Although Luo Yu saw the information about the contestants who had gotten involved in such outrageous incidents, he was in a good mood.
Because, just as he was counting the fish, he discovered that he had finally collected all 120 Ink Fish needed for evolution!
Although a few are still in the egg stage, with the help of Infant Care Expert to speed up the incubation process, they will soon be born as little creatures.
Will you be visiting then?
"Yes, of course I want to see!" Chen Bo was incredibly excited. The July evolution was even more exciting than the evolution of his own pet beast.
Because all of Luo Yu's research aims to help the Earth Penguin achieve invincible evolution.
Chen Bo wanted to see just how far Luo Yu could evolve in July after all his hard work.
This is the final moment to test Luo Yu's research results!
"When does it start?" Yu Wan also got excited. Once Luo Yu finished her July evolution, her Water Devil Beast should be ready soon, right?
"I'll call you when you're ready. Don't worry, you won't miss it," Luo Yu said. After all, he was quite familiar with the three people from the July institute, and they could witness July's evolution.
In addition, you can also call on the island lord, the bureau chief, Shui Wuyue, the guardian deity... In short, the fewer people who know all his trump cards, the better. After all, the Alliance Newspaper is releasing this list now, which is very likely to allow the players to investigate their opponents in advance, prepare tactics in advance, and compete with each other.
At this point, whoever has the most trump cards at the end is more likely to win the championship, since some tactics and skills are indeed most effective the first time they are used.
Although Luo Yu thought that probably no one would be so bored as to come to Mirror Moon Island to investigate... it would also be difficult for news to get out of here, after all, Mirror Moon Island was like a closed country.
Next, Luo Yu informed the guardians and others that he was about to undergo the July evolution. This was not an experiment, but the final verification, which would determine Mirror Moon Island's performance in the Abyss Trial.
While Luo Yu focused all his efforts on hatching the last few Ink Fish, the Beast Taming on other islands were also constantly analyzing the trial list.
Among them, the top 50, the top 50 Beast Taming with the highest probability of winning, are naturally the focus of analysis.
After seeing the list, many people raised questions.
"Who is Luo Yu?" "Where is Mirror Moon Island?"
Clearly, just as the top 10 on the list are all dominated by geniuses from the Azure Billows Continent, the top 50 are also all occupied by genius Beast Taming from various famous islands, such as Dragon Boat Island, Future Island, and Golden Island.
Even on smaller islands like Mirror Moon Island, where Beast Taming are shortlisted, they still rank outside the top 100.
It's quite rare for a contestant like Mirror Moon Island to break into the top 50.
Two days later. Luo Yu Research Institute.
All the islanders who planned to watch the July evolution gathered here.
"The day has finally come. Let me see if my blood has been wasted!" said the Mirror Moon Giant Crocodile.
"It will definitely succeed, Guardian God, rest assured." Yu Lei chuckled. His Storm Sea Eagle had evolved so successfully, so Luo Yu's July certainly wouldn't be any worse!
"I wonder if, after two stages of evolution, I'll be able to defeat those little monsters on the list." Shui Wuyue sighed, his happiness for the rest of his life resting on Luo Yu.
"Everyone... come with me..." Luo Yu took a deep breath when he saw that everyone had arrived.
Eye of Data played a crucial role in getting me to this point where I can help July evolve, but I also relied heavily on the help of others. Now, it's finally time to test the results.
"Hmm..." July was following Luo Yu with a serious expression.
After so many days of intensive training, July's life level has reached level 17, an increase of 5 levels.
Thanks to the combined efforts of the Life Enhancement Needle and the Healing Water Devil Beast.
On its head, its own kin, the Ink Fish, was perched.
At this moment, the little octopus was unaware of what was about to happen and had not yet developed intelligence; it only sensed that the atmosphere today was unusually different. "Let's go." Led by Luo Yu, the island's high-ranking officials and everyone from the research institute followed him to an evolutionary testing ground.
In the test field pool, 60 Rock Element Ink Fish the Eight-Sword Style talent and 60 Rock Element Ink Fish the Coordination Master talent are ready.
"July." At Luo Yu's Command, July threw her familiar, a creature with both Dominion and Rock Element Affinity, into the pit.
Keep it up, my dear friend.
July looked at her companion, the Ink Fish, with expectant eyes.
puff.
The Ink Fish, a member of the family, entered the pool and looked around blankly.
"Teacher Yu Wan, please." At Luo Yu's call, Yu Wan stepped forward, her long hair fluttering with her spiritual power.
"I was ready long ago." She was already quite adept at helping the Ink Fish evolve, so she immediately activated her berserk Telekinesis and began attacking wildly in the pool, releasing her mental pressure.
Splash!!!
Numerous turbulent whirlpools appeared in the pool.
A large number of Ink Fish panicked and swam wildly, except for one Ink Fish, which was naturally July's familiar. It was in a high-pressure environment, feeling the surrounding water explosions and the powerful mental pressure. Although it didn't have much intelligence, it had been with July for so long and had frequently watched it fight with the Water Devil Beast, so it had developed a calm and unperturbed mindset.
But at that moment, it sensed an instinctive signal that only the Ink Fish could receive from each other. It instinctively realized that these Ink Fish seemed to be asking it for help.
Time seemed to freeze before it could even agree.
The scene everyone had been waiting for happened. With nowhere to go, the fish activated a certain trait, and they all mysteriously turned into black ink, converging on their companion, the Ink Fish!
The ink quickly gathered in the pond, and the family of Ink Fish were swiftly swallowed up, leaving only a swirling, dark shadow!
[...]
At this moment, the Ink Fish felt a continuous stream of power merging into it. This feeling was wonderful; it didn't resist, but instead wholeheartedly absorbed the power!
The ink-like color compressed and solidified in everyone's eyes, its outline gradually elongating.
Boom!!
Until, finally, the enormous body took shape!
The dark light dissipated, and everyone held their breath, staring at the enormous creature before them.
This Water Devil Beast was better developed than any of the previous ones. Including the length of its tentacles, its total span reached more than ten meters, covering the entire pool. Beneath its jet-black body, which resembled a mountain range, eight tentacles danced in the air. The power emanating from its entire body was as heavy and profound as a thousand cliffs and ravines, like overlapping and undulating mountains!
"Hiss---Whoosh---"
The Rock Devil Beast... has been born!
Looking into its ruby-like eyes, everyone took a deep breath. Yu Wan even broke out in a sweat, feeling that this Water Devil Beast was quite extraordinary and could not be easily suppressed like the previous ones!
"Finally, you've arrived." All of its information instantly appeared before Luo Yu's eyes!
[Race]: Water Devil Beast
[Gender]: None
[Attributes]: Water, Rock
[Racial Rank]: Lower Monarch Species
[HP Level]: 13
[Racial Abilities]: Ink Sea Raging Tide, Shapeshifting at Will, Eye of Petrification, Cloning
[Individual Talents]: 1. Dominion (Senior Level talent, a natural leader, bloodline has a certain suppressive effect on weaker members of the same race.) 2. Moving Mineral Vein (Senior Level talent, can use different ores as a core, transforming oneself into a rock vein body, possessing the characteristics of that ore!)
3. Absolute Control (Senior Level talent: Possesses absolute control over everything about oneself, can fully unleash the potential of the race, and possesses perfect proficiency in racial abilities without training.)
4. Fishing Tackle Mastery (Normal talent; influenced by strong memory, can unleash 200% power when transforming into specific forms.)
Luo Yu:?
July's familiar has finally evolved, and seeing its series of talents, Luo Yu felt a sense of satisfaction.
Although it still lacks top-tier talent, this is within expectations. After all, top-tier talent is practically a ticket to natural disasters, and it seems that creating it artificially is still quite difficult. But... its collection of talents combined is luxurious enough to be considered the strongest below the top tier.
Moving Mineral Vein!
Luo Yu's understanding is that the Water Devil Beast has an "equipment slot".
This "equipment slot" can hold any ore, and it can Petrification its body to activate the power of the ore vein, depending on the properties of the ore.
For example, if it puts a "Sinking Stone" into its body and makes it the core, then it can temporarily transform into a "Sinking Stone" vein and control Gravity itself.
With Rock Element Affinity Talent, its Geo abilities are off the charts!
July and [the other] are a perfect match—one Walking Volcano, the other a Moving Mineral Vein. This Moving Mineral Vein talent has enormous potential.
Absolute Control!
It's likely a fusion and sublimation of the Eight-Sword Style and the Coordination Master. The Eight-Sword Style represents perfect control over the physical body, while the Coordination Master represents perfect control over energy. It's probably because of this talent that the Rock Devil Beast can strengthen itself by harnessing the power of external ores. After all, if you can't even perfectly control your own body, how can you transform yourself into an ores?
The only thing that Luo Yu found rather amusing was the Fishing Tackle Mastery. This probably had nothing to do with any of the Ink Fish's inherent talents; it was purely because July had been giving her family members early education every day and letting her observe her fishing tackle daily, which left a deep impression on the Ink Fish family members.
As a result, my entire childhood memories are shaped like fishing rods.
Thus, even after evolution, they still fondly remember fishing rods.
This led Luo Yu to a new conclusion: childhood memories may also influence the Water Devil Beast Water Devil Beast's evolved talents, allowing it to master the transformation of certain weapons and equipment!
For example, spending more time with armor during childhood might give you a talent boost for transforming into armor later on...
At the same time, like the medical Ink Fish, it also gained two new abilities after evolving!
The Eye of Petrification, as its name suggests, is a Rock Devil Beast with eyes like gemstones, clearly distinguishing it from other Water Devil Beast. It's highly likely that it possesses a special eye technique that allows it to Petrification other enemies simply by glaring at them.
As for the Cloning... it's probably due to the Absolute Control talent, combined with the Water Devil Beast's ability to transform into elements. Could it be that it can create many versions of itself?
As Luo Yu was rapidly analyzing the situation, nearby, July's bloodline... was also beginning to be affected due to the evolution of her familiars!
