Finally, under the watchful eyes of countless people, the light of evolution gradually faded from the first skeleton soldier, revealing an icy skeleton in front of everyone.

“Name: Ice Bone.”

“Nature: Ice Clan, Undead Department.”

“Bloodline Level: Mid-level Servant.”

As soon as the Ice Bone appeared, its data were immediately displayed on the side screen.

“It evolved into Ice Bone just by using a single common-grade Cold Light Stone?”

Seeing the skeleton soldier succeed in its evolution, all the masters present cried out in amazement.

Unlike growth levels which can be increased through continuous training, a beast must be supported by certain materials if it wants to change its bloodline.

Because of the differences between different races and levels, the formulas for beast evolution are almost never the same, so every formula is extremely valuable.

Now, Bai Qi had actually facilitated evolution with only a single piece of common Cold Light Stone. Although it was the lowest-grade skeleton soldier, it was enough to surprise everyone.

Wait, they were talking about Rune Evolution just now, weren’t they?

There are quite a few masters present who belong to the Undead Department. They quickly recalled Bai Qj’s previous act of pressing the Cold Light Stone into the backbone of the skeleton soldier.

If their guess correctly, the runes they were talking about should have been drawn on the spine of the skeleton soldier in advance, right?

But aren’t runes only used in the making of treasures and the Secret Realm Tower? How are they now used for evolution?

We must try this when we return!

Seeing the astonished expression of the people below, Bai Qi continued his actions, applying the same method to the remaining three skeleton soldiers. Accompanied by three flashes of the evolution light, three skeletons with distinct auras appeared before everyone.

“Fire Claw, Hidden Sting, Poison Breath, can skeleton soldiers evolve in so many different directions?”

Seeing the four undead creatures in front of them, with properties and forms greatly different from before, the hall suddenly fell silent.

Although they only evolved into lower-order servants and their accompanying attributes were feeble, that Rune Evolution undoubtedly broke the premise that all low-order servants are useless.

These skeleton soldiers had additional attributes, as long as they were properly cultivated, another evolution was not impossible.

But the key question was, could this so-called Rune Evolution be used on higher-order undead creatures?

More broadly, could it be applied to all combat pets?

“Is there only a lower-order demonstration? If it can only be applied to the status of a servant, it doesn’t have too much value for ordinary Beast Masters, does it?”

Finally, a Beast Master couldn’t help but ask.

“Of course, there is.”

Bai Qi and President Qin exchanged a glance, and immediately two Beast Masters from the association came on stage, each summoning their combat pets.

Both were round-bodied, but their auras were completely different.

One body was extremely cold, the guardian of the first level of the Lamentation Tower, the Ice Ghost, and the other was hidden entirely in the shadows.

[Name]: Phantom

[Nature]: Soul Race

[Bloodline Level]: Mid-level Elite

“This is a Phantom of the Soul, a first-stage, ninth-level creature. Following the regular evolution path, Phantoms can evolve into Shadow Warriors of the Shadow Department.”

Bai Qi pointed at the Phantom and then looked at the Ice Ghost, saying, “This one is the Ice Ghost from inside the Lamentation Tower in Gusu City, it has the dual properties of being undead and ice clan, high-grade elite.”

Having listened to Bai Qi’s introduction, many in the audience were puzzled, but masters of the Soul Race like Duanmeng had a vague guess.

Seeing the puzzled expressions below, Bai Qi took out a Soul Stone and Cold Spirit Iron, swiftly engraved runes on them with the Rune Engraving Knife, and then threw them both into the Phantom’s body.

Although the Soul Race doesn’t have a physical form, that doesn’t mean they can’t come in contact with physical objects. These two items stayed inside the Phantom’s body after being absorbed. The runes on the two materials also slowly began to shine.

Finally, the Light of Evolution appeared once again. The originally gloomy Phantom slowly moved towards the Ice Ghost, and when the Light of Evolution disappeared, the Phantom of the Shadow Department had evolved into an Ice Ghost of the Ice Clan attribute.

However, no one was paying attention to the change in the Phantom’s attribute anymore.

A mid-level Elite directly evolving into a high-grade Elite, even though it was also a single-level promotion, meant completely different things compared to when a skeleton soldier evolved into an Ice Bone.

This meant that the two main branches of the Undead Department had new paths for evolution, significantly strengthening the power of the Undead Department.

Looking at the Beast Masters and media below, who were engaged in fervent discussions, President Qin’s face broke into a broad smile. He leaned over to Bai Qi and whispered, “Good lad, I was worried you would mess it up, but you really did it.”

“Well, I didn’t expect it to succeed either. The success rate was less than ten percent when we experimented yesterday. We were lucky today.”

President Qin: “…”

The experiment with the Soul Race was actually a spur of the moment idea for Bai Qi. From seeing the Slime Monster swallow the Blast Power and evolve the Blazing Resistance, Bai Qi thought of a way to help the Soul Race overcome Runes.

If we can’t engrave Runes directly onto the Soul Race, then we can engrave the needed runes onto the materials for evolution in advance and then have the Soul Race absorb them.

When Bai Qi shared his idea with President Qin, he too was somewhat skeptical. But with the notion of giving it a try, President Qin managed to bring a few Soul Race creatures for Bai Qi to experiment.

Fortunately, Bai Qi’s whimsical idea really worked. However, the chances of success were quite low, and the strength achieved was also somewhat lacking.

According to Bai Qi’s estimation, to improve the quality and success rate of evolution, besides enhancing the completion of runes, the environment might also have an impact.

Compared to that, Evolution Egg was more reliable, and other than the risk of getting wrung dry by people, it had no other requirements.

Most importantly, situations like failed evolution or incomplete evolution wouldn’t happen with it.

However, Bai Qi was too lazy to bother about this now. His task was accomplished after all, as the evolution had been successful.

“President Qin, I have a question. Is it appropriate to ask?”

As the group pondered over the value represented by the Ghost’s evolution into Ice Ghost, Duanmeng suddenly thought of something and asked loudly.

“Of course, you can ask.”

Upon hearing Duanmeng’s question, President Qin immediately showed a knowing smile on his face, and he even laughed out loud after hearing the question Duanmeng raised.

“A few days ago, a new evolution form of the Ice Shadow Swordsman, the Wilting Dragon Lord, was introduced in Gusu City. Is it also evolved by this, um, Rune Evolution?”

With Duanmeng’s words, the room fell silent immediately.

Wilting Dragon Lord, a Mid-Level Lord with ice, shadow, and dragon attributes.

While it wasn’t unusual to see creatures with dual attributes, the presence of three attribute types was different, especially since one of them was the dragon attribute.

They hadn’t put much thought into this initially, but with each new evolution they saw, they couldn’t help but speculate.

“Yes, the Wilting Dragon Lord was indeed evolutionized by utilizing rune evolution, and its Beast Master is this young man in front of you, Bai Qi.”

Upon hearing President Qin’s words, all eyes in the room instantly focused on Bai Qi. Lu Yuan and the others outside the venue opened their mouths wide in shock, unable to calm their excited hearts for a long time.

Did his skeleton pet evolve again?

Hearing President Qin’s introduction, Bai Qi timely summoned Alpha. It was only when a faint dragon’s aura rolled over the room that everyone came back to their senses.

It really has the dragon attribute!

“This is my main pet, the Wilting Dragon Lord. Prior to its evolution, it was an Ice Shadow Swordsman at the High-Grade Elite level. It too was evolved using runes.”

Bai Qi pointed at Alpha and said, “However, the materials and runes I used are a bit special, so they may not be replicable.”

Bai Qi didn’t state things too absolutely. After all, it’s one thing to talk about mythical materials, but as far as he knew, he was the only one with an Evolution Egg. If some rich and ostentatious person tried to use mythical materials for evolution and failed, he might end up being chased by the whole Federation.

“Not replicable?”

Hearing Bai Qi’s words, some Beast Masters silently extinguished the ideas in their hearts.

“So, is it uncertain about the evolution from Elite to Lord level?”

Duanmeng frowned and continued to question.

President Qin nodded and said, “Due to time constraints, Bai Qi hasn’t had time to conduct more in-depth research. However, the Beast Master Association of Gusu City has decided, in conjunction with the Star Mechanics Academy, to establish a Rune Evolution research group. Both the Undead Department and the Rune Department will participate, with Celestial Brilliance and Professor Dong from the Rune Department being among the members.”

“As for the group leader, it will be Bai Qi, the discoverer of this method of evolution.”

To let a student be the group leader and a Titled Legendary a member?

Hearing President Qin’s announcement, the people in front of the screens didn’t know why, but they couldn’t be surprised anymore.

It wasn’t because it was not shocking enough, but they had become numb.

Bai Qi was challenging the heavens…

Finally, amidst the stunned gazes of countless people, the opening ceremony of the Undead Department officially ended, but there were still many people left in the lecture hall.

They all wanted to ask about the specifics of Rune Evolution. Of course, many of them also wanted to join the Rune Evolution research group.

It did seem somewhat demeaning to let a newly minted professional Beast Master join the team, but since the Titled Legendary didn’t mind, they didn’t have the grounds to be pretentious.

Most importantly, if this so-called Rune Evolution really popularized, they could greatly improve their pets, regardless of whether their names lasted forever or not.

However, it was clear that President Qin didn’t intend to waste time chatting with them and teleported away with Bai Qi right after the ceremony ended.

As for Heguang, despite his status as dean, he hadn’t yet left, but dare you go ask him?

“Phew, things like this really aren’t meant for humans. President, if there’s something like this next time, I won’t participate.”

Bai Qi undid his formal attire and complained to President Qin. “Didn’t you say few people would come? I think the number of Sunrise Level Masters in the lecture hall was close to a hundred, correct?”

“That’s not up to me. If you don’t want to do this again, cause less trouble.”

President Qin rolled his eyes, seemingly having foreseen Bai Qi causing trouble again.

“Isn’t it President you who let me make trouble…”

Mumbling quietly, Bai Qi saw President Qin suddenly threw something over and hastily prepared to dodge.

“Your patent certificate, Federation-certified, core patent. As long as you don’t mess up too badly, you shouldn’t have to worry about retirement.”

Hearing President Qin’s words, Bai Qi’s face changed. He clumsily collected the certificate, confirmed it wasn’t damaged, and then put it away.

A core patent, another golden goose!
