Beast Taming Begins with the Inner Circle of Pets

Chapter 187 You're unreasonable, I won't be rude—that's perfectly reasonable.

"You should know that the equipment and protective gear for professionals are all crafted from materials obtained from secret realms, right?"

Wang Zitong looked Lin Manman up and down, her gaze as if she were looking at a fool.

Lin Manman nodded. This was common sense; she certainly knew that.

"But these treasures are not things forged by our human society."

Wang Zihan tugged at her sister's sleeve. After their brief exchange, she had realized that Lin Manman's strength was far beyond what they had initially thought.

Even if they initially looked down on Lin Manman's background, it's unlikely that her current strength was entirely due to Meng Wenbin.

Out of respect for her brilliant rival, she didn't want her sister to continue to look down on him.

"Perhaps your teacher hasn't had a chance to tell you that the secret realm not only contains countless materials and a wide variety of spirit beasts, but also mysterious and dangerous ruins."

"These relics are randomly distributed throughout the secret realms; not all secret realms contain relics."

"The danger of ruins is often greater than that of the hidden realm itself, so most expedition teams do not explore ruins."

"Only expeditions specifically targeting the ruins will know this information."

This isn't a secret; Lin Manman only needs to go back and ask Meng Wenbin to find out.

Now that Wang Zihan is there to answer her questions, it's the same thing.

Upon hearing this, Lin Manman suddenly realized why she had never heard of these things before, even though her father was an expedition leader.

Ordinary expeditions, for the sake of survival, can obtain enough materials and spirit beasts from the secret realm to support their families. Who would be willing to risk their lives to explore so-called ruins?

"The equipment discovered from these ruins is classified according to the wearer's level into mortal weapons, treasure weapons, king weapons, emperor weapons, immortal weapons, and... divine weapons."

"Ordinary artifacts are generally suitable for ordinary professionals below level nine, treasure artifacts can be used up to the general level, king artifacts correspond to the king level, and emperor artifacts correspond to the emperor level."

"Once they reach the level of immortal artifacts or divine artifacts, their effects become even more profound, often not limited by the level requirements of the wielder."

"It's just that the known number of immortal artifacts is very small, and divine artifacts are even more legendary."

"Most of the equipment, protective gear, magic arrays, and even some cultivation techniques that we humans create today are learned from or inspired by these relics."

Because of the change in attitude towards Lin Manman, Wang Zitong's explanations became more detailed and thorough.

Unfortunately, the faint kindness she showed did not reach Lin Manman.

She was frowning in thought.

In this light, these ruins should also be symbols of a civilization that once existed in the secret realm.

Why are there no other humans or humanoid races in the secret realm now?

"Now you know how cheating and shameless you are to use this protective gear in a fight, right?" Wang Zitong looked at her indignantly.

Lin Manman snapped out of her reverie and couldn't help but sigh.

She silently removed the protective gear hidden under her clothes and put on a set of top-quality level 4 equipment that Meng Wenbin had given her.

Actually, even without this protective gear, it wouldn't have been that difficult for her to beat the two sisters.

It's just that these two sisters inexplicably insisted on fighting with her, so it's understandable that she doesn't have any martial ethics, right?

"Is it okay now?" She shrugged.

Wang Zitong looked at the several different types of protective gear on her head, neck, and ears, and almost turned red with anger. "Didn't you say you didn't have any other protective gear?"

Lin Manman blinked, oh dear, she'd accidentally contradicted herself. "Aren't there any other better protective gear...?"

Wang Zitong closed his eyes, raised his double blades, and slashed at Lin Manman.

However, her attack did not land on Lin Manman; instead, it was blocked by a layer of air.

Just as she was in surprise, a beautiful white python slowly shed its disguise and appeared before her eyes.

After the two sisters stopped attacking, Lin Manman's spirit pet quietly returned to her side, and Hongyu also took the opportunity to hide and protect Lin Manman.

Seeing Wang Zitong suddenly launch an attack, the spirit pets reacted immediately.

Rainbow Jade blocked her attack with her hardened scales, and Silver Moon's shadow clone, hidden in the shadows beneath Lin Manman, leaped up and pounced on Wang Zitong.

Wang Zihan reacted quickly, drawing her sword and rushing to Wang Zitong's side at almost the same time, cleaving the Shadow Howling Moon Wolf in two with a single strike.

"Hey, you call me shameless for starting a fight without warning, and you think you're so shameless?"

Lin Manman was flanked by Amber and the eldest brother, who were protecting her on either side. She looked at Wang Zitong with a smile and made a sarcastic remark.

Enraged, Wang Zitong's eyes flashed with fury, and a surge of dark energy rapidly spread from her body, instantly enveloping Lin Manman and her spirit pets in a dark world.

Wang Zitong's figure had already disappeared into this shadowy world.

Lin Manman took a look and exclaimed, "Oh wow, a domain skill! What a coincidence, her spirit pets also know it!"

The moment she disappeared, Silver Moon also conjured a shadow clone that vanished into the darkness in sync.

Amber once again condensed a fiery clone and a divine flame body, isolating Lin Manman from the dark world.

Unfortunately, Wang Zitong was much faster this time and had already stealthily reached Lin Manman's feet.

When her figure appeared strangely in front of Lin Manman, Wang Zihan immediately cast a layer of resistance around her.

Lin Manman's spirit pets' instinctive attacks were all deflected.

However, Lin Manman remained calm, and before Wang Zitong's curved blade could strike, she vanished from her spot.

When she reappeared, she was already outside the dark world created by Wang Zitong.

"Boss, you've been watching the show for ages, can't you lend a hand? If you keep dragging this out, Aunt Qin's snacks will get cold when we get back."

Lin Manman looked at the leader, who was carrying an iron rod and slacking off behind the spirit pets, and couldn't help but give him a warning with a dark expression.

Upon seeing Lin Manman being teleported away, a look of seriousness flashed across the faces of Wang Zihan and Wang Zitong.

They all knew that Lin Manman possessed a spirit pet with spatial attributes.

However, spatial teleportation is a very high-level skill. When Lin Manman was competing, Hong Yu could only teleport attacks and traverse space herself.

Therefore, they naturally assumed that with their strength, capturing Lin Manman, the beast tamer, surrounded by her spirit pets, wouldn't be too difficult.

However, they did not expect that Hongyu's spatial teleportation skill could already move Lin Manman to different locations at will.

This makes it extremely difficult for them to catch Lin Manman.

Then... we'll just have to take down this snake-like spirit pet first!

The two sisters exchanged a glance and, with perfect coordination, simultaneously attacked Hongyu.

When Hongyu saw that the two had changed their target to itself, it wagged its tail excitedly. Recently, it had been inspired by its boss and had come up with a lot of interesting ideas, which were perfect for finding a stronger opponent to test its skills against.

The leader tensed up at Lin Manman's words, and after Hongyu unleashed her heavy water domain, he also grabbed his iron rod and charged into the battle.

The snacks won't taste as good when they get cold!! We have to finish this quickly!!
