Chapter 102: Sakura Evolves

He didn't overthink it.

Improving a mid-tier Meditation into a personal, exclusive high-tier Meditation is not something that can be accomplished in a day or two.

Even for the many geniuses of the Eight Great Academies, achieving this would take at least three years; few could do it before their senior year. This requires not only talent but also serendipity, and the Beast Master and spirit beast’s levels and strength must reach a certain degree.

In a sense, a high-tier Meditation is a Secret Skill that can only be used internally.

Putting aside irrelevant thoughts.

Lin Chuan and his four spirit beasts played together in this Dream Amusement Park.

If it were a real-life amusement park, there would be many dangerous behaviors and prohibitions that couldn't be done.

But this is a dream!

They could play without any reservations.

He saw Guoguo and Sakura each driving a bumper car and colliding passionately.

It's worth mentioning that in the Dream Amusement Park, no driving skills are required.

Just find the relevant car, sit in it, and drive it however you like.

It's similar to playing a computer game.

Lin Chuan directly drove an oversized dump truck, smashing Guoguo and Sakura's bumper cars into smithereens and sending them both flying like meteors.

The next moment, Guoguo and Sakura were teleported to the amusement park's main entrance.

Guoguo stomped her feet in anger, and Sakura also clenched her small chubby fists, her whole body seeming to ignite.

They immediately drove identical dump trucks to hunt down Lin Chuan, vowing to turn him into a meteor as well.

Before being caught in a pincer attack and turned into a meteor, Lin Chuan instantly jumped out of the car and called out to White Snow. White Snow immediately descended from the sky.

Actions that he wouldn't dare to perform casually in reality, like riding.

At this moment, Lin Chuan used it directly.

Lin Chuan grabbed White Snow's tail, which was still flying and hadn't fully landed. With a strong pull, he flipped himself over into a head-down position and sat on White Snow's back.

Riding White Snow, Lin Chuan laughed heartily.

“Fly, fly! White Snow, don’t let them catch us. I’ll give you extra food tonight.”

Hearing Lin Chuan’s words, White Snow’s big eyes immediately lit up.

Extra food! Yay!

White Snow’s pure white wings fully spread, flapping vigorously, stirring up a gale, and carrying Lin Chuan soaring into the sky.

ε = ε = ε = ε = ε = ┌ ( ; ￣ ◇ ￣ ) ┘”

Watching Lin Chuan take off and fly away like that.

Sakura sighed, indicating she was done playing, then left the dump truck and went with Wan Wan to ride the Ferris wheel.

Guoguo, however, refused to give up. She switched to a mechanical flying saucer, ascended into the air, and chased Lin Chuan, flying all over the amusement park.

In reality, Lin Chuan, whose flying skills were terrible, dared not perform any high-risk aerial acrobatics.

Now, Lin Chuan was making White Snow perform all sorts of tricks.

Two and a half aerial inversions, a spiral ascent in a storm, a falling leaf, a cobra maneuver, a bomb dive—his suppressed inner child was completely unleashed, and Lin Chuan went all out.

Wan Wan and Sakura rode the towering Ferris wheel.

The gondola reached the highest point and quietly stopped there.

Lin Chuan rode White Snow, and Guoguo piloted the mechanical flying saucer, entering and exiting the clouds, weaving between giant block castles, having a blast.

Suddenly!

Lin Chuan, riding White Snow, and Guoguo, controlling the mechanical flying saucer, both charged towards the gondola at the highest point of the Ferris wheel, which was where Wan Wan and Sakura were.

White Snow crashed through the gondola, and Guoguo followed up with another hit.

Wan Wan and Sakura transformed into meteors.

Just like that, Lin Chuan and his four spirit beasts played to their hearts' content.

Laughter and joy.

Filled this Dream Amusement Park.

...

Three hours quietly passed.

The Dream Incense, its last bit of ash fell.

As the incense burned out, the Meditation stopped simultaneously.

The illusory mist that filled the entire Meditation Room quietly dissipated.

Lin Chuan, sitting cross-legged at the main position of the ritual array, was the first to open his eyes.

As the illusory white mist dissipated, Guoguo, Sakura, Wan Wan, and White Snow, the four spirit beasts, successively awoke from their dreams.

Both Lin Chuan and the spirit beasts, such as Guoguo, looked a bit tired at the moment, as if their mental energy had been greatly consumed, but their expressions were very happy.

Dream Amusement Park Meditation.

It was! It was! So much fun!

It was much more fun and interesting than the Flower Moon Dance; one could say the two were completely incomparable!

No wonder, once Meditation became available, almost no one bothered with Synergy Dance.

If Meditation couldn't be used in combat and was only for daily cultivation, Synergy Dance would probably have been eliminated from the development stage of Beast Master civilization long ago.

Lin Chuan closed his eyes, sensing the depth of his contract with the few spirit beasts.

Guoguo, Sakura, Wan Wan—their improvements were not significant.

After all, the synchronicity of these three had already reached 80%, allowing them to communicate directly telepathically. Seeing a noticeable effect from just one session of mid-tier Meditation would be absurd; it wouldn't be mid-tier Meditation, and perhaps even an exclusive high-tier Meditation couldn't achieve it, likely being a legendary divine skill.

White Snow, on the other hand, showed a slightly noticeable improvement.

With just this one Dream Amusement Park Meditation, Lin Chuan could feel the deepening of his contract with White Snow.

It was still far from reaching the level of telepathic communication.

But Lin Chuan could already vaguely sense White Snow's current emotions and guess what she was thinking.

At this moment, what White Snow was probably thinking was:

It was so much fun.

But she was a bit tired, waiting to eat.

Tonight, she wanted roast suckling pig, spicy chicken, and also Dragon Milk. Two big basins!

Oh, and Master said he'd give her extra food. So excited! So excited~

With black lines on his forehead, Lin Chuan smiled helplessly.

What possessiveness, what jealousy.

He finally understood; this was clearly just a gluttonous simpleton!

Wan Wan was nicknamed 'Little Glutton,' but she wasn't a true glutton. Wan Wan wouldn't constantly think about food. Only when she was idle, she might occasionally sneak a few bags of potato chips, reading a book and memorizing knowledge while nibbling on chips like a hamster, her cheeks puffed up.

However, White Snow—she was a true big glutton! A greedy dragon!

In her head, besides eating, it was waiting to eat.

Eating dragon, eating soul.

Forget it, forget it. A big glutton is better than a Yandere, isn't she?

Lin Chuan thought with a heavy heart, pitying his rapidly dwindling account. The star rock coin balance was dropping like water from an open floodgate.

He reined in his thoughts, no longer dwelling on these matters.

Lin Chuan and his spirit beasts together tidied up the Meditation Room.

Ensuring the ritual array setup wasn't disturbed and that there were still resources left. Hmm, they'd continue using them tomorrow.

The resources exchanged this time were enough for 60 Meditations, which is a two-month supply.

Two months later, he would master Meditation, or perhaps even sooner.

By then, he wouldn't need the ritual array; just the corresponding resources and Dream Incense would suffice. While traveling, as long as he found a suitable, quiet, and safe place, he could relatively easily begin meditating.

After tidying up, Lin Chuan let the spirit beasts move freely.

Wan Wan was the first to fly out; she still needed to practice diligently to quickly reach level 25 and reincarnate again.

Guoguo and Sakura left successively. Due to White Snow's large size, she couldn't exit through the small door of the Meditation Room, so Lin Chuan had to first recall her into his Beast Master Space, take her outside, and then release her.

Just as Lin Chuan had recalled White Snow into his Beast Master Space.

Sakura, who had just trotted to the Meditation Room door, suddenly froze completely, as if struck by a petrification skill.

Just as Lin Chuan was wondering what was happening.

Through the contract, Lin Chuan heard Sakura's anxious yet surprised voice.

Master, I'm evolving.

Lin Chuan was stunned.

The next second, endless mist surged from the void around Sakura's body, and a faint, ethereal white light began to emanate from within Sakura's body, little by little.

Lin Chuan snapped back to reality.

Wan Wan also quickly flew back at this moment, her large round glasses tilting several times before being straightened again.

Neither Lin Chuan, nor Wan Wan, nor Sakura herself, had expected her to suddenly evolve at this moment.

Sakura is currently level 22. Why didn't she evolve when she first reached level 22, but suddenly evolved now?

What additional conditions were met?

Were there any environmental factors?

Was it caused by Meditation?

Countless thoughts flashed through Lin Chuan's mind, but they were quickly dispelled. These questions could be thought about and researched later.

The key now was Sakura's evolution.

Could they do anything? It seemed they couldn't do anything.

No!

There was something they could do!

Lin Chuan conveyed his thoughts to Wan Wan through the contract.

Wan Wan immediately used her exclusive skill, ‘Fairy Art · Creation Mode.’

Paper and a pen constructed from Illusion Attribute energy.

Hugging the pen, Wan Wan sang loudly: “Your story, your ending, written by me!”

The next moment, Wan Wan touched the illusory pen tip to the paper, and a drop of ink fell.

Fairy Attribute energy surged out madly. Even though she was now level 15, Wan Wan still couldn't withstand the consumption of this exclusive skill. The skill instantly drained all the Fairy Attribute energy from her body, making Wan Wan dizzy. Fortunately, Lin Chuan acted as a power bank for Wan Wan in time, sharing a portion of his mental energy with her, which prevented Wan Wan from fainting.

Lines of text appeared on the illusory paper.

————

Today, after meditating, Sakura suddenly evolved.

Although this situation was unexpected by everyone.

However, Sakura's evolution went smoothly! Without any accidents.

All the accumulation during this period bloomed like fresh flowers, showcasing the most beautiful colors.

This evolution granted Sakura the maximum possible enhancement.

Sakura's bloodline rank broke through to...

This, this is!!!

————

It was completely different from her previous evolution into a Flower Spirit with the aid of the Spring Flower Ritual.

There was no intense life aura.

No surging Wood Attribute energy.

No dazzling stage effects.

Everything was so quiet, a silence where a needle drop could be heard.

This evolution was entirely dominated by Illusion Attribute energy.

Sakura's body became illusory and ethereal like a mirage, subtly flickering, as if it would vanish into thin air at any moment.

Ethereal white mist pervaded.

Sakura's body gradually deformed and elongated.

The pink flower on her head actually produced overlapping light and shadow.

Gradually, the overlapping light and shadow separated, becoming two identical pink flowers.

The white smoke dissipated.

Sakura's body transformed from the mirage-like emptiness into reality.

Flower Spirit Immortal!

She was largely identical to an ordinary Flower Spirit Immortal, but many details were different.

The leaves wrapped around her body subtly displayed intricate and luxurious patterns, shimmering with an ethereal white light.

Overall.

It was as if a simple, natural-style dress had transformed into an exquisite gown with lace petals.

From an ordinary commoner girl, she had become a noble young lady.

Grace, ultimate grace.

Lin Chuan felt that Sakura at this moment was even more elegant and beautiful than An Qianqian's Flower Spirit Immortal.

The key is!

Through the contract, Lin Chuan felt the aura of bloodline rank from Sakura, which was even more powerful than White Snow's Commander-tier Upper-grade! It subtly reminded Lin Chuan of the feeling he got facing Liu Wenrou's Six-winged Dragon.

This is Monarch-tier Lower-grade bloodline!!

Lin Chuan's eyes widened. Although he had anticipated that Sakura's bloodline rank might break through to Monarch-tier after evolving.

However, the actual breakthrough to Monarch-tier still brought him immense shock.

According to Wan Wan's data model calculations, there was approximately a 30% chance for Sakura to evolve to Commander-tier Mid-grade, a 65% chance for Commander-tier Upper-grade, and only a 5% chance for Monarch-tier.

However, before Lin Chuan could be surprised for another second.

His expression suddenly changed.

Sakura's evolution, her bloodline rank, instantly broke through from General-tier Mid-grade to Monarch-tier Lower-grade.

Coupled with the 80% contract depth synchronicity.

A terrifying, super-massive surge of Illusion Attribute energy feedback came.

In just an instant, it overwhelmed Lin Chuan's brain, making him dizzy, as if he had drunk fake alcohol, and he completely passed out.

At the same time, Lin Chuan's Beast Master level.

From level 13, it instantly shot past level 14, then reached level 15, and the experience bar was still growing wildly.

Finally, it stopped at the threshold of level 16.

Level 15, 99%!
