He readily agreed. "In fact, the Light of Evolution isn’t limited to the silver we most commonly see; crimson, bright yellow, and emerald green are all possible."

He continued without pausing, "The fact that it’s a blood-red light only proves one thing: this evolution is far from simple. The resulting Pet Beast might be beyond anything we expect."

After hearing Zhou Chubin’s explanation, Chu Xiran recalled the name of the Evolutionary Form Li Qian had mentioned to her. She murmured meaningfully to herself, "If this evolution succeeds, it will indeed be beyond all your expectations."

Her words clearly held a deeper meaning.

However, no one immediately pressed her for details.

All they had to do now was wait and see.

"Now you’ve made me even more curious." Hearing this, Xue Huaiyu’s interest was clearly piqued.

While the others were talking amongst themselves, on Li Qian’s end, the evolution was entering its final stage.

The crimson Light of Evolution began to diffuse, a clear sign that the effects of the Blood Orchid Potion within Xiaoliu had been triggered.

With the evolution having reached this stage, Li Qian grew even more cautious, his focus absolute.

If it could clear this hurdle, the next step would be the true "Fish Leaping the Dragon Gate."

But if it failed, all would be for naught. It would be a bleak end, its path forward completely severed.

The crimson Light of Evolution grew increasingly intense, and Li Qian began to meticulously control the energy output through the Frostfire Array.

ROAR! ROAR! ROAR! A massive silhouette, about three meters long, slowly began to coalesce within the crimson Light of Evolution.

When the crimson Light of Evolution reached its zenith, forming a pillar of light that shot toward the sky, the evolution was finally complete.

The silhouette of a lizard-like Pet Beast grew increasingly distinct within the crimson light, becoming clearer and clearer...

Li Qian knew what it was: the exceedingly rare and powerful Western Salamander-type Pet Beast—the Frostfire Salamander.

Finally, the silhouette within the crimson Light of Evolution solidified into its final form.

ROAR! ROAR! ROAR! The enormous silhouette let out a series of bestial roars.

A moment later, the crimson light faded completely. The silhouette vanished, replaced by a majestic and imposing beast.

"Damn, it really looks like Godzilla from the Japanese movies of my past life!" Li Qian couldn’t help but exclaim, looking at the giant lizard. Its length had stretched from three meters to over ten, and its height was now nearly four meters.

Especially its dorsal fins, which were as sharp as crystal. Energy fluctuations flickered within them, pulsing red one moment and bluish-white the next.

Moreover, from what he already knew, every time the Frostfire Salamander used one of its Skills, its crystalline dorsal fins would light up with a corresponding color.

Fire Element Skills would cause them to glow crimson, as if filled with molten magma. Ice Element Skills would make them glow bluish-white, like a dense fog.

After a moment of awe, he didn’t hesitate for a second, immediately using his Eye of True Sight to check Xiaoliu’s new stats.

[Name: Frostfire Salamander]

[Attribute: Ice, Fire]

[Level: Tier Five Elite]

[Potential: Tier Nine Dominator]

[Skills: Flame Spray (Skilled), Flame Vortex (Skilled), Explosive Sparks (Beginner), Flame Dash (Beginner), Fierce Fire (Beginner), Ice Spike Break (Skilled), Frost Breath (Beginner), Ice Shield (Beginner), Blizzard (Beginner), Frost (Beginner), Dragon’s Tail (Beginner), Dragon Guardian (Beginner)]

Looking at the Frostfire Salamander’s frankly absurd stats, Li Qian couldn’t help but feel a surge of excitement.

"As expected of a rare Pet Beast whose Racial Potential surpasses the Cyan-Scaled Flood Dragon. Just looking at these attributes, it feels a bit overpowered," he muttered to himself.

ROAR! ROAR! ROAR!

Just as Li Qian was muttering to himself, the newly evolved Xiaoliu surveyed its own body. Feeling the torrential Energy surging within, it couldn’t contain its excitement and began to roar toward the heavens.

The roar echoed through nearly the entire Jiaoyang Cultivation Base.

Upon hearing it, many of the more timid Pet Beasts couldn’t help but tremble in fear.
