Xie Qingwei was thinking the same thing.

When Eren evolved, the C-level skill [Hide] replaced the D-level skill [Reorganization] and became the new talent core, and then advanced to the B-level skill [Shadow Stealth].

In White Fang's case, it seemed as if his original talent core skill [Howl] had merged [Intimidation] with his own characteristics to form a new talent core [Midnight Echo].

Compared to the possibility that White Fang comprehended the A-level skill [Midnight Echo] out of thin air and replaced [Howl] as the core skill of his talent, the inference of fusion skills is obviously more reasonable.

It is difficult to assess at this stage how much role Mu Chuyue's beast taming talent played in this, but Xie Qingwei saw huge, new possibilities in it.

Another direction for advancing extraordinary skills.

More importantly, this phenomenon of skill fusion and evolution is not limited to dark attribute skills. White Fang's ice skills have also undergone fusion and evolution.

Pets that have lost the possibility of evolution because they cannot find higher-level skills may have new hope because of this discovery.

Xie Qingwei had a hunch that the fusion evolution skill tree would become their next main research topic.

However, at this stage, we still have to complete the project [Research on the Evolutionary Driving Force of Dark Attribute Supernatural Creatures] first.

…

In the week after White Fang evolved, Mu Shuyue focused her main energy on the Dark Attribute Research Institute, preparing for the upcoming [College Attribute Research Exchange Conference].

This is one of the most important annual exchange activities of the Institute of University Attributes. Each exchange conference will produce the most cutting-edge information technology and attract much attention in all walks of life.

This is also the main battlefield for university researchers. For students like Mu Chuyue and Feng Le, assisting in completing a research project, in addition to meeting their academic research needs, can also earn them various resource rewards from the school.

It is said that the Beastmaster Association also attaches great importance to this exchange conference and has prepared generous resource rewards and special training opportunities to cultivate outstanding Beastmasters who have made their mark in various research fields.

Mu Huoyue carefully measured Bai Ya's physical data after his evolution and recorded them.

She named this new evolutionary form "Frost Night Fighting Wolf". The relevant race information has been submitted to the Affairs Bureau and will be released to the public for the first time as part of the research results at the exchange conference.

After the evolution, White Fang has grown in all aspects, but for Mu Huiyue, the most obvious change is in body shape.

The puppy Tuanzi, who used to be able to be held in her arms, is now half as tall as her. With the length of its tail, when it lies down, it can hold Mu Huiyue's entire body in its arms.

Its hair becomes more fluffy and smooth, glowing with a soft moonlight, and feels like the most expensive and comfortable velvet, making people love it.

The area of ​​the neck hair also became larger, so Mu Huoyue could pounce directly on it and bury his upper body in the hair.

Perhaps because of its ice attribute, White Fang's fur feels cool and very comfortable to the touch. Those slightly frozen ends change with his mood and become an excellent means of defense in battle.

And when the beastmaster wants to touch it, White Fang will unsolidify the hair around its body and keep it as soft as clouds and smoke.

After finishing a busy and fulfilling day of study, Mu Huiyue returned to the small apartment, with Bai Ya lying on the sofa acting as a large plush pillow to help the beastmaster restore his strength. This was the happiest time for her in the past few days.

In her beast-controlling space, the Night Demon Scarecrow stationed in the [Farmland] was observing and learning about the outside world through the flock of crows in the dark night.

Harvey remembered this new knowledge: "Beast Tamers like furry things."

It’s a pity that the scarecrow is not furry, but its crow has a lot of feathers. I wonder if Hiiragi would like to touch the furry crow?

"Rustle--" It swayed its body gently and greeted the card soldiers not far away.

Senior Allen was rarely away from the Beastmaster's shadow. At this moment, he was leaning handsomely against the World Tree with his arms folded, wondering what he was thinking about.

Allen stared at his slender, white hand bones.

It doesn’t matter. He is no longer the little skeleton who would be sad just because furry animals are more favored by beastmasters than bones.

The emotions in his contract with Hiiragi have not changed due to White Fang's evolution. Just look at the healthy bones and abundant Death Mist, which are the best proof of the deep bond between them.

...Okay, Eren admitted, he was just a little jealous that White Fang could be hugged and caressed by Hiiragi.

But as a human beastmaster, it is only natural that he likes to pet a fluffy white wolf, but does not often take the initiative to pet a life-sized skeleton, right...

"Rustle...?" Seeing the black fog around Senior Eren becoming thicker and thicker, the Night Demon Scarecrow made a puzzled shaking sound.

"Click." The skeleton stood up, and the black mist around him disappeared behind him.

He returned to the Beast Taming Space to ask Harvey for advice on seed cultivation.

Seeing that Harvey and White Fang, who had signed the post-contract, had become advanced monarch races with A-level skills, in the past, Ellen would definitely have been anxious about this, fearing that he would be surpassed by his juniors.

However, with the [Nightmare Rose Seed], the high monarch race seems to be nothing special.

Eren had a hunch that as long as he could make the Nightmare Rose bloom successfully, he would definitely be able to enter the imperial race... and even achieve a higher level of life leap.

As for now... let the puppy, who has worked hard to break through the limits and complete his evolution, be happy for a few more days.

…

The preparation of the research report went smoothly. After the final product of [Resonance Crystal] was made, Professor Xie Qingwei specially organized a physical experiment.

It is not easy to find a pet that meets the conditions for evolution and has reached a bottleneck in its core skills. After all, most people are not willing to spend time and energy on a pet that has no evolutionary potential, and will not contract such an extraordinary creature from the beginning.

The candidate they finally found was Mu Huoyue and Feng Le's senior sister who had already graduated. She contracted a pet of the dark-type medium-level warrior race, Night Bell, and her core talent skill was a C-level dark skill [Bell Ringing] with no higher-level skills.

After improving and breaking through the contract entropy threshold through [Resonance Crystal], Ye Yaoling chose the [Ritual] of returning to the cemetery in her senior sister's hometown and releasing [Bell Ringing] again.

Fortunately, the senior sister is a native of Jingzhou, and the research team went to the cemetery where her family was buried. There, Night Rattler released the bell ringing for the last time and evolved into a low-level monarch race of the dark system, Night Soul Guide.

Night Soul is a very special dark creature. It does not have undead attributes, but has the ability to call back the power of dead souls.

Its core innate skill changed from [Bell Ringing] to the B-level undead manipulation skill [Summoning the Dead] that Mu Huoyue was quite familiar with, which was also the higher-level skill of [Skeleton Ghost] that Eren mastered.

Night Rattle and the senior student met in this cemetery. It has always hoped to bring back the senior student's deceased relatives after evolving, and train itself with this goal in mind. However, due to the limitations of its innate core skills, it has never been able to evolve into Night Soul Guide.

Now she has finally achieved her wish and mastered the undead skills that can summon and control the dead. However, her relatives have passed away a long time ago. Even if undead energy such as the obsession with the dead really exists, it has dissipated without a trace after so much time.

Ye Hunyin was very disappointed about this, but the senior sister was more open-minded. She had long been accustomed to the life without her relatives, and Ye Hunyin was the important companion who would accompany her for the rest of her life.

The research team recorded the entire evolution from Night Chime to Night Soul Guidance. This experiment not only verified the feasibility of the [Resonance Crystal] and [Ritual] theories, but also proved that it is completely feasible to reversely drive the changes in core talent skills through [Contract Entropy].

Depending on the emotional resonance between the pet and the beastmaster, this drive can even transcend attribute limitations. Night Soul Guidance has the core talent skill of the undead system.

Even though it only has dark attributes at this stage, if Night Soul can evolve further, it will undoubtedly have further undead attributes.

Unfortunately, Night Soul's evolution did not experience the same magical skill [Fusion] evolution as White Fang.

With this experimental record, the research team returned to the Dark Attribute Research Institute to continue the finalization work of the research report.

Xie Qingwei was thinking about conducting another physical experiment, but was having trouble finding a suitable target.

Feng Le's vengeful spirit puppet has also reached the advanced stage of growth. There has been no record of the evolution of this kind of pet with huge individual differences in appearance. Feng Le also wants to let Rabbit try to impact evolution.

But based on his understanding of the rabbit as a beastmaster, he knew that the [ritual] it wanted was most likely impossible to complete in the current laboratory environment, so he could only think of other ways.

Xie Qingwei thought about it and set her eyes on her own guardian spirit.

"Xiaoye, do you want to try evolution?"

Her guardian spirit has reached the first stage of perfection, and with the accumulation of so many years, it has reached the possibility of impacting the imperial race.

“Wooolululul…!” A slender guardian spirit floated over. The dark halo above its head lit up. Black mist in the shape of wings circled in front of its body and made a big “X” to express its will.

Its movements were so lifelike, with all the details and expressions unique to humans. Mu Huiyue seemed to see a lively little girl crossing her arms and shaking her head wildly to express her rejection.

"Wululululul!" The guardian spirit looked earnest.

Xie Qingwei smiled helplessly, "Okay, I know you don't want to. You evolved into a guardian spirit just for the sake of [Sharing the Same Fate]. If evolving again will change your talent core, Xiaoye, you will definitely refuse."

"Wooolululul." The guardian spirit nodded in agreement.

Mu Yuyue asked curiously, "Professor Xie's guardian spirit was someone you knew before... uh, should I say, before he died? She looked like a young girl..."

Most of the ghosts behind are souls with strong obsessions and emotions after human death. They will possess living people with whom they have a connection until the other person awakens and becomes a beastmaster and discovers their own existence.

The more common situation is the blessing of ancestors. The souls of the ancestors who passed away in ancient times will possess their bloodline descendants and become their helpers.

In the ancient country of Dayan, there are even famous generals in history who have transformed into powerful back spirits with their combat experience in their lifetime, and then evolved into unique guardian spirits to protect future generations of beastmasters.

There are only a few guardian spirits like the one in Professor Xie's home that maintain a distinct expression. It looks more like the soul of a modern person. It has no pressure in smoking or making jokes, and can understand human language.

"Wululululul...!" Mu Huoyue's words seemed to make the guardian spirit very happy. It floated to the side of the black-haired girl, with black mist in the shape of wings placed on its slender body, like a human with his hands on his waist and his head raised, looking quite smug.

Look, after so many years, it can still be seen as a young girl, unlike Xie Qingwei who has become a research animal working overtime. We just told her to pay attention to her lifestyle habits and maintain her health!

Xie Qingwei burst out laughing. She was no longer old enough to be called a girl, but considering the average age of researchers with the title of professor, she was still considered young.

…Only Xiaoye was left alone in her youth forever.

She gently stroked the slender body of the guardian spirit, looked at Mu Liuyue who was curious, and Feng Le who was peeking over here but was too embarrassed to say anything.

"Let me tell you about Xiaoye."
