Chapter 50: Ah Fu's Evolution
Chapter 50: Ah Fu's Evolution
Ah Fu had gathered the necessary conditions for evolution, but this didn't guarantee a smooth transition into becoming a Green Scaled Dragon.
The waterfall climbing stage was a significant challenge as well.
"Uncle An, I have a carp here that can evolve. I wonder how the preparation for the matter we discussed last time is going?" Li Qian made a phone call.
On the other end, An Hou Nian's voice sounded, "Little Qian, I've been thinking about the venue for the evolution since early on. However, there's no waterfall with a drop of over a hundred meters in Lingwater City, and from my investigations, Yunwu Mountain's scenic area is indeed the best choice, as there's no waterfall with a drop exceeding a hundred meters in Lingwater City or its surroundings, according to my investigation."
"Alright, you contact the scenic area management, we'll need at least an evening. By the way, Captain Liu Changfeng of the Yunlan City Special Operations Team might be able to help with this matter." Li Qian said.
He was well aware that such opportunities were hard to come by, and he didn't want to trouble An Hou Nian.
However, he still had some reservations, feeling that Yunlan Mountain might not be as simple as it seemed.
The last time, the attack by the ancient god sect's heretics, was it really just a coincidence? After two more days of intensive training at the base, on Wednesday, Li Qian set off for Yunlan City with his mother, Han Yuying, and An Paozi.
Accompanying them were An Paozi's Coalhead, Liu Changfeng's Ah Long, and three of the most promising carp from the base, trained in waterfall climbing.
The group arrived at the high-speed rail station.
Liu Changfeng was already waiting at the exit, "Welcome back to Yunlan City, Li Qian."
"This time, I'll be responsible for your safety. Oh, and did Ah Long come along?"
Li Qian handed over a Beast Orb, "The carp you chose is excellent, and it's been trained rigorously."
In terms of potential, Ah Long and Coalhead were on par.
However, Ah Long had a better temperament, somewhat like Seven, and was extremely diligent in training, which made Li Qian favor it more.
The group set off towards the Yunlan Mountain scenic area.
"Li Qian, the Scenic Area Management Office has just sent a message that the area around the Hundred Foot Waterfall has been cleared, and from now until 5 am tomorrow, there won't be any tourists there." Liu Changfeng informed.
It was already 10 pm in the evening.
Li Qian nodded, "Then let's go."
Even before they got close, about two to three hundred meters away from the Hundred Foot Waterfall, they saw a sign.
"Dear tourists, the Hundred Foot Waterfall attraction is currently under maintenance and is temporarily closed. Please understand."
A warning line had been set up.
It was clear that Liu Changfeng had arranged this, and Li Qian looked at him gratefully, "Captain Liu, you've gone to a lot of trouble."
"It's no trouble at all." Liu Changfeng waved his hand.
The group arrived at the pond beneath the Hundred Foot Waterfall.
"Seven, you can come out too!" Upon reaching their destination, Li Qian didn't waste any time and summoned Seven.
Seven plunged into the water with a splash, revealing his head, his eyes filled with anticipation.
Ah Fu was, after all, his old comrade-in-arms.
After summoning Seven, Li Qian released the day's main attraction, Ah Fu.
In addition, Coalhead, Ah Long, and the three promising carp were also released.
Seeing that Li Qian was ready, An Paozi and Liu Changfeng were very considerate and retreated beyond the warning line.
The evolution process was a core secret among breeders, and if Li Qian didn't initiate it, staying there intentionally would be an offense.
The last time, An Paozi didn't understand this, and Li Qian hadn't realized it either, but this time was different. Before they came, An Hou Nian had already reminded him.
Liu Changfeng had also witnessed Qi Zai's evolution the last time, but by the time he noticed, Qi Zai was already close to the summit.
In the end, what did Li Qian throw that he couldn't discern in the darkness of the night?
In any case, last time, both of them had their reasons, or they didn't realize, or they didn't have the time.
This time, they couldn't afford to make the same mistake again.
Seeing An Paozi and Liu Changfeng tactfully leaving, Li Qian didn't say anything. This was the rule of the Beastmaster world, and he didn't need to be unconventional.
Moreover, this rule ultimately protected his interests.
"Mom, you sign the contract with Ah Fu first." Without wasting any time, Li Qian turned his gaze towards his mother, Han Yuying.
As she had been informed beforehand about the procedure, Han Yuying didn't hesitate and directly signed the Soul Contract with Ah Fu.
Ah Fu had been with the Li family for nearly twenty years, and he had formed an emotional bond with the family of three.
Signing the Soul Contract with Han Yuying was not something he couldn't accept.
The contract was quickly signed, and Li Qian wasted no time. He took out the dragon bone powder and fed it to Ah Fu.
After consuming a sufficient amount of dragon bone powder, Ah Fu immediately rushed towards the waterfall.
Soon, he transformed into a water line and started climbing against the torrential waterfall.
Li Qian watched this scene while climbing the stone steps beside the waterfall, just like the last time.
Unlike Qi Zai's evolution, this time, he was more worried.
He was aware that although the evolution conditions of the two were generally the same, Qi Zai's mental attributes were clearly higher than Ah Fu's.
Qi Zai could grit his teeth and persist in climbing to the top of the waterfall, but Ah Fu might not be able to do the same.
Indeed, as Li Qian had expected, Ah Fu could only climb up to about two-thirds of the waterfall before he became unable to move further.
Seeing this, Li Qian shook his head.
"It seems that today is not the day," he muttered to himself.
Fortunately, things were different from the past; he no longer had financial worries, and the crystal necklace contained over a hundred pounds of dragon bone powder.
If it didn't work out tonight, they could only return to rest and try again tomorrow night. If it still didn't work tomorrow, they would have to keep trying.
Li Qian had plenty of time, and at school, his awakened state granted him more freedom, with teachers not managing him as strictly.
Even with ample time and the opportunity to continue the challenge, he didn't want to use this chance.
It would be best if it succeeded in one go.
It wasn't a matter of failing after the first attempt and becoming exhausted after the third attempt; Li Qian could clearly sense that a successful evolution of the Green Scaled Dragon would undoubtedly have greater potential in the future.
Frowning at Ah Fu, who was almost at his limit, Li Qian had a sudden thought and came up with an idea. He contacted Qi Zai through the Soul Contract.
Following Li Qian's command, Qi Zai also displayed the Waterfall Climbing Skill. With his current dragon body, climbing the Hundred Foot Waterfall was a piece of cake.
Qi Zai's speed was extremely fast, and the water he stirred up was exceptionally robust. In just a moment, he reached Ah Fu's side and then surpassed him.
With Qi Zai's interference, the waterfall's water flow was significantly reduced, essentially providing Ah Fu with some relief.
With Qi Zai's help, Ah Fu continued climbing, and although it was still challenging, the reduced water flow made it less dangerous.
Finally, with a bit of a scare, Ah Fu managed to climb up.
