Chapter 121 Lin Su, Wait a Moment (Seeking Monthly Pass)
"Meow? (。òωó。)" (Lin Su, do you know how to contract with combat-type beasts?)
Having completed his morning stick technique training and preparing to head to the canteen for lunch, Lin Su heard Qiuqiu's question and his expression became amusingly odd.
Why would combat-type beasts come up out of the blue?
After understanding the conversation the two little ones had during their morning training, he couldn't help but laugh and cry.
So that's what it was all about.
Gu Gu's morning stick technique training, which was done in a well-formed manner, indeed surprised the members of Xing Yun's team, and also piqued Lin Su's interest in the special direction of combat-type beasts learning martial arts, but that didn't mean he planned to contract with a combat beast.
He had no such intention at the moment.
Rather than contracting with a combat beast and teaching it martial arts, it would be better to master martial arts himself and then use them in Guardian Beast Co-operation.
Besides, inherently combat-type magical beasts were not that common. Many combat-types resulted from accidental evolution during the process of evolving, and without a corresponding evolution skill for combat-types, it was purely a matter of luck. It wasn't something he could just do whenever he wanted, right?
After knowing Lin Su's thoughts, Qiuqiu immediately felt relieved, while Gui Gui sighed regretfully.
After lunch, Lin Su quickly returned to his dormitory to seize every minute for the Body Refinement process.
This time, he directly dripped in seven drops of the body refinement liquid for the process, resulting in a noticeably more intense stinging sensation than the day before.
Once the Body Refinement was over, he still had to continue his afternoon stick technique training.
As he had expected, the stick technique and spear technique were somewhat interchangeable, and Xing Yun's method of instruction was also different from Lin Su's father's. After all, it was on the Blue Star, where Xing Yun explained some concepts from a physical perspective to explain why such force application was more efficient, which made it easier for everyone to understand.
This was an advantage that the lacking foundational science of the magical martial world did not possess.
For Lin Su, Xing Yun's guidance was undeniably enlightening, so during the morning learning process, he gained a deeper understanding of the other techniques in the "Nameless Spear Technique".
This made him look forward to the afternoon training even more.
...
Time flew by swiftly.
In the blink of an eye, twelve days had passed.
During these twelve days, the instructors of Combat Team 19 who had not yet guided Xing Yun's team took turns instructing them, leaving behind three days of free training time in the end. During these three days, the team members, based on the previous instructions and their own circumstances, could choose to continue deep learning with different instructors.
Everyone's interests and preferences were different, and so were the development directions of their beasts. Thus, the choices they made naturally varied. The team members temporarily parted ways. Except for the basic physical training in the morning and evening and the rest at noon, they hardly saw each other at other times.
During the three days of free training, Lin Su chose to spend one day on reverse training as a Beast Tamer and two days on stick technique training.
Under Li Hong's guidance, he hadn't completely cleared the training grounds for Beast Tamers, so he took advantage of one day of free training time to clear all the remaining obstacle channels he hadn't passed yet, and then began to attempt to clear random obstacle channels within a set time.
The so-called random obstacle channels were an enhanced version of difficulty after the twenty obstacle channels. The obstacles inside the channel would be recombined after each clearance, ensuring that each time the obstacles were different and preventing Beast Tamers from taking shortcuts through memory.
Regarding stick technique, Lin Su also had several questions he needed to discuss with Xing Yun, comparing them with his own spear technique.
After absorbing various knowledge related to Guardian Beast Co-operation and battlefield combat taught by the instructors, everyone in the Co-ordination Training Camp was growing rapidly.
Lin Su's growth in strength was the fastest among them.
This was because in addition to the regular training others did, he also had to squeeze out time for Body Refinement during the noon break every day, tempering his body.
Normally, Body Refinement is a process that starts with pain in the initial stage and becomes easier later, as with the progression of Body Refinement, the physical condition of martial artists improves and they gain higher resistance to subsequent Body Refinements.
However, Lin Su's case was a bit exceptional. He continuously increased the concentration of the body refinement liquid, and the rate of increase in concentration surpassed the rate at which his body resistance increased. So, instead of getting any relief from the pain as Body Refinement continued, it became more intense, with each time being a struggle at the limit of his willpower.
Of course, this suffering was not endured in vain.
According to his original plan, by relying on his increasingly tenacious willpower, Lin Su had painstakingly completed the entire Body Refinement process in half a month.
The first stage of the Body Refining Realm had thus been weathered through.
Typically, a martial artist who has just finished Body Refinement and has not started Bone Tempering would see their physical strength increase by dozens of times, reaching thousands of pounds.
In the Bone Tempering stage, the increase in strength is not very noticeable, but through tempering the entire skeletal structure, a martial artist in the Body Refining Realm becomes stronger and more robust, whether in terms of controlling the body or in the ability to withstand enemy attacks using physical resistance alone.
Although he appeared to display only average strength during training on the surface, his true personal strength was already enough to contend with juvenile phase magical beasts.
Lin Su's efforts were not limited to the Blue Star. In order to enhance his strength as quickly as possible to prepare for the upcoming combat missions, he had not slackened in his efforts in the magical martial world either.
