"Director, I know you're in a hurry, but please don't rush." Luo Yu said helplessly.
What am I supposed to do if you go and purge the military clique?!
It's worth noting that Luo Yu helped this Sand Sculpture Dragon evolve.
The bureau chief used the Sand Sculpture Dragon he helped evolve to sway the other King Level Beast Taming on the island. The bureau chief was pleased, but Luo Yu had to bear the consequences.
When the island lord, Shui Wuyue, and the others pitifully come to urge the progress of the Water Devil Beast's training, won't that just add to his workload?
"Director, the most urgent task is to let the Storm Sea Eagle get used to its evolved abilities," researcher Lin Hai suggested.
"How can you fight if you're not familiar with your abilities?"
Several researchers nodded in agreement. They couldn't get involved in the conflicts between the island's leaders, but seeing the Mid-Rank Monarch Species, every researcher present wanted to study it.
"That's true." Yu Lei nodded. "Through the contract, I sensed that the Storm Sea Eagle... seems to have awakened the ability to control Sandstorm."
"How is this ability?" Yu Lei asked Luo Yu, trusting Luo Yu's professional expertise.
Can Luo Yu be considered bad? Of course not.
"Two words: Invincible."
Luo Yu said, "Sandstorm and Rainstorm are both natural disasters. Both of your abilities are in the nascent stage of natural disasters. What does that mean? It means that the Storm Sea Eagle is definitely a natural disaster reserve, with the potential to Cataclysm Level."
Everyone:?
What do you mean by "natural disaster potential"? Just because you helped it evolve, you're starting to lie through your teeth, huh?
An Yao was amused. Rainstorm was one thing, but in this age of exploration, what was with awakening a Sandstorm...?
"That makes sense." However, Yu Lei's eyes lit up, and he was very convinced.
There's no way around it; after all, it's my pet, and I subconsciously believe that my pet is powerful.
"However, isn't it a bit inappropriate to still call it Storm Sea Eagle? Luo Yu, you helped it evolve, so why don't you give it a new race name? The new name you suggested will be the one added to the Alliance Pokédex later!"
New species of mutated beasts are constantly being born in this era. When Beast Taming discovers and evolves a new race, he can report it to the Alliance and add the new race to the Alliance Encyclopedia.
The encyclopedia will mark the first person to discover or research the pet, and will award a large reward.
The Alliance would occasionally summarize information on some mutated beasts in the encyclopedia, compile it into teaching materials, and distribute them to various islands for study. Luo Yu carefully calculated that he seemed to have researched quite a few new mutated beasts, but because he didn't care about the rewards for discovering new encyclopedia entries, he never bothered to apply to the Alliance.
Of course, he could ignore it, but the Yu Lei was practically a figure within the Alliance system, so he had to respond to policies at all times.
"Let me think..." Luo Yu said, "Because it awakened the power of sand violence, still retains some characteristics of a sea eagle, and is evolving towards an ancient dinosaur, judging from its physique, its bloodline should be considered dragon-like... In that case..."
He tentatively asked, "Sand Sculpture Dragon?"
Lazy Luo Yu simply gave the name displayed by the Eye of Data.
Others: "..."
"Sand Sculpture Dragon..." The bureau chief was about to praise the name, but then he felt that something was wrong.
"This... this isn't appropriate, is it?" His lips twitched. Although each word had its source, when put together, it didn't sound like someone of the Mid-Rank Monarch Species. It felt a bit weak.
"Really... Haha, that does seem a bit odd." Luo Yu said, "Then let's add a word: ' Sand Sea Eagle Dragon '?"
Yu Lei breathed a sigh of relief; it sounded much more normal than Sand Sculpture Dragon.
He looked at the Sand Sea Eagle Dragon and said, "Old friend, from today onwards, you are a mid-level monarch!"
"Chirp!!!" The Sand Sea Eagle Dragon chirped happily. At this moment, Luo Yu was suddenly surprised to find that after he changed the Sand Sculpture Dragon's race name, the name he saw with his Eye of Data also changed.
[Race]: Sand Sea Eagle Dragon
[property]:
"Huh." Could the Eye of Data really change data according to one's will?
"I think you're High-Rank Calamity Species, not a mid-ranking Monarch." Luo Yu stared intently at the Sand Sea Eagle Dragon, but after thinking for a long time, he still couldn't find any changes in the data panel.
This made Luo Yu fall into deep thought. Race name, attributes, race level, life level, special ability, talent... It seems that only the race name is given by the outside world, so the name can be changed, but the others are fixed attributes, which seems normal.
"Interesting..."
Although it wasn't very significant, this experience did lead Luo Yu to a new discovery.
"This Eye of Data is quite intelligent. I wonder if it's in its final stage now, and if there's any possibility of further evolution." Regarding the Eye of Data, Luo Yu already had some guesses about its origins.
This goes back to when the apocalyptic rainstorm had just begun.
Some scholars have questioned why other animals can awaken various supernatural abilities, while humans have only awakened the ability to Beast-Taming Space energy.
Is it possible for humans to awaken other attributes or superpowers? This could be verified in humanoid zombies.
According to records, the earliest human zombies were slow-moving and had low combat strength; these were the standard zombies...
but...
Some human zombies are incredibly powerful, capable of releasing mental energy for wide-range perception, or manipulating metal and fire to attack, making them no different from mutated beasts.
This is sufficient proof that, like zombie beasts, Zombie Beast, despite Erroneous Evolution, can still possess other supernatural abilities.
In other words, humans actually had the opportunity to awaken other superpowers, but they all failed in the awakening process, unable to bear those superpowers, resulting in genetic collapse and turning them into zombies. Only those humans who awakened the Beast-Taming Space stood out from countless paths of evolution.
Therefore, Luo Yu had a guess: could it be that he was also affected by the virus while eating the zombie fish, and his body underwent some kind of mutation?
He awakened a special ability that allows him to see the qualities of other life forms through their bloodline and genetic essence— the Eye of Data.
Then, after traveling through time, because the Eye of Data was bound to my soul, it followed me there.
Although it was just Luo Yu's irresponsible guess, after thinking about it, this was the most likely possibility. After all, superpowers are incredibly diverse, and anything could happen.
Next, Yu Lei, together with the researchers, began studying the Sand Sea Eagle Dragon.
This Sandstorm ability is more powerful than everyone imagined. It's not just a simple attack where strong winds whip up sand and dust from the ground into the air; rather, the sandstorm is filled with dense earth and Rock Element power, forming a moving desert ocean. Anyone within it will experience a significant speed boost, while creatures of other elements will have their speed greatly limited.
Sandstorm environments are the ocean of terrestrial life.
Entering a sandstorm is like a fish entering the ocean.
"This skill is more like a support skill. It's not very useful for July to learn it. It doesn't have the wind element, so it's probably not easy to learn. You'll need Wind Element Enhancement needle to have any chance of learning it," Luo Yu thought to himself.
Although speed is increased during a sandstorm, releasing a sandstorm also consumes a lot of stamina, so this skill is more suitable for learning by your familiars.
For example, let the future Rock Devil Beast learn, and during battle, activate a sandstorm for July, allowing July to enter the desert and ocean... This is the true meaning of a familiar: to use various buff abilities to assist the main pet.
Not long after, Yu Lei left in a hurry. Clearly, it was meaningless for him, the third-in-command of the island, to boast to the researchers nearby about having a mid-level monarch.
It only has value if you show it off to the other King Level Beast Taming tamers on the island!
"Now Yu Lei has become the guinea pig," An Yao said, watching his retreating figure.
Although the Sand Sculpture Dragon's wings are no longer functional, it can still fly using wind elements.
Previously, it flew using wings, aided by wind elements, achieving astonishing speed.
Now, the wings are useless, and the island relies entirely on wind for power, which is much more difficult. Although the Sandstorm skill can increase speed, the problem is that the Yu Lei dare not envelop Mirror Moon Island in Sandstorm...
"How so?" Luo Yu asked casually.
"Ancient evolution... would cause birds to lose their ability to fly. The Storm Sea Eagle is alright; even with its wings atrophied, it can still fly using the wind. In battle, Sandstorm won't significantly affect its speed. But if it were Teacher Li's son's Thunderclap Eagle, once its wings atrophied, it would truly be unable to fly."
"Although a mid-level monarch is more powerful, a mid-level monarch who can neither fly nor swim is essentially locking their future to the Azure Billows Continent. The other party will probably have to think about it carefully," An Yao said.
"It is a dilemma." Luo Yu smiled, indifferent, let others worry about it. Fortunately, July can't fly anyway!
However, Luo Yu estimated that most Beast Taming tamers would still prefer ancient dragons of a higher species. After all, at the king level, it doesn't matter if they can't fly. As long as they have a familiar slot, and their familiar can swim and fly, it won't affect their travel.
[Why...]
at the same time.
Watching the back of the Sand Sculpture Dragon, the Empress in Luo Yu's eyes sighed.
[The former king of the skies, actually...]
The sight of the Sand Sea Eagle Dragon readjusting to flight greatly disappointed the Bee Empress, who never expected that the Sky King would fall before she had even grown up.
Fortunately, Luo Yu had already given it a heads-up. The Storm Sea Eagle was merely the sky king of Mirror Moon Island; looking at the world, the dragon race reigned supreme over the vast expanse of the heavens.
The dragon race will appear Abyss Trial, and he told the Bee Empress to prepare.
Before that, the Thunderclap Eagle, which possesses even greater majesty than the Storm Sea Eagle and is considered a king of the skies, will soon arrive at Mirror Moon Island.
The first touchstone to becoming the Bee Empress. If the Storm Sea Eagle is the sky king of Mirror Moon Island, then the Thunderclap Eagle is the sky king of the island where the Bee Empress lived in her previous life.
They were also the only Sky Monarch Species that the Bee Empress had ever seen before—a race she had looked up to in her previous life.
Compared to the Storm Sea Eagle, the Bee Empress would rather defeat the Thunderclap Eagle.
"Where was the island where the Bee Empress lived before?"
Luo Yu was curious, because July's top talent was bestowed by the outside world, so he wondered if the Bee Empress, whose race was also weak, might also have had its top talent bestowed by the outside world.
After all, logically speaking, a weak, Low-Rank Ordinary Species should not be able to bear such a strong talent.
Perhaps... perhaps the island where the Bee Empress was born also hides a secret similar to Ancient Grotto!
Unfortunately, the Bee Empress had no idea where she was born...
Sigh. Once I'm done with the evolution in July, I'll quickly help Yu Wan obtain a powerful mental octopus so that her divination abilities will be more accurate.
Then, we can ask her to help us divine the Bee Empress's spawn point...
Next, Luo Yu discussed the archaeological progress of the Ancient Cavern with scholar An Yao, and after letting July go into the dream world to fish for dinosaurs, he returned to the research institute.
Luo Yu was also deeply moved when he saw that the director possessed the mid-level monarch status.
If he could evolve into a mid-level monarch in July, he would have no regrets.
Luo Yu checked the progress again.
Evolution Core, July's Kin, Ink Fish with dual talents of Dominion and Rock Element, currently level 6.
Since its birth, it has enjoyed the best water and rock resources, and the Mirror Moon Island resource pool is open to it.
An evolutionary component, the common Ink Fish.
Rock Element Affinity + Eight-Sword Style, 40 lines.
Rock Element Affinity + Coordination Master, 40 points.
In total, 81. We are 40 short of the 121 needed for evolution.
