Capítulo 1279: Chapter 362: Slaying Foes and Unexpected Encounters (Double-Length, Extra for Alliance Hierarch Release That Sky Lantern 2/2)
Quickly, Yingying’s absorption concluded.
Before evolution, all its skills were at Tier III, with Shadow Concealment and Devouring of Nihility at Tier IV.
Now, all its skills are at Tier III, with Devouring of Nihility, Monarch Power, and Emperor Force Field at Tier IV.
Coupled with the additional Talent Skills, Yingying’s power level did not fluctuate significantly due to the evolution.
“Because your species is a Trick Master, the Beast Tower will recognize you as a mid-level monarch species and simulate opponents at this level for you.” Lin Su rubbed Yingying’s head, “When facing opponents at this level, the Emperor Force Field will be your trump card.”
“In this way, in a seemingly evenly matched battle, you’ll have an overwhelming advantage.” A smile appeared on Lin Su’s face, “The pace of tower progression will not be slower than before and may even be faster.”
“Let’s go eat first!”
“Cree! (｡✪‿✪｡) (Eat and then go to the Beast Tower!)”
Yingying’s eyes were full of eagerness, already unable to wait to know how strong it was after completing the evolution.
Time passed, and the duo stayed in Bro City for two days.
Yingying’s tower challenge ultimately halted at the eighth floor.
Elite-tier exotic beasts cannot comprehend rules, and the ninth-floor Trick Master was an elite-tier Trick Master who mastered the V-tier Shadow Tricks.
Such opponents are impossible in reality.
Even with Yingying’s current power, there is still some disparity with them.
However, it wasn’t discouraged; instead, it grew more determined.
If it can’t pass now, then it’ll try again when all its skills reach Tier IV!
Meanwhile, Lin Su’s search yielded little gain.
There were no familiar figures within Bro City.
Despite the countless disappointments and returns, Lin Su was not disheartened in the slightest.
He believed someday he would reunite with the other pet beasts.
“Let’s go, next stop is the nearby Gorge Cloud Valley.” Standing at the city gates of Bro City, Lin Su opened the map and quickly found the next direction, “There are many exotic beasts of various species living in that valley; we can train there and then cross the valley to the next city.”
“Cree! (｡⊙‿⊙｡) (No problem!)”
Yingying nodded heavily.
In the seldom-visited wilderness region, though lacking a Beast Tower, it and Lin Su could engage in Power Transfer Method training.
In the cycle of one life, enhancing the Bond Synergy Index is the ultimate goal, and the improvement of power ensures longer survival, both being equally important.
Over the months, through Power Transfer Method and daily interaction, Yingying and Lin Su’s Bond Synergy Index had significantly increased, and according to Lin Su’s estimate, breaking through to the Integration Zone wouldn’t take much longer.
This speed, even compared to Spatial Technique, isn’t much different.
After departing Bro City, the duo accelerated, reaching Gorge Cloud Valley after several hours of trekking.
In the meantime, within a cave inside Gorge Cloud Valley, Yuan Power fluctuations erupted, stirring up one Yuan Power storm after another.
A figure gradually emerged from the Yuan Power storm.
It was a young man, with a somber expression on his face, tightly clenching his hands, feeling the Yuan Power fluctuations of the first layer of Nayuan Realm, and a glint flashed in his eyes.
Finally broke through.
Unable to secure a spot in the Mysterious Pond Secret Realm, he was ultimately left with no choice but to spend a great fortune to exchange for a special pill that could help him break into the Nayuan Realm.
Due to his dark attribute cultivation technique, breaking through with the pill’s help had significantly less effect compared to breaking through via the Mysterious Pond Secret Realm, despite both having similar costs.
Therefore, even after the breakthrough, there was not much joy on his face.
Martial cultivation focuses on foundation and depth.
A single misstep means paying dozens or even hundreds of times the cost to cover for it in the future.
Thinking of this, the young man’s face inevitably showed frustration.
Just one quota away from achieving a perfect breakthrough, unlike now.
Unavoidably, he recalled that odious face.
It was that Beast Tamer named Ji Heng!
If that guy had the decency to give him the quota, nothing would have happened.
Thinking this, the young man shook his head.
He had inquired, and that guy named Ji Heng wasn’t a local of Bro City; by now, he had probably already left.
Lucky for him to escape a calamity.
If he had found that guy, he would have to vent his anger.
In the Divine Martial World, martial experts naturally hold an overwhelming advantage over Beast Tamers, hence a higher status, and most feel contempt when facing Beast Tamers; this young man is no exception.
Therefore, he wouldn’t consider that Ji Heng had no obligation to give up the spot for him, since in his view, the Beast Taming path conceding to the Martial path is only right and proper.
With frustration in his heart, the young man’s body flashed, and soon the valley echoed with the cries of various exotic beasts and waves of Yuan Power fluctuations.
The exotic beasts in the valley suffered as a result.
…
“Watch the claw!”
Lin Su shouted lowly, and at the same time, his palm transformed into a claw, surging with dark flames, he fiercely clawed at the void.
Above the sky, a dark claw shadow instantly appeared, carrying a whistling sound and a terrifying oppressive feel that made one’s heart skip, rapidly enveloping a powerful yak in front.
Yingying’s Talent Skill, Night Flame Claw!
“Moo!”
