Beast Taming: I'm Really Not a Cultivation Master

Chapter 229: Chapter 205: Extreme Fierce Storm Eagle

Zhonghai City, South Suburb, Sky Realm Cultivation Base.

At this very moment, on a patch of flat ground in the western part of the Cultivation Base, the Gray Bean Dove, Xiaohui, was undergoing a momentous evolution.

For a Pet Beast, this was undoubtedly the most crucial step in its growth.

It was no exaggeration to call it a great leap in its very existence.

The evolution continued. A pale cyan Light of Evolution formed a cocoon of light, completely enveloping the Gray Bean Dove, Xiaohui.

The three of them—Li Qian, Shi Gui Fang, and Shi Yulian—all witnessed this scene.

Their eyes were fixed on the evolving Pet Beast, their expressions exceptionally focused.

The Light of Evolution grew increasingly intense, tugging at their nerves—especially Li Qian’s and Shi Gui Fang’s.

Li Qian had absorbed the information that was infused into him upon completing the mission. He instantly grasped the method for evolving a Gray Bean Dove into an Extreme Fierce Storm Eagle, understanding every key point and detail. Even so, he couldn’t help but feel a little worried until the evolution was truly complete.

Finally, after about half an hour, the pale cyan Light of Evolution began to gradually dim.

”SKREEE! SKREEE!”

Just as Li Qian and the others were watching the Light of Evolution dim, their faces filling with anticipation, two loud, clear bird cries suddenly rang out.

Immediately after, the three of them saw a massive, bird-shaped silhouette, wreathed in brilliance, shoot up into the sky.

As everyone knows, objects appear smaller the farther away they are. Yet, as this bird-shaped silhouette soared higher and farther into the sky, its form only grew larger and larger.

Finally, when the radiant, bird-shaped silhouette soared a hundred meters into the air, Li Qian looked up and estimated that the evolved Xiaohui was now about the size of a car.

”It finally worked!” Though he had known all along that the evolution would succeed without a hitch, Li Qian couldn’t stop his heart from swelling with immense joy now that he saw it with his own eyes.

”This is...?” Shi Gui Fang had also witnessed the entire process. Even as a direct descendant of a major clan who had seen her fair share of ”grand spectacles,” she couldn’t help but let out a gasp of astonishment.

Of course, her surprise was also due to her personal involvement and vested interest in the outcome.

Shi Yulian also watched the evolution, but unlike Shi Gui Fang, her emotions showed little fluctuation.

However, the way she looked at Li Qian was now clearly different than before.

Looking at his youthful and somewhat naive appearance, Shi Yulian couldn’t help but speculate, ’He must still be a student...’

As a professor at Zhonghai Beast Taming University, her first thought at that moment was... to poach him.

She wondered if she could use reason and incentives to pry Li Qian over to Zhonghai Beast Taming University. The possibility that he might already be a student there never even crossed her mind.

’Given his genius for cultivation, if he were a student at Zhonghai Beast Taming University, he certainly wouldn’t be obscure. I would’ve heard of him long before now.’

Each of the three was lost in their own thoughts as they gazed up a hundred meters into the air. While they were thus preoccupied, the Light of Evolution surrounding Xiaohui finally faded away completely.

Although he already knew what kind of Pet Beast Xiaohui would become after its evolution, it was still his first time seeing an Extreme Fierce Storm Eagle in person—and one he had evolved himself. Li Qian couldn’t help but widen his eyes and stare for a moment longer.

Under Li Qian’s expectant gaze, the newly transformed Xiaohui finally revealed its true form.

”So this is an Extreme Fierce Storm Eagle!”

Since Shi Gui Fang had just trailed off in astonishment, Li Qian simply picked up where she left off and answered her question.

After completing its evolution, the Extreme Fierce Storm Eagle’s Racial Potential was still lower than that of the Cyan-Scaled Flood Dragon or the Frostfire Salamander.

However, in its brand-new Evolutionary Form, its majestic and extraordinary aura was in no way inferior to the other two.

Its body was enormous, like a small car.

Its grayish-cyan talons and beak gleamed with a deadly cold light.

Li Qian had no doubt that such talons and beak could easily shatter steel and rock to pieces.

The newborn Extreme Fierce Storm Eagle was covered in a tapestry of cyan and brown feathers, which intertwined to form strange patterns that looked both mysterious and noble.

Another very distinct feature was on its forehead, where a single, ribbon-like cyan Feather had sprouted.

Finally, there was its spirited posture and its proud, untamable look. One glance was enough to know it was on a completely different level from ordinary Pet Beasts.

Without hesitation, Li Qian immediately used his Eye of True Sight Talent to inspect it.

[Name: Extreme Fierce Storm Eagle (Xiaohui)]

[Attribute: Wind]

[Level: Tier Nine Elite]

[Potential: Tier One Dominator]

[Skills: Wind Blade (Perfection), Gale Feather Blade (Mastery), Tornado (Mastery), Wind Disc (Skilled), Gale Slash (Skilled), Wind Speed (Skilled), Wind’s Breath (Beginner)]

’Huh, it learned the Wind’s Breath skill. For future evolutions, I won’t need to rely on anyone else.’

After seeing Xiaohui’s skills, Li Qian couldn’t help but nod to himself in satisfaction.

”Young man, you’re quite impressive. I didn’t expect you to actually crack the evolution method from Gray Bean Dove to Extreme Fierce Storm Eagle.” With the dust settled, Shi Yulian smiled and offered her praise.

”Cracked?” Li Qian immediately latched onto the keyword. ”Elder Shi, what do you mean?”

”It’s just as you’re thinking. The Extreme Fierce Storm Eagle has actually existed for a long time, but its evolution method has always been in the hands of two major Beast Taming Clans in Kyoto.”

Shi Yulian seemed to be in a very good mood. She continued, clarifying Li Qian’s confusion, ”Normally, the price to have them evolve an Extreme Fierce Storm Eagle is quite steep. If you don’t have thirty million, there’s no point in even asking.”

”That expensive!” Li Qian couldn’t help but sound astonished. He knew that for a Pet Beast whose Racial Potential barely reached Tier One Dominator, that price was already something of a premium.

”That’s why cultivation is actually an incredibly lucrative business.” Seeing the shock on Li Qian’s face and hearing the naivety in his voice, the smile on Shi Yulian’s face grew even wider.

Her voice was gentle as she added lightly in a half-joking tone, ”Of course, the prerequisite is that you have the skill to produce such heavyweight results.”

As she said this, her gaze rested on Li Qian, her unspoken meaning perfectly clear.

Li Qian understood her unspoken meaning and felt a little embarrassed.

Having received such indirect praise, he felt a bit awkward and quickly changed the subject. ”So, in that case, will there be any... repercussions?”
