Chapter 1158: It doesn’t want to evolve (two in one)

Dawn.

Qiao Sang lay on her bed, closed her eyes, and entered the yu beast codex with her consciousness. After reviewing the data for Ya Bao and the others, she turned to the page where Xiao Xunbao was located.

Name: Night Ring King

Attribute: Ghost-type, Superpower, Evil-type

Level: King-level (1037675 / 10000000) +

…

Points: 10976

Although Xiao Xunbao had already collected all the evolution materials for its next stage, it hadn’t been long since it evolved into Night Ring King. The rapid increase in the data behind its level was largely due to the armor made of ancient nether gold.

The last time it evolved into Night Ring King, she had already added Points, and this time the Points were added to Shadow Penetration, leaving only a little over ten thousand. Even if all of them were added, it wouldn’t elevate Xiao Xunbao’s strength from the early King-level to the mid King-level.

Currently, Xiao Xunbao only has energy requirements. It seems she’ll have to let Xiao Xunbao engage in more battles, like Xiaoting Dragon, to increase its Points…

As Qiao Sang thought, she quickly flipped to the last page.

Name: Xiaoting Dragon

Attribute: Dragon, Electric

Level: Beginner (452 / 1000) +

…

Points: 7123

Even though she had already seen the data once, Qiao Sang was still a little excited to see it again.

Over seven thousand Points were completely enough for Xiaoting Dragon to evolve to the intermediate level.

The Points gained from harvesting beyond its level were generous. Even though it didn’t feel like many Pets were ultimately taken down by Xiaoting Dragon’s Discharge, it still gained over seven thousand Points.

If this were in a competition, battling Pets of the same stage, she wondered how many competitions she would have to enter to accumulate this many.

It’s just a pity that Xiaoting Dragon’s Discharge skill hasn’t been trained to Profound Meaning. It seems she can appropriately reduce the time spent battling and increase training time in the future…

Xiaoting Dragon’s evolution also needs to be prepared. She remembered that the evolution condition was to be struck by Ten Thousand Volts of lightning all over its body for a period of time. As long as it could endure, it could evolve.

Thinking of this, Qiao Sang couldn’t help but curve her lips.

This evolution condition might be a bit difficult for ordinary Beginner Pets, but for Xiaoting Dragon, which has Lightning Rod, it’s virtually stress-free.

As long as Xiaoting Dragon trains its Discharge skill to Profound Meaning, and she finds a Pet that can use Ten Thousand Volts, it can successfully complete its evolution.

Speaking of which, Qingbao’s Fairy Tears should be arriving soon…

After reviewing Qingbao’s data, Qiao Sang’s consciousness returned to reality. She closed her eyes contentedly and drifted into dreamland.

…

“Ting Ting?”

In the early morning, Xiaoting Dragon woke from its sleep, looked at its surroundings, and showed a bewildered expression.

Wasn’t it eating?

“You fell asleep after drinking yesterday,” Qiao Sang said as she walked out of the bathroom, brushing her teeth.

“Ting Ting…”

Xiaoting Dragon recalled fragments of yesterday and the food on the table that it hadn’t had time to eat, revealing an expression of regret.

It felt like it had lost a lot.

At this moment, Ya Bao jumped off the bed.

Xiaoting Dragon’s thoughts abruptly stopped. It quickly moved its body, jumped off the bed, and followed along.

Qiao Sang finished washing up, put her packed belongings into the ring, and went downstairs to the dining table with Mi Jiala and Ya Bao to enjoy breakfast.

The food on the table was very rich, clearly prepared with care.

“Leng Leng?”

Cool Frog, wearing an apron, brought a plate of exquisite pastries to the dining table and called out expressionlessly.

“Steel Chief.”

Steel Treasure translated in its mind.

It’s asking if breakfast is delicious?

“It’s delicious,” Qiao Sang replied with a smile.

“Leng Leng.” Cool Frog called out coolly and turned to leave.

Steel Treasure was silent for a moment and did not translate immediately.

“What did it say?” Qiao Sang couldn’t help but ask.

“Xiao Xunbao…” Xiao Xunbao, with its cheeks full of food, called out.

It said it’s happy if it’s delicious.

Qiao Sang also fell silent.

So it was saying it was happy? She thought it was unhappy. This expression was even more emotionless than Lu Bao…

“Steel Chief.”

Steel Treasure called out in its mind, indicating agreement.

Mi Jiala took a sip of milk and said:

“I’ve already contacted the appraisal agency. We’re returning to Gaozhou today.”

So efficient… Even though Qiao Sang knew that Teacher Mi Jiala was incredibly efficient, she was still surprised and couldn’t help but ask:

“What appraisal agency?”

“Royal Beast Appraisal Center,” Mi Jiala said. “It’s a direct unit of the Beast Tamer Alliance. High-level Yu Beast Masters have priority in enjoying appraisal rights.”

There’s even a priority right to appraisal, this era that values levels… Fortunately, she is now considered a high-level Yu Beast Master… Qiao Sang inwardly complained a bit, then said in a relaxed tone:

“Actually, there’s no need to rush now, since the SS-Class ice wane crystal has already been found.”

“Have you contacted that student?” Mi Jiala asked.

Qiao Sang “hmm”ed and rambled about the transaction process, finally sighing:

“I didn’t expect the other party to also be from Di Class. I thought it would take over a month to receive the Pure Nightstone.”

Someone from Di Class… There are so few people in Di Class, yet such a coincidence happened… Mi Jiala asked:

“What’s the other party’s name?”

“I don’t know, I didn’t ask,” Qiao Sang said. “His account is anonymous, and it starts with the character ‘Zhuang’.”

Mi Jiala elegantly wiped her mouth and said:

“You’re probably talking about Zhuang Le. He’s an S-Class Beast Master. If he’s competitive enough, you might see him in the next Interstellar Cup.”

Qiao Sang: “!!!”

To be honest, she really didn’t expect that she was actually trading with a big shot who was about to participate in the Interstellar Cup.

Although the entire Di Class was training talents specifically for the Interstellar Cup, she still felt a sense of unreality when she suddenly came into contact with a big shot who might participate in the next Interstellar Cup.

Just as she was thinking, the guesthouse owner, wearing an apron, walked over and said enthusiastically:

“How’s the taste?”

“Not bad,” Mi Jiala commented.

Qiao Sang said, “I still need to thank you again for the SS-Class ice wane crystal yesterday.”

“No need, why be so polite? I should be thanking you,” the young man said with a smile. “I already said yesterday, if it weren’t for you, Cool Frog wouldn’t have come back. If it hadn’t come back, I definitely wouldn’t have this ice wane crystal. To put it simply, you found the ice wane crystal.”

After speaking, he asked:

“When are you planning to leave today?”

“We’ll leave after eating,” Qiao Sang said.

“So fast.” The young man’s tone was a little surprised, and reluctant.

“Don’t worry, if there’s a chance, we’ll come back,” Qiao Sang said with a smile.

The young man smiled again: “Then I’ll be waiting for you.”

“Leng Leng!” Cold Heart Frog called out from outside.

“Coming!” The young man responded and left the dining room.

After dinner, Cool Frog came to clear the table.

Qiao Sang took out an ice soul she had prepared earlier and handed it over, saying:

“Here, this is called ice soul. It can enhance your Ice talent. You can either consume it or wear it. It will allow you to evolve faster. Consider it a return gift for the ice wane crystal you gave me.”

“Leng Leng.”

Cool Frog didn’t even look at the ice soul and pushed it back, calling out.

Qiao Sang said with a smile, “It’s okay. The ice wane crystal you gave is much more valuable than this ice soul.”

“Leng Leng.”

Cool Frog shook its head.

Although its expression was somewhat cool, one could still feel its seriousness in its eyes.

“Why don’t you want it?” Qiao Sang asked.

“Leng Leng.”

Cool Frog was silent for a second, then called out, indicating that it didn’t want to evolve.

“Steel Chief.”

Steel Treasure helped translate in its mind.

Ya Bao and the others looked at Cool Frog with surprised and puzzled expressions, not understanding why there would be a Pet unwilling to evolve.

Qiao Sang was equally puzzled and asked:

“Why are you unwilling to evolve?”

Cool Frog didn’t answer immediately but looked towards the direction of the hall.

The dining room and the hall were separated by a courtyard. Through the glass window, it was not difficult to see the layout of the room opposite.

Qiao Sang looked over and saw the young man currently greeting tourists.

“Leng Leng.”

Cool Frog withdrew its gaze and called out.

Its next evolved form would experience even less emotion, and it didn’t want to become like that.

“Steel Chief.”

Steel Treasure helped translate.

Upon hearing this, Qiao Sang seemed to understand something and sighed inwardly.

Like Lu Bao, it achieved evolution based on various extreme weather and emotional energies. Due to the tempering of various emotions, Lu Bao later achieved great enlightenment, and its emotions became extremely stable, completing the “Path of Ruthlessness.”

Cool Frog also follows the Path of Ruthlessness, but compared to Lu Bao, its Path of Ruthlessness is inherent in its genes, more like being forced. Regardless of whether Cool Frog wants to or not, as long as it evolves, it will become even more cold and ruthless.

“The fact that you can think this way means you’re not completely cool,” Qiao Sang said.

Cool Frog was startled for a moment.

“I understand your thoughts now.” Qiao Sang put the ice soul back into her pocket and said gently, “I hope we’ll have a chance to meet again in the future.”

“Leng Leng.”

Cool Frog nodded, then it thought of something and forced a stiff, rather unsightly smile.

…

In the sky, a white airplane emerged from the clouds, descending with a rumbling sound at Gaozhou International Airport.

During the flight and glide, Qiao Sang looked out the window, silent.

“You haven’t said a word this whole trip. What are you thinking about?” Mi Jiala asked.

Qiao Sang was silent for a moment and said:

“I’m a little worried.”

“Worried about what?” Mi Jiala asked again.

“The evolution paths of Ya Bao and Steel Treasure are unknown, and there are no precedents for their forms. I’m worried that their personalities might change after they evolve,” Qiao Sang expressed her concern.

“Ya Ya…”

As soon as Ya Bao heard its Yu Beast Master say this, it also started to worry.

Steel Treasure silently glanced at its Yu Beast Master, showing an expression of “you’re overthinking it.”

Qiao Sang continued:

“And Xiao Xunbao, it now has an Evil-type attribute. Do you think its personality will drastically change because of this attribute when it evolves to the Emperor-level?”

“Xiao Xunbao~”

Xiao Xunbao immediately perked up.

Drastic change in personality?

It imagined itself with calm eyes like Lu Bao, but full of the demeanor of a strong expert, and also imagined itself charging bravely forward against powerful enemies like Big Brother Ya Bao. Its eyes lit up, feeling that a change in personality might not be bad after all.

“Qing Qing…”

Qingbao glanced at Xiao Xunbao. It couldn’t imagine what Xiao Xunbao’s personality would be like if it changed.

Mi Jiala understood why Qiao Sang suddenly thought of this and said:

“Pets like Cool Frog are very rare. You don’t need to worry too much.”

Qiao Sang suddenly thought of something and asked:

“Have you ever had a Pet whose personality suddenly changed drastically due to evolution?”

Mi Jiala suddenly fell silent.

“Mog Mog!”

Dragon King showed an expression of “I know” and called out.

Before it could continue, Mi Jiala spoke:

“There was one, Meimei. She used to be quite diligent, but later she became someone who loved sleeping all day.”

Pen Jiami: “???”

“Mog…”

Dragon King was about to say something more when Mi Jiala covered its mouth and said, “We’ve arrived.”

As soon as she finished speaking, the plane landed smoothly, and the announcement sounded:

“Ladies and gentlemen, we have safely arrived at our destination…”

“Mog Mog.”

Dragon King pulled its Yu Beast Master’s hand away and called out, indicating, “Are you trying to stop me from speaking?”

Mi Jiala smiled slightly and whispered, “Don’t forget, Qiao Sang is my student.”

Dragon King snorted, but didn’t say anything more.

If its Yu Beast Master lost face, it wouldn’t benefit either.

It seems Teacher Mi Jiala has some gossip… Qiao Sang suppressed her desire for gossip and did not inquire.

After getting off the plane, the temperature suddenly became hot.

Xiaoting Dragon instantly abandoned Ya Bao and ran towards Lu Bao.

Mi Jiala opened the navigation and handed it to Pen Jiami.

Pen Jiami took a look, and its eyes glowed blue.

The next second, the two people and the group of Pets disappeared from their original spot.

…

The Royal Beast Appraisal Center is located in the central area of Gaozhou.

As a direct unit of the Beast Tamer Alliance, the appraisers inside are highly trusted by everyone. Any appraisal certificate stamped with the Royal Beast Appraisal Center’s seal possesses extremely high authority.

Even if the price is a bit higher than other appraisal agencies, many people still specifically come here for appraisals.

It was currently working hours, and many people and Pets were entering and exiting the Royal Beast Appraisal Center.

Qiao Sang, holding Colored Flower Bud Shalala, and Mi Jiala walked into the appraisal center and approached the front desk.

Mi Jiala gave her name and said, “I already have an appointment.”

“Please wait a moment.” The front desk picked up the desk phone and made a call to report.

A moment later, a man in a white shirt walked out from inside and respectfully said:

“Please follow me.”

Qiao Sang and Mi Jiala followed behind him.

Before long, the three stopped at a doorway.

The man gently knocked on the wooden door.

“Jian Jian.” A mellow Pet voice came from inside.

The man twisted the office door open and led Qiao Sang and Mi Jiala inside.

In front of a solid wood desk sat a Pet wearing a tie and black-rimmed glasses, with a black body and a wooden head.

Treasure Appraisal Demon, a Ghost-type General-level Pet, likes appraising treasures, and its presence is guaranteed wherever there are true treasures… Qiao Sang’s mind flashed with the information of the Pet in front of her.

“Xiao Xunbao…”

Xiao Xunbao was startled when it saw that the Pet sitting at the desk was a Ghost-type Pet.

“Jian Jian?” Treasure Appraisal Demon called out.

The man translated:

“What materials do you need to appraise? You can take them out for us to see first.”

This person can actually translate, could he be the Treasure Appraisal Demon’s Yu Beast Master… Qiao Sang looked around the environment and hesitated:

“This place might be too small.”

Treasure Appraisal Demon: “???”

Man: “???” (End of Chapter)
