Yuan Hu wasn't blind.
He had noticed the changes in You Yan Yue Huang and the others last night.
Anos had evolved to Interdiate-level, but what exactly did it evolve into? Don't ask, he'd just say he hadn't read much.
Fire Her Vakili had evolved to General-level.
What did it evolve into?
Even scientists specializing in endangered and extinct Transcendent creatures probably only had a partial understanding of this species.
What could he, an unremarkable university associate dean, possibly know?
Besides the two that evolved, You Yan Yue Huang, Luo Jingtian, Ling Tianzi, and Brocade Leaf Asura all had various changes.
He had previously speculated that Mingxi must have obtained so kind of heavenly material and earthly treasure in the Devil's Sea that could enhance wings and bones, and in large quantities, too, allowing all her Pet Beasts to receive a powerful boost.
Now, seeing Brocade Leaf Asura suddenly able to fly, his guess was further confird.
"Sunset Demon Spirit is incapacitated! Mingxi VS Harry Robert, score 1:0! The second round begins! Both Beast Tars summon your Pet Beasts!"
The referee's voice quelled the various commotions.
Mingxi didn't even lift an eyelid; the fact that she hadn't closed her eyes and was treating the command stage like a bed was already the greatest respect she could show for this match. On the battle stage was still the 'old but strong' Erald Green.
And seeing the girl's disrespectful deanor, Harry Robert, feeling utterly humiliated, was filled with anger and resentnt.
His gaze grew increasingly sinister.
But even if his eyes could truly spew venom, what could he do?
Could he really poison Mingxi to death?
"Player Harry Robert, please summon your participating Pet Beast for this match within 10 seconds, or you will be considered to have forfeited!"
The referee reminded the contorted-faced Harry Robert.
Harry had no choice but to grit his teeth, re-form the hand seal, and summon his Pet Beast.
Regardless of the audience's uproar upon seeing this Pet Beast, even the sleepy Mingxi instantly straightened her back, her gaze sharper than a bayonet.
Intelligence gathered by various national teams had consistently stated that Harry Robert had unprecedentedly cultivated three General-level Pet Beasts.
However, during the matches, he had only ever sent out Sunset Demon Spirit and Katalim, both General-level. No one had ever seen the third General-level Pet Beast.
It was said that even the players and coaches of their British Empire team didn't know.
The only ones who likely knew what his third Pet Beast was were their Team Leader and the Blue Sun Cup organizing committee.
And all mbers of the Blue Sun Cup organizing committee had signed strict non-disclosure agreents, making it impossible for them to reveal information about the players.
It could be said that Harry Robert's secrecy work was quite thorough.
Yet, unexpectedly, after encountering Mingxi in the group stage, his third Pet Beast, which he had kept hidden and likely intended as his ultimate trump card for a stunning reveal, was pulled out without any warning.
And it was an Inferno Rhinoceros!
The Inferno Rhinoceros, a Fire and Demonic dual-elent General-level Transcendent creature, whose initial form is called Demonic Fla Tyrant Rhinoceros.
This Transcendent creature is not a native species of the British Empire but a unique Transcendent creature of the Guanghao region in Dragonflower Country.
It is a rare-level species.
Only the cultivation centers in the Guanghao region have Demonic Fla Tyrant Rhinoceros Pet Beast eggs or young, but contracting it is not sothing that can be achieved with just money and power.
Within Dragonflower Country, there are almost no Beast Tars who have contracted a Demonic Fla Tyrant Rhyrhinoceros.
It is said that because this Transcendent creature conflicts with the genes of Dragonflower Country people, the success rate of contracting it is as low as 0.1%.
In any case, historically, fewer than twenty Dragonflower Country people have successfully contracted a Demonic Fla Tyrant Rhinoceros, and tracing back their ancestry, almost all of them had ancestors who intermarried with foreigners, aning they were likely mixed-race.
Therefore, although the Demonic Fla Tyrant Rhinoceros is very powerful, Dragonflower Country people cannot benefit from it.
If we can't contract it ourselves, isn't it a bit wasteful to just keep such a precious and powerful Transcendent creature?
Through the efforts of certain individuals and multi-party negotiations, the Demonic Fla Tyrant Rhinoceros gradually beca an important bridge for Dragonflower Country to live in harmony with the world.
Just like 'Panda Diplomacy'.
Dragonflower Country's is 'Demonic Fla Tyrant Rhinoceros Diplomacy'.
Each year, Demonic Fla Tyrant Rhinoceros from the Guanghao region's cultivation center are gifted to friendly countries that submit applications, and to protect Dragonflower Country's rights, Beast Tars who contract Demonic Fla Tyrant Rhinoceros must sign relevant agreents, ensuring the Demonic Fla Tyrant Rhinoceros's growth and safety.
Of course, there are other restrictions.
Such as fertility issues.
Dragonflower Country will absolutely not allow other countries to cultivate Demonic Fla Tyrant Rhinoceros.
"Dean Yuan, since Harry Robert contracted a Demonic Fla Tyrant Rhinoceros, how could our country not know?" Lu Yun Shen frowned, his expression sowhat grim.
Yuan Hu's expression was equally grim.
With a luxurious logistics team, their intelligence gathering was comparable to a national intelligence departnt. While it couldn't be said that the backgrounds and information of other national team players, down to their nineteenth ancestors, had been dug up, basic background checks were definitely handled with ease.
Harry Robert was a mber of a small ~Nоvеl𝕚ght~ family; his parents held managent positions in a subsidiary company under the family's flag. He was their only son, and his parents doted on him, arranging the best schools within their ans for him. After he awakened, they spared no effort to buy him a Sunset Never Sets Pet Beast egg.
If all participants of the Blue Sun Cup were ranked by family background, Harry Robert would at most rank around 180th, which is mid-lower.
Ahem, Mingxi would undoubtedly be the undisputed last place.
In short, besides his excellent talent in cultivating Pet Beasts, Harry Robert had no other outstanding qualities, and his advantages were clearly not enough for him to qualify for contracting a Demonic Fla Tyrant Rhinoceros at such a young age.
Most importantly, if Harry Robert had truly obtained the Demonic Fla Tyrant Rhinoceros through diplomatic negotiations, the Dragonflower Country logistics team would absolutely not have failed to find out.
"...This Inferno Rhinoceros of his did not co from our Dragonflower Country's cultivation center," Yuan Hu said coldly.
Eliminating all impossibilities, only one possibility remained.
What Yuan Hu could think of, Mingxi could also think of.
Her gaze instantly turned exceptionally cold.
Had soone secretly cultivated Demonic Fla Tyrant Rhinoceros behind Dragonflower Country's back?
Or were there Demonic Fla Tyrant Rhinoceros in other Mystic Grounds?
The latter was not impossible.
But it is well known that for Transcendent creatures in Mystic Grounds, there are only two possibilities for them to leave the Mystic Ground.
The first is like Lan Yue Liang, being contracted by a Phantom Color Contract.
The second is when the Mystic Ground becos a Mystic Realm of Fallen Laws, and the Mystic Ground uses its last strength to allow those wild Transcendent creatures to break free from the Mystic Ground's laws.
So how did Harry Robert's Demonic Fla Tyrant Rhinoceros co about?
Phantom Color Contract?
Although Mingxi herself loved opening blind boxes, in reality, opening blind boxes was a true money pit.
Due to her strong rise, so newly awakened Beast Tars regained confidence in the Phantom Color Contract because of her, even though the chance of a Phantom Color Key appearing was very low.
But with the population base, there would always be one or two people across the country who could awaken a Phantom Color Key.
And these people 'cleverly' chose the Phantom Color Contract, and the result was...
Opening blind boxes not only led to no way out, but also no way to live!
