Suddenly, outside the infirmary, everything fell deathly silent. Even Qian Yi and Little Flame, who had just appeared, stared intently through the isolation glass at the being within, which was on the verge of completing its Evolution.
Su Pingâs heart suddenly leaped to his throat; he had a very bad feeling.
Although, within the Soul Contract, Xiao Qingâs soul condition was very stable, showing no signs of weakness.
But during this process of Evolution, while suppressing his nervousness by conversing with the two people beside him, he was acutely sensing something. Compared with Qian Yiâs previous Evolution, Xiao Qingâs current Evolution, in fact, lacked one particular occurrence.
This was the main reason for the unease in Su Pingâs heart. His Realm showed no fluctuations, no signs of improvement!
Why are all Beast Tamers so deeply passionate about cultivating and evolving their Pet Beasts?
When a Pet Beast is bound to a Beast Tamer through a Soul Contract, their advancements are mutual. When a Beast Tamerâs Realm significantly improves, their Pet Beast will also level up. Similarly, when a Pet Beast levels up, the Beast Tamer will improve as well.
Especially during a Pet Beastâs Evolution, at lower Realms, they often leap across many levels and Realms.
That was what happened during Qian Yiâs last Evolution; Su Pingâs Realm had also jumped by many levels.
However, this time, from the start of the Evolution until now, as it was nearly complete, Su Pingâs spiritual power Realm had not reacted or fluctuated in the slightest.
Through the Soul Contract, there wasnât the slightest feedback indicating the Evolutionâs completion! Could there really be a problem? Was the Evolution a failure?
Su Pingâs lips pressed into a nervous line, his gaze fixed firmly on the inside of the infirmary.
It seemed everyone noticed Su Pingâs tension. You could hear a pin drop outside the infirmary; even the Mirror of Reflecting Heavens, which had been chattering non-stop, now held its tongue.
Finally, as everyone watched intently, cracks began to form on the dimming Light Cocoon formed by the Light of Evolution.
The entire cyan Light Cocoon turned white and, under those cracks, gradually became transparent.
An indistinct silhouette emerged from within, slowly taking shape before everyoneâs eyes.
However, there were no howls, no movement at all; there was only that silhouette, still a cyan color, lying there as if still asleep.
Whatâs going on?
A chill ran through Su Pingâs heart. The Light of Evolution had already faded. Whether the Evolution was successful or not, Xiao Qing should have shown some reaction, right?
At this moment, layers of strange light and shadow, resembling the lingering Light of Evolution, enveloped Xiao Qingâs body. They seemed ethereal, and even under the glare of the incandescent lights, their true nature remained indiscernible.
A thought struck Su Ping. Through the connection of his Eye of Truth and the Soul Contract, the specifics of Xiao Qingâs peculiar state were instantly reflected in his mindâs eye.
[Variant Forest Wolf (Contracted â Soul Guidance, Evolving)]
[Attributes: Wood, Poison]
[Current Realm: Unknown]
[Species Potential: Unknown]
[Skills: Unknown]
Still evolving? Does this mean Xiao Qingâs Evolution is not yet complete? But the Light of Evolution has already disappeared! No, thatâs not right! The surrounding lights and shadows are still there; theyâre just different. So, Soul Guidance? Is it because of the Soul Guiding Wick?
Indeed, Cultivation related to Evolution was a completely new domain Su Ping had never encountered. He didnât understand the Cultivation processes involved.
After waiting for another full five minutes, the bizarre light and shadow shrouding Xiao Qing showed no sign of dissipating.
Su Ping took a deep breath and, after a momentâs thought, looked toward the Mirror of Reflecting Heavens.
"Mirror Saint, itâs time for you to take action!"
It was true that in the complete Cultivation Methods of the Myriad Spirit Beast Atlas, the Cultivation of an External Incarnation at the Fourth Rank stage occurred after Evolution was completed.
However, the current situation was clearly very special. Xiao Qingâs Evolution seemed to be stuck in this stage. If the soul, currently guided by the Soul Guiding Wick, wasnât transferred into a counterpart body and made to swallow the Ethereal Spirit Water to complete the Cultivation of the External Incarnation, Xiao Qingâs Evolution might never finish!
Moreover, from the Soul Contract, Su Ping could feel that although Xiao Qingâs soul was stable, it was in an extremely peculiar state.
For all these reasons, combined with his understanding of cultivating Pet Beasts,
Su Ping knew he couldnât wait any longer. He didnât want such long preparations for this single Evolution and Cultivation to have all its previous efforts come to nothing!
Following Su Pingâs orders, the Mirror of Reflecting Heavens entered the infirmary with him. Su Ping didnât rashly touch Xiao Qing at this moment.
Instead, he took out the Ethereal Spirit Water he had prepared beforehand and looked to the Mirror of Reflecting Heavens.
At this moment, the figure of the anime-style beautiful girl with pink twin-tails within the mirror completely vanished.
Within the mirror, there was nothing but emptiness.
Then, the mirror tilted slightly, aligning itself with Xiao Qing.
HUM...
A strange sound emerged.
Xiao Qingâs figure appeared within the mirror of the Mirror of Reflecting Heavens.
After that, three shadowy figures were reflected out from the mirror.
However, just as these shadows shifted from illusory to tangible, problems arose once again.
The three shadows, reflected in the mirror, trembled slowly and even flickered, as if they might collapse in the next instant.
"Damn it, what is this thing?" a voice came from the Mirror of Reflecting Heavens.
Before anyone could react, a bright light shone from the mirror. Terrifying spatial fluctuations and spiritual power spread out. The aura of a Spirit Saint Level erupted in full force. Su Ping, merely sensing it from the side, felt as if his heart had momentarily stopped beating.
