Beast Taming Patrol

"Cough, cough."

By the Jade Spirit Spring, Lin Su looked at Qiuqiu and Guigui, who were raring to go, and cleared his throat, "Are you ready?"

"Mew! (ᓀωᓂ)" (I'm ready!)

"Heh! (≧‿≦)" (I'm ready too!)

"Ooh! (❁´◡`❁)" (Good luck, big brother and second brother!)

"Since everyone is ready..." Lin Su paused slightly, "I hereby announce, the second internal competition begins now!"

"First, it's the skill banning phase. Considering that both of you have more skills than before, in this match, each side can ban three non-core skills of the opponent, one more than last time!"

"Now, you have three minutes to think it over!"

As Lin Su finished speaking, Qiuqiu and Guigui stared at each other from a distance, as if a flash of lightning passed between them in the void.

The setback from the last skill ban, they absolutely won't repeat this time!

Lin Su sat with Youyou on a nearby stone bench, watching the two with keen interest.

A month had passed since Qiuqiu completed its energy accumulation.

During this month, the strength of the three little ones had seen significant improvement.

With the large amount of resources prepared for it beforehand, Qiuqiu diligently made up for the stable energy values it had fallen behind on during accumulation, now reaching 950,000.

However, that was not the most exciting aspect.

During this month, the Time Zero Secret Realm once again produced an eighth-level time system resource, the same kind that Qiuqiu used for its evolution.

This resource was prioritized for the alliance's only time system pet, namely Qiuqiu.

With this time system resource and the inheritance left by Cold Venerate, Qiuqiu finally reached the first stage of time system rules comprehension.

Although it was only the first stage, it was still a time system rule, so it provided a great boost to Qiuqiu's overall strength.

More importantly, after also reaching the first stage of time system rules comprehension, Qiuqiu's Eternal Freeze Storm finally evolved to stage V!

Compared to Qiuqiu, Guigui's advancement was also notable.

Through a month of effort, its stable energy value also reached 950,000, now neck and neck with Qiuqiu.

Guigui's greater progress, however, was demonstrated in rules comprehension.

A month ago, Guigui's rules comprehension was at the peak of the second stage, about to enter the third stage.

Lately, it acquired a ninth-level resource from Dark Demon Immortal Country.

Since the alliance focused more efforts on exploring the exact location of a space system earth-class secret realm within the Dark Demon Immortal Country, this ninth-level resource was neither used nor researched during this time and was just placed in the Time Zero space.

This provided Guigui with numerous opportunities to approach and comprehend this ninth-level resource.

On the first day it made contact with this ninth-level resource, Guigui's dark system rules comprehension smoothly advanced to the third stage, and thereafter, it progressed at an astonishing speed.

After a month, its dark system rules comprehension had reached the sixth stage.

With each stage of rules comprehension advancement, the strength greatly escalates, and moving on to the next stage becomes increasingly challenging.

To progress from the third to the sixth stage in a month highlighted the significant aid this ninth-level resource provided to Guigui.

However, unfortunately, upon reaching the sixth stage, it became difficult for Guigui to simply approach the ninth-level resource to continue elevating its rules comprehension.

Unless it directly absorbs the ninth-level resource, the current sixth-stage comprehension would be Guigui's limit in the short term, making further advancement difficult.

And that, clearly, was not possible.

Not to mention the critical importance of that resource to the alliance; even if it were given to Guigui, Guigui currently lacked the ability to directly absorb a ninth-level resource.

A ninth-level resource compared to an eighth-level one seems only a level apart, but the disparity in strength is vast.

Aside from Qiuqiu and Guigui, Youyou has also made some progress this month.

However, this progress primarily reflects in potential.

After all, its stable energy value could no longer increase unless its growth rank first ascends to the monarch level.

Except for the scarcity of time system resources that were prioritized for Qiuqiu, Lin Su devised means to acquire eighth-level resources in gold, ice, spirit, and dark systems for Youyou to absorb.

In terms of absorption speed, Youyou was much faster than Qiuqiu and Guigui, thus it had now completed the absorption of these four resources, and although the stable energy value hadn't changed, all its attribute skills had started evolving towards stronger levels.

Not quite stage V, yet surpassing it.

Lin Su dared not imagine how Youyou would develop once its potential was fully unleashed after its next evolution.

Now, the three little ones had all completed contracts and all evolved into imperial species.

The second internal competition that Qiuqiu and Guigui had agreed upon was also due to commence.

After evolution, Qiuqiu directly entered energy accumulation, then once again balanced the gap in stable energy values, and even comprehended the space system rules. Qiuqiu felt it had reached a short-term peak state, ready to teach its little brothers and establish its position in the team.

Thus, it actively proposed this internal competition.

Guigui, however, did not back down. After weighing the options, it felt that although there were some disadvantages, victory wasn't out of the question.
