Beast Taming Starts with Ground Mushrooms

Chapter 47: Su Shiyue: This is Xiao Lei's most outstanding talent.

The Thunder God wielded his hammer with all his might, determined to tear the night sky apart; the Dragon King unleashed a torrential downpour, seemingly intent on flooding the world. The thunder roared, the rain poured down, cleansing everything in its path…

In the majestic and magnificent rain-soaked mountains and forests, the faint light was swallowed by the rain curtain, covered by the darkness, and replaced by a sudden flash of lightning.

Lin Yi, panting heavily as he dragged his weary body, wiped the sweat from his forehead under his rain hood and looked up at the mountain peak that was still halfway to be conquered. He swallowed hard.

"When I looked at these mountains from a distance before, I never realized they were so high."

It was pouring rain and the temperature had plummeted, yet the repeated climbs had left him, whose physical condition had improved significantly, with a layer of sweat soaking his forehead and him panting heavily.

At this moment, Lin Yi immediately regretted it. He should have started climbing the mountain earlier and waited. Now the mountain road was muddy and slippery, the rain was pouring down, and visibility was obstructed. With all these factors combined, he was clearly struggling to keep up.

"I can't take it anymore, little mushroom, I need to feed you back, I need to feed you back."

Lin Yi leaned against a wet tree, rainwater dripping from the trunk and soaking the back of his hands. He finally gave up on the idea of ​​not using the little guy's extraordinary evolutionary power.

In Lin Yi's view, using that power through a symbiotic connection with the mushroom cub was a waste of money, and in order to ensure the smooth completion of this thunder baptism, he never intended to let the little guy heal him in the first place.

But now he really couldn't take it anymore. The mountain was too high, the rain was too heavy, and the mountain road was muddy. As he walked out of the cement-paved mountain road, Lin Yi felt his steps getting heavier and heavier, as if the soles of his shoes were filled with lead, covered with a thick layer of mud that he couldn't shake off no matter how hard he tried.

So… my dear mushroom, I am your master, please grant me extraordinary power!

The next moment, a terrifying power flowed into his body, and Lin Yi immediately felt his fatigue disappear. His back no longer ached, and his legs were under his control. He could walk with great speed, and the man and the beast ran wildly through the mountains.

As he was about to reach the summit, he looked up at the sky. Thunder rumbled overhead, and lightning flashed like dragons, tearing through half the night sky. In the light of the lightning, he could see the rain shooting down like arrows from between the lush leaves and branches, dripping onto his cheeks, cold and heavy.

After reaching the summit, the peak became relatively flat. As lightning flashed by, Lin Yi searched for a high vantage point. Finally, not far from the man and beast, in the central part of the mountain forest, there was a small hill that was half a head higher than the forest itself.

Without hesitation, Lin Yi immediately climbed up.

However, as he climbed up the small hill and seemed to stand atop the forest, another figure appeared on the other side of the hill, as if they had made an appointment.

At first, both of them were startled and instinctively shone their flashlights at each other. Su Shiyue was uncomfortable from Lin Yi's flashlight and subconsciously reached out to block the light from his flashlight. Lin Yi did the same, avoiding the other's flashlight and squinting to examine him. After they both saw who the other was, they immediately...

Su Shiyue and Lin Yi: "It's you?"

The two spoke almost in unison.

Su Shiyue: "Lin, my classmate?"

Lin Yi: "Student Su?"

Su Shiyue and Lin Yi: "What are you doing here?"

After they finished speaking, they were both greatly surprised, but they quickly calmed down.

This was not the first time the two had met. More than a month ago, Lin Yi and the other party had met once at the "Spirit Plant Beast Pet Skill Training and Storage Center", and they both had some impression of each other.

Su Shiyue wasn't the kind of girl who was particularly stunning at first glance; she was the kind of girl whose beauty grew on you. Of course, that wasn't what made Lin Yi remember her. The reason he had some memory of this girl was entirely due to the phrase "entered through the back door," plus the fact that her student ID showed up at the time said "Combat Department 1," so Lin Yi paid more attention to her.

When he returned to his dormitory that day, he had thought about the other person's identity. Su Shiyue's surname was Su, and the "that person" in the combat department also had the surname Su. In addition, she was able to "go through the back door" and was a person with connections. Lin Yi naturally connected them together. Could that girl be the daughter of Su Guoan, the head of the Beast Tamer Association of Tiannan University?

The moment Su Shiyue saw Lin Yi, she recognized him immediately. It wasn't just his handsome face, but more importantly, the fact that he was carrying the same sack as her that day. His behavior was impressive, making it hard not to remember him.

As their thoughts raced, a bolt of lightning illuminated the heavens and earth, revealing each other's pets. Lin Yi saw the Thunder Spirit Wolf cub that Su Shiyue was holding, and Su Shiyue saw the little one standing on Lin Yi's shoulder.

Lin Yi: "Su, are you here to give your pet a thunder baptism too?"

Su Shiyue: ? ? ?

What does "也" mean?

"No way, you too? What a coincidence!"

Su Shiyue felt a sudden pang of despair. "I've run so far already, how come someone is still trying to steal me?"

The two were about to say something when suddenly, an unprecedented bolt of lightning ripped through the night sky, accompanied by deafening thunder. Both the two people and the two beasts instinctively looked up, feeling the power of the thunder and being greatly shocked.

"Mushroom, it's up to you now. Don't let me down." Lin Yi snapped out of his thoughts and immediately placed the mushroom on the hillside. The opportunity was fleeting, and now was not the time for reminiscing.

Su Shiyue looked at the little guy who had pushed the bags between the bookshelves that day, and her beautiful eyes were filled with question marks as she saw him about to receive a thunderous baptism: "Lin, are you going to give it a thunderous baptism here too?"

This is a ground mushroom! Are you out of your mind? How can a ground mushroom be subjected to lightning? Can it sense the lightning elements around it? If it can't sense the lightning elements, how can it attract heavenly lightning?

No, that's not the point. The point is that I finally found such a great spot, why are you joining in the fun?

Lin Yi looked at Su Shiyue: "Su, this is the highest point here. As far as I know, it's possible for two or three beast pets to undergo the baptism at the same time. You don't mind, do you?"

It's no use if you mind. I came up first. Don't think that just because you're a girl I'll make things difficult for you. Absolutely not.

Upon hearing this, Su Shiyue blinked her beautiful eyes, then readily shook her head and said, "I don't mind, do as you please."

Although there was another pet at the same location, she didn't care at all. She even found this Lin classmate a bit funny, sending a ground mushroom to be baptized by thunder. What was this guy thinking? Su Shiyue didn't think her [Thunder Spirit Wolf] would lose to the other party.

Not to mention, the Thunder Wolf is a thunder-attribute beast pet by nature, and is born to evolve along the path of thunder elements. Sensing the thunder elements around them is an innate talent. She might have some concerns when facing beasts with stronger talents, but when facing a ground mushroom, any hesitation would be disrespectful to Little Thunder.

Even if her pet wasn't the Thunder Spirit Wolf, Su Shiyue didn't think she was inferior to a spirit plant-type beast tamer, so there was no need to worry about the two pets undergoing the Thunder Baptism together.

Lin Yi, without wasting any words, eagerly took out the [Thunder Tempering Pill] given to him by Chen Shiqi, fed it to the mushroom, and then ran back without stopping, hiding directly in the woods at the foot of the hillside. He didn't want to be struck by lightning.

Seeing this, Su Shiyue also fed one to her pet. She placed the Thunder Spirit Wolf cub on the hillside: "Little Thunder, don't be afraid. Boldly summon the thunder. This is your best talent."

After encouraging the little guy, Su Shiyue also ran towards Lin Yi's direction, quickly getting away from that hilltop. Obviously, she didn't want to play with her pet.

The two exchanged a glance without speaking, both looking eagerly at their pets with expectant eyes.

On the hillside... Mushroom cub, clutching its little sword, blinked its clear little eyes at the Thunder Wolf cub. The Thunder Wolf returned the gaze. The two little creatures seemed lost in thought until lightning once again ripped through the sky and torrential rain engulfed the mountaintop. Only then did the two little creatures raise their heads together and begin to sense the lightning element.

Lightning is known for its attraction to like. The moment the lightning element surged on the hillside, the lightning in the sky sensed it, and as the lightning intertwined, it suddenly converged and crashed down towards the mountain peak.

Seeing this scene, Su Shiyue clenched her little fists in excitement.

"Xiao Lei, receive your baptism."

"Mushroom, get ready."

Upon hearing the sound, the two little creatures immediately leaped up. Although the Thunder Wolf was a cub, it was larger than the Mushroom Cub, and its jump was a head higher.

Seeing this scene, Su Shiyue's heart raced with excitement.

During this month, she waited for several thunderstorms, but the senior students always stood on the hilltop of the combat department, which made her extremely frustrated.

But at this moment, all the frustration vanished.

Because of Xiao Lei, we're finally going to "eat thunder".
