Destiny Beast Taming

Chapter 87 Evolve, Deathwhisper Butterfly!

Lin Zhuo knew that Xu Zhi had severe obsessive-compulsive disorder, and that he would be afraid if he really only said half of what he wanted to say.

Before Xu Zhi returned, he would keep pestering him.

"Alright, let's get down to business. Another Chosen One has emerged in our Star City."

"Atao and I both think his potential rating is SS, and we suggest that you be his mentor."

There was another long silence on the other end of the phone, followed by a speechless reply.

"If you don't want to tell me, that's fine, but you can't joke about something like this."

"Two chosen ones have emerged in just one week. Do you think I'm stupid?"

"You think the Chosen One is like the Golden Crying Phoenix Chicken raised by Jin Cai's family, laying a golden egg every week?!"

Upon hearing Xu Zhi's words, Lin Zhuo handed the phone directly to Wen Tao.

"Atao, you talk to Weiwei."

Lin Zhuo knew that he and Xu Zhi often joked with each other, and this matter did indeed sound too shocking.

It's normal for Xu Zhi not to believe it!

Not only Xu Zhi, but if I were out and about and suddenly heard such news, I probably wouldn't believe it either.

Wen Tao is usually serious and never jokes with people, so it was a good opportunity for Wen Tao to explain Shen Xuan's situation to Xu Zhi.

If I don't finish this slice of chilled watermelon that I cut a while ago, it will get cold soon.

Wen Tao talked with Xu Zhi for nearly twenty minutes before hanging up the phone.

After hanging up the phone, Xu Zhi excitedly crushed the peach in his hand, splashing the juice onto a young couple next to him.

"Sister Weiwei, didn't you say you wanted to be a lady? Calm down."

"Yes, Sister Weiwei, the peaches are so delicious, how can you waste food?"

You Weiwei glanced at the young man and woman beside her and asked with some curiosity,

"I took you two to the exchange meeting for the younger generation of chosen ones, how come you two weren't affected at all?"

Upon hearing this, the young man with almond-shaped eyes elegantly wiped the peach juice that had splashed on him and spoke in a refined manner.

"What's there to be upset about?"

"Even if I suffer a setback, my potential rating won't turn into S+."

"Besides, among the younger generation of chosen ones, the majority are those with an S-level potential rating."

"I'm going to try a different approach. When I get back this time, I'll follow Uncle Cai and learn how to make money."

Bai Chen comes from a prominent family in Star City. The Bai family's status in Star City is a level higher than that of established forces like the Rare Insect Merchant Guild.

Bai Chen was born with a silver spoon in his mouth, and after awakening the Order Beast, he was directly appointed as the young master of the Bai family.

Rather than fighting, Bai Chen was born with the responsibility of developing the Bai family.

Bai Chen's privileged background prevented him from ever belittling himself, and he was able to maintain a positive attitude towards everything.

Upon hearing Xu Zhi's words, Yu Juanjuan first glanced at the peach that Xu Zhi had crushed with pity.

He then quickly finished the chicken roll he was holding before speaking.

"I am a pure support-type Chosen One. Whether I perform well in battle or not depends on how well my teammates support me."

"I've been off-airing for almost a month because of Sister Weiwei's participation in this exchange meeting."

"I've lost about 70,000 to 80,000 followers!"

"After we go back, I'm going to take a month off from school and do live streams at home to regain the fans I lost."

Upon hearing Bai Chen and Yu Juanjuan's words, You Weiwei couldn't help but rub her forehead.

Bai Chen is one thing, but how could Yu Juanjuan, this exquisitely beautiful girl who looks like a porcelain doll, say something like "just giving up"?

However, considering that Yu Juanjuan does mukbang (eating broadcasts) and eats every day because of the rules and authority held by the Order Beast, it's a different story.

You Weiwei sighed softly, and then said.

"Our Star City has produced two more Chosen Ones. In addition to the healing-type Chosen One I told you about last time, we also have a combat-type Chosen One with the potential to be double S-rank."

"You two shouldn't feel too much pressure then!"

You Weiwei was about to say a few more words of comfort to Bai Chen and Yu Juanjuan, but before she could finish speaking, Yu Juanjuan spoke first.

"Sister Vivi, our Starry City finally has a combat-type Chosen One with a potential rating of SS! That's fantastic!"

"I never wanted to form my own six-person team in the first place; it's too much trouble and it would interfere with my live stream."

"I might as well just join their team!"

"Let's hurry back. When we get back, I'll ask them if their team needs any more people."

"We're all from the same batch of Chosen Ones, so it doesn't matter if I'm a little older than them, right?"

Bai Chen's expression remained unchanged upon hearing this, but his tone carried a hint of excitement as he spoke.

"This is fantastic news!"

"Our Starry City has produced another talented individual!"

As he spoke, Bai Chen was already making plans in his mind.

When Bai Chen learned that a healing-type chosen one had emerged in Starry City, he was already thinking about how to build a good relationship with Zhong Yi after returning to Starry City.

Bai Chen was now pondering how to befriend these two newly emerged chosen ones.

Since I am one of the two chosen ones, it will definitely be easier for me to befriend them than for others.

Instead of feeling pressured and jealous because of the excellence of their peers, they feel a sense of envy.

Bai Chen wanted to make friends with outstanding peers.

It doesn't matter if you're not good enough yourself, as long as your friends are good enough, they can still be a help to you, right?

Looking at Bai Chen and Yu Juanjuan, who seemed completely unaffected, You Weiwei was unsure whether to feel happy or not. She thought that the chosen ones of Star City would be very harmonious and free from internal strife.

The real problem lies in Juanjuan's laid-back, lazy, and trouble-averse personality.

And Bai Chen's underlying thought that he only thinks about developing the family and does not focus on personal improvement.

After staring at Bai Chen and Yu Juanjuan for a while, You Weiwei wiped her hands, which were covered in peach juice.

He tossed another peach from the fruit platter to Yu Juanjuan.

"Both of you need to attend the party tonight. We'll be heading back early tomorrow morning."

"Juanjuan's party tonight will be recorded as a video, so please try to control yourself."

"Just finish what you have on your own table, and don't go and steal food from other people's tables."

Mingming saw that Yu Juanjuan was eating the peach and nodded obediently, completely satisfied.

You Weiwei was still worried and gave Bai Chen some instructions.

"Bai Chen, keep an eye on Juanjuan."

At this time, Zhong Yi and Zheng Yufeng had returned to the Evolution Shop.

Upon seeing Zhong Yi, Zhong Ling hurriedly stepped forward and said, "Young Master, Uncle Huai just called me and said that he has found a seller for the low-end goods in the shop."

"Iron Arm has already packed all the goods into storage bags, and someone will come to make the deal soon."

At this point, Zhong Ling's expression suddenly became serious. In the past, Zhong Ling rarely spoke with such an expression and with such interest.

"Young Master, you told me before that I should decide for myself which direction my natal beast should develop."

"I've made up my mind. I hope my natal beast will not focus on combat, but rather develop its functionality as much as possible."

Zhong Ling spoke these words to Zhong Yi after careful consideration.

Before participating in the Soul Awakening Ceremony, Zhong Ling didn't know what a Chosen One was.

They had never even heard of the term "Chosen One".

When Zhong Ling first learned that Zhong Yi had become a Chosen One, she was very happy for him.

However, ever since entering the Horned Demon Secret Realm, Zhong Ling, who was by Zhong Yi's side, could clearly feel the gap between herself and Zhong Yi.

This gap widened as Red Princess continued to devour the Horned Demon.

At that moment, Zhong Ling didn't say anything, but her heart was already filled with pressure.

She was afraid that the gap between herself and Zhongyi was too big, and that she was no longer suitable to stay in this team.

Chung Ling has been working as a shop assistant in this little shop called Evolution since she was old enough to understand things.

Zhong Ling, a servant, has only love in her life.

The thought of possibly separating from Zhong Yi and no longer being able to stay in the team made Zhong Ling feel as if her soul had been ripped from her body.

Especially after Shen Xuan was brought back by Zhong Yi, Shen Xuan also became a chosen one.

In the current trio, no matter how you look at it, Zhong Ling is the one who's holding the team back.

After much thought, Zhong Ling felt that the only way to stay in the team with peace of mind was to develop the functionality of her natal beast rather than to fight.

Otherwise, if the gap is too large, even if Zhong Yi is willing to let Zhong Ling continue to stay in the team,

Zhong Ling didn't want to stay and hold Zhong Yi back!

Because Zhong Ling knew that the six-person team formed by the Beast Tamers was to explore a special secret realm that could only be entered by a maximum of six people.

The weakest member of the team will shift the pressure onto the other teammates.

Seeing the serious expression on Zhong Ling's face, Zhong Yi probably guessed what was on Zhong Ling's mind.

Zhong Yi agrees with Zhong Ling's choice.

"Little Bell, your Soul Vein Mother Butterfly is still at the Mortal Beast level. Because we still need to explore the Level 1 Secret Realm, your Soul Vein Mother Butterfly level cannot be promoted to the Transcendent level."

"However, you should have already sensed the difference between your low-quality Shattered Blade Butterflies and the high-quality Blade Butterflies that were upgraded to bronze-quality Blade Butterflies."

"Even without an increase in rank, the difference in combat power is enormous compared to before."

"Once your Soul Vein Mother Butterfly advances to the Transcendent level, its soul capacity will be sufficient for you to control more than fifty Blade Butterflies at the Transcendent level."

"You really don't need to improve your offense. Improving the functionality of the Deathwhisper is more useful to you than improving its single-target or AoE attack capabilities."

When she said this, Zhongyi's tone became a bit more serious than before.

"Little Bell, although you are not a Chosen One, your talent as a Beastmaster has given you a great opportunity."

"The subsequent investment of resources can also guarantee the quality of the butterfly beasts that your Soul Vein Mother Butterfly has a one-way contract with."

"Your role on the battlefield may not be any less important than that of a Chosen One with S-rank potential talent."

"Actually, Brother Zhao and I have discussed how to train your destined pet, the Deathwhisper Butterfly."

"If you choose to focus more on functionality for the Deathwhisper, using the Rebirth Mushroom to induce the Deathwhisper is a good start."

"When Brother Zhao came back yesterday, he brought back two Rebirth Mushrooms."

"We now have time to see what unique traits the Deathwhisper will gain by inducing a quality upgrade through the Rebirth Mushroom."

The idea of ​​using the Rebirth Mushroom to induce the Deathwhisper Butterfly to improve its quality was proposed by Zhong Yi.

Zhao Kai originally intended to use Soul Wave Grass to induce Zhong Ling's Death Whisper Butterfly, allowing this necromancer beast, which is adept at manipulating souls, to deepen its control over souls.

By combining soul and death energy, the Deathwhisper can gain some control-related skills.

While control is indeed a support capability on the battlefield, it is only a minor function in terms of overall functionality.

Zhong Yi's suggestion to use the Rebirth Mushroom to enhance the Death Whisper Butterfly opened up new avenues for Zhao Kai.

The Rebirth Mushroom is a soul-type fungus with extremely strong hallucinogenic abilities.

In wild environments where many organisms die, the resurrection mushroom is not uncommon.

If a normal person eats *Gynostemma pentaphyllum*, they will age rapidly within a few months.

The body is like a funnel, constantly losing vitality.

A person on the verge of death who eats the "Resurrection Mushroom" will experience a period of brief respite before death.

Many things that I couldn't remember while I was alive will suddenly flood my mind.

Zhong Ling knew nothing about strengthening beast taming techniques, nor had she studied any related knowledge.

However, Chung Ling knew very well that listening to Chung Yi was always the right thing to do.

In the Horned Demon Realm, because the Soul Flower needs to absorb life and soul energy, Red Princess also needs to devour flesh and bone materials.

This means that the Deathwhisper butterfly basically has no chance to appear.

The Deathwhisper Butterfly, now upgraded to level 10 of the Mortal Beast class, is already the size of two palms.

The purple spots on the black body became more vibrant than before.

With each flap of its wings, it looked as if two purple eyes were calmly gazing ahead.

Previously, Zhongyi didn't have many Soul-Breaking Soil, but now the Soul-Controlling Flower has a large number of monster corpses.

It can continuously extract life and soul energy from the corpses of monsters, and the Soul-Breaking Soil is now enough to fill a 500 ml glass bottle.

Strengthening a mortal beast-level beast with the Soul-Flowing Soil only requires a few drops.

Zhong Yi took out the brightly colored Rebirth Mushroom and placed it on the table, saying to Zhong Ling.

"The little bell allows your Deathrattle Butterfly to absorb as many of the Resurrection Mushroom's spores as possible."

As he spoke, Zhong Yi made the Soul-Controlling Flower, which was parasitizing his soul, extend a filament.

The jet-black, light-absorbing Soul Soil was applied to the cap of the Rebirth Mushroom.

These Soul-Breaking Soils are like living things and are not absorbed by the Rebirth Mushrooms.

Instead, after the Deathwhisper absorbed enough of the spores of the Resurrection Mushroom, they flowed to the Deathwhisper's mouthparts and entered its body through the mouthparts.

In that instant, a large amount of death energy surged out from the Death Whisper Butterfly's body.

It essentially completely enveloped the body of the Death Whisper Butterfly in this mass of death energy.

But soon the butterfly wings dispersed the deathly aura, and the four wings of the Deathwhisper Butterfly closed up together.

The butterfly's wings changed from four to two, and the closed wings rapidly increased in size.

It quickly grew from the size of two palms to the size of a washbasin.

The colors on the butterfly wings were no longer the monotonous black and purple, but rather the mesmerizingly vibrant colors of the caps of the Rebirth Mushroom.
