Chapter 74: Evolution Successful

This was a chaotic, gray-black space, with all sides—up, down, left, and right—being solid-looking gray-black mist walls. In the very center of this space was a small pool, roughly 100 square meters in size.

That's right, this was Jiang Chen's beast taming space within his mind.

Upon closer inspection, the 'water' in this 100-square-meter pool was actually condensed from countless spiritual power.

And now, as Jiang Chen meditated, absorbing the spiritual power floating in the outside world, which then flowed through his meridians, this spiritual power would slowly inject into this pool.

As the water in the pool increased, the pool slowly expanded in all directions, and the surrounding gray-black mist walls gradually receded, giving way.

This is the specific method for a Beast Tamer to expand their beast taming space through meditation.

In the past, Xiao Jiu rested in this beast taming space. When a pet beast stays in this beast taming space, its growth, development, and increase in strength will be slightly faster than in the outside world. The most important reason is this pool, condensed from spiritual power.

The spiritual power in this pool is purified through the Beast Tamer's entire meridian system, making it extremely pure.

Pet beasts can directly absorb and use it.

As a pet beast grows and its strength improves, the amount of spiritual power it needs to absorb also increases.

Therefore, if a Beast Tamer does not want to affect the development of their pet beast, they must continuously widen the spiritual power pool and expand the beast taming space.

At the same time, once Jiang Chen advances to become a Professional Beastmaster, he can contract a second pet beast. At that time, more spiritual power will be needed, and the beast taming space will also need to be more spacious, otherwise, it will not be able to meet the spiritual power demands of two pet beasts.

In the room, the amount of spiritual power Jiang Chen obtained through his own meditation was truly a bit small, almost negligible compared to that vast pool of spiritual power.

Jiang Chen shook his head and retrieved a blue bead from a hidden corner of the room. It was the size of a pebble and emanated a rich spiritual power aura.

This bead was none other than the sea spirit pearl awarded by the school during the practical training!

Jiang Chen held the sea spirit pearl in his palm and began meditating and absorbing again.

Immediately, the sea spirit pearl in his palm was like a spiritual power sun. As he absorbed, streams of spiritual power surged into Jiang Chen's meridians!

This absorption speed was four or five times faster than his own meditation!

Jiang Chen couldn't help but feel generous. Spending money is better than spending time!

Jiang Chen cultivated until nearly midnight before stopping. Seeing that his beast taming space had expanded slightly, he nodded in satisfaction.

He walked to the bed and saw that Xiao Jiu's bloodline evolution was not yet finished, so he hugged the warm, large meat pillow and slowly fell asleep.

The next morning.

Jiang Chen, who was vaguely sleeping, suddenly felt an itch in his nose, as if something was poking it.

Jiang Chen grunted in displeasure and reached out to swat away whatever was on his nose.

However, no sooner had he swat away the thing on his left nostril than his right nostril began to itch again.

Jiang Chen grew angry and flailed his hands wildly in the air!

But the thing scratching his nose was extremely agile. No matter how Jiang Chen swatted, it always managed to find a gap and poke into his nostril, making Jiang Chen so itchy that he immediately jumped out of his sleep!

"Who is it!"

Jiang Chen roared in anger!

However, when he opened his eyes, Jiang Chen was slightly stunned!

He saw a fluffy white cat quietly lying beside him. This big cat was Xiao Jiu!

But in just one night, Xiao Jiu's appearance had undergone quite a few changes!

First was its size. As Xiao Jiu evolved into the Two-Tailed Fishing Cat bloodline, its body length had increased from 1.2 meters to about 1.4 meters!

At the same time, the white fur on Xiao Jiu's body was tinged with a lustrous glow, as if it was emitting a faint light!

Jiang Chen touched it, and wow, the texture was even better!

Finally, the biggest change was that behind Xiao Jiu, another tail had grown.

Now, two identical tails stood upright behind it, swaying fluffily in the air, looking incredibly adorable!

"Xiao Jiu, your bloodline evolution was successful?" Jiang Chen exclaimed with joy!

"Meow meow meow!"

Xiao Jiu blinked its even brighter and more sparkling blue cat eyes, narrowing them in delight, and responded happily.

At this moment, it could feel that although its strength didn't seem to have increased much, its entire body seemed to be filled with a vast sense of power!

Moreover, it was full of energy, with a feeling of vigorous life, flourishing growth, and countless hidden potentials within its body!

Xiao Jiu could clearly feel that before this, there seemed to be a 'shackle' hidden within its body. Once it reached the Late-Awakening Stage, it was very difficult to continue breaking through.

But now, Xiao Jiu had a premonition that the Late-Awakening Stage was no longer its limit; it could easily surpass it.

This was the greatest effect of a bloodline upgrade.

In the past, after Xiao Jiu cultivated to the Late-Awakening Stage, it was extremely difficult to continue progressing.

But now, with its bloodline upgraded, as long as its cultivation is sufficient, it can naturally break through to the Elite Level!

Next, Jiang Chen carefully tested Xiao Jiu's various stats. Its strength, speed, and defense all increased by about 30%.

Innate skills like Steel Rend Claw and Water Concealment also increased in power by 30%. This is the power brought by the bloodline.

Additionally, with Xiao Jiu's successful bloodline upgrade, it also awakened a new skill.

[Species] Two-Tailed Fishing Cat (Xiao Jiu)

[Level] Mid-Awakening Stage

[Bloodline] Late-Elite Level

[Skills] Low-tier skill Steel Rend Claw (Proficient), Low-tier skill Water Concealment (Skilled), Low-tier skill Brute Force (Skilled), Low-tier skill Water Clone (Skilled), Low-tier skill Whip Tail (Beginner), Mid-tier skill Whale Breath Meditation Technique (Beginner).

After Xiao Jiu's bloodline upgraded to Elite Level, it awakened a new skill, Whip Tail.

This involves channeling spiritual power into the cat's tail, making it hard to attack.

This skill is only a low-tier skill, but it's not bad; it enriches Xiao Jiu's attack methods.

As far as Jiang Chen knew, Fishing Cats also have mid-tier and high-tier skills, but they need to wait for their bloodline to evolve to a higher level before they can awaken them.

Jiang Chen was indifferent to it. Anyway, for him, who possessed the little yellow book, using the sea creature illustration compendium would likely make it easier to acquire skills, and also allow for more unexpected tactics when fighting enemies.

With Xiao Jiu's bloodline evolution successful, there were no longer any obstacles to its growth into an Elite Level pet beast. As long as training and various evolution materials kept up, it could evolve freely.

Jiang Chen was in a great mood. After washing up, he eagerly walked towards Principal Gao Hong's office.

A day had passed. Had Vice Principal Zhao Zhong returned? He wanted to know the specific news from Rong City.

Also, had his million yuan arrived yet?

Jiang Chen was very concerned about both!

PS: Please vote! You can guess what Jiang Chen's second pet beast will be.

Don't hoard chapters, they can easily die out! The 3rd update will be later.
