Chapter 145 - 139: High-level Dragon Crystal

The next day at noon.

David Jones, who was dropped off at his doorstep by Guildmaster Maud, politely said, “Thank you.”

Having the president of the Trainer Guild, a big shot in town, personally drive him home was a treatment he had never received before, which inflated his ego slightly.

“You worked hard in the Trainer Competition!”

Guildmaster Maud coughed lightly, his tone becoming somewhat serious, “Oh right, I forgot to mention one last thing. The evolution path of the Frost Wyvern you submitted to the Trainer Guild has been confirmed to fail!”

Upon hearing the word ‘failure’, a shock ran through David’s heart and confusion clouded his face. “The information submitted was very detailed, couldn’t the Guild evolve even a single Coldjade Snake?”

The pets used by the Trainer Guild for evolution experiments usually had excellent talents; he couldn’t fathom a complete failure!

As everyone knows, the higher the potential of a pet, the higher the success rate of species evolution, and the better the increase in strength.

In the dungeon of Mountain Southshore, Rainbow’s potential had reached the Golden S-tier after her baptism in the Snow Pool on Mount Heaven. The probability of evolution failure was extremely low, which is why David allowed Rainbow to evolve without worry.

Guildmaster Maud explained, “According to the evolution path you provided, the guild serendipitously discovered another Superior variant of the Coldjade Snake. Unfortunately, not a single Coldjade Snake could evolve into a Frost Wyvern following this route.”

Hearing this, David’s eyes widened in shock. “Then Rainbow…”

Even thinking back now, he was still amazed by Rainbow’s audacity at the time.

If it wasn’t for hearing it from Rainbow herself afterward, David would never have known that Rainbow had burned all of her bloodline in her evolution process and attempted to transform into a dragon using the Dragon-Wielding power and the Junior Dragon Crystal he had been strengthening regularly.

Fortunately, at the very end, that mysterious core Dragon Scale played a crucial role, or else Rainbow would have met her end!

Guildmaster Maud gave David a deep look, “The situation with Rainbow may be an exception.”

“Because the guild could not find the same active Dragon Scale in the Mountain Southshore dungeon, we used the Dragon Scales from other real Epic dragons as material for evolution.”

“Perhaps it was because of this, all tested Coldjade Snakes failed.”

“So you’re saying, only Rainbow has the evolved form of the Frost Wyvern, and she belongs to a special evolved form of pets!”

“Special evolved form?” David was somewhat puzzled; it was the first time he had heard this term.

Guildmaster Maud explained, “The so-called special evolved form refers to unique pets with only one example and are unable to be successfully copied. Rainbow evolved from a superior Coldjade Snake into a dragon-wielding Superior. This major leap in bloodline is something the association’s researchers can’t understand.”

At this, Guildmaster Maud laughed, “So, the association conjectures that the Dragon Scale you used most likely came from the core Dragon Scale of a legendary True Dragon. It contains extremely pure True Dragon bloodline, which might have what broke the rules. Otherwise, with the Coldjade Snake’s bloodline, at most it could have evolved into a Viper Pet!”

David nodded thoughtfully.

Guildmaster Maud continued, “Although the Waterland Trainer Guild’s verification project failed, because the progression path has a high ceiling and strong potential, this research project has been transferred to the Sunbeam Province Trainer Guild and has been classified as a secret research project.” Upon hearing this, David blinked, “A secret research project? Does that mean I can’t provide Rainbow’s evolution path to others and can only use it for myself?”

Guildmaster Maud said, “Yes, but as compensation, you will receive a large amount of Contribution Points as a reward.”

“A large amount!” David’s eyes lit up a little.

Guildmaster Maud said with a smile, “Currently, the guild’s compensation is one thousand Contribution Points. If the provincial Trainer Guild’s research project succeeds, the Contribution Points you receive subsequently will be even more.”

David’s expression stiffened.

Upon hearing the words ‘large amount’, perhaps his expectations were too high; he thought the Contribution Points rewarded by the guild would be a lot, but it turned out to be just one thousand Contribution Points.

However, rethinking it, Rainbow’s evolved form merely provided an idea for the guild’s researchers.

This one thousand Contribution Points could already be considered a generous income!

“Alright.” David immediately nodded in agreement.

Guildmaster Maud said with a laugh, “Here is the authorization agreement and confidentiality agreement. You just need to sign your name on these two agreements!”

“If the research project makes breakthrough progress, the guild will also provide you with the detailed evolution data. Of course, the data provided free of charge also require you to keep confidential.”

David happily agreed, “No problem.”

After returning home, David collapsed onto the couch and fell into deep thought.

There are still six months before the Beastmaster’s Examination begins.

His main task at present is to enhance Rainbow’s Strength Level to Class III. Only then would he have a better chance to get the Star-Condensing Elixir from Rosewood College.

Thinking of this, David carefully scanned his surroundings, then took out three dull-colored Junior Dragon Crystals from his Star Ring.

His Innate Talent, Dragon-Wielding, has two uses.

The first is to directly use Dragon Force to strengthen his pets, the effect of which is immediately noticeable.

The speed at which the pets’ strength and potential grow is increasing daily, but compared to the Junior Dragon Crystals, they are less helpful in breaking through the strength level barriers.

The second is to use mental power to strengthen Dragon Crystals. High-level Dragon Crystals have unique miraculous effects on pet evolution and advancement, but the preparation time is too long.

Therefore, to shorten the early development period, the time he uses Dragon-Wielding to strengthen pets is much longer than the time spent strengthening Dragon Crystals!

David held the three dark red crystals in his hand and began the refinement and strengthening of the Junior Dragon Crystals.

Every Arcane Star upgrade greatly enhances his Innate Talent.

Without drinking Lolo’s special spirit liquid, he wanted to test the limit of his Dragon-Wielding power this time!

With a thought, David’s immense Dragon-Wielding power surged into the palm of his hand where the faintly glowing crystals were.

After ten minutes, a smile of excitement emerged on David’s face.

Unlike before, now, with his abundant energy, even if he strengthened three Dragon Crystals at once, he still felt like he could do more with his body.

Time slowly passed during the strengthening, and an hour went by unnoticeably. The Dragon Crystals in his palm began to emit a dazzling red glow.

Noticing this drastic change, a flash of surprise emerged in David’s eyes. “Is it about to advance?”

This dazzling glow did not last long, only about five minutes.

The next second, three pale pink crystalline objects appeared before his eyes.

Subconsciously, David urged his Identify skill.

[Senior Dragon Crystal]: A mysterious object containing mysterious powers, it can allow a Superior being’s bloodline to trace back to the origin of the dragon and has a fifty percent chance of awakening a random Dragon skill..
