Chapter 746: Chapter 747 Cotton Evolution_1

"But there’s a certain chance of failure in doing so, is it worth it?"

Feng Yuan looked at Cotton in Dou Yanlan’s arms with puzzlement. Surpassing evolution wouldn’t be associated with an opportunity for significant potential enhancement if it weren’t difficult. However, because Cotton had already been preparing for evolution and had even planned to use surpassing evolution, it had accumulated a considerable amount of energy, so employing this mixed evolution method didn’t require much additional preparation.

After all, surpassing evolution itself demands that a Spirit Beast accumulates a vast amount of evolutionary energy within its body and then uses that energy to break through the potential limits of their current form. Regarding this, Dou Yanlan calmly said,

"It’s Cotton’s choice, there’s nothing to consider about worth once the decision is made."

"That’s true, good luck~"

Feng Yuan smiled and gently stroked Cotton’s head. The creature evaded Feng Yuan’s hand unhappily and glanced at Dou Yanlan before Feng Yuan asked,

"Do you need any help with it?"

"No need, I am about to take it for evolution preparation, and you can’t leave right now, can you?"

Dou Yanlan indicated with her eyes towards Xiao Ji, who was training at one side. If Feng Yuan followed her, Xiao Ji might have a meltdown and as for taking Xiao Ji along? Feng Yuan obviously wouldn’t do so.

"Strange, does Yanlan have something to do today?"

Scratching his head, Qi Chen patted Feng Yuan on the shoulder with some confusion,

"You’re still here?"

Looking at Qi Chen, Feng Yuan pointed at Xiao Ji and said,

"I’m waiting for it."

"It’s not tired yet?"

Qi Chen was surprised. Unlike Xiao Ji, which was still training and practicing its special moves, Ah Mu was already very exhausted. Because Drudgeon would teach them a new special move in a few days, they couldn’t practice as leisurely as before.

To master a special move quickly, intense training was unavoidable, but he hadn’t expected Xiao Ji to have more stamina than Ah Mu, who leaned more towards a wood-based defensive support role.

"Just pushing itself hard, let’s go."

Feng Yuan said as he walked over, stopped Xiao Ji, rubbed its head vigorously, and brought it over. Glancing at the somewhat exhausted Ah Mu behind Qi Chen, Feng Yuan said,

"You shouldn’t do this, excessive fatigue will affect later training."

"No choice, the difficulty of mastering the special moves Drudgeon teaches is quite high for Ah Mu. To quickly master it in a short time, this is the only way."

"By the way, have you seen Yanlan?"

"You mean Dou Yanlan?"

Feng Yuan said as he scanned Qi Chen,

"Cotton is evolving. She should be busy with the evolution now. I don’t know if it’s successful yet."

"Cotton is evolving?! Why didn’t she tell me?"

"What’s the use of telling you? What can you help her with? Besides, she even refused my help."

Feng Yuan rolled his eyes as he said exasperatedly; he could at least be of some help. What would Qi Chen do if he went? Cheer from the sidelines?

Scratching his head, Qi Chen chuckled. He realized that he was of no help to Dou Yanlan, which was probably why she hadn’t called him.

"Do you know where she is?"

Hearing Qi Chen’s question, Feng Yuan looked at him strangely and said,

"Do you think I would know?"

"Why don’t you call her?"

"Let’s get something to eat first."

As something occurred to Qi Chen, he spoke up, unaware of the special evolution that Cotton was about to undertake and hence was not very worried, for such low-level ordinary evolution nearly had no chance of failure.

"You mean the evolution that Cotton is preparing for involves some aspect of surpassing evolution?!"

"Is that even possible?!"

Qi Chen said in surprise, this was news to him. Dou Yanlan wouldn’t tell him either. Nodding, Feng Yuan replied,

"Pretty much, she said it was Cotton’s own request, so there was no other way."

"Cotton’s own request..."

Qi Chen glanced at Ah Mu, who looked back at him puzzled, not quite understanding what he wanted to say. Feng Yuan, distractedly eating, said,

"Probably worried about not being strong enough, so seizing the opportunity to enhance his potential, just don’t know if the evolution was successful or not. After all, anything to do with surpassing evolution always brings a dramatic increase in difficulty, if cough cough!"

Feng Yuan, coughing, shooed away Qi Chen’s hand that was grabbing at him, and after a moment to recover, he looked at Qi Chen with no words and said,

"What are you doing?"

"I..."

Qi Chen felt a bit guilty; he had gotten too excited and acted impulsively. There was no help for it; anything concerning Dou Yanlan always prevented him from being completely calm.

"These matters of chance, you don’t have much of a method to deal with them. But evolution doesn’t usually take that long. Why not just give her a call and ask later?"

Feng Yuan said nonchalantly. What could he do now that things had come to this point? An ordinary Spirit Beast’s evolution failure leading to a decrease in potential was inevitable, and repeatedly failing could even lead to weakness or death.

Unless you rewrite these world rules completely, it’s impossible to avoid them, and rewriting the rules? Feng Yuan could imagine the bizarre tactics that would emerge if there were no consequences to failing in evolution.

Moreover, the world cannot indefinitely accommodate more and more powerful beings.

"It’s not in any trouble, is it?"

Qi Chen said and was about to rush into the dormitory, fortunately caught in time by Feng Yuan, who, holding his forehead, said somewhat helplessly,

"What do you think you’re doing? I didn’t sneak you in here to create a big scandal."

Dou Yanlan, opening the door, looked at Qi Chen with a bit of amusement and said,

"They went out to buy some things, Cotton is resting. You’d better hurry up, otherwise it’ll be hard to explain when they come back."

It didn’t surprise Dou Yanlan that they could sneak into the female dormitory. Although the school forbade boys from entering, they had their ways. At least she knew of one cross-dressing expert who managed to infiltrate every weekend. As for Feng Yuan and Qi Chen?

For Agunas, dealing with the dorm supervisor lady and the surveillance was simply too easy. Qi Chen, with a sheepish grin, said,

"Well, I was just..."

"Alright, come on in. Feng Yuan, it’s good you’re here. Help check if Cotton has any issues."

Although from her own observation, the already successfully evolved Cotton seemed to have no problems, Dou Yanlan was just a high school senior, and Feng Yuan, with his abilities, would surely know better. If only Orlina, the school medic, hadn’t finished her shift, Dou Yanlan would have preferred to take Cotton there for a check-up.

"It evolved successfully?"

"Yes, but it seems very tired, continuously resting."

Dou Yanlan said, a touch of worry in her voice. Although it was common for a creature to fall into a deep sleep after a transcending evolution, she couldn’t help but be concerned. Feng Yuan stepped forward to check on Cotton, who was resting on the bed. Qi Chen, entering the female dormitory for the first time, blushed, not knowing where to fix his gaze.

"There are no problems, although it was a bit reckless. There are no hidden injuries or anything. Compared to a normal evolution, the potential has increased by about twenty percent. Oh, right!"

Feng Yuan, as if remembering something, looked at Dou Yanlan and asked,

"What type of special move do you plan to have it specialize in?"

"Why?"

Dou Yanlan looked at Feng Yuan quizzically. Pulling out a pitch-black stone, Feng Yuan said,

"If you’re planning on specializing in Death Series abilities, I have a Netherworld Origin Stone here that could enhance its power."

"This..."

"Is there a problem?"

Qi Chen asked Feng Yuan, puzzled. He didn’t think Feng Yuan was reluctant to part with the item; at least, he had never seen Feng Yuan be unwilling to give up anything. Holding the Netherworld Origin Stone, Feng Yuan explained,

"The Death Series powers conflict with other powers. If you strengthen the Death Series power, the other powers will be weakened. Although Cotton itself only has the Psychokinesis Series attribute, it has access to both Death and Telekinesis Series’ powers."

"Don’t rush this. It’s best to consult with it first."

Feng Yuan put away the Netherworld Origin Stone and tapped Xiao Ji’s head as he said,

"That thing’s useless to you, don’t even think about it."

Xiao Ji glared at Feng Yuan, clearly unhappy because Feng Yuan’s items were never useful to it. Thinking about it, Xiao Ji’s face filled with grievance, and it looked like it was about to cry. Feng Yuan, at a loss for words, hugged Xiao Ji saying,

"You chose this yourself, didn’t you? Besides, would that thing even be useful for you?"

Xiao Ji’s Crimson Judgement could already directly connect to the depths of the Netherworld, so a Netherworld Origin Stone being useful to it would be odd indeed. Looking at Feng Yuan grievously, Xiao Ji rubbed its head against him, feeling unhappy.
