57: Ice Penguin Evolution

Suddenly, Lin Shu thought that after Dark Night evolved, it would also be of Lord quality. He wondered if he could handle it.

"Principal, after my contracted beast evolves to Lord quality, will my Mental strength be able to bear it?"

Hearing Lin Shu's question, Pei Yuanfang was a little surprised. Was he planning to evolve so soon?

Gu Li must have provided a lot of help, and their Gu family did indeed have the subsequent evolution paths for Shadow Mantis.

This explained why Lin Shu asked such a question, and he answered without hesitation.

"If it's an initial beast evolving to Lord-tier, then the requirements aren't that high."

"Your Mental strength only needs to reach second-tier to control it."

"By the way, Xiao Lin, what stage has your Mental strength reached?"

Hearing Pei Yuanfang's explanation, Lin Shu felt relieved. Fortunately, this condition wasn't too high, otherwise Dark Night's evolution would have to be delayed for a while longer.

He opened his panel to check; he hadn't looked at his Mental growth in a long time.

【Name】: Lin Shu

【Status】: Healthy

【Mental】: 155

【Talent】: Mirror Flower, Water Moon - Beginner (132/200)

【Beasts】: Shadow Mantis (Dark Night), Mountain Rock Golem (Earth Splendor)

【Techniques】: Basic Soul Refining Art - Proficient (221/480), Wild Goose Feather Blade Art - Minor Accomplishment (15/60), Damage Transfer - Minor Accomplishment (11/100)

His Mental strength was currently only 155 points, still a considerable gap from the second-tier's 300 points. He hadn't used any Mental strength-increasing potions recently, which had slowed down the speed quite a bit, but it wasn't a big deal. 145 points of proficiency wasn't too much, and he could just add points when the time came.

"Still some distance to go, should reach second-tier within a month."

Lin Shu still spoke a bit conservatively.

"Hmm, not bad, the speed is acceptable."

"Later, go and get some Mental Stimulation Potions. Relying solely on Talent isn't enough; some external assistance is still needed."

"That way, the improvement speed will be faster."

Pei Yuanfang was very satisfied with this speed.

"Thank you for your care, Principal."

Having Mental Stimulation Potions as assistance was, of course, better. For Lin Shu, he still wanted to use his proficiency on Dark Night.

"Alright, then when your Mental strength reaches second-tier, come find me."

"I'll take you to choose your spiritual objects; they are all ready for you."

"I understand, Principal."

Looking at Lin Shu, Pei Yuanfang grew increasingly satisfied, but it was a pity that such an excellent student wouldn't be able to stay in school for much longer.

Then they chatted about other things, and only then did Lin Shu leave the principal's office.

Neither of them discussed anything about university.

Lin Shu then went downstairs to collect twenty bottles of Mental Stimulation Potions.

He found an empty spot to put the items into his storage space, then immediately returned to the school team area.

Today was not only the monthly exam but also Chu Xin's planned evolution day.

Lin Shu had also gathered a lot of key information from everyone's discussions about evolution.

In the past month or so, her beast had already reached level 25, meeting the minimum evolution standard.

So, during this time, she had been collecting the materials needed for her beast's evolution.

With the school's and her own efforts, all the materials were ready, and she couldn't wait to start.

These materials encompassed many things, such as spiritual objects, which could not only accelerate the beast's level increase but also become one of the items needed for the beast's evolution. Additionally, some high-level beast organs were also considered evolution materials.

The materials required for each beast's evolution were different; some required evolution in different locations.

For example, in volcanoes, oceans, and other places that matched their attributes.

Then there was time; some required the moon to appear at night, while others needed the sun in the morning. These were relatively common occurrences in evolution.

Just follow the evolution path step by step, but the success rate of evolution could not be guaranteed.

Generally speaking, the chance was quite high, a five-tenths probability of success, but it also varied from person to person. This was just an average, and the beast itself also played a sufficiently large role.

Arriving at the school team's area, he entered the equipment room.

He found that everyone had stopped training and was standing by, watching Chu Xin perform the evolution steps.

Chu Xin's beast was an Ice Snow Penguin, with a red ribbon tied around its head, waving its chubby little hands and patting its round, soft belly, making "pat pat" sounds.

Evidently, the Ice Snow Penguin, having learned of its impending evolution, was also very excited.

At this moment, Chu Xin had no time to pay attention to it. She was currently making the final preparations for the evolution ritual.

The others, seeing Lin Shu enter, their eyes lit up, and they quickly pulled him over. They had obviously already heard the news of Lin Shu's beast reaching level 21, which showed how fast the news spread.

"You're really amazing. I remember I was almost in Second Year when I reached level 21."

"Exactly, Junior, you'll probably be a main player on the school team in another half a year."

"That's incredible, too bad we don't have the fortune to team up with Junior, otherwise, this championship would be ours for the taking."

Lei Wu said with an admiring tone, and Chen Yujia and Li Shuheng agreed.

"Hehe, I can still be teammates with Brother Lin for a while."

Gao Feng was only in Second Year, so theoretically, he was right.

"You lucky dog!"

The others said.

"Brother Lin and I are both in First Year, and I'm only level 14 now. The gap is too big."

Min Hu's tone carried a hint of melancholy. They were from the same batch, but he was simply too outstanding.

Lin Shu humbly shook his head, casually chatting with everyone about this topic.

On the other side, Xu Lihuang and Gu Zhenbang were also helping out; otherwise, it would have been quite troublesome for her alone.

After everyone finished discussing Lin Shu, they watched the scene with great interest, especially the reserve members, who found it particularly novel.

One by one, third-tier ice-type beast cores were put into a blender and crushed, then poured into a small bowl.

A core is a central part that stores energy within a beast once it reaches the third-tier.

Then, ice-shaped spiritual objects were taken out, crushed, and added to the small bowl, then stirred evenly.

The inside of the small bowl was filled with a sky-blue liquid, and wisps of cold light emerged from the bowl, causing the indoor temperature to drop significantly.

This was all that was needed for the Ice Snow Penguin's evolution, as it was only evolving to Perfect quality, so the difficulty naturally wouldn't be too high.

"Little Fatty, come here."

Chu Xin called out to the Ice Snow Penguin.

It waddled its round body over, its face full of smiles.

She then held out the bowl of carefully prepared ingredients to the Ice Snow Penguin's hands.

"Drink it, then hold on for an hour to digest the energy, and you can evolve."

"You must persevere!"

"As long as you persevere, you will succeed!"

Chu Xin began to admonish the Ice Snow Penguin. She was most afraid that the Little Fatty wouldn't be able to endure the pain, leading to a failed evolution... (Thank you all for the gifts, and the issues in the comments have been corrected. Thank you for your support.)
