C11 Evolutionary Path

"Wow... Mr. Zhou is so impressive!"

Even though they had witnessed it numerous times, they couldn't help but marvel each time.

This was the prowess of a Fighter. The grey hunting dog, known as the Gale Dog, was renowned for its incredible speed and keen sense of smell.

Thanks to the Gale Dog's exceptional olfactory abilities and swiftness, it had caught quite a few villains attempting to cause trouble at the orphanage over the years, making it a star Battle Companion.

As soon as the Gale Dog was let loose, it bounded toward Feng Yixiu, drooling.

"Little... Little Ash, settle down... please!" Feng Yixiu pleaded, retreating to a corner in terror.

Without a second thought, Little Ash toppled Feng Yixiu and began to frantically lick his face.

But in that moment, a stream of data flashed through Feng Yixiu's mind:

[Battle Companion Name]: Gale Dog

[Battle Companion Owner]: Zhou Kangmin

[Battle Companion Level]: Third Level Fourth Rank

[Battle Companion Level]: Growth Period

[Battle Companion Attribute]: Wind

[Battle Skills]: Thousand-Mile Tracking, Biting, Gale Slash

[Requirements for Advancement to Mature Period]: 1. Chasing Moon Dog: Lord-level dark magic beast nucleus, one kilogram of hundred-year Windy Wood, ten stalks of Yin Jade Grass (Usage Steps: …)

2. Gale Wolf: Advanced wind magic beast nucleus, one hundred-year-old Wind Flower, ten stalks of ten-year Windy Grass (Usage Steps: …)

"..."

Feng Yixiu was momentarily taken aback, too stunned to fend off Ash's affectionate assault.

He quickly grasped that this was clearly an ability granted by the Godly Pet Evolution System, allowing him to effortlessly discern a Battle Companion's attributes.

Crucially, he could now clearly identify all the evolutionary paths and even the methods of evolution!

Currently, the evolutionary paths for Battle Companions were largely uncharted territory.

People had only managed to determine the methods of evolution through trial and error, building upon the knowledge of those who came before them, and the potential for further evolution remained vast and largely untapped.

The evolutionary paths and methods documented to date are but a drop in the ocean, with countless others yet to be discovered. However, Feng Yixiu possesses the extraordinary ability to discern all the evolutionary paths and methods for Battle Companions—a truly heaven-defying talent!

"Is this the power of the Godly Pet Evolution System? It's quite astonishing!" Feng Yixiu's lips curled into a smile as he silently celebrated his good fortune.

"Feng, what's gotten into you today? Ash is licking you and you're not even resisting. That's not like you at all! Aren't you supposed to jump up and have a playful tussle with Ash?" Shen Ruyu noticed Feng Yixiu's unusual behavior, promptly pulled Ash aside, and freed Feng Yixiu.

Feng Yixiu quickly stood up, grabbed a few tissues to wipe the drool off his face, and chuckled, "I'm just worried I won't get to see Ash much in the future, so I thought I'd let him have his fill of licks."

"Come here, Ash. From now on, when I'm not here, you'll be in charge of protecting the kids at the orphanage. Don't let me down, okay?" Feng Yixiu called out to Ash with a grin.

"Wuwu..." Ash seemed to understand Feng Yixiu's words, whimpering softly and wagging its tail as it approached him.

"My Gale Dog really seems to have grown attached to you," Zhou Kangming remarked solemnly.

"That's for sure! We've been together for three years," Feng Yixiu responded, affectionately stroking the Gale Dog's back. Then, somewhat absentmindedly, he inquired, "Mr. Zhou, have you ever considered evolving your Gale Dog into a Moon Chasing Dog?"

"Moon Chasing Dog? What's that? Can't this Gale Dog only evolve into a Gale Wolf or a Bloodhound?" Zhou Kangming asked, clearly confused.

"Ah?" Feng Yixiu paused, scratching his head before asking again, "Maybe I got it wrong. But haven't you thought about evolving Ash into a Gale Wolf?"

"Ah... I'm just an old man, practically buried in the dust, and I haven't the heart to push this little fellow to evolve into the mature period as a Battle Companion!" Mr. Zhou sighed in resignation before continuing, "Besides, evolving a Gale Dog isn't only demanding for the Fighter, but it also requires extremely precious evolution materials, which an old man like me can't afford!"

"Oh... I see..." Feng Yixiu nodded in understanding.

Initially, he had hoped to assist Mr. Zhou in evolving Ash before his departure, but it now appeared that he had been too naive. Even with knowledge of the most optimal evolutionary path and techniques, it would be futile without the necessary evolution materials.
