Unorthodox Beast Control

Chapter 293 New evolutionary route and new four-star skills! (Happy New Year to everyone!)

With the third foster care shop in Yaomu City, Xu Ran's Pleasure Points income increased a lot.

By the time this resource allocation began, his total Pleasure Points had exceeded one million.

This also made Xu Ran perform ten consecutive draws for the first time.

Although there was still no guarantee, with the blessing of the koi energy of the three koi, he successfully drew what he wanted.

The number of skill fusion stones exceeded 100 for the first time, reaching 128.

With this number of skill fusion stones, three four-star skills can be fused smoothly.

There are fourteen purple items in total, six are three-star skill scrolls, five are talent skill fusion stones that are not yet used, and the last three are meditation acceleration cards.

Three cards at a time are enough to renew the meditation acceleration for three months.

What makes Xu Ran the happiest is the two red items he got through his luck.

The first one is the High Level meditation accelerator card.

Exactly one month has passed since I got it for the first time, and this renewal comes at just the right time.

With it, Xu Ran is sure to break through the Rank Five Contract Power and become a King Level beast master in the next month or two.

As for the second item, it is also an old friend of Xu Ran.

The evolution route of the emperor race.

Its importance is self-evident.

Although obtaining the evolutionary route is only the foundation, whether it is collecting evolutionary materials or meeting the corresponding evolutionary conditions is not easy, but without the evolutionary route, everything is empty talk.

Xu Ran couldn't help but glance at Xingchen and Cancan.

I don’t know who will eventually obtain this evolutionary route.

"Wow~"

Skillfully dragging out the small blackboard, Xu Ran wrote all the resources except the two meditation accelerator cards on the blackboard.

As expected, after seeing the last line of the list written on the blackboard and the bright characters, Xingchen and Cancan's eyes lit up at the same time.

"Yes, today we will have another partner who will get the evolutionary route." Xu Ran smiled, "You decide who gets it."

"Xilu~" (I hope I can prepare to evolve first.)

Xingchen neighed and looked at Cancan.

This is not the time to be humble.

While both Zi Yun and Cancan already have four-star skills, the only one that doesn't have four-star skills is already a step slower than the other friends.

If Cancan were allowed to evolve first, it would be even slower.

Although the emperor race evolution route will definitely be available in the future, it does not want to wait any longer.

The nightmare he encountered while searching for the Thunder Dragon Stone once again appeared in Xingchen's mind.

Although it was fake at that time, it didn’t want to fall behind other friends anymore!

Looking into Xingchen's firm eyes, a trace of entanglement and hesitation appeared in the bright golden eyes.

There is no doubt that the evolutionary route it wants.

But... it also understands that the stars need this evolutionary path more than themselves.

Moreover, according to the order of joining the team, Xingchen should come first at this moment.

The Emperor’s evolution route will be available in the future.

Maybe there will be a new evolutionary route in the next resource allocation?

Thinking of this, the tangle in Cancan's eyes gradually dissipated.

"Just..." (Then you go first.)

"Xilu!" (Thank you!)

Xingchen let out an excited neigh, and then looked at Xu Ran.

Their internal negotiations have been completed, and now it’s time to reveal their evolutionary route.

For a moment, Xingchen's heart was filled with nervous emotions.

Zi Yun's imperial race evolution route is still fresh in its memory to this day.

In that evolutionary route, not only is the collection of evolutionary materials much more difficult than the evolution route of the king race, but there are also more stringent requirements for evolution.

In addition, the commander-level Zi Yun even needs to kill two king-level Transcendent creatures alone.

If the same is true for my own evolutionary path...

So can it really be achieved?

"It's better to choose the highest six-star potential, right?"

Hearing Xu Ran's inquiry, hesitation appeared in Xingchen's eyes for the first time.

Six-star potential almost always corresponds to the six-star evolution difficulty.

And for other six-star evolution difficulties, there are also requirements for killing kings...

For the first time, Xingchen had the idea of ​​choosing a worse evolutionary path.

Being able to evolve into the emperor race is already a blessing among the lucky ones. Otherwise, don’t embarrass yourself so much...

As soon as such an idea was born, it lingered in its mind.

"Meow!" (Choose six stars of course!)

Seeing his companion's hesitation, Zi Yun jumped onto Xingchen's head without hesitation, raised his paw and gave Xingchen a slap.

What are you thinking about? This guy.

"Cha~" (That's right.)

Cancan on the side agreed.

If you have to choose, choose the best one!

Otherwise, wouldn't it be a waste of the opportunity that it struggled with for so long before deciding to give up?

"Xilu~" (Okay.)

As if awakened by the words of the two little ones, Xingchen shook his head violently to dispel his thoughts.

It’s almost impossible to catch up with other partners!

Even if there are similar requirements in the evolutionary route, it will definitely find a way to deal with it!

Thinking of this, the star's amethyst-like eyes were filled with determination again. It looked up at Xu Ran and nodded slightly.

"Okay." Xu Ran smiled and nodded.

He saw Xingchen's hesitation and entanglement just now, and he knew very well what the other party's concerns were.

but…

Xingchen is an auxiliary beast, so that shouldn’t be the case, right?

Thinking of this, Xu Ran chose the stars without hesitation and used the evolution route of the emperor race that he had just obtained.

[Evolution route: Star God Horse (dark) → Dark Star Pegasus (dark)

Evolution difficulty: ★★★☆☆☆

Evolution potential: ★★★★☆☆ ]

[Evolution route: Star God Horse (Dark) → God Planet Horse (Dark)

Evolution difficulty: ★★★★☆☆

Evolution potential: ★★★★☆☆ ]

[Evolution route:…]

After discarding all the evolutionary routes that looked very powerful but did not have the potential to reach six-star evolution, Xu Ran's eyes finally stopped at the only one that reached the six-star evolutionary potential among the seventy or eighty evolutionary routes that appeared. .

Then, a look of surprise appeared on Xu Ran's face.

[Evolution route: Star God Horse (dark) → Nebula Guard (dark)

Evolution difficulty: ★★★★★☆

Evolution potential: ★★★★★★]

The evolution route of this six-star potential is actually not six-star in terms of evolution difficulty.

"Xingchen, there is good news." Xu Ran suddenly laughed, "Your evolution route has only a five-star evolution difficulty, right?"

While Xingchen's expression changed from nervousness to surprise, Xu Ran chose the evolutionary route in front of him without hesitation.

As the darkness of other evolutionary routes faded away, the evolutionary route in front of them also rapidly unfolded, revealing the specific information hidden underneath.

"Sigh..."

The excited Xingchen opened his mouth and was about to ask for the details of his evolutionary route. When he saw Xu Ran staring into the void, he subconsciously closed his mouth.

It knew that Xu Ran should be looking at its evolutionary route at this moment.

And all it needs to do is wait.

Is there only five-star evolution difficulty...

A trace of excitement appeared in Xingchen's eyes.

In this way, maybe there is no need to kill the king-level Transcendent creature yourself?

Looking at Xu Ran who was still staring, Xingchen couldn't help but stamp his hoof slightly.

Damn it, I’m so anxious!

On the other side, Xu Ran has also seen the complete evolutionary route of Xingchen.

[Evolution route: Star God Horse (dark) → Nebula Guard (dark)

Evolution difficulty: ★★★★★☆

Evolution potential: ★★★★★★

Evolution conditions:

1. Star God Horse has not broken through to the king level

2. All the Star Horse's talent skills are upgraded to four-star skills before evolution, and at least three skills are related to the power of the star.

3. All talent skills have reached the Lieyang level proficiency

Evolution materials: Star-Suppressing Stone (main), Glory of the Dawn Star (main), Star-marked Luminous Stone (main), Dark Emperor Blood Essence (main), Brilliant Jade (main), Eternal Dew (main)

Evolution ritual:

1. Assist a Transcendent creature that has not reached the king level to defeat a dark king-level Transcendent creature and obtain its core resources as auxiliary materials for evolution.

2. Complete evolution in the nebula night, when the stars are shining]

After reading the entire evolutionary route, Xu Ran couldn't help but touch his chin.

Comparing it with Zi Yun's imperial race evolution route, he can probably understand why the evolution difficulty of this evolutionary route is only five stars.

Perhaps taking into account the characteristics of the Star Horse itself as an auxiliary beast, although the evolution ritual of the stars still requires killing Transcendent creatures as auxiliary materials for evolution, it does not need to be killed alone, or even requires the stars to be the main kill.

All it takes is the stars to assist a general-level Transcendent creature to complete the kill.

In this way, the maneuverable space is much larger.

And there are not two that need to be killed, but one.

The difficulty will naturally be reduced a lot.

but…

Although the difficulty of the evolution ritual has been reduced, the evolution conditions and evolution materials of the stars are still not that simple.

Let’s talk about the evolutionary conditions first.

The conditions for evolution are similar to Zi Yun's. In addition to all talent skills reaching four stars and all proficiency levels reaching Fierce Sun level, there is an additional skill requirement.

At least three skills are linked to Star Power.

This statement is more abstract than Zi Yun's evolutionary conditions.

The additional requirement for Zi Yun's evolution is that the four skills have dual attributes of thunder and fighting. This is a very clear requirement.

The power of the stars is something ethereal.

What kind of skills are considered skills related to the power of the star?

The evolution materials of the stars are also not simple.

It has even one more piece of main material than Zi Yun.

However, the good news is not entirely lacking.

Xu Ran looked at the third piece of evolutionary material: star-marked luminous stone.

This thing is another reward in the war of all races.

It can be regarded as a mistake.

"Xi Lv?" (How's it going?)

Xingchen asked with a bit of anxiety, which brought Xu Ran back to his senses.

Looking at the nervous expressions of the three little ones, Xu Ran took a deep breath and said, "The evolutionary path of the stars does not require killing the king-level Transcendent creatures alone."

"Xi Lv~" (That would be great~)

Xingchen breathed a sigh of relief.

If the problem it worries about the most is no longer there, then everything is no longer a problem.

"According to the requirements of the star's evolution ritual, it only needs to assist a Transcendent creature that has not reached the king level and kill a dark king-level Transcendent creature."

"Meow~" (Leave it to me! At worst, it will be punished by God one more time~)

Zi Yun waved his paw and spoke nonchalantly.

If you want to complete its own evolution ritual, you already need to use Divine Punishment twice, and it doesn't matter if you have one more.

At this moment, it feels a bit like having too many debts.

"Xi Lv~" (No need!)

Xingchen shook his head violently, a thoughtful look flashing in his eyes.

It had witnessed the backlash of Zi Yun's previous Divine Punishment, and if it could, it would certainly not want Zi Yun to endure such pain for it one more time.

And, in fact, it is not necessary.

It can buff Zi Yun, greatly improving Zi Yun's strength without resorting to divine punishment.

Of course, relying solely on its own buffs, Zi Yun still has little hope of killing king-level Transcendent creatures at this moment.

but!

What if what it buffs is Zi Yun who has reached the general level and emperor race after completing evolution?

So it must be possible to easily kill a king without divine punishment, right?

When Xingchen explained his thoughts, Zi Yun's eyes also lit up.

yes! That’s okay!

It would naturally have no objection if it could avoid using Divine Punishment once.

"Meow~" (Then it's decided!)

Wait for it to complete its evolution first, and then help Xingchen kill a dark king-level one!

"It seems that this problem has been solved." Xu Ran smiled, "Then let's talk about the evolution conditions of stars."

"In addition to all innate skills being upgraded to four stars and reaching the Fierce Sun level, Xingchen also needs to have at least three skills related to the power of the stars." At this point, Xu Ran looked at Xingchen, "You know what this is? What do you mean?"

A thoughtful look appeared on Xingchen's face, and then he seemed to think of something, and his eyes lit up.

"Xi Lv..." (I should know what it means...)

It has a three-star skill that has not yet been integrated with other skills, called the power of falling stars, which is derived from a king-level resource that was previously absorbed.

This resource allows it to absorb the power of the outer star, restore and bless itself.

Because of the existence of this skill, Xingchen has long been exposed to the so-called star power, and he also knows which of his skills are related to the star power.

The first one is destiny holding the star.

The form of this skill when Xingxing first awakens is the two-star skill Star Chain.

This was its only skill at the time that was connected to the power of the star.

Later, with the help of the three-star skill scroll, this skill became the current Destiny Star. This connection with the power of the star did not dissipate, but became clearer.

There is no doubt that it is a skill related to the power of the star.

As long as it is upgraded to four stars, one-third of the additional evolution conditions are completed.

In addition, Xingchen also has a skill that is connected to the power of the star.

That was after it gave birth to the shining horn on its forehead, along with the new skill awakened during the last evolution, the two-star skill Immortal Star.

At this moment, it has also been upgraded to a three-star skill to repel star rings.

You only need to continue to upgrade it to a four-star skill, and one-third of the additional evolution conditions will be met.

As for the final third…

Then it falls on the power of the falling stars.

The power of falling stars, in Xingchen's plan, will be integrated with the heart of eternal night, and will be its first skill to be integrated.

After the fusion is completed, the new skills generated are also related to the power of the star.

so…

Although this evolutionary condition is complex, it seems to be achieved effortlessly.

After telling Xu Ran his analysis, Xu Ran was also relieved.

"Since there is no problem with the evolution conditions, there is only one last question." Xu Ran paused slightly, "Evolution materials."

"About this, there is good news and bad news. Which one do you want to hear first?" Xu Ran glanced at the stars and suddenly spoke with a smile.

“Xi Lv~” (Let’s tell you the bad news first.)

Xingchen neighed, and his expression became serious.

It has been mentally prepared that its own evolutionary resources will be difficult to find.

"The bad news is that you have one more evolution master material than Zi Yun." Xu Ran spread his hands.

"Xi Lv~" (Do I need one more...)

A hint of helplessness appeared in Xingchen's eyes.

It is obvious to all that Zi Yun's evolutionary resources are difficult to find.

If it weren't for the good luck of encountering the Jiyuan Vein Crystal during the battle of all races in Yaomu City, it would have taken quite a while to find it.

Extinction Thunder is a powerful resource that overlord-level Transcendent creatures regretted before their demise. Although the specific whereabouts are now known, there are two thunder-type King-level Transcendent creatures guarding it, and we still have to wait for the day of its birth.

Even if it is the thunder-type emperor-level blood essence that can be redeemed in Yuyun City before, it is sky-high in exchange for the required beast master points.

The last two evolutionary materials, Brilliant Jade and Immortal Tribulation Dew, can be obtained more easily. Obviously, although they are also the main materials at the bottom, they are far less important than the previous three.

And now, its number of evolution main materials is even more than that of Zi Yun.

So if you want to search for these resources, you have to wait until the year of the monkey and the month of the horse?

"Just right?" (Then what's the good news?)

Before Xingchen came to his senses, Cancan couldn't help but curiously asked.

"What's the good news..." Xu Ran smiled, "One of the resources is the Star Trace Nocturnal Stone."

Starmark luminous stone…

Recalling the name of this resource, Xingchen suddenly felt a little familiar.

After thinking about where this familiarity came from, its amethyst-like eyes suddenly burned with fighting intent.

The battle of all races!

"In this battle of all races, we have another reason to compete for third place." Xu Ran spread his hands with a slightly strange expression.

Other competitions are all about fighting for first place.

But this time, the two rewards for first place were not suitable for him and the three little ones, so competing for third place became the goal.

"Xi Lv~" (We have to decide on the third place!)

Xingchen readjusted his mentality and nodded heavily.

Although there is one more evolution main material than Zi Yun, there are already clues to one of them, which means there is not much after all.

"Okay, the evolutionary routes have been assigned, let's do the skill fusion next." Xu Ran smiled and tapped the skill fusion stone column on the small blackboard with chalk, "This time the skill fusion stone, There are quite a few.”

"Cha~" (I won't argue this time.)

Cancan waved his hand and took the lead in giving up the opportunity to fuse skills.

Both Zi Yun and Xingchen are in the stage of evolutionary preparation, so let them make a choice first. Their evolutionary route has not yet been obtained, so they can wait.

"Meow!" (Then I need to integrate new skills first!)

Zi Yun's eyes lit up and he spoke immediately.

According to its calculations, the skill fusion stones this time are enough to fuse three four-star skills. Such a lot of resources must be put to good use!

Hearing Zi Yun's words, a flash of thought flashed in Xingchen's eyes.

Now, both it and Zi Yun are in the evolutionary preparation stage. According to the rules of the team, both have the same priority resource qualifications.

However, it is still willing to let Zi Yun choose first.

After all, Zi Yun's completion of evolution is a prerequisite for the completion of its evolution ritual.

As for its evolution, it's okay to be a little later.

"Xi Lv~" (I'll just fuse it with a four-star.)

Xingchen neighed, with a bit of joy and expectation in his eyes.

Seeing that my teammates in the team have four-star skills one after another, if I don’t envy them, it’s a lie.

Now, it finally has a chance to integrate its first four-star skill.

After the three little ones reached an agreement, the skill fusion belonging to Zi Yun started first.

"Which one are you going to fuse?" Xu Ran clicked on the skill fusion stone and asked with a smile.

"Meow~" (Thunder strike!)

The three-star skill Heavenly Thunder Strike is formed by Zi Yun's evolved two-star skill Thunder, which was raised to stars with the help of the three-star skill scroll.

As for the other three fusion skills it corresponds to, Zi Yun already has ideas.

Two of them are the two long-range attack skills of Piercing Thunder Spear and Thunder Punishment Spear. The last skill requires choosing an adapted fighting skill to meet the evolution requirements of dual-system four-star skills.

Imitating Xingchen's previous operation, he used 40 skill fragments to exchange for an adapted two-star skill, and then used a three-star skill scroll to upgrade it to three stars. After that, Zi Yun's third four-star skill fusion began.

five…

Ten…

Fifteen…

Xu Ran, who had been able to remain calm despite the "fusion failure" prompts one after another, finally saw the colorful words "fusion successful" when he fused skills for the 44th time.

[★★★Sky Thunder Strike (Sun Halo Level)] (187/50000) [+ ]

↓↓↓

[★★★★Jingxiao Thunder Fury (Sun Halo Level)] (187/50000) [+ ]

Looking at the skills that faded and the new skills that appeared on Zi Yun's panel, Xu Ran had a look of surprise on his face.

He remembered that Zi Yun's new evolutionary form was called Jingxiao Zhuyun.

The name of this four-star skill is very appropriate for the evolved type...

Don't know how effective it will be.

Thinking of this, Xu Ran turned to look at Zi Yun.

"Meow~"

Zi Yun made a very pleasant sound, with a look of satisfaction on his face.

The familiar feeling of happiness of becoming stronger appears again!

Aware of Xu Ran's questioning gaze, it calmed down and began to sense the brand new skill it had just mastered.

After a while, a look of surprise appeared in Zi Yun's eyes.

Its third four-star skill is as powerful as ever!

Whether it is Thunder Strike, Piercing Thunder Spear or Thunder Punishment Spear, they are all long-range attack skills of the thunder system.

Since there are almost no long-range output skills in the fighting system, Xu Ran and Zi Yun finally made a selection and selected a two-star skill that was barely above the long-range output: Cloud Throw.

This is a throwing type fighting skill, which can probably be regarded as a long-range output skill.

The fusion success rate given by the system proves that such a choice is feasible.

After this skill is upgraded using the three-star skill scroll, its nature has not changed much, but its power has been greatly enhanced.

When it was integrated with three thunder-type remote output skills, a qualitative change occurred.

Jingxiao Thunder Fury is a very flexible output type skill.

It has two different output modes.

The first is to summon the unpredictable thunder of the sky and bombard it in the specified direction.

This is a range damage skill. The closer the target is to the central area, the higher the damage it will receive. The full damage will be achieved in one hit. Not only can it instantly kill the same level, but it can also easily make the opponent lose the ability to resist.

The second method is to summon the Jingxiao Thunder, but instead of bombarding it in the specified direction, it gathers it in the hand to form a Jingxiao Thunder Spear with unpredictable power.

This thunder gun can be used in combat. It can be used in conjunction with Zi Yun's immortal combat body to achieve a complementary effect. It can also launch the second attack method of Jingxiao Thunderfury.

Throw.

Throwing the Jingxiao Thunder Gun can instantly form a small range of high-power lightning piercing, bringing powerful single-target killing effects.

Compared with the range damage of the first output method, the lethality of the second method is undoubtedly higher.

"Great!" After learning about Zi Yun's new skills, Xu Ran also had a look of surprise on his face.

Although Zi Yun gained the long-range output skill of Thunder during his last evolution, Zi Yun actually did not use this skill much.

After all, Zi Yun has more effective output skills than falling thunder.

Now, Jingxiao Thunder Fury, which has been upgraded to a four-star skill after skill fusion, can be said to be a wave of epic enhancements. It has not only become Zi Yun's strongest output method after God's Punishment, but also takes into account both melee and Remotely.

In this way, whether it is the fighting type or the thunder type, it can be used flexibly.

"Let's start the fusion of the next skill!" Xu Ran took a deep breath and spoke proactively.

Zi Yun has seven innate skills in total.

Now three innate skills have been upgraded to four-star skills. The four skills that have not yet been upgraded are Shaking Thunder Sky Sound, Leaving Traces of Electricity, Destroying Thunder Claws and King's Power.

Just three four-star skills changed Zi Yun's strength drastically. Xu Ran was already looking forward to how powerful Zi Yun would be when all his talents and skills were upgraded to four-star skills.

"Which skill do you plan to integrate next?" Xu Ran asked curiously.

Hearing Xu Ran's question, Zi Yun looked thoughtful.

Among the three four-star skills that have been mastered so far, Divine Punishment is a bottom-of-the-box explosive skill that cannot be used easily.

The Immortal Combat Body is a melee skill, and it can also transform into a long sword to fight with Xu Ran.

Jingxiao Thunderfury takes into account both melee and ranged combat.

In this way, what is missing now is...

A determined look appeared in Zi Yun's eyes.

It has already decided.

"Meow!" (Fusion electric shock leaves traces!)
