85: Hound Evolution

The [Double-Eared Fox] successfully evolved into a [Yu Yin Chong Er Fox], and it gained two more [Skill]s.

Luo Chen looked at its [Yu Yin] [Skill]. It seemed to be a status buff-Type [Skill], which was quite suitable for roles like a teacher.

The judges on the stage immediately noticed the changes in the [Double-Eared Fox].

Chang Heng and Luo Yuheng knew all the information about the current [Double-Eared Fox] directly.

It was another beast that had never appeared before. Chang Heng stroked the few wisps of goat-like beard on his chin, his eyes filled with admiration as he looked at Luo Chen.

A flash of affection and helplessness passed through Luo Yuheng's eyes; sometimes, having a child who was too excellent was also a source of trouble.

The other judges, seeing that the current [Double-Eared Fox] was not the rumored vicious [Gui Mian Fox], but a breed they had never seen before, felt their interest piqued.

They pricked up their ears, wanting to see if the two [Breeder]s, Luo Yuheng and Chang Heng, would reveal any details.

Who knew that after Chang Heng merely said, "Not bad, not bad," to express his opinion, neither of them said anything else, leaving the other four judges feeling incredibly uncomfortable despite their curiosity, though they still had to maintain their composure.

They felt terrible inside.

Standing not far behind Luo Chen, Zhao Yiri looked at the current appearance of the [Double-Eared Fox] and murmured in surprise, "He actually did it, the other [Evolution Path]."

In the [Illusion World] live stream, the barrage of comments had reached a peak because of the [Double-Eared Fox].

"I need to know all the information about the [Double-Eared Fox] within three seconds."

"Unbelievable, the [Double-Eared Fox] actually has other [Evolution Path]s."

"This is a hundred times better looking than that [Gui Mian Fox] guy."

"??? You're actually comparing my cute fox to a [Gui Mian Fox]?"

"Am I the only one who wants to know all the information about this young brother?"

"The [Double-Eared Fox], hehe, good-looking, hehe."

"Get that pervert out of here."

"It's a pity this is a live illusion; I have no way to use the [Eye of Truth] to see its current information."

However, offline, there were also [Breeder]s at the edge of the square who could see the information of the current [Double-Eared Fox].

Some of them transmitted the information of the [Yu Yin Chong Er Fox] into the [Illusion World].

"Is this [Yu Yin] really not a heaven-sent teacher [Skill]?"

It seems someone in the [Illusion World] had the same thought as Luo Chen.

"I feel like that melancholy uncle could totally make money with this [Skill] of the [Yu Yin Chong Er Fox]."

"This [Yu Yin Chong Er Fox] is quite good as either a support or a secondary damage dealer."

"I haven't seen that sonic attack before, but the damage of a Mysterious-grade [Skill] should be quite considerable, right?"

"I really want a [Yu Yin Chong Er Fox]."

...

The chaos in the outside world was temporarily unrelated to Luo Chen. He looked at the remaining materials and then at the [Hunting Hound] beside him.

He sighed quietly. Although his mental energy was far superior to [Breeder]s of the same [Rank], he was still not confident in tempering materials for a beast to evolve into a [King Beast].

He chose to meditate and adjust his breathing, bringing his mental energy to its best State, hoping it might increase the success rate a bit.

After about half an hour, Luo Chen reopened his eyes and looked at the [Hunting Hound], which was much taller than him.

[race: [Hunting Hound]

[Rank]: [Spirit Beast] Nine Star

[Type]: Martial Type

[State]: Expectant

[Aptitude]: Excellent

[Skill]: 1. Bite (Yellow-grade): The teeth of the [Hunting Hound] possess immense biting force, capable of easily tearing muscles from the target.

2. Spirit Nose (Yellow-grade): The [Hunting Hound] uses its ability to make it easier to distinguish the target it needs to find from the complex scents in the air.

3. [Pounce] (Yellow-grade): The [Hunting Hound] unleashes explosive speed in a short time to tackle the target to the ground.

4. Mark (Mysterious-grade): The [Hunting Hound] marks the target, increasing its own speed by 50% when approaching the opponent.

5. Spirit Energy Impact (Mysterious-grade): The [Hunting Hound] releases the energy inside its body in the form of bullets, causing damage to the target.

[Evolution Path]: [Hunting Hound] → Law-Enforcing Golden-Winged Dog, Evolution Requirement: [Spirit Beast] Nine Star and focused personality.

[Hunting Hound] → [Twinborn Dog], Evolution Requirement: [Spirit Beast] Nine Star and sufficiently strong mental energy.]

Luo Chen's gaze fell on the remaining materials: [mo yu mine], double-headed antelope horn, blood-dripping wood, and twin lotus.

These materials were exactly what was needed to evolve into a [Twinborn Dog].

The [mo yu mine] was only the size of a palm, pitch-black like ink, with the luster of jade.

The [mo yu mine] and the double-headed antelope horn were ground into powder.

The blood-dripping wood was refined into a mass of bright red blood.

Luo Chen took the twin lotus, let the [Hunting Hound] swallow it whole, and then followed it with the mixed black and gray powder and the liquid refined from the blood-dripping wood.

It wasn't over yet.

The evolution of a beast into a [King Beast] is completely different from a fierce beast evolving into a [Spirit Beast]. During this process, the swallowed energy needs to be guided by Luo Chen using mental energy.

It must pass through a special circulation method to be absorbed.

If no one teaches this process, and one only observes from the outside, nothing can be seen.

This process is also the most critical step; if one is not careful, all previous efforts will be wasted.

Luo Chen placed his palm on the forehead of the crouching [Hunting Hound], his mental energy entering its body.

Then, he contacted the energy that was continuously proliferating within it, kneading these energies into a thin thread.

He moved it through the [Hunting Hound]'s body as described in the [Evolution Path].

From the outside, the appearance of the [Hunting Hound] also began to change; strands of red appeared out of thin air among its brown-black fur.

And beside it, a mass of gray-white mist rolled constantly, as if something was about to come out of it.

Luo Chen's mental energy had already guided those energies to follow a specific pattern for half the way, and he felt his mental energy being consumed crazily.

A soft sigh rang out; Luo Chen clearly felt that his mental energy could not support him to complete the evolution of the [Hunting Hound].

But now that the process was already halfway through, Luo Chen still wanted to persist, to see how much he was away from being able to evolve a [King Beast].

When the pattern of the [Evolution Path] reached three-quarters, Luo Chen's mental energy was completely exhausted, and he could no longer guide the route of these energies at all.

In order not to let the remaining energy run wild and harm the [Hunting Hound] itself, Luo Chen could only guide these energies out of its body.

As soon as the evolution energy appeared in the outside world, it exploded on the ground.

"Bang!"

The floor suffered this level of energy attack and tore apart with a roar.

However, fortunately, with the protection of the air membrane, all these flying debris were blocked.

As for Luo Chen, although he was inside the air membrane, he was not harmed by the flying debris at all, because at this time he had the [Cloud Whale]'s [Big Water Ball] and the [Double-tailed Cat]'s [Spirit Membrane] protecting him together.

Under dual protection, naturally, he would not suffer any harm.

However, the [Hunting Hound] beside him stopped halfway through its evolution, which was not only physically uncomfortable but also a form of mental torture.

Those debris hit its body, but it didn't seem to feel anything, only looking at Luo Chen with resentful eyes.

The [Yu Yin Chong Er Fox], also under the air membrane, suffered this unprovoked disaster and could only dodge everywhere in this narrow space to save itself from the heavy blow of the debris.

After stopping, it looked at Luo Chen and the [Hunting Hound] with some confusion, not knowing what they were doing.
