Chapter 2669: Shiny’s Comprehensive Evolution!
Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
Once he was done speaking with Liu Tie and Wen Yu, Lin Yuan entered his own training room. Just like the two of them, he had his own personal training room.
Each of their training rooms was tailored to their individual needs. Wen Yu primarily used her training room to organize information. As a result, it was no different from an office.
Liu Jie used his to train Elegance’s insect armies. Thus, his was the largest training room, and the ground had various geographical terrains built into it. The walls and ground were also fortified with thick layers of metal-type spiritual ingredients.
Lin Yuan had yet to use his training room for fighting. He usually used it to nurture feys or to read in. He still kept up the positive habit of reading.
This time, just like many other times in the past, Lin Yuan was going to use his training room to nurture a fey.
Frankly, Lin Yuan had been looking forward for a long time to nurture Shiny.
But before now, he had lacked dragon liver. Lin Yuan preferred to evolve it at once rather than strengthening it incrementally!
Lin Yuan summoned Shiny, and the large, majestic golden bird appeared. He raised his hand, which grabbed his arm like a landing pad.
Shiny turned its sharp beak to the side and used the soft feathers on its neck to brush against Lin Yuan’s shoulder.
In the past, it would nuzzle up against his neck. But in one instance, its feathers had cut the skin on his neck.
This was not because Lin Yuan’s skin was too soft and not tough enough. Lin Yuan’s genes had been refined, and he was an A-rank spirit qi professional. Hence, his skin was much tougher than that of most humans.
But the fact was that Shiny was a bird that used its body for combat. Although it was only Bronze grade, the feathers on its neck, which were the softest ones on its entire body, were also very lethal.
Shiny was very mischievous and liked to play all over the marsh world.
If Shiny was a human, it would definitely be an adventurer who loved traveling!
Lin Yuan rarely saw Shiny when he went to the Spirit Lock spatial zone. But whenever he did, it would cling to him. It was just as attached to Lin Yuan as Genius and Chimey were!
With its Barren bloodline, Shiny was very intelligent.
It flapped its wings a few times and lifted its claws off of Lin Yuan’s arm before flying in circles around him.
Shiny had also been waiting for this day for a long time.
During the entire time that it had been stuck at Bronze grade, Shiny had yearned to grow its power.
It knew that Lin Yuan was finally going to nurture it.
Lin Yuan looked at Shiny and could not help but smile.
Regardless of how bad things got in the outside world, being here with his feys always healed and relaxed him.
Lin Yuan used True Data to check on Shiny.
[Fey Name]: Golden Wings [Fey Species]: Barren-species/feather-winged-species
[Fey Grade]: Bronze (9/10) [Fey Type]: Wind [Fey Quality]: Fantasy I
Abilities:
[Snapped Neck Falling Death]: When its sharp claws make contact with a target, the target’s neck will be snapped. Simultaneously, the Golden Wings will extract the target’s soul and absorb it into its feathers. The soul will imbue the storm patterns on the feathers with intelligence.
[Flowing Wind Claws]: When the wind elements in the Golden Wings’ feathers are released into the environment, it will be able to control the surrounding winds and manipulate it to attack its opponent. The attacked target will feel like claws are slashing it. After attacking a target, the Golden Wings will also be able to inject wind elements into its target through explosions and cause double the amount of damage.
Exclusive Skill:
[Unset State]: When interacting with another fey, the Golden Wings can copy the fey’s exclusive skill and triggered abilities. Unset State will then turn into the copied exclusive skill and triggered ability. The abilities can only be switched out once every lunar cycle.
[Wind’s Descendant]: By placing itself as the heart of all wind elements, it will become the eye of a hurricane and control all of the surrounding wind elements. It will become the master, while all other winds will become its disciple.
This was not the first time that Lin Yuan was looking at Shiny’s data. But every time he did, he could not help but marvel at the might of a fey with the Barren bloodline! It was possible that not even Platinum avian-type feys would be able to defeat Shiny!
Shiny’s exclusive skill, Wind’s Descendant, gave it absolute control over wind elements. It was a controlling type of exclusive skill.
Snapped Neck Falling Death and Flowing Wind Claws would allow it to cause significant damage to its enemies.
Snapped Neck Falling Death had an instant death effect and could take control of souls. Lin Yuan had never seen such an ability in other feys.
Clearly, the Moon Empress had chosen carefully before giving him Shiny’s egg. It was impossible that every fey with the Barren bloodline had equally fearsome abilities as Shiny!
Lin Yuan waved to Shiny.
“Shiny, stop flying. Go and stand on the table.”
Lin Yuan placed a large block of red sandalwood on the table in the breeding room.
It was very easy for Shiny to grab hold of the block of red sandalwood. It would be difficult for Shiny to eat if it had to stand on the table.
Shiny folded its wings in midair before landing on the block of red sandalwood.
Its sharp claws pierced through the jade-textured red sandalwood, leaving slashes in the wood.
If anyone else in the main world saw this, they would gasp and think that this was such a pity!
However, this did not mean anything to Lin Yuan because this piece of red sandalwood was completely ordinary two days ago. After spending two days in the Spirit Lock spatial zone, it only became jade-textured.
Shiny perched on the block of red sandalwood and bobbed its head excitedly.
Lin Yuan took out the fresh dragon liver that Long Tao had given him before slathering it in phoenix blood.
In Shiny, a more delectable meal could not exist.
All Lin Yuan needed to do was provide Shiny with pure spirit qi and wind-type heavenly-maiden-grade elemental pearls while it ate, and its power would spring upwards!
With the temptation of such a meal and the prospect of increasing its power right in front of it, Shiny did not lose sight of everything else and begin obsessing over the food like feys with low intelligence would do.
Instead, it let out two sharp cries that sounded like a mix of metal scraping against each other and a bird screech before it waved its wings at Lin Yuan and began elegantly eating the food in a gentlemanly manner.
Lin Yuan took out a box of spirit qi crystals and a box of wind-type heavenly-maiden-grade elemental pearls and placed it next to Shiny’s meal. This way, Shiny could eat them whenever it wanted!
Lin Yuan backed into a corner. All he needed to do was wait until Shiny was done eating the various spiritual ingredients so he could help it with the next steps!
Shiny ate happily. There was no need for it to stomp and crush the dragon liver before eating it like the other wild beasts had to do.
Shiny pecked at the dragon liver, and it broke apart as easily as tofu.
Shiny’s power rose rapidly since the dragon liver came from main-dragon-species feys and the phoenix blood came from main-phoenix-species feys.
As its power rose, Shiny became increasingly majestic. The color of its feathers intensified.
Its feathers were individually exquisite, and each looked like a piece of art.
Lin Yuan could not help but shiver at the ferocious aura emanating from it.
When he looked at Shiny, he felt as though he had returned to a primeval world and was looking at a peak hunter feasting on its haul.
Shiny ate one elemental pearl or spirit qi crystal with every beakful of the dragon liver.
Lin Yuan stood quietly to the side as he watched Shiny’s power grow.
Shiny did not grow larger each time it evolved its grade. When it evolved to Platinum grade, it had even shrunk to the point that its wingspan was only around three meters.
However, the decrease in its size did not hamper Shiny’s forcefulness. Rather, it became even more ferocious!
At this moment, Shiny let out a cry before manipulating the wind-elemental energy to form a voice. “Yuan, I have reached Diamond/Fantasy Ill! I will need some time to digest my power. Once I consume the remainder of the dragon liver and phoenix blood, I will reach Diamond X/Fantasy V.
“I would like to stay at this level for a while before I move on to evolve to Suzerain/Myth. If I evolve my power to too great of an extent, my combat abilities might not catch up to my body’s strength. I won’t be able to cope with my physical changes!”
Lin Yuan nodded.
With Shiny’s intelligence, it could determine the most beneficial route of evolution for itself.
Since Shiny had chosen the most beneficial path for itself, there was no way that its contractor would object.
Spirit qi professionals all preferred intelligent feys. This was because intelligent feys were able to communicate effectively with their spirit qi professionals and tell them about their needs. If spirit qi professionals evolved feys based on their own judgment, they could sometimes accidentally negatively impact the feys’ potential.
Lin Yuan told Shiny seriously, “Shiny, you can remain at Diamond X/Fantasy V then! Two days later, I will take you to participate in a few fights so you can get used to your own power. We’ll evolve you to Suzerain/Myth once you’re ready!” Shiny paused for a while before it sincerely thanked Lin Yuan.
Shiny’s contract with Lin Yuan was formed through spiritual energy, soul, and bloodline. It was linked to his mind and could clearly sense what he was thinking.
Lin Yuan wanted to take it to participate in the Radiance Envoy selection.
If Shiny wanted to compete with other feys with the Barren bloodline, it would have to be evolved to Suzerain/Myth.
But if something went wrong during its evolution, Shiny would have to take responsibility for itself.
As Lin Yuan’s fey, it would also have to be responsible for answering to him. If it was the only one involved, it would be more than willing to immediately evolve to Suzerain/Myth so it could do battle for Lin Yuan.
When Lin Yuan heard this, he ignored the fact that Shiny’s feathers had become even sharper after evolving to Diamond grade and patted its abdomen. He immediately felt a pang of pain in his palm.
“Shiny, with our relationship, there’s no need to thank me! I used my best resources to nurture you. You should trust in your own power! Moreover, we are not just acting for the short-term. We need to look further into the future!”
Lin Yuan used True Data to check on Shiny.
[Fey Name]: Golden Wings
[Fey Species]: Barren-species/feather-winged-species
[Fey Grade]: Diamond (1/10) [Fey Type]: Wind [Fey Quality]: Fantasy Ill
Abilities:
[Snapped Neck Falling Death]: When its sharp claws make contact with a target, the target’s neck will be snapped. At the same moment, the Golden Wings will extract the target’s soul and absorb the soul into its feathers. The soul will imbue the storm patterns on the feathers with intelligence.
[Flowing Wind Claws]: When the wind elements in the Golden Wings’ feathers are released into the environment, it will be able to control the surrounding winds and manipulate them to attack its opponent. The attacked target will feel like claws are slashing it. After attacking a target, the Golden Wings will also be able to inject wind elements into its target through explosions and cause double the amount of damage.
[Rapid Wind Whistle]: By flapping its wings to activate wind-elemental energy, the Golden Wings will simultaneously let out a roar that causes physical and elemental damage to a designated target. A headwind will also lower the target’s speed. Each time a headwind is released, its own speed will be increased.
[Hurricane Added Protection]: A vicious hurricane shield will be added to one’s own body. Every time elemental damage is inflicted on it, the hurricane shield will absorb the damage before reflecting it. The hurricane shield can also absorb wind-elemental energy from the surroundings to replenish the wind-elemental energy in its body.
[Folded Wings Wind Valley]: With the Golden Wings at the center, an environment charged with wind-elemental energy will be formed.
Wind-elemental energy will be continuously produced in this environment. When it makes a sacrifice to this territory, the wind-elemental energy will be absorbed into its bloodline and trigger a one-time explosion.
[Disappearing Wind Attack] :
Exclusive Skill:
[Unset State]: When interacting with another fey, the Golden Wings can copy the fey’s exclusive skill and triggered abilities. Unset State will then turn into the copied exclusive skill and triggered ability. The abilities can only be switched out once every lunar cycle.

Lin Yuan was stunned by what he saw. He was momentarily at a loss about how to appraise Shiny.
The four new abilities it had gained were almost too comprehensive!
