10: Gradually metamorphosed

The senior sister, who had been eavesdropping for a while, gave up on the idea of enlightening the blockhead. She was still a single dog herself, so why bother doing good deeds? (⋟﹏⋞)

Looking at Li Wen's retreating figure, she thought of her own lost youth… Li Wen returned home with a tired body, seeing the Little Green Worm lying on a leaf in a glass container, leisurely eating leaves and watching TV.

After a hard day, Li Wen's hunched back was truly broken.

However, now that he was home, he could finally properly research what this Skill Imparting was all about.

【Imparted Skills Recorded】: Low-level Self-Healing, Energy Ball.

【Low-level Self-Healing Unlock Requirements】:

1. The subject to be taught must possess relevant self-healing and recovery abilities.

2. Energy Value reaches 100.

The requirements for Low-level Self-Healing were quite reasonable; Sprout Beast fully met them, so its inclusion was very normal.

However, Sprout Beast could not meet the requirements for Energy Ball at all, yet it could still be recorded, which made Li Wen a bit curious.

【Energy Ball Unlock Requirements】:

1. Energy Value reaches 300.

2. Energy compression rate reaches 150%.

Sprout Beast didn't meet either of these two conditions. After some thought, Li Wen roughly understood where the problem lay.

He could only record a Skill if Sprout Beast had the potential to learn it.

Therefore, three conclusions could be drawn:

1. Conditions can be divided into special conditions and ordinary conditions.

2. Ordinary conditions are universal attributes and do not affect Skill recording.

3. Special conditions must be met for a Skill to be recorded.

So, the more universal a Skill was, the lower the difficulty for him to record it. Theoretically, he could use more Skills to forge his pet into an all-purpose pet.

What he currently lacked was the number of recorded Skills, as well as the knowledge points needed to unlock Skills.

In other words, his primary task now was to observe more pet information through the All-Knowing Eye.

Therefore, places with more pets would be more suitable for him now.

It seemed that participating in the Dojo trial was a must.

He wasn't after those few knowledge points; it was mainly because he was a man of his word.

Wait, had he not even considered participating in any trials in the first place?

He took out his phone and typed "Evergreen Dojo trial event."

"Ah, there it is. The date is five days from now."

"Senior sister's family is quite business-savvy to host the event at this time."

In the first week after school started, the Beastmaster class was in a relaxed state. Unlike regular classes, they didn't have to attend lessons; this period was for students to bond with their pets.

There were almost no greenhorns like Li Wen who trained directly. For example, Li Muyun's Little Spring Spirit was an elemental spirit, which was more spiritual and easier to command.

Li Wen was able to complete the training entirely because Sprout Beast was obedient. If it were the Little Green Worm, even if the contract allowed the Little Green Worm to understand Li Wen's intentions, it probably wouldn't be willing to follow commands.

"Since that's the case, I'll go to the Beastmaster Guild in a couple of days to get my Beastmaster certificate. Not only will it be much more convenient, but there are also subsidies."

"Now, let's give Sprout Beast some relaxation."

【Contracted Pet: Sprout Beast】

【Spiritual Power: 93】

【Mental Power: 20】

【Energy Value: 110】

Mental Power hadn't changed at all from the beginning until now, but the increase in Spiritual Power and Energy Value was significantly greater than the initial training.

Li Wen began to reflect. He had been too lenient with Sprout Beast. Indeed, pushing it to its limits would make it improve faster.

Looking at the remaining knowledge points, he started spending.

【Unlock Successful】

【Low-level Self-Healing (Sprout Beast)】: Rosewood Grass × 10, Rabbit Sand × 5, and 1 knowledge point to complete one Skill Imparting.

"Ah? There's a paid aspect too? Darn it, what a rip-off."

"But now that it's come to this, I'll continue."

Ten minutes later, Li Wen returned home from the material shop near his house again.

This time, the materials were much cheaper than last time. The previous materials were popular professional materials, even including a Tier 2 Fire-attribute Beast Core.

Rosewood Grass, in this world, was no different from weeds; almost no one bought it. According to the information Li Wen found, its only purpose was to suppress excessive appetite.

Because it had neither nutritional value nor was it easy to digest, otherwise, even a snack-like material shop like this wouldn't have it.

Rabbit Sand was not a luxury either; its main function was merely to help rabbit-type pets digest.

So, Li Wen immediately exchanged all his remaining money for a set of materials, preparing to go all-in and try it.

If it didn't work, he would just have to wait until tomorrow to get his Beastmaster certification and claim the subsidy.

"Success or failure depends on this one attempt."

【Confirm Impart】

【Imparting Skill...】

【Please Wait】

【Remaining Time】: 00:29:56

Sprout Beast, who was originally lying on the sofa watching TV with the Little Green Worm, suddenly glowed all over, but it wasn't as intensely energetic as last time.

It was even somewhat gentle. Sprout Beast felt warm and cozy, gradually falling asleep comfortably.

Seeing Sprout Beast Enter Dream, Li Wen was relieved. At least this Skill Imparting didn't seem risky.

Although it did cost knowledge points, the process was more worry-free than the evolution ritual, feeling somewhat like a managed service.

It also confirmed the saying, "You get what you pay for."

After feeding the Little Green Worm, there was nothing else he needed to worry about in the house.

He could now begin the exciting "drawing" segment, which was actually the evolution path that had remained unlocked.

After Li Wen did another search online, he had already learned about some of the forms on the path, thus gaining a more complete path.

【Evolution Path ① 5 knowledge points】 Sprout Beast — Flower Bud Dancer — Flower Skirt Queen

【Evolution Path ② 15 knowledge points】 Sprout Beast — Ancient Tree — Life Tree King

【Evolution Path [Special] 15 knowledge points】 Sprout Beast (Aberrant Type) — ??? (5 knowledge points to unlock Stage Two)

Path ② was only unlocked now mainly because this path involved knowledge points not typically covered by high school or even Beginner Breeders.

The difficulty of its evolution was not something an ordinary high school student or Breeder could achieve.

And under these conditions, the third path hadn't even been discovered.

So, Li Wen could only pray that the evolution conditions for the third path wouldn't be too harsh, otherwise, Sprout Beast would most likely not be able to complete its evolution before the College Entrance Examination.

【Evolution Path [Special] 10 knowledge points】 Sprout Beast (Aberrant Type) — Dual-Bladed Warrior — ??? (30 knowledge points to unlock Stage Three)

Good heavens, it's still installment payments. So, 10 knowledge points only cover the Stage Two evolution plan.

[Dual-Bladed Warrior]: The Sprout Beast evolves from its adorable quadrupedal form to a bipedal stance. Its two front limbs are adorned with sharp leaves, possessing extremely high combat intelligence and speed.

Upon seeing this descriptive information, Li Wen's evaluation was a single word: cool.

"Unlock."

【Spiritual Power: 500】
