Beast Taming: the More the Better Chapter 1095 - 454: Little Flame: It Was Mine First...

"Who would have thought that the first attempt at breeding would actually succeed? Although, having the Flame Venerable’s memory as support surely helped, isn’t this efficiency a bit too frightening?"
Zhu Hong leaned his chin on his hand, squatting atop the Heart of Phoenix, looking at the little crow that was cawing proudly, seemingly falling into a self-doubt mode.
Su Ping didn’t pay him any mind, reaching out his hand. The little crow flapped its wings and landed in his palm, allowing Su Ping to affectionate stroke its slightly hardened yet warm feathers.
"Gaga!"
"Alright, alright, you’re the best! The Heart of Phoenix is entrusted to you!"
Su Ping replied with a smile, but he carefully used the Spirit Vision Eye to observe the little crow at this moment:
[Darkflame Ancient Raven (Wild)]
[Attributes: Fire, Darkness]
[Current Level: Monarch First Rank]
[Racial Boundary: Monarch Seventh Rank]
[Racial Skills: Flame Projectile (Proficient), Flowing Flame Garment (Proficient), Flame Conversion (Proficient), Flame Consumption (Proficient), Smoky Fire (Proficient), Everlasting Flame (Proficient), Darkflame Incarnation (Proficient), Super·Fire Seed (Beginner)]
In terms of skills, besides the additional Fire Seed, the little crow’s other skills remained unchanged.
Only the realm shot right up to Monarch First Rank.
It’s worth noting that, prior to cultivation, the little crow was only at Commandant Eighth Rank, not only leaping over several minor realms but directly bypassing a great realm, ascending to Monarch Level.
It’s evident what this Fire Seed signifies for a flame element pet beast like the little crow.
However, just as the Spirit Vision Eye was withdrawn, a bizarre light momentarily flickered across the little crow’s body and vanished.
This light made Su Ping wonder if he was seeing things until even Zhu Hong and the already passionate Yun Sheng spoke softly:
"Light of Evolution?"
Indeed, that light was none other than the flickering Light of Evolution.
Can the Fire Seed lead the Darkflame Ancient Raven to complete evolution?
Is it a standard evolution or a progenitor evolution?
Although the latter likely signifies the former, the latter holds more significance for Su Ping.
Nevertheless, it’s something he truly doesn’t know, requiring thorough research, possibly involving crow-type pet beasts lost in history to uncover some possibilities.
But soon enough, Su Ping realized he didn’t need to consult any materials, since he had a half-finished fire-type bird encyclopedia right beside him?
Thinking of this, Su Ping looked towards Little Flame:
"Little Flame, in the Flame Venerable’s memory you saw, is there an evolutionary body for the Darkflame Ancient Raven, or are there any traces of the ancient divine beast, the Three-legged Golden Crow?"
Little Flame hesitated slightly, then seemed to shake its head without thinking.
Su Ping scratched his head, is it not in the Flame Venerable’s memory?
But he remembers Little Flame mentioning the Flame Venerable’s memory held extensive knowledge and understanding about bird-type pet beasts.
Even more so than useful breeding formulas for human beastmasters.
Yet, seeing Little Flame’s reaction, he couldn’t ask further.
Observing Su Ping’s contemplative expression, Little Flame, after ascending to Commander Level, began pondering deeply:
Could this guy be intending to make his mount a contracted beast?
Previously, Little Flame was psychologically less averse to becoming Su Ping’s pet beast.
And witnessing Yaya successfully breeding the Fire Seed, Little Flame was eager to become this guy’s pet beast.
If it really could become the Supreme of Fire, a mythical level existence within the fire element, then being the pet beast of this fairly likable human doesn’t seem unacceptable.
Certainly.
Little Flame valued its honor.
Thinking back, it swore vehemently before Su Ping.
It, Flame Venerable’s Avatar, Little Flame, would never become a mere human’s pet beast, even if devoured by other avatars or disappearing instantly.
Thus, now, Little Flame was caught in a dilemma.
It couldn’t possibly just tell Su Ping, your power is strong, the main body favors you, quickly breed a Fire Seed for the main body, then cultivate the Fire Seed into the Vermilion Bird’s Nanming Li Fire from ancient legends, and then we’ll happily sign a Soul Contract!
That’s simply unseemly!
It amounted to treating its former vow as mere bluster.
It would also lead Su Ping to believe Little Flame yielded only due to the Fire Seed, reducing it to a small opportunist... wait, a small flame became a much smaller flame?
Unacceptable! Completely unacceptable!
Therefore, Little Flame pondered again, realizing it could not remain idle.
Whether it is becoming Su Ping’s pet beast or yearning for the Fire Seed, preliminary preparations are necessary.
"Hiss hiss hiss (Su Ping... is your fourth pet beast ready?)"
At this moment, Zhu Hong and Yun Sheng remained engrossed in the recent breeding and the Fire Seed’s capabilities. Additionally, their attention was captivated by the little crow in Su Ping’s hand. Hearing Little Flame speak, Su Ping hesitated slightly, then after some thought responded:
