Beast Taming Patrol

The preselection competition is crucial for the participation in the grand competition between nations. It is equally important.

"I just hope the preselection competition won't be too troublesome," Lin Su sighed softly.

He had two Monarch-rank battle beasts whose strength severely exceeded the standard. At the elite Beast Tamer stage, as long as he didn't encounter the freaks of the emperor-rank species contracted by people from the Martial World, he should be able to stroll through the competition.

"You two continue to absorb resources, and I'll continue with meditation," Lin Su took a brand-new Space Heart from Gui Gui's hand, "The preselection competition lasts for a whole month, and even if it starts today, it's only the elimination round for the time being, so the focus is still here."

"Let's try to enhance our strength as much as possible to get through these tough five days," he quickly decided.

"Jie! Jie! (｡⊙‿⊙｡)" (Absorb resources! Enhance!)

"Mii! (ᓀωᓂ)" (Protect Lin Su well!)

The two battle beasts nodded earnestly and immediately began to attempt absorbing their own supernatural resources.

Seeing his battle beasts striving to improve, Lin Su smiled and quickly closed his eyes to begin meditating.

The previous Space Heart had been completely exhausted of its power and shattered after Lin Su's dedicated meditation.

And after fully absorbing the power of that Space Heart, the light blue area in Lin Su's Beast Taming Space had grown to cover one percent of the entire space's outer wall.

Such progress was extremely rapid.

At this stage, Lin Su could vaguely feel that once the light blue covered ten percent of the outer wall, the entire Beast Taming Space would elevate to the fourth order in one go, turning completely light blue under the influence of the light blue area.

A quantitative change, leading to a qualitative change.

If absorbing one Space Heart could increase the area by one percent, and it required half a month of meditation, he would need another four and a half months, and nine more Space Hearts to break through to the fourth order...

And he only had this one Space Heart left, with no idea where to get the remaining eight from.

At that thought, Lin Su couldn't help feeling despondent.

The fourth order is so hard.

He also didn't know how his sister Nan managed to get her Beast Taming Space to the sixth order in her twenties every day cultivating immortal methods, which was truly freakish.

It's said that space-series battle beasts can help Beast Tamers speed up meditation...

Forget it, forget it, he shouldn't think about it. His battle beast goals were already plentiful; adding any more, even a ninth-order Beast Taming Space wouldn't be sufficient for all the contracts.

He hurriedly focused his mind and began today's meditation.

Not until nightfall did Lin Su and his two battle beasts hurriedly have dinner, and then they quickly headed to the Martial World.

...

"You're supposed to gather at the Beast Taming Union today for the Beast Tamers' preselection competition, right?"

Inside the martial training field, Lin Su's father, looking at Lin Su holding a ghostly spear, standing tall with two battle beasts behind him, smiled slightly.

"Yes!" Lin Su nodded, "Dad, when does the preselection for the martial arts begin?"

"Today as well," his father smiled, "But I'm not leading the team, your uncle is."

Uncle Lin Zhantian?

Lin Su understood.

This time, the strongest member of the Lin Family was Lin Ye, who had broken through to the peak of the Meridian Opening Realm a few days earlier. It was said that his uncle had already prepared a Nayuan Pill for him, and he would soon break through to the first level of the Nayuan Realm. After the breakthrough, Lin Ye would qualify to vie for one of the ten martial arts slots in the grand competition between nations.

Unlike Beast Tamers, martial artists didn't split the competition into Meridian Opening Realm and Nayuan Realm levels but competed together. Therefore, without the cultivation of the Nayuan Realm, there was no hope of securing one of those ten slots.

Since the Lin Family was sending Lin Ye, it was only natural for Lin Zhantian, as his father, to accompany him personally.

With Lin Zhantian going, it would be natural for Lin Su's father not to go.

Otherwise, the Lin Family would be missing its backbone.

"The Lin Family and the Yun Family will probably travel together, departing this afternoon," Lin Zhen Nan continued smiling, "Once you arrive, if you're not accustomed to the accommodation arranged by the Beast Taming Union, you can stay in one of the Lin Family's properties in the imperial capital by reaching out to your uncle."

"Got it! I'll remember that," Lin Su smiled, "But I think it shouldn't be necessary."

After all, the one leading the Beast Taming Union this time was none other than Mu Yuxing.

Qi Yunhan was temporarily tied up with other matters and would not go to the capital for the earlier matches. He would depart only when the competition reached the finals.

"Then at the preselection competition, Su'er, do your best," Lin Zhen Nan stood up straight, "I've recently learned a lot about Beast Tamers. Among the elite Beast Tamers, your battle beasts should be considered very strong, so I believe you can definitely achieve a good ranking in this preselection competition."

"I'll try my best to reach the top two, so I have a chance to compete for a spot in the grand competition between nations in a few months," Lin Su smiled back, feeling somewhat touched in his heart.

If it were before, would his father have taken the trouble to learn about Beast Tamers?

"Off you go," Lin Zhen Nan nodded slightly.

Time was getting late, and Lin Su didn't want to keep the others at the Beast Taming Union waiting too long. Without further hesitation, he waved goodbye to his father and jogged out of the martial training field, heading quickly toward the Beast Taming Union.

...

"You've arrived."

Mu Yuxing stood at the gate of the Beast Taming Union, hands clasped behind his back, his demeanor easy and composed. Seeing Lin Su hurrying towards him, a hint of amusement flashed in his eyes, "There's still plenty of time, no need to rush like this."
