After they filled their stomachs, the group headed into the already set up tents to rest.
Zhou Luo called out the recently contracted Dark Snake Dragon Lizard. He wanted it for companionship as he stood watch, as well as to form a deeper bond with it in the meantime.
The Lava Dragon Lizard continued helping the Ethereal Jellyfish disturb the ocean floor to collect the Floating Silver Strands laying in the depths.
A thunderous yawn soon sounded out from Liu Jie’s tent, signifying his exhaustion.
The Mother of Bloodbath and Endless Summer went back to tearing off the Cold Snow Pine’s bark.
The Mother of Bloodbath handled spiritual ingredients very professionally.
The job was almost done, and the Mother of Bloodbath had been extremely thorough. It even turned the Cold Snow Pine’s tree bark into hemp thread. It planned to give it to Wen Yu to make something for Lin Yuan.
Listen utilized the downtime to start training the Pain Illusory Fox and the Three-Tailed Crimson Fox. He used the resonance between the clashing of the Pain Illusory Fox and the Three-Tailed Crimson Fox to improve their battle compatibility.
Lin Yuan noticed that the way Listen was training the Pain Illusory Fox, and the Three-Tailed Crimson Fox partially encompassed his own special brand of understanding.
Lin Yuan had enhanced the Silver VII/Fantasy I Pain Illusory Fox, and it was deemed a rather exquisite spirit-type fey.
The Pain Illusory Fox used pain as a medium to control and harm its targets.
It was an intangible means of fighting.
Compared to the Silver VII/Fantasy I Pain Illusory Fox, the Silver III/Fantasy I Three-Tailed Crimson Fox was a step above.
Thanks to the compatibility of their abilities, they were able to form a good partnership.
Although its constantly burning three tails gave the Three-Tailed Crimson Fox the look of a fire-type fey, it was undoubtedly a spirit-type fey.
The fire, which burned atop its tails, could weaken its targets and lower their defensive ability if it made contact. This strengthened the Three-Tailed Crimson Fox’s spiritual abilities, whether it was the damage it dealt or the level of control it could exert.
The Three-Tailed Crimson Fox also possessed a hypnotizing ability.
In solo combat, due to the fact that every spirit qi professional mostly had many feys, attacking power was key in securing victory.
Thus, a fey like the Three-Tailed Crimson Fox, which had controlling abilities, was not particularly helpful in solo combat.
However, when it came to team fights, the Three-Tailed Crimson Fox’s abilities would have great efficacy on the opponent’s main feys.
It was highly likely to be a key player in such fights.
When Listen heard Lin Yuan approaching, he stopped the fight between the Pain Illusory Fox and the Three-Tailed Crimson Fox.
The Three-Tailed Crimson Fox laid down by Listen’s leg and nestled on the ground as its three large tails lightly rested on Listen’s trousers, all in all looking very contented
The Pain Illusory Fox called softly to Listen, who nodded.
The snow-white Pain Illusory Fox darted to Lin Yuan with only a few steps. Its small claws landed on Lin Yuan’s leg, waggling as though it was greeting him before it returned to Listen’s side.
The Pain Illusory Fox clearly still remembered that Lin Yuan had helped it advance its grade and quality.
Listen assumed that Lin Yuan came over to issue an instruction.
“Young Master, does Big Brother Zhou need help?” he asked.
Lin Yuan shook his head and reached out to pat down the stray strands of hair at the back of his head.
“Listen, you’re of age and have enough power now. Do you have any plans to participate in the guild club’s S Tournament?”
Lin Yuan remembered that when Listen had mentioned his Star Web duel record, he had said his Star Tower level was just past level ten.
Given Listen’s power, he should have no problem reaching the Celestial Stairway.
However, Listen had never gone to fight, which could indicate that he did not like competitive fighting.
Even if Listen used a Willpower Rune to swear his undying loyalty to Lin Yuan, the latter would still be unable to force him to join his guild club.
Listen paused for a while. “Me?” he murmured unconsciously.
During his pause, Listen thought back to his childhood.
My elders always focused on preparing me as the sole heir to the Listening Heron Chamber of Commerce. My days were filled with lessons on managing the Listening Heron Chamber of Commerce and expanding its reach.
My elders might have been willing to part with half of the Listening Heron Chamber of Commerce’s resources so that I could have powerful feys and abilities, but they never allowed me to fight on Star Web. They always thought it was a waste of time that could have been spent on learning how to manage the business.
As time passed, I became used to setting aside the joy I felt when fighting on Star Web. Even after my family died at sea three years ago, I continued working hard to maintain the Listening Heron Chamber of Commerce. I didn’t have any time or energy to devote to fighting on Star Web.
However, I’ll admit that sometimes while training my feys, I take the opportunity to improve my own fighting abilities.
I never expected Lin Yuan to ask me to join his guild club…
Of course, I would love to join! I can’t believe he asked!
Ever since I pledged my and the Listening Heron Chamber of Commerce’s loyalty to him, he poured a lot of resources into the Listening Heron Chamber of Commerce. But I still haven’t made anything of myself. If Lin Yuan didn’t secretly protect me, I would have lost my life at the Royal Capital.
During this time, I’ve come to realize that he’s a good man who is easy to get along with. Being in his presence is relaxing. However, I’m constantly aware of my position as his subordinate. This said, he must be treating me like a friend rather than a subordinate since he’s willing to invite me.
Listen was touched beyond comprehension and chuckled at Lin Yuan’s question.
“Big Brother Liu and I started a guild club. We plan to join next year’s S Tournament. The name of the guild club is Dome Guild Club. As of now, we’re the two main members of the group. You’ll be the third if you decide to join.”
