"You? You!"
"You're not telling me you actually hunted an Elite Disaster Beast, are you?"
Qian Mengxue immediately picked up the Beast Claw and examined it closely, finally asking with a hint of skepticism.
"Shen Ling, do you always tell me that these are your trophies?"
Shen Ling nodded gently and then summoned Ya Zai directly.
"Senior Sister, I don't know why, but after Ya Zai ate a bunch of red grapes, it turned into this!"
"And with Ya Zai's help, I was able to complete Senior Yan's task."
The moment Ya Zai appeared, Qian Mengxue's attention was drawn to it. She pushed her glasses up slightly and began to analyze.
"Well-built physique, abundant fire elemental energy, normal demeanor—this is an adult Blazing Tiger."
"There's a trace of Disaster Spirit Aura within the fire elemental energy. Could it be?"
As if she had thought of something, Qian Mengxue returned to her seat and opened her computer to start searching.
"Disaster Spirit Plants, Disaster Spirit Crystal, red, fire element..."
After a series of filters, Qian Mengxue's eyes lit up as she murmured to herself.
"This must be it!"
While Shen Ling was still puzzled, a faint smile appeared on Qian Mengxue's face. She adjusted her glasses, and a holographic image materialized in the air.
"Shen Ling, is this what your pet ate?"
Shen Ling focused his gaze and saw that it was indeed the Disaster Spirit Crystal. His eyes widened in disbelief as he felt astonished for the first time by Qian Mengxue's deductive skills.
But soon, Shen Ling regained her composure and nodded gently.
"Exactly!"
Qian Mengxue continued to explain, quickly attributing everything to luck.
Just when Shen Ling thought the matter was settled, Qian Mengxue spoke again.
"By the way, I’ve discovered a potential evolutionary direction for the Blazing Tiger. If the research succeeds, the Blazing Tiger might become even stronger. However, I don’t have enough time, and since you don’t have any research projects at the moment, I think this task should be handed over to you."
"As long as it’s needed for the experiment, we will do our best to provide you with the materials you need. If we really find a mature evolutionary path, you won’t have to worry about resources for your Blazing Tiger's future growth."
Shen Ling felt tempted but remembered that Yan Wudao had arranged for her to participate in training camp, so she couldn’t help but voice her concerns.
"But Senior Sister, Senior Brother has already arranged my training mission at City Guard. I might not be able to take on this project..."
"Training? That doesn’t conflict with your research on the Blazing Tiger’s evolutionary direction. You can train during the day and research at night."
Thus, under Qian Mengxue's half-threat and half-encouragement, Shen Ling became the head of the research project on the evolutionary path of the Blazing Tiger.
Moreover, Qian Mengxue thoughtfully arranged for Shen Ling to have an independent laboratory located within the Secondary Disaster Beast Breeding Base, granting her access to it as well.
After receiving the key, Shen Ling hurried to the Secondary Disaster Beast Breeding Base and immediately entered her own laboratory.
Inside the Breeding Base, various personnel were coming and going, but as soon as Shen Ling stepped into her laboratory, everything fell silent.
Though the laboratory wasn’t equipped with too many devices, it was spacious—about a hundred square meters—enough for Ya Zai to frolic around.
After confirming there were no surveillance devices inside, Shen Ling locked the door tightly and summoned Xiao Hei.
She dumped all of today’s findings onto Xiao Hei and then began a long wait.

After the enhancement, Xiao Hei's combat power had soared to 266. However, Shen Ling showed no change in expression; he merely nodded slightly before putting Xiao Hei into the Contract Space and leaving the laboratory.
As for the evolution path of the Blazing Tiger? Shen Ling already had the evolution route from Blazing Tiger to Flame Tiger in his mind, so there was nothing to worry about.
Upon returning to his dormitory, Shen Ling decided not to think about anything and fell into a deep sleep.
The next day, Shen Ling woke up early and arrived at the City Guard, but the training members had not yet gathered. To his surprise, he spotted a familiar face in the crowd—Zhou Liang.
The two exchanged a knowing glance before quickly averting their eyes.
Once everyone had arrived, the training began. The instructor was a captain-level figure, though Shen Ling had no recollection of him.
The so-called training was essentially about imparting some outdoor survival skills.
It included bits of knowledge gleaned from the blood of predecessors and methods for dealing with common catastrophe beasts.
For Shen Ling, who had seven years of experience surviving in the apocalypse, this training felt like child’s play. At that moment, he found himself in complete agreement with Yan Wudao’s opinion.
A true warrior can only grow through battle.
Thus, Shen Ling continued his daytime training and the monotonous life in the laboratory at night until this routine changed two weeks later.
Having grown accustomed to arriving early at the training base, Shen Ling noticed something was off today.
Why was the City Guard so quiet?
The usually bustling sentry posts were now completely deserted, leaving only the trainees at the training ground.
After waiting for all the students to arrive, there was still no sign of the instructor.
“What’s going on today? Why haven’t the instructors shown up yet?”
“This is strange; it’s my first time encountering this. Could it be that the instructors are late?”
In the empty training field, whispers began to circulate among the group. However, after a long wait without any conclusions, just as they continued to murmur among themselves...
“Silence!”
A man appeared, his face marred by a deep scar that ran across it. His silver hair did not make him look old; instead, it added an air of sharpness and coldness. Upon seeing him, Shen Ling's expression shifted slightly but quickly returned to normal.
The person in question was none other than the former Dragon City Ten Kings, Wolf King Zhang Luo.
He was also the Chief Commander of the City Guard, the highest military authority in Dragon City. Although he was over fifty years old, he remained the strongest force in Dragon City during the early days of the apocalypse.
In his past life, he died during an operation to suppress a Beast Tide, and he was the only one to be posthumously honored as one of the Ten Kings after his death, a Soul Contract Practitioner.
Faced with this powerful figure who had made significant contributions to Dragon City, Shen Ling couldn't help but feel a sense of respect rising within him.
“Code A-49 has reported an outbreak of Beast Tide in the Disaster Zone. The City Guard has already been dispatched to suppress it. Today's training is canceled. Those who wish to participate in the operation should depart immediately for the East District. The second batch of City Guard from the million-strong Disaster Zone is already prepared.”
As soon as Zhang Luo finished speaking, a small earthquake seemed to ripple through the hearts of everyone present.
“Beast Tide? An outbreak?”
“After all this training, we finally get a mission!”
The students rubbed their hands together, eager to take action. However, knowing the terror of the Beast Tide, Shen Ling's eyes were clouded with a layer of shadow.
