249: Advance extraordinary resources and transform the green snake into a dragon!

"Alright then."

Fang Ran perhaps realized that he was indeed asking for too much.

"I'll advance them first, and pay him back after winning the championship!" Fang Ran thought to himself.

Immediately, he looked at the Green Snake.

"Advance materials for changing the Transcendent-level evolution path!"

[Advancing materials for changing the Transcendent-level evolution path!]

[Obtained: Dragon Saliva Grass, Ten Thousand Beast Spirit Bath, Wind-Thunder Fruit, Dragon Fish Scales, Iron Eagle Scales...]

Among these resources, all were scales and armor from high-level ferocious beasts!

Their price was extremely high, and they were very difficult to purchase.

"Clatter!"

Fang Ran opened his Beast Taming Space and poured them all onto the table nearby.

"Are we not using a medicinal bath this time?" the Green Snake asked.

"Not necessary, but it does need to shed its skin," Fang Ran said.

Immediately, he ground the medicinal agents in order, then instructed the Green Snake to ingest them sequentially.

Within just ten minutes, layers of snake skin began to grow on its body.

The snake skin wrapped around its body, completely adhering to it.

"Removing the snake skin counts as shedding the snake body; from now on, you will be a Jiao."

Fang Ran smoothly placed it on his lap.

"I will help you pull off the snake skin."

"Mm," the Green Snake said quietly.

Its body was weak; relying on itself, it would be very difficult to shed the snake body.

Fang Ran found the opening and, starting from the tail, slowly peeled away the snake skin.

Underneath, extremely beautiful scales emerged. Their luster was brilliant, and they were arranged so neatly that one could immediately feel their high quality!

It was just like the difference between plastic and metal!

"Roar~"

The Green Snake let out a low roar in Fang Ran's embrace.

Its tail, with half the snake skin shed, subconsciously wrapped around Fang Ran's waist.

Unknowingly, its entire body had coiled around Fang Ran, seemingly to alleviate some of the pain.

Fang Ran could also clearly feel its trembling body.

"That's good; the new skin also needs desensitization."

Fang Ran had to do it with his own hands!

Two hours later, snake skin was piled up on the ground.

A brand-new Jiao Dragon appeared before Fang Ran!

And at this moment, "I'm done training."

Xiao Tian left the Beast Taming Space and let out a long sigh of relief.

Immediately, she saw the Green Snake and Fang Ran being affectionate, entangled together inseparably.

She subconsciously clenched her fists, then slowly said, "Fang Ran, what are you doing?"

"I am helping it shed its snake body to change its Transcendent-level evolution path," Fang Ran said solemnly.

By this time, the snake skin had been shed.

The rejuvenated Green Snake also realized its current state.

It hurriedly slithered off Fang Ran's body and jumped to the side.

Did it actually have a dependency on Fang Ran as its master?

"It's already halfway done; next, it needs to bathe in beast blood..."

"I'll do it, just tell me the evolution steps!" Xiao Tian grabbed Fang Ran's wrist.

He instantly felt clamped by a force.

"Go ahead, Master," Xiao Tian said with a smile.

"Uh... like this, first let it ingest..." Fang Ran narrated it once.

The steps were not complicated.

He could do it, and Xiao Tian, being a deity, could complete it even more perfectly.

"Xiao Tian shouldn't be up to any mischief, right?" This thought popped into Fang Ran's mind.

He hurriedly chased it out of his head.

Impossible! He had spent so long with Xiao Tian.

How could he not know what kind of person she was?

"No need, I'll do it myself," the Green Snake said slowly.

Then, it coiled up the resources and headed toward the room designated for evolution.

"You're at Transcendent Mid-Stage?" Fang Ran only then noticed Xiao Tian's rank.

"Mm," Xiao Tian smiled.

"That's good. The day after tomorrow is the start of the National Pet-Taming Competition, and the location is also in the Imperial Capital."

"These days, accelerate the training of your innate skills and try to reach the goal."

Hearing Fang Ran's instructions, Xiao Tian nodded obediently again.

One day passed. The number of visitors coming to the door was countless.

Some were turned away by his Aunt and Uncle, but for some Extraordinary Beast Tamers, Fang Ran had to receive them personally.

In their hands, more or less, they all brought gifts worth hundreds of thousands or millions.

Basically, they were all nearby Extraordinary Beast Tamers.

Among them were also some mutants.

"Your promotion speed is very fast; your mental power must be very strong now, right?" Feng Ling asked.

"Yes, it has reached 50 points!" Fang Ran said with a smile.

"50 points? That... isn't that the mental strength of a King-level?" Feng Ling was shocked.

Immediately, a trace of inexplicable emotion surged in her heart.

She tentatively asked, "50 points can allow you to contract a Transcendent Late Stage beast; do you have any plans?"

"Yes, and I have participated in a mental strengthening program."

Hearing Fang Ran's words, Feng Ling felt a wave of inexplicable loss in her heart and could only offer a smile.

The current Fang Ran was no longer the young man he used to be.

"In the National Pet-Taming Competition, if you can get first place, wouldn't you be able to get a pure-blooded Emperor cub?"

"I heard that there are many Transcendent Mid-Stage Beast Tamer participating, and they are all very difficult to deal with."

Feng Ling didn't know yet that Fang Ran had already promoted to Transcendent Mid-Stage.

"There's no way around it, I can't just surrender, right?"

After seeing Feng Ling off, Fang Ran shook his head.

How could he not know what she was thinking?

"Recently, there have been too many guests; there's no place to put all the things!" Aunt laughed until her face was flushed red.

"Thanks to our Ran, if it weren't for him, we would already be homeless!" Fang Qihua was very satisfied with Fang Ran.

Especially after learning that he had saved Yu City, he was even more proud of Fang Ran.

"This time, your competition opponents are no small matter; I heard they are all geniuses from top academies!"

"Aren't Ran's classmates all descendants of Emperor Beast Masters?" Sang Xuelan asked in surprise.

"But they are only Early Stage Extraordinary. Since they chose five people to compete, relying on individuals makes it impossible to win the championship."

This was exactly what Fang Qihua was worried about!

He wasn't afraid of Fang Ran having issues; he was afraid that his teammates would hold him back!

The current online forums had long since begun guessing who the final winner would be.

As for the Imperial Capital Academy, except for Fang Ran and the unknown Zhang Li, the other three were known quantities!

In other words, purely in terms of paper strength, among the fifteen participating teams, the Imperial Capital Academy could only rank outside the top five, and some even relegated them to roadside trash!

Some even said, "If it weren't for Fang, the Imperial Capital wouldn't even make it into the top ten."

"It's only by relying on Fang's own strength that the Imperial Capital Academy can be lifted into the top ten!"

Of course, the premise of all this was that Fang Ran was only an Early Stage Extraordinary Beast Tamer!

Now, he had long since promoted to Transcendent Mid-Stage, and Xiao Tian was also not what she used to be!

The next day, early in the morning.

"Master, my Snake Scales have already met the mission goal," Xiao Tian said, releasing the perfect Snake Scales.

Those bewitching Snake Scales circled around, making her look exceptionally enchanting.

"My Holy Power amplification, skill progress is faster; it won't take a day for another skill to reach the standard!"

Seeing Xiao Tian's increasingly confident appearance, Fang Ran smiled sincerely.

Strength was indeed a potent medicine, changing Xiao Tian's past worried and timid personality.
