Guoguo reached Tier 2.
White Snow also awoke from her slumber and reached Level 19.
So, next, it's time to prepare for Guoguo's evolution and White Snow's reincarnation.
Lin Chuan planned to find a suitable place.
A good, stable, and thorough closed-door cultivation.
It must be a sufficiently stable and safe environment with complete training equipment.
This is why Guoguo's leveling speed has been so slow, due to the lack of a long-term stable environment.
You know, back at the Sixth Academy, there was no need to worry about safety, resources, or training equipment. Sakura could cultivate and train to the limit every day, so it only took two and a half months to re-evolve into Flower Spirit.
What about Guoguo?
Resources are abundant, but the training equipment obviously cannot compare to that of the Sixth Academy. As for safety, it goes without saying. Although Guoguo is not the chief personal guard now, it will still reserve energy and a certain amount of stamina and spirit during training to prevent emergencies.
Therefore, including the half-month spent accumulating academic credits and resources before departure, plus the time since arriving in the Dongyang Alliance, it has been nearly four and a half months in total.
Guoguo has only just reached Tier 2.
This speed is too slow.
If this continues, it is feared that by the time the six-month deadline arrives, Guoguo will not be able to evolve back into its Flower Spirit state.
So, where is safe? Where can it be stable? And where is the training equipment complete?
Where can he, Lin Chuan, completely not worry about his own safety, and allow all his spirit beasts to train to their limits every day?
The answer is only one!
Kyoto City!
It's not Katori Chion, but the Star Rock Federation Embassy.
The Dongyang Ten Families, and Katori Chion, despite being very polite and treating him, a visiting student from the Xingyan Federation Sixth Academy, with courtesy, giving him many privileges and benefits, ultimately, they are not his own people, and cannot make Lin Chuan truly and completely feel at ease.
In this foreign land, only the Star Rock Federation Embassy can make Lin Chuan truly trust.
Thus, after four months.
Lin Chuan scurried back to Kyoto City, arriving at the Star Rock Federation Embassy.
The Star Rock Federation Embassy is located in the most prosperous area in the center of Kyoto City.
This is a consistent style of the Star Rock Federation's actions.
They like to build important buildings in the most conspicuous places, and the Beastmaster Association in their own country is like this.
Whether it is a town-level, city-level, or prefecture-level Beastmaster Association headquarters, they will be built in the most prominent place in the city.
At the Star Rock Federation Embassy, about 10 meters from the entrance, there are two Kylin statues.
They are statues, but Lin Chuan faintly felt a faint spiritual fluctuation on these statues, which seemed to contain the power of some mysterious skill, and an invisible pressure was naturally released.
When Lin Chuan approached, the eyes of the two Kylin statues actually moved, and their gazes all focused on Lin Chuan.
The next second.
The sense of pressure on the Kylin statues disappeared, and instead, a feeling of intimacy was transmitted to Lin Chuan.
Further inside, two Professional Beastmasters, dressed in the black Xingyan Federation Government military uniform with Kylin patterns, stood on either side of the embassy's main gate.
The Second Academy among the Eight Great Academies, also known as the War Academy, is an academy specifically for cultivating legion-type Beast Masters.
Students who graduate or complete their studies from the Second Academy generally join the military of the Star Rock Federation and are assigned to various mysterious places to guard.
These two Professional Beastmaster guards, although soldiers, are most likely not graduates of the Second Academy.
Because graduates of the Eight Great Academies, especially military personnel from the Second Academy, are generally not sent abroad. Even if they are sent abroad, it is to carry out important tasks, such as intervening to mediate a war between two human nations, or eradicating anti-human cults, and will not be sent as diplomatic Stationed personnel.
Lin Chuan came to the side of the two standing soldiers, who still stood ramrod straight.
The one on the left looked at Lin Chuan, then nodded slightly to Lin Chuan, signaling that Lin Chuan could enter.
Is that all?
No further inspection needed?
A middle-aged man appeared silently.
As if able to see through Lin Chuan's doubts, he explained with a smile.
"The Kylin statues at the entrance have already inspected you."
"Welcome to the Star Rock Federation Embassy."
"Hmm, just treat this as the territory of the Star Rock Federation, treat it as your own home. Is there anything we can help you with?"
Lin Chuan turned his head and saw the middle-aged man who had appeared silently beside him.
He was burly and strong, with a full beard, light blue eyes, and wore a pair of wooden-framed glasses. Overall, he was a handsome middle-aged man, the kind who could charm young girls and married women alike.
"Excuse me, are you?"
Lin Chuan asked politely.
"Sorry, I forgot to introduce myself. My name is Qiu Tongyue, and I am the head of the security department of this embassy. Well, I am the superior of those two standing guard at the entrance."
Qiu Tongyue introduced, then continued.
"Student Lin Chuan, you don't need to introduce yourself. I know your situation. If you need any help, you can just say it directly."
"Or did some Dongyang person bully you? Tell me, and I'll take you to get justice."
Saying that, Qiu Tongyue looked eager to try.
Lin Chuan hesitated, always feeling that this Uncle Qiu seemed to really want him, Lin Chuan, to be bullied, as if he just wanted to show off.
"That's not the case."
Lin Chuan said.
"Really not?"
Qiu Tongyue asked unwillingly again.
"Really."
"Think again!! For example, if someone cursed at you, that counts too!"
Lin Chuan: "…"
"That Katori Chion, she tricked me and made me eat terrible food. Also, Katori Chion's six-year-old female imp clone, she called me trash. Uncle Qiu, can you help me catch her and give her a beating?"
Alright, if he really wants to stand up for him, Lin Chuan will give him this chance.
Qiu Tongyue's expression immediately froze.
If Katori Chion had really harmed Lin Chuan, then Qiu Tongyue would definitely have taken Lin Chuan to her door to demand an explanation.
But, eating some terrible food and being called trash by that female imp, what kind of big deal is that? Such minor situations are not worth his intervention!
"..., I'll take you to block that female imp at the elementary school gate. I'll keep watch for you, and you can hit her yourself."
Qiu Tongyue thought for a moment, and finally said this.
Lin Chuan was speechless and rolled his eyes.
He felt more and more that this Uncle Qiu was unreliable. He actually wanted to block someone at an elementary school gate?
And keep watch, letting him hit her himself? Are you sure it's not the other way around, keeping watch for the female imp and letting her hit him?
"Minister Qiu, I'm not here because I was bullied and looking for support. I want to borrow the embassy's spirit beast cultivation and training grounds for closed-door cultivation. Is that possible?"
Lin Chuan asked directly.
The Star Rock Federation grants special privileges to students of the Eight Great Academies, allowing them to use all official facilities.
But it also needs to follow the rules. If the relevant facilities are already occupied by others, then there's no way to use them.
Qiu Tongyue nodded.
"There are still vacant training rooms and related facilities, but there are no Tier 1 or Tier 2 training rooms. The lowest are Tier 3 training rooms for Professional Beastmasters. Can you handle it?"
Tier 3 training rooms, isn't this just right!
Tier 2 training rooms are already a bit insufficient for his current spirit beasts.
Tier 3 is just enough pressure. With pressure, there is motivation.
Lin Chuan indicated that there was no problem at all.
Since Lin Chuan was confident, Qiu Tongyue would not say anything.
"You can use any facilities and props here, but it's not free. According to the price of the same-tier training rooms at the domestic Beastmaster Association, you can register with the clerical staff, pay the relevant fees for the use time of the training room."
Qiu Tongyue said.
So, Lin Chuan came to the clerical department.
Then, Lin Chuan met Du Feiyang, the clerical staff member who had hitched a ride on the same plane to Dongyang.
Seeing Lin Chuan again, and confirming that Lin Chuan had not been confused and corrupted by the colorful world of Dongyang, still a loyal Star Rock person, still the future star of the Star Rock Federation, Du Feiyang was truly happy.
At the same time, Du Feiyang also felt very distressed.
Lin Chuan himself didn't feel anything.
But after four months apart, Du Feiyang's feelings for Lin Chuan were very obvious.
He found that Lin Chuan had grown a lot taller.
He had also lost a lot of weight, and his skin had become much darker, even though he was so fair and plump before.
So, after helping Lin Chuan register for the training room rental procedures, Du Feiyang took Lin Chuan, along with some other clerical staff members of the embassy and several Professional Beastmaster soldiers stationed there responsible for security, including Qiu Tongyue, to a dinner party. He had the cafeteria chef prepare a table full of authentic Star Rock delicacies.
During the dinner.
Du Feiyang and several other older staff members desperately put food on Lin Chuan's plate, wishing they could pour the entire plate of dishes and pot of soup down Lin Chuan's throat.
Du Feiyang drank some wine, and with the alcohol getting to his head, he started cursing.
Not at Lin Chuan, but at the entire Dongyang.
He cursed very crudely, saying that Dongyang, this desolate and remote place, had nothing good, look at how it had tormented the precious treasure of the Star Rock Federation.
"Don't mind him, Old Du, that's just his personality."
"Using a popular internet term nowadays, he's a 'male mother'."
Another clerical staff member, a capable and concise young woman with glasses named Song Yuqian, said to Lin Chuan with a smile.
Of course, Lin Chuan wouldn't mind, only feeling a subtle emotion and some gratitude.
In the nation of Dongyang, perhaps only these people here truly cared about him.
"How were your gains these past few months?"
A stationed Professional Beastmaster soldier named Cheng Qian, a handsome young man around twenty-five, asked Lin Chuan.
"Not bad, I gained a lot."
"I met traveling Beast Masters from the Tianlong Empire and the Holy Heaven Ancient Kingdom, got to know them, and sparred with them."
"I explored the Mist Forest for two months and encountered the legendary Light Unicorn."
"Then I went to Huye Plain and visited the Qian Gu Family."
Lin Chuan briefly recounted his experiences during this period.
When it's time to reveal, it's still necessary to reveal some things, which will make it easier to explain later.
"My spirit beasts and I have all gained considerable opportunities."
The clerical staff were excited to hear this. Their own abilities were insufficient to truly embark on the path of Beast Master transcendence, but hearing Lin Chuan's stories was as if they had experienced everything themselves.
The Professional Beastmaster soldiers were also very interested.
Lin Chuan's experiences over these four months were more exciting than all of many of their own experiences to date.
One can only say, as expected of a direct descendant of the Federation, blessed by the auspicious aura of the Kylin, with extraordinary luck.
He was even able to encounter a Light Unicorn and gain an opportunity.
It's truly like the autobiography of a Heavenly King, encountering legendary and even Mythic Rank demonic beasts during adventurous travels and obtaining opportunities.
"Oh, right, after this, some things might happen in Dongyang. Brothers and sisters, please be careful."
Lin Chuan thought of the Light Realm, that black lake, and the Ghost Shadow Dragon that was about to be born.
The clerical staff all had puzzled expressions. Something will happen in Dongyang?
Compared to the clerical staff, the security Professional Beastmasters seemed unsurprised, as if they knew something.
Just as Lin Chuan was about to explain in detail, describing the situation of the Ghost Shadow Dragon and the potential disaster.
Qiu Tongyue put a large chicken leg on Lin Chuan's plate.
At the same time, his voice directly sounded in Lin Chuan's mind.
【No need to explain. Those who need to know already know the situation. These ordinary clerical staff don't need to know too much detail, otherwise, it's easy to cause panic.】
【Just focus on your closed-door cultivation here.】
【For certain things, just wait for them to happen. You only need to witness this history that is about to unfold, let it become a part of your experience, and serve as nourishment for your growth.】
Immediately, Lin Chuan closed his mouth.
At the same time, Lin Chuan sighed in his heart, realizing he had underestimated the Star Rock Federation, and underestimated the Three Great Nations of humanity.
Since he had already been guided by fate to the Light Realm and seen the Ghost Shadow Dragon that was about to be born.
How could the Star Rock Federation have no reaction at all?
Perhaps, if he hadn't returned to the embassy this time, the embassy would have sent someone to find him at an appropriate time.
