Beast Taming Patrol

At that thought, Lin Su steeled his heart and continued his meditation, allowing strands of Body Tempering Qi to enter the Beast Taming Space.

…

"Huff..."

After a long period of meditation, Lin Su slowly opened his eyes.

His expression had grown somewhat peculiar.

Following more than twenty hours of meditation, his Beast Taming Space had significantly expanded.

This was the reward of using the Space Heart and the accelerated meditation within the secret realm.

As for the Body Tempering Qi...

After the first strand of Body Tempering Qi entered the Beast Taming Space, every subsequent strand that surged in roamed and nourished the Beast Taming Space before finally settling on the goose-yellow outer walls of the Beast Taming Space.

Moreover... it seemed as though these strands of Body Tempering Qi had conspired together, all congregating at the same spot, which was the initial speck that had become slightly greener.

Not until more and more Body Tempering Qi accumulated did Lin Su realize his mistake.

It wasn't green; it was blue.

It merely appeared green because it wasn't distinct enough when contrasted with the nearby goose-yellow.

As more and more Body Tempering Qi flowed in, this speck's area did not expand much—it still resembled a minuscule dot no bigger than a needlepoint, but its color became increasingly pronounced and clearer.

It was a light blue dot.

What light blue signified, Lin Su naturally understood.

It was the Fourth Order Beast Taming Space.

Although this light blue dot was incredibly minuscule, its significance was enormous.

It acted like an ordered crystal nucleus added to a chaotic crystal, which could ultimately guide and grow to transform the entire crystal structure into something ordered.

The transition from Third Order to Fourth Order Beast Taming Space had a bottleneck, which some might never overcome in their lifetimes.

Now, this light blue dot was like a seed of the Fourth Order Beast Taming Space, allowing Lin Su's Beast Taming Space to break through the Third Order without any bottlenecks. All that was needed was time to settle and continuous meditation to smoothly complete the transformation from Third Order to Fourth Order.

Although he had lost a chance to temper his body, Lin Su did not regret it at this moment.

What he had gained was far greater than what he had lost.

With less than half an hour before leaving the Dawn and Dusk Secret Realm, it was time to call the two little ones over for a meetup.

He wondered how the two little ones had fared in their endeavors.

With a hint of anticipation on his face, Lin Su gently stirred the Guardian Beast Contract, using the innate connection of the Beast Taming Space to send a signal for the pets to gather.

…

"Click~"

A purple-black claw gently pressed on a stone platform within a pitch-black cave, then plucked a crystal that pulsed with a profound black flame from the stone platform.

Afterward, the owner of the purple-black claw stepped toward the cave entrance step by step.

Only when it stepped out of the cave and the dim sky appeared did this owner of the purple-black claw silently raise the crystal in its hand, standing still.

In the distance, a black shadow moved at a speed invisible to the naked eye within the shadows, then emerged and approached the front of the owner of the purple-black claw. It extended a similarly purple-black claw to receive the crystal; the black flame flickered, and the crystal instantly vanished.

With a sweep of its paw, the Shadow Clone that had retrieved this fifth-level dark element resource from the cave transformed back into a pitch-black shadow and merged into the ground.

The next moment, its gaze shifted toward the sky, to the intertwining column of light and darkness.

It had already felt Lin Su's call.

Is it time to leave?

Qiuqiu's face wore a hint of reluctance.

Although it had thoroughly scoured this dark environment and there was nothing much left in terms of resources, the dense dark energy had significantly enhanced its skill training effects.

With an unceasing supply of dark energy, Qiuqiu had truly unleashed in training over these twenty-plus hours.

Adding up all skills, Qiuqiu's training attempts may have already exceeded a thousand times, averaging a skill executed every minute.

Such straightforward and intense training brought great benefits to Qiuqiu as well.

Its Shadow Magic had reached Stage II midway through the training.

All five subskills had also been upgraded to Stage II simultaneously.

Shadow Concealment returned to the level it was at when Qiuqiu first met Lin Su.

Shadow Clone was no longer a frail, easily shattered illusion but had become more solid, capable of performing simple actions like picking up objects.

The immobilization strength and duration of Shadow Lock had both improved significantly.

The casting of Shadow Concealment had become more effortless, no longer requiring the whole body to transform into a shadow; it could now convert just parts of its body into a shadow state.

The speed of Shadow Escape improved, and it was now able to carry two life units at the same time.

As Lin Su predicted, with Shadow Magic advancing to Stage II, the accelerated improvements brought by the previous Stage III of Shadow Concealment were almost nonexistent. Now, if Qiuqiu wanted to raise Shadow Magic to Stage III, it would need to undergo tens of thousands of training sessions.

But Qiuqiu was no longer as worried as before.

Because it found that Lin Su's advice was truly useful.

If it trained several subskills simultaneously, the proficiency of the skills would also increase correspondingly.

It was time to meet up with Lin Su!

Qiuqiu instantly turned into a shadow and dove into the darkness, quickly heading towards the direction of the light pillar.

It couldn't wait to share the joy of advancing its Shadow Magic to Stage II with Lin Su.

It was also eagerly anticipating showing its older brother its newly gained strength.

...

"Mew! ฅ(≧ω≦)ฅ" (A huge harvest!)

Qiuqiu happily swayed its tail tightly wrapped with the Space Ring, its face beaming with satisfaction.

Over the past twenty-plus hours, using Frost Eyes, it had found many, many light system resources!

Although it didn't recognize any of these light system resources and could only guess they were fourth or fifth level based on their energy strength,

that didn't hinder its happiness!

Thinking all these resources would be converted into ice and Spirit resources, Qiuqiu felt its future was full of brightness.

Little brother, you're done for!

Wait until I absorb all these resources, and see how I defeat you with a flip of my palm!

Feeling Lin Su's call, it stepped on frost flowers and instantly transformed into a white rainbow, rushing toward the distant light pillar interwoven with black and white.

Let's see what the little brother has evolved into.

Since it evolved in the yin-yang Body Refining Pool, it must be somewhat different from a normal evolution, right?

If you haven't gained an extra skill like your big brother, little brother, you're just too weak!
