Beast Taming: I'm Really Not a Cultivation Master

Chapter 413: Chapter 383: Relentless Light of Evolution 2

Li Qian knew full well what was at stake. For this evolution, he had to give it his all—for Mo Yuan City, for the new students, and for himself.

If Mo Yuan City were to fall, he, trapped within, would surely meet a grim end.

Besides, Li Qian felt that Dean Cong had been right about one thing. ’Now is indeed the perfect time to deal with the Cult Organization.’

If they waited until the two worlds completely merged and Extraordinary Creatures ran rampant, dealing with them would become incredibly difficult.

At that point, the Cult Organization would no longer be a mere nuisance, but a threat to their very existence.

It was precisely because of this foresight that the officials were so desperate, even using this year’s new students as bait to lure the other side into making a move. Li Qian could understand their reasoning.

In other matters, Li Qian felt his abilities were limited and he couldn’t be of much help, but when it came to evolution, he was something of an authority.

Having made his decision to go all out, Li Qian immediately set to work, wasting no time.

”It’s done!” About fifteen minutes later, the second Cultivation Room opened, revealing the same Light of Evolution to everyone present.

At first, the Guards and the Guardian Envoy had been shocked by the sight, but now, they were used to it.

Li Qian was just too fast. It was as if... evolving a Sunbird was as casual as buying a watermelon from a street stall, without even haggling.

’He’s an absolute monster!’

This was what the middle-aged Guardian Envoy and the Guards were all truly thinking. In that moment, they finally understood why the higher-ups valued this young man so highly.

A monstrous genius like him was undoubtedly a future pillar of the Dongxia Federation. No amount of attention would be too much.

If there was anyone on site who had grown accustomed to this, it would have to be Sun Ruirui. Indeed, a Guardian Envoy had already brought the girl over.

She was now waiting just outside the Cultivation Room.

”You’re here!” Li Qian said, a look of delight on his face as he opened the Cultivation Room door and saw her.

Sun Ruirui hadn’t run into any trouble; by the looks of it, she wasn’t even injured. This brought Li Qian a great sense of relief.

’Those with great ability should help the world.’ Li Qian couldn’t do that yet. He could only strive to protect himself and those close to him.

”The Guardian Envoy summoned you, so I assume he’s already told you why. In that case, let’s not waste any time. Let’s get started.” Li Qian was happy to see Sun Ruirui, but he hadn’t forgotten the task at hand.

With those brief words, he led the way toward the first Cultivation Room, which was now vacant after the previous evolution.

This way, he could use the two Cultivation Rooms in a continuous cycle.

”Okay!” Sun Ruirui didn’t hesitate. She nodded and followed Li Qian into the Cultivation Room.

The Cultivation Room door closed. Sun Ruirui looked at Li Qian and said, ”Thank you, Brother Qian!”

Li Qian chuckled. ”What are you thanking me for? You should know this already. To evolve the Tidal Sea Spirit, I really do need your help.”

His words made sense, but the girl knew she wasn’t irreplaceable.

She was sure that if Li Qian just asked, the officials could quickly find him another Pet Beast capable of using the Life Dew Skill.

Without further delay, once everything was ready, Li Qian began the evolution process once more. ”You’re aware of the situation outside. Right now, we’re in desperate need of Light-type and Life-type Pet Beasts.”

”I know.” Sun Ruirui nodded, her expression suddenly turning serious.

The evolution began at once. Li Qian handed two Beast Taming Balls to Sun Ruirui. ”Ruirui, communicate with them. This should be your area of expertise.”

Even though Li Qian didn’t specify what to say, Sun Ruirui already knew. He had previously shared the key information about the evolution with her.

Golden Pearl Buds are Water-type Pet Beasts, and Sun Ruirui possessed an incredibly rare, top-tier Beast Taming Talent: Ocean Calamity.

It gave her a natural affinity with Water-type Pet Beasts.

Therefore, her communication with them went very smoothly.

While she was communicating with them, Li Qian had nearly finished his own preparations.

As expected, Sun Ruirui summoned Golden Rain.

Li Qian and Golden Rain were already old acquaintances, and the two—one human, one Pet Beast—conversed happily.

After he briefly explained his objective, it nodded earnestly.

’In situations like this,’ Li Qian couldn’t help but reflect, ’the Telepathy Talent really comes in handy.’

’Without it, communicating with Golden Rain would have been a real hassle.’

”We can begin!”

After a few moments of communication, everything was ready.

Sun Ruirui suddenly looked at Li Qian, her gaze firm as she spoke.

Li Qian chose to trust her unconditionally.

For Li Qian, the steps to evolve a Tidal Sea Spirit were already second nature.

So, without any hesitation, he instructed Golden Rain, ”Go ahead and use the Life Dew Skill!”

As the Life Dew Skill was cast, a faint Light of Evolution began to emanate from one of the Golden Pearl Buds.

Everything was going smoothly...

While presiding over the evolution, Li Qian said to Sun Ruirui, ”Ruirui, watch closely. From now on, we’re splitting up the work!”

”I’m putting you in charge of evolving the Tidal Sea Spirits. You already know all the key information.”

The reason Li Qian was so generous was not just his trust in Sun Ruirui, but also because this evolution method... Old Sun had already mastered it.

He could pass it on to Sun Ruirui whenever he wanted.

So for her, keeping it a secret was no longer a concern.

”Me...?”

Hearing this, the girl hesitated.

She looked at Li Qian and shook her head.

She looked utterly lacking in confidence.

But Li Qian held her gaze firmly. ”Ruirui, look at me. You have to believe in yourself. I know you can do it.”

”We need to be more efficient. Every moment we waste, another Adventurer or new student could die outside the city walls!”

”And you have to believe in your Talent! It’s not just for combat—you’re a genius when it comes to nurturing Pet Beasts, too!”

”Okay, I’ll give it my all!” Meeting Li Qian’s intense, trusting gaze, the girl’s brow furrowed in determination, and she spoke with a solemn expression.

Li Qian smiled, walked over, and patted her on the shoulder.

Meanwhile, the evolution continued as he began adding various Extraordinary Materials.

This evolution went incredibly smoothly. Even when the second Golden Pearl Bud offered up its Golden Pearl and the evolution fully commenced, there were no mishaps whatsoever!

The first stage of the evolution was complete!

The first Tidal Sea Spirit appeared before their very eyes!

After completing that evolution, Li Qian didn’t hesitate to begin the second stage.

Golden Rain once again used the Life Dew Skill.

Fortunately, the Skill’s Energy consumption wasn’t high. Otherwise, if this kept up, Golden Rain would have collapsed from exhaustion.

The second stage of evolution was slightly more dangerous than the first.

But by the same token, a successful evolution would also result in higher Potential.

Throughout the evolution process, Li Qian made sure to demonstrate every single step in detail.

He meticulously explained each step and every addition of materials.

The young girl listened intently beside him, nodding from time to time.

Finally, after about another half hour, Li Qian pressed the button to open the Cultivation Room.

The Cultivation Room opened slowly. As expected, there was no flash of the Light of Evolution. What appeared before them were two sacred, noble, and elegant Humanoid Pet Beasts—the Tidal Sea Spirits.

The Guards who saw this were already numb to it.

They didn’t even know what to say anymore.

All they could do was marvel internally. ’A genius is just on another level!’

After completing this round of evolutions, the two of them immediately began the next phase of their work, wasting no time.

Li Qian took all the Beast Taming Balls the middle-aged Guardian Envoy handed him.

It was a considerable number this time—ten in total.

Four of them contained Golden Pearl Buds, and six held Red Feather Chickens.

Li Qian handed the four Beast Taming Balls with the Golden Pearl Buds to Sun Ruirui, while he took the six Evolution Balls with the Red Feather Chickens to the second Cultivation Room.

Before he left, Li Qian gave Sun Ruirui one last look of encouragement. ”Ruirui, you have to believe in yourself. You can do it!”

Hearing his words, the young girl nodded with a serious expression.
