“President Li, what is your opinion?” Song Yun slightly raised her eyes, looking towards Li Zhe.
“Sigh…” Li Zhe sighed softly, his face darkening, “Tang Hao was at fault from the beginning, and I have no objections, he was wrong, so let him bear the responsibility himself.”
At this moment, he was too angry to speak. He had not expected that the so-called excellent Beast Tamers within the Union could behave like this.
The projection continued, and when Zhou Qiyi mentioned that the ancient mirror could monitor the interior of the secret realm, Qi Yunhan raised his eyebrows slightly, looking towards Song Yun.
The ancient mirror’s ability to monitor the situation within the secret realm was mainly out of concern for the disciples entering the realm who might encounter dangerous situations and fail to crush the teleportation card in time. At such times, people outside could control the ancient mirror to forcibly teleport the person out, to prevent real life-threatening danger.
This was considered a second layer of insurance beyond the teleportation card.
Although the secret realm was a land of opportunity, it was also a place for trials, which is why the Beast Taming Union intentionally placed juvenile and elite stage magical beasts within it.
If the disciples entering it knew that their lives were not in danger and had no sense of crisis whatsoever, then the purpose of the trial would be completely lost.
For this reason, although there is no explicit rule, not revealing the capabilities of the ancient mirror to the disciples entering the realm ahead of time is considered an unwritten rule.
Unexpectedly… Song Yun had actually told her disciple.
Song Yun’s expression was slightly embarrassed, she felt helpless within her heart, her concern for her disciple had led to confusion. She thought that telling her disciple this information would make him feel more at ease, but when she told her disciple this detail, she forgot to instruct him not to spread the word. Now that the other two had discovered it, she truly felt awkward.
“That… I regard this disciple as my own, so I favored him a bit, I am truly sorry…” She coughed lightly, with a somewhat embarrassed expression as she spoke.
“Hehe, it’s alright, no harm done,” Qi Yunhan smiled.
Zhou Qiyi saving Lin Su, it was as if he owed Song Yun a favor, so naturally, he turned a blind eye at this moment.
As for Li Zhe, he was in no mood to care about these matters.
Soon after, the space within the ancient mirror flickered, and a nervously pale Tang Hao walked out from within. With just one glance at the projection that still hovered in the sky, his expression turned to utter despair.
“Alright, that should be it for the matters here,” the Seven-Colored Cloud Crane muttered, its long wings brushing against the ancient mirror, and the projection in the sky quickly disappeared.
…
Inside the secret realm, a completely defeated Tang Hao didn’t need Zhou Qiyi to take action. Upon learning that all his actions were being watched from the outside, he seemed to drain of the last ounce of his strength and listlessly crushed the teleportation card in front of the two of them.
With Tang Hao’s departure, the atmosphere between Lin Su and Zhou Qiyi immediately improved.
“Brother Zhou, thank you for stepping in, otherwise I might have been in danger just now,” Lin Su said, still somewhat shaken by the recent events.
He and Qiuqiu were only a hair’s breadth away from being seriously injured.
“I just happened to be nearby and heard some commotion over here,” Zhou Qiyi smiled, “Let’s not talk about that now. We should hurry and take our beasts into the Nirvana Pool. With only two days, it’s urgent that our beasts complete their evolution, and then we can continue to search for supernatural resources.”
“Right,” Lin Su nodded, looking at Qiuqiu in his arms, who had regained vitality and was staring eagerly at the Nirvana Pool not far away, and he chuckled softly, “Let’s go in first.”
Evolution within the Nirvana Pool was conducted in a very different manner than in the outside world.
In the outside world, after absorbing evolution resources and using evolutionary techniques, it didn’t take long for the beasts to complete their evolutionary process.
However, in the Nirvana Pool, this evolutionary process was much slower. The evolution would not happen instantly but instead, through the special forces within the Nirvana Pool, would promote the beast to absorb more evolutionary resources, thus giving the beast a chance to evolve into a stronger form.
Standing on the stone platform at the edge of the Nirvana Pool, Lin Su took out batches of evolutionary resources required for Qiuqiu’s evolution from his Space Ring, allowing Qiuqiu to hold them in its mouth temporarily. Then he took out the eye core of the Fear Demon Statue of the dominion stage and gave it to Qiuqiu to hug.
After completing these steps, Lin Su took out two jade boxes from the Space Ring once again.
Within one of the boxes was the level five ice element supernatural resource that Qiuqiu had obtained, the Cold Heart Jade Marrow, and inside the other was an additional resource, the Ice Crystal, a level four ice element supernatural resource.
The latter was something he had prepared in advance for Qiuqiu to use as an extra resource in the Nirvana Pool; unbeknownst to him, he would acquire an even better Cold Heart Jade Marrow in the Nirvana Secret Realm.
With that, it seemed like the original Ice Crystal might not be needed anymore.
However…
Lin Su pinched his chin.
“Perhaps two supernatural resources could be used together?”
No one had ever stipulated that only one additional evolution resource could be used.
With this thought, he made his decision, “Qiuqiu, let’s use both resources together and take a gamble!”
“Mew mew…” (%@#…)
With several supernatural resources in its mouth, Qiuqiu’s speech was somewhat unclear, so it simply nodded to express its consent.
With Lin Su’s assistance, Qiuqiu quickly took the Cold Heart Jade Marrow and Ice Crystal into its mouth, ensuring that not a single evolution resource was missed before leaping into the Nirvana Pool.
As Qiuqiu entered the Nirvana Pool, the misty vapors on the water’s surface grew denser, eventually completely covering the entire pool so that nothing inside could be seen, only the five-colored glow radiating from within painted the cluster of mist with variegated hues.
Now, it was a matter of waiting for Qiuqiu’s evolution.
Lin Su let out a slight sigh of relief and turned his gaze to Zhou Qiyi at his side.
Zhou Qiyi’s Dragon Azure Beast had also entered the Nirvana Pool to commence its own evolution. The two Guardian Beasts each occupied a corner of the Nirvana Pool to ensure that they wouldn’t interfere with each other during the process.
As the Dragon Azure Beast departed, Zhou Qiyi’s gaze came over, and he quickly walked over to sit on the stone platform beside Lin Su.
“In such a dangerous moment earlier, you should have crushed the teleportation token as quickly as possible,” Zhou Qiyi glanced at Lin Su, “After getting out, tell Union President Qi. I believe he will seek justice for you.”
Lin Su shook his head, “The teleportation token can only transport the Beast Tamer himself. By the time I realized I should teleport away, my Guardian Beast was already engaged in aerial combat. At that distance, I couldn’t recall my Guardian Beast to the Beast Taming Space. If I left directly, my Guardian Beast would be trapped here.”
“But isn’t the life of a Beast Tamer more important than that of a Guardian Beast?” Zhou Qiyi couldn’t help but interject.
Lin Su’s eyebrows furrowed slightly.
Zhou Qiyi wasn’t the first to raise this question; the previous one was Mu Yuxing.
When Mu Yuxing asked him, Lin Su had not long arrived in the world of divine warriors and thus did not understand why someone would ask such a question. However, after experiencing more of this world and seeing more, Lin Su had come to understand why Zhou Qiyi would ask.
In the eyes of almost all Beast Tamers in this world, the life of a Beast Tamer is more important than that of a Guardian Beast.
Perhaps it’s because of the influence of martial arts experts, or perhaps it’s because this world lacks the special fighting method of Guardian Beast Co-operation that requires a heartfelt connection with the Guardian Beasts. In the eyes of the vast majority of divine warrior Beast Tamers, Guardian Beasts are weapons, servants, tools for battle, and not partners who combat together. freewebnvel.coɱ
With these considerations in mind, Lin Su turned his head and looked seriously at Zhou Qiyi, “I believe Guardian Beasts are partners of the Beast Tamers, they are comrades entrusted with each other’s lives, and should never be abandoned.”
“Your thinking is quite unusual,” Zhou Qiyi raised an eyebrow, “You’re probably the first Beast Tamer I’ve met who thinks this way.”
“In my opinion, Beast Tamers provide Guardian Beasts with a better environment for growth, offer them various supernatural resources, and help them evolve to become stronger. In return, it’s only natural for Guardian Beasts to fight under the command of the Beast Tamers. This is equivalent exchange, isn’t it?”
“But a Guardian Beast Contract shouldn’t be like this,” Lin Su sighed softly, “In my view, after the Guardian Beast Contract is formed, the Beast Tamer and the Guardian Beast should have a heartfelt connection, and should be the best partners and comrades. The relationship between them should not be a transactional one like equivalent exchange.”
“Alright then.” Hearing Lin Su’s firmness, Zhou Qiyi responded helplessly, “I respect your opinion.”
Below the stone platform, Lin Su’s shadow started to ripple like water at this moment.
Outside, the Seven-Colored Cloud Crane suddenly turned its gaze towards Qi Yunhan, “What’s the name of the kid you brought along?” Experience the magic at freewebnovel
“Lin Su,” Qi Yunhan replied with a hint of confusion, “Senior, what about him?”
“Nothing,” the Seven-Colored Cloud Crane shook its head, not wishing to say more, yet its eyes held a trace of a peculiar gleam.
Lin Su, huh…
He’s an interesting young man.
