Beast Taming: the More the Better-Chapter 803 - 348: Evolution of the Coral Insect! Rainbow Dragon’s Hope!
Under the influence of Linlang Star, this Rainbow Aurora suddenly transformed from light into substance.
It became an opaque light barrier of rainbow colors, completely enveloping the Rainbow Coral Worm within.
Yet, this wasn’t the end.
Su Ping again broke off a piece from the giant rainbow coral reef beside him. He placed it together with the cocoon-like light barrier of the Rainbow Coral Worm, finally forming a head-sized ’coral egg’, before he felt relieved.
Then, he looked at the Water Dragon and Ray Saint beside him in the water.
Ray Saint stretched out his fingers, instantly expelling the water around them, creating an empty space underwater, before speaking:
"Su Ping, is it really to eat this?"
"That’s right! Please help me, Shangshan Dragon King, but remember, do not chew, do not forcibly refine and digest through energy, just let this thing fully absorb your Qi. Once you feel the evolution energy fluctuating, spit it out immediately."
Su Ping looked at the giant Water Dragon at Ray Saint’s feet.
Clearly, the Water Dragon was very reluctant to swallow such a stone.
However, Su Ping’s call of Dragon King made the creature glance at him with satisfaction:
Hmm... this human does indeed possess the aura of Dragon Might; truly insightful!
Subsequently, this self-assured Water Dragon, even more so than Da Huang, under Ray Saint’s urging, opened its massive mouth formed by water element and swallowed the Rainbow Coral Worm into its body.
Plop!
The Water Dragon carried Su Ping and Ray Saint back to the shore from beneath the Heart of Water.
At this time, the two humans and one dragon were clearly waiting.
Ray Saint finally couldn’t help but ask:
"Su Ping, tell me honestly, is this what you’ve been studying these past few days? How confident are you?"
Without any embarrassment, Su Ping nodded and acknowledged his achievement, then thought for a moment:
"If we’re talking about whether the evolution will be successful, then I have seventy to eighty percent confidence that I can succeed. But as for whether this evolutionary body can become a true Rainbow Dragon in the future, I’m not sure."
Ray Saint gave him a peculiar look, when did he ever say it could evolve into a Rainbow Dragon?
This matter has been studied by the Eastern Sea Dragon Palace for so long without results. If it weren’t for the ’Dragon Gate’ detecting the Rainbow Coral Worm’s Dragon Transformation potential, the Dragon Palace would have already given up.
This kid really speaks boldly.
However, this evolution success rate?
"So confident? Tell me more?"
Su Ping did not hide anything, as for the direction and concept of cultivation, since he already has the answers, he can speak freely:
"It’s simple, I reviewed the many instances of evolution cultivation by the Four Seas Dragon Palace before discovering that the successful cases of Rainbow Coral Worm evolution were all during the cocoon evolution process.
Although Rainbow Coral Worm is rare and its traits are extraordinary, it is still part of the Insect Clan.
For any Insect-type Beast, forming a cocoon or shedding is a necessary process; this is the evolution principle of Insect-type Beasts."
Ray Saint nodded, indeed.
Su Ping continued:
"Therefore, the evolution form of Rainbow Coral Worm must be cocoon evolution. There are many theories of this kind of evolution, so I won’t elaborate. Using Linlang Star and the food I previously fed as energy and cocoon resources is doubly beneficial and perfectly matches the attributes.
This can be seen in the cultivation logs of the Four Seas Dragon Palace before, where light system resources used for cultivation yield better results than water system. The real uncertainty for me comes from the connection with Dragons.
The cultivation logs include using Dragon Blood and various other dragon type resources, but the effects are always mediocre. However, a necessary condition for Rainbow Coral Worm’s evolution is Dragon Qi.
Because without Dragon Qi, although Rainbow Coral Worm is precious, over the years, if simply nurturing it through basic insect clan evolution to butterfly, someone would’ve succeeded already, but none have.
Conversely, the Four Seas Dragon Palace has several cases of Rainbow Coral Worm evolution, although the final results... emmm... weren’t very promising, but it proves that Dragon Qi is essential for Coral Worm evolution."
Su Ping spoke tactfully, but Ray Saint understood.
Among the many evolutions at the Four Seas Dragon Palace, although perhaps providing some improvement, many of Rainbow Coral Worm’s abilities disappeared in these evolution cases.
For instance, the most crucial abilities, such as emitting the skill of Rainbow Aurora merging into water, and the ability to secrete Rainbow Coral, were lost.
Initially, the evolution cultivation of Rainbow Coral Worm was genuinely a very lackluster endeavor.
However, Ray Saint didn’t expect that just based on these aspects, Su Ping somehow analyzed so much?
"In my view, those evolutions were too extreme, causing the Dragon Qi to be excessively strong and erasing Rainbow Coral Worm’s original traits during a single evolution. This altered the abilities of those evolved Coral Worms.
From the perspective of Dragon Transformation evolution, this might seem beneficial, yet in reality, during the initial weak stage of evolution, Rainbow Coral Worm merges with other relatively powerful traits that must be directed towards Dragon Qi adaptation. Such mottled abilities impact Rainbow Coral Worm’s foundations from the very start.
How could it later evolve into a true Divine Dragon with light system and water system dual attributes when its abilities are compromised like this?
This is clearly impossible, therefore, in my view, Rainbow Coral Worm’s first evolution must have Dragon Qi intervention, but not excessively. Just letting it slightly absorb the aura of a water dragon, as an external wrapping for its ’cocoon’, suffices.
This method seems risky but is arguably the most reasonable one I can think of, moreover, even if it fails, it won’t cause any harm to Rainbow Coral Worm."
Su Ping’s doubts and inquiries, his own answers and reasoning, left Ray Saint bewildered and amazed.
Could it be?
The Eastern Sea Dragon Palace’s previous approach to Rainbow Coral Worm’s evolution has such significant flaws?
Most importantly, did this kid understand this within just half a month?
Not only understand but even find a method he believes can resolve it?
Is this reasonable?
Remarkably, just this discussion left Ray Saint unexpectedly developing an inexplicable confidence in Su Ping.
This confidence wasn’t about whether Su Ping could complete the first successful evolution of the Rainbow Coral Worm.
After hearing Su Ping’s words, Ray Saint found no reasons for the evolution to fail.
His confidence was based on whether the theoretical existence of Dragon Species: Rainbow Dragon, which was previously proposed by the Four Seas Dragon Palace, could be cultivated by this kid.
Rare dual-attribute dragon species of light system and water system!
If proven possible to cultivate, it would not only shock the Four Seas Dragon Palace but perhaps the entire Dragon City internally?
Nonetheless, to truly achieve this, mere words aren’t enough.
This time, Ray Saint refrained from saying more, instead, his eyes began to turn as he prepared to contemplate another matter.
Just at the next moment, after waiting nearly half an hour, the previously bored Water Dragon named ’Shangshan’ at the shore suddenly changed its ’expression’.
Without waiting for the pair to react, it quickly opened its mouth, and a water blob of rainbow light sprayed out.
The next moment, the core of this glowing substance, mixed with the evolution Qi and Light of Evolution, was expelled.
It quietly rested on the shore by the Heart of Water. 𝙧𝙚𝙚𝔀𝒆𝓫𝓷𝙤𝓿𝒆𝙡.𝒄𝙤𝓶
Ray Saint’s eyes locked onto the light intensely, even if he had guessed, he was still amazed:
This Rainbow Coral Worm is actually starting to evolve!
This kid’s theory just now was actually correct?!
