Chapter 55 - The lower the temperature, the higher the IQ
Lu Ran returned to Golden Hill later that day. After uncovering Captain Doofus's background, he finally breathed a sigh of relief. He had been investigating the cause of its berserk behavior, but now, with Dr. Gu's help, Captain Doofus would no longer easily go on a rampage.
Even better, the power boost from its berserk state could now be retained in its normal form, marking a complete transformation.
"I actually mooched off of Dr. Gu! Will Fang Lan get jealous since she met Dr. Gu first?"
By the time Lu Ran returned to Rainbow Dojo, the Sudden Death King was still asleep. It had been sleeping since their teleportation, and Lu Ran decided not to wake it. Even now, it remained fast asleep.
"Darn, I should have taken it with me."
Lu Ran didn't know much about Dr. Gu, but since she was a famous beastmaster, a lot of information on her was available on major forums. She famously had a doctorate in familiar evolution.
Her most remarkable achievement was evolving a dragon familiar into a king species—the only person in the world to do so. Moreover, Gu Qingyi's familiar was the only known true dragon in existence.
To be precise, it was the sole true-blooded dragon, as most familiars were merely dragonkin or dragon sub-species. When Gu Qingyi successfully evolved her familiar into an eastern dragon, the western beastmaster world was thrilled, aspiring to evolve their own familiars into giant dragons to rival Xia's Beastmaster Alliance. However, they have yet to make any progress.
This accomplishment earned Dr. Gu the international title of "Dragon Master."
"There are many traits related to dragons, but fusing with them doesn’t necessarily mean they are compatible with a familiar. It doesn’t guarantee that a familiar will evolve into a dragon.
Gu Qingyi's success in evolving her familiar into a king-ranked dragon was likely because her familiar was 100% compatible with dragon traits. Could this guy also be compatible with dragon traits in the future?" Lu Ran wondered, glancing at the sleeping Sudden Death King.
