Chapter 49: Advancing to the Elite
Chapter 49: Advancing to the Elite
It was a small pond, but not as small as it seemed.
The area was estimated to be around three mu in size.
Its smallness was only in comparison to the larger pond next to it, which covered about ten mu.
Li Qian arrived at the central location of the base, where a figure stood by the pond.
He walked over and patted An Paozi on the shoulder, saying with a smile, "You're here to see Coalhead again?"
An Paozi replied with a hint of resentment, "Qian, you should at least pay more attention. I'm about to graduate, and if I don't have a contract beast by then, I'll probably be laughed at by that brat Sun Shouhe."
"Panda, it's not that I don't want to help you. The progress is already maxed out. Even if I don't eat or sleep, your Coalhead can't take it either."
"Besides, Sun Shouhe is just a clown. Why do you care about him?" Li Qian spread his hands.
"If you really can't wait, you can contract the Black Flame Swordsman first, and then contract Coalhead once you reach the Elite rank." He offered a suggestion.
An Paozi immediately shook his head vigorously, like a rattle drum, "No way, how long would that take?"
Li Qian couldn't help but laugh, "I don't know whether to praise you for your self-awareness or scold you for being so unambitious."
"By the way, there's a class gathering next week. Are you going?" An Paozi suddenly brought up a topic.
"Where is the gathering?" Li Qian asked.
"It seems to be at the Peach Garden Manor in the north," An Paozi replied.
"Oh, the Peach Garden Manor, that's not cheap. Who organized it?" Li Qian asked curiously.
"Class monitor Tu Jiaojiao organized it, but I think Sun Shouhe and Lu Kuihuan are paying for it..." An Paozi said uncertainly.
"Of course, I'm going! Free food and drinks, my favorite!" Li Qian declared firmly.
"I knew you'd go, kid," An Paozi chuckled.
"They're so eager to please the class monitor, probably to leave a good impression. Aren't you worried...?" Li Qian gave a half-smile.
"Worried? No way, the class monitor is no longer my goal. Now, my target is Teacher Zhu Bingqing," An Paozi said firmly.
"Um... why don't you change your goal, like pursuing Tu Jiaojiao, at least there's a chance. With Teacher Zhu Bingqing, it's probably hopeless," Li Qian suggested.
"Damn, are you still my brother? Why are you dissing me like that?" An Paozi was indignant.
"I'm doing this for your own good. Even if a toad wants to eat swan meat, it needs to grow some legs first," Li Qian continued.
An Paozi rolled his eyes and flipped the middle finger.
After some banter with An Paozi, Li Qian headed towards the small pond.
The pond wasn't small, but with only three Pine Needle Fish, two Golden Thread Tortoises, and one Tail Feather Fish, it looked rather spacious.
At this moment, the Tail Feather Fish was swimming leisurely, seemingly enjoying the environment.
Next to it, the three Pine Needle Fish and two Golden Thread Tortoises followed like little brothers, forming a procession.
It seemed that the Tail Feather Fish had become the leader among the fish in this small pond.
Seeing that the Tail Feather Fish had adapted to its new environment, Li Qian felt relieved.
As for contracting a beast, it could be done later with Ah Fu.
Li Qian turned his head, his gaze shifting to the larger pond next to the small one.
That area was further south within the base.
"What are you looking at?" An Paozi asked.
"I'm thinking that for now, it's still a carp, and there shouldn't be any issues. But if it evolves into a Green Dragon Snake, with its size, how many can fit in here, and they definitely won't be comfortable staying inside."
Li Qian said, "This is a problem. What do you think?" An Paozi frowned.
Li Qian pointed to the south, "From our base, heading south for about three kilometers, there's a low-lying area. It seems to be undeveloped, and another kilometer south is the Lingzhou River."
A look of anticipation appeared on his face, "If we purchase or rent this three-kilometer area, including the low-lying land, and divert the water from the Lingzhou River, we should be able to create an artificial lake in a short time."
"With the area of the low-lying land, if we fill it to create an artificial lake, it can also serve as a habitat for the Green Scaled Dragon."
An Paozi's mouth twitched, "Qianzi, aren't we taking a big step here? What if we end up with egg on our faces?"
Li Qian chuckled, "Let's just brainstorm for now."
...
That night.
In a certain room within the cultivation base, Li Qian was deep in meditation.
A powerful feeling emerged from the depths of his consciousness.
His spiritual power began to boil.
The next moment, Li Qian suddenly opened his eyes, and a glint of brilliance flashed in his eyes.
"Now's the time!"
He concentrated, mobilizing the spiritual power from the depths of his consciousness, and suddenly crashed into an invisible barrier.
Boom, boom, boom...
Within his Sea of Consciousness, an invisible barrier shattered.
In an instant, his spiritual power surged like an untamed wild horse.
No one knew how long it had been, but the boiling spiritual power in his mind gradually subsided.
"Hoo!"
Li Qian let out a long breath, "Finally, I've broken through to the Elite Tier."
At the same time, within the Beastmaster Space, Qi Zai also broke through to the Elite Tier, and even soared straight to the Elite Tier 4.
The wall of the Beastmaster Space changed from sea blue to deep blue.
As his thoughts moved, Qi Zai's information appeared before his eyes.
[Name: Green Scaled Dragon (Qi Zai)
[Attribute: Water, Elite Tier 4]
[Potential: Overlord Tier 5]
[Skills: Fish Leap (Break Limit), Climb Waterfall (Perfection), Water Arrow (Mastery), Water Arrow Barrage (Proficient), Water Cannon (Mastery), High-Pressure Water Cannon (Basic), Invoke Rain (Basic), Wind Blade (Basic), Tornado (Basic), Dragon Claw (Basic), Dragon Ascension (Basic)]
Qi Zai's information delighted Li Qian.
Thanks to the recent battles, training, and this breakthrough, many of his skills had improved.
In addition, he had also comprehended two new skills.
[Invoke Rain]
A weather skill.
Seemingly only capable of altering the weather, but its function is not limited to this. However, when used appropriately, it can be a divine skill.
And Dragon Claw, a powerful offensive skill. It makes up for the Green Scaled Dragon's weakness in close-range combat.
In summary, Li Qian was very satisfied with this breakthrough.
Unconsciously, having reached the Elite Tier, Li Qian kept it to himself.
He didn't rush to contract a second beast either.
This second beast required careful planning.
After calming his inner joy, his life returned to the routine of school and cultivation base.
Unbeknownst to him, the breakthrough had an impact—a day later, another joyous event arrived. Ah Fu's Waterfall Climbing Skill reached Perfection, fulfilling the evolution conditions.
