Li Qian replied, adding Shazhou Beast Mastery University to the previous topic.
However, Dean Dragon acted as if he hadn't heard and continued, "Not only Kansai Beastmaster University, but also Kansai City, is a city with a rich historical heritage."
"Within the city, the natural and cultural landscapes are excellent. After the competition ends, there are still a few days before the start of school. You can come and enjoy our city." The Dragon Lord invited.
Li Qian smiled and nodded, "If I have the chance, I'll definitely come to appreciate the beauty of Kansai City."
The two chatted like old friends, creating a harmonious atmosphere.
Li Qian had to admit that the Dragon Lord before him was indeed experienced in dealing with people, giving off a refreshing and gentle feeling.
At this moment, the others who had been surrounding the Sunbird for a while finally reacted.
They turned their gazes and focused their attention on Li Qian.
