122: Reverse Mentoring

You know, only those experienced Intermediate Breeders are capable of fully formulating evolution plans.

And for a task like researching a completely new evolutionary form, its difficulty is imaginable!

Teacher Yang looked at Li Wen in front of him, his heart filled with doubt and worry.

He highly doubted whether this young man truly had enough ability to undertake these tasks.

After all, generally speaking, those who could achieve this would at least need to be people who had passed strict assessments and obtained Intermediate Breeder qualification certification.

But then he thought, perhaps Li Wen was just too busy with other matters and hadn't found time to take the Intermediate Breeder exam?

At the moment, there was an urgent need for people, and despite many uncertainties in his heart, after careful deliberation, Teacher Yang finally gritted his teeth and made a decision.

He would temporarily keep Li Wen to see how he performs.

Of course, if it turns out that Li Wen truly cannot provide effective help, then he will only be paid according to the lowest standard agreed upon earlier.

"Alright then, you can stay here for now. Today, we plan to try and perform evolution operations on two of the Demon Dogs first."

Teacher Yang said, pointing to several large, fierce-looking Demon Dogs caged not far away.

Then, he added.

"Just recently, I finally managed to successfully breed most of the Evil Dogs, which were originally in a normal state, along evolutionary path ② into their current Demon Dog form, and brought them all to a stage where they can evolve again."

"Therefore, we're going to be very busy next, and I hope you can understand this."

This way of speaking was too polite; after getting used to a scoundrel like Teacher Lin Yan, it was suddenly a bit unaccustomed.

Regarding what Teacher Yang said, Li Wen showed a faint smile on his face, only able to express.

"Originally, it would indeed be very busy. However, since I'm already here now, solving this problem is simply a piece of cake, something that can be completed in minutes!"

Then, he patted his chest and assured Teacher Yang.

"Don't worry, it's no problem. I'll come over to help every day during this period."

However, although Li Wen spoke confidently, he actually had another plan in mind.

He thought to himself, he should first give Teacher Yang three days to explore on his own. After all, the part about metal types in his thesis had already been made public.

The work that needed to be done next was merely to make appropriate adjustments to the ratios between various metals.

Furthermore, if one saw a creature like the Demon Dog, a normal person should easily associate it with the similar Death Scythe.

However, the subsequent development of events was completely different from Li Wen's initial expectations.

On the first day of formal attempts, the situation was not optimistic.

Not to mention what shape the armed components would ultimately be made into, even the proportions between the various metals were incorrect.

However, upon closer thought, it was still somewhat understandable, after all, it was only the first day, and some mistakes were inevitable.

And fortunately, the current "armed evolution" process has not had any adverse effects on the pet beast itself.

The reason is that they haven't absorbed much of the relevant substances at all, so if there's a reaction, it means success, and if there's no reaction, it means failure, which is clear at a glance.

On the second and third days, Li Wen always took the opportunity to help others and secretly adjusted the metal components according to the correct proportions he had mastered.

Sure enough, once this change was completed, the Demon Dog suddenly showed an extremely abnormal and excited state.

However, someone like Teacher Yang, who had already entered middle age, seemed to be lacking in imagination.

Despite seeing such obvious changes in the Demon Dog, he only understood that the ratio was correct.

Yet, he consistently failed to think about the problem in a direction related to the Grim Reaper.

Instead, Teacher Yang tried to make the Demon Dog's "armed metal" appear in various forms.

Sometimes, it would be entirely covered in a thick layer of armor.

Other times, it would transform into the appearance of a skeleton.

And sometimes, it would be fitted with a sturdy dog chain.

Once, Teacher Yang even tried to make the metal imitate the large and sharp long sword in Inuyasha's hand.

It must be said that this evolutionary form was indeed not something that normal thinking could imagine.

Faced with this situation, Li Wen, who could no longer bear it, finally decided to confront Teacher Yang.

So, Li Wen walked up to Teacher Yang and said.

"Teacher, you see, this Demon Dog originally possesses the attribute of psychic power, so I was wondering, could this so-called armed evolution actually just be a way of evolving to stimulate a specific spiritual symbol?"

Upon hearing these words, Teacher Yang's face revealed a look of utter disbelief, and he immediately asked.

"What? Do you also understand these things?"

Judging from his reaction, he clearly did not understand the implication in Li Wen's words.

Helplessly, he said.

"Teacher, the source of your research topic is a thesis, isn't it?"

"That's right, have you read it too?"

"No, with your Breeder level, you shouldn't have access yet."

Li Wen took out his temporary student ID and explained.

"The name signed on that article and my name are not merely the same; I am the author myself."

"This is also why I accepted your task, Teacher."

"Now, I already have a clear idea."

Teacher Yang was startled; he had indeed not considered this possibility. When he first read the article, he only felt that the young man was a genius.

Now he had forgotten the Breeder's name, and even if he remembered, he wouldn't have made the connection.

Good heavens, so he came to guide?

Li Wen was not polite and said directly.

"Then for now, let's proceed according to my ideas, is that alright?"
