Soon, everyone had finished packing their things.
Qin Xiao had Liu Piaoxu put the hovercar away.
Firstly, there's no need to rush anymore, and secondly, the current terrain isn't very suitable for hovercars to move forward.
Qin Xiao rode on Ilya's back, Zhou Lei lay on Xiong Da's shoulder, and the other two girls looked on with envy.
However, neither Liu Piaoxu nor Ye Qinghuan complained, since they were there for a trial in the secret realm.
Sitting on Ilya's back, Qin Xiao touched Ilya's new armor.
"Ilya, what do you think of this thing?"
Ilya strolled along leisurely, nuzzling Qin Xiao's hand on her shoulder.
"Master, this armor is very comfortable. It not only allows for easy movement, but it is also much lighter than my previous one."
Qin Xiao nodded, feeling a sense of感慨 (gan3kai3, a complex emotion encompassing both admiration and regret), realizing that he truly got what he paid for.
This armor, worth over ten million, is more expensive than Ilya's net worth before she fused with the template.
As the two were talking, Bai Ling ran out of the contract space.
"You stinky master, I want some too! I want some too!"
Qin Xiao laughed, "You do!"
"Nonsense, they didn't!"
Bai Ling jumped onto his head and hugged his head tightly with her forelimbs.
"Hey, don't try to back out. Didn't I let you choose for yourself? If you don't buy it, can you blame me?"
Bai Ling was stunned. "You stinky master, you... I don't care, I want this too!"
"Hey, turn on the second-speed tail fan for me, and I'll fix it for you!"
Qin Xiao said leisurely, "Little brat, I can still exploit you."
Bai Ling paused, wanting to return to the contract space.
Unfortunately, Qin Xiao was wary of her slipping away and directly took control of the contract space.
"I don't want it anymore! Master, let me go back! It's so hot here!"
"Hehe, too late. You can't run away now. Besides, you're not hot. Don't try that on me. Be a good boy and fan your master."
Bai Ling, not to be outdone, jumped onto Ilya's head.
"Hmph, you stinky master! I'll fan my sister, not you, or you'll die of heat!"
Just as Qin Xiao was about to speak, Liu Piaoxu, who was walking beside him, suddenly cried out in surprise.
Ah~
Qin Xiao immediately looked over, and everyone turned to look at her.
Liu Piaoxu's face flushed red. "Ugh, I'm about to break through to the Silver Rank!"
Everyone was stunned for a moment, but Qin Xiao quickly realized what was happening.
"Focus on your breakthrough first, we'll keep an eye on you."
The three of them surrounded Liu Piaoxu.
She held a spirit crystal in her hand, and the purple lightning sable was also eating a spirit crystal.
Soon, the faint psionic fluctuations disappeared.
Both the man and the sable opened their eyes at the same time.
Liu Piaoxu said happily, "Great! I've finally reached Silver! Diao Diao is amazing too, Silver Six-Star!"
"How many spirit crystals did you absorb?"
Zhou Lei asked curiously, as he was not getting enough feedback from the Iron Claw Bear and was stuck at the Bronze level.
Half of my current Bronze 8-star level was achieved by absorbing spirit crystals during this period.
Upon hearing his question, Liu Piaoxu thought for a moment and replied.
"I don't know either. Ever since I awakened, I've been absorbing spirit crystals every day, plus the cultivation level that Diao Diao has been reporting is also very high. Didn't Sister Ye and Brother Qin Xiao already reach the Silver Rank long ago?"
“Newly awakened Beastmasters level up the fastest in the early stages, starting from Bronze and Silver. As long as there are enough spirit crystals, absorbing spirit crystals on your own is no slower than leveling up as a regular Beastmaster. Zhou Lei, if you focus on absorbing spirit crystals in these ten days, you should be able to level up quickly too.”
Ye Qinghuan echoed this sentiment.
She was able to reach the Silver rank so quickly by constantly absorbing spirit crystals and receiving feedback from the Crimson Lotus Fire Fox's cultivation.
Zhou Lei nodded. He didn't absorb any spirit crystals during the training camp, because he planned to give them all to Brother Xiao to sell, and he didn't even think about getting a share.
He benefited greatly from the competition and absorbed a lot of advantages, so he absorbed them freely and is now very close to the Silver rank.
"Lei Zi, don't be impatient. It should be about time in ten days. You don't need spirit crystals now, so there's no need to save them for Xiong Er."
Qin Xiao offered a reminder.
He was worried that the boy was being too fond of Xiong Er, and was saving the reward spirit crystals for Xiong Er instead of absorbing them.
"Brother Xiao, I know what's important, don't worry. I'm already absorbing it. I also want to reach the Silver level as soon as possible so I can form a contract with Xiong Er sooner."
As they talked, they continued on their way.
Today's goal is to continue moving closer to the volcanic area.
"By the way, Sister Ye, aren't you a Silver-ranked cultivator? Why do you only have one beast tamer?"
Liu Piaoxu asked curiously.
Ye Qinghuan didn't think much of it. "I haven't found a suitable beast to tame yet. I want a beast that is all fire-type, which is related to my beast tamer talent skill."
She paused for a moment, then made up her mind and said.
"One of my Beastmaster talent skills has awakened. It's about absorbing the amplification effects of fire-type skill orbs and fire-type beasts, so fire-type beasts are the most suitable for me."
My mother has already said that Qin Xiao is the teammate she chose. If that's the case, this team will likely stay together until the college entrance examination.
It is essential to exchange basic information, and this entry into the Gold-tier Secret Realm is also a good opportunity for us to work together.
Liu Piaoxu looked thoughtfully at Qin Xiao and then spoke loudly.
"Sister Ye's talent is truly remarkable. I also possess the Beast Tamer talent skill, though it's only ordinary; it grants me some attribute bonuses from beast taming."
My ferret is very fast, and I also have a speed boost, making me run faster than the average person. It hasn't absorbed any skill orbs yet.
"That's not bad either. At least in battle, being fast makes you safer."
Ye Qinghuan didn't feel smug; instead, she gave a positive comment.
Seeing this atmosphere, Zhou Lei and Qin Xiao understood what was going on.
Zhou Lei said somewhat embarrassedly, "I'm sorry, I'm dragging the team down. I don't have any Beastmaster talent skills."
"It's okay, Brother Zhou Lei. Maybe he'll awaken his powers this time you level up."
Liu Piaoxu took out dried fish and ate some while handing them out to everyone.
At this point, all three of them looked at Qin Xiao.
Qin Xiao, riding on Ilya's back, said casually.
"I have two beast-taming talent skills: Beast Taming Space and Level 1 Contract with Two Beasts."
Although everyone had some guesses, hearing Qin Xiao say it himself still filled them with envy.
These two skills directly raised the skill ceiling, making Qin Xiao's white talent grow even faster than that of a typical blue or purple talent beast tamer.
If they knew that Qin Xiao had actually kept a secret, they would be jumping up and down in shock.
"Alright, stay alert. We're getting close to the foot of the volcano. There are Golden-tier species in this area."
Qin Xiao subtly changed the subject.
Upon hearing this, all three began to pay attention to the movements in their respective directions.
In the distance, the volcano is no longer visible; all that remains are dark red rocks, with occasional shrubs and groves.
On the exposed rocks, there were three strange creatures, two large and one small.
