Beast Taming Patrol

Although Senior Mu had been completely unaware of the concept of the bonding synergy index before, Lin Su believed that after decades of experiencing all sorts of crises together with his beast companion and arriving at today's juncture, his bonding synergy index must not be low.

At least it should be above eighty.

Reaching eighty for the bonding synergy index enters the Unity Zone. Although one cannot directly engage in Guardian Beast Co-operation, one can already begin to sense the existence of that barrier.

That barrier, which can only be broken with a full bonding synergy index.

…

"Whoosh!"

Lin Ye burst through the gates of the side courtyard and dashed towards the yard where Lin Zhantian was, "Dad, something terrible has happened!"

"You rascal, what's got you so flustered…?" Lin Zhantian turned around with a chuckle, but his expression quickly became solemn after seeing Lin Ye's anxious face, and he quickly stepped forward, "What happened?"

"Su'er might be in danger!" Lin Ye took a deep breath and quickly spoke.

"What?!" Lin Zhantian's face changed, "Isn't Su'er in the finals of the preselection contest today? Has he been injured by other competitors during the finals?"

"No…" Lin Ye opened his mouth, then struggled to find where to start.

"Snap!"

"Let's go!" Lin Zhantian slapped Lin Ye's shoulder, "We'll talk as we walk."

"Okay." Lin Ye nodded hastily.

As they hurried towards the venue of the preselection contest finals, Lin Ye, having caught his breath, quickly informed Lin Zhantian of everything he had witnessed on the way there.

"You're saying Su'er can merge with his beast companion into one entity? And he can even execute martial techniques?" Lin Zhantian sounded as if he was listening to fairy tales.

If it wasn't his own son saying this, he would never believe that such a thing was possible.

"It's true!" Lin Ye nodded emphatically, "And after Su'er came out of the secret realm, several hall-level Beast Tamers started fighting, and everyone else also crowded around, Zhenzhen asked me to hurry back to call you."

"This…" Lin Zhantian quickened his pace a bit, his eyebrows tightly furrowed.

If such a thing truly existed.

He could imagine how much other Beast Tamers would covet Su'er's abilities.

A man is not guilty, but possessing a jade invites trouble.

No!

This situation was beyond the ability of a martial artist at the twelfth level of the Nascent Realm to resolve.

He needed to call his big brother over.

Lin Zhantian's brows were locked, and his pace suddenly halted.

Without a moment's hesitation, he took out a fist-sized black bead from his Space Ring, quickly infusing it with his Yuan force.

As the bead lit up, Lin Zhantian briefly explained the situation, then abruptly crushed the bead.

The Mother-child Communication Bead, a one-time trigger for long-distance messaging.

"Dad, what is this?" Lin Ye blinked.

"Your dad can't handle this!" Lin Zhantian's expression was somewhat grave, "Your uncle needs to take action. I've already informed him, and we're going to head over now. Hopefully, we're not too late."

"Yes!"

…

"Thud thud thud!"

A series of slightly dull drum beats spread rapidly in the open training field. Those who were practicing quickly stopped their exercises and sparring, wiped their flowing sweat with the towels soaked in spring water that the servants had prepared, and then took large gulps of the refreshing spring water handed to them by the servants, with laughter rising and falling.

The afternoon training session had ended, and it was time for them to eat. Naturally, they were in good spirits.

At one of the high platforms in the training field, Lin Zhen Nan, who was sitting cross-legged in mid-air, slowly opened his eyes, retracted the long spear hovering quietly in front of him, and his Yuan force gradually dissipated as he slowly landed on the high platform.

His gaze instinctively shifted towards the direction of the imperial city.

Calculating the time, Su'er and the others had been in the imperial city for a month now.

He wondered if Su'er had gotten used to life in the imperial city. In the last letter Zhantian had sent home, he mentioned that Su'er had performed well in the preselection contest and had now advanced to the round-robin stage and was participating in the finals.

Speaking of which… today should be Su'er's final match, right?

He wondered if Su'er stood a chance to claim one of those two spots. If he did, they should prepare a lavish meal when he came back.

No, he should also invite the heads of the other families from Yongnan City.

For such a joyful occasion, it was only right to share the happiness with old friends.

With this thought, Lin Zhen Nan's face instantly revealed a hint of a smile.

However, in the next instant, his expression slightly stiffened.

At that moment, Lin Zhen Nan felt a special fluctuation.

In his hand, the Space Ring flashed, and a black bead appeared swiftly.

As the black bead shattered in Lin Zhen Nan's palm, a voice accompanied the bead's destruction, pouring into Lin Zhen Nan's ears.

Lin Zhen Nan's expression slowly darkened, and by the time the voice had completely faded, his face was already as somber as still water.

"Tell the lady not to wait for me for dinner!"

After dropping these words, Lin Zhen Nan took up his spear, his figure violently surged, and he soared into the sky.

Among the sounds of thunder, his powerful cultivation of the seventh level of the Sky Soaring Realm fully erupted, bringing a sweeping gust, and like a bolt of thunder, he streaked across the sky.

In the blink of an eye, he was at the edge of the sky.

The tremendous Yuan force tore apart the fierce winds rushing towards him, and murder and anxiety filled Lin Zhen Nan's eyes.

Feeling his speed akin to Thunder Light's rapid streak, discontent still flickered in Lin Zhen Nan's eyes.

It wasn't fast enough.

He clenched his teeth and quickly took out a Jade Talisman from his Space Ring.

On that Jade Talisman, silver patterns were as intricate as constellations, with only an ancient character inscribed within.
