Chapter 258 — Ginseng Baby's Invincible Evolution
The Beast-Taming Craftsman · Page 1 of 11
By the time Shi Jin reached the Imperial Capital University, the old chancellor and the vice-chancellor, Ye Hui, had already been informed at the first opportunity.
Since Shi Jin had been drawn here by Ye Hui, president of the Beast-Taming Association, the task of watching over his entry into the Time Secret Realm naturally fell on Ye Hui's shoulders.
When Ye Hui arrived at the Temple of Prophecy, he found Shi Jin, the Owl, and the others in the middle of an argument.
"Bet against the prophecy, and you'll be living in a seaside villa." A certain cat declared with the utmost solemnity.
If the prophecy failed, then that could only mean the evolution had succeeded.
"Nonsense!!"
The prophecy concerned only today's events, and the subject of the prediction wasn't even that powerful—the Prophetic Owl refused to believe it could be wrong this time.
This time, it was clearly far more reliable than those previous totem-related prophecies.
Besides, even an idiot could figure out that Shi Jin and his lot were on the wrong track.
Time affinity was the strongest and rarest attribute of all—on this point the Prophetic Owl was in complete agreement. How could such a mighty attribute possibly be evolved into existence by relying on some trifling Time Relic?
Using the Time Relic as the primary evolution site—Shi Jin and the others had gotten their direction completely wrong from the start!
It wasn't that it doubted the relic left behind by its own beast-tamer. After all, even Emperor Shi—according to legend—had never been able to help other living beings evolve a Time affinity. At most, he could teach his subordinates' pets to learn compound skills of the Time element!
"I say, you people..." President Ye Hui scratched his head. Right now, he didn't even need to guess to know what was going on.
They were probably tearing into each other over the Owl's prophecy again.
"I'm here, I'm here." President Ye cut everyone off.
"Oh, little Leafy's here." Seeing President Ye Hui arrive, the Owl said, "Where's the pass?"
"Uncle Ye." Shi Li greeted him.
The cat also took a look at this president of the Beast-Taming Association.
"Brought it." President Ye chuckled. Opening the Time Secret Realm required a pass from the Imperial Capital University authorities—it had to be approved jointly by the chancellor and several senior officials.
Although the Owl was the guardian of the Time Secret Realm, bound by the rules of the first chancellor, the entry procedures were still indispensable.
"So can we go in now?" Shi Li asked.
Ye Hui said, "Yes, you can. But only you are going in alone. The Time Secret Realm has strict level restrictions on entrants. Teacher Ying will probably have to wait outside for you."
He glanced at the guardian overlord cat of the Ancient Capital University.
"No problem, I'll just wait outside. It's been a while since I last came to the Imperial Capital University anyway... perfect chance to..." It looked toward the Prophetic Owl.
Fleece the other party good!
"Bastard." The Prophetic Owl cursed and grumbled. Unfortunately, all its skill points had gone into foreseeing the future—it couldn't beat this cat in a fight.
"Then let's hurry it up." Shi Yan said cheerfully.
"Go, go, go." The Owl sighed.
Next, Shi Jin and the others began their preparations.
What actually needed preparing was simply enough resources. Even though only three days would pass outside, the equivalent of a month would pass inside. Within the realm, apart from basic facilities, no other resources were produced at all, so beast-tamers had to make these preparations before entering.
It took almost no time at all before everything was arranged. The Owl began leading Shi Jin and the others deep into the Forest of Time.
At the same time, it instructed them, "No matter how long you can hold out, to be safe, I'll toss you back out once three days have passed outside. There are simply too many unstable factors in there."
