"Although our Shazhou Beast Taming University was established relatively recently, we’ve seen explosive growth these past few years..."

Xue Huaiyu came after Zhou Chubin. Like him, she didn’t immediately discuss recruitment conditions when she started. Instead, she first introduced some information about Shazhou Beast Taming University.

"Because we’re in a remote region surrounded by deserts, the environment is relatively harsh... However, that’s also our school’s advantage. In this environment, the area has produced a large number of Wind and Earth Attribute Pet Beasts, some of which are even unique to our school..."

Unlike Zhou Chubin, her presentation was more objective. She didn’t just cherry-pick the good points; she also mentioned Shazhou Beast Taming University’s weaknesses.

In fact, Shazhou Beast Taming University’s disadvantages were glaringly obvious. Li Qian was well aware of them even without Xue Huaiyu mentioning them.

Her admitting this herself, on the other hand, made her seem more forthright and scored her major points in his eyes.

"...If you choose to attend Shazhou Beast Taming University, in addition to the previously mentioned conditions, we can also, free of charge, help your father’s Land Bear evolve into an extremely rare Pet Beast with Dominator Level Potential: the Gold and Earth Dual Element Titan Giant Bear!"

"Your mother’s Gray Bean Dove can also evolve into our Western Province’s unique Sky Escape... Cloud-piercing Goose!"

Whether it was an honest mistake or a deliberate slip of the tongue on Xue Huaiyu’s part, Li Qian heard it loud and clear.

And because he’d heard it so clearly, he cut in immediately. "Wait. If I didn’t mishear you, you were about to say Sky Escape Eagle, weren’t you?"

Although the Sky Escape Eagle and the Cloud-piercing Goose were both avian Pet Beasts, the difference between them was like heaven and earth. 𝘧𝘳𝘦ℯ𝓌𝘦𝒷𝘯𝑜𝑣𝘦𝓁.𝒸𝘰𝓂

The Cloud-piercing Goose’s Racial Potential was only at the Commander Level. Even at Commander Peak, it was still just a Commander. At best, it was slightly better than the common Storm Eagle, but there was no fundamental difference.

The Sky Escape Eagle, however, was different. Unlike the Cloud-piercing Goose’s Wind Attribute, it possessed the extremely rare Spatial Attribute.

Its Potential was naturally beyond comparison to the Cloud-piercing Goose; it was on par with the Cyan-Scaled Flood Dragon, reaching Mid-Tier Dominator.

In actual combat, it might even be trickier to handle than a Cyan-Scaled Flood Dragon. Because it was a Space Element type, the Sky Escape Eagle’s speed was incredible.

It could even perform Instant Teleportation and spatial jumps, making it impossible to defend against. Even when facing stronger opponents, it could retreat with ease.

This was precisely why, the moment Xue Huaiyu let the two words "Sky Escape" slip, Li Qian had reacted instantly and questioned her directly.

If his mother’s Gray Bean Dove could evolve into a Sky Escape Eagle, she might even have the potential to become a Dominator Level Beast Master in the future.

Most importantly, it would solve their security problem in one fell swoop. Li Qian would no longer have to worry about her personal safety.

"My apologies, that was a slip of the tongue. The evolution method from Gray Bean Dove to Sky Escape Eagle has indeed been worked out by our school’s Professor Yan."

Seeing that Li Qian had brought up the "Sky Escape Eagle" himself, Xue Huaiyu didn’t hide the truth. "However," she said frankly, "this breakthrough was primarily Professor Yan’s achievement, so I can’t make any promises without his approval."

Li Qian glanced at Xue Huaiyu, then said in a firm voice, "I’m willing to trade. Whether it’s the Cyan-Scaled Flood Dragon or the Frostfire Salamander, as long as you can help my mother’s Gray Bean Dove evolve into a Sky Escape Eagle, Professor Yan can take his pick of the two."

He had been searching constantly during this period and had managed to learn about the Land Bear’s evolutionary paths through some of his connections.

The Titan Giant Bear was one such path. Though it was rare, Li Qian believed that helping his father’s Land Bear evolve wouldn’t be a problem, as long as he was willing to offer sufficient benefits.

Even if it couldn’t become the Gold and Earth Dual Element Titan Giant Bear, it could still evolve into other bear-type Pet Beasts with comparable Potential.

But this Sky Escape Eagle was something he had truly never seen or heard of before. He was convinced this had to be a brand-new evolutionary path just discovered by Professor Yan at Shazhou Beast Taming University.

Compared to the Sky Escape Eagle, the other Evolutionary Forms clearly paled. Li Qian was sure that Xue Huaiyu’s "slip of the tongue" had been intentional.

If that was the case, it meant the Sky Escape Eagle matter was negotiable. Otherwise, her deliberate ’slip’ would have been pointless. That’s why Li Qian laid his terms on the table directly.

As for simply agreeing to attend Shazhou Beast Taming University, he conveniently ignored that part.

Xue Huaiyu wasn’t annoyed at not getting a definite answer from Li Qian. With a smile, she sent a relatively clear signal. "Alright, I will discuss this with Professor Yan. I’m sure he’ll be interested in either the Cyan-Scaled Flood Dragon or the Frostfire Salamander."

Li Qian understood. Setting the issue of his recruitment aside, trading either a Cyan-Scaled Flood Dragon or a Frostfire Salamander for the method to evolve his mother’s Gray Bean Dove into a Sky Escape Eagle was a deal Professor Yan couldn’t possibly lose on.

After Xue Huaiyu from Shazhou Beast Taming University came Ai Xiaolian from Mizhou Beast Taming University. She could only give a helpless, wry smile at having been scheduled last.

After sitting down, she began to introduce Mizhou Beast Taming University. "Li Qian, our Mizhou Beast Taming University is located in the southwest, bordering Jiangnan Province. It’s not too far from Lingshui City..."

"This time, in visiting you, Li Qian, I’ve brought an offer of unparalleled sincerity..."
