6 Chapter 4: Guardian Beast Evolution Route

The post had just been sent out, and soon there was a large number of replies.
“We have been researching Guardian Beast’s evolution routes for two thousand years, and now we have achieved remarkable results. Many Guardian Beasts can be found on the Beastmaster’s Forum for their evolution routes. You can learn how to do it yourself.”
“There are too many types of monsters, and even the mountains, rivers, and plants can evolve. In the spatial gate, there are always a bunch of previously unseen monsters that come out every year. It’s impossible to know about the evolution route of all monsters, but we are always striving.”
“That’s right, even professional Beast Raising Masters dare not say they know all the evolution routes of Guardian Beasts.”
“In any case, human beings have been researching Guardian Beasts for so many years, and there are still quite a few achievements. For many known Guardian Beasts, we have basically found one or two evolution routes.”
“The evolution routes of all Guardian Beasts are closely related to the Beastmaster’s Space. In the Beastmaster’s Space, the probability of Guardian Beasts breaking through the Species Level is higher, and this is the reason why many highly intelligent monsters are now willing to sign a contract with humans.”
“Even if you know one or two evolution routes, it is extremely difficult to help Guardian Beasts evolve to a higher Species Level.”
“Yes, it is relatively easy to increase the Combat Power Level, but the Species Level is really too difficult, and it depends on opportunities, which can only be encountered but not sought.”
The latest reply seemed to be an advertisement, “Do you want to cultivate your own Guardian Beast? Come to our ‘Tricking You Beast Raising Studio!’ Reasonable prices, no deception to children or the elderly!”
“If you provide the materials yourself, it only costs 150,000 union coins to increase the Combat Power Level of a Guardian Beast within Level 5. Our address is… ”
Chen Fan was furious…
You even said “Trick You,” do you think I am an idiot?
However, soon that person sent another message, “The previous one was a typo, it’s ‘Protecting You Beastmaster’s Studio,’ not ‘Tricking You Beast Raising Studio.’ This damn input method…”
“Is it really a problem with the input method?” Chen Fan sneered.
But the price quoted by this “Tricking You Beast Raising Studio” allowed him to roughly understand the current market for “cultivating Guardian Beasts.”
Provide the materials yourself, and for a Guardian Beast within Level 5, it costs 150,000 union coins to increase a Combat Power Level…
Chen Fan opened Qiandu and searched for housing prices in East Sea City.
He found that a 100 square meter house in East Sea City costs around 900,000 union coins.
Inside the city is the most expensive, outside the city is cheaper.
So, including the materials, upgrading a Guardian Beast’s Combat Power Level to Level 5 would cost more than a house in East Sea City’s inner city?
This is simply robbery!
Do Beast-raising Studios make so much money?
Chen Fan suppressed his impulse and after reading through the replies one by one, he entered “Ragdoll Cat Evolution Route” in the forum’s search box.
Several posts by professional Beast Raising Masters immediately appeared…
Awakened Ragdoll Cat Evolution Route: Ragdoll Cat→Bloodthirsty Cat→Star Space Shadow Cat.
Below was a seemingly authenticated “Beast Raising Master’s” evaluation: This is the best evolution route for an Awakened Ragdoll Cat.
Chen Fan couldn’t help but be stunned: “That’s it?”
“The best evolution route?”
Looking at this evolution route, when the Ragdoll Cat evolves to its final form, it becomes a “Star Space Shadow Cat.”
This evolution route is the same as the Ordinary Evolution Path shown in the system.
However, on his system panel, there is also a “Hidden Variant Evolution Path” for Snowy, which is obviously much stronger than the normal evolution path!
Moreover, on the system panel, Snowy’s “Hidden Variant Evolution Path” ends with an ellipsis, obviously indicating that it can break through to even higher levels.
But the Normal Evolution Path stops abruptly at the Star Space Shadow Cat.
…
Chen Fan then entered “Wild Savage Ape Evolution Route” in the forum search box.
Wild Savage Ape Evolution Route: Wild Savage Ape→Stone-skinned Demon Ape→Iron-skinned Demon Ape.
As expected…
The ordinary evolution path given by the system is basically consistent with the evolution path searched on the forum.
However, according to the forum’s information, the Wild Savage Ape has only this one evolution path.
But the system also provided a “Hidden Variant Evolution Path,” allowing the Wild Savage Ape to break through to the level of the “Primordial Grey Ape” and above!
The difference between the two evolution paths is huge!
Chen Fan took a deep breath, suppressed the shock and ecstasy in his heart once again, and opened two pages, entering “Combat Power Level” and “Species Level” respectively…
Guardian Beast levels are divided into “Combat Power Levels” and “Species Levels.”
[Combat Power Level]: 1-5 (Ordinary), 6-10 (Elite), 11-15 (Leader), 16-20 (War General);
21-25 (Commander), 26-30 (King), 31-35 (Overlord), 36-40 (Emperor), 41-45 (Dominator)…
[Species Level]: Awakened, Extraordinary, Lord, Monarch, Legend, Epic, Myth. Seven Species Levels, each divided into Low, Medium, High.
——————————————
[Combat Power Level]is the strength level of the Guardian Beast, based on Star Power as a reference, and is only a rough estimate of the Guardian Beast’s combat power.
[Species Level]represents the innate advantage and development potential of the Guardian Beasts, determining the upper limit for the Combat Power Level of Guardian Beasts. However, this limit is not unbreakable. Once it’s broken, it’s possible to awaken even more powerful talents and abilities.
The same Combat Power Level only indicates that their Star Power is on the same level, and it does not mean that the actual strength of the Guardian Beasts is exactly the same because the Species Level needs to be taken into consideration.
Guardian Beasts with the same combat power level have the same Star Power, but the higher the species level, the stronger they are.
Star Power is the main strength of the Guardian Beasts, but it is not the only strength.
In addition to Star Power, Guardian Beasts have strength from their species.
For example, a rabbit and an elephant with the same Combat Power Level 5 both have the same Star Power, but the Species Level of the elephant is much stronger than that of the rabbit, having an innate advantage…the elephant has a much larger body and greater strength.
So even with the same Combat Power Level and Star Power, the elephant may still crush the rabbit with the same combat power level.
It’s not until the levels of rabbits and elephants are raised to a certain level that their Star Power becomes much stronger than the power brought by their species, and the gap between the two sides will gradually close.
——————————————
Star Martial Artists and Guardian Beastmasters cultivation levels: range from first rank to nine ranks (higher than nine ranks exist, but ordinary people do not know about them), and each rank is divided into five layers.
For both Star Martial Artists and Guardian Beastmasters, Star Power is an important measure of strength, but it’s not the whole story… because it also requires opening meridians and apertures.
When starting cultivation for Star Martial Artists or Guardian Beastmasters, after reaching the required Star Power, they need to create eight main channels and at least seventy-two collateral channels, then forge the Star Sea in order to breakthrough to the first-grade realm.
In the first-grade realm, Star Martial Artists or Guardian Beastmasters need to open the Nine Apertures, after reaching the standard of Star Power, to finally break the limit of the first rank and reach the Grade 2 Realm.
The cultivation of Guardian Beastmasters and Star Martial Artists is relatively more complex than that of Guardian Beasts.
In the world of Guardian Beasts, Guardian Beastmasters have much greater development potential than Star Martial Artists due to multiple contracts and the growth of Guardian Beasts, which in turn helps the Beastmaster grow more quickly.
After silently noting down this information, Chen Fan took another look at the four Guardian Beasts surrounding the square.
These four Guardian Beasts, including the Wild Savage Ape, had a Combat Power Level of 10, which made them Elite.
Their Species Level, however, was Moderate Extraordinary.
Both their Combat Power Level and their Species Level far surpassed Snowy’s current abilities.
However…
Chen Fan believed that if he could collect the necessary materials, it would only be a matter of time before Snowy surpassed these four powerful Guardian Beasts!
But that’s for later… there’s a need for money and time.
The priority is to find a way to increase Snowy’s strength to Level 2!
Otherwise, the jungle assessment over these three days would be extremely dangerous!
At this thought, Chen Fan opened the “Thousand Degrees Map”.
He then typed “Tang Country East Sea City Guidance Plaza” on the map.
A large map immediately appeared in front of him.
On the map, there was an introduction to the Guidance Plaza and the surrounding jungle.
The jungle surrounding the Guidance Plaza was called “Black Ant Forest”. The Black Ant Forest had several iron veins with many Level 1 and 2 Iron-eating Black Ants and Holy Beetles living in it.
Chen Fan moved two fingers to enlarge the map.
Enlarge.
Enlarge further…
There it was.
The Black Ant Forest had a river called the “Sinking Star River”.
The Sinking Star River flowed from west to east, winding through the entire forest.
Due to the countless blue scaled demonic fish living in the river, their scales were like shimmering stars under the sunlight, the river was named the “Sinking Star River”.
There were many blue scaled demonic fish in the Sinking Star River, mainly Level 1 to 3. They were extremely ferocious and had strong attacks, making it the most dangerous place in the Black Ant Forest.
The reason it was considered the most dangerous was that other monsters in the forest such as the Iron-eating Black Ants and Holy Beetles generally had Level 1 and 2 powers. Although they were numerous, they posed little threat.
Thus, there’s a red warning about the Sinking Star River on the map.
“…”
Chen Fan furrowed his eyebrows.
Are the fish with combat power level 3 that terrifying?
It seems they’ll need to be careful.
No…
For him and Snowy, who haven’t started cultivation yet, even Level 2 might be extremely dangerous.
Within the Black Ant Forest, there are mainly Level 1-2 Iron-eating Black Ants and Holy Beetles. Yet, the information on that big screen suggests that entering the forest without forming a team would be quite dangerous for ordinary people!
