A barrage of questions came at Shen Ling like a rapid-fire cannon, causing him to awkwardly smile.
"Senior Sister, I have indeed exchanged quite a bit of materials through Score, but I'm still missing the heart of a Leader-Level Fire Attribute Disaster Beast. As for the success rate, I haven't calculated it!"
Shen Ling's awkward smile led Qian Mengxue to misunderstand his intentions.
It seemed he was just hoping for a lucky break.
This was understandable; using an exhaustive method could certainly reveal an evolutionary path. However, did Shen Ling plan to experiment on that Blazing Tiger?
Well, since Shen Ling had this idea, it wouldn't hurt to let him try once.
After he failed, I could remind him!
With that thought in mind, Qian Mengxue gently adjusted her glasses and said softly, "The heart of a Leader-Level Fire Elemental Disaster Beast is quite simple. I'll arrange for someone to deliver it to your laboratory shortly. Don't feel pressured; failure is the mother of success!"
Though Qian Mengxue spoke earnestly, Shen Ling remained unaffected.
Failure?
There was only a 0.01% chance of that happening.
Besides, with his previous experience of evolving the Flame Tiger and being better prepared this time around, coupled with Ya Zai's significantly stronger abilities in this life, failure seemed unlikely.
Naturally, Shen Ling instinctively ignored Qian Mengxue's reminder.
Qian Mengxue showed no signs of surprise as she gently adjusted her glasses, a blue light sweeping across the screen to reveal Ya Zai's data before her.

Staring at the impressive data, Qian Mengxue found herself momentarily speechless, unable to utter a single word.
After a moment, she scrutinized Shen Ling from head to toe several times with a discerning gaze.
"Damn!"
All her thoughts condensed into that one exclamation, and then Qian Mengxue couldn't help but marvel.
"Shen Ling, I truly doubt whether this catastrophe beast is the Blazing Tiger I raised. It has actually surpassed the limits of leader-level combat power!"
In response to Qian Mengxue's skepticism, Shen Ling simply smiled lightly and moved on.
"Perhaps it's my luck that I chose Ya Zai at that time, and during the Beast Tide Mission, I also acquired many Supreme Strengthening Resources."
"Regardless, Ya Zai has great potential. Even if the evolution fails, it's worth continuing to nurture it!"
Qian Mengxue didn't forget to give Shen Ling a warning, hoping to prevent Shen Ling from being disheartened if Ya Zai's evolution did not succeed.
"Sister, we've made some strange discoveries!"
Suddenly, Yan Wudao's voice came from outside Qian Mengxue's office, followed by several others appearing together. Besides Yan Wudao, there were also some captain-level figures, seemingly members of The Current Death Squad.
Shen Ling immediately sensed something unusual in the air, but he knew that at such a moment, it must be something important.
"Sister, I'll head to the laboratory first!"
"Alright!"
After Shen Ling had been gone for a while, a loud roar suddenly erupted from Qian Mengxue's office.
Though Shen Ling was puzzled, he suppressed his curiosity.
In the laboratory, Shen Ling summoned Ya Zai and began to adjust his own condition.
A few hours later.
Bang bang!
The door of the laboratory was knocked on. When it opened, a girl in a white lab coat handed Shen Ling a Black Box.
"Mr. Shen, this is the heart of the Leader-Level Fire Attribute Disaster Beast, Explosive Hound. Please take it!"
Upon opening the box, a rich wave of fire elemental energy surged forth, and Shen Ling smiled sincerely in response.
"Thank you!"
After closing the door, Shen Ling took out the resources needed for evolution one by one: Burning Blood Grass, Fire Spirit Crystal, Yang Yan Flower, Gene Induction Agent, and a bottle of unused Fire Element Enhancement Potion.
"Ya Zai!"
Shen Ling's voice turned unusually serious. Ya Zai understood what was about to happen and, abandoning its usual playful demeanor, lay down earnestly beside Shen Ling.
"Ya Zai, are you ready?"
Roar!
Ya Zai's voice was deep and calm, devoid of any tremor.
Evolution!
At this moment, Ya Zai had been waiting for a long time. Although it was in a different Contract Space from Xiao Hei, Ya Zai could still sense the terrifying strength emanating from Xiao Hei.
It was precisely because of this that Ya Zai's pursuit of power had nearly become an obsession.
Become stronger! Become stronger!
It wanted to be the strongest beast for its master!
With this belief supporting it, Ya Zai was already prepared.
"Alright! Let's begin!"
Shen Ling first pierced the heart of the Explosive Hound, squeezing out the remaining blood inside and feeding it entirely to Ya Zai.
Then, he used that blood to imprint a summoning array on the ground, enveloping Ya Zai within it.
The Gene Induction Agent and Fire Element Potion were also swallowed by Ya Zai. With such a massive influx of energy, an imbalance of fire elements erupted within Ya Zai's body!
However, Ya Zai forcibly suppressed it, minimizing the fluctuations of energy.
Countless red streams of light gradually appeared, wrapping around Ya Zai. Shen Ling knew that the cocooning was for advancement, and the opportunity for evolution was at this moment.
In the final second before the red Giant Cocoon fully formed, Shen Ling threw the Fire Spirit Crystal into it, while simultaneously forcing Sunflare Flower and Burning Blood Grass into Ya Zai's mouth.
Inside the deep red Giant Cocoon, a low yet powerful pumping sound echoed; it was Ya Zai's strong heartbeat.
Beneath the Giant Cocoon, the Black-Red array etched in blood connected with Shen Ling's Contract Space, allowing him to monitor Ya Zai's condition at any moment.
Ten hours passed.
During this time, Shen Ling did not leave the laboratory or close his eyes even once; his stamina was entirely restored by Stamina Potions.
Just before dawn the next day, the Black-Red Giant Cocoon suddenly trembled!
Crack!
A fissure abruptly opened in the Giant Cocoon. Through that crack, Shen Ling could faintly sense the vigorous life force within the cocoon.
Had he succeeded?
Shen Ling let out a long sigh of relief. Just then, the fissure on the Giant Cocoon rapidly expanded and ultimately shattered with a loud crash.
The proud new form of Ya Zai was revealed.
Ya Zai's entire body transformed into a mix of red and white, with a faint red flame replacing its fur, slowly burning across its body.
Its overall size inexplicably shrank by a quarter.
Standing just over one and a half meters tall and about two and a half meters long, it looked less like an evolution and more like a regression.
The royal symbol on Ya Zai's forehead vanished, replaced by a Deep Red Crystal that sparkled brighter than the most radiant jewels in the world.
The tip of its tail inexplicably ignited with a pale purple flame, contrasting sharply with the surrounding red yet adding an unexpected touch of beauty.
It was finally successful!
After waiting for over ten hours without closing his eyes, Shen Ling could no longer contain his joy and fainted in the laboratory.
