Chapter 435: Golden Radiant Great Elephant
Chapter 435: Golden Radiant Great Elephant
Understanding the situation, Duan Kong put aside his initial shock and looked at Li Qian with a burning gaze, as if he were looking at an unparalleled treasure. He couldn't wait to ask, "Li Qian, quickly tell me, where is that dimensional rift?"
Hearing this, Li Qian quickly turned his head, pointed to the small pond in front of him, and said, "Right here!"
Duan Kong followed Li Qian's finger and nodded slightly. In fact, he had already suspected that the dimensional rift was hidden in this small pond. This was the direction he had fled during the battle. Besides, he had been to this place many times. If there really was a dimensional rift, he would have discovered it. The only possibility was that it was hidden in this small pond.
After Li Qian's confirmation, Duan Kong didn't hesitate. He immediately gave instructions to his companion beast, the golden armored colossal elephant: "Old Elephant, it's up to you."
Li Qian, quite curious, also turned his gaze in the same direction. Seeing the curiosity in Li Qian's eyes, Duan Kong smiled and explained, "My companion beast is called the Golden Radiant Great Elephant. It is extremely rare in our Dongxia Federation, but it is more common in the Xiling Federation."
Without pausing, he continued, "Of course, what is common there is just the basic type, the Maha Elephant. This kind of companion beast, like the Crimson Feather Chicken in our Dongxia Federation, is essentially useless if it doesn't complete multiple evolutions."
Perhaps feeling more talkative, Duan Kong added, "Just like my Golden Radiant Great Elephant, if it hadn't completed three evolutions, its potential wouldn't have reached the Divine Spirit Rank. In fact, the basic Maha Elephant in the Xiling Federation is no different from a working mule."
Li Qian nodded in agreement after hearing Duan Kong's words. Just like the Crimson Feather Chicken, if he hadn't developed the evolution methods for the Sunbird and the Three-Legged Golden Crow, it would have been a mere "fire chicken."
While nodding, he also praised Duan Kong, giving him emotional support, "To cultivate it to such a powerful level, it seems that you have invested a lot of effort, Teacher Duan Kong."
"Actually, this is all thanks to the Skydom Dean of our school's Cultivation Institute."
As Duan Kong spoke, he looked at Li Qian, his admiration clear in his eyes. Of course, there was also a hint of regret. Such a cultivation genius, and one born in Jiangnan Province, should not have been specially recruited by Sha Zhou Beast University. Those admissions officers are all useless!
Despite his regret, he continued, "If it weren't for his research on the evolution methods from the Maha Elephant to the Golden Radiant Great Elephant, no matter how much effort I invested, it wouldn't have been worth much."
As he spoke, he shifted his tone to praise, "This is something I think you, Li Qian, would understand deeply, considering you have researched the evolution method for the Three-Legged Golden Crow!"
Li Qian, hearing this, smiled wryly and humbly responded, "It was just good luck, a bit of a fluke. Even now, even with the right conditions, I have no confidence in replicating it again."
After saying this, he continued, changing the subject, "Speaking of which, when I participated in the Freshman Challenge at Guanxi Beast University, I had the pleasure of meeting the Skydom Dean!"
"Yes, after I returned, the Skydom Dean spoke highly of you!" Duan Kong agreed. He then spoke gently to Li Qian, "By the way, my psychic energy level has reached the peak of the Divine Spirit Rank. It won't be long before I can attempt to reach the Legendary Rank. I might need your help in the future!"
Li Qian's heart skipped a beat at these words.
I never expected that Master Duan Kong's strength had already reached this level, almost on par with Dean Pan Bing of their school's Combat College.
As for the "trouble" he mentioned, Li Qian didn't need to guess what it was about; it was undoubtedly related to evolving a Three-Legged Golden Crow.
Regarding this, Li Qian was naturally more than willing to help.
All the extraordinary resources and preparations were not something Li Qian needed to worry about; he only needed to focus on the evolution.
After completing the task, he would also gain the friendship of a legendary powerhouse, something Li Qian couldn't possibly refuse.
From a moral standpoint, this would also contribute to enhancing humanity's high-end combat capabilities.
Of course, the evolution of a Three-Legged Golden Crow was a significant event involving a legendary companion beast, so Li Qian wanted to leave some room for negotiation and not make any absolute promises. "If I can be of assistance, I will do my best, but I am concerned about the low success rate and don't want to disappoint Master Duan Kong."
Hearing this, Duan Kong responded with a carefree attitude, "No breeding master can guarantee a 100% success rate for evolving a legendary companion beast. Just do your best."
"After this, I'll evolve a Sunbird for you first."
Li Qian said, "You need to cultivate this Sunbird to its racial potential limit and unlock the special skill 'Phoenix Rebirth'!"
After stating the prerequisites for evolution, Li Qian took a look around. In just the time they had been chatting, the Golden Radiant Great Elephant had used its trunk to suck away more than half of the water in the small lake.
Li Qian had been wondering how Duan Kong would approach the task, but he never expected such a straightforward and brutal method—draining all the water from the small lake.
As the water level in the small lake continued to drop, Li Qian casually brought up a topic and asked, "I don't know yet, Master Duan Kong, what is your position at Jiangnan Beast Taming University?"
Duan Kong laughed and replied softly, "I'm just an ordinary director at our Jiangnan Beast Taming University's Combat College!"
"Director Duan!" Li Qian immediately adjusted his address upon hearing this.
Duan Kong claimed to be just an ordinary director at Jiangnan Beast Taming University's Combat College, but Li Qian didn't dare to take his words at face value.
This director's strength far surpassed that of most vice-deans.
Moreover, according to Li Qian's knowledge, whether it was the Combat College or the Cultivation College, teachers with exceptional strength but no interest or skill in management often held the title of director.
It was similar to the elders in martial arts novels.
Duan Kong laughed heartily and waved his hand, "No need for formalities, I prefer being called Teacher Duan."
Just as the two were conversing, the Golden Radiant Great Elephant had drained all the water from the small lake.
A dark abyssal rift appeared before them, completely exposed.
Duan Kong pointed at the dark rift and said, "Take a look, this is the dimensional rift!"
"Yes!" Li Qian nodded.
"Then, let's go in now." Duan Kong didn't waste any time and took a step forward to enter.
Li Qian followed closely behind.
