Chapter 267 - The Oceanic White Carp Jiao’s Evolution
“By the way, is the bedding set still in my room?”
Ye Xuan took the Challenger-level dragon crystal core from Lin Shiru. He put it away after throwing it a brief look.
Then, looking at Lin Shiru, he walked to the room where he had stayed last time with a big grin on his face.
“Where are you going?”
Lin Shiru stared at him. “You’ve got your thing. Aren’t you gonna seize your time to work on the breakthrough?”
“That’s a lot of trouble. After the breakthrough, I will contract with the Sacred Divine Wood, which I will need to come back here to fetch. Besides, I will create a big disturbance every time I contract with a new beast. So, I figure it will be better to stay here so that you can cover me up.”
Ye Xuan walked into his bedroom as he spoke.
Lin Shiru was not happy at all to see Ye Xuan so shameless again, but she was too good to stay angry. She said immediately, “Would you like some snacks during the night?”
“Yes, of course!”
Ye Xuan nodded.
It was not even ten o’clock in the evening. He was a little tired from the trip to the trial grounds of the sea world, but as a Beast Tamer on the peak Silver level, it would be okay for him to stay awake for days.
If he practiced some meditation technique, be it the Supreme Sensing or the Calamity of Fire and Wind, the recovery of his Mind Energy would accelerate.
He glanced at his bedroom.
He saw the bedding set he had used remained the same on the bed. Everything was tidy. No one had used it since he had left.
A smile showed up on his face. He turned around to walk to the kitchen in his men’s slippers.
Lin Shiru bought those for him during his last visit.
At first, since his visit was unexpected, he had to wear Lin Shiru’s slippers.
In the kitchen, Ye Xuan saw Lin Shiru putting on a pink apron with a flower pattern.
She was in ordinary loungewear this night.
A pair of black pants.
A short-sleeved white T-shirt.
It was simple. She did not dress up.
But even so, she still looked pretty and fresh.
“I’ll help.”
Ye Xuan walked in, looking around in the kitchen.
To be honest, this was his second life, but he had never walked into any kitchen in neither life of his.
“You will help?”
Lin Shiru threw Ye Xuan a look. She did not speak.
Ye Xuan went into the kitchen once last time he was here, but he almost damaged her kitchen.
“Hey.”
Ye Xuan showed an embarrassed smile. “I thought it would be faster if we could work together.”
“If you don’t need my help, I will stay here and watch.”
Gazing at Lin Shiru, he felt her more and more stunning.
Lin Shiru came from a noble family.
She was pretty.
She had a great body.
She was gentle and thoughtful.
He had lived more than one life.
If all those years he had lived were added up, he would be quite old. He wished he could marry a woman like Lin Shiru.
Tang Mengxia, Fang Lan, and so on were simply too young for him.
They would depend on him too much.
Lin Shiru was different. She was thoughtful and knew how to take care of people.
Ye Xuan felt he liked her a lot.
Of course, it was not time to think about that yet.
He had to achieve the Platinum level as quickly as possible.
He would think about that when he graduated from Jiangzhou University.
Although his total age was old, he was still a little young in this life.
At the thought of that, Ye Xuan shifted his consciousness and sent a dash of it into the World of Sea of the Oceanic White Carp Jiao.
“Bubble! Bubble! Bubble…”
At the moment, the Oceanic White Carp Jiao, lying in the eye of the sea, which was deep undersea, was spitting out bubbles into the seawater.
It was having a lot of fun.
It had just refined the Dragon Stone of Inheritance Ye Xuan had given it.
And it had taken it into its Spirit Ocean.
It knew from the information the Dragon Stone of Inheritance had passed to it that it was probably following an amazing owner.
That made it very excited.
Ye Xuan focused his consciousness on it. He glanced over and then focused on the three things next to it.
One of them was the Challenger-level dragon crystal core that he had just got, which was kept in a box.
The second was a core of the sea which he had exchanged Gold points for, and the third was a drop of Challenger-level true dragon blood.
One of them was kept in a jade box and the other was in a transparent crystal bottle.
The Oceanic White Carp Jiao put all of the three things next to it in an organized way.
It could perceive the fatal temptation from the three treasures.
But it did not know why Ye Xuan had left them here.
So, it did not have the nerve to touch them.
It only threw them a look every once in a while.
“Edit!”
Ye Xuan shifted his consciousness when he had focused on it.
He opened the Beast Editor.
He chose to edit the evolutionary resources next to the Oceanic White Carp Jiao into its body.
Buzz!
Instantly, as a weird fluctuation came, the Oceanic White Carp Jiao found the things next to it all turned into a flowing light that dashed at it.
“What is going on?”
Its whiskers trembled.
But before it had any time to dodge, those flowing lights dashed into its body very quickly.
Its mind went blank in a second.
When it had come to itself, it found its body had transformed in the blink of an eye.
After this transformation, its body, which had been more than sixty feet long, was about one hundred feet long.
And it was as white as the driven snow and shining.
It had also two new dragon paws under its belly.
These two paws, as well as the two forepaws it had, were all slim and powerful as if their nails had been trimmed with care. They were totally different from the ugly paws it used to have.
At the same time, the scales on it were lined up in an organized manner.
They were unlike the scarce scales it used to have.
Besides, its head, which had been more like a carp head, had totally transformed into a jiao head by then.
There was no more sign of carp on it.
There were even two round white bumps on its forehead.
“This is jiao? My carp body has transformed into the jiao body perfectly?”
The Oceanic White Carp Jiao was instantly struck dumb when it had checked its current look with its Mind Energy.
It also vaguely felt it had got many new abilities after the transformation.
“Have you succeeded?”
Ye Xuan felt joyful when he had seen the Oceanic White Carp Jiao’s new look.
The Oceanic White Carp Jiao looked completely different from before after the transformation.
It was like a toad before.
But by then, it was completely a prince.
Ye Xuan shifted his consciousness to open the Beast Editor to identify its new attributes after the transformation.
Spiritual Oceanic White Jiao: Five Stars
Beast Level: Gold (High)
Ability 1: Spiritual Jiao Aspect 1v3 (Five Stars)
Spiritual Jiao Aspect can resist most attacks with the Magic Element.
Its strength, speed, and resilience have improved to some extent as well.
Ability 2: Spiritual Jiao Combat Technique 1v1 (Five Stars)
This is the inheritance from the Spiritual Jiao species it has got in the evolution. This inheritance contains many secret techniques and combat techniques of the Spiritual Jiao species.
If it chooses to cultivate the secret techniques and combat techniques involved in the inheritance, it will master them very quickly.
Ability 3, 4, 5, 6: Riding on a Cloud, Raising Winds and Waves, Making Clouds and Bringing Rain, and Overturning Seas and Rivers
These four are innate abilities of Spiritual Jiaos.
And their grades are all five-star.
Compared to other species that can exert the same abilities, Spiritual Jiaos are much more powerful.
Ability 6: Size Manipulation 1v1 (Five Stars)
The Spiritual Oceanic White Jiao can change its size as it wishes. It can enlarge itself by five times at most for now.
And it can shrink itself by five times at most as well.
As it gets more skilled, it can enlarge or shrink itself even more.
Ye Xuan identified the attributes of the Spiritual Oceanic White Jiao right away.
“Has it achieved the high Gold level as expected?”
Ye Xuan was a little excited when he had identified the attributes of the Spiritual Oceanic White Jiao.
Every time he edited its beast.
He almost always could make it upgrade from the low level to the high level of the same state.
Of course, the point was not the enhancement of cultivation level.
The point was the transformation of its grade.
The three-star Oceanic White Carp Jiao evolved into the five-star Spiritual Oceanic White Jiao.
It would be completely different from then on.
Besides, one of its techniques, the Spiritual Jiao Combat Technique, was very similar to the Tyrannosaurus’s Spiritual Jiao Combat Technique and Lil Wan’s Divine Techniques of the Elves.
It contained many abilities.
As long as it wanted, it could keep mastering new abilities.
“Great!”
Ye Xuan beamed.
He actually could not learn about the Spiritual Oceanic White Jiao’s new abilities too well just from its attribute list.
But he believed if he sent it out and let it fight, it would not disappoint him for sure.
In addition to that, the Spiritual Oceanic White Jiao’s look was completely different from the Oceanic White Carp Jiao’s look.
It looked much better than before.
“Anything wrong?”
Lin Shiru asked. She noticed the change in Ye Xuan’s expression.
“Nothing.”
Ye Xuan shook his head.
Then he sent a dash of his consciousness into his Spirit Ocean.
He saw his Spirit Ocean was much bigger as the Oceanic White Carp Jiao leveled up.
He was already on the verge of achieving the Gold level.
Ye Xuan had thought to achieve the Gold level, he might have to wait for one or two days after the Oceanic White Carp Jiao’s level-up.
But it seemed he did not have to wait for so long at all.
Judging from the expansion of his Spirit Ocean, he figured it would only take him ten-odd minutes.
He felt really happy when he had realized that.
That was the Gold level!
That was what he had been dreamed of, and he was going to achieve it so soon?
He focused his consciousness on the Spiritual Oceanic White Jiao again, appreciating its ability.
“You are so mysterious.”
Lin Shiru threw Ye Xuan a look. Then she went on cooking.
Ye Xuan was just watching her busy with the cooking.
He was going to give her a surprise when he achieved the Gold level for real.
“Done.”
Ten-odd minutes passed quickly.
Lin Shiru cleaned up the kitchen and brought two bowls of dumplings out.
It was too late, so she did not cook any time-consuming dishes.
She only made some dumplings.
It would take average people a lot of time to do that.
But with her strength, it was an easy task.
Strong people could even cook faster.
She put a bowl of dumplings in front of Ye Xuan.
And she put the other bowl in front of herself.
“Yummy!”
Ye Xuan picked one dumpling up and put it into his mouth right away.
Buzz!
However, as soon as he swallowed the dumpling, his face suddenly froze.
At the same time, a wisp of Mind Energy flowed out from the center of his forehead.
“What’s wrong?”
Lin Shiru had just sat down. She was struck dumb by Ye Xuan’s reaction.
