Ten minutes later.

Song Yu made a contract with two Holy Light Clear Spirit Birds and, under the guidance of a training camp instructor, found the coordinates of the entrance and exit of the Nanhai State Secret Realm...

Looking at the entrance and exit of the small secret realm of the South China Sea Island, there are people coming and going, and various beastmaster search and rescue teams.

Beastmasters and rescue workers dressed in tight sportswear came and went. Some of them even set up tents at the entrance to the secret realm and cooked lunch. Some of them kept reading newspapers in their hands, while others stroked their contracted beasts and chatted with their companions, talking about which direction they should go to rescue in the next period of time.

Among these people, some are rescue workers sent by their superiors, and some are search and rescue teams spontaneously organized by the public... Of course, in addition to these, there are also a small number of beastmasters with higher levels and strength who want to take this opportunity to step into the fusion secret realm and look for treasures from heaven and earth.

As the saying goes, there are always heroes in troubled times, and there are always treasures when the wind and clouds are surging.

Millennia of human knowledge of secret realm exploration tell them that whenever a major event occurs within a secret realm, unless there's a beast tide, natural resources, spiritual fruits, and minerals are bound to appear in abundance. This is especially true following the recent global fusion of secret realms. The contracted beasts of countless beastmasters have sensed the abundant natural energy within the merged secret realms. Under these circumstances, the potential for natural resources and treasures to appear is even greater. How could this not excite them?

In this regard, the countries did not stop nor prohibit these beastmaster teams from entering the fusion secret realm.

However, before these beastmaster teams entered the secret realm, each country would tell them that life and death were determined by fate, and wealth and honor were determined by heaven. If anything happened, they should not come to them...

Looking at the bustling entrance and exit of the secret realm of Nanhaizhou.

Song Yu seemed like a traveler who had suddenly returned to the city after staying in the wilderness and forest for a long time.

Her eyes were filled with tears at this moment!

God knows how unlucky her life has been in the secret realm of the red earth tundra these days!

Being nearly sucked into a mummy by a parasitic mushroom was one thing, and being severely injured by the aftermath of the battle between two 8th-level high-level beasts was one thing...

The most important thing is that every time you dig a hole to build a house, something will happen within 24 hours!

The cave that was painstakingly arranged turned into ruins in a matter of minutes!

Those caves were either blown up or destroyed. What was even worse was that she was chased by the people from the Yan and Jin families and had to flee in panic.

Live in other people's secret realms, hunt for treasures, earn points, and strive to survive in the secret realms.

In her secret life, she was beaten, hit, and hunted by others QAQ!

No matter how she thought about it, she felt that she seemed to be a little more miserable than others...

In the secret realm, she couldn't eat or drink well every day.

The area under the eyes, which had been taken care of for half a year and was as smooth as new without any acne marks or dark circles, was now completely blue and black.

The thick dark circles under her eyes made her look like a giant panda.

Even though Baiyue was there during the last few days in the secret realm, no strange beasts dared to attack them.

However, the Blue Star and the Beast Star merged, the earth's crust moved, the plates shifted, and everything turned upside down.

Every day in the secret realm, there are either mountain torrents and tsunamis, or frequent earthquakes. At the very least, trees fall and houses are destroyed. Every time, there is a huge noise, and it does not matter whether it is day or night.

In this situation, it is difficult to even lie down, let alone sleep well.

During these three days, she almost spent her time lying on the back of the Flying Lion Mastiff.

Now I see the bustling crowd and the obvious high-tech buildings outside the entrance to the secret realm.

All that was left in Song Yu's mind at this moment was—bed, bed, bed! Food, food, food! Games, games, games! TV series, TV series, TV series!

Is there anything more joyful than just lying in bed, staying home, eating delicious food, playing games, and watching TV series?! No way!!!

“Hmm!”

Song Yu's eyes lit up, he sniffed, and was about to say goodbye to the training camp instructor next to him.

Song Yu held his mentor's hands tightly, his tone sincere and grateful: "Teacher Jiang, thank you for sending us back... Thank you for taking care of my parents and grandpa during these days..."

"Bang!——"

Before Song Yu finished his words of thanks, the clouds in the sky suddenly made a burst of sound, as if some kind of energy barrier was suddenly broken through.

Boom boom boom~~~

Click, click, click, click~~

A powerful gust of wind swept in from the heavens and earth, breaking through the clouds above and rapidly spreading in all directions! The originally cloudless sky, dotted with orange sunset, suddenly became like a shattered backdrop, and an even more brilliant midday sun appeared in the sky.

It seemed as if the orange sunset before was just a fake backdrop!

The energy barrier at the entrance and exit of the secret realm shattered and dissipated bit by bit.

They seemed to be controlled by an invisible giant hand, evaporating and dissipating into the air at the fastest speed!

The blue sky under the sunset in the secret realm has been replaced by the warm midday sun.

The high-tech building complex that could only be seen through the entrance and exit of the secret realm suddenly appeared in the sight of Song Yu and others!

Sitting on a flying monster, looking down from high above.

The beastmasters can even see the tall buildings and thick city walls in the distance, which are the architectural landmarks of the center of Nanhai City!

"Merge, merge..."

"The Fusion Secret Realm and Blue Star have merged!"

As someone in the crowd shouted loudly, everyone looked at those... buildings and staff who could only appear on the outskirts of the secret realm!

At the same time, the soldiers who were armed with real guns and bullets and guarding the outer circle of the secret realm entrance and exit were also dumbfounded.

Also dumbfounded were the staff who were carrying the goods.

The training camp instructor who had just stood next to Song Yu widened his eyes vigilantly and subconsciously walked quickly towards the military entrance.

Song Yu's eyes widened, and she couldn't help but subconsciously recall what Bai Yue had said to her in the secret realm...

——The wilderness area is the product of the perfect fusion of Blue Star and Beast Star.

"It seems that in the future, the secret realm may slowly disappear in the long river of history..." Song Yu murmured subconsciously.

Bai Yuhan, who had been standing beside Song Yu, nodded. His warm breath followed the breeze and gently landed on the tip of Song Yu's fair ear. The boy's breath was warm and steady. "You're right. According to him, it won't be long before the two worlds merge... After the fusion, the secret realm will naturally become a wilderness area."

"So do you think human cities will remain the same in the future?"

Song Yu looked up at Bai Yuhan and lowered his voice, "Do you think that cities in the future will also become like wilderness areas?"

"have no idea."

Bai Yuhan shook his head honestly, then looked down at the two overlapping shadows stretched by the sunlight. "But now that the two worlds have merged, and the other party has become the ruler of this world, I believe they will also work hard to promote the peaceful development of the two worlds..."

At worst, with their current strength, it would not be a problem for them to live safely in the wilderness.

As a child who spent a lot of time with his parents in wilderness areas and secret places.

Bai Yuhan didn't have much feeling about living in the wilderness area and the secret realm.

It is certainly convenient to have various home appliances and running water in the city, but it doesn’t matter if they are not there. As long as the family can live together in peace and security, he will be satisfied enough.

Even though the Eye of Rules had been taken away by Baiyue and pulled out of his bloodline.

But Bai Yuhan's habit of always thinking the worst of everything could not be completely changed.

From the time he saw the secret realm and the blue star merge until now, in just one minute, Bai Yuhan had already imagined the scene of various strange beasts appearing in the city and destroying the entire city.

"Let's go! Let's go back first!"

Old Master Song was the first to calm down. He took two steps forward, patted Song Yu on the shoulder, and instructed Song Yu to open the space gate to Jianghuai City.

They now have to hurry back to Jianghuai City to check on the family situation. There are not only the family property and hard work built by two generations of their Song family, but also family members such as Old Lady Song and Song Qi.

"Dad... doesn't Xiao Yu have to go to the Exotic Beast Research Institute first?" Song Wenhai scratched his chubby cheek, feeling a little embarrassed.

But he did not forget the advice that Teacher Qin Hong had given them.

"It's okay, I'll take you back first... and then report to the Exotic Beast Research Institute." Logically speaking, the training camp instructor should have followed the rules and sent Song Yu to the Nanhai City Exotic Beast Research Institute first, and then sent Zhou Wenhai and his wife and others home.

But now the Fusion Secret Realm has suddenly turned into a wilderness area, and for a moment he actually forgot to send Song Yu to the Exotic Beast Research Institute.

"Uncle and aunt, why don't I take the old man back to Jianghuai City first? And you two can take Song Yu to the Exotic Beast Research Institute."

Seeing that Song Wenhai and his wife, along with Old Man Song, were in a dilemma, Bai Yuhan took two steps forward and said calmly, "This time I'm in the secret realm, and my contracted beast has evolved to level nine. Even if we encounter danger, I can lead my men to escape immediately."

"What? Ninth level?" Song Wenhai and his wife exclaimed in surprise subconsciously, their eyes wide open.

The couple subconsciously looked at Song Yu and then at Bai Yuhan.

Their daughter is a monster, so it's good enough that she can cultivate the contracted beast to the ninth level in a short period of time.

They didn't expect that Bai Yuhan, a young man they knew in the past, could actually cultivate his contracted beast to the ninth level in just half a year.

Compared to their daughter, the other party lost both parents when she was young, and even had to rely on odd jobs to earn her tuition, not to mention any decent treasures.

But even so, the other party was able to cultivate his contracted beast to the ninth level in just half a year?

You have to know that back in the Snowfield Secret Realm, Song Wenhai and Zhou Fangmei had both seen the Void Dragon cub that Bai Yuhan had contracted. And now, with the little black dragon resting on Bai Yuhan's shoulder... Song Wenhai and his wife subconsciously swallowed their saliva. Dragon beasts are stronger than other beasts of the same level, but at the same time, they are more difficult to evolve.

Thinking of his own daughter, she has been staying with Bai Yuhan since the last time they were in the secret realm of the snowfield.

This time, both parties appeared at the same time in the secret realm of the red soil tundra.

"Could it be that the rapid evolution of this contracted beast... can we really draw some empirical conclusions?" Song Wenhai and his wife couldn't help but think to themselves, with complicated expressions.

Like this couple, they have been breeding contracted beasts for decades, but they can't even beat two high school students.

Even if one of them was their own biological daughter, after thinking carefully, Song Wenhai and Zhou Fangmei still felt that they had lived for decades and had been wasting their time.

"In that case, let's do it this way." Old Master Song took a look at the little black dragon curled up on Bai Yuhan's shoulder and immediately made up his mind.

"If anything happens at the Exotic Beast Research Institute, you can send me a message..." Bai Yuhan shook the special communication bracelet on his wrist at Song Yu and whispered in a low voice, "I'll come to you as soon as possible."

The boy spoke in a light and airy voice, as if without any weight.

But to Zhou Fangmei and Song Wenhai, it was like a bolt from the blue.

Song Wenhai: “???”

Zhou Fangmei: “????”

No, why do they feel that Bai Yuhan is particularly close to their daughter this time?

It was totally different from the politeness and courtesy they showed when the two of them just came out of the secret realm of the snowfield.

The most important thing is what did they both hear?

Send a message? A special communication bracelet?

So...

Why can this boy and his daughter still keep in touch with each other with their special communication bracelets after everyone else’s special communication bracelets have become ineffective?

Countless questions suddenly popped up in the minds of Song Wenhai and his wife. They watched with complicated expressions as Bai Yuhan summoned another chubby little silver dragon... After Bai Yuhan and Old Man Song disappeared behind the space gate, the couple hurried to answer their questions.

Zhou Fangmei put her hands on her hips and said, "Tell me the truth, what is your relationship with Bai Yuhan now?"

Song Wenhai frowned and said, "Also, tell me why you can make contracts with those high-level wild beasts? I don't remember any research on contracts with high-level beasts in the original contract."

Before signing the contract with the Exotic Beast Research Institute, the institute spoke with Zhou Fangmei and her husband over the phone.

After all, even though Song Yu is already eighteen years old and an adult, the National Genius Training Camp has contact with all the students' parents. Especially for things like the Exotic Beast Research Institute, they will follow the old rules of the school and the training camp and contact the students' parents as soon as possible.

Song Yu glanced at the people around him, raised his hand and summoned a circle, and after the three of them stepped into the space gate...

Song Yu then scratched his head and gave Zhou Fangmei an awkward smile: "Dad, Mom... Bai Yuhan and I are together. We confirmed our relationship a few days ago..."

"It was you who said you wanted to cancel the engagement, and now it's you who's confirmed to be dating. If you weren't my daughter, I would have beaten you with a broom! How can you play tricks on me like this?" Zhou Fangmei rolled her eyes rudely.

She said that the two children gave her the feeling that something was wrong.

Isn’t it the faint sour smell of young love?

So she and her father worked so hard and worried every day, but this child was actually having a love affair in a secret place?

For a moment, Zhou Fangmei felt both depressed and relieved that the child had other people to accompany him in such a helpless environment in the secret realm.

"Hehehe..." Song Yu touched his nose and did not refute.

Although the cancellation of the engagement was the original body's fault, if it were her, she might also cancel the engagement with Bai Yuhan because she was worried about trouble and being hunted down by the male protagonist's enemies.

"You and that guy are both adults now. Your mother and I don't have much to say." Song Wenhai stroked his chubby chin, looked at Song Yu seriously and said, "It's just that you were too embarrassed when you broke off the engagement with him. If you two are together in the future, you have to make it up to him."

"But then again, tell me, why are you able to sign contracts with those high-level wild beasts?" Song Wenhai was puzzled by this. He had been holding it in and didn't dare to ask when he was in the outside world before, but now in this deserted space gate tunnel, Song Wenhai still wanted to find out clearly.

Hehehehe!

Song Wenhai rubbed his hands. In fact, he was a little envious of those high-level exotic beasts.

Song Yu sighed helplessly: "Dad...those high-level wild beasts didn't sign a contract with me, they signed a contract with Qiuqiu."

The desire for contracted beasts is ingrained in everyone in this world. Even Zhou Fangmei and Song Wenhai, a couple, would involuntarily fix their gaze on high-level exotic beasts like the Holy Light Pure Spirit Bird and the Ball Ball. However, whether it was the Flying Lion Mastiff or the Holy Light Pure Spirit Bird, she was definitely not the object of their contract.

Song Yu thought for a moment, carefully choosing his words, before slowly explaining to Song Wenhai and his wife, "Mom and Dad, I've discovered in the secret realm these days that adult, high-level exotic beasts are indeed as described in the exotic beast encyclopedia: they're difficult for human beastmasters to tame. They won't sign contracts with us... but as exotic beasts, they naturally retain the subservience of lower-level exotic beasts to higher-level ones."

"Hmm?" Song Wenhai and his wife blinked, looked at Song Yu seriously and continued to listen.

"So... the reason those high-level beasts made contracts with me wasn't me, but Qiuqiu..."

Song Yu thought about how he had interacted with two eighth-level exotic beasts, the Flying Lion Mastiff and the Ice Mandarin Bird, in the dense forest a few days ago. He shook his head and said calmly, "Before, when I was with the Flying Lion Mastiff in the secret realm, they only obeyed Qiuqiu's words. They basically wouldn't listen to me unless Qiuqiu ordered them to... So rather than saying that the Holy Light Pure Spirit Bird and the Flying Lion Mastiff are my contracted beasts, it's better to say that they are Qiuqiu's contracted beasts."

Song Yu hugged the nine-tailed snow cat and touched it. The soft fur made Song Yu subconsciously rub it a few more times.

After hearing Song Yu's words, Qiuqiu tilted his head back and meowed a few times as if he wanted to stand up for Song Yu.

The snow-white kitten proudly raised its chin and shook its nine elegant little tails with pride.

"Meow meow meow~" That's right, that's right~ The Flying Lion Mastiff is my contracted beast~ I'm going to be a professional beast tamer's cat in the future, meow~

"well……"

Seeing this, Song Wenhai sighed, "I thought there was some other way."

If these contracted adult beasts only obeyed Qiuqiu, it would be nearly impossible for the beastmaster to command them into battle, and they might even fail in the wild. Therefore, even with young beasts, in most cases, no one would force a contract. Instead, they would use all sorts of natural treasures to tempt the little ones, ultimately concluding the contract with their willingness.

"I'm afraid that ordinary beasts can't be as proficient in command as humans..." Zhou Fangmei frowned and thought seriously.

"This means that even if someone uses this method to contract other high-level adult beasts, I think only those beastmasters who have high-level spiritual contracted beasts can truly unleash the combat power of these adult beasts." Zhou Fangmei thought about it and finally came to a conclusion.

Whether in the wilderness or in the secret realm, the battlefield situation often changes rapidly. Once the contracted beast fails to obey the beastmaster's command in the first time, it is very likely that the beastmaster has fallen under the claws of other strange beasts.

Not to mention the Beastmaster Battle Competitions held every year.

These battle competitions often have a fixed number of contracted beasts that can appear on stage.

Normally, there will be a fixed quota of 5 contracted beasts in the team...

With such a small number of contracted beasts, the tacit understanding between the beastmasters and their contracted beasts often allows many to turn the tide or gain the upper hand. Conversely, the speed of the turn is probably faster than turning the pages of a book.

so.

Is it good to be able to contract a high-level exotic beast this way? That would definitely be good...

But no one can command high-level contracted beasts, and even with a contract, they cannot unleash their full strength.

It might be a seventh-level monster, but in the end it can only be driven as a fifth-level monster.

As a result, this unconventional contract method is not as good as they originally thought.

Zhou Fangmei and Song Wenhai pondered for a moment, then happily patted Song Yu on the shoulder and said, "No matter what, it's great that you discovered this pattern. Whether you want to tell the staff at the Exotic Beast Research Institute about this later is up to you."

"However, your father and I are truly astonished that you were able to become a ninth-rank beastmaster in just over six months." Zhou Fangmei caressed Song Yu's furry little head and held it in her arms. "...Also, you've made Mom and Dad very proud!"

"Your father and I have thought it through at home these days... You can do whatever you want in the future. Mom and Dad will no longer urge you to go to Beastmaster University."

Zhou Fangmei smiled and said, "I think it's fine even if you like to stay at home and play games every day. As for those six top international universities your teacher mentioned, I don't think it's a big deal if you don't go..."

"After all these years in this world, all Mom and Dad want is to see you safe, happy, and healthy." Zhou Fangmei touched Song Yu's head and sighed for a moment. Finally, she poured out all the words that she had been suppressing in her heart for these days.

This is what she said to Song Qi at home, and now she wants to say these words to Song Yu as well.

"Hmm?" Song Yu blinked and subconsciously looked up at Zhou Fangmei and Song Wenhai.

She had not forgotten the shining eyes of Song Wenhai and his wife, as well as their excited expressions and attitudes when Zhou Tao mentioned the six famous international universities when they first came out of the secret realm of the snowfield.

Now that Song Yu heard these words out of the blue, she was subconsciously stunned.

But looking at the gentle smiles of Song Wenhai and his wife, Song Yu felt warm in his heart instantly.

It goes without saying that the reason why Song Wenhai and his wife changed their attitudes so quickly was definitely because of what happened in the secret realm of the red soil tundra, which gave the couple a serious fright.

After a moment of silence, Song Yu suddenly looked up.

The girl's fair cheeks were as smooth as jade, with a light blush on them. Her semi-long black hair was tied into a ponytail and lightly scattered on both sides of her fair neck. Coupled with her pair of wet eyes that looked like brilliant stars, Song Yu was like the most exquisite and well-behaved doll in the window.

"Yeah!" The girl nodded and smiled, answering decisively.

For an actress, playing the role of the well-behaved little daughter who is the most beloved by her parents in a family drama is easy for her.

In fact, Song Yu was also really happy...

Because she really didn't want to go to Beastmaster University, and she didn't want to train her fighting skills every day.

All kinds of little thoughts are stirring in my heart.

Song Yu slowly stretched out his beautiful white little paws, blinked his eyes and looked at Zhou Fangmei and said, "Mom, can I not go to Beastmaster University?"

Zhou Fangmei: “…”

No, although I promised you that you don’t have to go to the top six international universities, there’s no need for you to be so anxious, right?

Song Yu looked at Song Wenhai eagerly: "Dad, can I just take a liberal arts exam and become an outdoor food exploration host in the future?"

Song Wenhai: “…”

No, your mother and I promised you that as long as you are healthy and happy, isn't being an outdoor food exploration host too trendy? This is a profession that only ordinary people can take on. Isn't it a bit too unprofessional for you, a ninth-level beastmaster?

"Dad, Mom, I love eating delicious food the most. If I can be a host of an outdoor food exploration program in the future, I will definitely be able to live a very happy life every day." Song Yu said confidently, emphasizing the word "happy".

“…” Zhou Fangmei and her husband wiped their faces fiercely.

"Okay, if this is your own choice and your dream... then we support you."

Zhou Fangmei shook her head helplessly. "However, I originally thought that since you now possess four ninth-level exotic beasts, the major beastmaster universities at home and abroad would definitely be willing to recruit you. That way, you wouldn't need to take the national unified college entrance examination..."

Zhou Fangmei sighed, "But since you've decided not to go to Beastmaster University, you still have to focus on your academic performance. Otherwise, you've missed so many classes at the National Talent Training Camp, and it won't be easy to get into a good university."

Not many high school students nationwide are able to participate in the talent training camp each year, and those who do are almost guaranteed admission to Beastmaster University. Therefore, Zhou Fangmei had never mentioned the issue of academic performance before... Now that her daughter wasn't interested in attending Beastmaster University and instead wanted to study liberal arts, Zhou Fangmei felt like a parent had to give her some advice.

“????”

Song Yu was stunned.

Song Yu was confused.

Song Yu suddenly felt as if there was a ball of blood stuck in his throat!

Yes, how could she have forgotten about the college entrance examination? If she chose to study liberal arts and gave up on Beastmaster University, she would have to take the national college entrance examination with other high school seniors in June.

How could she, a high school senior who changed her major halfway through her studies, be a match for the other real high school seniors?

Song Yu silently rubbed the fluffy cat's head.

She wiped her face fiercely, forced a smile, and said awkwardly, "...Mom, I was just kidding. I'm definitely going to Beastmaster University. I think Beastmaster University is pretty good."

Are you kidding? As a nobody, what else can she say when a school specially recruits her without passing the college entrance examination?

Of course, seize the opportunity and hurry up!

Zhou Fangmei: ???

Song Wenhai: ???

No, how could their girl change her face so easily?

"Forget it, just go to whichever school you want..." Song Wenhai gave Song Yu a meaningful look, then patted his daughter's shoulder and encouraged her, "As long as you're willing to go, your mother and I will support you."

As the saying goes, children and grandchildren have their own blessings. As long as his two children are healthy and happy, he doesn't want to care about these things anymore.

After Zhou Fangmei and his wife had spoken with Song Yu, the journey to the Nanhai City Exotic Beast Research Institute became incredibly easy, using the space gate to shuttle back and forth. Song Yu, along with Song Wenhai and his wife, soon arrived at the Nanhai City Exotic Beast Research Institute...

When Song Yu took the initiative to go to the gate of the Exotic Beast Research Institute and entered to register.

Not long after, Song Yu and Song Wenhai were surrounded by a large group of exotic animal researchers!

Some of these exotic beast researchers came all the way from the secret realm of the red earth tundra, while others came from the exotic beast research institute in the capital.

One by one, they used space jumps to teleport directly to the gate of the Nanhai City Exotic Beast Research Institute.

If the space fluctuation shielding device had not been installed in the Exotic Beast Research Institute, Song Yu even suspected that these researchers would directly lock the space door in the room where she was sitting.

"Ms. Song, I'm so glad you came back safely!" As soon as Yu Li saw Song Yu, she rushed forward. If there were not other bigwigs from the research institute sitting nearby, Yu Li would have wanted to hug Song Yu.

God knows how worried Yu Li and Zhao Lan have been these days.

As researchers originally sent by the Capital's Exotic Beast Research Institute to follow Song Yu and record data at all times, their task is to protect Song Yu at all times, and transmit Song Yu's data to the Exotic Beast Research Institute every day, asking scientific research leaders in other institutes to review and analyze the reasons why Song Yu's contracted beast can evolve so quickly.

But these days, Song Yu had lost contact with them, and the special communication bracelet had problems again. They couldn't use the positioning function to find Song Yu, which made Yu Li and Zhao Lan very anxious!

"Ms. Song, it's great that you're back... I wonder if you could release your contracted beast for us to see?" A gray-haired exotic beast researcher next to her took two steps forward with a cane, looking at Song Yu with burning eyes.

Long before the Six Kingdoms Secret Realm Assessment Competition, he had wanted to personally examine Song Yu's several exotic beasts.

After these days of tossing and turning, the white-haired old man can no longer sit still.

"No problem... This time in the secret realm, all four of my contracted beasts evolved to level nine."

Since the research contract was signed early, Song Yu cooperated quite well and directly summoned the four little guys from the beast-taming space.

The four little balls and circles are either sitting or standing, and they are eye-catching as soon as they appear!

Especially this time when the four little guys appeared, they did not deliberately suppress the influence of the ninth-level monster on the environment.

As a result, all the researchers opened their eyes wide, their faces filled with shock.

——The air around the dodder vine was distorted due to the high temperature of the flames, and the specks of orange flames were as bright as fireflies, flying back and forth around the dodder vine.

——The virtual transparent image of the spicy cake strips spreads around the body like a special effects movie with every breath and blink of the circle.

——The Ghost Dragon and the Nine-tailed Snow Cat also have their own different environmental changes around them.

"This, this, this..." An old man's lips trembled with excitement and he was almost unable to speak.

Another researcher's eyes widened, his nostrils flared, and he opened his mouth to breathe deeply, looking like he was about to faint.

The other researchers around also showed various expressions of shock. Some talked at once, some talked in low voices, and more took out their notebooks and flipped through the relevant information about Song Yu.

As researchers, they had recorded various data related to Song Yu and the four little ones, Qiuqiu, as early as the beginning of this research. Among them were computer photos and data potential value scores when Song Yu had just signed the contract with Qiuqiu, various indicators of Youyou at the National Talent Training Camp, and even a lot of data on the two little ones, Tengteng and Quanquan.

However, it was when they used the records in their hands to compare the four little balls in front of them, all of which had evolved to the ninth level, that they felt the magic of the evolution of the strange beasts!

It turns out that the evolution speed of contracted beasts can be faster than they imagined!

It turns out that not only the Snow Spirit Cat can quickly evolve to the ninth level, but even other low-level bloodline contracted beasts can also quickly evolve to the ninth level!

The low-level bloodline Snow Spirit Cat, the low-level bloodline Dodder Vine, the low-level bloodline Void Rabbit, and even the ghost dragon was originally a ghost snake with a low-level bloodline!

The researchers were so excited that they almost lost their voices, but they had to suppress their excitement and asked Qi Songyu about the process of cultivating the snow cat and dodder vine.

"Miss Song, can you tell me about these days in the secret realm...how your contracted beast was able to break through and evolve to the ninth level in such a short period of time?"

"Miss Song, did you feed them any special food before they evolved?"

"Ms. Song, your contracted beasts have evolved repeatedly in such a short period of time. Have they fought against high-level beasts since their evolution? Are they experiencing any discomfort? Or are their combat capabilities on par with other ninth-level beasts, with no signs of weakening?"

"Miss Song, ..."

Even though the exotic beast researchers usually preferred to focus on their own projects and disliked talking loudly with others, they couldn't suppress their excitement and couldn't help but step forward and ask questions one after another.

Before Song Yu had the chance to answer the first question, he was bombarded with other questions from the researchers around him.

Finally, the oldest and most dignified expert from the research institute, a man with gray hair, coughed twice and shouted, "Enough! Don't ask so many questions at once. Everyone, come one by one..."

"You ask so many questions at once. How should Miss Song answer?" The white-haired old man took two steps forward with a cane. Two young researchers followed behind him, holding notebooks and pens to record the old man's every word.

The white-haired old man's eyes were blazing, and he smiled as he stepped closer. He looked at Song Yu and said, "Miss Song, can I ask you about the time periods during which your beasts evolved? What did they eat and do during these time periods? And how were their emotions?"

"Old sir... every time my contracted beasts have evolved in the secret realm recently, it's basically been trying to protect me... As for their food during this time, it's no different from usual." Song Yu cleared his throat and looked at the white-haired old man seriously, "So I think the reason why contracted beasts can evolve so quickly is because of the bond!"

"Bond?" The white-haired old man was slightly stunned.

The other researchers around were also stunned.

For hundreds of years, when their research institute's contracted beasts evolved, they paid attention to biological science, genetic bloodline, technological means and natural treasures, but no one ever paid attention to any bonds.

What is bond?

To explain it in professional terms, it means restraint and entanglement.

In fact, this is a kind of emotional involvement defined between people.

Since it is defined as the interaction between humans... then there is naturally no need for any strange beasts to participate.

While Beastmasters will do their best to meet their contracted beasts' needs when training them, they will also use both carrots and sticks to keep them obedient and follow their commands. This is the only way to ensure they unconditionally obey the Beastmaster's orders when battling exotic beasts in the wilderness and secret realms!

But……

Once the contracted beast and the beastmaster have a bond.

Just like friends and friends, parents and children.

So when the beastmaster commands the contracted beast, will the contracted beast really be obedient?

For a moment, the air was silent.

All the researchers around had frowns on their faces. The word "bond" was easy to understand, but using it to describe the relationship between a beastmaster and his contracted beast was difficult to comprehend.

The white-haired old man stroked his beard, leaned on his cane, and also frowned in deep thought.

Song Yu blinked her long eyelashes slightly at this. She looked at the other exotic beast researchers around her and said seriously, "Actually, this isn't a conclusion I came up with during these genius days... but rather the conclusion I came to after witnessing the evolution of Qiuqiu and the other four little guys during my time at the National Genius Training Camp."
