Chapter Summaries

Jiang Xing decided to begin the Rainbow Dragon Cub’s evolution research after its owners urged him to publish a path forward. He planned to visit the Azure Dragon with the Little Qilin first, but the Qilin’s suggested gifts revealed that its visits with the mythical beast were mostly food outings.

• Rainbow Dragon Cub owners urged Jiang Xing to publish its evolution plan because their pets had reached Mid-Level Commander rank but they feared evolving without guidance.
• Jiang Xing resolved to uncover the Rainbow Dragon Cub’s full potential and guide it toward a true transformation rather than a simple growth-type evolution.
• Jiang Xing decided to visit the Azure Dragon before designing an evolution plan so he could better understand what a True Dragon was.
• The Little Qilin promised to take Jiang Xing and the Little Dragon to visit the Azure Dragon and asked Jiang Xing to bring a gift.
• Jiang Xing reviewed the Little Qilin’s suggested gifts—street foods such as Jianbing Guozi, Roujiamo, and Stinky Tofu—and realized the Qilin and Azure Dragon were food buddies.

Jiang Xing prepared gifts and gathered his Pet Beasts for a visit to Azure Dragon’s secluded retreat near Wolong City. Little Qilin carried the group there in under twenty minutes, while Jiang Xing reflected on the gulf between Pseudo-Legendary power and true Legendary combat ability.

• Jiang Xing ordered snacks and drinks for Azure Dragon, then invited Su Muli to join the trip, but she declined and returned to her research institute with the Storm Sea Lizard.
• Jiang Xing chose to bring the Dragon Cub, A-Feng, Giant Magnet Monster, and Xiao Xian, planning to visit Wolong City’s attractions along the way and have Xiao Xian hide from Azure Dragon if necessary.
• Jiang Xing mounted Little Qilin and set off with the Pet Beasts after taking a group photo.
• Little Qilin formed a cloud path and flew the group more than a thousand kilometers to Wolong City in under twenty minutes.
• Jiang Xing considered how Little Qilin’s Pseudo-Legendary strength compared with a Legendary Beast Tamer’s combat ability.

Jiang Xing entered Azure Dragon’s hidden Secret Realm with Little Qilin and brought food for a visit. He discovered that the small dragon eating from the cargo container was Azure Dragon himself, who revealed his enormous true form and left Dragon Cub thrilled to stand beside him.

• Jiang Xing arrived in Wolong City, loaded the pre-ordered food and drinks into a cargo container, and followed Little Qilin to Azure Dragon’s hidden Secret Realm.
• Jiang Xing and the pet beasts entered the vast ancient Secret Realm and searched the empty mountaintop for Azure Dragon.
• Dragon Cub mistook the small azure dragon eating from the container for Azure Dragon’s child and introduced itself.
• The azure dragon revealed his giant form, spread Dragon Might across the mountaintop, and asked who Jiang Xing and the pet beasts were.
• Little Qilin shielded the group from the Dragon Might and scolded Azure Dragon for frightening them.
• Azure Dragon returned to his small form, said he had only been teasing them, and praised Dragon Cub.

Azure Dragon questioned Jiang Xing after sensing Evil power on him, but Little Qilin and Jiang Xing’s Pet Beasts convinced it to lower its guard. When Azure Dragon asked about the strange aura, Jiang Xing revealed that he had discovered the Fairy Attribute, leaving the dragon roaring that it was Evil.

• Azure Dragon apologized to Little Qilin with food and promised not to scare its friends again.
• Azure Dragon cautiously asked how Jiang Xing had met Little Qilin, and Jiang Xing said Little Qilin had joined him after enjoying his cooking at a banquet.
• Jiang Xing explained that he was Dr. Xu’s student and a Pet Beast Scholar, while Little Dragon, A-Feng, and Giant Magnet Monster praised his help.
• Azure Dragon accepted the Pet Beasts’ trust in Jiang Xing and asked directly about the Fairy scent it had detected.
• Jiang Xing revealed that Fairy could nullify Dragon Attribute attacks and deal advantageous damage to Dragon Attribute Pet Beasts.
• Little Dragon reacted in shock, and Azure Dragon roared that Fairy was Evil.

Jiang Xing told Azure Dragon that Fairy Power was a newly emerged Attribute with no Fairy God yet, then urged it to claim Fairy Authority for itself. Azure Dragon overcame its fear and declared itself the god of Wood, Dragons, and Fairies.

• Azure Dragon feared that Fairy Power could nullify its Dragon Authority and exploit its Dragon Power, then drank alone to cope with the threat.
• Jiang Xing explained that Fairy Power had emerged from the collision of two worlds and might not become an Authority for a long time, calming Azure Dragon.
• Jiang Xing proposed that Azure Dragon become the Fairy God before one arose, arguing that incompatible Attributes could coexist.
• Jiang Xing challenged Azure Dragon to wield both Dragon and Fairy Authority, and Azure Dragon accepted the idea.
• Azure Dragon declared itself the God of Wood, Dragons, and Fairies.

Jiang Xing suggested that Azure Dragon could claim the newly emerging Fairy Authority, and Azure Dragon rewarded him with a powerful blessing. Jiang Xing gained enhanced spiritual power and a True Dragon Physique, but regretted that the blessing had not given him a Key Stone.

• Jiang Xing reflected that he had only offered Azure Dragon an idea and would keep the Fairy Slate for himself.
• Azure Dragon realized the unstable, newly born Fairy Attribute gave it a rare chance to gain Fairy Authority without evolving.
• Azure Dragon credited Jiang Xing for the timely idea and for bringing abundant sacrifices through Little Qilin.
• Azure Dragon touched Jiang Xing's forehead and bestowed divine power that strengthened his spirit and body, granted him a True Dragon Physique, and placed him under its Shelter.
• Jiang Xing recognized the blessing's benefits but wondered who would compensate him for the missing Key Stone.

After watching the Azure Dragon display its Mythical Authority, Jiang Xing realized Little Dragon wanted to become a pure, ultimate dragon rather than gain Fairy Power. He resolved to strengthen its Dragon Attribute and use Yinglong, the ancestor of dragons in Xia Kingdom mythology, as the model for its evolution.

• The Azure Dragon welcomed Jiang Xing and his Pet Beasts to a feast, then demonstrated how it used its Authority to empower moves of different attributes.
• Jiang Xing considered how a Pet Beast needed both a strong inner foundation and well-developed attributes to reach its full evolutionary potential.
• Seeing Little Dragon gaze at the sky, Jiang Xing remembered its original dream of becoming a dragon and understood that it did not desire Fairy Power.
• Jiang Xing decided to focus Little Dragon's evolution on strengthening its Dragon Attribute and pursuing the form of an Ultimate Dragon.
• Jiang Xing ruled out the Azure Dragon as a model and chose to begin researching Yinglong, the oldest and strongest dragon in Xia Kingdom mythology.

After the banquet, Jiang Xing earned the Azure Dragon’s favor and received the Secret Realm Core, allowing him to move the entrance near his research institute. The Azure Dragon also gave him permission to explore the realm and its ruins, leaving Jiang Xing eager to return with Little Qilin and the Rainbow Dragon Cubs.

• The Azure Dragon reminisced about harvest feasts and hinted to Jiang Xing that it wanted more of his food.
• Jiang Xing promised to return with Little Qilin and hold a grander banquet, and the Azure Dragon gave him the Secret Realm Core so he could move the entrance near his residence.
• Jiang Xing asked if Little Dragon could bring several hundred Rainbow Dragon Cubs to the next banquet, and the Azure Dragon agreed, asking him to bring more food.
• The Azure Dragon told Jiang Xing that the Secret Realm held ruins left by humans from another world and allowed him to explore it freely.
• Jiang Xing thanked the Azure Dragon and offered to send it a menu and provide whatever food it wanted.

With the Azure Dragon’s permission, Jiang Xing explored its Secret Realm and discovered a rich ecosystem of Dragon Attribute Pet Beasts with regional forms that could be bred and researched. He planned to work with Uncle Dragon and the authorities to relocate some species and reproduce the environment, making Dragon Attribute Pet Beasts more accessible before the Secret Realm changed.

• Jiang Xing explored the Azure Dragon Secret Realm and observed its layered forest ecosystem and numerous Dragon Attribute regional forms.
• He concluded that the Secret Realm rivaled the Dragon Realm as a source of Dragon Attribute Pet Beasts and evolutionary possibilities.
• Jiang Xing decided he wanted to popularize the Dragon Attribute by relocating several species, not establish a Beast Tamer faction.
• He realized the regional forms could breed with outside populations, making species such as Dragon Chestnut Squirrels useful for expanding Dragon Attribute access.
• Jiang Xing planned to ask Uncle Dragon and the authorities to trade for and reproduce the Secret Realm’s special environment before Uncle Dragon succeeded.

Jiang Xing explored the Azure Dragon Secret Realm, documented new pet beast forms, and recruited a few clans to relocate with Azure Dragon's permission. After defeating the Panda Leader with Xiao Xian's Fairy Wind, he learned that the Panda Clan intended to follow him personally as well as help find their Blue Star relatives.

• Jiang Xing documented more than fifty pet beast forms in the Azure Dragon Secret Realm and confirmed it was larger than a medium-sized Secret Realm.
• After Azure Dragon approved, Jiang Xing asked the pet beast clan leaders to relocate some clans, but most chose to remain in the Secret Realm.
• The Panda Leader agreed to leave because its clan longed for Blue Star's bamboo shoots, but challenged Jiang Xing before departing.
• Jiang Xing sent Xiao Xian to fight the Mid-Rank Monarch Panda Leader, and Xiao Xian won with Fairy Wind because the Dragon Panda's attacks could not harm it.
• Jiang Xing healed the Panda Leader, which declared that the Panda Clan would follow him and help find their Blue Star clansmen.

Jiang Xing left the Azure Dragon Secret Realm with several pandas and told Chang Feng he wanted to work with the authorities to breed Dragon Attribute Regional Forms. Chang Feng learned that Jiang Xing had visited the Azure Dragon with its approval and obtained permission to discuss recreating the Secret Realm’s divine environment.

• Jiang Xing agreed with the Panda Leader’s plan to raise pandas in his backyard and said he would need to create a bamboo forest.
• Jiang Xing left the Azure Dragon Secret Realm with several pandas and called Chang Feng about breeding Dragon Attribute Regional Forms.
• Chang Feng mistook Jiang Xing’s discovery for a new research achievement until Jiang Xing explained that he had found the forms in a Secret Realm.
• Jiang Xing revealed that the Secret Realm was the Azure Dragon’s, and that he had visited it while seeking a Rainbow Dragon Cub.
• Jiang Xing told Chang Feng that the Azure Dragon had given him the Secret Realm Core, approved his plans, and welcomed future visits with Little Qilin.

Chang Feng realized that Jiang Xing’s bond with the Azure Dragon could improve relations between the Xia Kingdom and the Divine Beasts, but he chose not to distract Jiang Xing from his research. Jiang Xing brought pandas from the Azure Dragon Secret Realm to a government breeding house, where the pandas discovered bamboo shoots and felt they had returned to paradise.

• Chang Feng concluded that the Azure Dragon’s recognition of Jiang Xing offered a chance to bridge the distance between the Xia Kingdom government and the Divine Beasts, and he promised government support for Jiang Xing’s relationship with the Azure Dragon.
• Chang Feng helped Jiang Xing contact a nearby Panda Breeding House, then hurried away to report the diplomatic development to his superiors.
• Jiang Xing brought Wood-Type and Dragon-Type pandas to the government-run Panda Breeding House near Wolong City and relaxed after sensing the breeders’ genuine affection for them.
• The pandas rushed into the bamboo groves, dug up bamboo shoots, learned to peel them, and eagerly ate the tender cores.
• The breeders brought out baskets of fresh bamboo shoots, and the pandas cried as they realized why their ancestors had missed their homeland.

Jiang Xing settled the Azure Dragon Secret Realm pandas at the research institute and decided to develop their martial arts potential while creating a self-sufficient home for them. He left the panda breeding project for later and established a nearby bamboo forest for the clan.

• The Wood Pandas and Dragon Pandas joined the Martial Arts Pandas and Thug Pandas in training, prompting Jiang Xing to recognize their natural Fighting potential.
• Jiang Xing requested bamboo seeds and Panda Martial Arts manuals, and told the breeders to use Azure Dragon to create a special delivery environment for producing Regional Forms.
• Jiang Xing moved the Azure Dragon Secret Realm entrance to the research institute, a process that took more than thirty hours, and learned that Secret Realms could not replace long-distance transportation.
• Jiang Xing brought the pandas out of the Secret Realm and fed them selectively bred bamboo shoots.
• Jiang Xing set aside land two or three hundred meters from the research institute for the Panda Clan to grow its own bamboo.

Jiang Xing prepared the Rainbow Dragon Cubs for their next evolution by bringing them to the Azure Dragon Secret Realm and securing a mythical-rank Dragon Pearl to strengthen Little Dragon’s dragon attributes. He also reflected on the limits of his research and wondered about A-Feng’s secret mating, while the Rainbow Dragon Cubs’ evolution remained the next goal.

• Jiang Xing considered how the Golden-Veined Koi’s desire to become Rainbow Dragon Cubs might limit their other evolutionary possibilities, but decided not to pursue that research himself.
• Jiang Xing took the Rainbow Dragon Cubs to the Azure Dragon Secret Realm to meet the mythical Azure Dragon and celebrate their relocation with a feast.
• Jiang Xing brought the Rainbow Dragon Cubs back to the institute and prepared them for evolution, aiming to strengthen their dragon attributes.
• Jiang Xing traded with the authorities for a mythical-rank Dragon Pearl, offering to cultivate a Mystic Water Phoenix Chick in return.
• Jiang Xing wondered whether A-Feng’s offspring with a Cloud Cotton Bird or Mystic Feather Peacock might inherit improved aptitude or unusual talents, but A-Feng kept its partner secret.

Jiang Xing gave Little Dragon secret psychological counseling, using stories of mythical dragons to inspire it to aim beyond even Azure Dragon and become the Strongest Dragon. Little Dragon embraced that ambition, and Jiang Xing prepared to begin its evolution ritual, which he named the Heavenly Ladder.

• Jiang Xing asked Little Dragon about Azure Dragon and praised the Divine Dragon’s power and benevolence.
• Jiang Xing showed Little Dragon a book illustration and told it that Yinglong was the legendary Ancestor of All Dragons, exaggerating its powers to inspire Little Dragon.
• Jiang Xing warned that Azure Dragon, Yinglong, and Torch Dragon were goals to surpass, urging Little Dragon to become the Strongest Dragon.
• Little Dragon eagerly accepted surpassing every dragon as its goal, and Jiang Xing sensed its ambition through their Beast Taming Contract.
• Jiang Xing announced that Little Dragon’s evolution ritual would begin and named it the Heavenly Ladder.

Jiang Xing and the Azure Dragon put the Rainbow Dragon Cubs through a Heavenly Staircase trial to push them toward evolution. As the Cubs climbed against the Divine Dragon’s might, the first began evolving into magnificent rainbow dragons.

• The Azure Dragon enjoyed a hot pot made with Mythical Rank resources, then agreed to oversee the Rainbow Dragon Cubs’ evolution.
• Jiang Xing explained the Heavenly Staircase trial to the fifty selected Rainbow Dragon Cubs and sent them flying toward the Azure Dragon.
• The Cubs struggled against the Azure Dragon’s might, with those possessing [Fearless Heart] initially climbing higher than those with [Heart of Exhaustion].
• The Exhaustless Dragon Cubs used moves such as True Dragon Dance and Waterfall Climb to gain height, while their Talent restored their stamina when they neared exhaustion.
• The Fearless Dragon Cubs fell back as their stamina ran out, and some Rainbow Dragon Cubs evolved into True Dragons more than ten times their former size.

Jiang Xing watched the Rainbow Dragon Cubs evolve in the Azure Dragon environment and discovered that one cub became a Wood-Light Dragon resembling the Azure Dragon. The chapter left him considering whether other external powers could create additional Rainbow Dragon evolution forms, while the Wood-Light Dragon appeared exclusive to the Azure Dragon environment.

• Jiang Xing identified the first evolved Rainbow Dragons as Growth-Type Evolutions and hoped the Little Dragon would reveal a stronger hidden form.
• A Rainbow Dragon Cub evolved into a Wood-Light Dragon, startling the Azure Dragon with its resemblance to itself.
• Jiang Xing reasoned that the Azure Dragon environment had influenced the cub’s evolution and considered how external powers might create other forms, such as Thunder-Light or Death-Light Dragons.
• The exhausted Rainbow Dragon Cubs completed their evolutions into Rainbow Dragons and Wood-Light Dragons without developing additional attributes.
• Jiang Xing concluded that the Wood-Light Dragon was tied to the Azure Dragon environment and wondered whether its effects could be replicated.

Little Dragon pushed past the Azure Dragon’s Dragon Might because it wanted to become the strongest dragon, and the Azure Dragon intensified the trial to awaken its potential. Little Dragon evolved into a Rainbow Dragon with six Aurora Wings and returned to Jiang Xing, who wondered how its new evolution could be researched.

• Little Dragon kept climbing the Heavenly Ladder despite having already qualified to evolve into a Rainbow Dragon or Wood-Light Dragon.
• The Azure Dragon asked what Little Dragon wanted to become, and Little Dragon declared that it wanted to surpass the Azure Dragon and become the strongest dragon.
• The Azure Dragon intensified its Dragon Might, forcing Little Dragon to face an illusion of the Divine Dragon’s destructive fury.
• Little Dragon resisted the Dragon’s Wrath and broke through the illusion, awakening its potential and evolving into a Rainbow Dragon with six Aurora Wings.
• Little Dragon dove toward Jiang Xing, who caught it and learned that the Azure Dragon had helped trigger its evolution by strengthening the trial.

After leaving the Azure Dragon Secret Realm, Jiang Xing examined the evolved dragons and discovered that Little Dragon had become an enormous Aurora Dragon King. He marveled at its unprecedented potential while worrying that its evolution would require rare resources and leave it unable to live at home.

• Jiang Xing returned to the research institute with the evolved dragon group, where Little Dragon realized its new size made it impossible to fit inside and cried.
• Jiang Xing comforted Little Dragon and moved the testing equipment outside to examine the evolved dragons.
• Jiang Xing assessed the Rainbow Dragon and concluded its evolution had largely preserved its original attributes and Talents.
• Jiang Xing renamed the Wood-Light Dragon the Cyan Light Dragon and noted its recovery, durability, and potential combination with Heart of Exhaustion.
• Jiang Xing examined Little Dragon's Aurora Dragon King form, whose Heart of Extremity and High-Level Monarch rank gave it unprecedented potential.
• Jiang Xing realized the Aurora Dragon King's evolution had consumed one-tenth of the power in its Mythical Rank Dragon Pearl and could require scarce resources and other difficult conditions.

Jiang Xing tested Rainbow Dragon Cub evolution and discovered several new attribute-based Light Dragon forms, including the Fairy-Light Dragon, which could counter Dragon Attribute opponents. He left the Rainbow Dragon Cub’s further evolution possibilities for future research as the Dragon Lake flock gained a versatile new lineup.

• Jiang Xing confirmed that Rainbow Dragon Cubs could evolve into Rainbow Dragons at Mid-Level Commander and into Cyan Light Dragons with high-concentration Wood Attribute power.
• Jiang Xing used attribute stones to produce Thunder-Light Dragons, Fairy-Light Dragons, Lake-Light Dragons, and Flame-Light Dragons, while several other attributes had no effect.
• Jiang Xing found that the new forms broadened Rainbow Dragons’ moves and made them useful to Beast Tamers specializing in Thunder, Water, and Fire Attributes.
• Jiang Xing recorded that the Fairy-Light Dragon’s Mysterious Power added Fairy Attribute damage to every offensive move, making it a counter to Dragon Attribute opponents.
• Jiang Xing surveyed the six Light Dragon forms above Dragon Lake and considered them enough to form a small team alongside the Aurora Dragon King.
