It can’t be helped, who lets their assistant slack off every day.
When Qi Yunhan left, Mu Yuxing glanced at Lin Su, “How is your progress in formulating energy liquids now?”
“Most of the energy liquids can now reach the perfect level,” Lin Su honestly answered in response to the senior’s questioning.
During this period, he mainly focused on meditation, not paying much attention to the formulation of energy liquids, but thanks to his high talent, he had still made some progress by analogy.
“That’s already quite good,” Mu Yuxing nodded slightly, “Formulating is only a side job, beast taming is the main thing, but your Beast Taming Space is already at the third tier, not far from the fourth tier, you should also start preparing for the energy supplement problems of commanding tier beasts in the future.”
“Does senior mean I can start trying to advance the energy liquids?” Lin Su blinked and asked.
The energy liquids he was currently formulating were only basic energy liquids targeted at the juvenile and elite stages. When reaching the commanding stage, the effectiveness of these liquids would be minimal, so naturally, he had to use the more effective advanced energy liquids.
“Once all your basic energy liquids can reach perfection, you’ll be about ready.” Mu Yuxing nodded, “However, that’s not something to rush; the most important thing for you now is to prepare for the preliminary competition next month, all other matters can be postponed.”
“I understand,” Lin Su nodded.
“Alright, go tend to your business,” Mu Yuxing nodded slightly, watching Lin Su stand up to leave, then slowly spoke, “The subordinate beast you chose is very good, keep it up.”
“I definitely will,” Lin Su nodded, gently closed the door, and left.
“Hee! (｡⊙‿⊙｡)” (That person praised me!)
Just having left Mu Yuxing’s office, Qiuqiu, following behind Lin Su, excitedly waved its little claws.
In its view, there was nothing more joyous than being recognized by others and deemed worthy of Lin Su.
“You are already very outstanding.” Seeing this, Lin Su smiled and petted Qiuqiu’s head.
“Meow! (｡òωó｡)” (Me too, me too!)
“Alright, alright.” Lin Su grinned, extended his other hand, and stroked Qiuqiu’s head; after a while, he stood back up, “Let’s go, we should return to training and digest the skill proficiency from the Beast Taming Tower.”
“Meow! ฅ(≧ω≦)ฅ” (Charge charge charge!)
“Hee! (≧▽≦)” (Alright!)
…
Upon returning to the Lin Family, Lin Su immediately arranged new training tasks for the two beasts.
Qiuqiu had finally advanced its Frost Silence Storm to the third tier, but having just advanced, it was still somewhat struggling against the third-tier opponents, so the most important task now was to continue training Frost Silence Storm and quickly master the newly acquired skills.
As for the substitute skill for Qiuqiu, it absorbed the Dream Crystal Stones from the first three floors of the Beast Taming Tower today, the one hundred and sixty training sessions all focused on the Substitute skill, giving this skill quite a workout. If it continues at this rate, advancing the Substitute to the third tier within one or two weeks should be no problem.
So for now, the training targets would still be Flying Knife Skill and Shadow Concealment.
Having set the training tasks for the two beasts and watching them start their individual training in the backyard, Lin Su thought for a moment, walked out of the backyard, and headed towards the Lin Family’s martial training field.
As a family grounded in martial arts in Yongnan City, the atmosphere of practicing martial arts within the Lin Family was quite strong. Whether it was toddlers learning to speak or men and women in their prime, they would practice martial arts during the day at the training field, exchanging insights and even occasionally, Lin Su could hear shouts from the training field in his own backyard.
In comparison, Lin Su, who spent his days in the backyard either meditating or formulating energy liquids, did indeed seem like an anomaly.
Upon stepping into the training field, the scent of sweat mingling with the turbulent waves of Qi and blood hit him in the face. Seeing the countless people on and around the huge square, consulting and sparring, Lin Su felt a bit weird.
Having been in this world for two months now, this wasn’t his first time witnessing this scene, but each time he saw it, Lin Su was still profoundly affected.
It was the shock of witnessing a whole new system, apart from being a Beast Tamer.
Not far from Lin Su’s side, a corner of the training ground held several large vats filled with dark brown liquid. Children, no older than five or six, were held by their parents inside the vats, with only their heads showing. Despite their cries for help, the parents never let go.
Outside the vats, there were many children who hadn’t yet entered. Seeing the others already in the vats crying, they showed frightened expressions, turned their heads, and tried to run away, but their parents firmly held them back.
Although Lin Su no longer practiced martial arts, having been in this world for so long, he still had some common sense.
What these children were undergoing was the initial step required in the Body Refining Realm, body tempering; the liquid in the vats was called body tempering liquid. The experience inside was far from pleasant, feeling burning hot all over, as if scorched by the sun, making it unbearably itchy and painful.
Watching those children screaming and crying miserably, Lin Su couldn’t help but crack a smile.
Although he had no memories, he could guess that his own childhood was probably spent crying under his father’s cruel treatment in this same body tempering liquid.
Next to the body tempering liquid was another odd-shaped pool built from bricks and stones, resembling a swimming pool, filled with a pale brown liquid that continuously emitted steam.
Several teenagers, about ten years old, dressed in short clothes, sat cross-legged in the pool, letting the liquid soak their bodies. Compared to the five or six-year-old children, they appeared much more composed, showing only pained expressions on their faces, clenching their teeth tightly, never shouting in pain, not needing any forceful interference.
This was the second step of the Body Refining Realm, Bone Tempering; the liquid in the pool was called Bone Tempering Liquid, which had the effect of refining the bones.
The completion of body tempering and bone tempering signified the completion of the Body Refining Realm. Once they reached eighteen, the Beast Taming Space would fully mature, and martial artists could then draw the power from the Beast Taming Space, transforming it into inner strength that flowed through their meridians, known as the Meridian Opening Realm.
“Su, why did you come to the training ground today?”
A voice appeared next to Lin Su. He came to his senses and turned to look at the newcomer.
It was a young man slightly resembling Lin Su in features but taller by half a head due to his long-term martial training. He was dressed in a martial artist’s attire which was completely soaked with sweat, clearly indicating that he had just been practicing.
This was the son of Lin Su’s second uncle, named Lin Ye, a cousin a half-year younger than Lin Su.
In the Lin Family, Lin’s father was the head of the household. Aside from distant relatives, Lin’s father also had a brother, Lin Su’s second uncle.

There were no vicious family disputes in the Lin Family. Lin Su’s second uncle was quite decent to him. After Lin Su had just awakened, his second uncle had come to visit him several times, bringing some supplements and showing great concern for Lin Su’s recovery. His cousin Lin Ye had grown up with him from a young age.
However, due to his amnesia, their relationship had somewhat cooled.
“Little Ye, I just broke through to the third level of the Beast Taming Space, so I came over to have a look,” Lin Su said with a smile, looking at Lin Ye. “I heard from my father that you’re participating in the preselection for the grand competition between nations, correct?”
The young man wiped the sweat from his forehead, showing a proud expression upon hearing this, “Our Lin Family has three martial artists participating in the preselection, and I am the strongest among them. I have already greatly advanced in the Meridian Opening Realm, and maybe I can achieve completion before the preselection! By the way, Su, will you participate in the Beast Tamer’s preselection?”
In front of Lin Su, the youth had no pretensions, appearing somewhat naive. freёweɓnovel.com
“I will,” Lin Su nodded and smiled lightly. “If I’m free at the time, I might even go to the spectator stands to cheer you on.”
“That would be great! I heard the preselections for Beast Tamers and martial artists are held separately but simultaneously, and both in the capital city. We can look out for each other then!” Lin Ye’s eyes lit up, his face showing added joy.
After chatting for a bit, Lin Su finally brought up the purpose of his visit, “Little Ye, have you seen my father?”
“Ah? Uncle? ” Lin Ye scratched his head, looked around the training ground, and quickly pointed somewhere, “Over there.”
Following the direction Lin Ye pointed, Lin Su quickly saw the familiar, burly figure in the distance.
At that moment, Lin’s father appeared very different from the somber and serious father he had seen in the past, dressed in a sky-blue martial artist’s attire, sitting cross-legged in mid-air. A long spear, more than three meters in length, lay horizontally before him, emanating boundless sharpness, with deep purple electricity continuously leaping along its length.
Head of the Lin Family, the Thunder Spear, Lin Zhen Nan!
Martial Realm, Sky Soaring Realm!
Capable of striking down a monarch!
