[You have killed an Ice Snake, gaining 35 experience points.]

...

[You have killed a Mysterious Ice Rat, gaining 36 experience points.]

...

[You have killed the Boss, Thousand-Foot Frost Centipede, gaining 580 experience points.]

...

[Ice Cave challenge successful.]

[Clear Time: 27 seconds.]

...

Since fire has a natural advantage over ice, and Chu Ran happened to want to see the power of the Blazing Dragon Sparrow, he simply summoned the Dragon Sparrow.

The Blazing Dragon Sparrow merely released the skill [Blazing Flame Fire Rain], and the incredibly frigid Ice Cave ahead was instantly transformed into a sea of fire...

[One-click loot complete.]

...

[Second Turn quest completed.]

[Your level has increased; you have gained twenty free attribute points.]

[Your level has increased; you have gained twenty free attribute points.]

...

A series of messages appeared before Chu Ran, and he hadn't even had time to be shocked yet.

With a thought, his Professional panel appeared before his eyes once again.

[Class: Second Turn · Beast Tamer]

[Level: Lv.2 -> Lv.26]

[Strength: 246 -> 485]

[Agility: 318 -> 642]

[Spirit: 65 -> 820]

[Combat Power: 541 -> 125]

[Free Attribute Points: 12]

[Skills: Contract Spell, Summon Spirit Diagram.]

[Beasts: Lv.18 Canglan Thunder Dragon, Lv.15 Blazing Dragon Sparrow.]

[Evolution Points: 765...7067...7069...]

...

Following his old habit, Chu Ran continued to allocate his free attribute points to Spirit.

[Spirit: 82 -> 940]

...

"So powerful!"

The information for the Blazing Dragon Sparrow also appeared.

[Current Beast: Blazing Dragon Sparrow.]

[Grade: Monarch Grade.]

[Level: Lv.15]

[Strength: 2860 -> 37280]

[Agility: 4672 -> 55400]

[Defense: 2645 -> 35130]

[Spirit: 3458 -> 43260]

[Combat Power: 38658 -> 54243]

[Skills: Blazing Flame Fire Rain, Dragon Sparrow Cry.]

...

[Evolution Points required for next evolution: 900,000.]

...

So this is the growth attribute of a Monarch Grade!

Chu Ran felt a bit emotional.

He had originally thought that the Canglan Thunder Dragon gaining 60 points in every attribute per level was already strong, but he hadn't expected the Blazing Dragon Sparrow to gain 620 points per level!

Chu Ran's current combat power at level 26 wasn't even as much as the combat power his two beasts gained from leveling up twice...

"Others say a mother's status depends on her son; I never expected that one day, my status would depend on my beasts..."

The combined combat power of the two beasts was nearly 100,000... It seemed there were few Professionals in Lin Feng City with combat power exceeding 10,000...

That new patriarch of the Tang Family, Tang Xiaotian, was hailed as the strongest Sixth Turn Professional in Lin Feng City.

He also served as the Garrison Envoy of Lin Feng City and the Grand Elder of the Alliance!

Even he had only recently, at nearly fifty years old, broken the 30,000 combat power mark!

It seemed Chu Ran had only taken...

Less than a day to reach this realm...

He had just awakened this morning, and by the afternoon, he had become the number one person in Lin Feng City...

This cheat is just too powerful...

...

Moreover, Chu Ran was surprised to find that after becoming a Second Turn Professional, the Evolution Points that previously increased by one per second were now increasing by two per second!

"Holy crap!"

This meant that for a beast that originally needed ten days to evolve to Saint Spirit Level, the time would be cut down to five days at this rate!

After tidying everything up, Chu Ran left the Ice Cave.

He quietly passed through the noisy crowd and walked straight into the teahouse across the street.

After drinking three cups of hot tea in a row, his mood finally calmed down.

Then, he saw an interesting scene through the window.

"Holy crap! Twenty-seven seconds! He must be cheating!"

"It's this 'Po' again! I saw someone post on the Professional forum that the record for the Lava Volcano was also broken by him this morning!"

The dungeon speedrun record had been updated. Upon seeing this information, the Professionals crowded forward, looking at the new record in disbelief...

"Thirty-six seconds for Lava Volcano, twenty-seven seconds for Ice Cave, are you kidding me? You're telling me this is the performance of a First Turn Professional?"

The speedrun record for the Ice Cave had been dominated by that genius girl, Tang Xuerou, for over a year.

People had thought that Lin Feng City would never see another monstrous genius like Tang Xuerou...

But now, someone named 'Po' had suddenly appeared and created another staggering record...

For a time, almost everyone in Lin Feng City was discussing who this 'Po' actually was!

Some said he was a god descended to earth, while others said he was a new-generation genius from a hidden great family...

...

Not far from the entrance of the Ice Cave, there was a heavily guarded, tall gatehouse.

Two gilded characters hanging on the main gate were particularly eye-catching.

Tang Residence.

This was the residence of the Tang Family.

It was also the border between Lin Feng City and the Desolate Realm, and thus served as the office for the Garrison Team...

Within the walls of the Tang Residence was a peaceful community life.

But outside the walls were ferocious Extraterrestrial Demonic Beasts watching intently...

These were not the virtual projections found in dungeons, but real, brutal, and terrifying demonic beasts!

Tang Xiaotian stood atop the city wall, expressionlessly watching the savage beasts beyond the Desolate Realm.

Hearing the commotion at the dungeon entrance, he calmly asked the attendant beside him, "Why is it so lively today?"

"Today, a Beast Tamer with the nickname 'Po' broke the records for both the Lava Volcano and the Ice Cave in succession."

A hint of surprise appeared on Tang Xiaotian's face, and he then smiled. "That's a good thing. Xuerou should be very happy; it seems she hasn't had a decent opponent in a long time..."

The phenomenon triggered when Tang Xuerou was born led to her being hailed as the Professional with the most hope of breaking through to the Seventh Turn in the Tang Family within a hundred years.

Coupled with her innate Ice Domain, which gave her a massive boost, she was able to set the speedrun record for the Ice Cave.

Even some other Third Turn Professionals might not necessarily be able to achieve such a result...

Having someone break this record just goes to show that Lin Feng City has plenty of geniuses...

However, the attendant's expression wasn't very good...

"Why do you have that look on your face?" Tang Xiaotian asked, puzzled.

"It was broken, yes... but the time was too short..." the attendant said with a troubled look.

"Isn't shorter better?" Tang Xiaotian said with a faint smile.

"The new record for the Ice Cave is... twenty-seven seconds..."

"Huh...?" Tang Xiaotian's pupils dilated in shock as he tilted his head toward the attendant:

"What the heck? How much did you say?"

...
