149 Return VI

Glob! Glob!

The sound of something boiling could be heard. In a wooden hut, two large cauldrons filled with nothing but boiling water was seen, being stirred. Two young men, Ye Qin and Wang Tao were awaiting the right moment for their preparations to be complete.

After a while, they added various rare plants and other things into the cauldrons. They stirred everything, making sure it was done perfectly without any mishaps.

"It's ready, get in." Ye Qin said.

Sun Zhan nodded, the two golden apes jumped back into the cauldrons, as they rolled up into balls, and slowly turned into a stone. As a few more ingredients were added, lids were gently placed over the top.

Three hours later, golden light erupted from both cauldrons, almost spilling the contents. Ye Qin and Wang Tao took the lids off, and shut out the flames under the cauldrons.

From within, two golden stones flew out and appeared in front of Sun Zhan. A heavenly and powerful energy was emitting from both stones. Instantly, they shone, blinding everyone, as the stones started to change shape.

The golden stones grew in size, as they started to form two monkeys that looked similar.

Roar!

A powerful roar resounded from the bodies of the two monkeys, even without them actually doing it themselves. A powerful energy surged, as the two took complete shape and appeared before their master once again.

That's right. Ye Qin and Wang Tao had increased both monster's grades to Legendary. Now, they were almost on par with Long Bing Rong's dragons. With a few more levels, they may not necessarily lose out to her.

This time, Ye Qin and Wang Tao not only used their reward for such items, they also paid a hefty price for them. The rarest things were for Long Bing Rong, as well as Sun Zhan, leaving almost nothing left for the two of them.

With their new powers, the two have surpassed them by a large margin. If they were to battle again, the results would be the opposite way, unless Ye Qin uses his powerful abilities from the start.

Now that their job was over, the two of them had nothing to worry about. They could now head off back to the Abandoned lands at any time. Sun Zhan, Long Bing Rong, the the peak master all stared at the two monkeys.

Even Wang Tao did so as well. The three of them could feel a much more powerful aura coming from the apes, compared to just a few hours ago. A single idea came to their minds at the same time.

Increased grade!

Not only did the two brothers help to evolve them, they also directly improved their grades! In their generation, it was almost impossible for anyone else to compete against him.

Of course, this was only true in China, the world was vast, many hidden dragons and crouching tigers could be hiding within the other countries. Within the next few years, many things would occur.

Whether it was the World Youth Tournament or WYT, which is held every ten years, an event that is many times grander than the World Cup or even the Olympics of the past.

What was the WYT? It was where a group of every nation's greatest youth all come together and formed a team in order to compete against the other countries. It was an exciting event that gained attraction from the entire world. Media channels and social media would talk about it all day every time it was held.

During the past three tournaments, China had been ranked very low on the list. It was quite fortunate that they weren't at the very bottom of the list, nevertheless, as one of the world's biggest countries, it was a little embarrassing to place so low.

In the past, China had always ranked amongst the top twenty, even if not in the top ten. With the next tournament coming up in just three years, Ye Qin and Wang Tao needed to increase their strength as fast as possible.

Not only that, once they reached their third year, they would be allowed to participate in an expedition in the Monster Realm. Currently, they already had the qualifications to join, but since they were only in their first year, they didn't want to head off yet.

Once they came back, the WYT would just be around the corner, giving them little time to prepare. With this in mind, Ye Qin and Wang Tao decided to head off the very next day, it seemed like Long Bing Rong would be joining them this time.

When they asked, she only said that she gained permission, and nothing more. With her there, it would be a smoother journey for them. Of course, they would still need to rely on themselves to quickly grow.

Not only did they need to grow quickly, they also had things to do. Whether it was to explore all the ruins, given by the Mermen King, or to researching the crystals they had found within the ruins.

They also wanted to find the missing materials that they needed to evolve their partners and also increase their grades. The ingredients they have currently, were not enough. Many rare things were still missing, which even the headmasters of the universities themselves didn't have either.

The things needed for the two of them were even more rare and hard to find than Long Bing Rong and Sun Zhan's things. Of course, with Sun Zhan, the Great Sage's blood was a wonder in its own, allowing for a new pathway for them.

When Ye Qin had observed the Blackgold Python Tiger, he realized it had three different branches of evolution. One of them, was to continue its current strengths, relying on elemental powers, while another was to rely more on physical prowess.

The final branch was the toughest. It required the most materials, as well as the hardest ones to obtain. The system only gave him question marks when he tried to go into more detail, it was the only unknown factor.

Whatever it was, Ye Qin knew that it was the one he was going for, directly improving Wang Tao's strength by a huge leap once again.
