49: Chapter 49 What did you say?! You want to take the advanced class assessment?!
[species]: Sky-Swallowing Rabbit
[Attribute]: dark attribute
[Realm]: Black Iron Third Tier
[Aptitude]: Gold Low Rank
[Innate Talent Skill]: Rabbit Leg Kick (Common), Rapid Leap (Rare)
[Special Innate Talent Skill]: Devour (Awakened). Can Devour and absorb the power essence of other attributes to rapidly increase its own strength, obtain the characteristics of that attribute, and awaken new attribute skills.
[evolution path]: Can evolve twice: Through one evolution, it evolves into the Sky Swallowing Divine Rabbit, diamond rank peak Aptitude; through two evolutions, it evolves into the Moon-Swallowing Divine Rabbit, eclipsing moon Rank Peak Aptitude.
Seeing the information from the Entry Manifestation.
Jiang Yun's gaze instantly fell upon the special Innate Talent Skill.
"Devour attribute... Awakening new skills?"
Jiang Yun took a deep breath: "Just as described in the Entry Manifestation information, after absorbing enough dark attribute power, the Sky-Swallowing Rabbit's special skill, Devour... has awakened."
"With this Devour skill, the speed at which the Sky-Swallowing Rabbit's Realm increases will surely improve. I wonder if its Aptitude will change in the Late Stage because of this skill's operation?"
Jiang Yun thought to himself.
He also began to look forward to the Sky-Swallowing Rabbit's future.
This Innate potential would be considered top-tier among most tamed beasts.
However, there was still a gap compared to those with Innate potential like the Fire Dragon Fish and Little Cloud Sparrow.
Even so, Little Blacky would likely become a powerful tamed beast with multiple attributes and an extremely rich variety of skills in the future.
At the same time, a massive question and intense curiosity arose in Jiang Yun's heart.
After devouring Spirit Stones of different attributes...
In what way would the attributes be born?
And what wonderful new skills would be produced?
Thinking of this...
Jiang Yun immediately took out over a hundred aqua-blue water attribute spirit stones that emitted soft fluctuations from his storage ring and handed them to his sister, Jiang Yunyun.
"Yunyun, your Sky-Swallowing Rabbit should have gained a different kind of ability now. It should be able to eat Spirit Stones of other attributes. Give these to Little Blacky and see if it likes them."
"A special ability? It can eat Spirit Stones of other attributes now!?"
"Wow! Really, Brother? Thank you, Brother!"
Although Jiang Yunyun didn't understand what her brother meant, she happily took them and fed them to Little Blacky one by one.
After all, in her heart...
Her brother would never harm her.
It seemed that due to the Awakening of the Devour skill...
The Sky-Swallowing Rabbit became exceptionally interested in the energy of the water attribute spirit stones. Its little nose twitched, and it quickly devoured all hundred-plus Spirit Stones.
After finishing, it looked at Jiang Yunyun again.
Clearly, it hadn't had enough.
Jiang Yunyun understood, patted the Sky-Swallowing Rabbit's head, and took out many more dark attribute Spirit Stones to feed it.
Only after eating another fifty or sixty dark attribute Spirit Stones...
...did it contentedly nuzzle Jiang Yunyun's palm. Then, a faint black halo appeared around its body, and it yawned, looking somewhat drowsy.
"Brother, Little Blacky seems to want to sleep again."
Jiang Yunyun said, stroking the Sky-Swallowing Rabbit's head.
"Mm, let it go back to the Beast Taming Space to absorb it properly."
Jiang Yun felt expectant.
What kind of changes would happen to the Sky-Swallowing Rabbit after eating these water attribute spirit stones?
...Days passed one by one.
Jiang Yun's life was regular and fulfilling.
During the day, he conducted basic courses and beast taming course training at school.
Because it was already Common knowledge in the Rookie Class that Jiang Yun's tamed beast had reached the Black Iron Sixth Tier...
Coach Lin was also urging Jiang Yun to quickly take the Intermediate Class assessment and start Intermediate Class training.
To this...
Jiang Yun declined, using the excuse that his tamed beast was Cultivating and hadn't woken up yet.
How could Coach Lin know?
Jiang Yun had no intention of taking any Intermediate Class assessment.
Instead, he was waiting for Little Cloud Sparrow to wake up and Breakthrough to the Black Iron Eighth Tier this time, so he could directly take the Advanced Class assessment.
At night, Jiang Yun would return home and closely monitor the situation of his two tamed beasts.
The next morning, a crisp cry rang out in the room.
Little Cloud Sparrow woke up. The electric arcs surrounding its body were more solid and sharp, and its aura had significantly strengthened.
Upon checking...
Its Realm had gone from the Black Iron Fifth Tier to the black iron seventh tier.
Jiang Yun nodded in satisfaction.
"black iron seventh tier. At this rate, the next time Little Cloud Sparrow wakes up, it will definitely be at the Black Iron Eighth Tier or higher."
Jiang Yun smiled.
So, he immediately began feeding.
This time, Little Cloud Sparrow absorbed over 350 thunder attribute spirit stones. Its appetite had increased slightly from last time, but it was still within an acceptable range.
"At this rate, perhaps the thunder attribute spirit stones I have will be enough for Little Cloud Sparrow to charge toward the Bronze Rank."
After finishing feeding Little Cloud Sparrow...
He glanced at the Fire Dragon Fish, which was still absorbing and refining.
Jiang Yun then went to school with peace of mind.
Until the afternoon...
When he returned home after school...
Jiang Yun immediately felt a scorching and powerful aura permeating the room.
The Fire Dragon Fish had also woken up!
Its massive body was coiled in a corner of the room. Its crimson scales looked like burning flames, flowing with a lava-like luster. The Dragon's might it emitted was heavier and more solid than before.
Jiang Yun impatiently checked its status.
Other information remained unchanged.
Its Realm had increased from Bronze First Tier to the Bronze Second Tier Peak.
"It only promoted by one tier?"
Jiang Yun was slightly stunned. Although he had been mentally prepared, he still couldn't help but click his tongue at the result.
After piling up over three thousand water and fire spirit stones, it only pushed from Bronze First Tier to the Second Tier Peak, just one step away from the Third Tier.
This consumption speed was terrifying!
He glanced at his storage ring. There were fewer than three thousand Spirit Stones left inside. Given this appetite, it probably wouldn't be enough for the Fire Dragon Fish's next "meal."
"It seems I need to go buy more Spirit Stones."
Jiang Yun made an immediate decision, left the house, and headed to the Beast Taming Mall again.
Finding Liu Mei, Jiang Yun spoke directly: "Manager Liu, give me ten thousand water and fire dual-attribute spirit stones."
Liu Mei's eyes widened when she heard this quantity.
The smile on her face was incredibly warm: "Alright, alright! Mr. Jiang, please wait a moment, I'll prepare them for you immediately!"
She was secretly shocked. This young customer's consumption rate was simply appalling. Could he be raising a whole bunch of tamed beasts?
His wealth and background must be unfathomable.
Soon, the ten thousand Spirit Stones were ready.
The total price was ten million federal currency.
Jiang Yun paid with his card expressionlessly. Listening to the deduction notification from the terminal, his heart was bleeding.
Fortunately, the 12 million from the auction of that earth attribute evolution material had just arrived, which happened to cover this massive expense. But because of this, his total assets had shrunk drastically, leaving only around 16 million federal currency.
Jiang Yun felt a pang of distress.
"The speed of making money can never keep up with the speed at which Little Fire burns through it."
Jiang Yun smiled bitterly in his heart, his pressure suddenly increasing.
He realized that with the Fire Dragon Fish's Heaven-Defying Aptitude and bottomless appetite, this "huge sum" in his hands couldn't even support a few more meals.
He had to find a more efficient way to obtain resources as soon as possible.
Returning home, Jiang Yun immediately began feeding.
Sure enough, after its strength increased, the Fire Dragon Fish's appetite surged again. It devoured nearly four thousand Spirit Stones in one go before stopping contentedly, then fell back into a deep sleep to continue digesting that majestic energy.
Jiang Yun looked at the storage ring, which had become mostly empty again, and shook his head helplessly... Another two days passed.
Chiuβ!
A clearer cry, carrying a faint sound of wind and thunder, rang out.
Inside the storage space...
Lightning flashed all around Little Cloud Sparrow, and its aura climbed steadily, finally stabilizing at a new height!
Black Iron Eighth Tier!
"Good!"
A joyful smile finally appeared on Jiang Yun's face.
Little Cloud Sparrow's growth rate was very stable. With Amethyst Rank Peak Aptitude and an Ancient Bloodline, its combat power would surely be like Little Fire's, far exceeding those of the same tier.
It was enough to become a powerful combat force for him on the surface.
Now, as the time for the city-level selection competition drew closer, he already possessed the qualifications to take the Advanced Class assessment. It was time to apply for it.
Early the next morning...
Jiang Yun went straight to Coach Lin's office.
"Coach Lin, I want to apply to take the Advanced Class assessment."
Jiang Yun got straight to the point, his tone calm but carrying an unquestionable confidence.
Coach Lin was drinking tea. Hearing this, he jerked his head up, nearly spitting out his tea. His eyes widened like copper bells, and his face was filled with disbelief.
"Jiang Yun! You... what did you say? You want to take the Advanced Class assessment?!!"
