Academician Chen Li, who was sitting in the front row of the judging panel, sat up straight subconsciously and felt his heartbeat quicken.
As an authority in the field of evolution, he has a better understanding of what it means to break through the limitations of one's core innate skills.
Ever since the first secret realm appeared on this planet, humans have never stopped exploring the evolution of extraordinary creatures, and innate core skills have always been one of the decisive influencing factors.
If the core talent skills cannot evolve, the pet itself cannot leap to a higher level of life form and complete its evolution.
This is the answer obtained by countless previous explorers. The core skills of talents and the potential of the pets themselves complement each other and are the most critical keys to the path of evolution. No matter how many external factors are added, they can never break through this invisible shackles.
Apart from extremely special absorption skills like [Flame Absorption Reaction] and some rare beast-taming talents, no one has ever truly found a way to break through the evolution of the core skills of the talents.
But the young researcher standing on the podium at this moment gave a complete theory that can be replicated and reproduced.
If this is really an evolutionary theory that every beastmaster can use, even if it is only aimed at dark extraordinary creatures, it will be a major discovery that can affect the evolutionary research landscape of the entire beastmaster community.
"As we all know, there are many dark supernatural creatures born from different types of emotional resonance. Depending on the race, there are obvious emotional preferences. Among them, there are even races that can directly feed on emotional energy."
"By deepening the emotional bond between the beastmaster and the pet, a strong emotional resonance is generated. The huge amount of emotional energy in the contract will at some point break through the entropy threshold of the individual contract, allowing the pet to complete its evolution and in turn prompt changes in the core talent skills."
"This is the new evolutionary method we discovered. Professor Xie Qingwei named it [Contract Evolution]."
Feng Le displayed charts of various experimental results on the giant projection screen, as well as data such as the composition of [Contract Entropy] and the threshold differences between different pets.
He looked at the black-haired girl behind him, "Next, my junior sister, Mu Shuyue, a freshman from Jingzhou University's Combat Department, will demonstrate to you a practical example of [Contract Evolution]."
Mu Huiyue walked up to the podium, stood under the giant screen projection, and made an inviting gesture to the seat next to him.
The shadow under her feet suddenly extended several times in length, and then spread upwards.
Suddenly, black fog surged above the podium, and a tall and straight skeleton walked out of the black fog. The white skeleton was wrapped in thorny death fog. A faint blue flame was ignited in his right eye socket, like a rose burning in the dark moon.
The skeleton appeared intact at the place where Mu Chuyue made the invitation. An invisible circle of deterrence suddenly spread out with him as the center, dispersing some of the surging black fog.
The audience in the audience felt the subtle intimidation personally and their eyes widened in surprise.
"Is that the card tooth soldier that the little skeleton evolved into...?"
"I seemed to feel intimidated just now..."
"It can't be wrong. The aura of deterrence cannot be faked. This is a genuine monarch race brand tooth soldier!"
Even though the monarch race's card-tooth soldier was standing right in front of everyone, they still felt as if they were seeing a fairy tale.
How can those weak, powerless little skeletons that can only reconstruct their own bones evolve into adult skeletons of the monarch race with deterrence?
From the lower elite race to the monarch race, it even spans more than one major class.
The giant screen projection displayed Eren's racial information as perceived by the atlas.
His core talent skill is neither [Reconstruction] nor [Dead Body], but the dark B-level status skill [Shadow Stealth].
The talent core of the Skeleton series has always been [Reorganization]. After evolving into a Tooth Soldier, it will change between [Dead Body] and [Reorganization] depending on the individual. However, there is absolutely no Skeleton or Tooth Soldier's talent core that is related to [Shadow Stealth].
No matter how you analyze it, there is only one possibility left.
This card tooth soldier learned [Shadow Stealth] when he was a little skeleton. In the subsequent evolution, [Shadow Stealth] became his core innate skill and evolved into [Shadow Stealth].
"This monarch race card tooth soldier is the first example we have come across of someone who has broken through the limitations of his innate core skills and completed his evolution beyond his level."
"Mu Shuyue and Pai Yabing didn't even use the [Resonance Crystal]. They relied on the tacit understanding they had cultivated since they were little skeletons and their firm emotional resonance with each other to break through the entropy threshold of the contract." Feng Le introduced.
Undead and dark supernatural creatures can feed on emotional energy. The healthy and strong bones of Pai Ya Bing and the thick death fog that spread over the entire podium are all proof of how much emotional energy he has received from the Beastmaster.
Everyone was impressed that this was the first Pai Ya soldier to evolve into a monarch race, but the core behind it was actually his Beast Tamer.
Mu Huoyue may be the first human beastmaster willing to invest so much emotional energy and resources in the little skeleton.
The first round of demonstrations ended, and the card-tooth soldier sank into the shadows and returned to the shadow of the beastmaster.
In the research group of Hongzhou University, Yang Lei, the main player of the school team, watched this scene silently.
He knew this monarch race card tooth soldier. Among the members who enrolled in the school team this year was Fang Xuyang, the ace player from Hongzhou Shengshuitan Middle School.
Fang Xuyang was a star player during the high school league. He should have made a splash in the national qualifying competition and joined the Hongzhou University team with the honor of first place in that session, but he was eliminated early.
The one who eliminated Fang Xuyang and his Thunder Lion was the girl in front of him with the monarch race card tooth soldier.
Yang Lei was silently considering the opponent's strength in his heart. For a high school student, this tooth soldier was indeed a strong enemy.
However, Fang Xuyang's Thunder Lion has completed the second-level evolution. In the upcoming [College Battle Preliminary Tournament] where freshmen will compete, he will definitely be able to avenge his previous defeat and defeat Mu Chuyue and her Pai Ya soldiers.
Victory will still belong to Hongzhou University.
At this time, Feng Le on the podium changed the next set of experimental videos on the giant screen projection.
This is the record of the Night Bell evolving into the Night Soul Guide.
When the audience saw that Night Soul's core talent skill changed from the C-level dark skill [Bell Ringing] to the B-level undead skill [Summoning the Dead], there was a sudden commotion in the audience.
The [Contract Evolution] that occurs in emotional resonance can not only reversely promote the change of the core skills of the talent, but can even be transformed from dark skills to high-level skills of other attributes without being restricted by attributes!
The emotional resonance between the Night Bell and the Beastmaster comes from their deceased relatives. It eagerly desires to bring back the souls of the Beastmaster's deceased relatives. This is the driving force behind the transformation of its core talent skill from [Bell Ringing] to [Skeleton Ghost] and its evolution into [Summoning the Undead].
Similar to the situation of the little skeleton, as long as some skills with superior selection are learned in advance, emotional bonds and resonance can be formed during the training process. When the energy of this resonance exceeds the entropy threshold of the individual contract, the energy leap caused by evolution will have the opportunity to change the original core skills of the talent.
This is the pet's own wish and emotion, and it is a resonance and feedback of the emotions of the beastmaster with whom it has the deepest bond.
Therefore, in Feng Le's explanation, [Resonance Crystal] is guided by the wishes of pets, which in turn triggers the [Ritual] proposed by them.
After hearing this, many people in the audience fell into deep thought. Also based on the Beast Taming Contract, the project presented by Feng Le was completely opposite to the previous project from Professor Yuan Xin of Hongzhou University.
The demonstration has not yet ended. After looking at the experimental case of Night Soul Guidance, Feng Le adjusted the giant screen projection to the mode of displaying illustration information.
"What you are about to see is the first case of contract evolution completed after the [ritual] using the [Resonance Crystal]."
He looked at Mu Huoyue, and the black-haired girl stepped forward again, and a summoning array with five layers of imperial patterns appeared in front of her.
The glow faded, and a strange yet extremely beautiful wolf-like extraordinary creature appeared on the podium. Its long fur was like the bright moonlight, emitting an extremely soft light. Its tail, which was longer than its body, was scattered behind it, like clouds flowing on the edge of the moon.
When it raised its head and gazed at the bottom of the podium, everyone felt an icy chill passing by, and for a moment they felt like they were in a polar glacier at night, and they couldn't help but shiver.
This is the aura of a higher-level deterrence skill that is more powerful than ordinary deterrence.
The white wolf before him, bathed in moonlight, aloof and beautiful, undoubtedly had the bloodline of a high-ranking monarch race.
Its name was displayed on the giant screen projection: the high-level monarch race with both dark and ice attributes [Frost Night Fighting Wolf].
This is the latest version of the racial information in the Affairs Bureau's atlas database. Some spectators in the audience did not have the updated atlas in their hands and could not even read its information.
This is a completely new evolution from the Little Cloud Dog to the Fighting Wolf!
Some audience members couldn't help but exclaimed, a high-level monarch race with dual attributes!
Even the Sun Flame Wolf who bred a high-level imperial race more than ten years ago, the legendary Mu Tong who was famous in Dayan, and the [Sunlight Fighting Wolf] after the first-level evolution of the little cloud dog could not reach such a terrifying height.
The core talent skill of the Frost Night Fighting Wolf is the A-level dark skill [Echoes of Midnight], which is an independent A-level skill without any prerequisite or follow-up skill trees. It is a high-level domain skill that is almost impossible to master with external force except for a very small number of dark races.
Even if it cannot evolve further, the Frost Night Fighting Wolf is still an excellent and rare pet.
But according to the research results presented in this speech, even if the Frost Night Wolf's core talent skill is [Midnight Echo] which has no upper-level skills, it still has the possibility of continuing to evolve.
If the impact evolution is successful based on the dual-attribute high-level monarch race, it will definitely enter the realm of the imperial race.
There are even imperial races that possess skills in higher domains—advanced imperial races with dual attributes of dark and ice.
Just imagining this possibility, everyone was full of anticipation for Frost Night Fighting Wolf.
After so many years, is the Little Cloud Dog family finally going to usher in the evolution of the second imperial race?
By the way, the girl on the stage who has contracted the Frost Night Fighting Wolf also has the surname Mu. I wonder if she has any connection with the Mu Tong legend?
"The Frost Night Fighting Wolf used the [Resonance Crystal] to break through the entropy threshold of the individual contract, and then completed the [Ritual] to complete its evolution."
"Before this, it was already a very well-bred little cloud dog, but due to the limitations of its innate core skills, it was never able to undergo the first-order evolution."
The giant screen projected White Fang's data when he was a little cloud dog, as well as the scene where he completed the [ritual], defeated Director Hailin's Eight Trigrams Green Spirit Frog, and flew towards the Beastmaster to complete his evolution.
Discussions continued in the audience. The dark-type Cloud Dog with the core talent of [Howl] could not even evolve into the announced dark-type evolutionary form [Shadow Wolf]. No one would have thought that it could become a new evolutionary form [Frost Night Wolf].
It chose [Battle] as its ritual of evolution, and completed its evolution at the moment of victory.
It is not only due to its own desire, but also to prove to the beastmaster who was willing to choose it when it was a little cloud dog, carefully nurture it, and fight together.
Even if one did not witness the battle in person, everyone could feel the emotional resonance flowing through the contract between the two parties at that moment.
This is the result from the Dark Attribute Research Institute of Jingzhou University. With the help of the source of the contract, it truly breaks through the limitations of the core skills of talents to create a new evolutionary theory - contract evolution!
