Beast Taming Patrol

After the competition ended, Lin Su did not leave.

He quietly watched the arena, after his own match concluded, and the subsequent battles that took place one after the other, with an inscrutable look in his eyes, pondering something unknown.

Previously, Lin Su had never paid attention to how the Beast Tamers of the Martial Spirit World actually fought.

Before the preliminaries, he hadn't interacted much with the other Beast Tamers in the guild either.

On the first day of the preliminary competition, Lin Su was scheduled to fight in the second match.

At that time, when Han Wang captured him and performed hypnosis, Lin Su was preoccupied with how to save himself and didn't notice how the match before his own had ended or what the subsequent battles were like. After receiving some tips from Mu Yuxing, he hurriedly left the competition site.

As for the battles that followed, since they were unrelated to Lin Su, he never came to watch them.

It could be said that this was his first time seriously studying how Beast Tamers of the Martial Spirit World used their companion beasts in combat.

After watching closely, he had to admit that Senior Mu was right.

In many of the later battles, the Beast Tamers used extreme strategies, completely disregarding the lives of their companion beasts, focusing only on victory.

Such practices and concepts were indeed not uncommon in the Martial Spirit World.

But the more this was the case, the angrier Lin Su became.

He patiently watched the dozens of battles that afternoon, and only after the first day of the second round of eliminations ended did he return to the inn with Mu Yuxing.

Though he wasted an afternoon that could have been spent on meditation and training, it was not without gains.

Regarding how he might correct the entrenched ideas of the Martial Spirit's Beast Tamers and teach them to treat their companion beasts kindly, Lin Su already had some thoughts.

However, these ideas were not something that could be realized right away.

For now, the most important thing he needed to do was advance in the preliminaries.

...

Time flew, and seven days passed.

After a week of regular study at Blue Star, Lin Su gradually got used to the normal life at Beast Tamer University.

The curriculum at Beast Tamer University was slightly more relaxed compared to the high school level, and most of the courses posed no great difficulty to Lin Su, who had already studied ahead during the summer vacation. So, he spent almost every class focused on meditation.

Many of the teachers from the research department were researchers from the research institute. Strictly speaking, they could even be considered Lin Su's colleagues.

In this context, everyone naturally didn't pay too much attention to Lin Su's inattentiveness, opting to turn a blind eye.

What's more...

Lin Su, the Beast Tamer, might not have been attentive in class, but Qiuqiu, the companion beast, was very serious about attending.

Initially, it just sat quietly beside the communicator, listening intently to the lectures without drawing attention from the teacher and other students. But later, when it realized that it could ask the teachers questions during break time, the situation became a bit peculiar.

Qiuqiu couldn't make anyone other than Lin Su understand its intentions.

But it had an older brother who could communicate through Weaving Dreams.

The skill to teach Weaving Dreams wasn't particularly difficult to learn; once mastered, Qiuqiu was able to use it within a few minutes.

Therefore, every time, Qiuqiu would reluctantly tug Qiuqiu along for the Q&A session, having Qiuqiu convey its questions to the teachers through Weaving Dreams, and then having the teachers help answer them.

Over the week, the teachers became familiar with this exceptionally studious companion beast, so much so that when they criticized a student for being distracted during class, they would say...

"Learn from Qiuqiu, pay attention in class!"

During this week, as Qiuqiu accompanied Lin Su and Qiuqiu to classes, it didn't miss out on its own tasks.

Its daily training skills changed from previous ones like Frost Silence Storm to Spiritual Power teaching skills like Shaking God Roar and Weaving Dreams.

Shaking God Roar was a skill that consumed a significant amount of Spiritual Power with each use, so after discussing it with Lin Su, Qiuqiu decided to utilize the Beast Tamer Tower for assisted training.

The Beast Tamer Tower was the perfect place for training skills that consumed a lot and were measured in usage frequency.

The other new skill, Weaving Dreams, was much more convenient to train for.

This illusion-based skill didn't make much of a stir when cast and didn't affect others, so Qiuqiu only needed to use Weaving Dreams to conceal itself, influencing the surroundings with Spiritual Power to remain undetected, allowing it to train the skill at all times, even while attending classes with Lin Su and Qiuqiu.

Both of its new skills had reached Level II in a week's time, acquiring preliminary combat capabilities.

Qiuqiu was not the only one with new skills; Qiuqiu also kept up with training.

Before the start of the round-robin matches, following the second round of the knockout, Qiuqiu's Devouring of Nihility finally reached Level III.

This skill was highly useful for Qiuqiu, playing a decisive role in many past battles.

Moreover, this skill was not found in the Martial Spirit World, so whenever it was used in the preliminaries, the results were very impressive.

As proficiency increased, the energy consumption of Devouring of Nihility gradually decreased, while its power continued to grow. Before, Qiuqiu's limit was to use Devouring of Nihility consecutively only two or three times. With the breakthrough to Level III, it could now perform the skill over a dozen times in succession.
