Chapter 154: Cooperation Oath! (Seeking Monthly Votes)
After the battle ended, Lin Su didn't linger on the spot for long.
Through this battle, he realized that his strength still fell short by a great margin.
Though unsure how to bridge the gap between Qiuqiu and Ghost and those of the imperial race.
But all in all, striving to become stronger was the way forward.
In the final moments, his strongest defensive skill had no ability to resist against those two imperial race guardian beasts, which was also a considerable blow to Qiuqiu and Ghost.
After the battle, the two guardian beasts seemed a bit dejected, but perked up again with Lin Su's encouragement, deciding to train even harder in the hopes of unleashing greater power and performing better next time they encountered their opponents.
After seeing them through the Beast Taming Tower, Lin Su spent the day training alongside his two little companions as the time quickly passed.
It wasn't until nightfall that Lin Su's two guardian beasts, exhausted, were recalled into the Beast Taming Space for recovery.
After returning the two guardian beasts to the Beast Taming Space, Lin Su, who had been meditating all day in the hopes of soon upgrading the Beast Taming Space to the fourth tier, lay on his bed with a look of anticipation on his face.
This time after returning to Blue Star, he would undergo the Cooperation Oath.
Only after completing the Cooperation Oath would Lin Su obtain the Tuning Jade, and attempt to master Guardian Beast Co-operation in combat.
After personally witnessing the dominance of the imperial race, Lin Su was certain there were only three ways for a Beast Tamer like him to defeat an equal tier imperial race guardian beast: by elevating most of his skills to tier IV and thereby dominating higher-tier races through superior skill level, by continuing to increase his baseline energy levels and surpassing those of the imperial race as a sovereign race beast, or through Guardian Beast Co-operation, overtaking them in a clever way.
The first two methods were difficult, as not only was he progressing, but his opponents would be as well.
And even if it were possible, it wouldn't be an overnight achievement.
Therefore, the only way to surpass the two Beast Tamers contracted with imperial race guardian beasts in the finals and claim one of the two spots was through Guardian Beast Co-operation.
This also filled him with a sense of urgency to master Guardian Beast Co-operation before the finals.
And with that, he was brimming with anticipation for this cross-world journey.
He closed his eyes, and the crossing began!
...
"Captain! Over here!"
In the vast plaza in front of the 11th District Beast Taming Association's headquarters.
Spotting Lin Su's figure in the distance amidst the crowd, Zhao Tianchen quickly waved his hand and shouted.
Hearing the call, Lin Su looked around and, guided by Qiuqiu's reminder, soon spotted Zhao Tianchen and the other members of Xing Yun's team, quickly making his way through the crowd to meet them.
"It's been a long time," Lin Su said with a smile, seeing the people he had trained and fought with in the Guardian Beast Co-operation camp.
"The schedules for the practical and research sections are very different, so we hardly get to see each other," Zhao Tianchen sighed lightly. "I had hoped we could gather for a meal, but we've just started the semester and it's already so busy."
"No worries, take the chance to improve yourself now," Lin Su said softly, then glanced at the others, "How much longer until the Cooperation Oath starts?"
"It will start in about fifteen minutes, but we have no idea how it actually works," Ye Han said, pushing up his glasses with a helpless look. "I've asked some seniors who have been through it, but they all avoid the topic. I guess, like the Co-operation camp, the Cooperation Oath has a confidentiality agreement."
At this, everyone couldn't help but show a look of helplessness on their faces.
"There is indeed a confidentiality agreement," Lin Su nodded, then coughed softly and lowered his voice, "I've heard there's no mortality rate, but there is a certain risk of injury, though I'm not sure where that risk comes from. In any case, let's be careful."
"I asked my dad, and he said the same thing," Zhao Tianchen nodded in agreement. "Everyone be careful later on, don't let your guard down."
"Eh?" Zhang Xiaoyu blinked, "Isn't it just an oath ceremony?"
"How could it be?" Han Yu, overhearing this, muttered softly, "This is the Cooperation Oath that together with the Co-operation camp makes up the two assessment hurdles. If it were that easy, that would be great."

"Seems so..." Zhang Xiaoyu scratched his head and laughed awkwardly.
While waiting for the Cooperation Oath to begin, people chatted quietly. Soon after, three men dressed in staff uniforms emerged from the main gate of the Beast Taming Association.
As they appeared, the chatter among the groups on the plaza quieted down a bit.
"Hello to all the freshmen from Mountain City University," the leading man began with a smile, his voice spreading to every corner of the plaza with the help of a handheld loudspeaker. "You will soon undergo the Cooperation Oath in batches due to space constraints, limiting the number of people in each oath session to two hundred, which may require up to sixteen sessions."
"For convenience, let's sort you by the combat teams you were a part of in the Co-operation camp, you all still remember your combat team numbers, right?" The man joked in a timely manner.
"We remember!" The crowd responded in unison.
At the mention of the Co-operation camp, they seemed to recall the scenes of fighting alongside instructors and comrades on the battlefield, each voice involuntarily growing a bit louder.
