Although Serperior's strength had not changed much, its evolution progress had risen impressively.
During the time since returning to Huaxia Academy, it had suddenly reached 47%, allowing Ye Lan to roughly understand how evolution progress increased.
Because Serperior had spent this period testing whether various exchanged manuals suited it, it had not undergone any particularly special training. The only possible reason its evolution progress could rise so quickly was that, through constant Calm Mind practice, it had continuously increased its sensitivity to Grass-type energy.
In other words, Serperior's evolution progress was positively correlated with the strength of its "Absolute Monarch of Grass" ability.
And that was indeed the case. It was only after Serperior gained this ability that its evolution progress changed from "none" to "0.1."
If this pace continued, Serperior's evolution progress might reach 100% when its strength reached around Gym Leader level, giving rise to an entirely new form that even Ye Lan, a transmigrator, had never known of. The prospect filled him with anticipation.
If that truly happened, Ye Lan planned to make a special trip to find old Andrew.
That old fellow had vanished somewhere unknown. As a living fossil of the Snake Head Clan, perhaps he knew something about Serperior's condition.
"Marsha, Marsha~"
Just as Ye Lan was about to place the red-hot stones at the bottom of the sand pit, Marshadow flipped out of his shadow like a Magikarp and stared curiously at what Ye Lan was doing.
Some time ago, Marshadow had discovered in horror that its prized Shadow Space seemed to have developed a huge hole. Many of the treasures stored inside had vanished, making the normally carefree little fellow panic for the first time.
The situation had not initially seemed too serious. Anything it placed in Shadow Space would be stained
