Beast Taming Patrol

His spear technique merged seamlessly with the stick technique instructed by Xing Yun and, under Lin Su's father's guidance, was improving at an astonishing rate.

Almost every day, Lin Su's progress in spear technique was visibly significant.

In addition to honing his spear technique, every afternoon in the Shenwu world, Lin Su would make the most of his time to meditate using the Space Heart.

In the Beast Taming Space, the light blue dot that appeared in the Yin Yang Body Refining Pool during subsequent meditation sessions spread outwards just as Lin Su had predicted, and now it was the size of a palm.

Although this seemed insignificant compared to the entire Beast Taming Space, Lin Su believed in the principle that quantitative changes lead to qualitative transformations, and that when the light blue area became large enough one day, it would be the moment his Beast Taming Space broke through to the fourth tier.

Not just Lin Su, but in the past dozen days, Qiuqiu and Ghost had also made significant progress.

With the help of the Dream Crystal Stone from the Beast Tower, Qiuqiu finally upgraded his most powerful weapon on the frontier—the Snow Explosion to the third tier before the combat mission began. By training with the Snow Explosion, its Ice Palm skill similarly broke through to the third tier.

As of now, the only skill Qiuqiu had not upgraded to the third tier was Frost Resistance.

The reason Qiuqiu hadn't been focusing specifically on training this skill wasn't because it was unimportant, but because Qiuqiu's growth was too rapid. With Lin Su's assistance, new skills continuously emerged for it, leading to a decrease in the priority of training Frost Resistance.

However, as the only defensive skill, it was something Qiuqiu could never completely abandon.

Today, having upgraded all its other skills to the third tier, Qiuqiu was finally focusing on training Frost Resistance again.

Upgrading Frost Resistance from the second to the third tier would transform the original twelve layers of Ice Crystal Petals into thirty-six.

With twelve layers, Frost Resistance saw less and less use in the hands of Qiuqiu, now an elite-tier Monarch species—too weak an opponent didn't require Frost Resistance, and against much stronger adversaries, twelve layers wouldn't last long.

The reason was simply that the skill proficiency for this ability was slightly weak.

In the time to come, whether using the Dream Crystal Stone from the Beast Tower or through daily training, Qiuqiu would prioritize Frost Resistance, and that situation was expected to change swiftly.

With such significant improvement from Qiuqiu, Ghost, known as the king of perseverance within the team, naturally refused to be outdone.

Its skill enhancement was also undergoing steady progression.

The period immediately following an evolution was when a pet beast's strength increased most rapidly because many skills with low proficiency levels awaited training. Once those proficiencies were elevated, the beast's strength would leap forward once again.

Qiuqiu was like this when it first evolved into Frost Flower Dream Shadow, and now it was Ghost's turn.

In just over a dozen days, its Evil Mockery had been upgraded to the second tier with the assistance of the Dream Crystal Stone from the Beast Tower. Now, the Dream Crystal Stone's power for Ghost was equally distributed between improving Evil Mockery and Devouring of Nihility.

Back on Blue Star, Ghost trained daily under the suppression of Qiuqiu's Monarch Power, but things didn't get better in the Shenwu world; they got even tougher.

Here, the training under suppression was overseen by the Golden Feathered Vulture, in possession of a fourth-tier Monarch Power and a fourth-tier Emperor Force Field.

Under such pressure, Ghost's pace of improving its Monarch Power even caught up with Qiuqiu's, who had a spiritual boost to its proficiency in Monarch Power skills.

In just over a dozen days, its Monarch Power reached the second tier, and it was not just at the threshold of that level.

Besides training these skills, Ghost concentrated almost all of its daily routine on Shadow Magic.

As time went by, Ghost could now proficiently use multiple sub-skills simultaneously for training, doubling the proficiency improvement for its abilities.

Training two sub-skills at once was the norm, and occasionally, Ghost managed to train three at the same time.

Although not yet at the third tier, Lin Su estimated that with such a training method, there was a chance Ghost could upgrade this core skill, which required a massive amount of training, to third-tier proficiency within a month.

Apart from skill training, both pets were constantly absorbing various supernatural resources gathered from two previous secret realms, converting them into strength as quickly as possible.

The dark-type resources obtained in the Dawn and Dusk Secret Realm were still in Ghost's trick pocket, where the power within the resources was being steadily absorbed through the trick pocket.

Qiuqiu's absorption rate of resources was also increasing, as it rapidly absorbed the supernatural resources through carrying and converting them into energy liquid, swiftly turning them into its own strength.

...

Blue Star.

Lin Su reopened his eyes and summoned the two pets from the Beast Taming Space.

By this point in the past, he would have changed into the combat uniform provided by the reserve camp and gone down to the small courtyard under the dormitory building for the morning basic physical training.

However, that was no longer the case with the half-month training at the reserve camp completed.

Today, all the members of the reserve camp would set off fully prepared, heading to the frontline to battle against the Dark Demon Immortal Country.

Although he was already mentally prepared, Lin Su still felt a bit nervous now that the moment had arrived.

"Meow! (｡òωó｡)" (I will protect Lin Su well!)

Sensing Lin Su's nervousness, Qiuqiu approached and gently rubbed its cheek against Lin Su's face.
