<strong>Chapter 25</strong><strong></strong><strong>Kill the ck Iron-Level Candle Spider and Prepare the Evolution Materials!</strong>
“Hiss!”
Just as Bai Zian was organizing his gains from the past week, a hissing sound appeared in front of him. It was a Candlefire Spider.
Unlike the previous ones, this Candlefire Spider was muchrger, about the size of a small calf.
[Species]: Candlefire Spider (Fire Type)
[Level]: Primary ck Iron
[Talent]: Candlelight (F)
[Qualification]: Primary ck Iron
[Skills]: Flickering Candlefire (White), Scorching Spider Silk (White)
This was an adult Candlefire Spider, fully grown and possessing the power of a Primary ck Iron creature. If it appeared in the outside world, it might stir up some trouble, as a ck Iron-ranked spirit beast could cause significant problems.
However, Bai Zian remained calm and directlymanded Bai Linyu to attack.
[Water Stream Burst.].
Upon receiving Bai Zian’smand, Bai Linyu, surrounded by its foamyer, instantly unleashed a terrifying attack. A water pir as thick as a barrel shot out and sted towards the Candlefire Spider.
<strong><em>Boom!</em></strong>
With a loud sound, the Candlefire Spider was instantly shattered.
The ck Iron-ranked Candlefire Spider couldn’t even withstand a single blow from Bai Linyu. The power of this attack seemed astonishing, but Bai Zian’s expression remained calm and indifferent, as this was far from the first time he had seen such a scene.
To be honest, Bai Linyu had a huge advantage over these fire-element Candlefire Spiders. Moreover, Bai Linyu was using a blue-grade skill, [Water Stream Burst], a mid-level skill, which naturally had such an effect.
Of course, the most important reason was Bai Linyu’s sheer strength. Cross-realm battles were normal for Bai Linyu.
Speaking of this, Bai Zian couldn’t help but think about Bai Linyu’s truebat power.
In fact, Bai Linyu’s realbat capability was extremely formidable.
Bai Zian had tested it before. When Bai Linyu fought at full power, it could take down a mid-level ck Iron-ranked Candlefire Spider.
Although it couldn’t one-shot such a spider, a prolonged fight would suffice. For a creature of Bai Linyu’s low sixth rank to defeat a mid-level ck Iron-ranked creature was already quite astonishing.
However, this was specifically against fire-type spirit beasts, where Bai Linyu had a natural advantage.
Against other types of spirit beasts, it could likely only defeat Primary ck Iron-ranked creatures.
This was Bai Linyu’s truebat power.
“At this rate, in about another week, Bai Linyu should be able to reach the ninth rank. It’s time to prepare its evolution materials.”
After evaluating Bai Linyu’s growth over the past week, Bai Zian began nning for the future.
At Bai Linyu’s current growth speed, it would soon reach the ninth rank of its current level. By then, Bai Linyu could attempt to break through to the ck Iron level and undergo its first evolution. All the evolution materials needed to be prepared in advance.
“Sister Bai Zhi, please contact home for me.”
With that thought, Bai Zian called for his guardian, Bai Shao.
“Yes, Young Master Zian.”
The icy beauty Bai Zhi appeared instantly beside Bai Zian, holding a silver-white snail in her hand.
This was themunication tool of the Beast World—a snail spirit beast modified for long-distancemunication,monly known as the “phone snail.”
“No matter how many times I see this, it still feels like the Phone Snail from One Piece*,” Bai Zian couldn’t help but mutter to himself.
<em>[*A famous anime with 1000+ episodes</em><em>].</em>
The resemnce was just too uncanny. The only difference was that this one couldn’t mimic the person on the other end of the call. In every other aspect, it functioned the same.
“It’s Xiao An. How’s your training been goingtely?”
When the call connected, the voice of Bai Jingchong, his grandfather, came through the phone snail.
“Not quite like being at home, but how have you been, Grandpa?”
Bai Zian smiled and inquired about his grandfather’s health before quickly moving on to the main topic.
“Grandpa, I need a few things. Could you help me prepare them? Including the heart of the White Shadow Whale…”
Bai Zian quickly listed the materials he needed.
“Wait a minute, Xiao An, are these evolution materials? Are you nning on evolving Bai Linyu in a different direction?”
“Xiao An, you can’t be reckless. I won’t allow you to make such a decision,” Bai Jingchong responded with concern after hearing Bai Zian’s request.
Bai Jingchong quickly realized that these materials were for evolution but not for the usual evolutionary path of the Red-Eyed Goldfin Fish.
<em>Is Bai Zian intending to evolve Bai Linyu into something entirely different? That would be an extremely risky move.</em>
A mature evolutionary chain was formed through generations of research and practice, which was why powerful families and sects had flourished. Their secret evolutionary chains were their greatest assets and heritage.
The Bai family had an evolution chain that could guarantee Bai Linyu’s evolution to the Diamond level. That was already a very strong chain.
If Bai Zian recklessly changed the chain, unexpected results might ur. If the evolution went wrong, Bai Linyu might be stuck at the ck Iron or Bronze level. Bai Jingchong could not allow that.
“Grandpa, I have a special reason for this decision,” Bai Zian said calmly. “When I visited the treasury, I saw the heart of the White Shadow Whale. At that moment, I had a strong intuition that the heart was perfectly suited for Bai Linyu.”
Bai Zian had anticipated his grandfather’s opposition.
After all, anyone familiar with Beast Taming knew the value of evolutionary chains. Venturing onto an entirely new evolutionary path was incredibly risky, a fact known to all in the Beast World.
However, for Bai Zian, this rule didn’t apply, because Bai Zian was someone with a cheat code.
With his Mythical-Level Talent, [Eye of Revtion], Bai Zian could obtain heavenly insights and view all possible evolution paths of any creature.
This was Bai Zian’s true trump card.
