110: Evolutionary Mutation
After Xie Ning left, Mo Yu took the male student, first exchanged some Evolution Materials, and then went to a Nurturing Room.
Inside the Nurturing Room, only Instructor Ruan Qiong was present, busy sorting through a pile of Materials.
"Why did you take so long?" Instructor Ruan Qiong asked while organizing the Materials.
Mo Yu: "I just ran into Master at the Mission Hall and chatted for a bit."
"Xie Ning?"
"Yeah, my Master went to take a mission, but those guys..."
Mo Yu briefly recounted the events.
"I see. Then why didn't you introduce Little Liu to your Master? It would have helped lighten my workload." Ruan Qiong asked again.
"I thought about it, but this student looked down on my Master, and we parted on bad terms." After Mo Yu finished speaking, she glared at the male student.
The other party scoffed again, but when Ruan Qiong looked over, he quickly corrected his posture and said seriously, "Aunt Ruan, that person is just a student, and from the Monster Taming Academy at that. I think it's more reliable to entrust the evolution to Aunt Ruan."
"Is that so? That's a real shame..."
It was unclear for whom she felt regret.
The topic ended, and the two began preparing for the evolution. The idle male student picked up his phone and started playing a game.
In less than ten minutes, the Evolution Materials were ready.
After bringing the Golden Monkey into the Evolution Chamber, preparing the Evolution Materials accordingly—either applied or consumed—the three observed its transformation through the thick glass.
The male student, referred to as Little Liu, no longer cared about winning or losing the game and stared intently at the Golden Monkey.
Thinking of the words Xie Ning had spoken before leaving, Mo Yu suddenly asked, "Teacher, is the success rate for this evolution high?"
"Too many factors influence evolution; it's hard to determine the rate of success." Ruan Qiong explained, then looked at Mo Yu, "Why are you suddenly asking this?"
Mo Yu thought for a moment and repeated what Xie Ning had said earlier.
"Is that so? Could it be..." Ruan Qiong frowned slightly. She picked up the Demon Tamers Beast Parameters in her hand, looked at them, and then glanced at the Golden Monkey inside the Evolution Chamber. Suddenly, her pupils contracted, and she exclaimed, "This is bad!"
"Xiao Yu! Quickly grab the tranquilizer..." She stepped forward quickly and opened the chamber door.
Bang!
"Teacher, be careful!"
Boom!
A black and red figure burst out the door, letting out a painful roar!
...Inside Lingnan City.
Xie Ning had just left the Monster Taming Alliance and was riding his Poison Flame White Wolf towards Lingnan Academy at a leisurely pace.
After completing several missions, he had only accumulated 85 Points, still a distance from exchanging them for a good sword.
He had thought he could buy a good sword at the Monster Taming Alliance or a large Chamber of Commerce, but who knew... money couldn't buy a Great Sword.
Thinking this, Xie Ning had already passed the Bustling Area, and the surrounding environment gradually became dilapidated.
Just then, a commotion of fighting and shouting erupted ahead. As two figures maneuvered and fought, one figure was chased and fled toward Xie Ning.
He frowned slightly, preparing to let Bai Ya walk around to avoid getting involved in the fight.
"Xie Ning! Save me quickly!"
A slightly familiar voice came through.
When Xie Ning clearly saw the person approaching, he was quite surprised.
This person was none other than the Protection Fee Intermediary, Fei Shanqiu.
The person chasing Fei Shanqiu was a tall, thin figure in black clothes, holding a Dagger, with black mist swirling around him, clearly empowered by some kind of Demon Tamers Beast.
Looking at the two figures approaching, Xie Ning raised an eyebrow and asked with a smile, "Why should I save you? Haven't you had enough games?"
"Damn it! This time it's real! If you don't save me, I'll die here!" Fei Shanqiu narrowly avoided a Dagger, waved his hand, and a Water Blade slashed out, but it only hit a dark shadow.
The next second, a Black Light appeared behind him, a Dagger thrust straight at his neck, and a hoarse voice rang out:
"Die!"
"Go to hell!" Water Pillars erupted around Fei Shanqiu, forcing the Black Light back, but the next second the Black Light reappeared and attacked him.
The fight was full of peril. Fei Shanqiu would just repel the opponent, only for him to latch on again the next second. If he tried to escape, he was instantly pursued.
"What the hell kind of Demon Tamers Beast do you have? Why are you staring at Fatty instead of killing someone valuable with it?!"
"Hmph!"
Soon, several bloody cuts appeared on Fei Shanqiu's body. Blood flowed down, leaving wet footprints, and his movements became slower and slower.
"Save me quickly!" he shouted at Xie Ning. With a moment of Divided Soul, he was almost stabbed by the Dagger again.
Xie Ning did not rush forward rashly but asked, "Why should I save you?"
"I'm useful! There's no news in the entire Lingnan Academy that I don't know! I can tell you anything you want to know from now on! I won't hide anything!" Fei Shanqiu missed a move, was kicked to the ground by the man in black, spat out a mouthful of blood, and said in a panic.
Xie Ning: "Deal."
Just as the man in black's Dagger was about to stab Fei Shanqiu, the air beside him vibrated slightly, knocking him flying.
The man in black braced himself on the ground and stood up. Blood oozed from the black cloth and dripped onto the ground. He stared intently at Xie Ning: "Don't seek death!"
"I didn't want to get involved either, but he happens to be my classmate." Xie Ning finished speaking, looked at Fei Shanqiu, and said, "I saved your life, so remember that you owe me. Otherwise, the next person chasing you will be me."
"I know! I know!" Fei Shanqiu roared resentfully, then passed out.
Seeing this, the man in black narrowed his eyes. The next second, he transformed into Black Light again and rushed toward Fei Shanqiu, intending to kill him and escape.
Unexpectedly, a Silver Armor Demon Tamers Beast blocked his path first.
"So fast!" Seeing the Blade Arm strike, the man in black's pupils instantly contracted. The Black Light intensified and vanished without a trace.
The Silver Armor Yao Beast disappeared along with it.
Bang! Bang! Bang... Black Light exploded in the air intermittently, and Space Vibration occurred. Before one wave subsided, another rose, the speed reaching its extreme limit.
Even Xie Ning found it somewhat difficult to follow.
In just a few seconds, the two sides exchanged blows at least ten times. With a 'slash' sound, the Black Light fell to the ground, a long bloody gash cut across its abdomen. It stared unwillingly at the Silver Armor Demon Tamers Beast and Xie Ning.
"Damn it!"
The man in black opened his mouth, but the sound that came out was completely different from before. He immediately became alert and then said in a hoarse voice, "Next time, you won't be so lucky!"
He immediately transformed into Black Light, swept across the night sky, and disappeared from view.
"That voice..." Xie Ning frowned, thought for a moment, and instructed, "Little Mantis, follow him. Don't let him discover you."
"Yes!" Little Mantis, clad in silver armor, nodded. With a pull of its Twin Blades, it vanished into space, disappearing without a trace.
"I want to see what kind of performance this is!"
Xie Ning looked in the direction the Black Light had vanished, frowning, lost in thought, until he was startled back to reality by snoring. He looked at Fei Shanqiu, who was bleeding profusely but fast asleep, and shook his head helplessly: "I almost forgot about you."
He hooked his foot, kicked the two-hundred-plus-pound Fei Shanqiu onto Bai Ya's back, then flipped onto the wolf himself and sped up toward the academy.
