He left Zhao Liang astonished by his rapid progress, though Lin Yuan modestly said his result was not as bright as his teacher’s.

• Zhao Liang taught Lin Yuan the Light-Guiding Pupil Art and demonstrated how to fuse it with the Purple Spirit Eye Art for a competition-focused special training goal.
• Lin Yuan learned the new art, fused the two pupil arts after several failed attempts, and found that the result consumed purple qi more slowly but was too bright and mentally draining.
• Lin Yuan used a beam empowered by the World-Realm Spirit-Nurturing Art and found that it fused smoothly, producing gentler, clearer light while reducing strain and energy use.
• Zhao Liang returned with drinks, saw Lin Yuan’s flowing sacred-purple light, and asked whether he had studied spell fusion before; Lin Yuan denied it and said his result was still dimmer than Zhao Liang’s.

Lin Yuan visited the Rare Beast Garden and watched [Flame-Eyed Monkey], [Rippling Water Spirit], and Titi resolve their misunderstanding about the flowers and become friends. During the monkey’s treatment, Lin Yuan glimpsed the four regions of its Spiritual World, including a dark area holding suppressed energy.

• Sun Xingtian gave Lin Yuan a Rare Beast Token so he could visit the Rare Beast Garden freely.
• Lin Yuan found [Flame-Eyed Monkey] helping [Rippling Water Spirit] plant flowers, while Titi trembled nearby, remembering the bumps the monkey had caused by taking flowers.
• [Flame-Eyed Monkey] explained that it had apologized and given [Rippling Water Spirit] flower seeds, and [Rippling Water Spirit] apologized to Titi and soothed her bumps with [Water Nourishment].
• The three young pets planted flowers together, and [Flame-Eyed Monkey] gave Lin Yuan a blue flower that [Rippling Water Spirit] had rewarded it with.
• Lin Yuan treated [Flame-Eyed Monkey] and saw its Spiritual World divided into four regions resembling the seasons, with a dark region containing energy the monkey had suppressed and sealed away.

The next day, Huang Zixuan reported that his father had begun helping Fortune Attraction recover, while Zhu Neng started teaching the class about preparing evolution materials.

• Lin Yuan finished treating the Flame-Eyed Monkey and promised to help it tell truth from illusion.

• Zhu Neng began a lesson on Beast Breeders and challenged the students to write a material-preparation method for evolving a Construction Duck into an Engineering Swift Duck.

Lin Yuan impressed Zhu Neng with his knowledge of pet beast evolution, prompting Zhu Neng to invite him to compete in the national resource-utilization competition. After weighing how the event could advance his Courier Bird research, Lin Yuan agreed to enter and saw it as a chance to improve Courier Birds’ prospects.

• Lin Yuan firmly agreed to enter the competition.

Lin Yuan began training for the resources competition after Zhu Neng won the other teachers’ cooperation. At home, Baishi’s evolution continued smoothly, and Zilan reached Transcendent level 6 as her hidden Evolution Path finally updated.

• Zhu Neng asked Chen Xuanbai to add him to Lin Yuan’s competition-plan group and announced he would train Lin Yuan for the resources competition.
• Chen Xuanbai, Sun Xingtian, and Zhao Liang each agreed to coordinate with Zhu Neng, despite privately worrying about competing for Lin Yuan’s time.
• Zhu Neng rewarded Huang Zixuan and Liu Mintian with Wind-Earth Cores and told Lin Yuan the school would support his reasonable requests for competition resources.
• Lin Yuan checked Baishi in the Plant Room and saw that its evolution was progressing, while Zilan’s increased Spirit Dew production and level reflected the energy gathered there.
• Lin Yuan told Zilan that Liu Xing planned to leave the Life-Soul Pendant with her, but she continued using it diligently.
• Zilan reached Transcendent level 6, and her long-awaited Evolution Path information appeared on the panel.

Lin Yuan discovered Zilan’s two revealed high-grade Commander evolution paths and learned that her third hidden path required a stronger Pagoda trait and devoted Purple Ghost Orchids. Zilan condensed her first Treasure Fruit, whose emotional effects Lin Yuan stored for future use, while he investigated whether her hidden path involved symbiotic evolution; three days later, the panel indicated Baishi’s evolution was near.

• Lin Yuan examined Zilan’s new evolution paths, including two high-grade Commander forms and a third path with conditions he could not yet meet.
• Lin Yuan considered whether Zilan’s third hidden path could be a rare symbiotic evolution with the devoted Purple Ghost Orchids around her.
• Zilan condensed a Treasure Fruit, and Lin Yuan learned it could temporarily intensify a pet beast’s emotions and perceptions.
• Lin Yuan stored the Treasure Fruit, praised Zilan, and resolved to find the evolution form best suited to her.
• Lin Yuan researched same-origin symbiotic evolution while continuing his competition activities and recording information about Courier Bird.
• Three days later, on July 31, the panel indicated that Baishi’s evolution was close.

Baishi completed his evolution into a High-Grade Commander Spiritblast Mad Lion, raising Lin Yuan’s mental power and giving him three possible Gifts of All Spirits to choose from. Lin Yuan chose a white scepter that planted a seed of authority in Baishi’s Hidden Transformation and a corresponding root in Lin Yuan’s Spiritual World, leaving them with a path to share its power in the future.

• Lin Yuan, Zilan, and Linghuan watched as Baishi’s evolution finished, and Baishi emerged as a Transcendent level 1 Spiritblast Mad Lion with a new offensive Trait.
• Linghuan and Zilan gave Baishi an upgraded anklet, while Lin Yuan examined his new panel and found three Gifts of All Spirits to choose from.
• Lin Yuan selected the white scepter, which brought him and Baishi into an illusory sea of chaos and showed Baishi transforming through possible future forms.
• The scepters entered Baishi and Lin Yuan, revealing that Baishi had gained a seed of heaven-and-earth authority within Hidden Transformation and Lin Yuan had gained a corresponding root in his Spiritual World.
• Lin Yuan discovered that his spiritual power had risen from 55 to 57 and wondered whether he would share Baishi’s authority when the Trait reached its pinnacle.

Lin Yuan prepared for the third-year monthly exams while Baishi trained after evolving into a mutated Frenzied Spirit Lion. Sun Xingtian began intensive training for Baishi, and Lin Yuan left for his exams confident but aware that the other subjects could still challenge him.

• Lin Yuan reviewed past exam papers and focused on the resources theory exam, especially pet beast evolution materials.
• Lin Yuan summoned the evolved Baishi at the training field, where Sun Xingtian identified it as a mutated Frenzied Spirit Lion with strength beyond an ordinary Low-Grade Commander lion.
• Baishi eagerly trained with Cloud Leopard, accidentally sending its fur flying with Spiritblast before agreeing to wear wigs alongside it.
• Lin Yuan assessed Baishi's abilities and found that it could use its traits quickly, though it still struggled to roar imposing attacks and transform into stronger future forms.
• Lin Yuan asked Sun Xingtian to train Baishi while he sat his exams, and Sun Xingtian wondered whether Lin Yuan might outperform the third-year students despite his doubts about the other subjects.

Lin Yuan took Baishi to the Rare Beast Garden, where Baishi met Titi, Mingche, and the Rippling Water Spirit and happily played with them. After treating Mingche, Lin Yuan realized Baishi needed more chances to relax with other young pet beasts and decided to bring a few more home once his home expansion was complete.

• Lin Yuan asked Sun Xingtian to accompany him and Baishi to the Rare Beast Garden, and Sun Xingtian agreed.
• Titi welcomed Lin Yuan and Sun Xingtian with flowers, while Baishi tried and failed to learn to speak from her.
• Baishi met the garden’s pet beasts, then impressed Mingche and the Rippling Water Spirit by transforming between his lion and cat forms.
• The pet beasts played together, and Baishi used Linghuan’s anklet to dry and refresh them after they got soaked.
• Lin Yuan treated Mingche and found that his view of the Spiritual World had grown clearer, with the next treatment scheduled in seven days.
• Baishi said the visit had been his happiest day, prompting Lin Yuan to plan to bring more young pet beasts home after the expansion was finished.
