Chapter 51: Lin Yi, a Level 1 Beast Tamer, Emerges in His First Combat Form
In the dormitory, after obtaining the [Chaotic Green Lotus], the human and the beast ended their training for the day early. Once people obtain something new and interesting, they will inevitably appreciate and examine it carefully.
At this moment, Lin Yi and Gu Zai were no exception. They were both looking at the thing that was placed neatly on the desk. Gu Zai was holding the Hanxuan Sword, standing on a stack of skill teaching papers, blinking and looking at it curiously, his little eyes darting around.
Back in his dormitory, Lin Yi tried to form a contract with the Chaos Lotus directly, but naturally there was no response. Apart from emanating wisps of chaotic energy, the lotus did not give any other response. Even when Lin Yi tried to communicate with it, the lotus ignored him.
This guy is a bit aloof.
"Is it really only possible to form a contract with it after reaching the third-tier Beast Tamer level?"
Lin Yi felt that even if he reached the third rank, he might not be able to successfully form a contract. Beastmasters choose beast pets, and beast pets also choose beastmasters. After studying for a while, Lin Yi lost his enthusiasm.
"Keep it, and you'll understand later. The one standing before you is the only genius in the world of spirit plant-type beast taming. No one but me can help you reach your peak." Lin Yi said to Qinglian. Just wait, one day I will make you submit wholeheartedly and beg me to form a contract with you.
Lin Yi had no reason to give up on the Chaos Green Lotus, since the association was taking care of it for him and he didn't need to worry about it.
After thinking it over, Lin Yi looked at the mushroom cub. Mushroom is still the best. As if sensing Lin Yi's emotional fluctuations, the mushroom cub also jumped up and landed on Lin Yi's shoulder, rubbing its mushroom cap against Lin Yi's cheek for the first time.
……
That night, the chain reaction surrounding the special training finally came to an end, but the year-end assessment for the Department of Spirit Plant Cultivation and Research was still underway. Lin Yi, however, was exempt from the assessment and had been granted the privilege of exemption.
The life of the man and the beast returned to peace, back to the days of daily grueling training. Every day, Mushroom Boy could be seen wielding his little sword on the back mountain of Tiannan Beast Taming University, and Lin Yi was also choosing lightning attribute skills for the little guy.
"This is the mushroom cub's first lightning-attribute skill, so we can't be careless. Although we can only teach it after it reaches the first tier, we still need to plan ahead."
Therefore, Lin Yi took some time to visit the Spirit Plant System's "Skill Simplification Paper Storage Center" again. With the improvement of the mushroom cub's physique through feeding back, this time he carried a whole sack of mushrooms.
Compared to the last time, Lin Yi's appearance this time caused a greater commotion. He is now a celebrity in the department, and even the old man guarding the seventh floor is much more enthusiastic.
However, while Lin Yi's life returned to normal, the department was bustling with activity during this period, with discussions about the grade assessments heard everywhere he went.
"That Zhang Lei should be second in the grade among this year's freshmen, it seems like a sure thing."
"Unexpectedly, a dark horse emerged halfway through. I heard that he also participated in the special training and did quite well, breaking the previous record. If it weren't for Lin Yi, he would definitely be the number one in the Spirit Plant Department this year."
"I really envy that Lin Yi. He didn't even need to participate in the grade-level assessment; he was already number one. Is this the privilege of being a top student?"
The twenty-seventh day of the grade assessment, which was also the sixth day after Li Zhenbei gave Qinglian.
Although the assessment is not yet over, signs have already emerged. A boy named Zhang Lei has stood out and attracted the attention of the entire department. Even the senior beast tamers are talking about it with great interest.
However, this had nothing to do with Lin Yi, who was focused on becoming a first-level beast tamer. His daily routine consisted of practicing swordplay, boxing, kicking, and playing with lightning with the mushrooms in the back mountain.
Now that Lin Yi has Huang Zhong's ten million extraordinary evolutionary food resources, plus the ones Chen Shiqi and Lao Li gave to Gu Zai, he doesn't need to worry about the little guy's food for the time being.
Moreover, the amount of funds in my hands has increased from 30 million to more than 50 million, which makes me feel more at ease.
The thirtieth day of the grade assessment was also the ninth day that Li Zhenbei gave Qinglian.
The back mountain of Beast Taming University.
"It's reached its ninth evolutionary stage?"
Lin Yi was quite surprised. After experiencing the baptism of lightning, he found that the little guy's evolution speed had doubled again. Perhaps it was due to the blessing of the "lightning element evolution direction". The original six times absorption evolution ability had become seven times.
"You're awesome, Mushroom Boy."
In response, Lin Yi could only give the mushroom cub a thumbs up. Seemingly enjoying the praise, the little guy trained even harder, frantically converting the extraordinary ingredients he absorbed and digested into extraordinary evolutionary power, and the mushroom cub grew stronger day by day.
The thirty-fifth day of the grade assessment was also the fourteenth day after Li Zhenbei gave Qinglian.
The assessment finally ended, and Lin Yi also heard some rumors that Zhang Lei was indeed the top student in the grade, and his beast pet had been improved again during the assessment, entering the late stage of the eighth-level evolution form.
At the same time, Lin Yi's mushroom cub also entered the tenth evolution stage.
Seventeen days after the end of the grade assessment, which was also the thirty-first day after Li Zhenbei gave Qinglian.
It's still that back mountain, still that grove of trees.
Boom... A terrifyingly powerful force swept through the forest, engulfing everything in its path. The wind was so strong that Lin Yi and the groundhog couldn't even open their eyes. The mushroom cub successfully advanced to a Tier 1 Level 10 beast pet, and its combat power reached an unprecedented level. The damage range increased from a few meters in radius to twenty meters in radius.
Breaking through a level is not just about enhancing one's extraordinary evolutionary power, but also a transformation akin to a dimensional reduction attack; the difference between the two is like heaven and earth.
Lin Yi quickly glanced at the symbiotic information.
[Contracted Beast Pet: Ground Mushroom]

……
[Evolutionary Build Direction: Lightning Element Evolution Direction...]
……
"The realm of ultimate mastery?"
Lin Yi muttered to himself. The little guy's [Grass Character Sword Technique] had just reached the Great Perfection stage and he hadn't had a chance to use it yet. Both the man and the beast were eager to know its current destructive power.
Mushroom Boy tried to draw his sword several times, but Lin Yi stopped him each time.
"Mushroom boy, this won't do. It'll be too noisy, and this grove is too close to the department building. It's the face of the department, and we can't let it be damaged."
"Let's try going deeper."
In the end, Lin Yi decided to continue deeper into the back mountain. The little guy entered the first stage, and he also benefited to the extreme. With the sharing of extraordinary power, Lin Yi could move swiftly through the forest.
A faint layer of extraordinary power enveloped his body as Lin Yi raced through the forest, leaving behind afterimages at an incredible speed.
The so-called back mountain of Tiannan Beast Taming University is actually a section of enclosed mountain range. Although it is only a section, it is vast. Lin Yi crossed three or four mountain ridges before stopping.
"There shouldn't be any problems here."
Looking at the almost pristine forest, Lin Yi immediately stopped. It wasn't that he was afraid of making too much noise and attracting attention, but rather that he couldn't bear to damage the forest that was so close to the department.
Despite the continuous journey, Lin Yi didn't feel tired at all this time. He had to admit that after entering the first tier, even without the shared extraordinary evolutionary power of the mushroom cub, he felt he could still run here in one go, it would just take more time.
"Little mushroom, show your bravery!"
Lin Yi summoned the mushroom cub, who stood on a crooked tree trunk, clutching the Cold String Sword, a hint of excitement appearing in its clear little eyes.
next moment.
Boom... Boom boom boom... A terrifying azure sword light swept across the mountains and forests, causing countless towering ancient trees to collapse. Mushroom Baby leaped dozens of meters high, and with each swing of the sword, a sword light more than twenty meters long tore through the mountains and forests, causing an earth-shattering event.
Having broken through to the first stage, the little guy's speed became so fast that it was almost impossible for the naked eye to keep up. One second he was here, and the next second, before the sword light could even erupt, his figure was already dozens of meters away.
In an instant, the entire primeval jungle roared with tremendous noise, and azure sword light occasionally swept across the sky, bursting out from above the dense forest one after another.
Lin Yi was completely dumbfounded. Such terrifying destructive power! Was this the true strength of a first-tier battle beast? Its extraordinary power seemed to far exceed his comprehension.
At the same time, deeper in the mountains, several kilometers away from Lin Yi and Mushroom Boy, in another forest, several young men and women seemed to sense something and couldn't help but look up in a certain direction.
"Such intense fluctuations of extraordinary evolutionary power... that's... azure sword light?"
"The [Grass Sword Technique] at its peak, with extraordinary power in its first-tier evolved form... Could it be that another person's [Sword Spirit Grass] pet has broken through? Who could it be?"
"Let's go take a look."
Several senior students from the second year of university rushed there. Although they were senior beast tamers, not all of them had such terrifying beast taming talent. About 30% of them only managed to evolve their beast pets to the first-tier form after a year and a half.
These senior students were clearly the best members of the top 30%. Their purpose in being here was to conduct combat training in the mountains and exchange ideas on beast taming.
Although Tiannan Beast Taming University has a combat training base, there are too many beast tamers. Moreover, most of those bases are used by powerful beast tamers. Those who are not outstanding are embarrassed to go to the dedicated combat training venue. After all, people care about their reputation. Who wants to fight each other like newbies under the watchful eyes of a large number of beast tamers?
Before long, the group arrived here, thinking that if that person also reached the first level, they might be able to team up and grow together in the future, since combat training also requires more extensive experience with beast pets.
Unfortunately, when the group arrived, all that remained was the devastation; the man and the beast had vanished without a trace.
"This truly is the [Grass Sword Technique] at its peak, but the extent of the destruction... it feels a bit too unbelievable. How long has it been, yet it has caused such a large-scale scene?"
The senior students were deeply shocked and found it hard to imagine how such formidable fighting power could exist.
"No, this isn't the aura of a Sword Spirit Grass pet." A boy with a Sword Spirit Grass beside him suddenly spoke up, and everyone looked at him with puzzled expressions.
The boy said with certainty, "I contracted with the Sword Spirit Grass. I'm very familiar with the aura of the Sword Spirit Grass pet. This is clearly not a remnant of the Sword Spirit Grass."
Upon hearing this, the senior students were stunned, but soon some of them shook their heads.
"Perhaps some powerful senior has contracted a new beast pet. Oh well, since he doesn't want to see us, let's not force him."
The beast tamers nodded silently, instinctively assuming that it was done by senior students who were a few years ahead of them, or at least top students in their own grade. They would never associate it with a freshman. If a freshman reached the first-level beast tamer realm so quickly, it would be too terrifying.
At the same time.
Two miles away in the deep forest... After running for a while, Lin Yi walked slowly through the forest, still not recovered from the astonishing destructive power of the mushroom cub. The little guy did not enter Lin Yi's beast-taming space, nor did he stand on Lin Yi's shoulder. Instead, he kept leaping in the primeval forest.
This not only trains the [Leap] skill, but also greatly improves the mushroom's field of vision. Watching the little figure that occasionally slips out of his sight and then pops back out again, Lin Yi felt a strange sense of security for the first time.
Now that the mushroom has entered its first-tier form, it can be said to truly possess a combat form.
After leaving the mountains, to celebrate Mushroom's advancement to the first level, Lin Yi treated Chen Shiqi to a fast food meal for the first time ever, and even gave himself three days off.
However, three days later, on the morning of this day, Lin Yi was preparing to take Mushroom Cub to continue training deep in the mountains when he keenly sensed something was wrong.
All the senior students at Tiannan Beast Taming University were converging in a certain direction, urging each other on. A sense of oppression could be felt among them, a scene that was almost never seen before.
Lin Yi instinctively felt that something big might have happened, and subconsciously followed the flow of people.
Not only him, but some freshmen also looked puzzled and confused, but they all followed in that direction to see what was going on.
