Beast Taming Patrol

At present, only Lin Su himself and his beast knew he could traverse between two worlds, which allowed them to communicate through telepathy— a method that was both more secretive and safer.

The two beasts exchanged a glance, seeming to understand each other instantly, and began speaking through telepathy as well.

"Return to Shenwu!"

After recalling the two beasts back into the Beast Taming Space, Lin Su washed up briefly and lay down on the bed, immediately closing his eyes.

Today's practical assessment held no suspense for him; he hadn't even paid much attention to it. However, his conversation with Qin Nan last night had left him particularly shaken, and he hadn't calmed down fully even now.

Tomorrow, he would officially test Qiuqiu with Qin Nan and was still uncertain if any issues would arise.

After all, Qiuqiu's species and tier were of the medium commander class, exactly within the restrictions of the Alien Beast Ban. If Qin Nan discovered this, it could potentially lead to complications.

With a slight worry, Lin Su quickly fell into a deep sleep with the help of Qiuqiu's hypnosis.

...

Having slept through the night unaware of the tumultuous events, Lin Su had no idea that the internet had erupted in chaos at that moment.

Mountain City University had always ranked among the top five in overall strength across the alliance and had recently shone in the breeding results competition with Lin Su's proposal of Spirit evolution techniques, elevating its overall strength score and posing a threat to the second-ranked Central Heaven University.

Such a prestigious Beast Tamer University naturally drew considerable attention to its entrance examination.

Typically, those who followed the entrance exam of Beast Tamer University were related to the education sector, while people in other industries did not pay much attention.

However, this year's entrance exam was different, as at its onset, media had reported that Lin Su, a researcher from Mountain City University, would participate as a high school senior.

The name Lin Su, while not recognized by the entire alliance, was certainly well-known to anyone who frequently used the internet.

Only eighteen years old and not yet a student at Beast Tamer University, he had already become the youngest researcher at Mountain City University and had developed a Spirit evolution technique on his own, pioneering a new path in the research field for beast evolution.

Because of such a unique applicant, this year's Mountain City University entrance examination attracted even higher attention.

And this attention, after the practical examination, was completely ignited by an unexpected piece of news.

Lin Su's Frost Flower Dream Shadow had evolved?

Frost Flower Dream Shadow now had an evolution form?

And...that evolutionary form had leaped four minor tiers to a lower monarch species?!

This news sounded more mystical than the last, and those who were unaware might think it was some novel internet scam.

But as numerous candidates who took part in the examination affirmed that they had witnessed it with their own eyes and that it was indeed true, the matter escalated rapidly, seizing the top spot on social media trending searches almost instantly.

At that moment, everyone had the same question in their minds.

Is it true?

The internet is not forgetful.

Just a month ago, Lin Su's statement about trying to research an evolution form for Frost Flower Dream Shadow still rang in the ears of netizens.

Now, they were being told that Frost Flower Dream Shadow's evolution form was already a reality?

An evolution form researched in just one month?

Had Lin Su not been preparing for the entrance exam this past month?

Could he really be that brilliant?

Something that so many researchers couldn't achieve, he had managed in just a month?

The voices of doubt grew louder, on the brink of causing a massive online upheaval, but they were quelled by the reveal of an image.

It was the last page of the newest Species Atlas in the official archives of the Yan Huang Alliance.

Frost Flower Dream Shadow's evolution form!

IAM-0813, Frost Flower Dream Shadow!

Being officially recognized, naturally, there were no more doubts.

Frost Flower Dream Shadow truly had an evolutionary form, and upon evolution, it had upgraded from an elite species to a monarch species.

This was of monumental significance to the research community, possibly even surpassing the previous breakthrough in Spirit evolution techniques.

Because it shattered many established beliefs, perhaps, in future research, researchers' sights would not be limited to advancements beyond three minor tiers but could aim even higher.

Of course, the situation in the research community was not so easily accessible for ordinary Beast Tamers; to them, the public revelation of Frost Flower Dream Shadow's evolution form had more direct consequences.

That night, the price of Frost Flower Dream Shadow soared dramatically.

...

"Hey, hey, have you heard? It seems someone discovered an evolution form for Frost Flower Dream Shadow, it's a lower monarch species."

"A lower monarch species? Four minor tiers? Then this person must be high on the bounty list."

"It's already there. The person who found it is Lin Su."

"Huh?"

In an underground palace as vast and intricate as an anthill, people whispered continuously in a spacious hall.

A somewhat tall and skinny man with glasses, looking quite scholarly, had a warm smile on his face as he walked through the crowd, their whispers reaching his ears in that moment.

An evolution that spanned four minor tiers?

The man's eyes flashed subtly, and he walked unhurried toward a certain bar, smiling as he spoke, "Has the bounty list been refreshed?"

"Head Han, who are you looking for?" the person at the bar recognized the man instantly and spoke with a humble smile, "It's past midnight, so naturally, it's refreshed."

"Lin Su." The man's smile flickered as he pronounced Lin Su's name.

"Let me check." The person at the bar quickly checked the bounty list on a specially made device, eyes widening slightly, "His bounty went from fifty thousand Immortal Points to a hundred and sixty thousand, just now."

"As expected," the man's expression barely changed, "Mark it according to the rules. I, Han Wang, accept this bounty."

"Understood." The person at the bar flicked his fingers respectfully, speaking, "Done. As per your confirmation, the bounty will remain hidden until you report the task as failed or completed."

"I should remind you, according to the bounty execution records, previously in District 32, one deacon and three congregants acted together and failed to kill Lin Su. Please be cautious."

"I've heard." Han Wang's eyes flashed with disdain, "Solving problems sometimes requires more than just strength."

Touching his temple with a finger, Han Wang did not speak, but his intentions were perfectly clear.

"Then, I wish you a successful mission, and may the Holy Sect endure forever."

Han Wang turned and left, his warm smile returning.

"May the Holy Sect endure forever."
