Beast Taming: I'm Really Not a Cultivation Master

Chapter 242: Chapter 218: Extreme Fierce Sky Escape Eagle

Li Qian sat cross-legged in the center of a glowing circle. He had barely had time to process the sensation of traveling through High-dimensional Space when, after only a few minutes, the chaotic colors around him began to fade.

’Are we here already?’

Sensing the Energy fluctuations of the Space Transmission Array weakening, Li Qian guessed they were about to reach their destination.

And just as he suspected, the chaotic colors surrounding the Space Transmission Array quickly vanished, replaced once more by a hazy, ambient glow.

Li Qian saw some passengers, who clearly weren’t first-timers, already getting to their feet. Assuming they were preparing to disembark, he stood up as well.

Just as he did, a crisp, pleasant electronic voice chimed in. ”Dear passengers, thank you for using this Teleportation Array. We have arrived at our destination, Qianshan City. Please take your personal belongings and exit the Teleportation Array.”

As the announcement played, a Light Gate slowly materialized outside the Teleportation Array, revealing an exit passage.

Li Qian glanced around again, noticing the hazy glow surrounding the Space Transmission Array had become very faint.

Faint as it was, the intricate patterns of the Space Transmission Array remained obscured.

Seeing other passengers stepping out of the glowing circle and heading for the exit, Li Qian wasted no time and followed them.

Li Qian followed along quietly, careful not to draw any attention. Once through the gate, he gave the area a quick scan before heading directly for another exit.

That was the exit for checked items. Li Qian saw another passenger heading that way and followed suit.

His emotions were a complex mix of nervousness and eager anticipation.

Although he knew failure was unlikely, Li Qian couldn’t help but feel a little tense. If the evolution succeeded, this would be the first Emperor Level Pet Beast to come from his research.

Mechanical Spirits appeared, identical to the ones he had seen at the Zhonghai City Transmission Center.

Like busy little bees, the Mechanical Spirits zipped back and forth, quickly retrieving all the Beast Taming Balls from the transport channel.

Li Qian spotted the Beast Taming Ball containing Xiaohui at a glance. On the surface, it looked unchanged.

After silently retrieving his Beast Taming Ball, Li Qian followed the other passengers out of the Transmission Center.

Qianshan City’s Teleportation Tower looked almost identical to the one in Zhonghai City. Both were iron tower structures, at least eighty or ninety percent similar in appearance.

Li Qian didn’t waste any time after leaving the Teleportation Tower. He hailed a taxi and headed straight for the nearest suburb.

The city was too crowded, with too many prying eyes; releasing Xiaohui there would be inappropriate. Besides, there was a flight restriction ordinance: flying above three hundred meters would get you arrested by the Public Security Bureau. All things considered, the outskirts were the most suitable location.

The taxi was fast, reaching the North Suburb in only about an hour.

One had to remember that Qianshan City, like Zhonghai City, was a Special Level City. Its urban sprawl was enormous, so making the trip in just an hour was remarkably fast.

Li Qian scanned the surroundings and had the taxi stop on a stretch of road where there were no buildings in sight.

After all, this was the suburbs. Even without any buildings, the landscape was far from desolate.

The fields along the road were planted with all sorts of grains and vegetables. In the height of summer, the plants were lush and verdant, bursting with life.

He stood there for a moment, waiting until the taxi was a distant speck before he made his move.

Li Qian crossed the ditch by the side of the road and walked along the earthen ridges between the fields for ten-odd minutes.

He came to a small, uncultivated patch of land overgrown with weeds. It wasn’t large, but it was more than enough space for what he had in mind.

Upon reaching his destination, Li Qian scanned his surroundings and nodded in satisfaction. He took out the Beast Taming Ball, glanced at it, and threw it into the air.

The red-and-white Beast Taming Ball shot into the air, unleashing a burst of white light. A moment later, to Li Qian’s delight, a magnificent avian Pet Beast soared into the sky.

The avian Pet Beast Li Qian had just released from the Beast Taming Ball was none other than the Extreme Fierce Storm Eagle, Xiaohui.

No, to be precise, Xiaohui’s identity was no longer the Extreme Fierce Storm Eagle, but the Extreme Fierce Sky Escape Eagle.

Yes, just as Li Qian had predicted, Xiaohui had successfully evolved into an Extreme Fierce Sky Escape Eagle. Its appearance had changed significantly from its time as an Extreme Fierce Storm Eagle.

First, its size. Compared to an Extreme Fierce Storm Eagle, the fully evolved Extreme Fierce Sky Escape Eagle was nearly twice as large.

While it probably hadn’t reached the size of a hundred-meter-long giant eagle, its wingspan was now easily several dozen meters.

Second, the color of its plumage. Numerous bright, silver-colored feathers had appeared among its original ones.

These brilliant silver feathers ran from the Extreme Fierce Sky Escape Eagle’s neck all the way to its tail. To Li Qian, they seemed to give Xiaohui an even more majestic and imposing aura.

Finally, there were the ribbon-like ornamental Feathers extending from its forehead. Before, there was only a single cyan one; now, there were two.

In addition to the original cyan Feather, there was now a silver one. Both Feathers were identical in size and length, adding a certain flair to Xiaohui’s appearance.

With no time for further admiration, Li Qian saw the Extreme Fierce Sky Escape Eagle Xiaohui soar into the sky and immediately used his Beast Taming Talent—the Eye of True Sight—to inspect its information.

[Name: Extreme Fierce Sky Escape Eagle (Xiaohui)]

[Attribute: Wind, Space]

[Level: Commander Fourth Rank]

[Potential: Tier One Emperor]

[Skills: Wind Blade (Perfection), Gale Feather Blade (Perfection), Tornado (Mastery), Wind Disc (Mastery), Gale Slash (Mastery), Wind Speed (Skilled), Wind’s Breath (Beginner), Instant Movement (Beginner), Dimension Slash (Beginner), Spatial Imprisonment (Beginner), Space Concealment (Beginner)]

Li Qian stared at the Extreme Fierce Sky Escape Eagle Xiaohui’s information, his delight impossible to conceal.

At first glance, the gains seemed minor—just three new Spatial Skills and an increase in proficiency for some Wind Skills. But Li Qian knew better.

The new Spatial Attribute had completely shattered Xiaohui’s growth ceiling. Its Potential of Tier One Emperor was a clear testament to that.

From Extreme Fierce Storm Eagle to Extreme Fierce Sky Escape Eagle, the change might have seemed small on paper, but in reality, it was a complete, fundamental transformation.

Previously, Li Qian could use Qizai and Xiaoliu for Xiaohui’s pressure training. That was no longer an option. Now, even though both Qizai and Xiaoliu had reached the Elite High Order, neither would be a match for Xiaohui.

But Li Qian wasn’t worried. Both Qizai and Xiaoliu had only undergone their First-stage Evolution, whereas Xiaohui had already completed its Second-stage Evolution. When it came to their ultimate potential, the final outcome was still far from certain.

Besides, with both beasts reaching the Elite High Order, the pressure on Li Qian was mounting. If he didn’t work hard, he feared both Qizai and Xiaoliu would be stuck at Tier Nine Elite, unable to break through because of the limits of his own Spiritual Power Level.
