Beast Tamer: My pet has a game panel.

Chapter 428 Initial Cohesion
According to the effect of the Mysterious Nether Ghost King Pearl, Ye Mo knew in his heart that with the progress of his pets in condensing their souls, as long as he found another Mysterious Nether Ghost King, then whether it was Isaac or Bai Ling among his pets, the progress would exceed 50% and reach the initial level of condensing their souls.

And if he could hunt a few more, the three spirit pets he brought with him would hopefully break through the progress to more than 50%.

As for reaching 100% and directly condensing into a complete soul, he had thought about it, but he knew in his heart that the possibility was a bit low.

It is not only because the Xuanming Ghost King is difficult to find, but also because there is not enough time. In a little more than a day, he will be excluded from the secret realm and directly escape.

What's more, absorbing the Xuanming Pearl will produce "drug resistance", whether it is the pearl of Xuanming Ghost General or Xuanming Ghost Commander. Presumably, the soul pearl dropped by Xuanming Ghost King is similar.

So I just thought about letting the spirit pets condense complete souls. Now the more important thing is to continue looking for the Xuanming Ghost King and let the spirit pets reach the initial level of soul condensation.

After all, according to what he knew, as long as a fourth-level transcendent could initially condense his soul and achieve the important first step, he could then slowly polish it according to his own situation, thereby sublimating and transforming, step by step to initial condensation and perfect condensation.

In other words, with the current progress of his pets Hanhan, Bai Ling and Isaac in condensing their souls, if the progress can exceed 50%, then they will be able to slowly improve the progress of condensing their souls on their own.

Therefore, it is very important to achieve the initial concentration of the soul.

"Let's go. Time is running out. We should hurry up and continue to look for the Ghost King Xuanming." Ye Mo's eyes were firm and his tone was solemn.

The pets Hanhan, Bai Ling and Isaac all responded, and Qin Mu, who was not far away, saw this and nodded in response.

……

After making a plan, Ye Mo has decided to use the rest of his time in the secret realm to find and kill the Xuanming Ghost King.

Of course, after finding and killing the Xuanming Ghost King this time, his subsequent search will definitely be different from the aimless wandering at the beginning.

Based on the investigation and his own analysis, he was very sure that the Xuanming Ghost King would most likely only appear in the place where the magma gathered, because the environment there was very suitable for the Xuanming Ghost King to practice, so the direction he was looking for was also determined based on the route of the magma flowing on the ground.

In addition, as someone who had fought against the Xuanming Ghost King once, he was already prepared for the next battle.

The Xuanming Ghost King is a ghost from the upper king race. While he has reached the peak of the fourth level of cultivation, he also possesses a domain. The most important point is that he has condensed a complete soul. In terms of combat power alone, a regular fourth level domain-level cultivator is no match for him.

Among his three spirit pets, Bai Ling and Isaac are strong, but they still have difficulty facing the Xuanming Ghost King alone. Although Hanhan can restrain the opponent with super bursts, he also needs to prepare in advance to be effective.

There is no way. It is really too outrageous that after the complete soul is matched with the domain, it can absorb and transform the power of heaven and earth to restore one's own ability.

Like when he killed the Xuanming Ghost King before, it was because it happened too suddenly that Hanhan didn't have time to enter his strongest form. Isaac's defense against souls was relatively poor, and Bai Ling's strongest flying sword was not very effective against opponents without flesh and blood. Therefore, he chose to use the beast taming skill Star Map Liberation to solve the target.

Otherwise, he would definitely let Bai Ling kill the first Xuanming Ghost King and absorb the Xuanming Pearl it dropped. After all, Bai Ling had made the furthest progress in condensing his soul.

After everything was ready, Ye Mo led his spirit pets along the magma, searching for the gathering place. Although many Xuanming ghosts were attracted along the way and launched attacks, the strongest of them were only ordinary fourth-level Xuanming ghosts, which were too weak.

Ye Mo didn't even need to do anything himself, Qin Mu on the side would volunteer and let his spirit pet Ghost Whale go to clean up.

Although Ye Mo's pet can no longer absorb the soul beads of those mysterious ghosts, for Qin Mu, his pet still has a lot of room for improvement.

Ye Mo naturally understood this clearly, but he would not say anything. Anyway, as long as Qin Mu could deal with those Xuanming ghosts fast enough and it did not affect the speed of travel, then it would be no big deal to let his pet absorb the Xuanming Pearl.

Just like that, two hours later, Ye Mo and his party found another Xuanming Ghost King in a place where magma gathered.

However, this battle was much easier than the previous ones. As soon as Bai Ling, Isaac and Hanhan appeared, they directly expanded their domains to suppress the Ghost King Xuanming, trapping him in their domain. Then Bai Ling and Isaac attacked with all their strength to interfere with the Ghost King Xuanming.

As Hanhan was well prepared, he directly entered his strongest form and released perfect king-level skills one after another, directly breaking through the defense of Xuanming Ghost King and severely damaging him.

Bai Ling seized this opportunity and launched her strongest attack to destroy it.

As expected, the second Xuanming Ghost King Pearl was naturally absorbed by Bai Ling. This was also what Ye Mo had planned from the beginning, and he specifically told Hanhan and the others about it.

As companions who have been together for a long time, Hanhan had no objection to this, and Isaac was even more so, as he was the one who absorbed the first one.

After Bai Ling absorbed the Pearl of the Xuanming Ghost King, as Ye Mo had expected, Bai Ling's progress in condensing her soul broke through the fifty mark and directly reached 52%, having completed the initial level of condensing her soul.

With this breakthrough, Bai Ling also entered a state of transformation. Although her appearance did not change at all, her inner mental strength had actually undergone a qualitative change. Even if it was only a qualitative change, it was still a huge change.

It can be said that from this moment on, Bai Ling's combat power increased instantly. Although the improvement in skill burst may not be significant, its endurance has definitely increased a lot.

Through the detection function in the awakening talent, Ye Mo could see the changes and roughly estimate the improvement after Bai Ling initially condensed her soul, but this was different from seeing it with his own eyes, so he deliberately asked Bai Ling to fight with some Xuanming ghosts to see the improvement through actual combat.

The result was quite surprising. Although Bai Ling was still in the initial stage of condensing her soul, her ability to absorb and transform the power of heaven and earth was relatively limited. But even so, when she released her king-level skill [Golden Claw], the consumption was almost negligible.

In other words, Bai Ling's recovery speed is now enough to recover the consumption of an ordinary king-level skill within the preparation time of releasing an ordinary king-level skill.

Although Bai Ling had to give her all to achieve this effect, the process was a heavy burden on her newly condensed soul, and it couldn't last long.
But this is also terrifying. You have to know that for most fourth-level transcendents, king-level skills are already their strongest trump cards and the most powerful moves. Every time they are released, they have to plan carefully, otherwise if they don’t achieve the desired results, they will suffer a great loss.

This is the same even for the fourth level of domain level, it is just a little better at most.

Although the fourth-level Domain can rely on the domain to restore some energy, because the domain can provide an amplification effect, and skills can also be enhanced by the power of the domain itself, the consumption of the fourth-level Domain Transcendent when releasing skills will also be greater.
Therefore, for a fourth-level Domain, King-level skills are also trump cards and cannot be used as normal attacks. After Bai Ling completed the initial condensation of his soul, Ye Mo did not rest. Instead, he took his spirit pets and Qin Mu and continued to search for the Mysterious Ghost King.

Perhaps because of good luck, he found another Xuanming ghost in the last hour and a half of the day.

It was still the familiar method. The three spiritual pets directly expanded their domains, using stronger and more numerous domains to suppress the Xuanming ghost spirit, thereby restricting the opponent's actions and performance.

Afterwards, Hanhan, who was ready, exploded directly. Amidst the roar of thousands of thunders, he broke through the enemy's defense and caused serious damage to the Ghost King Xuanming.

Finally, seize the opportunity and let the arranged spirit pet kill the opponent, so as to absorb the Xuanming Pearl.

After all these attacks, even though the Xuanming Ghost King was quite powerful, he still had to die on the spot, leaving behind a soul bead, which became the nourishment for Ye Mo's spiritual pets to improve.

After killing the target, Ye Mo chose Hanhan as the absorber of the third Xuanming Ghost King Pearl. Although with Hanhan's progress, even after absorbing this soul pearl, the progress of his soul condensation would still be a little short of 50%.

But after all, Isaac and Bai Ling had already absorbed one, and now the only pet he had with him that hadn't absorbed one was Hanhan.

If the third pearl of the Mysterious Ghost King was given to Isaac to absorb at this time, although Isaac, as a giant dragon, would definitely make the progress of condensing the soul exceed 50%, and with his simple-minded personality, he probably wouldn't think there was anything wrong with it.

But Ye Mo himself felt uncomfortable, so he chose Hanhan so confidently.

Of course, there is another very important reason for this choice, that is, he can stay in this secret realm of Xuanming Underworld for another day, and according to the speed at which he searches for the Xuanming Ghost King, one day is enough for him to find a new Xuanming Ghost King anyway.

By then, it is very likely that both Hanhan and Isaac's progress will exceed 50%.

That's why he made this choice.

Time passed slowly, and after Hanhan absorbed the Pearl of the Mysterious Ghost King, his improvement was almost the same as before, but perhaps Hanhan had gone further on the 40% progress, very close to 41%, so after absorbing the soul pearl, his progress was the same as Isaac, both 48%.

Because he didn't break through 50% and didn't reach the level of initial soul condensation, Hanhan's changes this time were not big. Only his mental strength became a little higher, and other aspects were similar to before.

Without waiting, Ye Mo fed the spirit pets various recovery potions, and then continued to take them to find the Xuanming Ghost King.

His luck was average afterwards. It was not until noon on the last day, after more than ten hours, that he finally found three Xuanming Ghost Kings, and two of them were slightly different.

Unlike the previous Xuanming Ghost Kings who had already condensed complete souls, two of the Xuanming Ghost Kings he found this time had only reached the initial stage of soul condensation, and their strength was greatly reduced.

Therefore, Ye Mo specially gave this Xuanming Ghost King who had not condensed a complete soul a new name, the Xuanming Quasi-Ghost King.

It sounds bad, because the soul beads dropped by the Xuanming Quasi-Ghost King are far less effective than the normal soul beads of the Xuanming Ghost King. If those normal soul beads of the Xuanming Ghost King can increase the progress of Hanhan, Bai Ling and Isaac by 7%, then the soul beads of the Xuanming Quasi-Ghost King can only increase it by 3%.

Although the strength of this Xuanming Quasi-Ghost King has been greatly reduced and has become very easy to deal with, how could Ye Mo be happy about it?

In this way, although three Xuanming Ghost Kings were found in the morning, because two of them were quasi-ghost kings, the progress of his pets, Hanhan and Isaac, both broke through 50% and reached the level of initial condensation, but that was all, only 51% each, barely breaking through 50%.

This also brought him some very bad news. Next time he looked for the Xuanming Ghost King, there was a high possibility that after spending a lot of time, he would end up finding the Xuanming Quasi-Ghost King. Although it would still improve the progress of the spirit pets' soul condensation, it was almost impossible to make the spirit pets' progress reach 100% before leaving the secret realm.

"After a good rest, let's continue our journey." Ye Mo said with a firm expression after drinking a tube of recovery potion.

The spiritual pets around him who had finished their rest responded one after another, their spiritual power surged, indicating that they were ready.

As for Qin Mu who was following beside him, he looked a little tired. During this period, he and his spirit pet killed many fourth-level Xuanming Ghost Generals and Xuanming Ghost Marshals, which greatly improved the progress of his spirit pet's soul condensation.

But because of this, he consumed more energy and felt tired. Otherwise, with his fourth-level cultivation, not sleeping for just one or two days would not be a big deal.

"Ah."

After Qin Mu nodded in response, Ye Mo, feeling a little anxious, led them to continue searching.

Perhaps it was bad luck, or perhaps it was because most of the Xuanming Ghost Kings around had been found, but in the next ten hours that lasted until the early morning of the next day, Ye Mo and his team only found four Xuanming Ghost Kings, two of which were Xuanming Quasi-Ghost Kings.

But this point from the Ghost King of Xuanming is not enough for Hanhan, Bai Ling and Isaac.

But even if there are not enough points, there is nothing to say, because the time is up, and the space of the secret realm is repelling outsiders. This can be seen from the fact that Ye Mo and the others' movements have become heavy and slow.

"It seems that this is all we can do. What a pity." Ye Mo sighed in a safe cave.

Qin Mu smiled and said, "Thanks to you, my spirit pet has been able to achieve such a great improvement this time."

Originally, he was only planning to let his spirit pet awaken its domain this time, and didn't dare to think too much about other things, but he didn't expect to absorb so many Xuanming Pearls. This time he was really making a fortune.

After a while, the space began to vibrate, and with a flash of silver light, the figures of Ye Mo, Qin Mu and their spirit pets gradually disappeared, leaving only a clean open space.
