As it turned out, the trickster clown in front of him was really easy to please.
Merely by stroking its head, as soon as Lin Su withdrew his hand, the trickster clown began dancing joyously.
Watching the trickster clown mysteriously produce three throwing knives and juggle them in the air like a circus performance to express its excitement, Lin Su couldn’t help but smile slightly.
The word ‘clown’ in this peculiar beast’s name was indeed fitting.
His gaze moved from the trickster clown as he turned to look at Qiuqiu.
Due to the trickster clown’s interlude, he had not yet had the chance to closely observe the changes in his own pet beast after its evolution.
“Meow!” (Look at me! Look at me!)
With the misunderstanding resolved, Qiuqiu immediately showed an expectant expression, leaping in a few bounds onto Lin Su’s shoulder and adeptly burrowing into his embrace.
Originally, Qiuqiu was quite small, easily supported with one palm, but having entered the elite stage and completed its evolution, Qiuqiu’s physique had grown larger, now not much different from that of a normal cat. Its body, as long as Lin Su’s forearm, and its similarly lengthy tail, made holding Qiuqiu a bit unfamiliar.
Curiously pinching Qiuqiu’s paws, which had transformed from plump to slender, Lin Su began to closely inspect Qiuqiu’s new form.
Triple eyes, long tail—these were characteristics inherent to the Frost Flower Dream Shadow species, but apart from these, Qiuqiu had many new changes.
Its limbs and the edges of its paws now sported ice-blue flames that danced lightly like ribbons, vanishing into nothingness when he reached to touch them. A few ice-blue patterns appeared on its cheeks, giving it a mysterious and noble look.
Lin Su’s hand inadvertently brushed over a spot on Qiuqiu’s chest, feeling a sensation akin to rubbing against stone. Straightening Qiuqiu’s body, he then saw the ice-blue crystal embedded at its chest.
That crystal, it looked somewhat like an Ice Crystal, didn’t it?
Doubts bubbled in Lin Su’s mind as he reached out to touch the ice-blue crystal. As his hand made contact, chills seeped from the crystal into his fingers, making him shiver, “Qiuqiu, do you feel any discomfort?”
“Meow~ (๐òωó๐)” (Not at all~)
“That’s good,” Lin Su sighed with relief, nodding slightly.
Such ice-blue crystals were definitely not present in Frost Flower Dream Shadow, and Qiuqiu’s appearance also had some notable differences from a normal Frost Flower Dream Shadow. This seemed to indicate that the Nirvana Pool had indeed had an effect.
Since the entire evolutionary process was still based on Frost Flower Dream Shadow, and such evolution lacked reproducibility, there was no need to name it as a completely new species.
Looking at Qiuqiu, which still maintained its charm despite an additional vertical pupil, Lin Su felt that treating Qiuqiu’s new state as an enhanced version of Frost Flower Dream Shadow was quite fitting.
“Qiuqiu, let’s test your Talent Skills to see what additional abilities you have now,” Lin Su said with a smile as he stroked Qiuqiu’s still-soft fur.
Checking whether pet beasts have awakened the evolutionary Talent Skills they are supposed to have is crucial after completing an evolution, as some pets might not fully awaken their Talent Skills due to their unique nature.
The shorter the time since the completion of the evolution, the easier it is to correct this problem. If the evolutionary form is left to fully stabilize, remedying the lack of Talent Skills becomes very difficult.
Therefore, it is best to check the awakening of the Talent Skills right after the evolution is complete.
Given that Qiuqiu’s evolutionary form has significant differences from the Frost Flower Dream Shadow, checking each of the Talent Skills becomes even more crucial.

However, Qiuqiu seemed unusually confident about this.
“Meow!” (Watch my performance!)
“Okay,” Lin Su responded with a wry smile, “Let’s start with your core skill.”
“Meow!” (Okay!)
Qiuqiu’s expression turned serious, and after brewing for a while, it slowly extended a paw forward and slapped down…
Nothing happened.
“Meow? Meow?!” (Where’s my Frost Silence Storm? My grand Frost Silence Storm?!)
“Try spitting it out from your mouth?” Lin Su massaged his forehead, “Have you forgotten? After a core skill metamorphoses, it reverts back to the first tier, and the first-tier Frost Storm cannot be released by the paw. Likely, the Frost Silence Storm is the same.”
“Meow…” (I forgot…)
This time, Qiuqiu seemed to catch the drift, puffing up its cheeks and forcefully spewing forward onto an open space.
Ice-blue and silver-white intertwined in the void, forming a limitless storm that burst forth. The snow in the storm had vanished, but the cold grew even more intense and bone-chilling, and it even seemed to contain something else.
Merely standing to the side of the storm, feeling the surges of cold coming in waves, Lin Su felt his Spirit momentarily stiffen as if his thoughts had also slowed down.
Quite a move, Silver Blue Entwined… ah, no, Frost Silence Storm.
It was said that in the world of divine martial arts, there was once a Beast Tamer contracted with a Frost Flower Dream Shadow. By training it to let its Frost Silence Storm reach the fifth-tier level, just one Frost Silence Storm could permanently freeze an opponent’s Spirit. Even if the physical freeze was resolved, the spirit could only remain perpetually frozen, turning them into a vegetative state.
