Beast Tamer: Awakening a Mythical Talent at the Beginning - Chapter 26

Chapter 26 The Unlucky Qiao Gubai, the White-Scaled Fish Is Promoted to the Eighth Level!

The power of the Mythical Talent [Eye of Revelation] was truly astonishing. Even the evolutionary chains of spirit beasts couldn’t escape Bai Zian’s gaze.

When Bai Zian first researched the evolution chain of the White-scaled Fish, he instantly obtained all its possible evolutionary paths.

In other words, no spirit beast’s evolution chain held any secrets before Bai Zian.

This was the terrifying aspect of his Mythical Talent [Eye of Revelation].

To be honest, if Bai Zian casually revealed just a few evolution chains, he could probably trade them for unimaginable wealth.

This was the greatest reward Bai Zian had gained since obtaining this mythical talent.

Of course, Bai Zian would never do such a thing. Having immense wealth without the strength to protect it would be a fatal mistake.

If he released just a few evolution chains in exchange for wealth, countless powers would immediately target him, bringing endless trouble to him and his family.

Why would Bai Zian put himself in such danger?

Moreover, Bai Zian wasn’t an ordinary person.

As a third-generation member of the Bai family, he had access to the family’s resources, which were more than sufficient for him to use for some time. There was no reason for Bai Zian to invite unnecessary trouble.

This was his way of thinking.

As for how to persuade Bai Jingchong, that was even simpler. If Bai Jingchong asked, he would just attribute everything to his Mutated Talent [Super Intuition]. After all, as someone who “possessed” the Mutated Talent [Super Intuition], having some special premonitions was entirely normal, right?

“Is that so? Very well, the family will prepare the evolution resources you need in advance,” Bai Jingchong said.

“But this is a matter of great importance, and we must proceed cautiously. I hope you will take more time to consider and avoid rushing into evolution.”

As expected, Bai Jingchong’s attitude began to change, becoming hesitant rather than firmly opposed like before.

In response, Bai Zian nodded repeatedly, assuring that he would carefully consider it. Of course, this was merely to placate Bai Jingchong.

Bai Zian had long decided on the White-scaled Fish’s evolution chain. His goal was to have it undergo nine evolutions, transforming from a fish into a Kunpeng.

That was his pursuit, and nothing more needed to be said.

A while later, after finishing the conversation, Bai Zian summoned Bai Zhi and handed her the phone snail.

“Young Master Zian, the information you requested about that female student has been collected,” Bai Zhi quickly reported.

After a week of effort, the Protection Team had finally gathered all the details on Qiao Gubai.

“Hand it over. Let me take a look,” Bai Zian said, nodding slightly. He took the documents from Bai Zhi and began reviewing the contents.

“As expected, her talent didn’t bring her any luck but rather a series of misfortunes,” Bai Zian sighed after glancing at the information.

Qiao Gubai’s life was tragic. Both her parents were dead, she had no relatives, and she was burdened with debt—all because of her talent. Her talent, related to luck, would absorb the fortune of those around her and gather it to herself, leading to misfortune for anyone close to her.

This talent was undeniably shocking.

However, Qiao Gubai remained remarkably strong. Despite facing so many hardships, she persisted, silently taking on her parents’ debts.

Her resilience was admirable, and Bai Zian believed that if he recruited her, he wouldn’t have to worry about her betrayal.

However, Bai Zian had already predicted this outcome. What concerned him more were two other things: first, whether Qiao Gubai’s background was clean, and second, why her S-Class Talent hadn’t been reported to Bailin City.

He quickly found the answers.

Regarding her background, there were no issues. Her family had lived in Mining Rock City for generations with no suspicious records.

As for the talent reporting issue, after analyzing the information and using his [Eye of Revelation] to deduce more details, Bai Zian arrived at the truth.

“On the day of her awakening, Qiao Gubai was the last student to have her talent appraised, and after her assessment, the machine malfunctioned…”

“Interesting. It seems her talent can even influence objects,” Bai Zian murmured thoughtfully.

The appraisal machine could only identify talents below S-Class, so it couldn’t determine her true ability.

Moreover, her talent had interfered with the assessment, resulting in her being misclassified as having an F-Class Talent. This was the true story.

Bai Zian couldn’t help but feel amused. He hadn’t expected someone else to experience the same misclassification he had.

Her talent’s effects were indeed extraordinary.

After fully understanding the situation, Bai Zian made a decision.

“Bai Zhi, I need you to do something for me,” Bai Zian said, summoning the ice-cold Bai Zhi. “Send someone to Mining Rock City, solve Qiao Gubai’s problems, and transfer her to Bai Lin City…”

“Understood, Young Master Zian,” Bai Zhi replied with a respectful bow before disappearing to carry out his orders.

With that, the matter was settled. Bai Zian no longer needed to be involved, as his subordinates would handle the rest.

With this taken care of, he shifted his focus back to training the White-scaled Fish.

Time passed quickly.

Soon, Bai Zian found himself halfway up Candlefire Mountain, the central area of the region.

Here, Black Iron-level Candlefire Spiders had become quite common, yet Bai Zian showed no fear. After all, the White-scaled Fish had made significant progress over the past week.

[Species]: White-scaled Fish (Water Element)

[Level]: Eighth Tier (Low Tier)

[Talent]: Flow Control Speed (S), Yinming Power (S), Water Splitting Strike (A)

[Potential]: Intermediate King-level

[Skills]: Water Speed Burst (Purple, Novice), Yin Water Corrosion (Purple, Novice), Water Splitting Strike (Blue, Minor), Water Cannon Impact (Green, Minor), Foam Layer (Green, Major)

Using the [Eye of Revelation], Bai Zian carefully examined the current state of the White-scaled Fish.
