Soon, Lin Jin came out with a bowl of concoction.
The concoction was thick and had a strong medicinal smell.
Outside, Masterchef Liao's yard had been ravaged by the two beasts. However, Masterchef Liao didn't care as he focused on watching the two beasts fight.
Not only him, but Zhao Ying, Lu Xiaoyun, and Han Dong were also dumbfounded.
Their pet beasts were cowering obediently at the back, not daring to approach.
To these pet beasts, these two in the yard were bosses they couldn't afford to offend.
"It's about time." Lin Jin held the concoction while observing Goldy's condition. Then, he placed the bowl in front of him and called for Xiao Huo to return.
Xiao Huo immediately jumped back. Goldy was visibly enraged as he flapped his wings, wanting to give chase. Seeing this, Lin Jin immediately cast a spell to unleash Xiao Huo's full strength.
Only then did Xiao Huo unleash his Rank 3 pet beast's strength. His body expanded until he was one size larger than a bull. His fur melded with the flames as if they were part of his fur. Under the threat of a beast king, Goldy finally stopped his pursuit.
Or perhaps, he had noticed the concoction on the ground.
Dying of thirst, Goldy immediately gulped down the concoction. To Goldy, as long as it was water, everything was fine.
Soon, Goldy finished half of the concoction.
This concoction was concocted according to the Museum of Deadly Beasts' prescription, so its effects were obvious.
The effect was immediate.
Goldy let out a strange cry as his body expanded and a lot of his fur fell off.
He continued to squawk as his body continued to grow, leaving a pile of feathers on the ground. Goldy now looked like a chicken with its feathers plucked.
His body continued to grow.
Finally, when he was almost as tall as a human, Goldy's body stopped growing.
At this moment, Goldy's aura was almost on par with Xiao Huo's. If it weren't for the fact that he was hairless, he might look even more intimidating.
All of a sudden, a flame emerged from Big Yellow's body, then a shocking scene appeared.
Like a painter's brush, the flames began to draw the outline of feathers on Big Huang's body. Piece by piece, feather by feather. In just a short while, the originally bald Big Huang was covered in flaming feathers, and its comb was like a flame.
With a long howl, everyone, including pet beasts, except for Xiao Huo and Lin Jin, took a step back. The pangolin and red fox even curled into a ball, shivering.
"Third … Third Order!"
Zhao Ying, Lu Xiaoyun, and Han Dong's eyes nearly popped out of their sockets. As apprentice beast appraisers, they had studied diligently for many years but they had never witnessed a Rank 2 to 3 evolution process with their own eyes.
Today, they actually saw it.
Isn't this just an ordinary rooster? When they first saw it, they didn't think that the rooster was anything special. Han Dong even thought that the rooster would be served on the table soon.
How did he suddenly advance? Moreover, he was already at the Third Order.
They couldn't figure it out and were left in shock.
Lin Jin was surprised as well. Goldy didn't have a blood contract and was an ownerless pet beast. Under such circumstances, evolution was even more difficult. But this time, Goldy only managed to awaken the Golden Crow's bloodline by chance by eating the emerald bloodworm. Lin Jin had also used the right method to guide and add fuel to the fire.
At Rank 3, not only could a pet beast change its body size, but it would also become more adept at using elemental powers. Its intelligence would also improve.
Goldy had always been smarter than most pet beasts. After this evolution, he naturally knew who the biggest 'contributor' was. He called out to Lin Jin and flapped his wings.
The wind was oppressive.
Then, he clawed at the ground with his claws. The stone slabs on the ground were cut open by his sharp claws as if he had been slashed by a red-hot sword, leaving behind scorching marks.
Then, he shrunk down to the size of an ordinary rooster and went back to basking in the sun as if what happened earlier had nothing to do with him.
After a long while, Lu Xiaoyun said, "This rooster sure has a personality."
It wasn't the first time Lin Jin found out about Goldy's personality.
To him, Goldy's evolution was a good thing. Although Goldy wasn't his pet beast, the chicken liked him quite a bit and had been following him around all this while.
Due to this sudden incident, Liao Gu's yard was completely destroyed. The masterchef didn't complain at all. In his words, being able to witness such a rare sight with his own eyes was worth it.
After the initial shock, Zhao Ying, Lu Xiaoyun, and Han Dong became even more respectful toward Lin Jin.
Zhao Ying and Lu Xiaoyun had suspected that Lin Jin's pet beast, Xiao Huo, had reached Rank 3 but they never confirmed it. But this time, it was confirmed.
Xiao Huo really was a Rank 3 pet beast.
And now, it wasn't just Xiao Huo. Even Lin Jin's rooster at home had reached Rank 3.
Looking at their own pet beasts, they could only feel the difference between them.
Especially Han Dong.
Han Dong's pet beast was an 'armored boar'.
This type of pet beast was quite rare. It was a 'mutated' species of wild boar. Due to the tough keratin on its back and legs, it looked like it was wearing a suit of armor, hence its name.
His Armored Pig was only grade-1, so Han Dong had no idea how to advance it. He had been doing odd jobs in the logistics department so he had a good relationship with Dong He. He once asked Dong He to ask Elder Nangong about it.
It was said that Elder Nangong's beast appraising skills were above even Chief Wang Ji's.
For this matter, Han Dong offered Dong He a lot of benefits. But after waiting for many days, he was told to change his pet beast.
Even now, Han Dong could still remember the scene.
Pet beasts like wild boars didn't have much potential to begin with. Although they had decent combat strength among Rank 1 pet beasts and could even take on a lion or tiger in a frenzy, what was the use if they couldn't evolve?
But Han Dong would never give up on his armored boar.
Not ever.
One year ago, his armored boar was bitten by a venomous snake in an attempt to save him. Due to this accident, it was severely injured. Although its life was saved in the end, the poison in its body wasn't completely purged. Not only was its internal organs damaged, but it also cut off the possibility of evolution.
Han Dong was a man of average birth and aptitude. He was cautious and submissive to others. He had to struggle his way up to become an apprentice beast appraiser.
He could bend his back for the sake of life and give up his dignity for the sake of his future, but he swore that he would never give up on his pet beast.
Even if he had to spend the rest of his life in mediocrity and never make a name for himself.
Because if it weren't for the little pig, he would be dead by now.
Dong He came to him because he thought Han Dong was easy to control. Little did he know, Han Dong wasn't the kind of person they thought he was.
Zhao Ying and Lu Xiaoyun's pet beasts were now Rank 2. When Han Dong found out about this, he felt a glimmer of hope. Even an idiot would know that Lin Jin was the reason why Zhao Ying and Lu Xiaoyun's pet beasts were able to evolve. Now that he witnessed the unbelievable sight of the rooster evolving, Han Dong couldn't hold it in anymore and kowtowed to Lin Jin.
"Master Lin, Han Dong has a request!"
