Xiao Jie let out a long sigh of relief in his heart and hurriedly opened the skill bar to check.
[Demon Beast Evolution (Profession Skill)
Evolution Ceremony (Cooling down): When your beast form triggers the corresponding conditions, you can initiate the evolution ceremony. Upon completion, you can obtain the corresponding demon beast transformation. This effect can only be triggered once a day.
Note: You can view the specific trigger conditions for the evolution ceremony of each demon beast in [Beast Knowledge: Demon Beast Chapter] (only viewable for demon beasts with an illustrated book).
Skill Introduction: A beast’s instinctive application of nature’s spiritual energy and sun and moon essence, thus becoming a demon beast. Through long observation and research, the demon refiner finally mastered the secrets, fighting like a beast, struggling to survive, seeking life within death, seeking evolution in desperate situations.
This is a high-level skill of the demon refiner, only mastered by a few. ]
Oh, so demon beast evolution requires specific conditions to trigger before it can be used... Xiao Jie thought to himself, indeed he oversimplified things. He initially thought it was a skill that, when used, could transform decay into the miraculous, evolving the beast directly into a demon beast.
Turns out a bit more effort is required.
As for the trigger conditions — Xiao Jie hurriedly opened Beast Knowledge and clicked on the Demon Beast Chapter.
The illustrated books here of demon beasts are all those he has fought before or has long-term contact with, for instance — Howling Moon Grey Wolf. It’s unlocked because of frequent contact with Master Xiao Yue and the Grey Wolf Guards of Xiao Yue Palace.
Demon beasts with an illustrated book will have the corresponding evolution ceremony trigger conditions appear in their description.
While those without a demon beast illustrated book are shrouded in darkness.
Wolf Clan: A wild race of wolves living in the wilderness, divided into multiple subspecies based on habitat, generally possessing pack attributes, and can evolve into wolf demons.

Tiger: Powerful predators, fierce beasts living in mountain ranges.
Evolution Ceremony 1: Mountain Overlord...
Initiate evolution [Mountain Lord].
Evolution Ceremony 2: Tiger Demon Soul Suppressing...
Evolve into demon beast [Spirit-devouring Demon Tiger]...
Xiao Jie examined the trigger conditions for demon beast transformations in these illustrated books.
The more he looked, the more amazed he became, didn’t expect demon beast evolution to have more than one evolution option, and among them were some special existences not belonging to the demon race.
For instance, the carp’s Fish Leaping over the Dragon Gate, transforming into Golden-Scaled Dragon Son — Wow, directly a dragon transformation!
However, the difficulty is probably not ordinary, and it can only be done in carp form, making the difficulty even more absurd.
But having a direction of effort at least gives hope, at least there are several he has confidence to complete, as long as he can get the prerequisite beast transformation skills, theoretically a demon beast transformation is within reach.
Moreover, there’s corresponding innate demon techniques to acquire for free, this demon beast evolution skill is absolutely worth it, this exhaustive endeavor finally paid off.
Quite good, quite good!
Xiao Jie checked the Howling Moon Grey Wolf’s transformation effects again.
[Howling Moon Grey Wolf Transformation (Third-tier Demon Skill)

Quite good, quite good, attribute augmentations aren’t as exaggerated as the Jiao Long Transformation, but already quite impressive.
Moreover, all four basic attributes increased by more than double, truly powerful.
Even spirituality received a 100% augmentation, under the Howling Moon Grey Wolf form, although unable to use saber skill, the combat power is absolutely elevated.
At this moment, Xiao Jie looked at his nearly two thousand blood volume being fully regenerated, feeling full of security.
Xiao Jie nodded in satisfaction, worthy of a demon beast indeed.
Just then, a black shadow also leapt up behind him, it was the pursuing presence, the demon ape suddenly fell behind Xiao Jie. Although not very large in size, it brought immense oppression.
Xiao Jie had experienced the power of this demon ape before, hurriedly assumed a defensive posture, that demon ape almost scared him out of his wits, several times nearly getting him killed.
Even though he had transformed into Howling Moon Grey Wolf, with attribute doubling, Xiao Jie didn’t have much confidence to battle it.
