79: The King's Three Generals

It was just a few simple “greetings,” but unexpectedly, the atmosphere of the exchange quickly warmed up and became extraordinarily lively.

Elders seem to always harbor an irrepressible fondness for the juniors they favor, always keen to boast endlessly about their various achievements.

Just as Grandmaster Mo was pouring out his achievements and knowledge in various fields like a machine gun, the data representing knowledge points on Li Wen's panel soared.

And Li Wen, for his part, listened to every word of Grandmaster Mo, his face occasionally showing expressions of joy and admiration, quite content.

Time passed imperceptibly, and Li Wen originally thought that today would pass by so easily, happily, and fruitfully.

However, as he packed his things and prepared to embark on his journey home, his peripheral vision inadvertently caught sight of something astonishing and completely beyond imagination... 【Mystic Water Crane】

【attribute: Water/Ice】

【Race: King-Level Advanced】

【growth level: Monarch Limit】

【Energy Value: ???】

【trait ①: Water Dance】: The Mystic Water Crane is naturally gifted with the ability to control water elements. Originally only able to store water elements in its wings, it can now spread them throughout its entire body, and amplify various aspects of the water element environment.

【trait ②: Condense Water into Ice】 As a special ability of the Mystic Water Crane, all Water Skills can be transformed into another Ice Skill.

(PS: Skills? I have two sets of these.)

【Skill ①: Submerge】 The Mystic Water Crane possesses excellent diving ability, capable of easily submerging into the deep sea. Whether for underwater reconnaissance or rapid movement, it is adept.

【Skill ②: Water Wave Escape】 Possessing the ability to control water, in emergencies, the Mystic Water Crane can instantly accelerate and use the power of water waves for instantaneous movement, almost to an uncatchable degree, while enhancing body flexibility, making dodging attacks more fluid.

【Skill ③: Water Arrow Spray】 The Mystic Water Crane can condense water elements to form powerful water arrows, attacking enemies from a distance. The water arrows are fast and powerful, making them an effective means of combat in water.

【Skill ④: Water Tornado】 When the Mystic Water Crane reaches specific conditions, it can summon a small water tornado. The water tornado contains countless water droplets, causing continuous damage to surrounding enemies and putting them in a state of confusion.

【Skill ⑤: Water Feather Domain】 Under specific circumstances, the Water Feather Domain can be activated. Within this domain, all water elements remaining on the field after using Water Skills will form water feathers, greatly increasing the Mystic Water Crane's Skill damage... 【Advanced Evolution】

① Primordial Water Mystic Crane 【Yin-Yang Path】 (200 knowledge points)

② Grand Supreme Azure Crane 【Extreme Intent Path】 (200 knowledge points)

③ Gigantic Mystic Water Crane 【Gigantification Path】 (100 knowledge points)

...Li Wen saw the extraordinary evolution information about the 【Mystic Water Crane】 in the illustrated guide and instantly had a face full of questions.

According to common sense, pet beast evolution forms are usually strictly defined within one to three stages, yet this third-stage 【Mystic Water Crane】 could still continue to evolve.

Not to mention the unknown evolution forms, just hearing such fantastical names as 【Yin-Yang Path】 and 【Extreme Intent Path】 was enough to astound people.

These names not only differed greatly from the conventional naming in the beast-taming world but were closer to the mysterious settings in xianxia novels. In contrast, 【Gigantification Path】 seemed a bit low-level.

Considering the severe knowledge point expenditure, Li Wen ultimately decided to consult Grandmaster Mo.

“Grandmaster Mo, what is advanced evolution? Don’t pet beasts usually only have three stages of evolution?”

Grandmaster Mo's mood involuntarily brightened when he heard the change in Li Wen's address, but when he heard the term “advanced evolution,” his expression instantly became subtle, as if this term touched a sensitive point in his heart.

“Lin Yan, he even let you come into contact with this level of thing in advance?”

Li Wen responded.

“No, I just happened to hear my teacher mention this term.”

“So, I was a bit curious.”

Grandmaster Mo's expression returned to normal, and he said as a matter of course.

“That’s good. If he let you come into contact with this thing in advance, he would be completely harming you.”

“Advanced evolution refers to breaking through racial limitations, but this is research on breaking through the limitations of Overlord races.”

“Not only are there infinitely many possibilities, but because of this, the difficulty is also completely different from what came before.”

“So, it’s better if you don’t understand this thing for now.”

Seeing Grandmaster Mo's firm attitude, Li Wen gave up the idea of continuing to inquire and said.

“Okay, Grandmaster Mo, I won’t dwell on this anymore. I’ll improve myself first, and then learn about these things later.”

Grandmaster Mo also felt greatly relieved after hearing this.

After parting ways, Li Wen stayed overnight at a guesthouse near Frost Lake.

He had originally planned to stay here for a few more days after the mission ended, but things went unexpectedly smoothly, so Li Wen could return early... The next day, the first thing he did upon returning home was definitely to check how the “ecological simulation” experiment in the Secret Realm Space was progressing.

Upon entering the Secret Realm, he saw that the Mutated Ice Slime’s state had returned to normal and it could move freely.

As for who healed it, of course, it was the omnipotent Mind Emperor. Li Wen just told him that this was the teammate he found for it.

Mind Emperor proactively switched to another form and began to heal it, then fed it many star peaches.

Its condition immediately recovered, and then it directly became one of the workhorses, being pulled by Mind Emperor to play games.

As long as there was one operational error, it would receive a beating from Mind Emperor, which made Li Wen admire his own quick thinking in refusing the invitation at the time.

The Mutated Ice Slime, which had just received treatment, still maintained its wild and untamed nature, often disobeying Yuan Wang’s “discipline” within the Slime Clan.

It seemed reasonable, after all, who would obey a weaker being, but sometimes one needs to pay attention to others' backgrounds.

As expected, it was disciplined a few times by Mind Emperor, who was even more terrifying than Ya Bao, and then it became docile, completely becoming a part of this Slime Clan.

Now, from a certain perspective, it could also be considered a part of Yuan Wang, although from various perspectives, it was not legal.

After a night of cultivating ordinary Slimes with star peaches, Yuan Wang increased the Slime Clan from 100 to 200.

Coupled with the Mutated Ice Slime’s 800, after the Slime Clan value reached 1000, a method of legalization also appeared.

The Skill level and proficiency of Leaders Aura did not increase, but it provided Yuan Wang with a new Skill—【King's Guard】.

Li Wen: My goodness, the King’s “Three Admirals,” is that you, Aokiji?
