104: Improvement class?

On August 2nd, Luo Chen had his Azure Smoke Flowing Cloud Crane bring him to the City Lord's Mansion.

Sitting on the two-meter-square cloud, it was soft and comfortable; in terms of comfort, it was truly peerless.

Upon arriving at the entrance of the City Lord's Mansion, a familiar young woman immediately came to greet him. She first looked at the Azure Smoke Flowing Cloud Crane with surprise for a few moments, then respectfully said to Luo Chen:

"Mr. Luo Chen, please follow me."

Luo Chen jumped down from the cloud, his expression relaxed as he asked, "Did City Lord Feng mention why he invited me today?"

The young woman silently shook her head. As she led the way for Luo Chen, she said, "However, Master Chang has also arrived and is currently in the study."

Master Chang? Chang Heng, Qingyang City's currently known Breeder of the highest Rank.

Turning left and right, with the young woman leading the way, no one questioned them along the path.

Soon, they reached their destination.

The young woman pointed to a six-story, blue-and-white building in front of them, "This is it."

In Qingyang City, where three-story buildings were common, a six-story building could indeed be called a tall building.

"This is the City Lord's Mansion's internal library and training room. We are going to the training room on the fourth floor now."

With that, after their identities were confirmed by the guards at the door, the two took the elevator up to the fourth floor.

The two entered the training room with the door number 401. The interior space was very large; just room 401 alone felt like it covered an area of about two thousand square meters.

"Knock, knock, knock."

The young woman knocked on the door. The person who opened it for them was also a familiar face. Luo Chen still remembered his name: Liu Yunjing, the runner-up of the Youth Beast Tamer Competition.

Seeing the familiar face, Luo Chen guessed that the third-place young woman named Jiang Yiyi should also be among those invited.

Liu Yunjing seemed to have expected Luo Chen's arrival. He nodded at Luo Chen expressionlessly, though beneath his calm expression were eyes filled with inquiry and complex emotions.

Then, he stepped aside to make way for Luo Chen to enter the training room.

The young woman escorted Luo Chen to the door and then left on her own accord. Luo Chen waved at her and thanked her.

Entering the training room, Luo Chen indeed saw Jiang Yiyi, Feng Qingyang, and Master Chang Heng in the center of the room.

Luo Chen and Liu Yunjing, one after the other, came to sit beside Jiang Yiyi, facing Chang Heng.

Because the entire training room was empty, without any tables or chairs, all five of them sat on the floor.

Feng Qingyang smiled as he saw Luo Chen arrive as promised.

"I believe you all have some guesses as to why I invited the three of you today.

After all, the three of you participated in the competition under the name of my Qingyang City, so it is only right that my Qingyang City provides some assistance for your competition.

This is also why we held the competition ten days in advance.

In the coming days, Master Chang will teach you content related to Breeders. The necessary materials will be provided by the City Lord's Mansion. I hope you can gain some insights and improvements."

Seeing that the three, with their varied expressions, understood his meaning, Feng Qingyang then said to Luo Chen:

"Luo Chen, even if your father is a Lunar Breeder, you should still listen carefully to Master Chang's lesson. Cross-referencing might lead to even greater gains for you."

??? Luo Chen's face was full of question marks. Did he look like a problem student?

However, Feng Qingyang's intention was good. After all, Luo Chen was the youngest of the three, yet exceptionally talented, surpassing many elders to win the championship.

It was easy for him to develop arrogance, so the verbal admonition was actually for Luo Chen's own good.

Hearing that Luo Chen's father was also a Lunar Breeder, a hint of surprise appeared in Jiang Yiyi's beautiful eyes, while Liu Yunjing's eyes revealed a sense of relief.

Knowing that Feng Qingyang meant well, Luo Chen could only rub his nose and respond, "Understood, City Lord Feng."

Seeing him act 'obedient,' Feng Qingyang finally felt that he now resembled an eighteen-year-old young man who had just come of age. When doing business, he usually seemed quite mature.

Feng Qingyang turned to Chang Heng, "Elder Chang, I'm entrusting these three to you."

Chang Heng waved his hand, as if eager to send Feng Qingyang away, "Just hand them over to me, and remember to send the materials."

"Alright, if you need anything, just arrange it with Little Butterfly."

After speaking, Feng Qingyang left the 401 training room.

After Feng Qingyang left, only Chang Heng, Luo Chen, Liu Yunjing, and Jiang Yiyi remained in the spacious training room.

The scene became quiet for a moment.

Chang Heng looked around and then broke the silence.

"You are all the elites of Qingyang City. I don't believe I can teach you too many useful things.

Sometimes, learning too much can suppress one's talent for exploring the unknown.

In the coming days, we will start by focusing on the Evolution Paths for tamed beasts, as announced by State Elder Zhuang, to train your abilities.

We will strive to enable you to successfully master at least two or more Evolution Paths from Spirit Rank beasts to King Beasts."

There was a significant difference between evolutionary breakthroughs and non-evolutionary breakthroughs.

During the last competition, Liu Yunjing had allowed his Hunting Hound to break through directly into a King Beast without evolving.

However, it was clear that tamed beasts that undergo evolutionary breakthroughs are often much stronger than those that do not, because evolutionary breakthroughs not only result in relatively stronger physical qualities,

but also grant more racial innate Skills. Although Skills can be learned, there are too many restrictions on learning Skills, and those learned later in life will not be as effortlessly used as those that are innate.

"Today, we will attempt to evolve a Spirit Rank nine-star Bone-Spike Spirit Tiger into a King Beast Bone-Blade Tiger King."

After speaking, Chang Heng stood up. It was then that Luo Chen noticed several cages behind him, covered by cloths.

Chang Heng pulled away the black canvas that blocked light and sight, revealing the three Bone-Spike Spirit Tigers inside.

These Bone-Spike Spirit Tigers were much larger than the family Luo Chen kept in the secret realm. Even when they were all lying on the ground, feigning sleep, they were about the size of an adult yak.

[race: Bone-Spike Spirit Tiger

Rank: Spirit Rank Nine-star

Type: Combat

State: Feigning Sleep

Aptitude: Excellent

Skills: 1. Pounce (Yellow-Tier): Instantly burst with speed to approach the target.

2. Golden Claw Blade (Mystic-Tier): The Bone-Spike Spirit Tiger's claws emit blade-like winds that detach from its body, damaging targets in their path.

3. Strike Weak Point (Mystic-Tier): A Bone-Spike Spirit Tiger with excellent hunting experience can always find the weak points on a target's body.

4. Flying Bone-Spike Blade (Mystic-Tier): The three bone spikes on the Bone-Spike Spirit Tiger's back can detach from its body to damage targets, and can return to its spine after attacking.

5. Tiger Roar (Yellow-Tier): The Bone-Spike Spirit Tiger emits a deterrent roar, intimidating some mentally fragile tamed beasts.

Evolution Path: 1. Bone-Spike Spirit Tiger → Bone-Blade Tiger King, Evolution Conditions: Spirit Rank Nine-star, and all three bone spikes remain intact.

2. Bone-Spike Spirit Tiger → Bone-Wing Flying Tiger, Evolution Conditions: Spirit Rank Nine-star, and bone spike length reaches at least 1.5 meters.]

Luo Chen looked at the Bone-Spike Spirit Tiger's second Evolution Path, deep in thought.

"The three of you each choose one. Who wants to go first?" Chang Heng looked at the three young people with a smile.

In fact, the information on the three Bone-Spike Spirit Tigers was pretty much the same, with only one having Excellent Aptitude, and the other two being Good.

The three young people looked at each other, falling into an awkward silence, as they were not yet familiar with each other and none of them liked to take the lead.

Chang Heng did not rush them, merely watching the strange atmosphere among the three with a mysterious smile.

Silence was followed by an even longer silence. Finally, Luo Chen couldn't stand the quiet atmosphere and proactively suggested,

"How about we draw lots to choose?"

Upon hearing his suggestion, the eyes of the other two immediately lit up, and they nodded in agreement.

Everyone agreed to Luo Chen's suggestion. The three Bone-Spike Spirit Tigers were numbered 1, 2, and 3 from left to right.

The Bone-Spike Spirit Tiger with Excellent Aptitude was indeed number 1.

Three slips of paper were taken from a wristband, each with a corresponding number written on it, and then Chang Heng acted as the notarizer.

He enveloped the three slips of paper with his spiritual power, so any spiritual prying would be detected by him.

This time, adhering to the principle of ladies first, Jiang Yiyi was allowed to make her choice first. She casually picked one of the three slips of paper.

Then, in order of age, Luo Chen chose second, and finally, Liu Yunjing, the oldest of the three.

Unfortunately, Jiang Yiyi drew number three, Luo Chen drew number two, and Liu Yunjing, who chose last, received the only Bone-Spike Spirit Tiger with Excellent Aptitude.

However, the three had no complaints, as the choice was made using a relatively fair method.

Seeing that they had made their choices, Chang Heng smiled and placed three identical sets of materials in front of them.

He then slowly explained the process of evolving a Bone-Spike Spirit Tiger into a Bone-Blade Tiger King.

"The third-tier spiritual item, Thousand-Enduring Bone, is refined into a liquid State with spiritual power, then the second-tier spiritual items, Zen Forest Water and Gold-Silver Powder, are added. After boiling at 650 degrees for half an hour, the potion will take shape upon cooling."

At this point, Chang Heng stroked his beard before continuing, "This completes the first step of preparation for evolution. The second step requires a clear understanding of the Bone-Spike Spirit Tiger's internal structure.

Then, following this fixed route, after they consume the potion, timely guidance is needed for them to successfully break through."

Chang Heng's spiritual power turned a bright blue, sketching the form of a Bone-Spike Spirit Tiger in the air, then a thin purple thread moved through different acupuncture points on the Bone-Spike Spirit Tiger.

Chang Heng used this easy-to-understand method to show them how to guide the energy along the correct route.

After repeating it twice, "First, you will probe the Bone-Spike Spirit Tiger's body with your spiritual power and run it along this route once. Only if you can maintain it throughout and without any errors in the path can you attempt the formal evolution."
