Beast Taming Patrol

Until Lin Su left the room, he only put down his teacup, suddenly stood up, and headed for a partition on one side.

Time to change pants!

Lin Su had arrived so abruptly earlier that he hadn't had the chance to change his tea-stained pants, nearly causing him major embarrassment...

...

Walking on the way back to the Lin Family, Lin Su smiled and patted Qiuqiu's head, "Qiuqiu, now that your Frost Storm and Snow Blow have both broken through to Tier II, it's time to come up with a new training plan."

"Mi?" (What plan?)

"First, you need to learn Deep Sleep and Dream and Frost Resistance as soon as possible."

"Mi!" (No problem!)

"Then, our next practice will mainly focus on Snow Trace and two new teaching skills." Lin Su glanced at Qiuqiu, "It's been nearly half a month since Snow Trace broke through to Tier II, and you have been training diligently. If we increase the training intensity, there's a chance you might break through to Tier III within a week."

"Mi! ฅ(≧ω≦)ฅ" (I can fly!)

"Yes," Lin Su nodded in affirmation, "Your Snow Blow has already reached Tier II, and once Snow Trace reaches Tier III, the combination of the two will allow you to move through the air and gain aerial combat capabilities."

"Besides, both of the new teaching skills are at Tier I; it's much easier to elevate a skill from Tier I to Tier II than to move from Tier II to Tier III, so if these two skills can be advanced quickly, your strength can considerably increase in a short period of time."

"In the world of Divine Martial Arts, one can challenge the Beast Tamer Tower once a day." Lin Su pondered briefly before speaking, "Now we can consistently clear the third floor, so we can add at least a hundred sixty training sessions daily, but let's not add them to Frost Storm."

"Once you learn Frost Resistance, we'll increase the training sessions for Frost Resistance; it's the most cost-effective choice to elevate Frost Resistance to Tier II quickly."

"Mi?" (But can't Frost Eyes also enhance my strength?)

"It's different," Lin Su explained with a smile, "Frost Eyes is a continuous type skill, which is judged differently in the dream training of the Beast Tamer Tower; lasting one minute counts as one session, and practicing sixty times in the dream is just like using the skill for only one hour."

"So, we can't practice Frost Eyes in the Beast Tamer Tower due to its low cost-effectiveness." Lin Su petted Qiuqiu's head, "The same goes for Snow Trace. In dream training, each step you take using Snow Trace counts as using the skill once, and a hundred sessions is merely the equivalent of running a few laps in the garden."

"To train these two skills, just keep them active during regular training sessions."

"Mi!" (I understand!)

Qiuqiu shook its head, frost beginning to form in its eyes as it entered into the Frost Eyes training.

Seeing Qiuqiu train so diligently, Lin Su immediately showed a pleased smile.

If Qiuqiu could maintain the Frost Eyes state continuously, progressing to Tier II should not take too long—a week should suffice.

With Qiuqiu working so hard, Lin Su couldn't afford to slack off.

He had to figure out how to concoct the perfect tier energy solution quickly.

"Tada."

Lin Su stopped walking; the Lin Family's main gate was right in front of him.

"Let's go, our training starts now!"

"Mi! Mi! ฅ(≧ω≦)ฅ" (Training! Get stronger!)

...

Time flew by, and in the blink of an eye, a week had passed.

In this week, Lin Su and Qiuqiu both entered a rapid phase of advancement, showing significant improvement over the previous period.

Under a brutal week of training and daily guidance from Mu Yuxing, Lin Su finally managed to concoct the first bottle of perfect tier basic energy solution, which, although it was the simplest universal energy solution among the basics, indicated a mastery that made further successes easier to achieve.

According to Mu Yuxing, achieving the perfect tier was pivotal to winning the championship.

The dream of having Qiuqiu undergo evolution in the Nirvana Pool was now not far from reality.

This week has also seen a substantial improvement in Qiuqiu.

Both Deep Sleep and Dream and Frost Resistance had been mastered by it.

Since mastering Frost Resistance, each day's training crystals earned by challenging the Beast Tamer Tower in the world of Divine Martial Arts had all been allocated to practicing Frost Resistance, rapidly advancing the proficiency of this skill, which was now not far from reaching Tier II.

Similarly close to reaching Stage II was another of Qiuqiu's teaching skills, Frost Eyes.

Lin Su had estimated that Frost Eyes would reach Stage II in a week. Now a week had passed, and Qiuqiu's Frost Eyes had reached the critical verge of breaking through to Stage II.

Besides that, Snow Trace's training had also progressed rapidly.

Like Frost Eyes, Snow Trace was now on the brink of a breakthrough, with a possible advance to Stage III at any moment.

With the improvement of so many skills, Qiuqiu's strength was incomparable to that of a week ago. After improving the proficiency of Frost Resistance, they successfully passed the fourth level of the Beast Tamer Tower.

Relying on the protection of Frost Resistance, they could briefly withstand Poison Gas and entanglement, which was enough time for Qiuqiu to send Mu Tengluo flying with a Frost Storm.

However, they had yet to conquer the fifth level of the Beast Tamer Tower.

The guardian of the fifth level was no longer Mu Tengluo but Qiuqiu's archenemy, a higher elite breed of fire creature, the Fire Cloud Dog.

The reason they couldn't pass was that with the change in the opponent, the fifth level's scene had also changed, transforming into a fire terrain that was least favorable for Qiuqiu's abilities.

No wonder Lin Su, after challenging the Beast Tamer Tower for so many days, had never seen anyone get past the fifth level. Unlike the fourth level, where there was no attribute suppression, challengers in the fifth level had to battle in an adverse attribute environment.

To win against the Fire Cloud Dog, whose skills were all at Stage II, in such a disadvantageous element situation, Lin Su estimated that only if Qiuqiu's Snow Trace reached Stage III and gained air superiority, would there be a hope of success.

…

Inside the research facility, standing in front of an energy detection apparatus, Lin Su's gaze was tensely fixed on the apparatus where the Sleepy Duck stood motionless.

After the first Sleepy Duck successfully mastered Deep Sleep and Dream, Lin Su and the Six-sided Rubik's Cube began to transform the teaching of this evolutionary skill from one-on-one to one-to-many.

The Stage III hypnosis skill had already enabled large-scale hypnosis. During this week, all remaining Sleepy Ducks were training Deep Sleep and Dream with the assistance of the Six-sided Rubik's Cube, and many had already fully mastered this evolutionary skill.

As the fortunate first Sleepy Duck to master Deep Sleep and Dream, it became the prime focus of Lin Su's care and priority for evolution.

"I'm already quite eager," the voice of the Six-sided Rubik's Cube sounded in Lin Su's mind.

Only after confirming the feasibility of the evolutionary skill did Lin Su reveal its significance to the Six-sided Rubik's Cube, which, with intelligence not inferior to humans, quickly realized its importance to Beast Tamers and expressed its honor to participate.

"So am I," Lin Su took a deep breath, looking at the motionless Sleepy Duck in front of him.

During a week of association, he had become familiar with this Sleepy Duck and had even given it a pleasant name: Duck Da.

"Duck Da, begin evolution," Lin Su said softly.

"Gala! (￣▽￣)ノ" (Evolve!)

On the energy detection machine, Duck Da swallowed all the supernatural resources into its stomach, then hung its head down, instantly entering Deep Sleep and Dream.

Soon, its body surface emanated a glaring Evolution Light!

Lin Su held his breath, watching the data displayed on the energy detection machine.

The constant energy value of the Sleepy Duck began wildly fluctuating from 178P.

178P...500P...1000P...2000P!

Under Lin Su's tense watch, as the Evolution Light disappeared, the constant energy value of the Sleepy Duck finally settled at 4132P.

During the process of evolution, the Sleepy Duck had progressed from its juvenile phase to the elite phase.

No, this was no longer a Sleepy Duck.

The creature standing on the energy detection apparatus was taller than a Sleepy Duck, covered in shiny gold and blue feathers, with a tuft of hair on its head twisting spiral-like, and within its pair of eyes, a deep spiral luminescence flashed briefly.

Mere eye contact with it made Lin Su feel a wave of sleepiness.

Medium Command Breed, Sleepy Duck, evolution successful!

"Ding~"

A soft sound as the laboratory door opened a crack.

"Xiao Linzi, how's your duck research been this past week?" Qin Nan stretched lazily as he walked into the laboratory, "Sister's done slacking off, need any help..."

"Holy shit?!"
