"Boss, how did you evolve so quickly? Is it because of that special space?" asked Xiao Jin, who had grown to over 5 meters long and was as thick as an adult's calf.
"That space is special, it can accelerate evolution with beast cores. Let me take a good look."
"System, check Xiao Jin's attributes."
Spirit Pet: Xiao Jin (Male)
Race: Golden Dragon Python
Abilities: Lightning Power (Dragon race's unique lightning attribute attack), Constriction (physical constriction unique to snakes), Thunder Fireball, Tail Whip (concentrates power into the tail for powerful damage).
Level: Bronze Intermediate, possesses dilute Five-Clawed Golden Dragon bloodline (can be enhanced).
Constitution: 30 (20)
Defense Strength: 40 (20)
Xiao Jin had successfully advanced, his attributes had all improved, and he had gained a new ability.
"System, can Xiao Jin continue to advance?"
"Theoretically, spirit pets can advance continuously, but I do not recommend it, host.
After spirit pets advance, they need time to adapt to the changes in their bodies and engage in combat to understand their abilities and fighting styles.
After all, spirit pets are the host's combat partners, and I don't want your spirit pets to be mere showpieces.
The host can choose to use evolution points to enhance the purity of the spirit pet's bloodline. Increasing bloodline purity can accelerate the spirit pet's cultivation and improve their talent.
The first time to enhance spirit pet Xiao Jin's bloodline purity requires 10,000 evolution points.
Does the host wish to enhance spirit pet Xiao Jin's bloodline purity?"
Lin Zhan nodded with satisfaction and said, "Enhance Xiao Jin's bloodline purity." He followed the system's professional advice.
"Enhancing spirit pet Xiao Jin's bloodline purity, deducting 10,000 evolution points. The next enhancement will require the spirit pet to advance to Silver rank."
Constitution: 60 (20)
Defense Strength: 80 (20)
"System, display all my attributes."
Host: Lin Zhan
Race: Human
Abilities: Overlord Blade Body, Lightning Power.
Level: Bronze Intermediate.
Constitution: 30 (20)
Defense Strength: 30 (20)
Spirit: 40 (20)
Cultivation Techniques: Spirit Nourishing Art (Untrained), Hidden Weapon Flying Dragon Spitting Pearl (Untrained), Lin Family Saber Technique (Minor Accomplishment), Thunder Step Flash (Untrained).
Physique Enhancement: Lower Limb Bone Enhancement Progress 1%.
"System, perform the first tempering and enhancement of my entire body's muscles, bones, meridians, and nerves. Upgrade Spirit Nourishing Art, Flying Dragon Spitting Pearl, and Lin Family Saber Technique to Major Accomplishment. How many evolution points will this require?"
"First tempering and enhancement for muscles, bones, meridians, and nerves each require 50,000 evolution points. Upgrading Spirit Nourishing Art and Flying Dragon Spitting Pearl to Major Accomplishment each requires 10,000 evolution points. Lin Family Saber Technique requires 20,000 evolution points.
A total of 240,000 evolution points are required. Does the host wish to proceed with the upgrade?"
"Upgrade everything, and deduce my next cultivation plan," Lin Zhan said after some thought.
"All upgrades are complete. 240,000 evolution points deducted, remaining 100,000 evolution points.
Constitution: 60 (20) points
Defense Strength: 60 (20) points
Spirit: 100 (20)
A cultivation plan has been deduced for the host: The host's physical quality is now capable of fighting beyond their level. The focus should be on training hidden weapons and saber techniques.
In the near future, the host should engage in more sparring to familiarize themselves with their bodily changes, including cooperative combat with spirit pets.
The host's spiritual power has reached 100, allowing for the contract of a second spirit pet.
Both the host and Xiao Jin can fight beyond their level and are not lacking in offensive or control units. It is recommended that the host's second spirit pet be a powerful tank."
Lin Zhan pondered the system's suggestions and wondered whom to spar with. An idea struck him: his three dorm mates.
He took out his phone and dialed, "Old He, are you with Old Jiang and Old Xiao?"
"We're all in the dorm, Lin. What's up?"
"You, Old Jiang, and Old Xiao come to the academy's large training room 103. I need your help with something. I'll treat you guys tonight."
"Alright!" He Dazhuang hung up the phone and said to Jiang Zheng and Xiao Hanyi, "Lin needs us to go over, and he's treating us tonight."
After saying that, the three headed towards the academy's training room.
"Old Lin, what's the big deal that you called us all here? You're not just going to have us spar with you, are you?" He Dazhuang said as he pushed open the door and walked in.
"Brothers, Old He, you're actually right. I called you here to be my sparring partners."
The three were astonished. "Old Lin, have you hit your head training martial arts? You want us, two Bronze Intermediates and one Bronze High-level, to spar with you, a Bronze Beginner?
This is like us beating you up and then you having to treat us to a meal!
Old Jiang, Old Xiao, let's not hold back, let's go!"
With that, He Dazhuang picked up a wooden weapon from the rack and charged at Lin Zhan.
"Old Xiao, do you think Lin is the kind of person who would suffer a disadvantage?" Jiang Zheng said skeptically to Xiao Hanyi.
"Lin has broken through to Bronze Intermediate."
"Hah!" He Dazhuang roared, raising his wooden saber high, his arm in a straight line with the blade, and slashed down at Lin Zhan.
"Bang!"
The two sabers collided. Lin Zhan's expression remained calm. He held his saber with both hands, raised it above his head, and blocked He Dazhuang's powerful strike.
Lin Zhan twisted his wrist, and the blades intertwined. He then swept upwards with his blade from bottom to top.
He Dazhuang drew his saber back to defend. The two blades had just touched.
Lin Zhan flicked his arm again, and the wooden saber slashed from the upper right to the lower left. Sudan Fiction Network.
"Bang!" With a sound, He Dazhuang was hit by the wooden saber and stumbled back a few steps.
He exclaimed in surprise, "Old Lin, you broke through?"
Jiang Zheng, holding a wooden spear, stepped forward. "You're only realizing now? If Lin hadn't broken through, would he have asked us to be sparring partners? Do you think Lin Lao Hei's meals are that easy to get?"
Before he finished speaking, Jiang Zheng spun his spear with a flourish and thrust it towards Lin Zhan's chest.
"Well done!" Lin Zhan shouted, executing a blocking saber strike that landed on the spear shaft. He then spun his blade along the spear and advanced, slashing towards Jiang Zheng.
He Dazhuang rushed forward, thrusting his saber at Lin Zhan. Lin Zhan had no choice but to let go of Jiang Zheng, sweeping his wooden saber horizontally to block the incoming strike.
Lin Zhan transitioned from defense to offense, his saber tip pointing downwards, and a downward cutting strike landed squarely on He Dazhuang's chest.
Jiang Zheng seized the opportunity to withdraw his spear and shouted, "Old Xiao, go!"
Xiao Hanyi, wielding two wooden swords, rapidly attacked Lin Zhan.
"Xiao Jin!" Lin Zhan roared. A golden python nearly 6 meters long and a foot thick, its head raised and crackling with lightning, blocked Xiao Hanyi's path.
The three were stunned for a moment. Lin Zhan drew two small wooden sticks with paint on them and shot them at He Dazhuang. At the same time, he quickly moved to Jiang Zheng's side, his saber held vertically behind his left arm, and slashed heavily at Jiang Zheng, executing the Lin Family Saber Technique's Hidden Saber stance.
After repelling Jiang Zheng, he shot small wooden sticks at He Dazhuang again and quickly rushed forward. He raised his wooden saber and slashed down at He Dazhuang.
He Dazhuang barely managed to block the blow with his wooden saber. Lin Zhan quickly changed his move, his arm and saber in a straight line, and the saber tip pointed straight forward, jabbing at He Dazhuang's chest, knocking him down.
At the same time, he called out to Xiao Jin to use his skill 'Constriction' on Xiao Hanyi and shot small wooden sticks to harass Xiao Hanyi.
