Beast Tamer: My pet has a game panel.

Chapter 527 Progress
2120, April 2.

A verdant island, beneath giant trees.

Facing the slight chill in the wind, Ye Mo flipped through the documents in his hands, sometimes nodding and sometimes deep in thought.

On the desk made of Emerald Wood, Bai Ling moved about, playing around the teapot with Xing Li beside her, their clear laughter ringing out from time to time.

In front of them, above a field filled with spiritual plants and magical herbs, Xiao Liu'er, dressed in a white dress, stood with her hands on her hips, directing a group of flesh and blood puppets to irrigate the spiritual field.

"Phew, that's it." Ye Mo put down the documents in his hand, leaned back in his chair, and let out a long sigh.

Today is the day he returns to Yanhuang. Although there are still a few days until March, he had already made arrangements with his master, so he will first go back to Shanghai and then go to Zhongzhou with his master, Chu Dehou.

After thinking it over, Ye Mo turned to look at Bai Ling and Xing Li playing on the table, and his eyes softened considerably.

The hunting of fifth-tier magical beasts has gone fairly well overall during this period. Of the four targets in the sea, one was not found, two were successfully hunted, and the last one, the Ice Horned Dragon Lizard, was successfully tamed.

Of the nine targets on the Light Spirit Continent, he actually only went to four locations. The first three targets were too ferocious to communicate with, so he killed them one by one with his spirit pets and undead experts, and retrieved their corpses.

As for the fourth target, it was the Frost Giant King who had caused him trouble. A tribe of just over a hundred people had five fifth-tier Frost Giant Kings, with the leader possessing the strength of the peak of the fifth tier. This strength was indeed beyond his expectations, and it was normal that he could not deal with it.

However, it was rare for a race of such strength to arouse his desire to subdue them. If he could truly subdue those frost giants, it would be of immense significance to him, the Expansion Merchant Guild, and even the forces of the Azure Snow Mountain Range.

After all, with five fifth-tier transcendents, all being frost giants, their combined power would be even greater. This power would be of great help whether facing forces coveting the Expansion Merchant Guild or dealing with the risks of the Azure Snow Mountain Range's expansion.

After suffering a loss at the Frost Giant King, he was planning to continue hunting down subsequent targets. However, at that time, Hanhan actually broke through to the fifth tier of the blacksmith profession, gaining the ability to create fifth-tier extraordinary equipment and domain-type extraordinary equipment.

However, because crafting the appropriate extraordinary equipment required him to sense the target area, and given that it was less than two days away from today, he stopped his hunting plan.

Thinking of this, Ye Mo looked up and gazed into the distance. In that direction was the location of the Hanhan Forging Base.

In the past two days, Hanhan has devoted all his energy to forging, especially to creating extraordinary equipment of the domain type. Even when faced with situations where his mental or physical strength is too depleted, he will continue to persevere by taking recovery potions.

With such efforts, Hanhan did achieve some results, successfully crafting a fourth-tier domain-type equipment, but it was still far from Hanhan's desired goal.

He couldn't help Hanhan much with this matter; besides providing ample forging materials, he could only make more potions.

"I hope everything goes well," Ye Mo murmured.

Upon hearing this, Bai Ling and Xing Li turned around and looked over. The impulsive Bai Ling asked directly, "Ye Mo, Ye Mo, when are we going back, meow?"

During this time, Bai Ling also learned human language through some magical tools, but because the time was too short, she still has some speech impediments.

Xingli, standing to the side, looked on with curiosity. Having been here for quite some time, she did indeed miss Yanhuang. Although she had spent the New Year in Beihan City, for her, a member of the Yangtze River Dragon Clan, going home meant at least going to the central region of Yanhuang.

"Don't rush, Hanhan is still crafting the equipment. Once he's finished, we can go back." Ye Mo looked at Bai Ling and the other two little ones with tenderness in his eyes.

During this period, besides Hanhan's group, Bai Ling and Isaac also made significant gains.

After all, even if the hunting plan wasn't fully completed, he and his spirit pets fought against fifth-tier magical beasts seven times, especially the five Frost Giant Kings in the final battle, which gave Bai Ling and Isaac a severe beating.

After such frequent and high-level battles, how could Isaac, Bai Ling, and Xiao Liu'er not have improved?

Among them, Bai Ling's King-level skill [Suppressing Golden Claw] has successfully broken through to level 5, gaining the power of sealing. Every time it hits the opponent's body or skill, the sealing power will infect the target, thereby restricting the target's energy mobilization, which can be described as having full control.

Ye Mo wasn't surprised that Bai Ling's first breakthrough to level 5 with the King-level skill [Suppressing Golden Claw].

After all, among Bai Ling's many skills, [Sword Forging Technique] and [Light Wings] are both resource-intensive skills. In other words, the level of these two skills is not improved through combat and training, but by spending money.

As for the remaining [Sword Control Technique] and [Heart of Light], although Bai Ling seems to use the former a lot, she is actually just wielding her natal flying sword and doesn't gain much proficiency experience. The latter is, after all, a relatively powerful skill among King-level skills, so its improvement speed is naturally slower.

As for Xiao Liu'er, her skill improvement is quite good. The proficiency of several king-level skills has increased significantly, but she is still a bit short of breaking the level 5 limit.

But this was nothing to Xiao Liu'er, since she was the key figure in this hunting plan. All the corpses of the fifth-tier magical beasts that were killed were given to Xiao Liu'er so that she could use the [Flesh and Blood Puppet] skill to turn those corpses into fifth-tier puppets.

Judging from the current results, the gains are indeed considerable. Under the best circumstances, the five newly obtained monster corpses can be used to create five fifth-tier flesh golems.

Those are five fifth-tier combatants. Although they are only ordinary fifth-tier combatants, they can still play a significant role in the puppet's state of complete obedience to orders and fearlessness of life and death.

Of course, that's all for later. At least for now, Xiao Liu'er has only successfully turned two of her corpses into fifth-tier puppets, and the remaining three corpses are still being slowly made.

There was no other way; creating a fifth-tier puppet consumed too much of Xiao Liu'er's life force. Unlike the Cloud Mist Island Whale, whose hundreds of meters in size naturally possessed immense life force.

The five newly acquired fifth-tier magical beast corpses, although they were also quite large and had very strong vitality, were still far inferior to the Cloud Mist Island Whale.

Isaac's gains were the most ordinary. His King-level skill, [Crystal Flame Dragon Breath], was just a little bit away from level 5, but he just couldn't break through.

The King-level skill [Bloodline Crystallization] is so unique—it's like a combination of several King-level skills—that even now, it's only at level 4 (Perfect). This is probably because those battles posed too little threat to Isaac.

After all, Isaac was known for his defense and recovery. Most of the fifth-tier magical beasts he faced were of average strength. They were indeed stronger than Isaac, but let alone killing him, even injuring him would be quite difficult.

In this situation, it seems quite normal that Isaac's improvement is not significant.

Next up is Bai You. She has always only liked studying formations and has little interest in combat. In those battles against fifth-tier magical beasts, she was just a tool for the formations. Therefore, her improvement in her physical body should be the smallest among all the spirit pets.

However, she has made significant progress in the art of array formations. But once an array master reaches the fifth rank, it becomes much more difficult to break through. With this small improvement, she is still a long way from becoming a sixth-rank array master.

After a moment of reflection, Ye Mo turned his gaze back to the table, looking at the little Xing Li with a complex mix of emotions.

Because of the decision he and the Dragon Lords made, his plan for Xing Li was to wait until he became a fifth-tier Beast Tamer before forming a contract with her. Before that, his training of Xing Li was mainly based on laying a solid foundation, as the Dragon Lords had said.

Therefore, as a spirit pet that has not yet been formally contracted, even after several months, Xing Li's growth level is only level 35, not even reaching the peak of the third tier.

If it were any other spirit pet, and it could break through from level 26 to level 35 in less than three months, it would be a cause for celebration.

But this speed was actually very slow for him.

After all, he is no longer the novice Beast Tamer who just awakened the Star Chart. Now, his Beast Tamer cultivation has reached the peak of the fourth rank, and his five spirit pets have also raised their growth level to the peak of the fourth rank. Moreover, the spirit pets are only a thought away from the fifth rank.

In terms of combat strength, Hanhan is no weaker than a normal fifth-tier peak extraordinary being, while Bai Ling and Isaac can fight against ordinary fifth-tier beings without being at a disadvantage.

Little Willow even possesses a fifth-tier flesh and blood puppet, making ordinary fifth-tier beings no match for her. Even Bai You, whose true strength is the weakest, can summon the spirit body of a sixth-tier demon beast using sixth-tier spirit crystals if she doesn't care about the cost, making her the most dangerous.

As for financial resources, it goes without saying that with the help of the Azure Snow Mountain Range in Yanhuang, the Pirate Merchant Guild, Pirate Bay, Sapphire Merchant Guild, and Burial Ground in this other world, the wealth accumulated through the connection between the two worlds could form a mountain.

With such strength and wealth, if he had directly contracted with Xing Li back then, with the help of the experience function and the infusion of a large amount of resources, Xing Li would probably have broken through to the fourth rank by now.

However, regarding Xing Li's arrangements, since he had already decided to formally contract her after becoming a King-level Beast Tamer, he could only wait.

According to Long Zun and his master, the first spirit pet that a Beast Tamer contracts after breaking through to the fifth rank will bring him many benefits. Although the increased chance of breaking through to the fifth rank is not very useful to him now, it is better than nothing.

And there are other benefits too. If it helps Xingli's evolution, that would be great.

After all, it is extremely difficult for Xingli to evolve.

As a spirit pet with legendary bloodline potential, Xingli's next evolution will directly become the Starry Sky True Dragon, a legendary race, without any transitional forms.

Perhaps because the purity of the true dragon bloodline is not high enough, Xing Li's requirements for evolution are also quite high. If she relies on herself alone, she will most likely only be able to evolve into other forms, such as the Void Serpent and the Starry Cold Dragon of the superior monarch race.

However, as Xingli's future Master, how could he allow Xingli to evolve along other paths? Therefore, no matter what, he had to pave the way for Xingli to evolve into a legendary race.

Even with his current considerable strength and wealth, it would still be very troublesome for Xing Li to successfully evolve into a Starry Sky Dragon, requiring a lot of time and a certain amount of luck.

Therefore, if his contract with Xing Li after reaching the fifth rank can truly make Xing Li's evolution easier, that would be wonderful.

Of course, even if it doesn't work, he won't be disappointed. Anyway, he has already prepared a plan to help Xing Li evolve step by step. Although it is only an outline, it will become more detailed after he breaks through to the fifth rank and becomes a King-level Beast Tamer.

A silver light flashed, and the entrance to the contract space opened. Ye Mo picked up Bai Ling with one hand and held Xing Li with the other. Then, the entrance to the space emitted light, taking in all the tables, chairs, tea sets, and documents placed on top of them.

"Let's go, let's go to Hanhan's first. After Hanhan is done, we'll set off directly." Ye Mo smiled and placed Bai Ling on his left shoulder. Xing Li, on his left hand, skillfully climbed up his arm to his right shoulder, flicking its tongue and watching quietly.

"Then let's go quickly, meow!" Bai Ling said to Ye Mo with a look of excitement after licking her paws.

Nodding, Ye Mo got up and led Bai Ling and Xing Li out of the shadow of the giant tree. He first went to the herb field to call Xiao Liu'er, and then called Isaac, who was still resting in the tree.

Finally, they found Bai You studying the formation in an invisible array not far away. After saying hello to her, Ye Mo led Bai Ling and the others to the forging area hidden by the formation using the power of the teleportation array.

……

Inside the forging room.

Hanhan gripped the forging hammer tightly, focusing intently on the prototype equipment being forged in front of him. With his final heavy blow, the three fundamental sources of spiritual power, energy, and life force flowed along his arm and through the hammer into the prototype equipment.

In an instant, the spirit infusion was successful, and the perfect embryo gradually took shape under the control of the simple-minded spirit.

Finally, with a dazzling flash of light, a brand new Tier 5 extraordinary equipment was perfectly formed.

Seeing this, the somewhat mentally exhausted Hanhan put the forging hammer aside and a pure smile appeared on his face.
