Becoming a Dark Iron Beastmaster

Bai Zian harbored some doubts, so he employed the [Eye of Apocalypse] to gain insights into the matter.

[You are studying the evolution of spirit beasts, whether they can acquire new talents and skills, and seeking enlightenment from heaven.]

[The evolution of spirit beasts does carry a certain probability of obtaining new talents and skills, directly tied to the method of evolution.]

[The more advanced the evolution method used, the greater the benefits after evolution, and the higher the likelihood of acquiring new talents or skills.]

After perusing the divine guidance, Bai Zian comprehended the underlying principles. Ultimately, it boiled down to the essence of evolution. The sophistication of the evolution method and the quality of the materials utilized determined the post-evolution benefits. In Bai Zian's case, he had chosen the most advanced evolution path for the white-scaled fish—transforming it into a Jiutian Kunpeng, a legendary deity. It was only natural for the evolved spirit beast to gain new talents and skills.

"Does this mean that as the white shadow giant scale fish continues to evolve, it could potentially acquire even more talents? This is truly remarkable," Bai Zian pondered, considering the future growth of his pet.

However, Bai Jingchong, who had been observing, could no longer contain his curiosity and questioned Bai Zian, "Xiao An, why has your white-scaled fish grown so large after evolution? Are you planning to make it a tank-type with high defense?"

Bai Jingchong's inquiry prompted Bai Zian to clarify his intentions. "I don't have such a plan for now. The size of the white shadow giant scale fish is likely due to the advanced evolution method and superior materials used."

Bai Jingchong, still perplexed by the size of the evolved white shadow giant scale fish, suggested, "Xiao An, let's put your pet to the test in some battles. It will help us better understand its capabilities."

Excitement gleamed in Bai Zian's eyes as he agreed, "Certainly, Grandpa. I'm eager to see how the white shadow giant scale fish performs." Swiftly, arrangements were made in the Bai family's training ground, where a formidable wild spirit beast awaited as the opponent.

As Bai Zian stood beside the training ground, he commanded with determination, "Understood, white shadow giant scale fish! Let's showcase your newfound strength."

The white shadow giant scale fish, responding to Bai Zian's directive, unleashed its power with a commanding presence. The onlookers, including Bai Jingchong, witnessed in awe as the immense water column burst forth from the fish's mouth, striking the wild spirit beast with unparalleled force.

Bai Zian couldn't help but exclaim, "Water Burst!"

The potent water column surged, engulfing the opponent and shattering it into submission. Bai Jingchong, nodding approvingly, remarked, "Impressive, Xiao An. Your white shadow giant scale fish has truly become a force to be reckoned with."

Bai Zian, wearing a proud smile, replied, "Thank you, Grandpa. I believe there's much more potential for it to unlock in the future."

Bai Jingchong observed the training ground of the Bai family, his eyes widening in disbelief. The evolved White Shadow Giant Scale Fish, born from the humble white-scaled fish, effortlessly dispatched the top bronze canine spirit beast with a single move. The display of real combat power was astounding, considering the White Shadow Giant Scale Fish was merely at the primary black iron level, far from reaching bronze.

"This combat power is unbelievable," Bai Jingchong marveled. He was certain that the White Shadow Giant Scale Fish had not revealed its true strength, having only used a tactic against the bronze-level spirit beasts. Intrigued, he instructed his subordinates, "Find me a primary silver spirit beast."

Bai Zian, understanding his father's intent to test the limits, did not object. A silver wolf-like spirit beast was brought forth – its gray-black body and silver claws exuded a fierce aura. Bai Zian commanded the White Shadow Giant Scale Fish to engage in battle.

Unlike previous encounters, this fight was more challenging. The two adversaries exchanged relentless attacks, but ultimately, the White Shadow Giant Scale Fish emerged victorious, utilizing the water erosion purple skill to defeat the silver wolf-shaped spirit beast.

The revelation of the White Shadow Giant Scale Fish's true combat power astonished Bai Jingchong. The creature, at the primary black iron level, demonstrated the ability to contend with a primary silver spirit beast. Bai Zian shared the surprise but attributed the feat to the evolutionary enhancements the fish underwent.

The evolution not only elevated the White Shadow Giant Scale Fish's level but also significantly boosted its overall abilities. Bai Zian recognized that the growth surpassed that of other spirit beasts. Delighted with the results, Bai Zian joyfully stored the White Shadow Giant Scale Fish in the mythical beast space.

Aside from benefiting the pet itself, the evolution bestowed advantages upon Bai Zian as well. He sensed a unique power coursing through his body, enhancing his physical prowess. With this newfound strength, Bai Zian officially became a Dark Iron Beastmaster, a considerable advancement.

Yet, what intrigued Bai Zian more was the heightened power of beast-fighting within him after reaching the Black Iron rank. This power allowed him to condense a protective cover, a crucial skill for a Beastmaster. Typically, this skill was achievable at the silver level, but Bai Zian felt an exceptional strength within him, surpassing the norm for a black iron-level Beastmaster.

As Bai Zian contemplated these developments, he couldn't help but feel the extraordinary potential that lay ahead for both himself and his remarkable White Shadow Giant Scale Fish.
