The sea surface sparkles under the sunlight.

With a "plop" sound, a blue-green oriental dragon soared into the sky from the deep sea. On top of its head, a woman in a black diving suit stood, looking at the sunlight in a trance.

"It's been more than half a month."

The blue dragon of the sea soared in the clouds, Gu Qingyi talked to herself.

Some time ago, in order to go to the deep sea to train the strength of her pet and to investigate the threats in the deep sea, she controlled the Blue Dragon of the Sea from the Magic City and went deep into the sea. This trip lasted for more than half a month.

After Gu Qingyi came out, her first thought was, what happened to Lu Ran.

Have you successfully passed the breakthrough secret realm?

How was your performance in the freshman tournament?

She left the special crystal and beast-taming skills to Manager Ying and left. She was a little worried.

Gu Qingyi took out her cell phone and was about to call Manager Ying to inquire about the situation, but the news that popped up one after another made her slightly stunned.

The messy news such as "The Tyrannosaurus Rex is resurrected!", "A passerby kills the Tyrannosaurus Rex with a sword", "The first dragon chef on Blue Star is born", "A professor from the culinary department enters the forging department and beats a combat genius", almost made her think that her head was filled with seawater.

"ah?"

"I've missed something."

…

At the same time, Lu Ran had returned to Sky City.

When he came out of Infinite City, Manager Ying was waiting for him in the living room.

"Oh, you did a great job."

Although Manager Ying felt that the Husky with the Dragon-Slaying Sword would not be at a disadvantage against the Tyrannosaurus Rex, when she saw Lu Ran win so easily, she realized that she had underestimated these two guys.

"It's just attribute restraint." Lu Ran smiled.

"Besides, the rare resources we promised..."

"I want a ethereal flower, is that okay?"

"I knew you would care about this the most." Manager Ying showed an expected expression: "Got it, I will convey your request to Shi Zhen."

"Shi Zhen, is he the president of the Beast Taming University?" Lu Ran asked.

"His ID in Infinite City is Shi Potian Jing. He is a first-generation beastmaster who is as active on the front line as Gu Qingyi. He is one of the 13 fifth-level beastmasters in Xia Country."

"But... I guess he will have to retire soon." said Manager Ying.

"What's wrong?" Lu Ran asked curiously.

"He was cursed when he was breaking through the secret realm, which made him unfit for battle. Therefore, the president suggested that he temporarily retire and rest for a while. So, he was given a sinecure position as university president."

"If the curse can be lifted, maybe I can return to the front line. If not, I may have to retire right where I am."

Lu Ran nodded, feeling that the road of taming beasts could not be taken lightly. Doesn’t this mean that the 13 people active on the front line will soon be reduced to 12?

"What kind of curse is it?"

"Actually, it's serious, but it's not serious either..."

"He offended a witch when he was breaking through the secret realm, causing him to be cursed and transformed into a woman from time to time. During the gender transformation process, his strength will decline significantly... Anyway, it's okay, at least his life is not in danger."

“Fuck!” Lu Ran couldn’t hold it in. How could this be considered not serious?

"Um..." Manager Ying covered her mouth. Oh, how could she just casually say such high-end information? If Shi Zhen knew about this, he would definitely kill her.

"I've given you all the information for free, so don't talk nonsense outside. Next time you see Principal Shi Zhen, stay calm and don't betray me!!"

"Well, he/she doesn't like to be seen in public. I'll bring you your ethereal flower when the time comes."

"Shit." Lu Ran still couldn't accept it quickly. No wonder the news about the Beastmaster University was all reported by the vice president. It turned out that...

What kind of curse is this?

Although he didn't know this big boss Shi Zhen, Lu Ran expressed his deep sympathy for him.

First, I thanked him for the teaching salary he paid in advance, and then I thanked him for the ethereal flowers...

If he can find a way to solve the curse in the future, he will definitely help the other person! This curse is too inhumane. Even if it turns someone into an old man or a child, it is better than gender change.

How can they be allowed to see their relatives and friends? If they are already married and have children, it would be even more cruel.

"Do you have any information about the witch that Principal Shi Zhen offended? If I enter the same secret realm in the future, I will hide myself." Lu Ran said.

"Next, next, next." Manager Ying stretched out her cat's paw and rubbed it, meaning that this information could not be obtained for free.

“Forget it.” Lu Ran said with a frown, “Anyway, no matter what secret realm we enter, I’ll just stay away from women.”

"???"

"What are you doing?"

Lu Ran whistled, not because he was reluctant to spend the money, but after thinking about it carefully, he felt that he would not be so unlucky as to encounter such a curse.

"Hey, Dr. Gu is back?" At this moment, Lu Ran's cell phone suddenly rang.

Lu Ran picked up the phone and saw that the caller was Gu Qingyi who had been offline for a long time.

"Are you finally back?" Manager Ying's eyes lit up and she said, "Go ask her what information she found in her deep sea exploration."

"Given the relationship between her and me, this is called intelligence sharing," Manager Ying corrected.

"Then I think our relationship can be upgraded, and we can share intelligence in the future..."

Under the murderous gaze of store manager Ying, Lu Ran quickly answered Dr. Gu's call.

"Huh..." From the other side, the sound of Gu Qingyi's deep breathing came.

"Lu Ran, I just read the news during this period."

"You are quite capable."

Originally, with the emergence of research results such as the Condor Federation's resurrection of dinosaurs, Gu Qingyi, a dragon researcher from the Xia State, would be under tremendous pressure.

However, as the news of Lu Ran beating the Tyrannosaurus Rex team came out, this pressure suddenly disappeared.

Instead, it is the Federation's Dinosaur Life Research Institute that will be under tremendous pressure from Xia Guolong's chef Lu Ran.

This reversal made Gu Qingyi a little confused. You know, Lu Ran was just a newcomer of the fourth generation.

What on earth did this guy do to break through the secret realm that he actually obtained Yan Sizhen’s inheritance.

"Thank you, thank you." Facing Dr. Gu's compliment, Lu Ran smiled brightly.

"I'll be in Sky City soon."

"We'll talk when we meet."

After Gu Qingyi returned, she was supposed to report to the alliance headquarters first, but now she just wanted to come to Sky City first.

"Oh, right." At this time, Manager Ying said, "You want the ethereal flower because you want to awaken the space system for your pet, right?"

"I suggest you ask her advice later and fuse and awaken in the best order."

"I know." Lu Ran nodded.

The third trait of the King of Sudden Death must be the dragon trait.

As for Mr. Ha, even if Lu Ran wanted to awaken the space system for him, he would not awaken at level 30.

It could be level 40 or level 50, but not level 30.

Because at level 30, the pet will face a crucial turning point, the first stage of evolution.

The difference between this evolution and the previous two fusions is that this evolution has the greatest impact on race, form, attributes, gender, ability, and talent! It will integrate all the potential and talents of the pets before and promote the transformation of the pets.

During the process, the pet's form will change greatly, and it is possible to change to a different species, such as a fish leaping over the dragon gate. Even if the previous three fusions were all traits, new attributes may be added during this process. Some pets may even change their gender during this process.

The racial talents awakened at level 30, also called evolutionary talents, are generally stronger.

This evolution is also a critical stage in which the pet race level is greatly improved.

Most of the beastmasters' pets evolve to the king race at level 30. If you miss this opportunity, it will be difficult in the future.

If Lu Ran wants to make Mr. Ha's evolution more perfect, he must be extremely cautious when integrating the new power at level 30.

It must be in good agreement with the two traits of weapon control and nature control, as well as Mr. Ha's race, attributes, and talents.

If the space system is integrated at level 30, it would be equivalent to temporarily opening up a new track for Mr. Ha. Although the space system is strong, the space power may not be able to be perfectly integrated into the next evolution.

At level 30, Mr. Ha still needs a trait that can assist it in its perfect evolution, rather than adding a new powerful attribute.

The space system can be completely integrated into it as a new power field when Mr. Ha reaches level 40, 50, or 60 and pursues the second stage of evolution. That way the fault tolerance rate will be higher.

So after getting the ethereal flower, Lu Ran made up his mind. Either he would wait until Mr. Ha reached level 40 before giving it to him, or else he would see if the third or fourth pet was suitable.

Not long after, Gu Qingyi came to Lu Ran's dormitory.

After more than half a month, Lu Ran felt that Dr. Gu's skin was much more hydrated. Was it because of the sea water? That shouldn't be the case... soaking in water all the time... shouldn't the skin become flaky?

"What are you looking at?" Gu Qingyi noticed that Lu Ran was looking at her arm and asked.

"Oh no. Dr. Gu, you're finally back." Lu Ran laughed and said, "How was the harvest?"

“The harvest is not small, but not as big as yours.” Gu Qingyi looked at Lu Ran deeply. There are not many people in the entire Blue Star who can gain such a harvest after the emperor’s inheritance for the first time breaking through the secret realm.

"Xiao Qingyi, what's the situation in the deep sea?" Manager Ying was very concerned about this issue.

"The situation is not optimistic. The deep sea environment is very bad now. The magnetic field in the space is extremely chaotic. The transmission function of the ID card cannot be used normally. Secondly, there are many level 40 and 50 marine beasts in the deep sea, far exceeding the number of powerful beasts on land."

"Fortunately, they are only focused on competing for deep-sea resources, and they probably won't be too interested in land. But if this continues, I'm worried that powerful creatures of level 60 or 70, far exceeding the strength of land creatures, will soon appear in the deep sea."

"By then, even if they have no interest in land, they may still pose a huge threat to land due to their overwhelming strength. A battle may affect the external celestial phenomena and trigger disasters such as tsunamis, earthquakes, and volcanic eruptions."

"Moreover, as evolution progresses, some marine organisms have developed the ability to survive on land, so it is not impossible for them to come onto land."

Because the deep sea is too hot, they evolved the ability to live on land to change their territory. This is in line with the laws of evolution.

Gu Qingyi looked at Lu Ran and said, "No matter what, we must prepare for the worst. With the intensification of global evolution, the most threatening place for humans is likely to be the ocean."

"As a coastal city, Green Sea City has a lot of potential threats. As the head of the city, you should also pay attention to the movements of the ocean."

“Uh.” Lu Ran’s expression became serious. Dr. Gu’s intention… was for him to take the initiative, dominate the coastal waters first, and become the king of the coastal waters?
