Chapter 039 Chapter 39 (Part 2)

Only after climbing onto the back of the colorful blue bird did Xia Muqing realize something was wrong.

Compared to a month ago, the body of the colorful bluebird has grown a lot bigger, its wings are more powerful, and its feathers are more dazzling than before.

As it flew through the sea of ​​clouds, its body seemed to be surrounded by brilliant rays of light. The light flowed out from the down on each of its wings and gathered together, like the Milky Way scattered across the sky, so beautiful that it was dazzling.

Behind this beauty, there is an increasing strong energy fluctuation. The huge mysterious power flows in the petite body of Caiyun Qingniao. Even a slight overflow will make the hair of the Gale Dog stand up and its eyes shine brightly.

"The Colorful Cloud Bluebird evolved successfully?" Xia Muqing was surprised and delighted. "No, now it can't be called the Colorful Cloud Bluebird anymore. Shouldn't it be called the Colorful Cloud Fairy?"

Cheng Zizhuo raised his eyebrows slightly: "You discovered this already?"

The corners of his lips curled upwards, his eyes brimming with an unconcealable smile. "Well, it evolved successfully, and just came out of confinement this morning. It just so happened I brought it here for you to take a look... Its successful evolution is inseparable from you."

Xia Muqing stroked Fairy Caiyun's soft feathers, her eyes sparkling. "How impressive! You've absorbed the energy of the Purple Gold Tears in just one month. Wait, isn't that right? You're a Divine Beast Master now?"

Cheng Zizhuo: "Hmm...I guess so?"

Xia Muqing glared at him. "Alright, Mr. Great Xia's youngest beast master, who was it that said he was the last in the class of Yandu University?"

"You're a big liar. You made me look bad in front of the teacher."

Cheng Zizhuo touched his nose hesitantly: "This is not, in an emergency, we must make decisions."

"It's nothing special. I think it won't be long before you break this record."

"I heard that the prototype of the divine skill your mysterious beast used today was very powerful, and it was different from the 'Magpie Bridge Fairy' that my little Caiyun was playing with."

"That's truly amazing! No one has ever been able to cultivate a quasi-divine beast in just six months of contract. I haven't admired many people, but you are one of them. I'm convinced by you."

"By the way, let me also witness the Fengluo Beast's magical skills?"

Cheng Zizhuo moved closer, his breath creating a slight airflow, and his warm breath melted in the rosy glow. Xia Muqing could almost feel the breeze blowing across her cheeks and ears.

She tilted her head, raised her hand to smooth her wind-twisted hair, and brushed her slightly hot earlobes with her fingertips. "Xiaofeng, has your profound strength recovered?"

Swift Dog: "Woo!"

It has been restored and is ready to show!

A white light flashed, and the Gale Dog evolved again into the mighty Wind Luo Beast, its hair fluttering in the wind, and it displayed the prototype of that magical skill in front of Cheng Zizhuo.

There were too many disruptive factors in the competition during the day, and now in the quiet breeze, Xia Muqing was finally able to calm down and take a closer look at the prototype of her own mysterious beast's magical skills.

This look really made her discover quite a few problems.

This move of the Gale Dog may seem very impressive at first glance, but in fact, it is influenced by other skills everywhere.

He transformed into a giant phantom, imitating the koi fish's leap over the dragon gate; the energy of wind, cloud, and rain merged, using a move that coordinated with the koi fish; and the clouds and mist floating all over his body, and the huge green cyclone in his mouth, were the wind rolls and cloud waterfalls that the Swift Dog was best at...

Swift Dog blended all of this together to form the so-called prototype of a divine skill. But a prototype is still a prototype, and many parts are still very rigid, the energy flow is inconsistent, and it feels a bit rote.

Cheng Zizhuo quickly noticed these problems.

He patted Fairy Caiyun's neck, signaling it to find a place to land, then turned back to look at Xia Muqing: "Let Fairy Caiyun teach your Fengluo Beast."

"If I don't learn anything else, it's just about how to use the power of divine skills and how to integrate my own advantages into one. Perhaps these can help Fengluo Beast master this energy faster."

…

The evening breeze was blowing gently, and Cheng Zizhuo let the colorful cloud fairy land in a corner of the city.

He looked at the night lights of Jiangcheng, and his voice floated in the wind: "Jiangcheng has a nice night view, let's go for a walk together?"

Xia Muqing readily agreed. She didn't want to go back to the hotel at all at the moment. Moreover, it would be of great benefit to her to let the Gale Dog learn more from Fairy Caiyun, who had already mastered the magical skills.

So, Xia Muqing handed the Gale Dog to Fairy Caiyun, and she and Cheng Zizhuo walked along the road, chatting casually all the way.

The koi fish happily followed the little hurricane dog to attend the class. When leaving, it raised its head proudly, indicating that it would definitely not lag far behind the hurricane dog.

Isn’t it just the prototype of a magical skill? It can be used too!

The fish and the dog walked away proudly, and then only Xia Muqing and Cheng Zizhuo were left at the edge of the empty road.

The street lamps cast bright yellow light and shadows, and the dark shadows on the ground are connected into one. The dim light is like a drawn curtain, deep and distant.

After chatting for a while, Xia Muqing found that Cheng Zizhuo had a wide range of knowledge. He could talk about astronomy, geography, history and humanities. He was also very knowledgeable about the cutting-edge research on mysterious beasts. He was like a walking encyclopedia.

Moreover, he has his own ideas on how to tame beasts, and many of his ideas coincide with hers.

The two chatted more and more happily. During this time, Cheng Zizhuo's phone rang several times, but he turned it off every time.

“Call sales,” he said. “Cellphone scams are rampant these days.”

"Ignore her—when you just mentioned the application of human profound power, did you mean how humans could possess combat power similar to that of profound beasts?"

Xia Muqing nodded: "Yes."

This thought has been lingering in her mind for a long time. Obviously, humans also have mental power, and the beast-taming space also has fluctuations of mysterious power. Why can't they use this to practice and enhance their self-protection ability?

These problems that were not involved in the game became difficult problems in Xia Muqing's mind when they appeared in the real world.

Cheng Zizhuo pondered for a moment: "Actually, this has always been a topic of human research, but the human body is too fragile, and previous experiments resulted in high casualties, so they were urgently stopped."

"In recent years, there have been signs of a revival... If you really want to know, I'll recommend a mentor to you when you come to Yandu University."

Xia Muqing was slightly stunned and remembered Teacher Chi Zi whom she met during the day.

She explained the situation to Cheng Zizhuo and asked curiously, "I thought Xiaofeng's unevolved form was quite deceptive, but I didn't expect her to see through it completely. How do you think she did it?"

Cheng Zizhuo's reaction was rather strange: "Chi, Chi Zi?"

"Have you seen her?"

Xia Muqing: "Do you know her?"

"...I guess so," Cheng Zizhuo said with a subtle expression. "She's been doing research on mental power and energy fluctuations. The team has a major project that's almost finished. It's possible that Xiaofeng's profound power has exposed its strength. By the way, did she try to get you to Yan University? Did she negotiate terms with you?"

Xia Muqing hesitated: "I have invited you, but the conditions have not been discussed yet."

Cheng Zizhuo coughed lightly a few times and said, "We have to talk."

"I'm telling you, not only do you need star coins, you also need to ask her for credits, resources, and admission passes..."

What followed was a half-hour long science popularization session. Cheng Zizhuo revealed to Xia Muqing the most precious resources in the university that could not be bought with money, and also analyzed the possible bottom lines of Chi Zi, Ning Xi and others clearly.

Xia Muqing was shocked when she heard this: "Isn't this too much?"

Wouldn't that make her seem too greedy?

Cheng Zizhuo raised his eyebrows slightly: "This is nothing to the universities. If they can recruit you, they will make a profit anyway."

"If you're embarrassed to speak up, leave it to me. I'll negotiate for you and I'll definitely not let you suffer any loss."

The lights were dim, the street was long and distant, and the boy's casual and clear voice sounded in her ears. Xia Muqing's ears trembled slightly, and a strange tingling feeling gradually surged in her heart.

She whispered, "Why are you helping me so much?"

Cheng Zizhuo was also stunned for a moment.

His heartbeat was also a little faster. The hazy figure of the girl in front of him made his throat itch. His mind was rarely blank. He subconsciously recalled the words he had said to his roommate in the dormitory: "We are good brothers, a friendship that has been passed down for life. If I don't help you, who will I help?"

Xia Muqing: "Good brother?"

Cheng Zizhuo, however, felt inexplicably flustered, his Adam's apple twitching a few times as he gritted his teeth and said, "Hmm, ah?"

Xia Muqing: "...Okay."

At that moment, Fairy Caiyun came up with the Swift Dog. The Swift Dog stepped on the "Treading Moon" and jumped directly into Xia Muqing's arms, howling and howling, conveying its excitement to the beastmaster.

Fairy Caiyun is indeed reliable. After just a few moments of teaching, it feels that the rudiments of its magical skills have improved a lot.

The little koi also held its head high, its tail sweeping happily back and forth, and its scales glowing faintly with golden light.

Although it has not yet learned the rudiments of the magical skills, it feels that it has gained a lot after attending a class, and all kinds of thoughts are surging in its mind.

Xia Muqing picked up the two mysterious beasts and rubbed the furry little head of the little hurricane dog, her mind a little distracted.

Finally, standing at the door of the hotel, she asked, "Where are you staying tonight?"

Cheng Zizhuo also looked a little distressed: "I live on East Street, and this one is fully booked by the competition team."

Xia Muqing nodded. "Then go to bed early. I expect the news of you becoming a divine beast master will be publicized tonight, and a large group of reporters will rush to you tomorrow morning."

Cheng Zizhuo's expression was startled.

That makes so much sense!

"Then I'm leaving. You should have a good rest. Good luck in tomorrow's competition."

Xia Muqing said "hmm" and waved goodbye to him with a smile.

Cheng Zizhuo felt something was strange; the girl in front of him seemed a little unhappy.

On the way back, he kept thinking about it.

"Did I say something wrong?"

Fairy Caiyun squatted on his shoulder, tilted her head when she heard the words, and a faint smile and helplessness flashed in her glittering pupils.

After walking for a while with a frown on his face, Cheng Zizhuo passed by the long street he had recommended to Xia Muqing last time. It was already late, but there were still many people on the long street, all of them were young couples.

Someone was setting up a stall on the street: "Look, it's a closing-down sale! Newly hatched caterpillars, the perfect ornamental mystical beasts, paired with a Butterfly Transformation Crystal, only 988 each!"

"The most beautiful Amethyst Butterfly, Pink Heart Butterfly, Yellow Stamen Butterfly... Hey, boy, buy one for a friend! This is the most popular gift in the live broadcast room this year and the most suitable gift for girls!"

Cheng Zizhuo's ears twitched slightly.

He looked at the curled up caterpillars on the stall, hesitated for a moment, and took out his cell phone.

——If I give her a gift, Xia Muqing will be happy, right?
