“You can use the root of the Tree of Life now; I’ll guide you through it.” Du Qiankun glanced at him.
“Okay. Then I’ll have to trouble you, grandmaster.”
Su Bai nodded. His liking for Du Qiankun, the founder of Yulong Gymnasium, had increased even more because of this. He was willing to cultivate himself and he was also willing to reciprocate in the future. This was a win-win situation.
“Jade, give it a try. This is a good opportunity.”
He handed the root in his hand to the elf.
“Howl!” Understood!
The law force of the wood and life burst forth from the elf’s body and acted on the root of the Tree of Life.
As the root was stimulated, a strong wave of vitality spread, and the surrounding plants doubled their height in an instant.
With the continuous stimulation from the elf, the root finally revealed its original appearance. It was no longer a dark green old tree root but a transparent emerald root, instead.
In the end, as Purple Jade steadily refined the root, it turned into a lump of green liquid; a miniscule DNA-like strain could be felt from it using mental power. It was dense and extremely complicated.
This was the root’s fundamental law of life, which was the most original between heaven and earth.
As this mass of liquid fell, the elf’s body emitted a green light, its long hair flying despite the absence of wind. A strong breath of the law of life was released.
Gradually, this green light enveloped the elf’s body and formed a large light-colored pupa. From the outside world, only the elf’s inhalation and exhalation could be seen. At the same time, the concentration of the law of life it emitted constantly accelerated.
The plants in the greenhouse grew at a rate visible to the naked eye, and in the blink of an eye, they had become taller than people.
“It seems that it’ll take your pet some time to comprehend the law of life,” Du Qiankun said when he saw the elf turning into a chrysalis.
Looking at the elf’s state, Su Bai opened his contract book and released Time Ghost.
After showing Du Qiankun his pets earlier, he had kept them again.
“Hasi?”
Ultimate Invincible glanced at the elf, which had turned into a chrysalis, and then turned to look at Su Bai to express its doubts.
“Create an area of Time Acceleration with the elf inside.” He caressed its head.
“Hasi!”
Time Ghost nodded and hovered above the elf’s head. Between its two small hands, it covered the elf with an invisible force of time.
“You’re really lucky to have formed a contract with a time pet!” The grandmaster stared at the ghost in admiration.
“My luck was just a little better than others, grandmaster. Do you want a time-attribute pet, too? I still have six with me,” Su Bai laughed and asked. He had brought out ten time-attribute pets, given one each to his brother and his girlfriend and one each to Chen Ruoxue and Qin Miao. This left him with six more.
“No, that’s not necessary.” The elderly gym founder shook his head.
Su Bai nodded and did not insist further, merely looking at Purple Jade intently.
The ghost put the elf under a thousandfold Time Acceleration. One minute outside was equivalent to a thousand minutes inside.
The aura on the elf’s light-colored pupa gradually turned gentle with the passage of time and eventually no longer leaked out, leaving only flashes of green light like breathing every now and then.
Three hours had gone by in a flash, and inside the Time Accelaration’s domain, the elf had already passed the equivalent of ten years.
Finally, the light-colored pupa turned into a green light that eventually dissipated. The humanoid elf, about the same height as Su Bai, left the pupa, a faint law of life radiating from it, giving the onlookers the feeling of the origin of all living things.
The elf’s appearance had not changed much and was still the same as before. However, its hair had changed from the original green to white, and the grass dress on its body had become a pair of silver-white armor. Along with that, there was now a silver headdress on top of its head.
Of course, this armor was not the kind that covered its whole body. It was very form-fitting and fully revealed the elf’s curves.
The upper part wrapped its bulging chest, and the lower part functioned as a silver mid-thigh skirt. Its feet wore a pair of silver high heels.
Altogether, its fair waist, arms, and long legs were all exposed to those looking. The elf gave off a sassy and heroic vibe, yet it also exuded a seductive and enchanting aura.
The green staff in the elf’s hand had already disappeared at this time; its temperament had also become more mysterious. In addition to exuding the vitality of the source of all things, there was an inexplicable majesty and mystery to the elf.
Su Bai guessed that this might be because the elf had evolved to the Goddess of Beauty and the law of life it represented was related to vitality and destiny.
When it was still a Limitless Beauty, it had been full of vitality. Now, its aura of destiny was richer and it had become unpredictable and mysterious as a result.
“Ah Bai, I succeeded! I’ve evolved to the Goddess of Beauty and broken through to a low-level sovereign!”
A flash of light burst from its body, shrinking its figure. It flew over to Su Bai to share its changes.
“Congrats!”
Su Bai chuckled. He was happiest with its evolution and promotion. After all, the elf was his first pet, and was closest to him, just like a daughter.
While they talked, he checked the elf’s current data.
[Name|Race]: Goddess of Beauty|Elf
[Gender]: Female
[Level]: Low-level sovereign

*****
Su Bai carefully examined the elf. It was worthy of him spending ten years to complete its evolution to the Goddess of Beauty. It had now begun to advance into its domain like a god and was indeed his soul pet.
He had nothing to say about the elf’s evolution besides it being invincible. Be it the Eye of Destiny or the Arrow of Destiny, both were all godly skills.
“Your primary pet is even more extraordinary than I thought. She can exude an unpredictable aura of fate, which makes it difficult for me to spy on her!
“Fortunately, this is already her ultimate form, or else I’ll really suspect that she can also evolve to a god.
“Even so, with a little destiny aura, her preciousness and power are many times more than the time pet in your hands!”
Du Qiankun examined the elf and showered it with praises. Seeing Purple Jade now made him feel very emotional.
He could not figure out what kind of luck Su Bai had to own a soul pet, fused with a small heart of thorns, that could eventually evolve into a being related to destiny.
He suspected that this young man had a plug-in, or perhaps the Goddess of Destiny was his mother. This kind of probability was so slim; he was more and more certain that Su Bai could break through and become the first mythical-level Pet Tamer of Blue Planet.
“Haha! I didn’t expect it to evolve into this current form, either,” Su Bai smiled and said. Du Qiankun did not know that Purple Jade had a super-evolutionary law, so he naturally did not stupidly expose it.
He had revealed his pets before without a choice, but he must still hide whatever he could.
“Okay. I hereby acknowledge you as the new curator. Let’s go out and meet the others; I’ll take care of this matter. The gym can’t be without a curator even for a short while.” The elderly man took a long breath, patted Su Bai on the shoulder, and smiled.
“Thank you for your approval, grandmaster!” Su Bai nodded obediently. It felt good to have such a senior as his backer.
Subsequently, led by Du Qiankun, he greeted the other three grandmasters in the gathering place, namely Zhang Lu, Bai Shan, and Wang Zhou.
He had seen Zhang Lu many times, but he was meeting Wang Zhou and Bai Shan for the first time today. They both belonged to the Giant Dragon Division, while the two belonging to the God Dragon Division had long gone to the Sea Abyss to go on an adventure.
Yulong Gymnasium had a total of eight grandmasters; six of them were in the Sea Abyss, while two were in Planet Hope’s base camp.
These so-called grandmasters were all legendary Pet Tamers or even quasi-mythical Pet Tamers.
The heavenly-king and the quasi-legendary Pet Tamers were not qualified to occupy the grandmaster seat.
There were so many disciples in Yulong Gymnasium, and only seven legendary Pet Tamers had appeared after so many years, which showed the difficulty of reaching that level.
“Since both grandmaster and Senior Sister Zhang Lu feel that Su Bai is qualified enough, then we have no objections, but I think that it’s better to follow the normal process and the rules shouldn’t be abandoned,” Bai Shan said with his hands spread.
He looked to be a young man in his twenties, with a small hill pattern on his forehead.
These grandmasters looked young, but in fact, they were about the same age as Zhang Lu, who was at least seventy or eighty years old. However, measuring the long lifespan of Pet Tamers, these people were still considered very young.
Wang Zhou looked at Su Bai and then at Du Qiankun. He could not understand why the young man was so valued, but on the surface, he nodded and said, “I don’t have any comments. It’s best to follow the rules.”
“Okay, we’ll follow the rules, too. This is nothing to Su Bai,” Du Qiankun nodded and said. “Let Zhang Lu be in charge of this. We just need to watch behind the scenes.”
“Master, rest assured; I’ll definitely handle everything well.” Zhang Lu glanced at Su Bai in surprise and agreed readily.
“Good job, young man! You received my master’s approval as soon as you met him.” After leaving the war fortress with Su Bai, Zhang Lu turned and spoke in surprise.
“I didn’t know that I’d obtain his approval this fast, either.” He spread his hands.
“Alright. With my master’s optimism toward you, no one can take away your position as the curator. Following this, everyone will hold a convention for you.
“At that time, there’ll be an important event, and this is that you’ll have to accept the challenge of the two deans. If you defeat them, you’ll become the new curator. This is also a test to prove your qualifications,” the woman looked at him and said solemnly.
“I understand.” He nodded.
“I’ll let someone announce the news of your appointment, and the time will be set on the third of next month. There are a lot of things to settle this month, and there’ll be adjustments to be made as well, so it’s not a good time to rush things. One month’s time is just enough.”
She told Su Bai while looking at him intently. “What do you think? If you want to become the curator sooner, I can also adjust the schedule for you.”
“No need. I’ll follow whatever grandmaster deems best.” He shook his head. “Actually, I don’t care much about the curator position; I was just pushed forward.
“God Dragon Division has nurtured me and given me lots of help and resources. I just don’t want to fail everyone’s expectations.”
His words made Zhang Lu quite appreciative of the young man, and she gave an approving nod. “It’s good if you know. Being a curator is nothing but a fleeting title. Gaining strength is still the most fundamental thing. Even though you became the curator, you can’t neglect your own development.
“Look at Zi Wuji. Although he’s usually dazzling, he’s completely helpless in the face of the Mother of Despair and can only turn to others for help. He has put the cart before the horse; he used to be quite the talented young man, but his greed ultimately hindered his progress.”
Speaking of this, Zhang Lu could not help but shake her head. Many people had been optimistic about the young man’s father, Zi Tianhe, thinking that he might be the ninth legendary Pet Tamer of Yulong Gymnasium.
Unexpectedly, he had actually given his precious divine skill to his son, who was not as qualified as him. Although there was nothing wrong with that, many people still could not help shaking their heads.
He could have just improved his own strength first before helping his son, could he not?
Su Bai nodded and returned to the dean’s office.
The next day, as a heavenly king-level Pet Tamer, he officially became the new curator of Yulong Gymnasium. The news came like a prairie fire and caused a violent response.
It exploded like thunder in Yulong Gymnasium and then spread throughout the entire Blue Planet.
The poster of Su Bai on the official website of Yulong Gymnasium took up a huge amount of space, while the new king’s ascension had begun.
The disciples of Yulong Gymnasium were fine, for they had been somewhat expecting this for quite some time, but this news still took the world by thunderous surprise.
Most people had never thought that Su Bai would actually reach the last step and would actually become the curator of one of the ten peak gyms in the world.
