141: Your talent is too strong

In less than two minutes, Ziyu had forcefully killed the giant demonic rat, an over-level kill.

The terrifying power and speed of the lightning element were truly formidable.

What's more, with the boost from Purple Lightning Thunder Source, it instantly transformed into a spell machine gun.

After such a combination, how many Beasts could withstand it?

After seeing all this, Lin Shu was very satisfied.

Although Ziyu was currently the weakest among his Beasts, with the boost of his Talent and inherent strength, his combat power could not be underestimated and posed a significant threat.

Once his level increased later, he would also become Lin Shu's right-hand man.

Ziyu came to Lin Shu's side, chest puffed out, seeking praise, with pride and anticipation in his eyes.

Lin Shu naturally wouldn't ignore him, smiling as he ruffled his increasingly large horse head.

"Very good, keep up the hard work."

These words immediately filled Ziyu with excitement and motivation.

His master's approval was like heavenly music to him.

Hei Ye, seeing this smug display, immediately felt annoyed, rolled his eyes, and turned away, looking elsewhere.

At this moment, the giant demonic rat's charred body vanished into points of light.

A mechanical voice followed, "First floor cleared, reward +5 credits!"

It was indeed a small reward, but it was normal for the first floor to be like a welfare handout.

The rewards for later floors would naturally be more generous, and the types would not be limited to just credits.

There would also be secret techniques, spiritual objects, evolution materials, and other items to choose from.

This was a place where one didn't need to spend credits, and could even earn them.

This was also why everyone liked to come here.

As the words fell, a circular vortex appeared before them.

It was simply the portal to the next floor.

Lin Shu led everyone directly to the next floor.

Since there was no damage, no healing methods appeared.

This was the same as the Trial Tower.

Soon, they transitioned to the next scene.

It was largely similar to the first floor, without much change.

As for scene changes, that was a rule that only came into effect after the fifteenth floor.

At that point, the difficulty would naturally skyrocket.

The Beast on the second floor was a Level 41 White Jade Sparrow.

The power increase was minimal, so Lin Shu continued to let Ziyu fight solo.

This also served to train his combat ability.

Just like that, they swept through, making rapid progress.

They soon arrived at the twentieth floor.

At this point, the scene changed dramatically, and they instantly found themselves in a desert with sand flying everywhere and a dry climate.

The guardian Beast here had already reached Level 59.

Ziyu could no longer clear floors solo by the fourth floor, and after that, Tu Yao took over.

After reaching the 11th floor, Tu Yao also stopped, and then Hei Ye took the stage.

Lin Shu was not in a hurry to clear the tower; this way, his Beasts could accumulate more combat experience and learn to handle various complex situations.

Anyway, he had nothing else to do today, so he might as well hone their skills.

Moreover, his speed was not slow, at least at an average level.

Upon reaching the twentieth floor, the solo combat strategy became somewhat difficult.

Thus, Lin Shu had no choice but to use his frequently employed human wave tactic.

The three Beasts swarmed in, ganging up on the guardian Beast...

About an hour later, Lin Shu's figure emerged from the Reward Tower.

He ultimately only cleared 24 floors, stopping at the 25th floor.

It was as if there was a boss every few waves; the 25th floor actually featured a rare Mental-type Beast.

It was level 64, with incredibly powerful Mental strength; just a few glares at Hei Ye and the others caused them to explode on the spot.

Its speed was so fast that even a secret technique shield couldn't be applied.

This showed how strong the opponent's Mental power was.

It also gave Lin Shu a rough idea of his own general strength.

His three Beasts were enough to contend with enemies around the sixth tier.

His current lineup was still relatively healthy.

With Tu Yao drawing aggro, and even able to stun opponents with Battle Qi Release for counterattacks.

Hei Ye and Ziyu, one a lightning mage and one a burst damage assassin, meant there was no need to worry about output capability.

Of course, this referred to ordinary Beastmasters; genius Beastmasters were not included.

The higher the Beast's level, the harder it was to challenge higher-level opponents; a single level difference would be very noticeable, especially above the seventh tier.

For the reward section, Lin Shu subsequently chose only credit rewards.

Those ordinary secret techniques and spiritual objects were of no help to him.

He gained a total of 450 credits, bringing his credit balance to 2347.

Outside, it was still lively, though the crowd had thinned a bit.

Chu Yu had been outside for a while, and seeing Lin Shu show no sign of emerging, he was filled with doubt.

His speed was a bit slow; could he have reached a higher floor? It was common knowledge that the higher the floor, the longer it took.

He himself had only reached the 25th floor; that Mental-type Beast was truly abnormal.

Even with timely defensive secret techniques and his Talent fully activated, he barely lasted five minutes.

Fortunately, at this moment, he spotted Lin Shu's figure.

Chu Yu waved, indicating the direction.

The two walked out of the crowd, heading towards a less populated area.

"I failed at the 25th floor. How about you?" Chu Yu asked with a hint of curiosity.

"Same, also the 25th floor."

"That Mental-type Beast's suppression of lower-level Beasts is too strong; I didn't even last a minute."

When Chu Yu heard Lin Shu say the number 25, his heart sank.

Damn, he was about to be surpassed.

Fortunately, he had lasted over five minutes, so he was still slightly stronger.

However, with Lin Shu's rate of improvement, this small gap would probably be overcome very quickly...

It was too exaggerated; a month ago, the main Beasts of the two had a level difference of about ten.

Now it was less than five levels. Was the Beast Talent that speeds up Beast leveling so powerful?

He suddenly felt his own combat Talent was no longer as impressive...

"You're ridiculous; your strength is improving too fast."

Lin Shu waved his hand, indicating it wasn't the case.

"It's just that the leveling speed is a bit faster."

"Your strength is definitely still superior."

"I only reached the 25th floor because I have more Beasts."

"Is that so...?"

Chu Yu heard this and felt there was nothing wrong with it.

But vaguely, something felt off.

He also knew other Beastmasters, and similar Talents were not unheard of.

Yet, none of them upgraded like Lin Shu, like a rocket.

Perhaps his Talent was of a higher grade...

Lin Shu's Beasts were all unfamiliar, clearly rare evolved forms.

It was understandable that their combat power was strong.

He didn't think much of it; geniuses couldn't be compared to normal people.

Even if he was called a genius by others, compared to Lin Shu, he was simply not worth mentioning.

"The mentor has been talking about you recently, saying you haven't visited since you came to school."

"Why don't you come with me to see him?"

The mentor Chu Yu spoke of was naturally Old Song.

Old Song had been talking about him, which surprised Lin Shu.

Then he thought of the events from a while ago and understood.

"Sure, I have nothing to do today."

"Let's go."

Old Song was a Research Department mentor, specializing in Beast evolution.

He focused on Ice-type Beasts.

Although Chu Yu was Old Song's student, he was still registered in the Combat Department.

After all, not everyone had the ability and patience to delve into these things.

Old Song and Chu Yu's acquaintance was merely an accident.

The perspective slowly rose.

Lin Shu then followed Chu Yu to Old Song's location...
