Beast Taming Patrol

"Ding!"

In the spacious intelligent training room, a flying knife with a silvery-white blade and a hilt pulsating with black flames shot out, hitting the dead center of the target with precision. After piercing the target, the knife turned into a puff of black smoke and shattered into nothingness.

At the same time, new text rapidly appeared on the light screen.

[Bond Coordination Index: 60]

Looking at the line of text on the screen, Lin Su nodded slightly. Then, with Qiuqiu's help, he circulated dark energy in a very special form.

Soon, layers of scales, as tangible as reality, surfaced on his body and face. His body suddenly expanded, with muscles under the scales seeming to gather terrifying strength. The clothes formed by the black smoke from Qiuqiu's co-operative manifestation also shattered at this moment, reverting to their original state, turning into a layer of black mist that enveloped Lin Su's body.

Thus, a dark figure, shrouded in black smoke and demon-like in stature, appeared in the training room.

A third-level martial art technique, "Dark Demon Body."

Lin Su's feet forcefully pushed against the ground, and he disappeared from his spot in a flash. When he reappeared, he was already in front of another target ten meters away.

His movements were simple and unadorned—just a straightforward punched aimed heavily at the heart of the target. His fists, covered in fine black scales, hadn't even fully made contact with the center of the target when the black fist wind they created had already crushed the target into dust, causing a series of sonic booms in the void.

"Hoo..." He exhaled a breath of turbid air, a relaxed smile appearing on his face.

It had been three days since he acquired the martial technique.

For Lin Su, these past three days were indeed filled with good news.

First, just as he had guessed, a Beast Tamer in a Guardian Beast Co-operation state could indeed execute martial techniques. In three days, Lin Su had already trained both "Shattering Cold Needle" and "Dark Demon Body" to the entry level.

Martial arts were not like teaching skills; reaching the entry level in three days was already considered to be of a pretty good talent.

Lin Su also tried to practice a wind-attribute movement technique from the Lin Family's isolated library, but this time he failed.

This meant that the use of martial techniques required selection based on the attributes of the beast involved in coordination with the Beast Tamer and not any lineage could be executed.

Although somewhat disappointed, it was not unexpected.

In these three days, since training in martial techniques required Guardian Beast Co-operation, Qiuqiu's Spatial Technique cultivation was intermittent. Even so, the Bond Coordination Index managed to increase by one point during this process.

This was the second piece of good news.

Being able to improve the Bond Coordination Index by one point in three days was related to a faster pace compared to the regular bonding area, but it also showcased the power of Spatial Technique.

With a thought, the scales on Lin Su's body gradually dissipated, and his body returned to its normal state during the process. With a flash of goose-yellow light, Lin Su and Qiuqiu swiftly separated.

"Mew! (｡òωó｡)" (Just one more point and we'll enter the Tacit Understanding Area!)

Qiuqiu cheered as it pounced over and lay on top of Lin Su's head.

In the past few days, Qiuqiu's Bond Coordination Index hadn't changed much, still at 66 points.

Come to think of it, if it were possible to raise one point in a few days, the multi-dimensional Guardian Beast Co-operation would be quite common, wouldn't it?

"Let's try to cultivate after the finals are over," Lin Su said with a smile as he stretched out one hand to stroke Qiuqiu and another to pat Qiuqiu's sidekick, "Alright, time for us to sleep." Read exclusive chapters at My Virtual Library Empire

This time, coming to the Divine Martial World, the preliminaries of the grand competition were about to begin.

Thinking of this, his expression grew tenser and more serious.

What concerned him was not the possibility of winning the finals, but the consequences that the introduction of Guardian Beast Co-operation combat might bring to the Divine Martial World.

Although he was prepared and had thought of an explanation, this was probably the first time Guardian Beast Co-operation combat would appear in the Divine Martial World, and what exactly might happen was uncertain to him.

After quickly washing up and changing his combat suit for pajamas, Lin Su lay down on the bed. Under the effect of hypnosis, he quickly felt drowsy.

Closed his eyes, crossing over!

...

The Divine Martial World.

Sitting up from the bed, Lin Su quickly got dressed and headed towards the Beast Tower with his two pets.

In the last few days, because Qiuqiu's Spatial Technique cultivation had been interrupted several times, Lin Su simply adjusted the timing of his tower attempt, allowing Qiuqiu to carve out time to run the Beast Tower with Qiuqiu every day.

Thus, Qiuqiu's skill training progress was not too delayed due to the cultivation.

Qiuqiu's Weaving Dreams skill had hardly used the Dream Crystal Stones from the Beast Tower; all of the stones were spent on upgrading Shaking God Roar, which had reached the third-tier level the day before yesterday.

And Qiuqiu's Dark Trap, after absorbing the Dream Crystal Stone today, was also able to break through to the third tier.

Having another breakthrough in strength before the finals started was a delightful matter, regardless of whether or not it would be used.

After completing the tower runs, Lin Su quickly rushed to the competition site with the two little guys.

Currently ongoing were the finals for the master-level Beast Tamer groups.

This competition wasn't of much relevance to Lin Su, but since he needed to attend the finals in the afternoon, getting familiar with the competition site in advance was certainly necessary.

No matter which final, the complete process would be specially projected for the outside audience, so Lin Su could get a preview of the details of that mysterious site.

When he arrived at the venue, the finals had not yet started.

But the area around the site was already packed, with countless Beast Tamers and dignitaries from the imperial capital gathering to witness the outcome of the preliminaries of the grand competition.
