Chapter 171: The Growth of Gold, Silver, and Storm (Part 2)
[Skills: Sacred Healing (Minor Achievement 12%); Barrier (Minor Achievement 43%); Wing Control (High); Dragon Tail (Minor Achievement 3%); Dragon Breath (Major Achievement 1%); Teleportation (Minor Achievement 18%); Holy Light Protection (Beginner 87%); Angel's Kiss (Beginner 6%); Reverse Scales (High)]
Little Silver Flower's energy value actually reached its level cap half a month ago, but its evolution requires Rule Power and a color change of Order Crystals.
Setting aside the Order Crystals for now, there's currently only one bottle of Rule Power, collected during Ming Xi's third awakening.
Guang Guang mentioned that for Little Silver Flower to evolve to advanced level, it needs to absorb at least three bottles of Rule Power.
Therefore, Little Silver Flower's evolution will have to wait until after Golden Ingot and Mist Moon evolve first.
However, it hasn't been slacking off too much during this period. Even without Golden Ingot's forceful supervision, it has obediently completed the planned training without showing any reluctance.
Although its skill proficiency improvement isn't as fast as Golden Ingot's, it's already far ahead compared to other intermediate-level magical beasts of the same age.
As for the reason behind its change, we need to talk about Mist Moon.
[Frost Soul Lynx]

Description: ...]
[Skills: Frozen Wind (Major Achievement 17%); Ice Spike (Major Achievement 16%); Cold Air (Major Achievement 15%); Endure (Major Achievement 72%); Ice Flame (Major Achievement 13%); Fireball (Major Achievement 11%)]
[Bloodline Issue: Collapse Probability 41%; Fusion Possibility 23%
Description: Contains both Frost Six-Tailed Fox and Karmic Fire Asura Emperor bloodlines. If the two bloodlines conflict and collapse, this magical beast will die. Otherwise, it may evolve into a completely new species.]
Notice anything?
In just 36 days, all of Mist Moon's skills have reached major achievement level!
And except for Endure, the other skills have basically progressed at the same rate.
For other extraordinary creatures, reaching this level of skill proficiency would take at least two to three years.
Mist Moon is terrifyingly powerful!
Aside from the mandatory combat training time set by Ming Xi, Mist Moon spends almost all its remaining training hours in the Time Realm's static simulation chamber.
To quickly improve skill proficiency, it specifically consulted Guang Guang and learned to multitask three skills simultaneously—using Endure (a normal-type skill) while simultaneously releasing one ice-type and one fire-type skill, avoiding energy conflicts.
It fully utilizes the static simulation chamber's functions, effectively turning one minute into three.
Moreover, it never relaxes its training, truly wasting neither time nor effort.
Golden Ingot is already extremely hardworking, but compared to Mist Moon, even Golden Ingot has to admit defeat.
Mist Moon's dedication leaves no room for others to surpass it!
Mist Moon has a clear understanding of its position—its talent is inferior to its big brother (Golden Ingot) and second sister (Little Silver Flower), so it must overcome all difficulties through relentless effort!
Its beast tamer once said: "Genius is nothing but endless capacity for hard work!"
"Talent might let us stand on the shoulders of giants, but only effort allows us to see further and walk steadier."
Mist Moon doesn't understand profound philosophies—it simply feels that having such excellent conditions would be wasteful if it didn't give its all.
Mist Moon is the first extraordinary creature that made the proud Golden Ingot genuinely feel respect and even awe.
Not awe of strength, but admiration for its purity and perseverance!
This spirit of Mist Moon has also somewhat influenced Little Silver Flower.
With its big brother being so diligent and its little brother being so hardworking, if it slacked off even slightly, would its beast tamer still love it most?
This is a kind of herd effect.
The three have now formed a healthy competitive dynamic.
Mother hen Ming Xi feels deeply gratified.
"Guang Guang, are you sure Mist Moon won't encounter problems using the normal Frost Soul Lynx evolution method?"
After contracting Mist Moon, Ming Xi thoroughly researched information about Frost Soul Lynxes.
This species heavily relies on ice-type energy, so they typically prefer living in colder environments.
Mist Moon's parents, for example, chose to live in a valley with extreme cold energy.
Environments with active ice-type energy not only benefit their growth but are also one of the conditions for their evolution.
Currently, Frost Soul Lynxes are known to have only one evolutionary path:
Primary Frost Soul Lynx → Intermediate Ice Extreme Cat → Advanced Ice Extreme Twin-Tailed Cat → General-level Ice Spike Three-Tailed Cat → Elite-level Ice Ambush Four-Tailed Beast → King-level Ice Leap Five-Tailed Beast → Emperor-level Frost Six-Tailed Fox.
For a Frost Soul Lynx to evolve into an Ice Extreme Cat, besides reaching the energy level cap, it also needs to absorb 1 to 5 D-grade ice-type energy crystals in a freezing environment (below -20°C) during the evolution process.
Generally, the more energy crystals absorbed during evolution, the higher the talent in the next stage.
Ming Xi prepared the ice-type energy crystals long ago, but she can't be certain this evolution condition applies to Mist Moon.
Mist Moon's bloodline issue remains a hidden danger.
Although the probability of bloodline collapse decreased by 1 percentage point due to recent intensive training, Ming Xi still doesn't dare relax.
Until the bloodline issue is completely resolved, it remains a ticking time bomb that could explode at any moment.
"Master, don't worry. Until its bloodline issue is fully resolved, its evolution process is the same as other Frost Soul Lynxes."
With Guang Guang's assurance, Ming Xi finally relaxed.
She picked up Mist Moon, who had noticeably grown larger.
Thanks to Ming Xi's no-expense-spared feeding and Little Silver Flower's daily Sacred Healing sessions, current Mist Moon is completely different from when they first contracted.
Its originally sparse and messy fur has become thick and fluffy, soft as cotton.
The red patterns on its face and limbs have also become more distinct.
The demonically beautiful red doesn't make Mist Moon appear warmer—instead, it adds a noble, dignified quality.
It feels even more coldly imposing than normal Frost Soul Lynxes.
Mist Moon's personality is indeed aloof. It rarely speaks and mostly ignores people and creatures other than Ming Xi, Golden Ingot, and Little Silver Flower.
It maintains a cold expression year-round.
But actually, its emotions are the easiest to read because of the Frost Soul Bell.
Whenever its emotions fluctuate—whether happy, sad, angry, or wronged—the Frost Soul Bell rings.
Now Ming Xi can roughly gauge its mood based on the bell's tone.
"Mist Moon, after we pass the Limit Tower's D-rank assessment challenge tomorrow, we'll go to Icepeak City!"
