Beast Taming: I'm Really Not a Cultivation Master

Chapter 73: Chapter 67: Not a Cyan-Scaled Flood Dragon

”So, in all likelihood, this Light of Evolution isn’t from a Cyan-Scaled Flood Dragon.”

Without pausing, she continued, ”...Instead, it’s a new Evolutionary Form he’s researching. This one also evolves from a Koi Carp. He discovered it by chance while studying the Cyan-Scaled Flood Dragon...”

”So that’s how it is!”

Realization dawned on Xue Huaiyu and Zhou Chubin’s faces, followed by shock and disbelief. They were both struck speechless, frozen like statues. When they finally came to their senses, the desire in their eyes grew even more intense in an instant.

If everything Chu Xiran said was true, then Li Qian wasn’t just an ordinary or slightly lucky Beast Taming genius, but a monstrous prodigy seen only once in a century.

A monstrous prodigy like that could change the power and status of a Beast Taming University. They had to do everything in their power to recruit him. At this thought, their eyes lit up, and they stared intently at the nearby woods.

”I wonder if Li Qian mentioned to you what kind of Pet Beast this Evolutionary Form is?” Xue Huaiyu asked, trying her best to contain her shock.

’At this point, she was already re-evaluating Li Qian’s worth in her mind.’

Discovering the evolutionary path from Koi Carp to Cyan-Scaled Flood Dragon could be attributed to a stroke of extreme luck or a sudden burst of inspiration. But to discover a second evolutionary path for the Koi Carp on top of that was more than enough to prove his true ability.

Discovering two Evolutionary Forms in such a short time—and from the looks of it, both were incredible Pet Beasts—couldn’t be explained away by simple luck.

And judging by this dense, overwhelming Light of Evolution, one could at least be certain that this new Evolutionary Form’s Potential was also astonishing.

It might not be inferior to the Cyan-Scaled Flood Dragon at all.

Seeing the anticipation in Xue Huaiyu’s eyes, Chu Xiran gave a faint smile. ”We’ll find out in a little while, won’t we?”

This time, she didn’t reveal the truth. It was partly because Li Qian hadn’t been entirely certain last time, but also because she wanted them to witness the shock with their own eyes.

’Then they’ll have to consider what price they’re willing to pay to poach my student.’

The four of them stood there quietly, gazing at the nearby woods. Just then, Han Yuqing walked over, leading a woman dressed in black leather, who radiated an untamed beauty.

”Is that... the Light of Evolution?” As they drew a little closer, the two also saw the distinct pillar of light.

Amid her shock, the woman in black leather couldn’t help but murmur to herself, ”Is it a Cyan-Scaled Flood Dragon?”

”Probably not!” Han Yuqing, beside her, immediately gave a negative answer.

She had seen a Cyan-Scaled Flood Dragon’s evolution before. While that Light of Evolution had also been brilliant and magnificent, it was completely different from what she was seeing now.

Most importantly, there wasn’t a waterfall on their base that met the requirements, so how could it evolve?

Hearing this, the woman in black leather shot Han Yuqing a questioning glance. Seeing that Han Yuqing had no intention of explaining further, she shifted her gaze toward Xue Huaiyu’s group of four in the distance.

”Teacher Zhou, Teacher Xue, what a... coincidence!” the woman in black leather said immediately upon seeing Xue Huaiyu and Zhou Chubin.

”And you are?” Since Xue Huaiyu didn’t recognize the woman, she asked directly.

”Teacher Xue, it’s perfectly normal that you don’t recognize me, but I’ve certainly heard a great deal about you. Our chancellor often tells me I should learn from you,” the woman in black leather said enthusiastically, extending a hand to greet Xue Huaiyu.

After the polite remark, she finally introduced herself. ”My name is Ai Xiaolian. I’m a newly hired admissions teacher for Mizhou Beast Taming University.”

Xue Huaiyu’s expression didn’t change as she listened to Ai Xiaolian’s introduction, but inwardly, she was already complaining.

’Mizhou Beast Taming University is so shameless! They actually copied our Shazhou Beast Taming University’s beauty... I mean, recruitment strategy!’

Of course, the person whose thoughts were in even more of a jumble right now was Zhou Chubin.

’What in the world is wrong with this world? A perfectly fine recruitment process has been turned into this circus. Before, it was just Shazhou Beast Taming University. Now, great, another one from Mizhou Beast Taming University shows up.’

’This won’t do. I have to go back and suggest to the chancellor that we at Jiangnan Beast Taming University should also find a more... eye-catching admissions teacher.’

’If we want to compete with them, we can’t act all high and mighty. We have to be willing to play their game.’

’Hmm, Teacher Guo Xiaoyue from our university is a great choice. Those legs of hers are to die for...’
