Chapter Summaries

Jiang Xing lured the Lucky Cloud Qilin out with Energy Cubes and won it over by offering food without demanding a contract. The Qilin and Rainbow Dragon Cub feasted together, while Dr. Xu and Su Muli arranged to stay at the institute and Li Shun left without his daughter, Li Lingyin.

• Jiang Xing, Dr. Xu, and Su Muli used food and their pet beasts to reveal the invisible Lucky Cloud Qilin.
• The Lucky Cloud Qilin tried to play dead but gave in to its hunger and ate the Energy Cubes Jiang Xing offered.
• Jiang Xing told the Qilin its fur had already paid for its meals and promised to make even better food, persuading it to stay as an official guest.
• The Lucky Cloud Qilin shared half the lunchbox with the Rainbow Dragon Cub, and the two pet beasts ate together.
• Dr. Xu and Su Muli arranged to stay with Jiang Xing, while Li Shun left the institute and Li Lingyin remained behind.

Dr. Xu became the Lucky Cloud Qilin’s first observer while Jiang Xing organized research on the Golden-Veined Koi with help from Li Lingyin and Su Muli. After Su Muli urged him to prepare for the dangers of Secret Realms, Jiang Xing agreed to battle her, and they took their positions on the ice.

• Dr. Xu won the chance to observe the Lucky Cloud Qilin, while Su Muli and Jiang Xing yielded to him.
• Jiang Xing used the Rainbow Dragon Cub to gather the Golden-Veined Koi, and he, Li Lingyin, and Su Muli fed them and recorded their information.
• Jiang Xing postponed move training because he did not want to reveal his Move Tutor, a powerful Spirit Device, to his teacher and senior.
• Li Lingyin challenged Su Muli to a duel, but Su Muli defeated her easily and sent her to the research institute to bathe.
• Su Muli challenged Jiang Xing to fight and explained that he needed combat experience for exploring Secret Realms; Jiang Xing accepted.
• Jiang Xing put on Protective Gear and met the Rainbow Dragon Cub on the icy battlefield as their battle began.

Jiang Xing and Su Muli battled across the ice, where the Rainbow Dragon Cub’s Heart of Exhaustion repeatedly restored it despite Su Muli’s superior control. After its fourth revival forced Su Muli to surrender, Jiang Xing realized that trials of will could strengthen the Talent and considered adding Dragon Might to the Dragon Gate as a guaranteed path to evolution.

• Su Muli used her Thorn Sea Lizard to overwhelm Jiang Xing and the Rainbow Dragon Cub with a series of attacks.
• The Rainbow Dragon Cub activated Heart of Exhaustion and recovered, but Su Muli’s commands defeated it again and again.
• After the Talent activated for a fourth time, Su Muli used Intimidate, but Jiang Xing’s shout renewed the Rainbow Dragon Cub’s fighting spirit and triggered another recovery.
• Su Muli surrendered as the Rainbow Dragon Cub prepared to attack, while Li Lingyin watched the battle and was deeply shaken.
• Jiang Xing realized that the Rainbow Dragon Cub could draw strength from tests of will and considered adding Dragon Might to the Dragon Gate to guarantee evolution.

Jiang Xing revised his Golden-Veined Koi evolution plan to train their will with Dragon Might, while Li Lingyin learned from his cultivation expertise. After Dr. Xu left, he connected Jiang Xing with a master item craftsman who could turn his Qilin Fur into useful items.

• Jiang Xing proposed adding Dragon Might to the Dragon Gate evolution process, and Dr. Xu and Su Muli approved the idea.
• Dr. Xu gave Jiang Xing Dragon Might materials, and Su Muli's Storm Sea Lizard began training the Golden-Veined Koi while the Rainbow Dragon Cub learned the skill.
• Jiang Xing found that Golden-Veined Koi with Brave personalities could retain some fighting spirit under Dragon Might, strengthening his interest in their cultivation.
• Su Muli defeated Jiang Xing twice by using her Ice Sea Rabbit's Harmlessness skill to weaken the Rainbow Dragon Cub's fighting spirit.
• Dr. Xu left the research institute and gave Jiang Xing Master Jian's contact so he could have his Qilin Fur crafted into items.

Jiang Xing asked Craftsman Master Jian to make him protective clothing from the Lucky Cloud Qilin’s fur, and reassured her that the fur had been gifted rather than taken by force. Master Jian agreed to attempt the commission, while Jiang Xing arranged for Su Muli to deliver the materials from Yuzhong City to Modu City.

• Jiang Xing reviewed Master Jian’s list of props made from Qilin Fur and asked whether she could make him a set of protective clothing.
• Jiang Xing explained that the Lucky Cloud Qilin had gifted him a huge amount of fur after Master Jian feared he had hunted the Mythical creature’s cub.
• Master Jian agreed to try making the clothing and asked Jiang Xing to send the materials and a design.
• Jiang Xing arranged for Su Muli to deliver the fur and ordered additional props as gifts for the Rainbow Dragon Cub and the Lucky Cloud Qilin.
• Master Jian said Jiang Xing did not need to pay her and would settle the fee with Xu Hai.

Jiang Xing spent a busy half month at the research institute, where the Lucky Cloud Qilin and Rainbow Dragon Cub became close and Li Lingyin trained her Golden-Veined Koi against nearby Wild Pet Beasts. After every Golden-Veined Koi reached Low-Transcendental and qualified to evolve, Jiang Xing announced a public Dragon Gate Assembly at Yuzhong Waterfall.

• Su Muli left the institute with the Qilin Fur to deliver to Master Jian after the Rainbow Dragon Cub learned Dragon Might and could train the Golden-Veined Koi on its own.
• The Lucky Cloud Qilin shared Dragon Lychee Cubes with the Rainbow Dragon Cub, befriended it, and promised to take it to see the Azure Dragon.
• Li Lingyin trained her Golden-Veined Koi against nearby Wild Pet Beasts, while Jiang Xing healed the injured beasts and fed them.
• The Wild Pet Beasts helped around the institute, and Jiang Xing occasionally commanded them in low-risk matches against Li Lingyin’s Golden-Veined Koi.
• Jiang Xing used Move Tutor (Outrage) to speed up the koi’s training, and within half a month every Golden-Veined Koi reached Low-Transcendental and qualified for evolution.
• Jiang Xing announced a Dragon Gate Assembly at Yuzhong Waterfall for noon two days later, and his post reached the top of the trending charts within an hour.

Jiang Xing held the Dragon Gate Assembly at Yuzhong Waterfall to test whether a Golden-Veined Koi’s willpower, rather than merely passing through a rainbow, enabled it to evolve into a Rainbow Dragon Cub. After the first test produced no evolutions, he empowered the gate with the Rainbow Dragon Cub’s Dragon Might and began the crucial experiment.

• The Dragon Gate Assembly drew a huge crowd of tourists and powerful Beast Tamers to Yuzhong Waterfall, where officials prepared to maintain order.
• Jiang Xing summoned the Rainbow Dragon Cub, which formed a rainbow gate, and nearly a thousand Golden-Veined Koi surged upstream and leaped through it without evolving.
• The crowd panicked at the apparent failure, while a Psychic Type Champion’s Pet Beast prevented the spectators from stampeding.
• Jiang Xing revealed that the first gate was only a control test and instructed the Rainbow Dragon Cub to strengthen the rainbow gate with Dragon Might.
• Jiang Xing steadied his nerves with encouragement from his senior student and told the Rainbow Dragon Cub to begin the real experiment.

At the Dragon Gate Assembly, Golden-Veined Koi overcame the True Dragon’s Dragon Might and evolved into Rainbow Dragon Cubs, confirming that a Brave personality was necessary for their transformation. Jiang Xing’s experiment ended with the Personality Conjecture confirmed.

• The Golden-Veined Koi struggled to leap the Dragon Gate, and Zhao Renkai, Chang Feng, and the other Beast Tamers suspected they needed the will to resist Dragon Might.
• The koi repeatedly challenged the gate, gradually mastering Water Leap and overcoming their fear as tourists watched.
• Li Lingyin encouraged her Golden-Veined Koi through their contract, and it leaped over the gate and evolved into a Rainbow Dragon Cub.
• A second koi evolved soon after, followed by dozens and eventually over a hundred, creating a spectacular gathering of Rainbow Dragon Cubs.
• Zhao Renkai suggested renaming Yuzhong Waterfall Dragon Gate Waterfall, while Jiang Xing waited for the experiment to conclude.
• After all the koi either evolved or gave up, Jiang Xing concluded that a Brave personality was necessary for Golden-Veined Koi to transform into dragons, confirming the Personality Conjecture.

Jiang Xing extended the Dragon Gate Assembly to gather data on Golden-Veined Koi, and found that only Brave Yuyu had the courage needed to evolve into Rainbow Dragon Cubs. The assembly ended with more than three hundred dragons, including one evolved wild koi, prompting Zhao Renkai to anticipate new opportunities for commoner Beast Tamers.

• Jiang Xing extended the Dragon Gate Assembly to seven days and invited wild koi and owners' Golden-Veined Koi to participate, drawing tens of thousands of fish to Yuzhong Waterfall.
• Jiang Xing recorded how different koi temperaments responded to Dragon Might and concluded that willpower alone was insufficient; Golden-Veined Koi also needed courage to overcome fear and challenge a True Dragon.
• The assembly ended with more than three hundred Rainbow Dragon Cubs, most from Jiang Xing Research Institute, alongside two visitors' koi and one wild koi.
• Zhao Renkai recognized that wild Golden-Veined Koi could give commoner Beast Tamers a path to raise True Dragons, and Chang Feng noted that the Dragon Tamer Lineage supplied Dragon Attribute resources.

After proving the Personality Conjecture and documenting the Rainbow Dragon Cub’s evolution conditions and Fearless Heart talent, Jiang Xing submitted two papers to Dr. Xu. Dr. Xu recognized his qualifications for a Researcher Title and invited him to present his findings at the Magic City Evolution Assembly.

• Jiang Xing confirmed that Dragon Attribute energy and moves helped Golden-Veined Koi evolve but were not required, and he documented the Rainbow Dragon Cub’s Fearless Heart talent.
• Chang Feng proposed that Yuzhong City’s Beast Tamer School board high-potential Golden-Veined Koi with Jiang Xing for Novice Beast Tamers, and Jiang Xing agreed.
• Jiang Xing returned to the research institute, entrusted the dragon flock’s care to Li Lingyin, and completed papers on the Rainbow Dragon Cub’s evolution conditions and the Personality Conjecture.
• Jiang Xing submitted both papers to Dr. Xu, who praised his work and explained that he qualified to apply for a Researcher Title.
• Dr. Xu gave Jiang Xing an invitation to the Magic City Evolution Assembly, where he could present his results and compete for the Best Achievement Award.

Jiang Xing arrived in Modu City with Li Lingyin, the Lucky Cloud Qilin, and two dragons to attend the Magic City Evolution Assembly and visit Jian's Craftsman House. He met Master Jian, learned that some of his props were still unfinished, and was offered his completed Beast Taming Suit to try on.

• Jiang Xing and his companions used the Lucky Cloud Qilin's Invisibility to pass through the airport unnoticed.
• Jiang Xing decided to visit the Craftsman House first and considered finding a Pet Beast assistant before Li Lingyin left his research institute.
• Jiang Xing and Li Lingyin reached the towering Jian's Craftsman House and flew to its rooftop helipad on the Lucky Cloud Qilin.
• Master Jian greeted Jiang Xing and explained that his props were not all finished, but his clothing was ready.
• Master Jian asked Guoguo to fetch Jiang Xing's black-and-white Beast Taming Suit so he could try it on.

Jiang Xing received a powerful Beast Taming Suit from Master Jian and gave Li Lingyin a protective cap as a gift. Master Jian introduced her apprentice Jian Guoguo, who challenged Li Lingyin to a Beast Tamer battle, and Li Lingyin accepted.

• Jiang Xing tried on his new Beast Taming Suit, and Master Jian explained its defenses, speed enhancement, and ability to reduce Pet Beasts' wariness.
• Jiang Xing asked Master Jian to mail the enhancement items to his research institute and gave Li Lingyin a red-and-white Baseball Cap that protected against Psychic Type attacks.
• Li Lingyin thanked Jiang Xing and vowed to become a powerful Beast Tamer.
• Master Jian introduced her apprentice Jian Guoguo, who was also a Novice Beast Tamer, and proposed a battle between her and Li Lingyin.
• Jian Guoguo challenged Li Lingyin, and Li Lingyin turned her cap backward and accepted.

Jiang Xing helped Jian Guoguo prepare to raise a Golden-Veined Koi after Li Lingyin’s Rainbow Dragon Cub defeated her Craftsman Dog, then entered a newly formed Secret Realm to rescue a family trapped inside.

• Li Lingyin’s Rainbow Dragon Cub defeated Jian Guoguo’s Craftsman Dog, impressing Master Jian with its Heart of Exhaustion Talent.
• Jiang Xing agreed to help Jian Guoguo choose a Golden-Veined Koi and teach her how to raise it, while Master Jian arranged for a Dragon Gate in Magic City.
• Jiang Xing used his lottery ticket and received an ordinary Focus Band, which he planned to study and reproduce through his own craftsmanship.
• Jiang Xing accompanied Li Lingyin and Jian Guoguo to a Breeding House, where Jian Guoguo bought a Golden-Veined Koi and bonded with Li Lingyin.
• A Secret Realm swallowed a family of three from the sidewalk, and Jiang Xing entered it with the Lucky Cloud Qilin and Rainbow Dragon Cub while Li Lingyin called the police.

Jiang Xing rescued a family trapped in an Ultra-Micro Secret Realm and discovered that its Purple-Black Puppy was an undead Howl Dog. The family remained safe, and Jiang Xing had not yet found a way out of the realm.

• Jiang Xing entered the newly descended Secret Realm to protect a family of three from a Purple-Black Puppy.
• Jiang Xing and his Pet Beasts subdued the puppy before it could harm the family.
• The man recognized Jiang Xing as the evolved Golden-Veined Koi's creator and explained that his family had come to buy one for their son.
• Jiang Xing examined the puppy and searched the courtyard for clues about its identity.
• Jiang Xing found a child's skeleton and several small canine skeletons, realizing the Howl Dog had died and revived as an Undead Dog.

Jiang Xing helped a Purple-Black Puppy bury its former master's remains, then befriended it with food and learned it guarded the Secret Realm Core. After sending the fan family out, he agreed to visit and study the dog, but the system misidentified it as Buneary.

• Jiang Xing buried the bones of the child the Purple-Black Puppy had guarded and released it from Lucky Cloud Qilin's control.
• Jiang Xing offered the Purple-Black Puppy Hot Apple Cubes, and it calmed down and accepted his request to find the Secret Realm Core.
• The Purple-Black Puppy brought Jiang Xing the Core, and he used it to send the fan family out of the Secret Realm.
• Jiang Xing promised to bring the puppy food and visit to study it, while respecting its wish to remain with its master's remains.
• The system announced that Jiang Xing had tamed Buneary, and Jiang Xing objected to the Purple-Black Puppy being called a rabbit.

After recognizing that Intimacy could be an undiscovered force behind Pet Beast evolution, Jiang Xing began researching how to prove it in the Beast Taming World. His search led him to the overlooked Ugly Water Chicken, which might have an Affection Evolution—or a Beauty Condition of its own.

• Jiang Xing realized spiritual contracts and the Heart Selection Theory had kept people from recognizing Intimacy, and he suspected the Howl Dog’s Training Power was equivalent to Return.
• He left Energy Cubes for the Purple-Black Puppy, returned from the Secret Realm, and cooperated with Public Security Officers investigating its arrival in Modu City.
• After leaving the Public Security Bureau, Jiang Xing signed autographs for the fan’s family, returned Jian Guoguo to Master Jian, and took Li Lingyin to the Battle Hall before heading to the Grand Library.
• Jiang Xing searched for Pet Beasts with Training Power and no known evolutionary forms, then found the Ugly Water Chicken, a clumsy species whose weak move and lack of evolution had discouraged researchers.
• Jiang Xing wondered whether Ugly Water Chickens might have an undiscovered Beauty Condition in addition to Intimacy.

Jiang Xing examined the Purple-Black Puppy and identified it as a Spirit-Guarding Dog, while weighing the moral risks of revealing how Howl Dogs could become one. His investigation found that the transformation depended on the Secret Realm’s immense Death Divine Power, leaving him with evidence that it was a special Land of Death.

• Jiang Xing asked Senior Li to collect Ugly Water Chickens from the Jiangnan countryside for his research.
• Jiang Xing arranged research equipment with Master Jian and examined the Purple-Black Puppy over two days.
• Jiang Xing completed the Beast Taming Compendium entry for the Spirit-Guarding Dog, recording its Fire and Necro attributes, Red-Hearted Loyalty talent, and Low-Rank Commander status.
• Jiang Xing worried that Beast Tamers might exploit Howl Dogs’ loyalty to turn them into Spirit-Guarding Dogs, but also feared that concealing the discovery would deprive devoted owners of a chance to reunite with their pets.
• Jiang Xing used Energy Observation Equipment to find that the Courtyard Secret Realm was saturated with exceptionally pure Death Divine Power, which had transformed it into a Land of Death.

Jiang Xing arranged for the Spirit-Guarding Dog to let sincere Beast Tamers bring their deceased Howl Dogs to the Courtyard Secret Realm, and planned to research its deathly power with public funding. At the Magic City Evolution Assembly, he began an exhibition battle to demonstrate the Rainbow Dragon Cub’s strength.

• Jiang Xing realized the Courtyard Secret Realm’s Death Divine Power created the conditions for Howl Dogs to become Spirit-Guarding Dogs, and planned to screen visitors with Little Qilin and seek funding to study the realm.
• The Spirit-Guarding Dog agreed to let Howl Dogs’ former owners visit, as long as they stayed outside the courtyard and did not disturb its master.
• Li Lingyin reminded Jiang Xing that the Magic City Evolution Assembly had begun, and he found a huge crowd gathered at his booth to see the Rainbow Dragon Cubs.
• Jiang Xing invited Beast Tamers with Transcendental Rank Pet Beasts to join an exhibition match and selected a young man whose Thorn Pig was nearing evolution.
• Jiang Xing took the battle himself, and the Rainbow Dragon Cub landed in front of him as the exhibition match began.

Jiang Xing’s Rainbow Dragon Cub defeated a string of challengers, drawing attention to Yuyu’s potential. After twenty wins left Dragon Cub exhausted, Dr. Al arrived and challenged it with his powerful Bodhi Cub, setting up a test of the young dragon’s strength.

• Dragon Cub dodged Thorn Pig’s Vine Whip and knocked it out with one attack.
• Jiang Xing won twenty consecutive matches with Dragon Cub, and the crowd grew eager to raise Yuyu.
• Dr. Al appeared at the platform and asked to challenge Dragon Cub with Bodhi Cub.
• Dr. Al offered Dragon Cub a Life Bean, but Jiang Xing declined, and Dragon Cub insisted it was ready to fight.
• Dr. Al prepared to test Dragon Cub’s worth, suspecting it was the surprise Dr. Xu had mentioned.

Jiang Xing’s Rainbow Dragon Cub defeated Dr. Al’s Bodhi Cub in a dramatic battle, repeatedly recovering through its Heart of Exhaustion Talent. The chapter ended with visitors eager to raise Golden-Veined Koi and Jiang Xing dismissing concerns about the cub’s competitive balance.

• Jiang Xing’s weakened Rainbow Dragon Cub fought Bodhi Cub, but Bodhi Cub’s Psychic Blast nearly defeated it despite the cub’s Refraction defense.
• Jiang Xing revealed that the Rainbow Dragon Cub could recover after failure, and it returned to peak condition before overpowering Bodhi Cub with Outrage.
• Dr. Al’s Bodhi Cub used Mental Surge as the Rainbow Dragon Cub landed an attack, leaving both Pet Beasts apparently defeated.
• The Rainbow Dragon Cub revived a second time, and Jiang Xing explained that its Heart of Exhaustion Talent let it rise again while its fighting spirit remained.
• Dr. Al fed Bodhi Cub a Life Bean and left after expressing interest in Jiang Xing’s academic presentation, while visitors marveled at the Rainbow Dragon Cub and considered raising Golden-Veined Koi.
