Before taming the fox...
As if recalling something, Yu Ziyu began to manipulate the branch.
"Snick..."
With the branch snapping, a drop of green liquid oozed out.
This was some essence flowing inside Yu Ziyu's body.
Its exact effect was unknown to him.
However, seeing the injured red fox, Yu Ziyu started to make some plans.
If this essence was beneficial to the red fox, then taming it would not be difficult.
If this essence turned out to be poison, then Yu Ziyu could only say "what a pity" to the fox.
After all, this was just a passing interest of his.
...
With a drip, the liquid from the broken branch condensed into a drop and fell onto the red fox's head.
To Yu Ziyu's astonishment, the red fox twitched slightly.
Then, as if stimulated, it suddenly crouched low to the ground.
"Gak..."
It let out a duck-like cry, its sharp claws tearing into the earth.
"Scratch, scratch..."
Deep grooves were carved into the soil.
At this moment, Yu Ziyu noticed the red fox's claws seemed to have split into multiple parts, looking even sharper.
Even more incredible, the red fox's body was growing.
How long had it been?
The one-meter-long red fox had stretched to over one and a half meters, resembling a cheetah.
But compared to a cheetah, it looked more elegant, dragging fiery fur that flickered like flames, its deep red eyes burning like fire—dazzlingly brilliant.
"Is this evolution?"
With some puzzlement, Yu Ziyu glanced at the broken branch.
"Uh..."
Looking at the now yellowed and partially uncontrollable branch, his heart jumped.
Oh no.
Could it be that extracting this essence affected his own body?
Luckily, it was just one branch; if it had been most of the branches, Yu Ziyu might have cried.
But now, he began to suspect that the essence flowing within him might be the physical manifestation of his Evolution Points.
After all, the biggest advantage of Evolution Points was that Yu Ziyu could fully control himself.
Losing the essence caused his control over this branch to drop sharply.
Though he could still manipulate it, the power was weak; he could no longer whip with the might to shatter stone.
"Maybe time will compensate for the loss of this branch."
Thinking it over, Yu Ziyu guessed aloud.
...
After a while, a red fox the size of a small calf affectionately stuck out its tongue to lick the branch Yu Ziyu extended.
That was what animals were like.
Bound by instinct, they lacked the complex thoughts humans had.
If you treated them well or helped them, they would grow close to you.
Now, this red fox, which had evolved thanks to some of Yu Ziyu's essence, was like that.
But it was worth mentioning that this red fox was more than a mere wild beast.
Its red fur flared like flames,
Its calf-sized body was not only strong but also radiated the beauty of power.
More importantly, the fox's eyes now blazed like rising flames, growing ever more brilliant.
At that moment, as if noticing something, Yu Ziyu's gaze suddenly sharpened.
Following his line of sight, above the red fox appeared a glowing screen, much like his own attribute panel.
[Race: Mutated Red Fox
Age: 3/20 years
Rank: Entry Level 4
Special Ability: Enchanting Gaze — These dazzling eyes are a precious treasure in the world, possessing mysterious powers of allure.]
"Rank? Entry Level?"
Seeing these new terms, Yu Ziyu was a bit puzzled.
But moments later, as if recalling something, Yu Ziyu's awareness snapped back to himself.
[Race: Mutated Willow
Lifespan: 0.4/100 years
Evolution Points: 0.2 (Acquisition method: absorbing unknown energy through sunlight exposure; second, by plundering other animals and plants for extraction.)
Rank: Entry Level 9
Special Abilities: Mutated Branch (50) — Like an arm servant, whipping like the wind.
Mutated Root (9) — A terrifying black root like a giant python, capable of strangling anything.]
Indeed, he didn't know when he had gained a rank evaluation.
And it was Entry Level 9!
But given that he could now easily suppress the red fox, being four ranks higher than it was understandable.
And this "Entry Level"?
Could it mean that future rank evaluations would be Level 1, Level 2...
Thinking it over, Yu Ziyu nodded in agreement.
If that was the case, future ranks would be straightforward and intuitive.
...
Uh... wait, something seemed off.
Suddenly, Yu Ziyu's heart jumped again.
Emmmmmm...
Wasn't this leading toward the realm of the extraordinary?
Thinking this, Yu Ziyu's heart gave a sharp jolt.
Sure enough, this world was strange.
It was somewhat like the dawn of the Spiritual Awakening era, when everything was evolving toward the extraordinary.
For example, this red fox, and also his willow tree.
And recently, the golden eagle soaring in the sky that sometimes watched him.
