Chapter 212: Chapter 185 Nightfire Underworld Lotus
```
However, why didn't Taotie's energy level limit increase after consuming high-level carnivorous pet food?
Is it because its energy level has already reached 100?
Above one hundred is transcendence, could it be there's a threshold between transcendence and below transcendence?
But Chen Xing felt that wasn't quite right; it seemed more like Sìxiàng had fused different bloodlines, and the conflicts between the bloodlines within had become diluted.
Forget it, we'll know when we feed Dong Jun the high-level carnivorous pet food.
But so much food was eaten today.
The nutrition inside Sìxiàng's body was almost abundant enough to explode.
It was as if a beast that had achieved fleshly transcendence was entirely consumed.
Normally, such rich flesh and blood couldn't possibly fit in one's stomach.
But perhaps it's because of the special method used to make the high-level carnivorous pet food.
Even after eating it all, Sìxiàng seemed to still be in a good state.
Only its eyes were slightly squinted, appearing a bit drowsy.
After checking the breeding farm and confirming that the Twin-fiend Dogs were all right, Chen Xing prepared to go upstairs to his room.
Dong Jun was lying in the living room, with the TV on.
Dong Jun was slouching against the wall, staring intently at the shiny screen of the TV.
Initially, he was just fascinated by the glowing screen, but after watching a while longer, Dong Jun gradually got immersed in the entertaining plot of the TV show.
Chen Xing halted before going upstairs, turned back, and glanced at the program playing on the TV.
In the bottom left corner, eight bold characters: "Prohibition Magic Duck Adventure in Exotic Region."
Just from the name, one could tell it was a low-age Beast Tamer show designed for beast tamers.
"Don't watch too late, go to sleep early," Chen Xing advised Dong Jun, then went upstairs to his own room.
Opened the Universe APP.
As expected, the Universe Commerce Guild also had a branch in the Exotic Region.
And there was even a signal inside the school.
Checked the price for Black and White Mystic Chickens, and it was considerably cheaper compared to buying them in Jinzhou, almost half the price.
Chen Xing thought for a moment, then directly ordered a hundred.
It was also time to raise the magic power limits of the three tamed beasts to the extreme tenfold.
After placing the order, the delivery would arrive the next day.
After turning off the lights, Chen Xing prepared to go to bed and sleep.
Outside the balcony window, Sìxiàng was standing on the metal rod extended from the balcony.
Its wings were folded, enveloping its body, with its eagle head drooping and buried in its chest.
From afar, it looked like a giant black egg.
Suddenly, Sìxiàng's aura broke through violently, and a black flame unexpectedly emerged on its body.
In the darkness, the black flame eerily flickered, as if it were swallowing all the light in the surroundings.
...
The next day, the Black and White Mystic Chicken takeout was delivered.
Chen Xing had Sìxiàng handle the chicken cleaning.
"Wait a minute."
Chen Xing stopped Sìxiàng; he noticed Sìxiàng seemed a bit different today compared to yesterday.
Chen Xing opened the panel.
My word.
[Energy Level]66.9
The energy level surged by two levels overnight, from 64.9 to 66.9.
Suddenly, the number jumped to 67.
It seemed the high-level carnivorous pet food that had been consumed was still being digested, and the energy level was continuing to grow.
And every time the energy level increased by 5 levels, a new skill would be awakened.

Energy Level 65 Awakened Advanced Skill: Nightfire Underworld Lotus
Chen Xing gave it some thought and found it strange. The Fire Attribute bloodline inherited from the Darkfall Ming Eagle did not include this skill in the potential skill pool it could awaken.
Could it be a newly discovered skill that had not been identified in the bloodline skill library of this clan?
By name, it seemed to be a Fire Attribute advanced skill.
The range of the Sìxiàng's Attribute attacks just became broader.
Chen Xing searched online, and quickly found information related to the Nightfire Underworld Lotus skill.
To his surprise, it turned out to be a complex advanced skill with both Dark and Fire Attributes.
There was also a video demonstrating the effects of the skill online.
In the footage, a majestic dark-furred demon dog stood tall, its gaping maw open as it howled up towards the sky.
At the same time, a lotus emitting a deep purple-black light slowly formed, carrying a destructive force that slammed into a distant mountain peak.
The lotus landed precisely in the middle of the mountain, instantly erupting in intense flames that lit up half the sky.
The camera shifted, zooming in closer.
The mountainside collapsed, and vast swathes of trees were reduced to ashes.
Right at the epicenter of the skill's impact, a huge crater had formed.
Within the crater, the rocks scorched by the high temperature turned into shimmering crystals.
Moreover, a large number of stones were stained black.
This was the result of dense Dark Energy corrosion, causing the color to change in a short time.
The skill's power seemed quite considerable, although, of course, the power of the skill also depended on the Energy Level of the user.
The demon dog Beast Tamer in the video must have been a Transcendent Tamed Beast.
"The awakened new skill isn't bad; I can practice it when there's time, but I'll need to find a place where there are fewer people," Chen Xing instructed Sìxiàng.
Sìxiàng nodded.
A deep voice responded, "Master, then I shall go deal with those chickens."
Chen Xing nodded, "Go ahead."
...
"Little Chen, the project you applied for has been approved. It's a C-level project, the Twin-fiend Dogs' evolution research. Although there's no venue, there's funding of ten thousand Spirit Gold."
Han Yuning sent a message to Chen Xing.
"This Spirit Gold can only be used for related research. I'll give you the access later, and you can purchase whatever materials you need directly through the research project fund account."
Chen Xing felt a warmth in his heart; he had thought the mentor was just saying it, but he actually applied for a project for him.
Yesterday, he checked the handbook and the forums, and although each mentor could apply for several projects at the same time,
a failed project application would lower the mentor's evaluation.
It would affect the mentor's future promotions and new project applications.
Han Yuning continued to send messages: "If you really want to research monster evolution, you could learn some related knowledge. I can also recommend someone to you."
Chen Xing was puzzled, "Aren't you going to research with me, Mentor?"
There was silence from the mentor's side for a while.
"I'm not very good at researching this area, but I have a friend who is a genius in this field. She has already developed eighty-seven new evolution paths and has improved twenty-five existing ones."
Chen Xing was astonished just hearing that number.
Eighty-seven evolution paths developed?
What an impressive feat.
Han Yuning said, "I've already spoken to her, and if you really want to train the Twin-fiend Dogs well, you can give it a try. If you can discover a new evolution path, it will help with your graduation. With the subjects Material Knowledge and Beast Taming Evolution, you could even graduate early."
One of the conditions for graduation was that all ten major subjects had to be completed. Explore more at m,v l'e-NovelBin.net

All ten major subjects, completed.
And amassing 100 academic credits.
Then one could graduate from Jiuzhou University and obtain the diploma.
