Time passed quietly, and when the winter vacation entered the second half, Mu Liuyue received a reply from Professor Xie Qingwei.

Professor Xie did not go home for the New Year, but took advantage of the holiday to visit the Yunzhou Log Research Institute to exchange ideas on skill research with Professor Wang Yu.

After the cooperation project of [Contract Evolution] with various parties was on track, Professor Xie did not relax the research progress at all. She was still very concerned about the skill fusion phenomenon that occurred when the Little Cloud Dog evolved into the Frost Night Fighting Wolf.

Next, Professor Xie will take the fusion evolution of skills as the main research direction, and Professor Wang Yu of the Log Research Institute is also an expert in skill research. The two plan to establish a collaborative research project.

Mu Huoyue happened to send a discussion message about the fusion of skills and the potential for evolution. After the Yuanmu Research Institute initially finalized the cooperation plan, Xie Qingwei returned to Jingzhou University and wrote back to the capable student immediately.

Mu Huiyue called Wen Li, who was at Phoenix Mountain, and the two went to Jingzhou University's Dark Attribute Research Institute together.

The process of Flame Cat evolving into Flame Masked Cat is also a special evolution type that changes the [Talent Core Skill], and it is an example of not having dark attributes.

Mu Chuyue met Professor Xie in the laboratory of the research institute. Her guardian spirit Xiaoye was still beside her. In addition, there was another researcher who looked somewhat familiar to Mu Chuyue.

It’s Professor Wang Yu from the Log Research Institute.

She wore plain half-frame glasses, and her expression was very similar to that of her proud student Lin Lin. Both were researchers who were very confident in their own knowledge.

Mu Chuyue had met her once at a college attribute research exchange conference, and had heard of Professor Wang Yu's research results before.

The most famous item recently is naturally the special skill [Inverted Space].

She is more authoritative in the study of skill usage and hidden energy release paths than Professor Xie Qingwei, who specializes in dark attribute research. This is also the original intention of Professor Xie to establish a cooperative project.

Mu Huoyue and Wen Li greeted the two professors, and then Wen Li summoned the Masked Cat to conduct a routine physical examination.

It was the first time for Ah Miao to experience such a scene. He lay on the examination table and curled up his tail nervously.

Wen Li smiled and touched the burning mask on its head. These high-temperature flames would not harm the beastmaster that Ah Miao trusted the most.

The test results surprised both professors.

After listening to Wen Li's detailed description of the evolution process, Xie Qingwei stroked her chin and thought, "This is very similar to the conditions of [Contract Evolution]. For Flame Strike Meow, passing the Divine Phoenix Witch Ceremony's trial and possessing the Vermillion Flame Bird's talent core and evolutionary potential... is its greatest obsession after making a contract with you, right?"

"Ah... is that so, A-Meow?" Wen Li looked at the contracted pet that walked down from the testing table.

"Meow." Fu Yan Masked Cat shrugged very humanely. It turned out that this slow-witted beastmaster of his own didn't notice anything at all.

That was indeed its obsession. Ever since the days of Flametail Cat, it had always hoped to become Wen Li's strongest and most reliable partner. The highest mountain standing in its way was the Cinder Sparrow that Wen Li was supposed to have contracted.

In order to surpass Cindersparrow, which has the potential to evolve into the emperor race, Flametail trained very hard and evolved into Flamestrike, a warrior race, early on, but the road ahead was still bleak.

The upper limit of the race's potential is an insurmountable gap. No matter how hard it tries, if it can only stop at the mature stage of the warrior race, then everything is meaningless. Not to mention the final evolved form of the Cinder Sparrow, the Vermillion Flame Bird, even the new partner contracted by Wen Li cannot compare to it.

It wants to pass the Divine Phoenix Trial, become the true partner of the witch priest Wen Li, and possess the ability to summon the [Heavenly Fire Sacrifice] like the Red Flame Bird.

To this end, it even tried its best to learn the initial prerequisite skill [Fire Meteor] when it was a Flametail Cat.

The moment it truly passed the trial, past experiences and the determination that had always been lingering burst out together, as if igniting the fire of Flame Attack Cat's soul, and becoming the source of power that supported it to break through the limits of its race and leap to a higher level of life.

The Masked Cat agreed with Professor Xie Qingwei's opinion. It did gain the motivation for evolution from its own obsession.

Professor Wang Yu, who was standing by, looked at the results of the physical examination and said, "I think that the Phoenix Essence Fire that breaks through the [Threshold] is also the key to evolution."

"At that time, Flame Strike Cat had already reached the tenth stage of growth. Its physical condition, skill proficiency, and hidden energy value had all reached the critical point of evolution. It just lacked the evolution path of [Innate Core Skills]..."

"The [Contract Evolution] of a dark pet is to change its core talent skills by breaking through the individual [Contract Entropy] threshold after the pet reaches the evolution conditions. This is determined by the dark pet's ability to utilize emotional energy."

"For the fire-type pet Flame Attack Meow, the opportunity to break through the individual energy threshold is the Phoenix Essence Fire of the Sun God Phoenix."

Hearing this, Xie Qingwei showed a thoughtful expression, "In other words, the concept of [individual threshold] will be manifested in different ways for different attributes?"

"But this concept itself can be used for attributes other than dark attributes."

Professor Wang Yu nodded. "Breaking through the [Individual Threshold] of attribute energy, thereby driving changes in [Innate Core Skills]... This is an interesting direction worth trying."

As she spoke, she looked at Mu Shuyue who was beside Wen Li, "You mentioned the correlation between skills and evolutionary potential before, right?"

Mu Huoyue briefly outlined his thoughts on [Skill Fusion].

Whether it was Ellen before, Feng Le's Soul Puppet, or the senior sister's Night Soul Guidance, or even Wen Li's Flame-covered Masked Cat, all the cases of changing the core skills of talents during the evolution process are still following the existing skill evolution path.

Only White Fang's situation is different. White Fang not only changed the core skills of his talents, but also achieved a jump in the skill evolution path. [Howl] and [Echoes of the Midnight Sun] are both independent skills without prerequisites and follow-ups, but they achieved another [evolution] in its evolution.

Like a skill evolution that combines the characteristics of multiple skills.

Mu Shuyue didn't know whether this phenomenon could be analyzed and reproduced. If the principle behind it could be understood, other pets could also reproduce the phenomenon of skill fusion...

They might discover results that are even more shocking than [Contract Evolution], a completely new skill evolution path that is enough to subvert all existing attribute skill evolution trees.

This also represents countless new evolutionary paths that are no longer limited to core talents or even attributes.

Any researcher would be excited about such an opportunity. Professor Wang Yu was willing to put aside the progress of [Inverted Space] and come to the Dark Attribute Research Institute of Jingzhou University because he was more optimistic about the [Skill Fusion] concept proposed by Mu Liuyue and Xie Qingwei.

She and Professor Xie have carefully studied the evolution data of the Frost Night Fighting Wolf. The biggest difference from other [Contract Evolution] cases should be Mu Huoyue's newly awakened dark enhancement talent [Energy Condensation].

"After White Fang evolved, have you used [Energy Condensation] on your pets, Hiiragi?" Xie Qingwei looked at her student and asked.

Mu Huiyue nodded. Since the end of the attribute research exchange conference, she has used [Energy Condensation] twice on each of her pets to make it easier for them to use combined skills in daily training.

"That's great, let Lao Wang see the effect." Professor Xie smiled and started the closed experimental field in the back.

A new hidden energy detection device has been added here, which is specifically used for testing the power of extraordinary skills. It is an auxiliary equipment borrowed from the Log Research Institute.

Mu Huiyue called out the card soldier in the shadow. When it comes to the use of combination skills, Ellen is the most skilled among the three pets.

After a brief exchange, the white skeleton merged into the shadows again, and then emerged from the closed experimental field.

The two professors adjusted the testing equipment and looked at the card-carrying soldiers, revealing a hint of anticipation.

Ellen condensed a sharp bone blade in his hand, which was an advanced B-level dark attack skill, Bone Blade Piercing.

Black mist swirled around him, gently stirring the shadows within the enclosed experimental field.

The vast hidden energy gathered with the bone blade as the center. Thanks to the precise control of the Pai Ya Bing, it was not released immediately, but was stabilized and condensed in place, slowly circling.

Then, the pitch-black liquid spread upwards, wrapping the white bone blade with a layer of sharp metallic color.

C-rank Steel-type skill: Calcification.

This is a status enhancement skill that uses flowing hidden energy to wrap and strengthen the cuticles of various bones. When used simultaneously with attack skills, it is a high-level combat skill that can be achieved through training.

The skeleton raised the pitch-black bone blade and snapped its long fingers.

The dark blue netherworld fire turned into a flowing flame, burning upward from between the arms, forming a huge cone surrounding the bone blade, as if turning this sharp weapon into a lance swirling with blue flames.

B-level fire attack skill: Netherfire.

Professor Wang Yu's breathing became rapid as he witnessed this scene. The two attack skills that were originally impossible to use at the same time were coexisting in some kind of wonderful balance and were held in the hands of the Pai Ya Bing.

Just like the raindrops that are destined to fall when it rains, they are now suspended in the air by some invisible aura, forming an aerial pond.

This is not something that can be accomplished by simple [combat skills]; it is like unknown magic, the inexplicable wonders of nature; it is some special power that changes existing cognition.

Changes in skill release path!

The card-tooth soldier in the closed experimental field used this familiar combination skill and stabbed the operating skill detection device with all his strength.

Bang--!

The violent collision of energy made a sharp explosion, and the closed defense layer was fully deployed, blocking the aftermath of the shock after the skill was released.

Professor Wang Yu looked at the readings of the detection device with an incredible expression.

The hidden energy value released at the moment of hitting the device was as high as 23wP!

Not to mention it's a B-level attack skill, this even exceeds the hidden energy value of a regular A-level attack skill!

You should know that the normal hidden energy value of the second-level mature monarch race card soldier does not exceed 30wP at this time.

This combination of skills unleashed a combat power far beyond his potential limit.

If the three skills can achieve [Skill Fusion] and complete the skill evolution while the race evolves, there will be no doubt that they will break through their respective evolutionary paths and reach A-level or even S-level attack skills.
