After half a month, it was finally time to go back. Zizhou already missed Mo Fan a little, so before leaving for the team, Zizhou also checked the resources he had obtained. In addition to the resource rewards for training in Japan, there was also the extra "salary" paid by the Forbidden City. Zizhou specially exchanged these two resources for fire soul seeds and some resources needed for the advancement of Flame Spirits.
When Yan Ling learned the exciting news that he was about to have a breakthrough, the joy in his heart was like a surging tide that instantly overwhelmed him. At this moment, it seems to have turned into a lively and happy Husky, with an irrepressible smile on its face.
"Master, I'm finally going to advance!" Yan Ling shouted excitedly, his voice full of anticipation and excitement. Then, it blinked its lively eyes and asked impatiently, "Then... do I need to find a special place to complete this advancement?"
As soon as Yan Ling thought about achieving his long-cherished goal of advancement, he felt the blood in his body boiling, and the strong excitement made it almost impossible for him to control himself. However, despite this, as a fox that always prides itself on being smart and clever, it still tries to maintain its outward reserve. I saw it slightly tilting its head and gracefully wagging its tail, trying not to look so out of control, but its constantly shaking ears had already betrayed its true mood at the moment.
So, Zizhou took Yan Ling into the mysterious observation area of the Forbidden City. This place is specially used to test the results of magic research. Its requirements for magic resistance and degree of resistance are extremely stringent and second to none. Because of this, Zizhou decided after careful consideration to let Yan Ling try to advance here. After all, if any unexpected situation occurs, the perfect protective measures here can give people some peace of mind.
At the same time, Pang Lai, who was well-informed, became curious when he learned that Zizhou wanted to upgrade his contracted beast, so he hurried over to find out. If anything unexpected happens, with his strength he will be able to lend a helping hand in time.
Zizhou skillfully placed the exquisite vessels containing precious soul seeds and many rare advanced resources neatly in front of Yan Ling. Then, he turned his head and cast his gaze towards Chief Pang Lai who was standing quietly beside him, and the two began to have an in-depth and detailed discussion on the advancement direction of Yan Ling. They looked focused and exchanged views and insights from time to time. The atmosphere was tense and full of anticipation.
"There shouldn't be any big problems with the advancement of the Blazing Demon Fox. After my careful observation, the bloodline of the contracted beast you own is extremely pure and noble. Because of this, after it completes the advancement, its demand for various resources may be a little larger, but overall, the entire advancement process will surely be smoother." Pang Lai said, looking at Zizhou with a burning gaze.
Pang Lai really admired Zizhou's contracted beast and couldn't help but admire it in his heart. However, when he thought of the Night Rakshasa owned by his student, he suddenly felt a little relieved. Otherwise, he was really worried that his students would lose their original advantageous position in the team because of the difference in their contracted beasts.
"You know, Yan Ling has always been an extremely proud being. It will never let go of such a rare opportunity for advancement!" Zizhou added in a firm tone. It was as if he had already seen the majestic appearance of the Blazing Demon Fox after it successfully advanced.
As expected, when the Flame Spirit successfully obtained the precious resources needed for advancement, the enormous energy that had been accumulated within its already majestic body over this period of time surged out like a flood that broke through a dam, and launched a fierce attack on the powerful barrier that was preventing it from further evolving! In an instant, an extremely violent whirlwind of fire appeared out of nowhere and swept across the entire venue with devastating force.
This whirlwind of fire contained heart-pounding high temperatures and destructive power, and everything was burned to ashes wherever it passed. The first to be hit was Zizhou who was standing nearby. He felt an irresistible force coming towards him, and then his carefully groomed hair instantly became messy and no longer as elegant as before. Pang Lai on the side was not much better off. His beard, which he was so proud of, was blown into two parts by the strong wind, making him look extremely embarrassed.
However, despite such a situation, Zizhou had no intention of retreating or leaving. Because he knew very well that this moment was crucial to Yan Ling. If he turned around and left at this critical moment, once Yan Ling encountered any unexpected situation, the consequences would be disastrous. Therefore, even in the face of such a harsh environment, Zizhou still gritted his teeth, stood firmly where he was, focused on Yan Ling's every move, and was ready to deal with any emergency at any time.
"Burnt Rice Cracker!" Along with this shout, a strange light flashed, and a mysterious summoning space quietly emerged. Immediately afterwards, a small and fiery red figure jumped out from the space and landed steadily on Zizhou's shoulder. In an instant, the originally noisy environment suddenly became silent, and the place where Zizhou and Panglai were located seemed to be isolated from the surroundings, forming two completely different worlds.
"Wow, it's a fire rat! It's rare to see such a rare species!"
As soon as he saw the scorched rice fruit appear, Pang Lai's eyes immediately widened and his gaze was fixed on it, his eyes full of curiosity and exploration. He stared at the scorched rice cake so intently that even Zizhou beside him felt helpless and speechless because of his burning gaze.
Jiao Miguo felt Pang Lai's overly eager gaze and felt panic in his heart. He quickly moved his small body and climbed quickly above Zizhou's head, as if he wanted to stay as far away as possible from this strange old man who made him feel uneasy. Pang Lai also noticed Jiao Miguo's dislike for him. He scratched his head slightly embarrassedly, with an embarrassed smile on his face.
A strong feeling of surprise surged in Pang Lai's heart. He knew very well that the rarity of this fire rat was beyond imagination! Not to mention in China, even if he searched all over the country, he had never seen the true appearance of a fire rat with his own eyes. Even in the records of summoned beasts treasured by those summoning mages, there is not a single word about the Fire Rat. However, there are indeed relevant records in the ancient encyclopedia of demons and monsters. However, it was an ancient book from hundreds of years ago, and the dust of time has long buried it.
According to the ancient book: The Fire Rat, also known as the Fire Cave Rat, is also a mythical beast. It has a strange fire on its body and hates water very much. It is like a spirit when it is alive and is reborn when it dies.
But now, the summoned beast in front of him made Pang Lai feel a little unpredictable. The feeling it gives people seems slightly different from the description in the legend. Not only that, this fire rat also shows extremely high spirituality and wisdom, as if it can understand human minds. What was even more peculiar was that Pang Lai did not see it exert the power of fire as rumored. Instead, in the contact just now, he clearly sensed its ingenious use of mental power. This discovery made Pang Lai fall into deep thought, and he couldn't help but start to re-examine this summoned beast that seemed ordinary but was actually extraordinary.
Zizhou completely ignored Pang Lai's curious and inquiring gaze. All his attention was now focused on Yan Ling, and his nerves were as tense as a bow with a fully drawn string. As time passed, the noisy and bustling noise outside gradually subsided until it finally returned to silence. When the dust in the sky slowly dissipated, an extremely large figure suddenly appeared in the center of the field.
"Nine-tailed Blazing Demon Princess!?"
This exclamation was not only uttered by Pang Lai, but even Zizhou could not help but utter the same exclamation. Zizhou originally thought that this was just a simple advancement, but the scene before him made him instantly realize that things were far from that simple.
The Flame Spirit raised its head proudly, and its nose seemed to be about to poke into the sky. No, it should be said that it was already raised high and pointing straight to the sky. Zizhou couldn't help laughing at the arrogant and smug look on his face.
"Alright, Yanling, stop posing, you're already looking pretty cool!"
Zizhou shouted to Yan Ling with a smile. Hearing his master's call, Yan Ling was extremely excited and ran towards Zizhou with joy. However, perhaps because they were too excited, they forgot to shrink their bodies for a moment. So, for Zizhou and Panglai, it was as if they saw an incomparably huge monster rushing towards them with an overwhelming force.
Zizhou touched his forehead helplessly and sighed.
"Flame Spirit, let's just stick with the original size."
Zizhou really felt that Yan Ling had advanced, but it seemed that it was at the cost of his IQ.
After the final inspection, it was found that Yan Ling was a mutant advanced, which was an ultra-high level advanced, and the best advanced for Pang Lai. However, Yan Ling still couldn't beat Jiao Mi Guo, because Yan Ling couldn't even get close to Jiao Mi Guo, and finally continued to be the second unwillingly.
Under Pang Lai's extremely complicated gaze, which was also mixed with a hint of envy, Zizhou resolutely embarked on the road to the National Pavilion. He and mentor Feng Li had already agreed that they would meet up with the National Government team two days later. Therefore, in this extra free time at this moment, Zizhou decided to go to the National Museum to look for his good friend Mo Fan. On the one hand, I can visit this close friend, and on the other hand, I can also take the opportunity to check out the situation of the Guardian National Pavilion.
Besides that, he also wanted to know about the recent achievements of Mo Fan and Mu Ningxue. If they perform well, maybe they can return to the National Team and fight alongside me! Thinking of this, Zizhou couldn't help but quicken his pace and walked quickly towards the national pavilion with full of anticipation.
