“Yes, that’s right,”
Lin Su said, adjusting to a manual teaching environment in the intelligent training room, and pointing at Qiuqiu, “Channel your energy toward the center of your palm as much as possible. Let’s start practicing with your right forepaw, which you’re more accustomed to using. After you’ve fully mastered that, we can try the other paws.”
“Mee! (｡✪ω✪｡)” (Understood!)
Qiuqiu nodded vigorously and, following the steps Lin Su had taught earlier, began to gather as much of his ice power as possible into the center of his palm. It wasn’t until his palm could not gather any more that he gently pressed against a large rock in front of him.
The moment his palm touched the rock, the accumulated ice power exploded, infiltrating the inside of the rock.
The surface of the rock was already coated with a thin layer of frost, which thickened immediately under the burst of power from that palm strike.
“Not bad, there’s improvement from last time, but the ice power still isn’t solid enough. Keep it up,” Lin Su encouraged with a smile, squatting down and patting Qiuqiu’s head.
“Mee!” (Continue!)
After returning to Mount Da Institute, Lin Su had packed up his luggage from District 1 and prepared the luggage he would take to District 32 tomorrow, then he took Qiuqiu to the intelligent training room to start training for Ice Palm.
This skill training method wasn’t difficult, but mastering Ice Palm required many practice attempts. Although Qiuqiu’s current execution seemed convincing, it still fell short of the weakest power level of the Ice Palm Stage Ⅰ.
However, Lin Su wasn’t too anxious.
Due to experiences traveling between two worlds, Lin Su hadn’t been able to spend as much time coaching and encouraging Qiuqiu as he did initially. More often, he was busy with his own matters, leaving Qiuqiu to practice alone in the intelligent training room or train with friends from the God of War world.
Now, with some rare free time, both of them were enjoying this time together, and Lin Su could tell that Qiuqiu seemed to be deliberately slowing down his training pace, but he didn’t criticize the little guy too harshly.
An afternoon passed by as they played and practiced together until the sun gradually set. Qiuqiu gently placed a paw on the big rock, and an extreme chill burst forth instantly. The rock could no longer withstand it, cracking open a glaring fissure, splitting in two. A clear trace of frost could still be seen deep inside the rock, and only then did Lin Su nod in satisfaction.
“Alright, that concludes our training for Ice Palm.”
“Mee?” (What are we going to do next?)
“Let’s go eat first,” Lin Su said as he shut down the power of the intelligent training room and the icy training environment quickly dissipated. He casually picked up Qiuqiu, opened the access control, and continued as they walked out, “After eating, we’ll stroll around the nearby shopping district, buy some special products from District 11, and bring them back tomorrow to the brothers and sisters at the orphanage.”
“Mee! ฅ(≧ω≦)ฅ” (Yay!)
…
After energetically strolling through the entire shopping district with an armful of bags, they returned to the institute’s dorm when it was quiet at night.
After sorting the purchases by category, Lin Su set aside the luggage he needed for tomorrow’s departure to make it easy to take with him when he got up in the morning. Then he looked at Qiuqiu, who was lazily lying on the bed.
“We’re almost ready to head over to the God of War world.”
“Mee!” (Storm the Beast Taming Tower!)
“Right, after storming the Beast Taming Tower, I’ll continue with my meditation practice, and you can train with Lightning Fox and the others,” Lin Su said softly, looking at the obedient Qiuqiu, his face tinged with guilt, “Sorry, I haven’t really been around to train with you lately.”
“Mee~Mee!” (It’s okay~ Your progress in the Beast Taming Space is also helping me!)
“You little rascal,” Lin Su said with a laugh, gently picking up Qiuqiu and rubbing his head, “Let’s go into the Beast Taming Space.”
A flash of pale yellow light, and Qiuqiu had disappeared, entered into the Beast Taming Space.
Turning off the room light and setting the alarm time on the communicator, Lin Su slowly closed his eyes.
When he woke up, he had arrived in the God of War world.
The experience from storming the sixth layer yesterday made Lin Su realize that the current level wasn’t something he could conquer. There might be a chance after Frost Storm broke through to Stage Ⅲ.
But the problem was that he was entering the Nirvana Secret Realm tomorrow, and there was no way to elevate Frost Storm to Stage Ⅲ in just one day.
Therefore, Lin Su had directly skipped the sixth layer this time, let Qiuqiu storm through the first five layers, trained Frost Storm seven hundred and sixty times with the Dream Crystal Stone, and then took it out of the Beast Taming Union.
He had some regrets in his heart. Once Qiuqiu stepped out from the Nirvana Secret Realm, completed his evolution, storming the Beast Taming Tower wouldn’t be as simple anymore. Thus, now might be Qiuqiu’s last chance to exploit the Tower.
According to the rules of the Beast Taming Tower, the evolved Qiuqiu would face opponents from the elite class · lower monarch species instead of the current juvenile stage · high elite species.
Facing new opponents, Qiuqiu’s past achievements would be cleared, and he would have to start from scratch from the first layer once again, which was not an optimistic situation.
In the Beast Taming Tower, the lower the rank of the beast, the easier the challenges, and the faster the progress.
