Beasts: Only I Can See the Hidden Evolution Path

**Yin Nan Mountain.**

By the edge of a pond, a white-haired youth leaned against a tree, his expression as calm as the water in the pond.

A giant Griffin flapped its wings, its sharp claws tearing into the flesh of a Silver Fang Snake.

The Silver Fang Snake was also an initial-stage (Third Tier) magical beast, only a step away from evolving into a mature-stage beast.

If other newcomers encountered a Silver Fang Snake, their first reaction would likely be to flee.

“Xiao Bai, stop torturing it. Just take out the magical beast core,” the youth said.

The Griffin let out a few calls, its sharp beak slicing through the flesh of the Silver Fang Snake to retrieve the magical beast core.

The Silver Fang Snake lay on the ground, devoid of its final breath.

**At Qinglong Academy, Central Square.**

The electronic broadcast screen refreshed with the latest scores.

Murong Yangshuo: 41 kills.

Yang Xu, at the commentary booth, shouted excitedly. “Murong Yangshuo has an impressive total of 41 kills!”

“It appears that Murong Yangshuo is indeed a standout among the younger generation of the Murong family—a true genius!”

“His magical beast, the White Meng Griffin, is the only super-powered beast in this trial!”

The Griffin beside Murong Yangshuo was covered in white feathers, with a red gem embedded in its forehead, looking both majestic and elegant.

This was Murong Yangshuo’s magical beast, the White Meng Griffin.

In the magical beast system, super-powered beasts were the rarest.

The White Meng Griffin belonged to the super-powered category, and its most powerful ability was **Spatial Penetration**.

Typically, magical beasts possessed strong armor and defensive capabilities.

The **Spatial Penetration** ability allowed the Griffin to instantly close the distance to any magical beast, and its attacks could bypass defenses.

This ability could easily penetrate the armor of magical beasts and counter their recovery capabilities.

The Silver Fang Snake was known for its strong recovery abilities, but it was completely countered by the Griffin’s powers, leading to its miserable demise.

Murong Yangshuo picked up the magical beast core from the Silver Fang Snake and placed it into his spatial ring, turning to gently stroke the Griffin’s head.

“Xiao Bai, well done.”

Murong Yangshuo was usually tight-lipped and rarely spoke with others, but he would engage with his magical beast.

Yang Xu glanced at the chat area and couldn’t help but comment. “It seems that Murong Yangshuo is quite popular among the female fans!”

The chat was filled with messages from girls expressing their admiration for Murong Yangshuo.

“Having witnessed Murong Yangshuo’s performance, let’s take a look at his sister, Murong Xinxin’s performance!”

The live stream camera shifted to a cliff edge.

A Bloodthirsty Lion staggered, covered in horrifying wounds, its eyes reflecting endless fear.

A white-haired girl slowly approached the Bloodthirsty Lion.

The girl had a pure appearance, with distinct facial features, and her aura bore some resemblance to Murong Yangshuo.

This white-haired girl was Murong Yangshuo’s sister, Murong Xinxin.

At this moment, a giant bat followed Murong Xinxin.

The bat spread its wings, resembling a giant net, creating an overwhelming sense of terror.

Interestingly, the bat had no flesh, only a skeletal structure with two green flames burning in its eye sockets.

Yang Xu introduced this magical beast in the loudest voice. “Ladies and gentlemen, this is Murong Xinxin’s magical beast, the Bone Wing Bat, which has a legendary bloodline!”

“Moreover, the Bone Wing Bat is the only undead beast in this trial!”

Undead beasts were even rarer than super-powered beasts.

Compared to other magical beasts, the greatest advantage of undead beasts was their innate ability to resist physical attacks.

Even if the Bone Wing Bat’s body was torn apart or crushed, it could quickly recover.

This was the physical damage immunity effect, which allowed it to counter all magical beasts reliant on physical attacks.

“The Bloodthirsty Lion is an initial-stage (Second Tier) magical beast with an epic bloodline, boasting thick armor and a fivefold critical strike effect on physical attacks—its talent is formidable.”

“Unfortunately, it encountered the Bone Wing Bat, and today is its doom!”

“If Murong Xinxin successfully kills this Bloodthirsty Lion, her total kill count will reach 51!”

At that moment, on the broadcast screen, Murong Xinxin ranked first with a total of 50 kills.

The live chat was buzzing with comments.

“Miss Murong is my goddess!”

“This talent is even stronger than her brother Murong Yangshuo!”

“Whoever marries this woman will probably be too afraid to fight back during a domestic dispute!”

Murong Xinxin’s overwhelming strength even eclipsed that of her brother Murong Yangshuo.

In reality, Murong Yangshuo had not used his full strength; he wasn’t interested in showboating, and he preferred to keep his trial scores understated.

Every newcomer participating in the trial wore an electronic watch that synchronized with the score data.

Seeing his sister currently in first place, Murong Yangshuo’s stoic face flashed a smile.

“Looks like my sister should secure the top position in this trial.”

“As her brother…”

“Of course, I won’t compete with her for it.”

It was evident that this seemingly cold and unfeeling white-haired youth had a warm heart and was a doting brother.

Suddenly, Murong Yangshuo's expression froze, and the corners of his mouth turned downward.

His watch displayed that Murong Xinxin’s ranking had dropped, now placing her in second.

“Someone surpassed my sister?”

“The current first place is…”

“Xiao Xingyu.”

For the first time, Murong Yangshuo took notice of this name.

**One minute ago.**

At the cliff’s edge, the wounded Bloodthirsty Lion was cornered by Murong Xinxin, with no way to retreat.

The Bone Wing Bat flapped its wings, the green flames burning brightly, preparing to unleash its ultimate skill.

Just when everyone in the live stream thought that Murong Xinxin would definitely succeed in hunting the Bloodthirsty Lion, a figure flashed by.

“Black Blade, kill!”

A powerful wolf howl echoed across the cliff.

In an instant, a burning wolf claw mark appeared on the already bloodied body of the Bloodthirsty Lion.

Blood gushed from the wound like a fountain.

The Bloodthirsty Lion collapsed heavily to the ground, its eyes wide open in death.

Xiao Xingyu rode his Hellwind Wolf, appearing at the cliff's edge.

Murong Xinxin looked up, their eyes meeting for the first time.

**At the commentary booth.**

Yang Xu stood up excitedly, gripping the microphone and shouting. “This scene is truly dramatic!”

“The biggest dark horse of this trial, Xiao Xingyu, has snatched the kill from Murong Xinxin!”

“Please note, Xiao Xingyu has climbed to the top of the leaderboard!”

On the electronic scoreboard, the standings were displayed.

**First Place:** Xiao Xingyu, 51 kills  

**Second Place:** Murong Xinxin, 50 kills  

**Third Place:** Murong Yangshuo, 41 kills

Xiao Xingyu claimed the top spot by stealing one kill from Murong Xinxin.

In the chat area, viewers were vocal with their opinions.

【This guy is really sneaky!】  

【The Bloodthirsty Lion was already on its last legs; Xiao Xingyu just landed the final blow.】  

【Murong Xinxin was on guard day and night but couldn’t anticipate Xiao Xingyu, the ‘Old Six’!】  

【Both of these are genius monsters; are they about to clash over this?】

**At the cliff’s edge.**

The atmosphere became tense.

Xiao Xingyu wore an innocuous smile. “Thank you, Murong Classmate, for the kill.”

Murong Xinxin’s expression mirrored her brother’s—cold and stiff—as she stared at Xiao Xingyu, silent.

Just then, a rustling sound came from the bushes.

A Three-eyed Ant crawled out.

Yang Xu passionately exclaimed, “So the question arises.”

“Xiao Xingyu and Murong Xinxin lock eyes.”

“The tension in the air suggests that both of them want to claim the Three-eyed Ant’s kill for themselves!”
