CHAPTER 417: CHAPTER 241: NIU NIU’S SECOND EVOLUTION (PART 2)

Only then did Xiaobai walk to the boiler and jumped in directly.

At the same time, Liu Gu instructed the two spirit beasts to start using skills to protect Xiaobai.

After Xiaobai entered the furnace, it was initially energetic, but gradually became drowsy.

Before long, it began to fall asleep, muddled.

But it could be seen that Xiaobai was wrapped in a thick layer of golden energy.

This was something never seen before.

"This is the benefit of Dragon Beard Grass," Liu Gu explained. "Not only does it help spirit beasts absorb the medicinal power, but it also protects them and assists at critical moments of evolution."

Hearing this, Lin Chen also felt that these evolutionary materials are worth their price.

No wonder there’s a saying circulating:

If low levels use legendary materials, even pigs can successfully evolve.

As Xiaobai slept, the intense fire continued to burn.

On the first day, there was no cocooning.

The second day, still nothing.

On the third day, cocooning signs surprisingly appeared on Xiaobai’s bull head.

"So soon?" Lin Chen found it hard to believe.

But he also realized that this was because the Dragon Beard Grass was released early, and once Xiaobai fully absorbed it, the cocooning naturally commenced.

The cocooning lasted for three days, and the sleeping Xiaobai in the boiler turned into a golden cocoon.

Liu Gu instructed the spirit beasts to extinguish the fire, and the entire room fell silent.

...

During this period, the Great Elder occasionally came by and sometimes had to attend to other matters.

Currently, it’s the enrollment season at the Spirit Academy, so the Great Elder is also busy with many tasks.

However, he still reminded Lin Chen that at the Celestial Realm Mountain Conference, the Dragon Transformation Skill must not be used.

This Dragon Transformation Skill is exclusive to the National Preceptor and should not be meddled with by others.

Although this was a transaction between the National Preceptor and Lin Chen, voluntarily gifted, the Spirit Academy’s intervention made it possible to protect Lin Chen, but Zhong Nan would inevitably encounter problems.

The forces of the Dubhe Pavilion and the Celestial Capital would certainly not allow Zhong Nan to carry out such actions.

The subsequent period was very long, with Lin Chen guarding by the side with Xiao Hong and Xiao Hei. Most of the time, Xiao Hei was leveling up, while Xiao Hong balanced cultivation and grilling eggs.

After about eight days, Xiaobai began showing signs of cocooning, which was much faster than before.

With the shedding of the cocoon skin, Lin Chen’s heart started to fill with anticipation.

Nearly ten more days passed, and the signs of breaking the cocoon became more evident, starting to shed the outermost cocoon skin. Hearing this news, the Great Elder also came swiftly.

The future of the Divine and Demonic Power is incalculable, and the Great Elder also hopes Lin Chen’s future can go further.

Finally, on the thirteenth day, the yellow cocoon broke open.

....

Under everyone’s gaze, the golden cocoon began to shed extensively. Miraculously, as the outer skin completely shed, its surface glowed with cyan and gold patterns, as if sealing an ancient power.

Suddenly, a dull thumping sound emerged from within the cocoon, resembling the heartbeat of the earth’s depths. Cracks spread across the cocoon shell, and cyan light burst forth from the gaps.

"Grr!"

The Little Fox nervously leaped onto the Big White Bear’s head, and Lin Chen, spurred by this cry, began to breathe rapidly.

Although confident in Xiaobai’s evolution, probability is inherently elusive.

1% and 99% sometimes feel no different.

Amid Lin Chen’s worry and anticipation, a deafening roar erupted from the wild bull, resembling a thunderclap from the nine heavens.

The cocoon shell shattered in a slight tremor.

The fragments transformed dreamily into gentle light dots, gradually dissipating into the air, like a magnificent curtain call.

At the same time, a turquoise bull body broke out of the cocoon rapidly, its four hooves landing heavily on the ground, emitting a powerful and deep thud. It stood proudly, enveloped in a faint cyan glow, subtly creating an invisible pressure on the other surrounding spirit beasts.

At the moment of breaking the cocoon, the dazzling light quickly converged, revealing Xiaobai’s brand new form post-evolution.

This bull’s entire body was deep cyan, resembling an azure ancient jade, both warm and mysterious. Its fur was as smooth as silk, glistening with an enchanting luster under the dim light.

Its eyes lit up suddenly like two bright lamps, and on closer inspection, they revealed heterochromatic pupils, exuding a profound and mysterious aura.

Yan Lan, standing beside, involuntarily swallowed with difficulty upon witnessing this scene.

While Lin Chen and the others marveled, Xiaobai mooed towards Lin Chen, who finally came to his senses and quickly led the Little Fox and others in a hurried run.

Xiaobai tried its best to show a kind smile, yet its current form made it hard to restrain its majesty and dominance.

"Moo~~"

Nevertheless, it mooed to let Lin Chen and the others know that Niu Niu hadn’t changed and was still the sincere, diligent, and cleanliness-loving Xiaobai.

"This time, it didn’t sleep for long..." Lin Chen stepped forward and patted its head, then said, "Let’s eat first."

The Big White Bear immediately scampered off to fetch food for Xiaobai upon hearing this.

Xiaobai habitually took a bath first, and after washing clean and having a good meal, it mooed again and tilted its head towards Lin Chen.

It also understood that Lin Chen was eagerly anticipating seeing its evolution data.

In fact, not only Lin Chen, but Liu Gu and the others nearby were also keen to know Xiaobai’s new name and changes after the second evolution.

Lin Chen nervously swallowed, placed his hand on Xiaobai’s head, and soon a large amount of information flooded into his mind:

[Holy Dawn Beast]

[Advanced Sacred Beast]

[Level: 41]

[Dominant Bloodline: Holy Dawn Beast 27.88%, Plowhorn Beast 1.33%, Kui Spirit Beast 16.11%, Sacred Wild Bull 10.6854%]

[Hidden Bloodline: 28.65%]

[Polluted Bloodline: 15.3446%]

"Holy Dawn Beast?"

Lin Chen’s mind raced, but he couldn’t think of seeing this name in the "Beast Taming Treasure Manual."

Clearly, it was a new name.

"Let’s see the ability enhancements."

Lin Chen continued to look, as spirit beast evolution enhances the potential of a spirit beast from one level to another, reflected in the changes in beast power.

For example, the bottleneck of the Plowhorn Beast stage is a bottle of water, whereas in the Kui Spirit Beast stage, it is a water tank.

The evolution of spirit beasts can greatly liberate beast power and unlock new abilities.

However, Xiaobai had yet to awaken its sixth skill, so Lin Chen didn’t know what the sixth skill was.

Nonetheless, Lin Chen remained highly anticipative, wanting to see if Xiaobai’s evolution this time would come with any upgrades to its other skill levels.

[Skill 1: Iron Horn Impact (Divine Enlightenment)]

[Skill 2: Soul-Calming Hoof (Divine Enlightenment)]

[Skill 3: Barbaric Bloodline (Divine Enlightenment)]

[Skill 4: Eternal Damnation Demon Horn (Divine Enlightenment)]

[Skill 5: Demon Bull Appearance (Mastery)]

This evolution only upgraded one skill, the Eternal Damnation Demon Horn, which made Lin Chen feel a little regretful.

If the Demon Bull Appearance had been upgraded by one level, it would’ve been a major win.

However, since the Demon Bull Appearance had just upgraded from entry-level to mastery level, it was within reason not to see another upgrade.

Lin Chen pondered for a moment, knowing that haste makes waste, he turned to explain everything to Liu Gu and the others.

"Holy Dawn Beast?"

The Great Elder and Liu Gu racked their brains but couldn’t recall such a name.

"It seems that this should be the name of the Kui Spirit Beast evolving into a Sacred Beast," Liu Gu also nodded, and then asked, "Has its abilities seen any new enhancements?"

"Yes..."

Just as Lin Chen was about to speak, the Great Elder interjected, "Wait."

The two were taken aback, not expecting the Great Elder to say to Yan Lan, "Yan Lan, there are a few things I need to clarify for you in advance, as Lin Chen has been invited by the Dubhe Pavilion to participate in the Celestial Realm Mountain Conference, so from now on, the information about his spirit beast is top secret."

Yan Lan wasn’t a fool and immediately understood.

"You can continue to stay, although the Dubhe Pavilion might place certain supervision on you..." the Great Elder stated subtly.

Yan Lan, however, decisively said, "The evolution has been completed. I just wanted to congratulate my senior here. I can actually go out and prepare meals for you all to celebrate for my senior."

With that, Yan Lan left.

The Great Elder turned back to Liu Gu and Lin Chen and said, "I have no choice. The last leak at the Beast Fighting Conference still hasn’t been resolved."

Only then did Liu Gu and Lin Chen recall, and the Great Elder added:

"The last incident only pertained to the interests of Celestial Beast Island, but this time concerns the future of the nation."

Hearing these words, both nodded in agreement. Just as Lin Chen was about to begin testing Xiaobai, the Great Elder said:

"I noticed this time Xiaobai’s evolution included a pair of heterochromatic eyes, and the Sacred Beast ability this time might lie in that."
