102: Qingyou Grass Evolution
The competition ended, and Luo Yang successfully advanced to the match three days later.
Luo Chen's mental consciousness then left the Illusion World and returned to reality.
In reality, on the second floor of Chenyang Pet Store.
Luo Chen opened his eyes and saw the excited Chi Yan, Luo Yang who was trying to act calm, and the Nightshade Dark Spirit Bird behind them, looking a bit out of place in the store.
Looking at their excited expressions, Luo Chen pointed to the Skill Simulation Room next to him and said in a faint tone:
"Why don't you two go in and calm down?"
As expected, Luo Chen's threat worked. Not only Luo Yang, but Chi Yan immediately quieted down.
Who knew what kind of days they had been living? The Skill Simulation Room was definitely the place they spent the most time in these past few days.
Although their growth was fast, the Skill intensity simulated by the Skill Simulation Room seemed to have no upper limit, always being a bit stronger than them.
This led to them constantly being in a passive, beaten State.
"Brother, we just had a competition today, and my mental energy consumption is a bit high. How about we rest for a day?"
Luo Yang timidly offered his suggestion.
Luo Chen saw that he did look a bit listless and nodded, agreeing to his proposal.
"Alright, you can arrange your day yourself today."
Luo Yang gave Luo Chen an OK gesture and put away the two Beast Masters beside him, "Okay, Brother, then I'll head out for a bit today."
Hearing the 'thump-thump-thump' sound of him going down the stairs, Luo Chen smiled helplessly.
He wondered what that kid was so eager to do.
Since Luo Yang wasn't training for now, Luo Chen left the breeding room, selected some materials from the warehouse, and went to the Qingyou Secret Realm.
Three Azure Nether Grass had already reached the Evolution standard, and Luo Chen planned to Evolve them today.
The main reason was that Nether System materials were very difficult to find here, so their Evolution had been delayed for a long time.
Luo Chen took out a total of three materials: a segment of black hair that twisted constantly as if alive, a pitch-black energy stone, and a palm-sized leaf with strange patterns.
The names of these three materials were, respectively, the black hair of a Tier 2 spirit creature, the Black-Haired Banshee; a Nether System energy stone; and the leaf of the Ghost Leaf Grass.
Following a specific method, Luo Chen divided the essence of the three required materials into three equal portions.
Each portion was then integrated into the soil where one of the three Azure Nether Grass was growing.
The performance of the three Azure Nether Grass was largely similar; their surfaces first emitted a faint, emerald green light.
Then, pitch-black patterns formed on their broad, sword-lily-like leaves, and even stranger, these patterns seemed to possess life.
They constantly twisted and changed their shapes, making the scene slightly eerie.
While waiting for the Azure Nether Grass to Evolve, Luo Chen directly turned his attention to the current situation of his other Beast Masters.
The Golden Rich Koi was still in the small spirit pond Luo Chen had specially prepared for it. It had not disappointed Luo Chen's care and had now reached the Rank of Spirit Beast Three Stars.
Relatively speaking, its Rank advancement was quite fast, but Luo Chen still hadn't discovered its Evolution form. After it became a Spirit Beast, its information showed a few more Skills.
race: Golden Rich Koi
Rank: Spirit Beast Three Stars
Type: Gold Type, Water Type
State: At ease, leisurely, growing rapidly
Aptitude: Good
Skills: 1. Golden Armor (Profound Rank): The Golden Rich Koi attaches a protective armor to itself or a target.
2. Golden Bloodline (Earth Rank): Owners of the Golden Bloodline can actively imbue metal with spirituality. The enlightened metal will directly become a subordinate of the enchanter. The amount of metal that can be controlled is related to the Golden Rich Koi's mental power and Rank.
3. Water Arrow (Yellow Rank): Compresses water elements to high intensity to form a Water Arrow, attacking targets within a suitable range.
4. Torrent (Profound Rank): Changes the flow rate of a body of water.
5. Bubble (Profound Rank): The Golden Rich Koi spits out a giant Bubble. This Bubble allows non-aquatic creatures to breathe normally underwater.
6. Golden Tail (Profound Rank): The Golden Rich Koi's tail, composed of various metal elements it has touched, is extremely hard. When needed, it can serve not only as an offensive weapon but also as a defensive shield.
Evolution Path: Not yet unlocked.
As expected, Luo Chen still didn't see the Golden Rich Koi's Evolution Path.
However, the Golden Rich Koi's size had already grown too much; the small pond originally dug for it now seemed a bit cramped.
It was time to move it to the Stone Spirit Secret Realm to live, after all, the space there was large enough to dig a bigger pond for it, and there was ready-made labor.
The Thousand Tribulation Beast egg was still the same, placed beside the pond like a strangely shaped stone.
Because it was hard enough, no Beast Master would provoke this egg.
Luo Chen glanced at it twice, found it was still the same, and didn't pay any more attention to it.
He turned to look at the other Beast Masters kept in the Secret Realm. Even without Luo Chen's special cultivation, their Rank grew rapidly in the energy-rich environment of the Secret Realm.
Coupled with the daily provision of spiritual spring water for them to drink, their realms also rapidly increased, many having reached a bottleneck State, which is the Rank of Fierce Beast Nine Stars.
The next step would either be for them to break through the bottleneck themselves, either Evolving or normally breaking through to the Rank of Spirit Beast.
Or, with the help of Luo Chen, the Breeder, they could become more powerful race Beast Masters through different Evolution Paths.
Luo Chen found that the condition limiting his ability usage was actually the speed of material collection.
Luo Chen returned after a round, and the Azure Nether Grass had already finished Evolving.
Its current appearance was a bit strange; its originally broad leaves seemed to have been cut in half, becoming slender.
Adding to that, there were some tiny black runes flowing on them. At first glance at this plant, it was easy to think of it as some kind of moving insect.
At second glance, it looked like someone's hair had been thrown on the ground.
Only at the third glance would one think, 'What the hell, there's such a strange plant?'
race: Ghost Hair Rune Grass
Rank: Spirit Beast One Star
Type: Nether System, Wood Type · Grass
State: Adapting
Aptitude: Excellent
Skills: 1. Lash (Yellow Rank): The Ghost Hair Rune Grass uses its tough, slender leaves to whip the target.
2. Nether Phosphor (Profound Rank): The Ghost Hair Rune Grass's leaves are covered with phosphor powder. This phosphor powder, when attached to the target's body, continuously invades with Nether Qi, producing negative effects on the target (corroding the body, consuming energy).
3. Strangling (Profound Rank): The Ghost Hair Rune Grass's branches and leaves continuously extend, targeting the opponent's body. The thin yet tough branches can easily tear through the target's skin and flesh.
4. Rune Curse (Earth Rank): The Ghost Hair Rune Grass will brand the runes on its branches and leaves onto the surface of any contacted target. If not dispelled, this curse will invade the target's flesh until it reaches the target's spirit. The effects of this curse are a decrease in mental activity and a halving of the maximum energy contained within the body.
Evolution Path: Not yet unlocked.
Seeing the current information of the Azure Nether Grass, Luo Chen couldn't help but palm his forehead. Had he Evolved a rather dark Beast Master?
It seemed like this Type of curse Skill was standard for villains.
However, Beast Master Skills cannot be simply defined as good or evil, as it largely depends on the Beast Master using them.
In any case, this Skill was very powerful. Luo Chen was confident that if this Beast Master appeared on the market, it would certainly be sought after, even if it was currently a non-moving plant-Type Beast Master.
It only needed to pay some price to find a Breeder to learn the Skill 'Rooting,' which would largely offset this shortcoming.
Rooting (Profound Rank): Plant-Type Beast Masters can take root and grow in suitable soil in a very short time.
As long as this Skill is learned, a Beast Master can completely recall a plant-Type Beast Master into their bracelet.
And then summon it during battle to fight for them.
Luo Chen watered them with some spiritual spring water, having already decided that two of them would be goods for the next opening of Chenyang Pet Store.
