Liu Yao's voice was filled with joy:

"We found that when the energy value of the Fire Fang Dog exceeds the limit of a primary pet, and the intimacy with the beastmaster reaches an abnormally high level, and more importantly, the Fire Fang Dog suppresses its own evolution during its initial evolution, it will emit energy fluctuations that are different from when it evolves into a Burning Fire Dog."

It turns out that Yabao's suppression of his own evolution at that time became a key link in evolving into the Flame Listening Dog... But this seems to be similar to what I guessed at the time, except for the condition of suppressing evolution... If I were still on Blue Star, the research would probably progress faster... Qiao Sang couldn't help but affirm himself in his heart.

Liu Yao continued, "However, the Fire Fang Dog only detected energy fluctuations that were different from when it evolved into the Fire Burning Dog, and did not successfully evolve into the Flame Hearing Dog, so we know that there must be something wrong with it."

"Later, we ruled it out and found that it had nothing to do with the energy value exceeding the limit of 10,000."

"As for the intimacy with the Beastmaster, it doesn't seem to have a big impact."

"The fundamental impact is still on suppressing evolution."

Qiao Sang: “…”

Oh, it seems that the research progress should be the same with or without me... Qiao Sang was silent for a moment and asked:

"So, it hasn't been thoroughly researched yet?"

"Listen to me." Liu Yao said with a smile:

"We conducted multiple studies and selected ten groups of Fire Fang Dogs without Beast Tamers and evolved suppression during their first evolution. As a result, the energy fluctuations did not change at all, and without exception, they all evolved into Burning Fire Dogs."

"Later, we selected ten groups of Fire Fang Dogs with beastmasters and suppressed them during their initial evolution. We found that thirteen of them had energy fluctuations that were different from when they evolved into Burning Fire Dogs."

"Of course, in the end, none of them evolved successfully into Flame Hearing Dogs."

"What's strange is that the thirteen fire-fang dogs that showed energy fluctuations did not all have a harmonious relationship with their own beastmasters. One of them even had a very low intimacy, but its energy still fluctuated."

"So, we speculate that the evolution of the Flame Listening Dog has nothing to do with intimacy, but it is definitely related to the Beast Tamer."

It has nothing to do with intimacy, but it is related to the Beast Tamer... It's so complicated... Are there such conditions for evolution... Qiao Sang suddenly doubted his own cognition.

"Later, we experimented with dozens of groups of fire-fang dogs with beastmasters, and finally found the key point." Liu Yao said:

"Fire Fang Dogs with energy fluctuations all have extraordinary feelings for their beastmasters, either extreme disgust or extreme trust. Such feelings seem to suppress the energy in their bodies to an extremely high energy concentration when suppressing evolution."

"And once it is suppressed to this extent, we will detect evolutionary fluctuations that are different from those of the Fire Dog."

Qiao Sang suddenly realized:

"That is to say, the Fire Fang's feelings for the Beastmaster played a key role in suppressing its evolution!"

"That's right." Liu Yao laughed and thought Qiao Sang's summary was very good.

He immediately thought of something, and his tone became low:

"But there's a problem now."

"What is it?" Qiao Sang asked in cooperation.

"These Fire Fang Dogs have not evolved into Flame Hearing Dogs either." Liu Yao said in a deep voice: "I am sure that the evolution of Flame Hearing Dogs is absolutely related to Suppressed Evolution, but it seems that there is a missing condition that triggers their evolution into Flame Hearing Dogs."

"I called you this time mainly to ask you what was different about your Fire Fang Dog at that time, or in other words, did you feel that it was different from other Fire Fang Dogs in some way?"

Qiao Sang subconsciously looked at Ya Bao who was practicing meditation by casting ten clones.

Feeling the gaze of his own beastmaster, Yabao opened his eyes and looked over.

In order to practice acting separately from its original body and its clone, it had been specially trained to multitask, so it could naturally hear both its own beastmaster and the voice on the other end of the line.

"Ya Ya!"

Yabao gave an excited bark, indicating that it knew something was different.

After saying that, it raised its head proudly and struck a handsome pose.

Seeing this, Qiao Sang's mouth twitched, and she quickly came back to her senses.

If I were to say something different, it seems that there really is one... Qiao Sang pondered for a few seconds and said:

"When Yabao first evolved, he was only three months old. Does this count?"

It is considered very talented for a Fire Fang Dog to evolve after about a year of cultivation. It was only more than three months old when Yabao evolved, which is definitely something that other Fire Fang Dogs cannot do under normal circumstances.

There was a sudden silence on the other end of the phone, and I could vaguely feel the vice-president's breathing quicken.

Then the phone was hung up.

Just when Qiao Sang was confused, his phone vibrated again.

The caller ID showed it was the vice-principal.

Qiao Sang answered quickly.

6◇9◇Book◇Bar

Before she could ask if the signal was bad just now, Liu Yao said excitedly at a very fast speed:

"You're right! We've ruled out a lot of possibilities, but we've never thought about the age issue. The Fire Fang dogs that joined the research and met the conditions and were about to evolve were all over one year old. If your guess is true, you're the great contributor to this research!"

After saying that, he hung up the phone without waiting for a response, as if he couldn't wait to do something important.

Qiao Sang: “…”

It’s been a while since I’ve seen the vice-president so excited… Qiao Sang sighed as he browsed the points redemption column again.

…

Blue star.

Yuhua area.

Hangzhou, Zhejiang Province.

Inside the research institute, Liu Yao walked through the corridor with anxious steps and pushed open a heavy white soundproof door.

"We didn't expect this at all!" Liu Yao shouted excitedly to the people inside.

Everyone inside stopped what they were doing and looked at him, including a few fire-toothed dogs.

Liu Yao looked at everyone with burning eyes: "I just called Qiao Sang and asked her about this. She provided a direction that we had never thought of before."

Everyone's eyes lit up and they couldn't wait to ask, "What is it?"

"What on earth is it?"

"Age!" Liu Yao took a deep breath and said, "Her Fire Fang Dog was only three months old when it evolved."

The research room suddenly fell silent.

Liu Yao looked at the expressions of the crowd and seemed to understand something. He added, "I can guarantee this age. I saw Qiao Sang's Fire Fang Dog before it evolved into a Flame Hearing Dog. It was indeed more than three months old."

Everyone looked at each other.

After a few seconds of silence, one of the men who seemed to be the oldest said in a deep voice, "Suppressing evolution is easy. It's not hard to find a Fire Fang Dog that has special feelings for its own beastmaster. But if we add the condition that it will soon enter evolution in more than three months, I'm afraid it won't be possible to find such a Fire Fang Dog."

Liu Yao was silent.
