The unusual way Chen Shu broke through spread across the entire country!
Although many had witnessed it before, such unorthodox methods never failed to entertain, no matter how many times they were seen…
"Can Beast Tamers really break through like this?"
"He's pioneering a whole new way to break through…"
"I'm seriously starting to suspect he's already legendary and just pretends to level up to keep things under wraps!"
"Who would be that crazy?"
"Many seniors and powerful figures are like this…"
People everywhere were discussing it, their imaginations running wild as they tried to guess Chen Shu's true identity…
Meanwhile, Chen Shu, the person in question, remained calm, gazing at Fang Si through the white mist and asking, "Sister, what's wrong? You zoning out?"
"??"
Fang Si was stunned again, pointing a finger at Chen Shu and asking, "You can still talk?!"
"…"
Chen Shu's lips twitched. "I'm not mute, you know…"
"No, I mean, you can be distracted while breaking through?!"
"Is there any reason why I can't?"
Chen Shu shrugged, only feeling the constant flow of spiritual energy from heaven and earth irrigating him, with no other sensation.
"…"
Fang Si fell into complete silence, her gaze extremely complicated.
Are you even human anymore?
"What's up with you two?"
Just then, from a nearby recess, Da Li poked his head out.
After all, it had been five days and five nights; as a normal person, Da Li had long since fallen asleep.
"Hey? Chen Shu, you're on fire again?!"
Da Li blinked, looking at Chen Shu shrouded in white mist.
However, he didn't seem particularly surprised, as he obviously didn't understand what this meant for a Beast Tamer…
"I'm a bit hungry. What do you guys want to eat?"
"Anything is fine."
Chen Shu yawned and sat down cross-legged, not making a big deal out of his breakthrough.
A while later,
Watching Chen Shu eat heartily, Fang Si rubbed her forehead, feeling that all her previous Beast Taming theories had been overturned once again…
"Da Li, your skills have improved again!"
Chen Shu praised sincerely, a hint of admiration in his eyes.
"Of course, all thanks to the Freedom Alliance's recipes."
Although the Freedom Alliance had been breached, their collection of various King-level recipes had given Da Li plenty of inspiration.
Spirit Chefs, unlike Beast Tamers, didn't require cultivation. The fastest way to improve was to see and learn more…
Of course, continuous improvement also heavily relied on talent!
As they were chatting,
Chen Shu suddenly let out a groan, "Ah~~"…
"What's wrong? Having a relapse?!"
Da Li and Fang Si looked over in unison, instinctively taking two steps back.
Chen Shu grinned. "It's nothing, just a breakthrough."
Da Li commented, "I feel like you just solved a case of constipation."
"Agreed!" Fang Si nodded.
"Breaking through is much simpler than solving constipation."
Chen Shu shrugged, saying indifferently.
At this moment, the spiritual energy from heaven and earth that had been surrounding his body was suddenly absorbed into him, and he returned to normal…
Chen Shu's Beast Taming level had now reached Gold Three Stars!
While not considered an ultimate powerhouse, he could certainly be considered a regional overlord!
Most importantly, he was so young!
Concurrently, the auras of Chen Shu's four contracted spirits also changed; their strength had visibly increased just from their outward appearance.
Xiao Huang's body suddenly expanded significantly with a 'bang', instantly reaching a diameter of forty meters.
If paired with Lv11 [Giant Growth], it would be nearly nine hundred meters in size!
Of course, if some Berserk Potion were added, its size would be unimaginable!
At this moment, Erha, Space Rabbit, and the Little Spirit also underwent a qualitative change, letting out excited yelps and releasing their pent-up exhilaration.
"Little Chen, you've finally broken through! It wasn't in vain that I nurtured you."
At this moment, the Little Spirit chuckled, smoking a cigar. Coupled with its delinquent demeanor, it was clear it wasn't an easygoing creature…
"Your nurturing?"
Chen Shu's mouth agape, how could it say that!
"Besides being a prodigal son, what other use do you have?"
He grabbed the Little Spirit, but a hint of surprise flickered in his eyes. "Your bloodline has evolved?!"
The current Little Spirit was still only palm-sized, quite miniature, but its face had grown slightly.
If he were to make a comparison, it would be like graduating from kindergarten to primary school…
"Bloodline evolution?"
The Little Spirit blinked, then said, "Don't be so surprised, I've merely regained some of my former strength, Your Majesty!"
"Some?"
Chen Shu's eyes showed a hint of interest. "How much weaker are you now compared to your prime?"
The Little Spirit took a deep puff of its cigar and said,
"It's roughly equivalent to 1%…"
"???"
Chen Shu's body trembled, and he instinctively began to doubt.
This thing could even change its personality on the status panel, so its words couldn't be taken seriously…
He didn't ask further, instead opening the status panels of his four contracted spirits. As expected, the Little Spirit's potential rating had risen to SS!
Currently, apart from Xiao Huang still being S+, the potential of the other three contracted spirits was SS. Erha had gained it through Old Qiao's bloodline bead, and Space Rabbit had swallowed a special ancient blood provided by the old man.
"Alas, I am no longer the mediocre youth I once was…"
Chen Shu looked at the potential ratings of his four contracted spirits and couldn't help but feel a bit emotional.
Even the most ordinary contracted spirits, under the system's nurturing, had evolved to an astonishing level.
Of course, the system was only an aid; the most important factor was his persistent effort!
"If all my contracted spirits could evolve to SSS, that would be true perfection…"
Chen Shu harbored a bit of anticipation in his heart.
The difference between SS and SSS might seem small, but it was a qualitative leap, as evident from how Jona's angel had dominated the entire arena back then.
"Chen Pi, how's your progress?"
At this moment, Fang Si interrupted Chen Shu's musings and asked.
"Uh… it's alright, I can probably beat up some minor legendaries."
"…"
Fang Si fell silent. You really dare to brag!
Chen Shu smiled slightly and said no more, continuing to examine the status information of his four contracted spirits.
Although the bloodlines of the other three contracted spirits hadn't evolved, their skill levels had seen a significant increase.
