"Dumb dumb~~"
Observing the white shadow giant scale fish ignoring it and heading straight to the pool for training, the mutant red-winged crow cub shot it a disdainful glance before leaving. Even in departure, it cast a caring look back at the seemingly mentally challenged fish.
This display infuriated the mutant red-winged crow cub, fueling its desire to unleash a fiery rebuke upon the colossal fool.
"This big fool dares to treat the future sun supreme this way. It's getting roasted once I get the chance."
"Okay, Scarlet-winged Crow, you are partners, brothers who will fight side by side in the future. How can you kill each other?" Bai Zian intervened, attempting to defuse the situation.
To Bai Zian's surprise, the mutant red-winged crow cub was undeterred, seemingly eager to confront the white shadow giant scale fish. Bai Zian, acknowledging the huge gap in strength between the two, found himself perplexed by the crow's audacity.
In an attempt to reason with the fiery-tempered creature, Bai Zian addressed it, "Red-winged crow, do you want me to teach you? I promise that under my guidance, your strength will definitely improve by leaps and bounds."
However, the mutant red-winged crow cub, full of pride, dismissed Bai Zian's offer, convinced of its innate genius and refused to be trained by a mere human.
Undeterred, Bai Zian brought out a trump card—a gilt-gold diamond-shaped spar, an incomplete king-level crystal nucleus from a Scarlet Flame Sparrow. The mutant red-winged crow cub, recognizing the treasure, couldn't contain its excitement.
Yet, before it could snatch the treasure, Bai Zian proposed a bet. "For the next few days, you will listen to my words and train according to my orders. If you think the training effect is okay, I will do what I say in the future. If not, I won't interfere with your training, and you'll get this king-level crystal core. Do you want to bet with me?"
Seeing the sparkling treasure, the mutant red-winged crow cub eagerly agreed, its eyes filled with anticipation for the promised king-level crystal core.
"Let's get started," Bai Zian declared, initiating the bet.
Under Bai Zian's guidance, the mutant red-winged crow cub's progress was extraordinary. Within half a day, it mastered the skill "Smoke Shock" to a level of small success. Bai Zian was baffled by the rapid improvement, and even the mutant red-winged crow cub was left dumbfounded.
As the sun dipped below the horizon, the mutant red-winged crow cub was astonished by the miraculous training session. However, Bai Zian, aware that something extraordinary had occurred, remained puzzled. Seeking answers, he consulted the [Eye of Apocalypse], learning that the crow's affinity with the skill and its exceptional fire element talent were contributing factors.
With newfound respect, the mutant red-winged crow cub looked at Bai Zian in a different light. Meanwhile, the white shadow giant fish, observing the unfolding events with a hint of contempt, attributed the crow's transformation to its inability to withstand the boss's brilliance.
The following day, Bai Zian wasted no time. He immediately set out to treat the red-eyed golden fish using the Amethyst Aqualeaf. The rare herb's healing properties worked wonders, and Bai Jingchong's prized aquatic spirit beast showed signs of improvement. The once listless and weakened red-eyed golden fish regained vitality, and Bai Jingchong couldn't help but express his gratitude.
"Xiao An, you've truly brought a miracle to our family. I can't thank you enough," Bai Jingchong said with genuine appreciation.
Bai Zian humbly responded, "Grandpa, it's the least I could do. Family comes first, and I'll always strive to support and protect ours."
With the red-eyed golden fish on the road to recovery, Bai Zian shifted his focus to acquiring the eagle-type spirit beast egg. With his knowledge and connections, he swiftly located the suitable egg, negotiating the acquisition with the beastmaster who possessed it.
Returning with the precious egg, Bai Zian presented it to Bai Jingchong. "Grandpa, here is the eagle-type spirit beast egg. Its qualifications are exceptional, and once it hatches, it will undoubtedly become a powerful member of our team."
Bai Jingchong inspected the egg with a knowledgeable eye, nodding in approval. "Well done, Xiao An. Your choices have always been astute. I believe this eagle spirit beast will be a valuable addition to our family."
As they waited for the egg to hatch, Bai Jingchong took the opportunity to impart more wisdom to Bai Zian about the responsibilities and challenges of being a beastmaster. The bond between them strengthened, and Bai Zian absorbed every piece of advice with earnest dedication.
Days later, the eagle-type spirit beast egg hatched, revealing a majestic and formidable creature. Its presence exuded power and grace, earning the admiration of both Bai Jingchong and Bai Zian. With the addition of this new member, their family of beast companions grew stronger.
Bai Zian continued his training routines, guiding the red-eyed golden fish and the newly hatched eagle spirit beast in their development. The extraordinary synergy among the beasts, coupled with Bai Zian's guidance, resulted in rapid progress that drew attention from other beastmasters in the Mysterious World of Ten Thousand Spider Nests.
