“How can this be called a pipe dream? Mingxi has only been awake for less than three years, and she is already an SS-Class Beast Master. Looking at her eight Beast Tamers, not counting the three that are evolving and that Mermaid, all of them are Saint-grade.

Is this reasonable?

Does this make sense?

So I suspect her Beast Tamers were all synchronized evolutions before. What kind of pipe dream is that?

The scheming frog keeps touching my stomach. I think my guess is quite reliable!”

“...”

Mingxi listened to these people’s ‘whispers’ without much reaction.

“Xiao Xi, why do I feel like their evolution is taking a bit long?”

Shen Linhua walked around the three cocoons curiously, but he didn’t get close. He didn’t want to affect the evolution of the three.

Upon hearing this, Mingxi frowned slightly, “It has indeed been a while.”

She had noticed it long ago; this time, Lan Yue’s evolution was much longer than usual.

An evolution that normally only takes two or three minutes had already exceeded ten minutes this time.

“It’s probably because one of their Beast Tamers hadn’t reached the evolution standard, or the evolution conditions they needed to meet were very strict and not easily achievable.”

Chu Kuangsheng said, “But because of synchronized evolution, they were lucky enough to enter evolution, but they still need to make up for the corresponding ‘defects,’ so the evolution time has been extended.”

“Master, your instructor is right. He’s quite smart.”

Guangguang affirmed.

Mingxi didn’t expect synchronized evolution to have such a setting: “Extended? How long will it be extended exactly?”

An hour is fine, two hours is acceptable, and three or four hours is not unbearable.

But if it’s longer.

It’s not that she can’t wait.

But there’s still a competition tomorrow.

Chu Kuangsheng and Guangguang said in unison as if they had agreed: “Uncertain.”

Guangguang then added:

“Master, perhaps you can try feeding them natural treasures; this should more or less shorten their evolution time.”

“Can I? Will it not disturb their evolution?”

“Don’t worry, you are their Beast Tamers, and their vital energy is connected to you, so they will not reject your approach. Moreover, this state is actually very rare; they can quickly digest all external energy and convert it into what they need. After evolution, their total energy value might directly exceed Yuan Shi Lin Yu and Nan Suo Luo.”

“I understand.”

Mingxi didn’t expect them to counterattack.

But being able to improve is a good thing.

She’s not short on materials!

Then, a large group of people watched as Mingxi began to take things out and send them one by one into the light cocoons.

“Holy crap! That’s a Battle Soul Blood Crystal!”

“Oh my god! What a large piece of Sinking Star Black Stone!”

“Myriad Poison Grass? Profound Ice Vine? Blazing Flame Fruit? Geng Metal Pearl? Crimson Blood Fire Crystal???? No, where did she get so many sss-grade materials? She couldn’t have emptied the Dragonflower Country’s national treasury, could she?”

Every material Mingxi took out was extremely rare and precious, something that even these high-ranking individuals would covet and drool over.

“Didn’t you forget? Not long ago, she found a Descent Organization supply warehouse in Shadow Abyss.”

Only then did everyone remember this matter.

The Descent Organization has existed for no less time than a country. The amount of treasures in their warehouses hidden in places like Shadow Abyss is immeasurable.

And she herself has many opportunities.

It’s truly as if God is chasing after her to feed her, making it hard not to envy, be jealous, and hate.

Looking at Mingxi, who was wealthy and showed no distress over those materials, they particularly wanted to rob her.

“Ah, ah, ah, that’s Meteorite Essence Gold. She just used it like that?”

“What’s Meteorite Essence Gold? I just clearly saw her throw a piece of Life Source Essence Gold in!”

“Oh my goodness, what a waste! Such a waste!”

Mingxi had no time to bother with these people who wished they could die of heartache for her. She indeed had so many good things that she couldn’t use them all, after all, Augustus’s secret treasure trove was no less impressive than the Descent Organization’s warehouse.

As Mingxi ‘fed’ them without regard for cost, the ‘breathing’ frequency of Lan Yue’s three light cocoons accelerated significantly, and the white light became even brighter.

However, no evolutionary anomaly appeared.

Time passed hour by hour. Except for one or two people who needed to report the situation of the underground laboratory to higher-level leaders and those who escorted Karen, Atuka, and others away, everyone else remained in this bloody and messy °• N 𝑜 v 𝑒 l i g h t •° underground space.

Mingxi had stopped feeding the light cocoons.

It wasn’t that she had run out of good things, but that she was afraid of over-supplementing them.

After all, too much of a good thing can be bad.

“Miss Ming, one of the materials my ice-type Beast Tamer needs to evolve to the next stage is Profound Ice Vine. I wonder if you still have any?”

“Ming Shen, are you willing to sell Life Source Essence Gold?”

“...”

A group of people, having nothing else to do, surprisingly started to seek transactions with Mingxi.

There were people from Dragonflower Country and also from Xiao Li Country.

Although there were both good and bad people among them, Mingxi also understood the principle that having more friends opens more paths. So, as long as it wasn’t something Golden Yuanbao’s eight needed, and as long as it wasn’t excessive, Mingxi did not refuse.

Anyway, with clear pricing, and since these people weren’t short on money, she wouldn’t suffer a loss.

Some also traded goods for goods.

Even Chu Kuangsheng traded a section of Azure Bamboo with Mingxi, exchanging it for the even rarer Blood-Patterned Stone Marrow.

The chaotic underground space inexplicably turned into a small trading market.

“It’s almost 7 o’clock, Xiao Xi, your competition today...”

Shen Linhua had hardly had a quiet moment all night, either pacing back and forth or circling the three light cocoons.

Mingxi sat in front of the light cocoons, “If I really can’t make it, I’ll just have to forfeit.”

She had a doubles match in the morning.

Although she still had Golden Yuanbao and five others she could summon, Beast Tamers must be present during a competition, and there was no way she would abandon Lan Yue and the three others who were evolving to leave.

Even if the embassy was confident they could protect Lan Yue and them well.

Sigh.

Who would have thought that an evolution would last so long?

Mingxi was truly torn between laughter and tears.

“Instructor, you should go to the arena. Good luck with your competition!”

Chu Kuangsheng also had a competition in the morning; there was no need for him to wait here with her.

It wasn’t a matter of life or death anyway.

Chu Kuangsheng nodded: “Then I’ll go prepare.”

“Go, go.”

Before the competition even started, the news that Mingxi, a popular contestant, might be absent from the second doubles group match had already spread among the players and spectators.

Also spreading was the news that the entire SWS Advanced Level spa club building, including its underground section, had been blown sky-high, half of the central district was sealed off, and an illegal laboratory conducting inhumane human and Transcendent creature experiments was hidden beneath the club.

Because the incident happened during the Starsea Cup competition, precisely in Saint Shield City, coupled with the large-scale anomaly produced when the book of rules merged.

This directly caused the incident to become a major event of alliance-wide significance.
