Chapter 138 Chapter 138
weekend.
Thinking about the training appointment with Xia Muqing, Yuan Feiyu got up early and spent some time to carefully fix her bangs and do a little hairstyle.
The cold spirit curled up in a ball, huddled in the warm quilt and refused to get up. He dragged it out with all his might and gave it a serious word of advice: "Elves who get up early catch worms. Training is like rowing against the current; if you don't move forward, you will fall behind. Diligence makes you proficient; playfulness makes you lazy. The key to a day lies in the morning..."
Cold Spirit: "..."
I really want to shut up my own beastmaster.
Yuan Feiyu was very happy.
In order to stay alert, he went to bed early last night. Although he tossed and turned in bed for a long time and couldn't fall asleep... he didn't feel sleepy at all at this moment.
After thinking hard for so many days, he finally found an opportunity to overtake others. How could he not cherish it?
"Whether or not I can join the main team for the inter-school competition depends on today's results!"
Taking the yawning contracted elf with him, Yuan Feiyu rushed straight to the training ground with high spirits.
But the next second, he was stunned.
——The training ground was packed with people, just like a large-scale spring outing.
The key is that they are all familiar faces, all members of the Fighting Club, and they are strong obstacles on his way to competing for a place on the home team.
The "roadblocks" were not surprised to see him coming. Instead, they waved and greeted him enthusiastically: "Hey, classmate Yuan, you're here quite early!"
Yuan Feiyu was bewildered and stunned: "No, no, why are you all here?"
Obstacle A: "What do you mean we're all here? Of course we're here. Isn't Xiao Xia the Divine Beast Master going to give us group training today?"
Roadblock B: "Why, didn't you come here just after receiving the message? That shouldn't be the case. Wasn't the message sent by the president to the group yesterday?"
Yuan Feiyu: “???”
Yuan Feiyu's smile, which had been on her face all night, finally froze.
He indeed hadn't seen the message, because he turned his phone to silent mode last night for fear of disturbing his rest... But that wasn't the point. The point was who could explain to him how it was that he had begged for the guidance opportunity, so how did it suddenly become a collective activity of the Combat Club?
What advantage does he have here?
"Xia, Mu, Qing!"
So untrustworthy!
Yuan Feiyu gritted his teeth and squeezed out a few words. Just then, someone walked through the crowd and answered from behind him: "What's the matter?"
Yuan Feiyu: “……!”
He turned around suddenly.
Xia Muqing was standing behind him, with her head tilted, her eyes innocent and clear.
Yuan Feiyu puffed out her cheeks, but within seconds she lost her temper again. She wiped her face with tears in her eyes, "No, it's okay. Thank you for your hard work."
It was easy to understand, after all. Xia Muqing was also a member of the Combat Club and even the Honorary President. With the inter-school competition approaching, she was organizing a training camp to help the members improve their skills. There was nothing wrong with that.
All I can say is that Yuan Feiyu’s little thoughts were dashed.
However, Yuan Feiyu is not an ordinary person. After the initial disappointment, he quickly adjusted his mentality.
After all, the guidance of the divine beast master is something you can only come across by chance.
"It's okay. What if everyone trains together? Everyone has different learning abilities, so it's uncertain how much each person can absorb!"
Yuan Feiyu picked up the cold spirit and said seriously, "Come on, Xiaohan, you are the best!"
Cold Spirit: "..."
The master is so cool.
At this time, Xia Muqing had already walked to the center of the training ground.
The bright light in the venue focused on her, casting a faint golden glow on her pretty face, as if the moon was surrounded by stars, shining brightly.
“There are three main things I want to teach you today.”
Under the gaze of the crowd, Xia Muqing smiled and waved, "Xiao Jin."
"roar!"
The little golden dragon soared into the sky, its body rapidly growing larger in mid-air. Amid the admiring gasps of the club members, it transformed into a mighty golden dragon with five claws flying.
——Without the energy accumulation of the Yin-Yang Butterfly, its body is smaller than when it was in the seventh area, but it can just fit into the training ground.
And for all the members, this body shape is enough.
They looked up at the sky in a daze, watching the golden dragon circling and dancing under the high dome. Its scales looked like the most majestic armor. When it turned around and pounced towards them, a strong wind blew up, and its dragon whiskers fluttered freely at its side.
"roar!"
The golden dragon roared at them with great momentum, swung its long tail, and its body seemed to be entangled in an invisible giant pillar, crashing into them fiercely!
In an instant, the ears of all the people and mysterious beasts present felt a buzzing, as if they saw a tsunami crashing into the sky and mountains collapsing!
Skill, shake the Jiao Palace!
This is also the powerful skill that Xia Muqing recommended to the little koi after its evolution, in addition to the skills it has comprehended on its own. Combined with the gravitational force field it has comprehended, it can greatly shake the surrounding air and energy when used, giving people a shocking feeling like the collapse of heaven and earth.
This skill suits Xiao Jin very well. It has achieved remarkable results not long after practicing, and there is still a lot of room for improvement. After mastering it, it will have different effects depending on the environment - for example, in the water, there is more room for the skill to be used.
The Gilded Sky Dragon was a genuine divine beast, and because it was a dragon, its aura was inherently stronger than other profound beasts. Watching the golden dragon soar into the sky, the profound beasts couldn't help but feel awe and awe in their hearts, let alone facing the fierce wind of the "Shaking Dragon Palace" head-on?
For a moment, the students and the mysterious beasts were blown all over the place. Some of them were even almost blown out of the door. They hurriedly stretched out their claws to hold on to the door sill tightly, and their fur was all messed up.
There was a lot of screaming in the venue.
At this moment, the golden dragon swung its tail, and a brilliant golden halo appeared under its body.
The aperture expanded to a radius of three meters, located right below the golden dragon, where the gale was the strongest.
The students put their arms in front of their foreheads to barely resist the strong wind, looking at the scene in surprise, and Xia Muqing's voice rang in their ears again.
"The first one is called courage."
"The Gilded Sky Dragon is powerful, and with the might of the Divine Beast, it's normal that our Mystical Beasts can't defeat it. But given the huge disparity between the enemy and us, can we still remain steadfast and charge forward?"
"Can you never give up the slim hope and persist in your pursuit of victory under any circumstances?"
"Everyone, students, let your mysterious beasts charge forward and unleash their strongest abilities! Give it your all and enter the aperture!"
As soon as he finished speaking, the little golden dragon raised its head and howled in cooperation.
Its long, slender tail slapped the ground hard, and each slap sent out a strong shock wave. The invisible waves piled up layer by layer, like endless waves, pressing towards the students of the Combat Club.
"Bang! Bang! Bang!"
The students' mental strength could not withstand such strong pressure, and they could only stay where they were. However, they were all little geniuses among the beastmasters. After hearing Xia Muqing's words, they immediately realized what they should do and commanded their own beasts to sprint into the circle.
Seeing the quick reactions of the students from the Battle Club, Xia Muqing's lips curled up slightly, a gentle smile appearing in her eyes. She had learned the aperture technique from Senior Jinlong's trials, and it was perfect for her classmates to practice.
In the corner, Wen Shaohao and Ji Jingming were watching the training process. They were very curious about the content of Xia Muqing's training. When they saw the shock wave of the Gilded Sky Dragon, they clenched their fists in surprise and joy.
"If I can withstand the pressure of a divine beast... no, if I can get used to this kind of pressure from facing a powerful enemy, then I won't be intimidated by any enemy during the competition!"
After all, no matter how strong the enemies in the inter-school competition are, they can never be stronger than the Gilded Sky Dragon!
Ji Jingming could fully imagine the results of this training. After the students had experienced it, their confidence would also increase a lot - after all, they had all fought against divine beasts. They even dared to charge at the gilded sky dragon. What else could stop them?
At least at the inter-school level, they will no longer be afraid of any psychological warfare.
After a moment, Wen Shaohao's eyes flickered: "No, it's not just about not being shocked by the enemy."
"She is also training the members to find opportunities. How to calmly look for attacking opportunities even in extremely disadvantageous situations - look!"
His finger pointed forward, where several clever beasts gradually grasped the pattern of the air wave fluctuations of the "Han Jiao Palace" and were trying to take advantage of the gaps to rush forward and approach the aperture in one go.
Although they were overturned by the stronger air waves in the circle the next second and rolled out of the circle, in Wen Shaohao's eyes, this performance was already commendable.
A flash of lightning flashed through his mind, and he suddenly said, "Ji Jingming, let's not be idle either. Let's quickly take note of those students who have performed well."
Although it is a training camp, it can also be regarded as an assessment.
Taking this opportunity, Wen Shaohao decided to screen the members, identify those with strong will and focus on training them.
…
Ten minutes later, the air wave stopped.
The light circle solidified, and the pressure disappeared. The mysterious beasts who had finally squeezed in knew that the first round of training was over. They also breathed a sigh of relief and collapsed to the ground, panting with their tongues hanging out.
The golden dragon shrank back to its mini version, slipped back onto Xia Muqing's shoulder, raised its head proudly, and spit out a golden bubble at the panting mysterious beasts.
In fact, at the final stage, it also released water.
We have to give the members some chance, otherwise if Xiao Jin goes all out, none of these mysterious beasts will be able to enter the light circle.
Looking at the mysterious beast in the circle, Xia Muqing nodded with satisfaction.
The number was greater than she had imagined, which was good, as it meant that most people were not scared off by the high-intensity pressure in front of them, and were still trying to attack until the last second.
Even if the little golden dragon gives them an opportunity, they still have to work hard to seize it.
In the dark, Ji Jingming opened the memo on his phone and wrote down the names of all the people who had joined the circle.
There was not much rest time. After a few minutes, Xia Muqing raised her hand again.
"Are you all ready? The second training session is about to begin," she called out with a smile, "Xiaofeng, it's your turn."
“Ouch!”
The Gale Dog jumped out of the mysterious beast space. When it landed, the wind was howling and it was covered with spiritual light. It quickly transformed into the tall and mighty Feng Luo Lord.
After mastering the power of space, the aura around it also subtly changed. A mysterious gray color faintly appeared in the depths of the deep blue lines on its cheeks, and its deep blue pupils became even deeper.
If someone stares closely at its eyes, it won't take long before they feel dazed, as if they are standing above the boundless sky, facing the vast galaxy that spans eternity and lasts forever.
The students both respected and feared Lord Feng Luo.
Compared to the little golden dragon that had just evolved, they were more aware of the power of the divine beast in front of them, and they also realized more clearly that the difficulty of the second training round would definitely be higher than the first.
We must cheer up and take it seriously!
The members quickly adjusted their states, and the mysterious beasts also held their breath and concentrated under their command.
On the opposite side, Lord Feng Luo took a deep breath, his hair stood up, and he suddenly exhaled a blizzard mixed with countless ice spikes!
"call--!"
The mysterious beasts had just been stunned by the shock wave from the little golden dragon, and were then hit by a heavy snowstorm. They were instantly frozen and shivering as the temperature in the training ground suddenly dropped by dozens of degrees.
The temperature is only the most obvious crisis. What really makes them difficult to move forward is the ice spikes hidden in the wind and snow. Each one is no longer than a fingernail, but they are endless, like fragments torn from icebergs in extremely cold places, containing a chill that can freeze the soul!
The wind and snow came quickly and suddenly, and many mysterious beasts had no time to dodge and were hit directly by the ice spikes.
The moment they touched the fur and scales, the ice spikes quickly spread into a large ball of frost. The mysterious beasts felt as if their entire skin and muscles were frozen by the ice, unable to move.
Some of the animals whose paws were hit were frozen in place and became living targets. The blizzard came down on their heads, and within seconds, the whole animal was frozen in the big ice block. Only through the transparent ice crystals could one see its stunned and frightened eyes.
Students: “……!”
The mysterious beasts: "!!!"
Lord Fengluo didn't give them any face at all!
Not only that, Ji Jingming, who was watching nearby, also turned on his camera. The "click-click" sound of the filming fell into the ears of the mysterious beasts, making them feel even more depressed.
Dark history, this will definitely become a dark history in the beast's life.
In order to avoid being frozen in the ice and making a fool of themselves, the mysterious beasts tried their best to avoid the wind and snow, but they were only concerned with the baptism of wind and frost in front of them and did not notice that a large piece of ice crystals was frozen silently under their feet.
And more than ten seconds later, the invisible mysterious force followed the claws of Lord Feng Luo on the ground and quickly melted into the ice crystals. The frost on the ground suddenly exploded, and countless sharp spikes pierced out from the ground!
Skill, Frost Thrust!
It is not difficult for Lord Feng Luo to comprehend an attack skill with the same attributes as "Blizzard". After all, he has even gnawed over the hard bone of Time and Space Lock. Learning another ice attack skill is a piece of cake for him.
After the qualification assessment, Xia Muqing also felt that the skills learned by her own beasts were still a bit insufficient, and lacked variability in combat, so she took several beasts to make up for the lack of lessons during this period.
“Sizzle!”
More than a dozen mysterious beasts had no time to dodge and were pierced by the ice blades one after another, their bodies frozen into ice cubes of varying sizes.
Only a few mysterious beasts reacted quickly, or took precautions from the beginning, and avoided the sudden attack from underground.
The students looked at their own frozen profound beasts, their eyes still darting helplessly back and forth, and felt a sense of suspense. Some even muttered quietly, "Why would they launch a sneak attack? They're clearly so much stronger than us..."
Even if he doesn't use this trick and just confronts head-on, no one can be a match for Lord Feng Luo.
Facing everyone's puzzled gazes, Xia Muqing raised her eyebrows slightly and said calmly, "This is the second thing I want to teach you. Be cautious, or in other words, always stay rational and think and judge calmly."
"Does a powerful mysterious beast necessarily underestimate its opponent?"
"Does a guy who looks strong and simple-minded necessarily have no brains?"
"Is the weak enemy also deliberately paralyzing you, holding on to a killer move that could turn the tables in an instant?"
"Don't let inertial thinking and stereotypes constrain your thinking. No matter what kind of opponent you face, no matter how strong or weak they appear, you must remain 100% vigilant. This is the only way to ensure everyone's safety to the greatest extent possible."
"Of course, what I'm talking about isn't just referring to this inter-school competition. While inter-school competitions are important, we all need to look beyond that."
Every word Xia Muqing said came from the bottom of her heart.
This was also the most important thing she learned from the battles with the Mountain Erosion Ape and the Prison-Suppressing Lock - the seemingly stupid Mountain Erosion Ape could also use the deceptiveness of his appearance to delay time, and the powerful Prison-Suppressing Lock, after discovering that he could not defeat the little golden dragon, his first reaction was to run away, and even Lord Feng Luo's Space-Time Lock could not stop him.
The mysterious beasts are extremely intelligent, and the mysterious beasts in the alien space are even more experienced and shrewd. When fighting with them, you can't relax for a moment.
"If Lord Fengluo's ice spikes didn't freeze the beast, but penetrated it, that strike would have been enough to render 50% of you incapable of fighting."
This was Xia Muqing's polite statement. The truth was that if Lord Feng Luo's attack had hit home, many mysterious beasts would have died on the spot.
No chance of rescue was given.
After hearing Xia Muqing's words, the students were stunned for a moment, and many of them showed thoughtful expressions.
They had not personally experienced the battle with the Dark Beast King, so their understanding of this point might not be as profound as Xia Muqing's, but with today's training, they had an impression in their minds, and when encountering similar situations in the future, they might be more vigilant and have more hope.
The students were still thinking hard, while in the corner, Wen Shaohao had a complicated expression. After a long silence, he sighed deeply.
He is about to graduate and is currently carrying out his internship. His understanding of the dangers of the alien space far exceeds that of other combat club students. Even Ji Jingming is far inferior to him in this regard.
Therefore, Wen Shaohao also knew best the weight of Xia Muqing's words.
"Xia classmate...she really took a lot of trouble."
Class after class not only teaches students the skills for inter-school competitions, but also allows them to gain insights that will benefit them throughout their lives through personal experience.
And it's not the kind that just talks for nothing.
Everyone can talk about principles, but Xia Muqing let the two divine beasts take action personally and teach the students lessons through practical actions, which is far more impressive than a few dry words.
Wen Shaohao looked at Xia Muqing's back and felt that her slender body looked extremely tall at this moment.
After a moment of trance, a thought suddenly flashed through his mind - yes, because the other party is no longer just standing in the perspective of a student or president, but is taking responsibility as a beast tamer, imparting experience, and protecting the beast tamers around him with practical actions.
"Compared to her, the pre-match training I had planned seems so child's play."
Ji Jingming wiped his nose helplessly: "The starting point is too high... Oh, how can I lead the team?"
Wen Shaohao didn't know whether to laugh or cry: "She teaches spiritual principles, and you lead everyone in practical training. These two things are not contradictory."
He could see that Xia Muqing was mainly here to strengthen the students' spiritual willpower, not to improve their paper strength.
Although it did not directly improve his strength, the tempering of his will was very important and even more rare, so Wen Shaohao was still very grateful to Xia Muqing.
As for the paper strength, let's leave it to him and Ji Jingming.
Thinking of this, Wen Shaohao touched his chin: "Courage, caution... I'm a little curious, what will this last lesson be?"
As the finale of the class, we can’t just rush through it, right?
But Wen Shaohao couldn't think of a more crucial point. Ji Jingming beside him also started thinking: "Unity? Wisdom? Perseverance?"
"Hiss, that all makes sense. Oh, that's not right. Doesn't Xia have three mysterious beasts? Two have already competed. Shouldn't the Yin-Yang Butterfly be in the third round?"
"But the Yin-Yang Butterfly..."
Wen Shaohao and Ji Jingming looked at each other, both somewhat puzzled.
Xia Muqing has three mysterious beasts, two of which are divine beasts. Among them, the main pet Feng Luo Junjun was the first mysterious beast to be promoted to a divine beast, and it is also a new evolved type. It has always been Xia Muqing's right-hand man. The koi fish has accumulated a lot of experience and evolved into a gilded sky dragon, which almost shocked everyone.
Although the third Yin-Yang Butterfly is also very powerful, it is still far inferior to the two divine beasts.
Why is it the finale?
"Could it be... a dream?"
The Liangyi Butterfly possesses a powerful "dream-entering" skill that can awaken the deep consciousness of the mysterious beasts, thereby helping them to better understand themselves and improve their abilities. Ji Jingming and Wen Shaohao have both heard of this.
"But entering a dream is a single-target skill!"
Normally, it can only be used on one mysterious beast at a time, but right now there are at least a dozen students and dozens of mysterious beasts on the scene.
Moreover, this skill is not effective for all mysterious beasts, especially for many powerful mysterious beasts. If the dream is not real enough and is quickly discovered, it will not achieve the purpose of arousing the desire in their hearts.
Wen Shaohao and Ji Jingming looked at each other, confused. Xia Muqing had already summoned the last mysterious beast: "Xiao Zi, come out!"
The Yin-Yang Butterfly emerged gracefully, dancing in the air. The edges of its black and white wings were covered with a faint golden light, which seemed to be a reflection of the lights in the training ground. But if you look closely, the golden light is like strands of golden threads woven into delicate silk, and with every flap of the butterfly's wings, it emits a brilliant and mysterious luster.
The mysterious beasts raised their heads nervously, waiting for the last class.
In the air, a flash of purple light passed through the eyes of the Yin-Yang Butterfly. Its flying speed increased, and butterfly powder fell from the air, shining like dots of phosphorescence.
Some of the mysterious beasts were quick-witted and were about to dodge the butterfly powder, but they heard Xia Muqing say with a smile: "Everyone, don't move. This is not an attack, but the last thing I want to give to everyone."
"Beastmasters and contracted profound beasts, do you still remember the original goal of embarking on this journey?"
"Do you remember the first time we met, the nervousness and excitement?"
"Do you remember the first skill you learned, the first moment we fought side by side, the first exhilarating battle?"
"And every gift we gave each other, every joy of winning a match, every day and night of sweating on the training ground..."
Following Xia Muqing's clear voice, butterfly powder fell on the shoulders of the students and the mysterious beasts. They were in a trance for a moment, and countless scenes flashed before their eyes.
The first time I walked into the mysterious beast breeding facility, I excitedly brought home a little creature barely bigger than my palm. I carefully fed it day after day, constantly honed it in the training grounds, and then stood on the competition field and the examination hall, overcoming all obstacles and defeating all enemies. We walked side by side all the way forward...
There is the joy of success and the loneliness of failure, but no matter what, they always stand together and embrace each other to overcome difficulties.
The butterfly powder fell to the ground and turned into a hazy purple smoke, gradually covering the entire venue.
In the smoke, some easily moved students' eyes were already red, and some were rubbing their eye sockets vigorously. They looked at the scene of themselves three years ago, hugging their contracted profound beast and crying loudly after losing a battle. At that time, they were only concerned with sadness, but they did not see that the Tibetan golden dog in their arms was crying while stretching out its furry little paws to wipe his eyes, and the black and white pupils were full of guilt.
Yes, ever since that failure, the Tibetan Golden Dog had quietly extended his training time, never acting like a spoiled child even when exhausted to the point of collapse. Their strength rapidly improved, and that's how they managed to turn the tide in the college entrance exam and were admitted to Yanjing University.
The student covered his mouth with his hands, tears streaming down his face.
This is their contracted mysterious beast, the partner they will fight alongside for life!
In the eyes of the mysterious beasts, they also saw many scenes that they usually didn't notice.
The beastmasters bought the best nutrients and evolution materials for the beasts, but quietly canceled the mini-dresses they had long pre-ordered. After the training ended and the mysterious beasts fell asleep exhausted, they would still silently burn the midnight oil, diligently studying beastmaster knowledge. To increase the probability of successful evolution, they spent all their pocket money on supposedly online aphrodisiac supplements, only to discover that they were actually just a bag of starch...
“Woo woo!”
This is their beastmaster. Even though he is clumsy at times, he is the master they have decided to follow for the rest of their lives!
Tears flowed in the training ground. The mysterious beasts and students couldn't help sobbing, while in the corner, Ji Jingming and Wen Shaohao were staring with their eyes wide open.
"This, this isn't a dream! Dreams don't have such a large range or such strong power!"
"So strong, so strong! The Yin-Yang Butterfly is so powerful! Classmate Xia's mysterious beast is really not an ordinary one!"
Compared to Ji Jingming, whose eyes sparkled and saliva streamed down his cheeks, Wen Shaohao was more focused on the training results. He pointed a trembling finger towards the field, "I don't know what skill it is, but it's definitely related to 'entering a dream.' And if I'm not mistaken, this is probably a multi-person dream."
"Link the consciousness of the profound beasts with that of their beastmasters, strengthen spiritual communication, and resolve the inevitable misunderstandings and barriers in daily life. Only when both parties trust each other can they unleash their greatest power..."
“High, really high!”
In this way, the intimacy between the beastmaster and the mysterious beast is directly maximized, and in the future, whether it is training or fighting, it can exert 200% effect!
"It seems that this last class is 'Partners'."
Wen Shaohao said with deep emotion: "These three classes taught by classmate Xia have really opened my eyes. The students of this class are really lucky to be able to catch up with her class..."
Before he finished speaking, the situation in the venue suddenly changed.
As the golden light fell, the purple mist turned into spiral air waves. After merging with the golden light, it turned into a romantic pink in the blink of an eye!
The scene seen by the beastmasters changed rapidly, and the illusions in the eyes of the mysterious beasts also changed - they seemed to have grown a lot in the blink of an eye, no longer standing in the narrow training ground, but standing in the endless wasteland, with their feet on the extremely solid ground.
In the distance, dust was flying and strong winds were blowing.
The Dark Beast King led countless second-level mysterious beasts to form an alien space army, which was approaching them step by step. The air pressure was so heavy that it was almost suffocating. When the students looked back, they were surprised to find that behind them was a very familiar prosperous city.
One of the core cities of Daxia, Yandu.
Further ahead are rolling mountains and rivers, with countless cities located on both sides of the rivers, each with its own lights lit in a tranquil and peaceful atmosphere.
The students' breathing immediately became rapid. They recognized that after Yandu was their hometown, and their most important relatives and friends were in those cities!
At this point, they knew what they were facing without Xia Muqing's reminder.
Either resist the attack of the Dark Beast King, or watch the defense line being breached, the hometown falling, and the people being killed and injured.
...No, we must not let that happen!
The students immediately turned around and silently clenched their fists.
But the army of the Dark Beast King that was approaching step by step was also very terrifying. Leading them were the Mountain Erosion Ape and the Prison Lock. Liangyi Butterfly had seen these two ferocious beasts with her own eyes, and their reappearance now was particularly real. The blood and murderous intent that soared into the sky were like a sharp wind that cut into everyone's body.
"throat--!"
The gorilla grinned, laughing ferociously as it swung its fists. Each punch dug a half-meter-deep crater. With a casual grab, it crushed a three-meter-tall rock. Basketball-sized rubble gathered like rain, pelting the students head-on!
The Prison Locks were not to be outdone. More than a dozen chains rose up simultaneously. The chains, stained with mottled rust and dried blood, could clear a large area with each swing. The captured mysterious beasts were tied to their bellies and throats by the chains, which gradually tightened as if to crush their internal organs!
Students: “!!!”
Terrible, so terrible!
Some people's calves were weak. This was the first time they faced the murderous aura of the Dark Beast King. It was completely different from the soft killing intent in previous duels!
The students were in a panic when suddenly a voice sounded in their ears, and it seemed to reach directly into their hearts.
"Classmates, why did you decide to become a beastmaster?"
Because...what?
The students were stunned for a moment.
There are many reasons why I want to become a beastmaster. It's the most popular and respected profession in Daxia right now. They're very strong and can freely enter and exit alternate dimensions. Riding a mysterious beast is so cool, and fighting alongside one is so exciting and thrilling...
"They are popular and respected because they have silently sacrificed so much," the voice said. "The powerful enjoy freedom, but also carry greater responsibilities. As for the excitement and passion, can you still recall that feeling now?"
Students: “……!”
The boring training and study day after day can indeed easily wear away the passion in one's heart, but at this moment, with the earnest guidance of the voice, it seemed as if a warm current surged out from everyone's heart, surrounded by hot blood, and quickly spread to the limbs and bones.
"Go, protect our homeland! It's up to us now!"
"Isn't it just the Dark Beast King? I don't believe it! Evolve the Lightning Gear. We can definitely evolve a form stronger than the Prison Lock!"
"Beat that stinky gorilla! Throwing rocks is a big deal, but littering will get you a fine!"
"Haha, I'm coming too! It's just throwing rocks, right? Go ahead, Gathering Light Vine, let it see your celestial scattering!"
In the realistic dream, the students rushed forward with a group of mysterious beasts, howling and shouting, and started a melee with the alien army led by two dark beast kings.
Since this was not a battle taking place in the real world, everyone's bodies and minds were extremely flexible, and the mysterious beasts were in an extremely excited state of consciousness. As they fought, they felt like their souls were about to fly.
The stimulation of life energy, combined with the large-scale illusion of the 'Dream Entering' skill, exerts its effect silently!
In the fierce melee, a moorhen suddenly raised its head and screamed, and a turbid yet bright ochre light lingered all over its body.
It stepped hard on the ground with both feet, and in an instant countless sharp earth spikes emerged from the ground, spreading for hundreds of meters, piercing hundreds of invading mysterious beasts in one breath!
Its beastmaster was surprised and delighted: "Xiaoshan? Have you mastered a new skill?!"
The mountain marten held its head high and chest puffed out, its face filled with pride.
It was the attack from Lord Feng Luo just now that gave it inspiration, and the realistic dream at this moment gave it stimulation and pressure, allowing it to further open up its thinking.
Although in reality, it does not have enough mysterious power to support such a large-scale attack, but now they are in a dream!
Isn’t the purpose of dreaming to make your wishes come true and do whatever you want?
With the mole marten leading the way, other mysterious beasts also awakened and began to let themselves go with great excitement.
A fat Luo bird rushed into the sky, and its body expanded dozens of times in an instant, like a small mountain covering the army of dark beasts, blocking out the sky and the sun, which was extremely terrifying.
A fiery lion roared with its head raised, and it attracted a large number of meteorites from the sky. They streaked across the mountaintop with crackling sparks, like the falling sun and pouring scorching rain.
A water coconut tree shook, and several coconut palms from the treetop fell to the ground, suddenly exploding and splattering countless amounts of milky white coconut juice. Every mysterious beast that came into contact with the coconut juice began to shake its body involuntarily, emitting strange sounds of "Coco coconut coconut coconut"...
The mysterious beasts became more and more unbridled, releasing their passion to the fullest. The students also shouted excitedly, leading the contracted mysterious beasts to fight to their heart's content.
The fear of the Dark Beast King gradually faded, and was replaced by endless enthusiasm. The mysterious beasts' wild imagination turned into one powerful and magnificent move after another. The huge waves and the rain of fire blended together, and the bright moon and the scorching sun intertwined, setting off a huge mysterious wave in the dream.
This manifested in reality as layers of hazy profound light, enveloping each profound beast. Their excited spirits in their sleep caused their bodies to tremble slightly, and the profound energy they subconsciously leaked transformed into shock waves, overlapping and extending into waves.
Ark Xiaoxue projected a huge display screen, on which the energy values of the various mysterious beasts were rising rapidly at a speed visible to the naked eye, as if they had been injected with chicken blood!
Wen Shaohao: “!!!”
Ji Jingming: “!!!”
The two people were completely stunned. Wen Shaohao subconsciously wiped his cheek, which was extremely hot - he was just thinking that Xia Muqing did not improve the actual strength of the students, and immediately Xia Muqing slapped him hard in the face.
Who said that the other party’s three classes are all about training spiritual will?
Now the students' strength is not just improving, it is clearly soaring!
The increase in energy value made them both jealous!
"Is the Yin-Yang Butterfly's skill so powerful? Is the advanced skill of Ru Meng so awesome?"
Ji Jingming glared and rubbed his hands together in excitement. "Senior, why don't you just stay here and watch while I go improve... no, verify the effectiveness of Xia's teaching?"
Whether it was the first two spiritual will courses or the final grand "dream-entering" baptism, he was extremely envious.
Nandou Leihou nodded vigorously: "Throat!"
Wen Shaohao: “…”
Wen Shaohao frowned: "You'd better stay quiet."
Are you kidding? Isn’t he jealous?
But as the president and former president of the Fighting Club, how can it be unreasonable for him to yell and snatch opportunities from other members?
Moreover, with Wen Shaohao's keen eyesight, he could see some clues: "Don't be fooled by the rapid increase in energy values at the moment. This is only temporary. When the dream ends, not only will their energy levels decrease, but they will also fall into weakness for several hours."
The life energy of the Yin-Yang Butterfly combined with the dream-entering skill stimulated the potential of the mysterious beasts, but this was ultimately only a temporary improvement.
"If energy levels can really climb that fast, why are we all still training so hard? We can just daydream."
Ji Jingming was awakened by his words, but after thinking for a moment, he still looked greedy: "Even if it's only temporary, it's fine."
"Once you've experienced peak energy and used skills far beyond your limits, your body will remember this feeling, and future training will be twice as effective with half the effort."
If he guessed correctly, Xia Muqing also had this plan.
The third thing she wants to teach all students is not the rapid increase of energy value, but to point out a path for them to look back on the past, understand the present, and be clear about the future.
The students have strengthened their resolve, improved their understanding with the mysterious beasts, and have become clear about the direction they will strive for in the future. Isn't this much more important than simply increasing their energy points?
“…”
After hearing what Ji Jingming said, Wen Shaohao's Adam's apple rolled a few times and he swallowed hard.
Nonsense, how could he not understand what Ji Jingming could see through?
He's super greedy too!
Wen Shaohao tried hard to look away, urging himself to shift his focus: "...Oh, right, don't you find it strange? Supporting so many people entering dreams at the same time requires a massive amount of energy. Where does the Yin-Yang Butterfly get such powerful profound energy to support it?"
It hasn't evolved to the second level yet.
Furthermore, before Xia Muqing left for the Adventurer Qualification Test, he had never heard of the Yin-Yang Butterfly possessing such powerful abilities. The more Wen Shaohao thought about it, the more he found it strange. Could it be that during the test, not only had the Koi Fish undergone a complete transformation, but the Yin-Yang Butterfly had also experienced something extraordinary?
He calmed himself down and his gaze fell on the Yin-Yang butterfly dancing lightly not far away.
After observing it carefully for a while, Wen Shaohao discovered a clue: "I understand, it's those golden lines on its body that are providing it with profound energy!"
"Such a strong wave... and very familiar."
Nandou Thunder Monkey suddenly shouted: "Hou Hou!"
It is indeed very familiar, the aura of mysterious power is exactly the same as that of the little golden dragon!
Wen Shaohao was silent for a moment and looked at Ji Jingming in surprise.
"Is it... the power of 'Dragon Transformation'?"
Strange, wasn't it the koi fish that turned into a dragon? Why does the Yin-Yang Butterfly also seem to have undergone a qualitative change?
The two were puzzled, and at the same time, the situation on the field changed again.
With the help of the energy of the little golden dragon, the Liangyi Butterfly maintained a large dream for more than ten minutes, and gradually reached its limit.
Especially at this moment, the mysterious beasts are acting recklessly in the illusion, doing whatever they want, and the moves they imagine are all devastating - in order to try to present scenes that open everyone's imaginations, the pressure on the Yin-Yang Butterfly is really not small.
It glanced sideways at Xia Muqing, who had been calculating the time in her mind. Seeing this, she nodded gently: "Okay, Xiao Zi, it's done."
The Yin-Yang butterfly flapped its wings, and the hazy fog in the field gradually dissipated.
It fell tiredly on Xia Muqing's shoulder, and the moment it fell, a gray light suddenly flashed in its eyes.
No one else noticed. At this moment, everyone's eyes were focused on the students and mysterious beasts in the field. The fog dissipated and everyone in the field slowly woke up, but the tension and excitement in the dream still remained in their bodies, making their faces flushed and their bodies hot.
"This is the third thing I want to remind everyone: the original intention."
Standing under the lights, Xia Muqing said with a smile, "I hope everyone will never forget their original intention of becoming a Beastmaster, their original intention of contracting a profound beast, and their original intention of wanting to win."
"I hope everyone understands the importance of companions and the responsibilities they bear as beastmasters."
"We never simply become stronger for the sake of becoming stronger, or win for the sake of winning."
The whole audience was silent.
A moment later, there was thunderous applause.
The students clapped their hands vigorously, until their palms turned red, and the mysterious beasts also raised their heads, their eyes bright and full of admiration.
…
After the three training sessions, all the trainees felt refreshed and felt as if they had undergone a baptism of rebirth.
When he walked out of the training ground, his whole temperament was different from before.
Wen Shaohao and Ji Jingming witnessed this change with their own eyes, and they were both excited and deeply moved.
"Once this group of students graduates, we'll probably have several Divine Beast Masters within ten years."
Wen Shaohao sighed softly: "Did you see the look in their eyes?"
A more determined and confident look in his eyes. Although the belief in his eyes is still immature, it is much stronger than that of the naive college student before.
How could we not win if we took a group of people like this to participate in the inter-school competition?
"I never thought that just one training session could bring about such big changes in the trainees."
Ji Jingming nodded in conviction: "These three training sessions are truly brilliant."
"Miss Xia really never disappoints me... No, I should say she always brings surprises."
"Come on, senior, let's go thank her."
…
After receiving the sincere thanks from Wen Shaohao and Ji Jingming, Xia Muqing just smiled and said "you're welcome".
In her opinion, she was just doing what she should do, including the three things she conveyed to the students, which were also her most profound insights after returning from the qualification assessment.
"I'm the honorary president after all."
Wen Shaohao and Ji Jingming asked her again if they could organize more similar training sessions in the future.
“It’s not free, we pay points!”
The two of them had sharp eyesight. Once this group of students returned, the content and effects of the training would soon be revealed to everyone. By then, Xia Muqing would definitely become a hot commodity. Not to mention the freshmen and sophomores, even the juniors and seniors who were preparing for internships and graduation exams would probably have to fight for a chance to "enter a dream."
Xia Muqing thought for a moment and said, "Let's see the time."
If she has time, she would also be happy to organize a few more training sessions for her companions. Firstly, it would be for Liangyi Butterfly to practice her skills, and secondly, she also hopes that through her own efforts, her classmates will have more chances of survival when they enter the other space in the future.
After hearing this, Wen Shaohao and Ji Jingming were so happy that they couldn't stop smiling.
Before leaving, Ji Jingming said, "By the way, Xia, what is the group dreaming skill of the Yin-Yang Butterfly? Is it a variation of 'Dreaming'?"
Xia Muqing thought for a moment and said, "To be precise, it's the advanced skill of 'Entering Dreams', called 'Soul Pulling'."
Soul-pulling?
Wen Shaohao and Ji Jingming looked at each other. This name didn't sound like it had much to do with entering a dream.
Or maybe, group dreaming is just one of the manifestations of this skill, and it also hides an even more powerful power?
Wen Shaohao and Ji Jingming were itching to ask Xia Muqing to summon the Yin-Yang Butterfly again and unleash a true Soul-Pulling power. However, they knew the Yin-Yang Butterfly was likely exhausted, and that its powerful abilities were a beastmaster's trump card, not something they should easily reveal. So, they didn't press the issue any further.
After the two left, the smile on Xia Muqing's face gradually faded.
She frowned slightly and summoned the Yin-Yang Butterfly: "Xiao Zi, when you used your skill just now, did you feel any discomfort?"
Just as the third training session was about to end, Xia Muqing suddenly felt a strange energy fluctuation coming from deep within her Beast Taming Contract, carrying a hint of oppression that made her shudder.
Although it was only a moment, it made her quickly alert.
The situation at that time was not suitable for in-depth investigation, so she waited until now, when everyone had left, and then carefully studied what had just happened.
As Xia Muqing called out, the Yin-Yang butterfly on her shoulder trembled slightly, and her eyes flickered.
“Aaaaaaa…”
It lowered its tentacles and carefully touched Xia Muqing's fingertips.
