Beasts: Only I Can See the Hidden Evolution Path

A week later.

Xiao Xingyu completed his final medical examination and was smoothly discharged from the hospital.

At the family apartment, Xiao Ruoxue was busy in the kitchen, preparing her brother's favorite dishes.

On the living room sofa, Ye Shimeng tightly hugged Xiao Xingyu, speaking in a sweet and soft voice.

"Brother, I was so scared the day something happened to you."

"I wanted to visit you in the hospital, but Sister Ruoxue didn't agree, so I could only worry at home alone..."

Ye Shimeng had a special status, so to avoid drawing attention, she had to stay in the family apartment alone for a week.

Today, with Xiao Xingyu’s discharge, the siblings were finally reunited.

Xiao Xingyu looked at Ye Shimeng with a doting expression, gently stroking her twin ponytails.

"Alright, silly girl, stop crying, I'm not dead."

Ye Shimeng nestled in Xiao Xingyu's embrace, her watery eyes full of concern.

"Brother, your wounds must hurt a lot."

"I'm already healed, don't worry."

That night in the cave, after Xiao Xingyu fell asleep, Daeluo kissed his wounds multiple times.

The saliva of the Nine-Tailed Fox clan can heal any open wound.

With a week of hospitalization and receiving the best care and treatment, Xiao Xingyu's injuries were fully healed.

Even now, he could carry twenty pounds of cabbage up eighteen flights of stairs without panting.

"Dinner is ready!"

On the dining table, there were four dishes and a soup, all looking and smelling delicious.

Xiao Xingyu ate voraciously, wolfing down the food.

"Xiaoyu, eat slowly~"

"Sister, I've been drinking porridge in the hospital for a week, bland and tasteless."

"Now I finally get to eat braised pork ribs, I've been craving them!"

Seeing her brother’s good appetite, Xiao Ruoxue smiled with relief.

A good appetite means good health, and clearly, Xiao Xingyu had returned to his usual vibrant self.

Late at night.

Xiao Xingyu decided not to return to the dormitory at Qinglong Academy but chose to sleep in the family apartment for a night and go to school the next day.

In the bedroom, Xiao Xingyu was on a video call with his roommates.

"Old Wu, did you turn on the big face filter?"

"Brother Yu, I didn't~"

"Then why is your face so big? It's almost bursting the screen!"

Xiao Xingyu then heard the laughter of Song Hu and Chen Yifu.

Wu Shengyou looked aggrieved: "What are you laughing at? So what if I'm fat? I didn't eat your rice!"

Song Hu pushed Wu Shengyou aside and asked with concern, "Brother Yu, how's your recovery?"

"Rest assured, I'm healed, returning to Qinglong Academy tomorrow."

"Oh, by the way, is there any news from the academy while I was hospitalized this week?"

Xiao Xingyu, hospitalized for a week, was unaware of the outside happenings.

The three roommates began to speak one after another.

"Brother Yu, regarding the incident with the lava lion-tiger beast at Yinnan Mountain, Dean Su is still investigating, no results yet."

"The trial results have been announced, Brother Yu you're first, Murong Xinxin is second, Murong Yangshuo is third..."

"Your and the Murong siblings' trial scores are both S+!"

"The freshman ranking competition has been postponed, it was supposed to be held a few days ago, now postponed to this weekend."

The freshman ranking competition is the most important event for each new batch at Qinglong Academy.

The higher the ranking, the more resources and special teaching from mentors a student can receive.

In contrast, students with lower rankings would simply pass their time at the academy, hoping to get a graduation certificate after three years.

At this point, the three roommates started flattering Xiao Xingyu.

"Brother Yu, you're the best, your trial results are stronger than the Murong siblings!"

"The three of us, together, only hunted 30 magical beasts in this trial."

"Brother Yu, on your own, hunted 110 magical beasts and escaped from the lava lion-tiger beast."

"Brother Yu is awesome, Brother Yu is forever a god!"

Xiao Xingyu sneered: "Heh, flattering me, do you want something from me?"

Wu Shengyou swallowed his saliva.

"Brother Yu, actually, we want to eat your sister's osmanthus cake..."

"I knew you guys were all born gluttons!"

Once, Xiao Xingyu brought the osmanthus cake made by Xiao Ruoxue back to the dormitory.

The three roommates got to taste it, and they couldn't resist wanting more.

"Thank you, Brother Yu!"

"Finally, we can eat Xiao's osmanthus cake again, my mouth is watering!"

"Sister Xiao's osmanthus cake, I call it the pinnacle of desserts!"

After chatting and bragging with his roommates a bit more, Xiao Xingyu hung up the video call.

It was late at night, and the moonlight outside was eerily quiet.

Xiao Ruoxue and Ye Shimeng were sleeping in the next room.

In Xiao Xingyu's room, he was alone.

"The Wang father and son, I won't let them go, I must find a chance to eliminate these two threats."

Xiao Xingyu started plotting against Wang Dongsheng and Wang Yan.

After all, this father and son duo almost caused Xiao Xingyu to die at the edge of a cliff. If they weren't killed, they would remain a constant threat.

Now the question arises.

How to kill?

When to kill?

Who to kill first?

Kill personally or use someone else to do it?

Xiao Xingyu pondered for a moment, then murmured softly, "My strongest trump card right now is the Beast Emperor Form: Nine-Tailed Demon Fox."

"But Lulu is currently injured, and the dragon power within her hasn't been cleared."

"Moreover, my spiritual power is too low to allow Lulu to unleash her combat skills in a fight."

An idea struck Xiao Xingyu.

"Got it!"

When there's a problem, consult the system.

Xiao Xingyu used his mind to open the system shop, and a light-screen projection resembling a shopping software appeared before him.

"Sure enough, there’s a treasure that can boost spiritual power in a short time!"

In the system shop, there was an item that captivated Xiao Xingyu at first glance.

**[Dragon Spirit Pill]**

This is a golden pill, one centimeter in diameter.

After consuming the Dragon Spirit Pill, a Beast Master can instantly boost their spiritual power tenfold for five minutes.

Xiao Xingyu's current spiritual power value is 1200+.

Ten times that is 12000+.

Normally, one needs to reach the level of a five-star Beast Master for their spiritual power to exceed ten thousand.

"12000+ spiritual power, although still not enough to unleash Lulu's true strength."

"But if all spiritual power is consumed at once, it should be enough for Lulu to release a single combat skill."

"With Lulu's bloodline quality and level strength, one move is enough to kill..."

Wang Yan's father, Wang Dongsheng, is a six-star Beast Master.

Xiao Xingyu's killing intent arose, and a sinister and resolute smile appeared at the corner of his lips.

Even a six-star Beast Master cannot withstand the combat skills of a Nine-Tailed Demon Fox!

Of course, any medicine that temporarily boosts strength has side effects.

The Dragon Spirit Pill is no exception.

After the five-minute effect of the Dragon Spirit Pill wears off, Xiao Xingyu would suffer backlash, vomiting blood, feeling weak in his limbs, and falling into a weakened state, requiring three days of rest.

In other words, consuming the Dragon Spirit Pill carries significant risks.

If he fails to kill the enemy after taking it, the appearance of side effects would allow the enemy to easily counterattack and kill him.

But Xiao Xingyu is confident and is determined not to give the enemy a chance to retaliate.

"Price: 2500 vouchers?"

"Not enough money~"

Xiao Xingyu looked troubled.

Currently, Xiao Xingyu's account balance is only 1300 vouchers.

The Dragon Spirit Pill costs 2500 vouchers.

Just as Xiao Xingyu was at a loss, the system's notification sound chimed.

"First purchase discount coupon issued!"

"Discount: 50% off!"

A 50% off coupon appeared in Xiao Xingyu's account.

In the product list, a line appeared below the Dragon Spirit Pill:

Discounted price: 1250 vouchers.

Since this was Xiao Xingyu's first purchase at the system shop, the system issued a 50% off coupon.

"This coupon came just in time!"

Without hesitation, Xiao Xingyu clicked to purchase.

"Ding~"

"Congratulations to the host!"

"You used a 50% off coupon and spent 1250 vouchers."

"Successfully purchased [Dragon Spirit Pill]!"

"The item has been sent to the warehouse, please check."
