Lu Fei hesitated for a moment.
"Alright, how do we do this!"
"Then, please take me out first."
So, Lu Fei and Brother Ji worked together to get the black egg out of the refrigerator. The black egg was somewhat different from when it was put in six months ago. Its black shell was covered in white spots, like a diseased lesion, giving it a dying appearance.
"Please extend one hand and place it on me. I will allow you to pull out a portion of my power source. However, this power is not something just anyone can control, so absorb only a little. Absorbing too much will put your life in danger. Hehehe, my power is extremely wild."
Lu Fei was a bit hesitant. What if this was a trap set by the other party?
But in the end, he decided to try. If what the other party said was true, then he would possess even greater power. Moreover, he controlled the spiritual core himself; if he detected any anomaly, he could stop it immediately.
"Then let's begin."
Black smoke began to rise from the surface of the black egg.
"Please place your hand here."
Lu Fei placed his hand on it. Suddenly, smoke began to be continuously pulled from the surface of the black egg by Lu Fei. This feeling was similar to when Brother Ji had fainted and Lu Fei had pressed his body against it, and his own body's power was being drawn out.
The continuous source of primordial power entered Lu Fei's body, and Lu Fei immediately felt refreshed and invigorated, experiencing an unprecedented sense of exhilaration!
He even felt reluctant to pull his arm away, barely able to hear the black egg's terrifying wails.
"Enough, enough, take your hand away quickly!"
"Help me!"
"Ah!!!"
Lu Fei closed his eyes, his face filled with ecstasy.
It was as if he were a bottomless pit, able to continuously accommodate the primordial power.
Brother Ji sensed something was wrong and abruptly pushed Lu Fei away.
"Lao Lu!"
Lu Fei regained his senses amidst Brother Ji's shouts.
"Brother Ji, that felt amazing just now. I feel like my spiritual core has become incredibly robust!"
Brother Ji's expression was grim. "Look at this black egg, it's almost shattered."
Lu Fei looked over in confusion and saw that the black egg was shrinking at a visible rate. Its previously weak aura was even weaker.
Lu Fei smiled apologetically.
"Sorry, I couldn't hold back."
"Wuw..." The black egg let out a faint sound, looking like it was on its last legs.
Lu Fei didn't hesitate. Apologetically, he took out a Universal Evolution Stone from his spatial ring. Lu Fei carefully examined the stone. It looked ordinary, but Lu Fei knew in his heart that such a stone was priceless and couldn't be measured by money. It was an item that money couldn't buy, and it might be given as a reward at some auctions or associations.
The seven-colored Universal Evolution Stone was placed on top of the black egg. Before long, the Universal Evolution Stone began to emit a strange light. The Universal Evolution Stone, which was originally about the size of a fist, began to dissolve at a visible rate.
Slowly, it shrank to the size of an egg, and finally disappeared from everyone's sight.
Lu Fei's eyes were dazed, feeling a sense of disbelief.
Evolution stones were essential items for contract beasts to evolve. Generally, they were single-attribute evolution stones. For example, fire-attribute contract beasts could evolve by using a fire-attribute evolution stone, and so on.
Of course, in some special cases, such as a contract beast possessing two or more attributes, both attributes would require two evolution stones to achieve evolution.
In Lu Fei's memory, this was the first time he had seen an evolution stone dissolve before his eyes, and he couldn't help but feel surprised.
After the evolution stone disappeared, there was a long period of silence. The white spots on the black egg's shell slowly vanished, and the egg's volume subtly began to become plump again, but the black egg's voice remained weak.
"A long-lost energy aura. Quick, give me a few more."
Lu Fei rolled his eyes.
"Do you think these are beans? I only have one."
The black egg seemed dejected and fell silent again, likely going back to rest.
Lu Fei discussed it with Brother Ji. Since the other party had reached a cooperation agreement with him, it would be inappropriate to throw it back into the refrigerator. After some discussion, they decided to create a small private room in the spatial ring and place the black egg there.
Brother Ji was initially dead set against it, but eventually compromised. The reason was simple: Lu Fei promised to buy it another spatial item, which would serve as Brother Ji's private room in the future!
This was not a difficult matter for the wealthy Boss Lu.
After resting at home for a few days, Lu Fei received a notification from the academy regarding the annual Beast Taming Competition.
Lu Fei returned to the Beast Taming Academy once more.
The meeting was held on the third floor of the academy's comprehensive building. This conference room was usually used for high-level academy meetings, but today it was being used exceptionally because the students participating in the inter-academy competition were all treasures in the eyes of Lin Yuansheng.
When Lu Fei entered the conference room, he found that many people had already arrived. They were all sitting upright, looking a bit reserved. After all, this was their first time attending a meeting of this caliber, and they seemed a bit lost.
Lu Fei recognized a few people: Bai Qianqian, Zhou Tao, and Chen Fan, who had previously invited him to join his team.
Zhou Nanfeng was also attending this meeting today.
Upon seeing Lu Fei enter, Zhou Nanfeng almost stood up. Lu Fei quickly coughed twice, and only then did the latter maintain the dignified posture of the vice-dean.
Although Lu Fei knew everyone present, he wasn't particularly familiar with them. He had interacted with Bai Qianqian a few times, but their encounters were brief. This aloof older sister had left a good impression on Lu Fei.
As for Zhou Tao, if they were to be precise, there was some animosity between them. However, that had long since vanished with his reconciliation with Zhou Nanfeng.
After everyone was seated, Lin Yuansheng entered after a while, accompanied by Lei Mang.
"Heh heh, everyone is quite early."
"Dean."
The teachers and students attending the meeting stood up.
Lin Yuansheng gestured with his hand, signaling everyone to sit down, and then took his seat at the head of the table.
"I've called everyone here today mainly to convey some pre-competition matters."
