Beast Taming Patrol

The Mystic-grade secret realm boasts a much larger space than the Yellow-grade secret realm.

Therefore, after the initial large-scale elimination, as the number of competitors remaining in the realm gradually decreased, finding a competitor who has not yet been eliminated became quite difficult.

Lin Su had been mentally prepared for this.

It was unrealistic to expect him to find and eliminate all of the competitors by himself.

Having eliminated so many people, Lin Su's elimination count was now securely in the first place.

In second place was Yan Susen, who was right behind him.

And Yan Susen only had 18 eliminations.

So, by maintaining this lead until the end of the competition, even without eliminating other opponents, he could still win the final victory.

After getting familiar with him, Yan Susen shed his previous arrogant demeanor and became somewhat talkative, constantly chatting with Lin Su about everything under the sun, which gave him the feeling of being on an outing.

However, Lin Su happened to have some questions he wanted to ask Yan Susen.

"Brother Yan, does your pet beast have a Tier IV skill?" Lin Su cleared his throat and suddenly asked, "If it only has a Tier III skill, I really can't figure out how you managed to get through the fifth level of the Guardian Beast Tower."

"Indeed, it does," Yan Susen said with a smile, not hiding much, "My Goldglow Forehead's Talent Skill 'Shimmering Brilliance' has reached Tier IV, and the Silver Fighter's Talent Skill 'Silver Assault' has also reached Tier IV. It's precisely because each of my pet beasts has one Tier IV skill that I can defeat opponents of the same level with a disadvantage in attributes."

"Impressive," Lin Su couldn't help but exclaim, "My pet beasts have undergone extremely rigorous training, but their skills are still far from Tier IV. Attaining Tier IV skills will probably have to wait until I reach the Master level."

"There's nothing impressive or not," Yan Susen shook his head slightly, his expression tinged with a bit of shame, "My two pet beasts have Tier IV skills at this stage because I used an object called the Illusion Dream Stone. It's merely external assistance, nothing noteworthy."

"Illusion Dream Stone?" Lin Su blinked, "What is that, and can it be bought?"

If this Illusion Dream Stone could enhance skill proficiency, he also planned to find a way to get some for Qiuqiu and Ghost.

"It's not something that can be bought," Yan Susen coughed slightly, "This Illusion Dream Stone is a special item unique to the battlefield where the grand competition among nations is held, from the same origin as the Guardian Beast Tower; it's the product condensed by the Rule Power of the undying being of the Immortal Phoenix Sect—the Cloud Dream Kun."

"The Cloud Dream Kun, huh..." Lin Su blinked.

This was the first time he learned the name of the immortal being that created the Guardian Beast Tower.

However, he quickly realized that this was not the most important aspect.

"Is the Illusion Dream Stone similar to the Dream Crystal Stone from the Guardian Beast Tower?" Lin Su couldn't help but ask.

"Exactly," Yan Susen took out a pearl, no larger than a finger joint and shimmering with diffused brilliance, from his Space Ring and handed it to Lin Su, "This is an Illusion Dream Stone. Its method of use is somewhat different from that of the Dream Crystal Stone; it needs to be crushed to absorb the dream power within and increase the number of training sessions for one's skills."

"Each time the grand competition among nations is held, there are some geniuses from Great Yan who are not selected by the higher sects and return to their own nation. They bring back some treasures only produced in the battlefield, and the royal family also takes the opportunity to collect some, storing them in the palace treasury."

"The reason I was able to improve my pet beast's skill proficiency so quickly is also because of it," Yan Susen said with a smile, "Would you like to try it, Brother Lin?"

"Such a precious thing, isn't it unsuitable?" Lin Su coughed lightly.

"A single Illusion Dream Stone isn't considered very valuable," Yan Susen shook his head, "One Illusion Dream Stone can only provide ten additional training sessions for the pet beast, which is equivalent to the Dream Crystal Stone from the first level of the Guardian Beast Tower."

"It's known as a treasure because they are quite numerous on the battlefield, and their effects can be stacked," Yan Susen explained with a smile, "Imagine, Brother Lin, if you collected hundreds or thousands of Illusion Dream Stones and crushed them simultaneously..."

Lin Su couldn't help but take a sharp breath.

Wouldn't that directly add tens of thousands of training sessions?!

Since this one Illusion Dream Stone wasn't very precious, Lin Su no longer hesitated.

With a flash of goose-yellow light, Lin Su released the Guardian Beast Co-operation under Yan Susen's curious gaze. He held Qiuqiu in his arms with one hand and crushed the Illusion Dream Stone with the other.

The crushed stone instantly became a fog of diffused mist in the air, which rapidly headed toward Qiuqiu under its intentional absorption and quickly enveloped it.

After a short while, the mist dissipated, and Qiuqiu, who had reopened its eyes, quickly provided feedback.

"Meow! ฅ(≧ω≦)ฅ" (It really trained ten times, wow!)

And so it was.

Lin Su nodded slightly, a bit more of a smile on his face.

He now had another reason he must participate in the grand competition among nations.

If he could collect more of these Illusion Dream Stones, the efficiency of skill proficiency enhancement would be much higher than that of the Guardian Beast Tower.

Having already disengaged the Guardian Beast Co-operation, Lin Su casually summoned Ghost out as well.

He still held Qiuqiu in his arms, so he could co-operate with it again at a moment's notice should danger arise.

"Brother Yan, are there any other treasures produced within that so-called battlefield of the geniuses?"

"There's also an item called the Mixed Element Stone, which contains a trace of extremely pure elemental power, specifically intended for martial warriors..." Compared to Lin Su's plan to publicly reveal the secret of Guardian Beast Co-operation, the things Yan Susen was saying now were insignificant, so he began explaining them quite readily, "In addition to that, there's also..."
