Beast Taming: the More the Better Chapter 801 - 348: The Evolution of the Coral Insect! Rainbow Dragon’s Hope!

The Ray Saint felt a sense of bewilderment. Trailing behind this young man, he found himself led all the way to the edge of the Heart of Water.
Although he was not a career Breeder, his standing as a Spirit Saint Level expert meant his knowledge regarding Pet Beast cultivation was profound and extensive.
Naturally, he possessed a deep grasp of how to cultivate Water Element Pet Beasts. It was precisely this expertise that left him confused after listening to the words Su Ping had spoken moments ago.
Eat it?
Let his own creature consume the Rainbow Coral Worm?
Wasn't that akin to tossing a bun to a rabid dog?
Actually, no—given the tiny stature of a Rainbow Coral Worm, it wouldn't even manage to fill the gaps between the beast’s teeth.
Surely the plan wasn't for the Rainbow Coral Worm to swallow the Water Dragon?
This boy was simply pulling his leg, right?
Even upon arriving at the Heart of Water and witnessing Su Ping instruct the staff to close the area for the day, the Ray Saint remained deeply skeptical. He had never once, in all his years, heard of a Pet Beast being cultivated through such unconventional methods.
However, watching Su Ping’s grave expression, it was evident he was not merely jesting. Could this young fellow actually be serious?
He didn't lack trust in Su Ping, but if the situation spiraled out of control and the Rainbow Coral Worm perished—that would be a staggering loss.
Even an exalted figure like the Ray Saint would feel the sting of regret over the destruction of such a rare aquatic specimen. The Rainbow Coral Worm was incredibly precious, a creature whose value transcended mere levels.
If it were truly devoured in a single gulp, wouldn't that be an utter disaster?
While the Ray Saint was lost in these troubled thoughts, Su Ping had already reached the lakeside. After looking out over the vast expanse of the Heart of Water with a satisfied air, he turned toward the Ray Saint.
"Senior, the summoning may commence now."
"Su Ping, are you positive? This is no laughing matter. I don't know how you acquired this Rainbow Coral Worm or where you conceived such an absurd idea, but the risks are astronomical. The body of a Rainbow Coral Worm is fragility incarnate; even a common mortal could crush it to death, let alone a dragon of that caliber."
The Ray Saint delivered this final word of warning with a heavy heart. As a high-level Water Element Beast Tamer, he understood better than most just how vital the Rainbow Coral Worm was to aquatic species.
Within the Breeder circles, there had been pressure to categorize the Rainbow Coral Worm as a specialized resource rather than a Pet Beast, though nothing had been finalized yet.
While the creature didn't display traditional evolution in the wild, secret research conducted in Dragon City suggested it possessed immense potential for dragon transformation.
Therefore, it could not be relegated to mere material. The reason for its obscurity was the same ancient tale: rarity. Furthermore, the dragon transformation cultivation techniques utilized in Dragon City were not shared with every member of the Breeder Association.
Su Ping, however, seemed entirely unbothered. He smiled and offered a simple nod in response to the Ray Saint’s caution.
"Rest assured, I never joke about such things. I have my own design, and you will understand soon enough."
He truly was not joking, even if the premise sounded like an absurdity.
Receiving Su Ping’s unwavering response, the Ray Saint fell silent. If this audacious youth didn't care about the risk, he supposed he had no choice. Besides, while the Rainbow Coral Worm was valuable, he could survive the loss.
With that thought providing some comfort, a gleam ignited in the Ray Saint’s eyes. A thunderous roar suddenly erupted, shaking the area surrounding the Heart of Myriad Spirits and the Heart of Water.
"Ang!"
The atmosphere turned heavy with humidity in an instant. All the Water Element Pet Beasts in the vicinity began to tremble, cowed by the sheer weight of the descending Dragon Might.
Su Ping cast his gaze upward. As anticipated, a sapphire-blue figure materialized at the shoreline.
Its scales shimmered with dew, and its majestic, divine dragon form coiled at the edge of the lake. Its massive head loomed over the landscape, locking its focused gaze onto the unassuming Su Ping standing below.
The true form of the Water Dragon! Not the juvenile version he had seen before, but a perfected Elemental Water Dragon, a creature with the potential for the Spirit Saint Level.
Even though he had encountered dragons in the past, Su Ping still felt a jolt of awe every time one appeared.
Power, perfection—it was the quintessential combat Pet Beast, the primary pride of the Dragon Nation now rising again on the Blue Star.
Su Ping narrowed his eyes, a flicker of longing dancing in his pupils. When he traveled to the Imperial Capital and Dragon City, he would make sure to acquire one, no matter the cost!
It was, needless to say, an imposing sight.
"This is my Water Dragon, Shangshan," the Ray Saint said, introducing the beast to Su Ping.
This time, it was Su Ping’s turn to regard the Ray Saint with a touch of surprise.
