Jiang Xing often feeds wild Pet Beast, attracting many Pet Beast groups to settle around the institute.
There is the chubby Dandelion Squirrel family with body hair as fluffy as dandelions; there is the petite Little Gold Sparrow family with golden tail feathers; there is the Willow-Leaf Rabbit family with white and green colors and ears like willow leaves...
On this day, all these wild Pet Beast groups gathered in front of the open space of the research institute in a large and mighty manner.
They were neither noisy nor fussy, but were quietly listening to a young man's words--
"... I would like to invite you as an audience to attend this conference and watch the performance of Ugly Water Chicken."
"During the performance, it is up to you to decide whether to give the "feather" to the performer."
"Even if you don't want to give away "feathers" or feel offended, I hope you can control your emotions."
"They don't actually mean any harm."
Jiang Xing said, opening the box next to him, revealing layers of feathers of different colors inside.
These feathers are all [props] made by him.
Of course, although they are said to be props, these feathers actually do not contain much power. Each feather is made using only half a Qilin Fur and a few accessories.
The effect is to bring about a weak Affinity... so weak that it can be ignored.
It is a work used by Jiang Xing for practice.
At this time, these feathers replaced "Hundred Birds Feather" in the Legendary story and became a symbol of recognition for these wild Pet Beast.
After receiving two or three feathers each, they either spread their wings and flew, or jumped up and down, and came to the edge of the lake.
When each Pet Beast group is in place.
The open space, woods, and lakes next to the evolution stage are crowded with all kinds of Pet Beast.
There are even Rainbow Dragon Cubs flying in the sky, building momentum for the stage.
This kind of scene where all the beasts gather together really feels a bit like Mythical.
It's a pity that no one can see this scene except Jiang Xing.
Fortunately, Jiang Xing installed several cameras. At this time, the power was turned on and the scene was recorded from multiple angles.
"I remember that in Spirit World, there was Grand Festival whose goal was to show the beauty of elves, similar to a beauty contest. There were even some Coordinators that specialized in improving elves Gorgeousness and pursuing Grand Festival Champion..."
In fact, Beast Taming World also has soil suitable for Grand Festival.
Just like Golden-Veined Koi, it is the most classic "ornamental type" Pet Beast. Even the evolved form of Rainbow Dragon Cub has a beautiful appearance and is very suitable for participating in Grand Festival.
Moreover, Grand Festival does not only focus on appearance. Condition, move proficiency, coordination ability... are all within the evaluation criteria.
The core is to test the training ability of the trainer.
"If I prove and publish the existence of values such as Beauty Condition, it will attract attention..."
"Grand Festival might really be born in the future."
"When the time comes, tracing back to the source, this Hundred Birds Paying Homage to the Phoenix Tournament will be the originator of Grand Festival!"
Thinking of this, Jiang Xing felt a little more missionary, opened [Mental Field Generator], and spoke.
"Let's begin, usher in the transformation and blooming of Evolution Assembly!"
"Please invite Contestant No. 1 to the stage!"
As the voice fell, all Ugly Water Chicken turned their chicken heads and their eyes fell on one Ugly Water Chicken.
There is a round sign hanging around its neck, and the mark on it is clearly "001".
Well, the process of this Hundred Birds Paying Homage to the Phoenix Tournament imitates a beauty pageant--
After all, if more than three hundred Ugly Water Chicken all come on stage, all Ugliness Talent are activated together, and coupled with the strengthening of the spiritual field...
That would really be a mocking meeting of hundreds of chickens.
In order to avoid losing control, all Ugly Water Chicken are also given a chance.
Jiang Xing chose the method of random lottery and taking turns to take the stage.
At this time, in front of everyone, this Ugly Water Chicken stood frozen in place.
It seemed to feel that countless eyes were falling on it as if they were real.
Ugly Water Chicken Have you ever seen such a posture before?
These gazes are like a mountain, weighing it down and making it difficult to move and unable to move at all.
The scene fell into silence for a while.
A few dozen seconds passed.
Just when Jiang Xing thought that the conference had failed just after it started, Ugly Water Chicken still needed some time to sharpen their mentality again...
This Ugly Water Chicken finally moved.
It walked slowly but firmly along the slope next to the stage and walked onto the stage step by step.
It is not the most Brave, but the first A-Ji to take the first step.
Even its proficiency in Seduce moves is average, not top-notch.
It's just an ordinary Ugly Water Chicken.
But...
Even the ordinary Ugly Water Chicken once gazed longingly at the clear sky and fantasized about the feeling of flying.
Now that I have come to the institute, now that I have chosen this path.
No matter how difficult it is, it will have the courage to try.
At this time, it stood on the stage and looked down.
The second level is coming--
When he was in the audience, what Ugly Water Chicken was most concerned about was undoubtedly the wild Pet Beast audience.
Just imagining their disgusted looks, Ugly Water Chicken couldn't help but think of past experiences and tremble with fear.
But when it actually stood on the stage, it found that those wild Pet Beast had "disappeared".
What really occupies all its thoughts are the hundreds of closest and most conspicuous ones of its kind!
This is exactly the scene Jiang Xing deliberately created.
Hundreds of Ugly Water Chicken are watching the battle below. Ugliness Talent has superimposed mental field effects. The Ugly Water Chicken on the stage have no thoughts at all and care about the wild Pet Beast.
The only thing they can notice is their own kind!
In other words, there is only the enhanced "Ugliness" Talent!
Just like the original Dragon Gate Dragon Might, this is the real experience of this Hundred Birds Paying Homage to the Phoenix Tournament!
If it wants to express itself, it must first resist the disgust brought by Ugliness and completely defeat the influence of Talent!
and--
Overcome the past.
When many Ugliness Talent were superimposed, Ugly Water Chicken held his breath, like a revolving door, all past experiences flashed through his mind.
The scene of being abandoned by his mother, his long-standing inferiority complex, his disgust for himself, and his disgust for his fellow humans all came to mind.
It turned around subconsciously, picked up its head, and wanted to escape into the lake behind it.
However, just before jumping off the stage, it stopped.
After all, it was this period of hard work that produced results.
For Ugliness Talent, it already has a considerable degree of resistance and has not completely occupied its mind.
Most importantly, the desire for evolution completely outweighed these influences.
It doesn't want to retreat, and it doesn't dare to retreat.
If you retreat, you may never be able to move forward again.
It turned around and twisted violently under the influence of Ugliness Talent.
The natural Ugliness can no longer be affected!
This is it Beauty!
"Goo!"
This stage of evolution is mainly a test of will, helping Ugly Water Chicken pass the final threshold and completely defeat the influence of Talent.
Ugly Water Chicken was struggling for a long time. To the wild Pet Beast, it looked like it was moving slowly and slowly on the stage... Suddenly it was scared away again. When it was about to jump off the stage, it froze in place again... After a while, it started to twist...
To be honest, it's a bit baffling.
Only the nearest Ugly Water Chickens can empathize with it.
Seeing this dancing Ugly Water Chicken, the Ugly Water Chickens in the audience couldn't help but shed tears of emotion.
Although this Ugly Water Chicken danced very poorly due to mental stress, the effect of Seduce's moves was less than one-tenth at most.
But it successfully offset the impact of Ugliness.
The Ugly Water Chickens in the audience raised their wings one after another and threw their feathers out--
In addition to being contestants, they were also spectators, and they also received feathers.
--At this time, throwing out feathers represents their approval.
In the eyes of the dancing Ugly Water Chicken, there are only the same kind in the audience.
When it saw feathers flying from the audience, its heart was touched, and the trauma left by the past was gradually covered by these new faces.
It's not the mother's fault that it was abandoned...
The root of everything is this natural "curse".
Now that it has transcended this curse, no matter what the outcome is, it can prevent future generations from experiencing this anymore.
Deep down in its heart, it is completely reconciled with the past.
In an instant, white light bloomed!
The white light representing evolution illuminated the surprised eyes of Ugly Water Chicken, Dandelion Squirrel, Sweet Attendant... all Pet Beast.
When the white light dims, a dazzling and beautiful bird appears on the stage!
It has a slender neck and a slender body, showing off its elegant figure.
It is covered with feathers of strange colors, has tail feathers like a long skirt, and spreads its wings as if it is a huge feather fan.
Under the sunlight, Strange Feather on its body is constantly changing colors, reflecting brilliant light.
The invisible power spread, and all Pet Beast were immersed in this scene, completely losing their voices, leaving only one last thought -
So beautiful.
