Chapter 104: Chapter 44: Arrogant Remarks (Seeking Investment and Followers)
Unlike reviewing evolution plans, the breeding achievement competition requires a live presentation of research findings; theories alone are not enough to be acknowledged by the judges.
Therefore, after a brief introduction of the general situation, Shi Yuhua gestured toward the group from Jinghua University and soon, one person stood out.
Seeing the young man who walked onto the stage with a nervous expression, Lin Su's face showed a hint of surprise.
Could it be Zhang Xuyang?
As Zhang Xuyang stepped onto the stage, Shi Yuhua picked up the microphone and resumed speaking, "This is a freshman from Jinghua University, and also a volunteer for this presentation. His second pet beast is the Mushroom Baby. Now, I'll use his pet beast as an example to showcase the brand new evolution type of Mushroom Baby."
With Shi Yuhua's words ending, Zhang Xuyang's feet began to glow with pale yellow patterns, and soon, Mushroom Baby was summoned.
Under Shi Yuhua's indication, Mushroom Baby was lifted up for all attendees to conduct an energy check to confirm its condition, then immediately afterward, Mushroom Baby's evolution began in full view of the audience.
Under the curious and expectant gazes of everyone, Mushroom Baby consumed all the prepared evolutionary resources and then stepped into a pot of soil that was ready beforehand.
Is this... the wood-based evolutionary technique, Grow Roots?
Witnessing this scene, the crowd couldn't help but start murmuring among themselves.
"A wood-based evolutionary technique? Is it a single-attribute evolution type?"
"Shouldn't single-attribute evolution types be weaker in strength?"
"That's hard to say, some single-attribute evolution types are very strong. Let's see if it evolves."
"True, the research results from Jinghua University are trustworthy."
"..."
In the seating area of Mountain City University, Lin Su's expression became increasingly strange.
Mushroom Baby, the Grow Roots evolutionary technique, plus the evolutionary resources that Mushroom Baby just ate...
Lin Su already knew what was going to happen next.
Originally he had planned to wait until Qin Nan's research was completely finished and then find an opportunity to study this evolution type; after all, Qin Nan had taken great care of him, and showing Qin Nan the evolution type of Mushroom Baby was his way of returning the favor.
Unexpectedly, before he could step in, someone had already discovered it.
He also heard the comments from the other spectators around him.
But...
Who said that a wood-type pet beast using a wood-based evolutionary technique would definitely be a single-attribute pet beast?
Under the watchful eyes of countless people, Mushroom Baby closed its eyes, and energy storms converged and swirled around it. Soon, a strong and dazzling Evolution Light emerged!
The white expanse of Evolution Light was particularly blinding. Through the light, it was vaguely possible to see Mushroom Baby's shape quietly changing until, with the dissipation of the Evolution Light, a brand-new pet beast appeared before everyone.
Mushroom Baby's soft and huge umbrella cap had shrunk by half, its body below the cap had grown several times larger than before, its previously thin physique had become muscular and sinewy, and its hands, which had been as slender as tree roots, now had two fists the size of sandbags, making it look incredibly ferocious.
Its appearance was no longer like a mushroom, but rather like a brawny man with a mushroom head.
At the same time, the holographic screen displayed information about this pet beast.
[Species Name: Mush-Rock
Species Rank: Lower Monarch Species
Attributes: Wood, Fighting
Talent Skills: Life Spore (Core), Spore Parasite, Vitality Breath, Super-speed Regeneration, Fast Punch, Monarch Power]
Seeing the text that appeared on the holographic screen, all the viewers were stunned, and then they couldn't help but widen their eyes in astonishment.
In the live broadcast room that was simultaneously showing the scene, the barrage of comments had already gone crazy. If one didn't choose to block the barrage, they couldn't even see the broadcast clearly.
Fighting attribute!
This was an extremely special attribute. It had no corresponding attribute evolution technique, but it could appear during evolution. The exact pattern of its appearance was still undiscovered, but every pet beast with the Fighting attribute had the strongest close-combat attack power of its rank.
"Mushroom Baby has evolved into Mush-Rock, awakening the talent skill Monarch Power, which all Monarch species possess. The original core skill Healing Spore has metamorphosed into Life Spore, further enhancing its healing capability. In addition to that, two new skills, Super-speed Regeneration and Fast Punch, have been awakened."
"The practicality of Super-speed Regeneration needs no elaboration. This rare skill only potentially awakens when a pet beast possesses both Wood and Fighting attributes. Combined with the Fighting skill Fast Punch, just these two skills alone make Mush-Rock a combatant no less powerful than other lower Monarch species!"
While everyone was still amazed by Mush-Rock's Fighting attribute, Shi Yuhua's voice echoed in their ears.
That's right!
The audience snapped to awareness.
Super-speed Regeneration!
This skill allowed an injured pet beast to regenerate damaged limbs at an incredibly fast speed, and it could easily accomplish even limb regeneration, although the chance of spontaneously awakening was very low, and there were no known ways to teach it.
Such a skill, combined with a Fighting attribute.
Undoubtedly, after the breeding achievement competition concluded, Mush-Rock, this new evolution type, would become the new choice of numerous Beast Tamers!
Even Mushroom Baby, a pet beast species that was originally less popular, would see its value soar!
Indeed, there was no need to wait until the end of the breeding achievement competition; Mushroom Baby's situation had already changed.
Almost simultaneously as Shi Yuhua started introducing it, across the 72 safe zones of the Yanhuang Alliance, countless breeding parks that raised Mushroom Babies had their phone lines overwhelmed, with a great number of Beast Tamers wanting to buy or reserve Mushroom Babies.
