Beasts: Only I Can See the Hidden Evolution Path

"Master, Master, don't sleep~"

"Xiao Xingyu, wake up for me!"

Xiao Xingyu closed his eyes and collapsed into Dai Lu's arms.

Whether intentional or not, his head landed perfectly in the deep, abundant embrace of Dai Lu's chest.

Looking at Xiao Xingyu sleeping soundly in her arms, Dai Lu showed a face of helplessness.

"Ah, the youth. They can sleep anytime, anywhere."

"You fell asleep and left this mess for me to clean up..."

The entire mountaintop was ablaze with purple foxfire.

The recent earth-shaking battle had halved the mountain's altitude.

The side effects of the Dragon Spirit Pill were severe for Xiao Xingyu, leaving him drenched in cold sweat and unconscious.

Dai Lu was at a loss, unsure of what to do.

Just then, footsteps approached from behind Dai Lu.

"What a terrifying presence!"

Despite being a Beast Emperor, Dai Lu had no time to react before a jade hand gripped her throat!

With a bang, Dai Lu was slammed against a large tree.

After seeing stars, Dai Lu focused her eyes and saw a silver-haired woman before her.

This woman, Dai Lu recognized, was Xiao Xingyu's sister, Xiao Ruoxue.

"Little fox, you were once a Beast Emperor demon beast, and yet you signed a blood contract with my brother."

"Dragon Power?!"

Dai Lu's heart raced as she sensed an endless ocean of Dragon Power emanating from Xiao Ruoxue!

"You must not be Xiao Xingyu's biological sister. The Dragon Power within you... who exactly are you..."

"Shh~"

Xiao Ruoxue released Dai Lu's neck and gestured for silence.

Before Xiao Ruoxue, Dai Lu dared not defy and behaved cautiously.

"You don't need to know about my identity. For now, I'm just Xiaoyu's sister."

Dai Lu was certain that this silver-haired beauty was from the purebred dragon clan and of very high rank!

Xiao Ruoxue glanced at the unconscious Xiao Xingyu and transferred a surge of Dragon Power into him.

Dai Lu asked with slight concern, "How is he?"

"He likely took a drug that temporarily boosts spiritual power, suffering from its backlash as a side effect."

"But don't worry, your master is fine. He just needs three days of rest."

Dai Lu breathed a sigh of relief, "That's good~"

Having signed the blood contract, Dai Lu and Xiao Xingyu were now inseparable.

If Xiao Xingyu died, Dai Lu would also turn to dust and vanish.

The relationship between a beast and a beast master is one of shared prosperity and shared ruin.

Xiao Ruoxue stood and walked to the edge of the cliff, her previously clear eyes transforming into vertical pupils.

Vertical pupils are a symbol of the purebred dragon clan.

Xiao Ruoxue gently parted her lips, seemingly chanting a melody.

The colorless, shapeless Dragon Power spread with the sound waves, enveloping the entire mountain.

In no time at all.

The purple foxfire on the mountain was extinguished, and the collapsed mountaintop was restored to its original state.

Broken trees, withered flowers, charred land...

All traces of the battle vanished without a trace.

In Dai Lu's eyes, the mountain returned to its former tranquility, as if nothing had happened.

"This is... the Dragon's Whisper!"

Dragon's Whisper, a unique battle skill of the purebred dragon clan, can restore everything in the world through the chanting of a special melody.

Xiao Ruoxue stopped chanting.

"All traces of the battle, including Wang Dongsheng's corpse and the natural scent of your Nine-Tailed Fox tribe, have been erased by me."

"Apart from you, me, and Xiaoyu, no one will know what happened tonight."

Dai Lu nodded, grateful for the Dragon's Whisper, which saved Xiao Xingyu and her from a lot of trouble.

Tomorrow's news would only report the mysterious disappearance of the Vice Dean of Qinglong Academy, having nothing to do with Xiao Xingyu.

At this moment, Dai Lu noticed a faint platinum dragon scale on Xiao Ruoxue's forehead!

"As far as I know, in the purebred dragon clan, only one dragon's scales are platinum."

"Chaos..."

Xiao Ruoxue's face turned cold.

Under Xiao Ruoxue's deadly gaze, Dai Lu wisely shut her mouth, not daring to utter the dragon's name.

"Little fox, you are the most wanted criminal in Longguo."

"I can disregard your past, but since you've signed a blood contract with my brother, don't have any second thoughts."

"Support my brother well in the future, and I won't do anything to you."

Xiao Ruoxue's tone shifted, her voice turning even colder.

"But if you have a change of heart and harm my brother, I will cut off your nine tails!"

Dai Lu nodded repeatedly.

"I understand."

Xiao Ruoxue reminded, "By the way, my brother doesn't know my true identity yet, so don't babble nonsense when he wakes up."

"Don't worry, I'm very discreet."

"Is that so? Aren't you Nine-Tailed Foxes best known for lying and deceiving?"

"Miss Xiao, that's just a stereotype. Actually, we're very loyal~"

In front of Xiao Ruoxue, Dai Lu shed her usual queenly demeanor and acted like an obedient pet.

The sheer bloodline suppression!

In the face of such a disparity in bloodlines, even fierce beasts become cute pets.

At this moment, Dai Lu looked rather adorable.

"Ouch, it hurts~"

As soon as Xiao Xingyu regained consciousness, a sharp pain coursed through his body.

He found himself in a hospital room.

Glancing at the calendar on the wall, he exclaimed, "Oh my, I've been asleep for three days?"

It had been exactly three days since Xiao Xingyu fainted into Dai Lu's arms.

During those three days, Xiao Xingyu missed the opportunity to compete for the top spot in the freshman ranking competition.

The rankings for the freshman competition had already been announced.

Because Xiao Xingyu was absent and considered to have voluntarily forfeited, he was ranked 8th.

The first place went to Murong Xinxin, and the second to Murong Yangshuo.

This brother and sister duo had talents comparable to Xiao Xingyu and were considered the future hope of Qinglong Academy.

Xiao Xingyu checked his phone and, sure enough, saw familiar names trending.

"Recently, the Vice Dean of Qinglong Academy mysteriously disappeared..."

No one knew that Wang Dong, a dignified six-star beast master, had died at the hands of a one-star beast master.

Because Xiao Ruoxue had cleaned up the battlefield thoroughly, leaving no traces, no one would link the incident to Xiao Xingyu.

"Why am I in the hospital?"

"Must have been Lulu who brought me here..."

"Where's my sister?!"

Xiao Xingyu looked anxious as footsteps approached from the hallway.

Xiao Ruoxue entered the room.

"Xiaoyu, you're awake!"

"Sis!"

Ignoring the pain, Xiao Xingyu jumped out of bed and hugged Xiao Ruoxue tightly.

"Sis! You're okay, that's great!"

Xiao Ruoxue gently patted Xiao Xingyu's head, showing a loving, maternal smile.

"Silly brother, of course, I'm fine."

"That night..."

Xiao Xingyu asked tentatively.

"On the mountaintop, when I regained consciousness, I found you unconscious next to me."

"Although I didn't know what happened, seeing you drenched in cold sweat, I quickly carried you down the mountain and brought you to the hospital for a check-up."

"The doctor said your condition was due to exhaustion, and you'd be unconscious for at least three days."

"Looks like the doctor was right, you woke up just after three days."

Xiao Xingyu never doubted his sister and thought to himself.

"Lulu is reliable, didn't expose herself, cleaned up the battlefield without leaving traces, and didn't arouse my sister's suspicion..."

"I should find a chance to reward her!"

At that moment, Dai Lu was napping inside Xiao Xingyu's Beast Mark.

"Xiaoyu, what would you like to eat?"

"Braised chicken and sweet and sour ribs."

"Alright, I'll go home and cook. I'll bring it over later!"

After Xiao Ruoxue left, Xiao Xingyu was alone in the hospital room.

"The side effects of the Dragon Spirit Pill are really severe. Even after three days, my back still aches..."

"Unless absolutely necessary, I shouldn't take this kind of pill carelessly!"

The aftereffects of the Dragon Spirit Pill were causing Xiao Xingyu considerable discomfort.

But against a high-level beast master like Wang Dongsheng, only the Dragon Spirit Pill allowed Xiao Xingyu to turn the tide and achieve an over-level counter-kill!

The Bloodthirsty Eye Crossbow is one of the Nine-Tailed Fox's ultimate skills.

Just one move was enough to annihilate the Beast King-class Rock Demon Giant Bear King.

"Lulu plus the Dragon Spirit Pill is my biggest trump card for now."

"But the cost of using this trump card is too high, causing me to pass out for three days and leaving me in pain."

"Looks like improving my strength and increasing my spiritual power density is the right path!"

After a while, there was a knock on the door.

Xiao Xingyu thought it was his sister bringing delicious food, but it was Su Ruyan who walked in.

"Dean? What brings you here?"

Su Ruyan's unexpected visit surprised Xiao Xingyu.

"You were unconscious for three days. When I heard you just woke up, I came to check on you."

Su Ruyan carried some expensive health supplements and a fruit basket.

She sat by the bed, picked up a fruit knife, and started peeling an apple for Xiao Xingyu.

"Replenish some vitamins, go ahead and eat."

"Thank you, Dean!"

In the entire Qinglong Academy, only Xiao Xingyu enjoyed the privilege of being personally served by the beautiful dean.

"You missed the chance to compete for the top spot in the freshman ranking competition during your three-day coma. Do you regret it?"

"Not really..."

Xiao Xingyu didn't feel that he lost out. After defeating the Rock Demon Giant Bear King, he obtained a crystal core.

This was a Beast King-class rock attribute crystal core, which could fetch a good price in the trading market, much more rewarding than the freshman competition prize.

Su Ruyan continued.

"The freshman ranking competition is just an internal event at Qinglong Academy. Whether you win or not doesn't matter much."

"But next month's Supernova Competition, I hope you can achieve a good result and bring glory to Qinglong Academy."

The Supernova Competition is a large-scale event jointly organized by the four major beast academies: Qinglong, Baihu, Zhuque, and Xuanwu.

The participants are talented individuals from each academy, and they are all freshmen.

Each of the four academies has to send three contestants.

Su Ruyan's intention was clear: the three contestants from Qinglong Academy would be Murong Xinxin Murong Yangshuo and Xiao Xingyu.

"Xiao Xingyu, prepare well for the Supernova Competition. Don't let me down."

"Oh, and by the way, the Dragon Nation Empress will also be present to watch the competition. Showcase your talent and leave a good impression on Her Majesty."

The Dragon Nation Empress, Shangguan Lan, is the strongest beast master in the country, known by the title "Beast Master Emperor."

Xiao Xingyu had only seen Shangguan Lan's image on TV and in newspapers and had never met her in person.
