Beast Taming, my intelligence updates daily.

Chapter 331 The Ice and Fire Giant Rock
Yan Guo's method was to select those explosive stones that were less able to absorb fire energy through generations of screening. After several generations of breeding and the use of special medicines, they finally cultivated an improved variety of explosive stones.

Because of the modifications, these Bomb Rocks are not very powerful and are much weaker than wild Bomb Rocks.

However, these Boom Rocks are stable and can evolve smoothly to the next stage.

"Many people from the United States say that they have taken the research on popping stones to the extreme, and people from other countries cannot surpass their research."

However, nothing in this world is absolute.

"I'll be the one to shatter that perception."

A glint of intelligence flashed in Boom Stone's eyes.

The researchers' preconceived notion of them is that they are simple-minded and short-tempered, but they never imagined that the popping stones actually have the ability to think.

The lily rose shivered; it seemed to dislike the chilly air.

The Frost Rock was like a giant iceberg, emanating a chilling aura that made Lily and Rose feel very uncomfortable.

The lily rose is like a large flower bud, and the color of the bud is greatly influenced by its environment.

It is said that the purer the white of the petals, the higher the price.

"Oh, right, I should add something here."

"The second stage of the assessment is related to the third round of assessment, so please make sure to train your pets well."

"Researchers who advance to the third round can take these bred pets away."

The host's words made the researchers present's eyes light up.

After all, it's hard to accept that the pet you've worked so hard to raise will just stay with the organizing committee.

In half a month, it's easy for feelings to develop to some extent.

It would be even better if I could take the pet with me.

Moreover, resources are supplied without limit for the next two weeks. In other words, we can use the resources of the United States to improve the level of our pets. Why not?

After hearing the news, everyone put in their best effort to try and advance to the third round.

Ye Bai smiled after hearing the news.

The US isn't at a loss, since the entire lab is covered in cameras that record the researchers' every move.

Compared to the loss of some raw materials, the secrets that some countries keep to themselves are the intelligence that the United States wants to know.

However, Ye Bai didn't hold back. Since you want to know how I researched it, I'll let you record it openly. But whether you can learn it is up to you.

【Name: Boom Stone】

[Gender: no gender]

[Attribute: Rock/Fire]

[Level: Tier 2, Level 5]

Skill: Burning Flames (Proficient): A large amount of flames erupt from the body, then attack the opponent.

Fireball (Proficient): Open your mouth and breathe out fireballs, each the size of a basketball.

Exploding Fireball (Proficient): Open your mouth and spew out a compressed explosive fireball. The fireball will explode upon contact with the opponent.

Big Bang (Skilled): Pounce on your opponent, grab them tightly with your arms, and then explode your body.

[Evolution Path 1: Explosive Stone to Explosive Rock; materials required for evolution are as follows:]

[Evolution Route 2: Blast Rock, the materials required for evolution are as follows:.]

[Evolution Route 3: Ice-Fire Rock – Ice-Fire Giant Rock. Materials required for evolution are as follows:]

The evolution materials required for Boom Rock to evolve into Boom Rock are not many. So what if Ye Bai cultivates Boom Rock into Boom Rock and Boom Rock?

The score will definitely not be very high, and it will also waste a lot of time.

As for the other evolutionary path, Ice-Fire-Rock, it is extremely valuable. If it evolves into Ice-Fire Giant Rock, it will be of great significance.

Ye Bai guessed that the third round would be like the Yan Kingdom's Young Lin Cup, where he would be placed on a deserted island.

You need to keep your own bred pets for about half a month, otherwise how can you test their power?

Besides, how could the people of America be so kind as to allow you to take away the pet you raised?

Therefore, Ye Bai plans to make the most of America's resources during this period to strengthen his pets.

Then Ye Bai's gaze fell on the lily rose.

This guy looks timid.

Its head was tucked inside the flower bud.

Her eyes were watery and she looked quite cute.

Its flower buds have petals that emit an orange-yellow glow.

【Name: Lily Rose】

[Gender: no gender]

[Level: Tier 2, Level 1]

[Special Ability: Light Healing: When standing in sunlight, the pet's recovery speed is twice that of a normal pet.]

【Skill: Poison Powder (Mastery): Emits highly poisonous powder from the flower bud to attack enemies. Enemies who come into contact with the poisonous powder will instantly enter a poisoned state, and the poison will accumulate over time.

Sleep Powder (Mastery): Releases sleep powder from the flower bud to attack enemies. Enemies who come into contact with the sleep powder will instantly fall asleep and will not wake up until the Lily Rose stops releasing the sleep powder.

Paralyzing Powder (Mastery): Releases paralyzing powder from the flower bud to attack enemies. Enemies who come into contact with the paralyzing powder will instantly become paralyzed. The paralyzing effect will become more and more pronounced over time.

Anger Powder (Mastery): Emits an angry powder from the flower bud to attack enemies. Enemies who come into contact with the anger powder will instantly enter a frenzied state and will attack recklessly.

Sneeze Powder (not a built-in skill): Spreads a special powder that causes sneezing; enemies that come into contact with the powder will be in a state of constant sneezing.

Grassy Field: Summons a patch of grass that can heal injuries, providing continuous healing to the beast.

Detoxifying Vine Whip: Draw a thorny vine whip from the body and insert it into the poisoned beast to extract the toxins. It is also effective against paralysis and sleep.

[Evolution Route 1: Vine Rose - Giant Vine Rose, materials required for evolution are as follows:]

[Evolution Route 2: Poisonous Rose - Poisonous Enchantress, the materials required for evolution are as follows:.]

[Evolution Route 3: Life Rose – Rose Queen, the materials required for evolution are as follows:]

In terms of skills, this Lily Rose has only support skills, which brings great convenience to Ye Bai.

After evolving into the Life Rose, it is estimated that it will awaken more healing skills.

Ye Bai placed a series of orders on the screen, but the United States also provides limited resources, with a daily limit on resources.

This is done to prevent waste of resources; if more resources are needed, at least two-thirds of the judges must approve.

Ye Bai increased his resources in this way.

Because he quickly healed his pet in the first round, he left a good impression on the judges and passed with a unanimous vote, receiving a large amount of resources.

Time passed second by second. Ye Bai selected a large amount of icy rocks and ice-type rare and precious materials.

The whole lab felt like a cold storage room.

Boom Stone, however, felt so comfortable in this environment that it was about to fall asleep.

The fire within its body reached a balance with the coldness of the icy rock.

At this moment, the surface of the Boom Rock was covered with a thin layer of ice and snow, and it stood quietly like an old monk.

As for the lily rose, because it is sensitive to cold, Ye Bai applied for an additional laboratory.

Considering that Ye Baishen applied to breed two kinds of pets at the same time, it was normal for there to be problems, so the organizing committee generously provided an extra laboratory.

The two laboratories were placed side by side and connected by a corridor.

Ye Bai shuttled back and forth between the two laboratories.

Boom Rock only needs to be replaced periodically with Frozen Rock that has lost its coldness, and Ice-type rare materials can be added.

The lilies and roses, on the other hand, require even more careful care.

The judges were somewhat confused by Ye Bai's actions.

Isn't Boomstone a fire-type pet? Why add so many ice-type rare treasures? Has Ye Bai lost his mind?
Meanwhile, Ye Bai was living a leisurely life with Lily and Rose, occasionally adding some treasures full of vitality to Lily and Rose.

The judges were dumbfounded. What on earth was going on?
However, the judges were too embarrassed to show that they didn't understand, so they had to turn their attention to other judges.

[1. Giant Rock increases the chance of Icefire Rock evolving into Icefire Giant Rock, and enhances the power of the ice flames within Icefire Rock.]

[2. After consuming a highly poisonous gem, the Bobo Frog can evolve into the Venomous Bobo Frog. However, the Venomous Bobo Frog is extremely aggressive and bloodthirsty, so researchers need to be careful. Its venom can stimulate the neurons of the alien beast, causing severe pain.]

3. The Spring Sprout Cat, also known as the Tender Sprout Cat, has a tender sprout on its head that's called the "vegetable of the sky," and it tastes delicious. Every year, the Spring Sprout Cat can shed a tasty leaf.

[4. After a Rock Moss Turtle consumes a Fire-type rare treasure, it can evolve into a Magma Turtle. Its type will also change drastically, so be careful of lava attacks.]

5. After Chimchar masters the art of punching, it will evolve into Fire Fist Monkey, capable of shattering the ground with a single, effortless punch.

It seems that the Lava Turtle has not yet been defeated, otherwise information about the Lava Turtle would have been transmitted through the intelligence system.

Ye Bai and Lily Rose enjoyed a comfortable and pleasant life.

The faint fragrance emanating from the lilies and roses quickly lulled Ye Bai into a dream.

Principal McGonagall witnessed Ye Bai's actions and couldn't help but feel anxious.

Although she didn't particularly like Ye Bai, she knew of his talent.

However, Ye Bai started to relax noticeably in the second round, which is not a good sign.

Because the competition was closed, McGonagall couldn't rush into the lab to nag Ye Bai; she could only stand there anxiously.

"Damn Ye Bai, after your competition, I'll make you pay. This is about the honor of Yan Kingdom."

Many people wondered what was wrong with Ye Bai, and whether he was giving up on himself.

Because this is a global event, many countries are broadcasting it, and even Yan Country has a dedicated channel broadcasting the competition.

Many people felt that Ye Bai was slacking off and not taking the competition seriously.

At the Imperial Capital Research Institute, Su Qingxian and Zhang Jie were sipping tea.

A giant projection screen displayed exciting footage of the global research competition.

"Academician Su, why aren't you surprised at all? Everyone's saying Ye Bai is slacking off."

"Compared to other researchers who only sleep a few hours a day, Ye Bai is practically slacking off."

Zhang Jie pouted.

Even after she recovered from her death, she never gave up searching for her sister.

However, apart from knowing that her sister was her ex-boyfriend Xin Yuehu and that her whereabouts were unknown, there was no other information.

She also stayed by Academician Su's side for the time being. Firstly, the resurrection of the dead would definitely attract the greed of some people, and the older people are, the more they yearn for immortality.

Secondly, it also provided Zhang Jie with a place to stay.

Thirdly, Zhang Jie is Su Qingxian's bodyguard. Although she is more of a support type, her soul perception ability has been greatly enhanced since she returned from the dead.

A requiem can also wipe out a large number of enemies.

"You only saw Ye Bai's composure, but you didn't see the effort he put in."

“He has to replace the ice-type rare materials for the Boom Stone every day, and his hands are so cold they turn purple. You didn’t see that.”

"Ye Bai has an exceptional talent for research; perhaps only Xiao Han can rival him."

"Pity."

Before Zhang Jie could even ask who Xiao Han was, Su Qingxian immediately shut up and refused to answer.

She picked up a cup of tea and took a sip: "The battle at Nantianmen Fortress is about to be decided."

"Even the Lava Dragon Turtle couldn't withstand the full force of the two pillars of the nation's attack, let alone this guy who hasn't even advanced to the ninth rank yet."

"This lava dragon turtle will definitely become material for our research."

"The Dragon Balls will be added to the Yan Kingdom's treasury."

Su Qingxian had foreseen the outcome.

"That Boomstone is probably about to evolve after absorbing the cold energy of the Frozen Rock."

"As for that lily rose, I can't tell, but I believe Ye Bai knows what it is."

“There are periods of relaxation and rest in this research process. If you are too immersed in research, you will lose the ability to think.”

"Ye Bai performed well in this area, and I think he should have no problem advancing to the second round."

"When he was still a high school student, he had already developed multiple evolutionary paths for the ever-changing silkworm. If he hadn't had too many credits, he could have graduated with a doctorate long ago and become the youngest lecturer at the Imperial University."

Su Qingxian said with emotion that Zhang Lingxue had taken on a good apprentice, and it was also thanks to Ye Bai that she was able to firmly secure her position as deputy director.

This naturally caused dissatisfaction among others, including Vice Principal McGonagall.

The South Heavenly Gate Fortress slammed into the Lava Dragon Turtle's head with a punch from Hellfire.

The Lava Dragon Turtle let out a furious roar of resentment, then collapsed to the ground, unable to get up.

The area surrounding the Nantianmen Fortress was covered with a large amount of lava, including the corpses of many of the Lava Dragon Turtle's subordinates.

This time, the Yan Kingdom achieved a great victory by defeating the Lava Dragon Turtle.

From then on, the Nantianmen Fortress would undergo a period of steady development.

The Sunflower Fairy's clones were cleaning up the battlefield.

They avoided the lava-strewn ground and devoured the fire beast's corpse.
