At this moment, only Yu Wan was at the Luo Yu Research Institute.
Although her parents had returned and Luo Yu had given her employees a holiday, she didn't like living with her elders and returned to the research institute. "Why are so many people here all of a sudden..."
Yu Wan had been waiting for Luo Yu to return, wanting to ask him what blessing he had received.
However, Luo Yu did get to see them, but it seemed there were even more people than usual!
The Storm Eagle landed nervously. Yu Wan stood outside the research institute, watching the people who had come down from the eagle's back, and rubbed her eyes.
It's understandable that Lin Li is back, but...
Why are both my uncle and the island owner here?!
What made it even harder for Yu Wan to accept was...
On the back of the Storm Eagle, a miniature crocodile slowly crawled down...
Although small, its abyssal black body, scales covered in watery ripples, back covered in ice, and a radiant mark on its forehead made it resemble an ancient guardian, exuding an overwhelming aura. This... this... isn't this the guardian deity, the Mirror Moon Giant Crocodile!
This scene made Yu Wan wonder if she was under an illusion. Why was her guardian spirit at Luo Yu Research Institute?
"[It's you.]" After the Mirror Moon Giant Crocodile climbed down, it looked at Yu Wan and had some impression of the little girl.
I received my own blessings back then.
It sensed something, and was slightly taken aback; how could even its pet be dead?
... Yu Wan.
"Guardian Deity..." Yu Wan dared to speak ill of him behind his back, but dared not be disrespectful to his face, so she forced a smile.
Then, she cast a hopeful look at Luo Yu and the others, "Wait, what's going on?"
Why didn't anyone say this beforehand!
If she had known this would happen, she wouldn't have gone back to the research institute!
"Luo Yu, where are we going now?" Yu Lei asked anxiously, unsure whether Luo Yu was reliable or not.
Is this for real...? How does Ink Fish evolve...?
Please don't make a fool of yourself in front of your guardian deity...
But if it were true... just thinking about that possibility made Yu Lei's heart pound.
The thought that Luo Yu had indeed mentioned this to him before made him feel somewhat dazed. Could it really have happened?
"Follow me." Luo Yu walked ahead.
"Professor Yu Wan, please come too. I made some progress in my experiment on the Water Devil Beast yesterday, so I invited the Island Lord, the Director, and the Guardian to come and watch. After all... it's a research result that concerns the future of the island."
Yu Wan was taken aback.
"Ah?"
Is Luo Yu going to try evolving the Ink Fish?
Has the research yielded results?
When did this happen...?
Yu Wan was stunned when she heard this.
As he spoke, Luo Yu led the director, the island lord, and the guardian to the Ink Fish farm. At this time, Luo Yu had already picked out a level 2 Dominion Ink Fish and placed it in a separate pool.
In this pool, there are also 100 ordinary Ink Fish, all at level 1.
This time, everyone was healthy and in good spirits, and none of them were malnourished.
Of these 100 ordinary Ink Fish, 50 have the "Deadly Poison" talent and 50 have the "Spray Warrior" talent. Luo Yu wanted to see if so many fish with the same talent could evolve into even stronger talents.
Deadly Poison and Spray Warrior were the first two talents Luo Yu identified when he first transmigrated, so they were old friends.
"Let's get started," urged the Mirror Moon Giant Crocodile.
"Good..."
Yu Lei, Bai Ya, Yu Wan, and Lin Li all swallowed hard as they looked at the solemn Luo Yu.
Can it even work...? Don't make this so serious, the evolutionary experiment ultimately failed.
However, judging from Luo Yu's expression, he seemed quite confident.
"The evolution of Ink Fish actually involves three key factors."
"However, I won't go into details here," Luo Yu said. "I'll proceed directly to the final demonstration."
"Hurry, hurry, hurry!" Yu Lei was extremely anxious; he needed to get things done quickly.
Luo Yu nodded and summoned July.
"July, this time I'll leave it to you. Hopefully, that'll be fine."
Today, July is no longer the novice who would drown if she jumped into the pond; she can now easily pose a deadly threat to the Ink Fish in the pond!
"Coo coo coo!" Understanding Luo Yu's meaning, July nodded, stretched out her wings, and condensed magma out of thin air!!! Dark red light gathered, and heat surged out.
The next moment, July condensed a ball of magma and threw it directly into a body of water where no Ink Fish were present!
With a loud "bang," a localized area of the water surface experienced a violent, instantaneous boiling, and a large amount of white steam erupted.
The commotion startled the Ink Fish in the pond, making them look like a moving ink painting.
In July, smaller magma balls continued to be thrown, causing explosions in the pond.
This scene reminded Yu Lei of something. He remembered that Luo Yu's father, a scholar from Luo Shui, had once speculated that the crisis might be a key factor in the evolution of the Ink Fish.
To this end, Luo Shui scholars simulated 37 different crises, attempting to create evolutionary pressure to force the Ink Fish to evolve.
He had read the experimental reports, but unfortunately, they all ended in failure.
Could Luo Yu be using this crisis to create evolutionary pressure on the Ink Fish?
But can it succeed?
The Luo Shui scholars' experiments have failed so many times!
However, it is clear that Luo Shui failed because his school of fish lacked a "Dominion" core.
Even if there is a "Dominion" individual in his school of fish, it is very much a matter of luck to make the "Dominion" individual the strongest in the school without knowing it.
However, none of these disadvantages apply to Luo Yu. He had already created the most suitable fish swarm for evolution using the Eye of Data: Dominion, 50 Deadly Poison, and 50 Spray Warrior.
The final evolutionary experiment begins here!
As July continued to generate pressure, suddenly, time seemed to freeze.
"This!!!!" Yu Lei stared wide-eyed at the pond.
Yu Wan also showed a shocked expression, her beautiful eyes flashing.
"My God..." Island Master Bai Ya's breathing became rapid, and her whole body trembled.
"Evolution..." Lin Li's face turned even redder as she looked at Luo Yu and July, who were illuminated by the light of evolution.
It really worked?!
[Hmm...] The Mirror Moon Giant Crocodile stared intently, and saw that under July's constant stimulation, the fish had successfully activated a certain trait of theirs. The Ink Fish began to turn into black ink and converge on one of the Ink Fish!
At this point, their minds had already stopped thinking, because no one had ever succeeded in causing the fish to undergo such a dramatic change. The fact that this unprecedented scene had occurred meant that Luo Yu's evolution experiment was at least half successful.
Super genius!
This Luo Yu can no longer be simply described as an ordinary genius! Yu Lei and Bai Ya were both deeply moved.
Previous research findings were still within acceptable limits, but this...
A stable evolutionary path for the Monarch Species —could a 15-year-old really have figured it out? It's simply unbelievable!
at this time.
Ink surged wildly in the pond, completely engulfing the Ink Fish with the "Dominion" talent, leaving only a churning, wave-like black shadow! In that spot, the ink continuously compressed and solidified, its outline gradually elongating, until finally, a gigantic body slowly took shape!
The figure spanned more than ten meters, occupying a large part of the pond. Beneath its round, jet-black body, eight arms that resembled giant chains writhed in the water. Neatly arranged on its abdomen and arms were suction cups the size of washbasins, shimmering with a dark purple light!
"Hissing"
The evolved Water Devil Beast let out an angry Wailing, its blood-red pupils staring at the crowd. Just as it was about to attack, Luo Yu's voice snapped Yu Wan out of her daze!
"Teacher Yu Wan, control it!"
This time, the Ink Fish did not fail to evolve, but underwent a complete transformation. As Luo Yu's voice fell, Yu Wan took a deep breath, and with an incredulous and sharp gaze, she unleashed her mental power.
Boom!!!
Her azure mental energy surged like a raging torrent, causing Yu Wan's hair to fly wildly. Under her mental power, the Water Devil Beast, which was less than level 10, was defeated and pressed to the bottom of the pond, unable to move.
At the same time, all of its information was perfectly displayed before Luo Yu's eyes!
[Race]: Water Devil Beast
[Gender]: None
[Attributes]: Water, Poison
[Racial Rank]: Lower Monarch Species
[Health Level]: 6
[Racial Abilities]: Ink Sea Raging Tide, Shapeshifting at Will
[Individual Talent]: 1. Dominion (Senior Level talent, a natural leader, bloodline has a certain suppressive effect on weaker members of the same race.)
2. Poison King (Senior Level talent: immune to all poisons, possesses a high concentration of toxins.)
3. Piercing a Willow Leaf at a Hundred Paces (Senior Level Talent, possessing superb long-range attack talent.)
The evolution chart of the Water Devil Beast appeared before Luo Yu's eyes, confirming all his previous guesses.
"See... I succeeded..." Luo Yu couldn't help but laugh.
really.
When a large number of ordinary talents come together, the talent itself will be elevated.
Fifty "Deadly Poison" talents condensed into the "Poison King" talent, and it wasn't just a change in talents...
This Water Devil Beast even acquired a second attribute: poison.
Many creatures possess venom, such as common Ink Fish and Honey Water Bee, but their venom is too weak and is classified as aquatic. However, this Water Devil Beast's venom attribute is listed separately, suggesting that its venom may be comparable to fire or lightning, becoming a powerful weapon. It's reasonable to speculate that if its talent is affinity with other attributes, it might also acquire other attributes.
Ice, rock, darkness, lightning, fire... all are possible.
The 50 "Spray Warrior" talents have been transformed into the "Piercing a Willow Leaf at a Hundred Paces" talent.
This is a super poison-type archer... capable of hitting enemies with a single poison arrow from an extremely long distance across the sea!
With Luo Yu's laughter, Yu Lei, who had been stunned for a long time, finally reacted, but for a moment, he was still speechless. It really... succeeded...
"You..." Yu Wan, while controlling the rampaging Water Devil Beast, looked at Luo Yu, as if time had turned back to a few months ago. The naive yet incredibly Confidence Luo Yu had said those words to her.
"My parents also have an important research project on Ink Fish that's been ongoing for a year..."
He really did it!
What Luo Yu said about the institute's employees receiving discounted prices after developing Water Devil Beast was not just empty talk!
He truly has that ability!
"Mirror Moon Island... is about to rise." The island lord Bai Ya, clenched his aged hand tightly, looking at the guardian deity Mirror Moon Giant Crocodile. Ancestor, this kid wasn't lying; he really did research the evolution method of the Water Devil Beast!
"That's amazing..." Lin Li's voice was soft, but her heart was just as unsettled as the others'...
