255: Chapter 255 Evolution and Body Size_1 255: Chapter 255 Evolution and Body Size_1 “Here’s your potion; after Ah Mu drinks it, I expect it will start evolving soon.”

As he handed over the prepared potion to Qi Chen, Qi Chen looked at Feng Yuan, who was smiling at him, and said with some confusion,

“Just like that?”

“What do you mean, ‘just like that’?”

“I thought you would give me another pep talk.”

Hearing Qi Chen’s words, Feng Yuan said somewhat speechlessly,

“Why the need for so much persuasion?

You made up your mind long ago; there’s no need to persuade you at this point.”

“But what’s with this Space Gate…”

Looking through the Space Gate at the pharmacy he often visited, Feng Yuan turned to Agunas with some confusion.

Qi Chen, shaking the potion in his hand, said,

“Just now, Teacher Yan came over looking for Dream Water Droplets, but there were none at Teacher Orlina’s place, so Agunas opened a Space Gate.”

“Dream Water Droplets?”

“It seems Lingling suddenly evolved, so those were urgently needed.”

“Lingling?…

Wait!

The Dream Bell can evolve on its own?

I remember that the Dream Bell needs human intervention to evolve, right?”

Turning the pen in her hand, Orlina explained and shared her speculation with Feng Yuan, who, after hearing Orlina’s explanation, said with some enlightenment,

“I see, a time reversal, huh?

But why would Lorraine Tower do something like that?

However, if it is indeed time reversal, then it makes sense that something like this could happen.

Furthermore, due to the correction force, there’s quite a high chance it would evolve back to its original form.”

After hesitating for a long time, Ah Mu snatched the potion from Qi Chen with a vine and drank it.

Soon, Ah Mu became drowsy and gradually fell asleep.

A verdant glow emerged from Ah Mu, slowly spreading and wrapping around it in a green cocoon.

Watching the cocoon, Feng Yuan said with a smile,

“What will it evolve into?

I’m so looking forward to it~”

Qi Chen, standing nearby, was anxiously watching the cocoon, constantly pulling on Feng Yuan to make sure there were no problems with Ah Mu.

Orlina, looking at the nervous Qi Chen and the calm Feng Yuan, seemed to recall something, a smile spreading across her face.

After a long while, the cocoon gradually grew larger and cracks started to form.

As the cracks multiplied, the cocoon shattered under Qi Chen’s anxious yet anticipatory gaze.

A tree creature over one person tall slowly opened its eyes.

Its head bore dark green leaves and its body was wrapped with several vines.

After glancing at Qi Chen, the tree creature smiled, and Qi Chen embraced it with delight, saying,

“Ah Mu~ I’m so glad~”

“A Good Level Giant Tree Demon, huh…

not unexpected, since it already had the potential of the Good Level.

It’s a shame it couldn’t evolve directly into a Guardian Tree; that’s a bit disappointing.”

Glancing at Feng Yuan, Orlina said with mild irritation,

“Evolve into a Guardian Tree?

Do you really think that just with a Spirit Wood Potion that would be possible?

And considering the size of a Guardian Tree, are you planning to demolish my infirmary?”

Scratching his head and grinning sheepishly, Feng Yuan looked over at Qi Chen, who was interacting with Ah Mu, and sighed,

“But a Giant Tree Demon is already quite big, and if I’m not mistaken, it will continue to grow even larger.”

“That’s correct, I reckon that his Ah Mu can only be housed in the beast pen from now on.”

“That seems a bit cruel…

let me think…

Gitalien is still resting, but later I’ll see if I can ask it for help to expand the space in the dormitory.”

“By the way, Qi Chen, you should quickly teach Ah Mu to change its form.”

“Change its form?”

Looking at Ah Mu, Feng Yuan said while pinching his chin,

“Yes, change its form.

Otherwise, once Ah Mu continues to grow, it will be troublesome for you to take it anywhere.”

“But…

I don’t know how…”

Glancing at Qi Chen, Feng Yuan said with a hint of helplessness,

“Alright then, I’ll teach you.

Come, let’s go to the combat training area.”

Looking at the puzzled Qi Chen, Feng Yuan said with mild annoyance,

“Changing form without practice, you might not necessarily shrink; you could also end up growing larger.

Are you planning to destroy the infirmary?”

“Ah!

No, I didn’t have that thought.”

“Then let’s go.”

“So, what do we do with this Space Gate?”

“It will disappear on its own after three hours.”

Watching the departing figures, Orlina shook her head and then continued to examine the documents in her hand.

“Wow!

Qi Chen, you’re soaring to the sky!”

“Ah Mu~ come here and let me have a look~”

“Yo~ Qi Chen, you’re doing pretty well, kid.

This will greatly increase your chances of getting into Maomu Academy.”

…

As soon as they entered the battlefield, the classmates crowded around Ah Mu’s current form, admiringly looking at Qi Chen.

Feng Yuan quietly pulled out his Greatsword, and at that moment, the other students quickly stepped back.

One of the boys said with a lack of confidence,

“Feng Yuan!

What are you doing!

We didn’t provoke you!”

Waving the Greatsword in his hand, Feng Yuan said calmly,

“I need to teach Ah Mu something right now.

You’re getting in my way.”

Qi Chen sighed, pushed Feng Yuan, and said,

“You take Ah Mu over there.

I’ll talk to them.”

After sheathing his Greatsword, Feng Yuan took Ah Mu to one side to teach it how to change its size, while Qi Chen explained something to the classmates.

Unfortunately, those people couldn’t help but sneak peeks at Feng Yuan, seemingly a bit annoyed.

A while later, as Feng Yuan was teaching Ah Mu how to transform, he felt something rubbing against his leg.

Looking down, he saw a bright yellow furball at his feet.

“Xiao Ji?

Aren’t you training?”

Xiao Ji pointed a little wing at Ah Mu, then at himself, looking aggrieved.

Patting Xiao Ji, Feng Yuan said with a smile,

“Ah Mu is too big right now, I’m teaching it how to change size.

Otherwise, how can it return to the dorm?”

Glancing at the over one-meter-tall Ah Mu, Xiao Ji gave Feng Yuan a look of disbelief.

Lifting Xiao Ji into his arms, Feng Yuan looked at Ah Mu and said,

“Ah Mu is just evolving, and its size hasn’t reached the maximum yet.

I remember the Giant Tree Demons are generally about three meters tall.

If it can’t change size, I’m guessing Ah Mu really won’t be able to return to the dorm.”

Hearing that, Ah Mu seemed to be somewhat anxious and lost control for a moment, suddenly growing much larger.

Holding his forehead, Feng Yuan said with a touch of helplessness,

“First cut off the energy supply and return to your original size, then try again.”

After watching for a while and seeing Ah Mu continually grow and shrink, with only occasional success in getting smaller, Xiao Ji seemed bored and jumped out of Feng Yuan’s arms.

Before leaving, Xiao Ji gave Feng Yuan a warning chirp.

Scratching his head, Feng Yuan said somewhat speechlessly,

“What does this little guy mean, huh?

Ah Mu is Qi Chen’s Beast Tamer pet.

Is it going to be abducted by me?”

As the class was about to end, Teacher Mu came over and said loudly to everyone,

“Let me inform you!

Teacher Yan has an emergency!

When the class bell rings later, dismiss on your own, no need to wait for assembly!”

“Please notify each other!”

After repeating several times and confirming that most people had heard, Teacher Mu walked over to Feng Yuan with a puzzled expression and said,

“Where’d you pick up another Spirit Beast from?”

“Do I look like someone who just randomly picks up Spirit Beasts…”

“Alright, it’s Ah Mu, Qi Chen’s Ah Mu.

I’m just teaching it how to change its form.”

Seeing Teacher Mu’s doubtful look, Feng Yuan had to confess honestly.

Glancing at Ah Mu, Teacher Mu said with some confusion,

“Judging by this form, it should be a Giant Tree Demon, right?

This makes Qi Chen’s chance of getting into Maomu Academy quite high.

Not bad, but isn’t the skill of form changing a bit too advanced for it?”

“Not really.

Ah Mu evolved using the Spirit Wood Potion, and it has been fed other Potions before.

Its energy control is already not weaker than that of an Elite Level Spirit Beast.”

“Spirit Wood Potion?

Qi Chen really went all out for it.

I remember that potion is difficult to come by; few willing to prepare it, but it seems worth it in this case…”

“Alright, I won’t disturb you anymore.”

After patting Feng Yuan on the shoulder in encouragement, Teacher Mu turned and walked away.

Watching Ah Mu who still couldn’t master the transformation skillfully, Feng Yuan felt a bit of a headache.
