67: Chapter 67 Elemental Master Super Double

The Crystal Turtle leader looked much happier upon hearing this arrangement, though it tried to suppress its expression, making it not very obvious.

Seeing another general added to Lin Kuang's command, Yu Xiaotang stomped her feet with a hint of anger and said dissatisfiedly, "You got lucky again! What about my business?"

Lin Kuang waved his hand to signal Yu Xiaotang to calm down. The Crystal Turtle had indeed played a prank on her earlier, but now that it was his Spirit Beast, he teased it into provoking Yu Xiaotang.

Teasing aside, once the point was made, Lin Kuang added a moment later, "Alright! Since things have turned out like this, are you sure you want to come with me?"

The Crystal Turtle blinked its watery eyes at Lin Kuang, and just like that, Lin Kuang successfully signed a contract with the Crystal Turtle.

After subduing the Crystal Turtle leader, Lin Kuang leaned over and said to Yu Xiaotang, "There are several more here. Aren't you considering taking one?"

"Me? Subdue them?" Yu Xiaotang was only angry at the Crystal Turtle that played the prank; she didn't have any particular desire to take them as spirit pets.

Furthermore, a Crystal Turtle's shell is a material for making Magic Treasures; as an Alchemist, Yu Xiaotang was even less interested.

"Better to let them stay here as a fire squad! We're about to arrive at Luoye City, where there are grass-type Spirit Beasts. I'll see if I should find a companion for Rosa Flower."

When it comes to subduing spirit pets, the subjective factor lies with the Cultivator themselves; one must have a genuine liking for them to let the spirit pet unleash its potential, otherwise it's no different from a tool!

Therefore, Lin Kuang felt there was nothing wrong with Yu Xiaotang's approach.

"Hehe, congratulations little brother Lin Kuang on obtaining a water-type spirit pet and contributing a fire squad to the town!"

"This is all thanks to your help, Sister Liu, otherwise I wouldn't have been able to fly over so quickly!"

"Ah, hahaha! Hearing you say that makes me really happy!" As Liu Ruyan spoke, her body involuntarily moved in for a hug.

"Lin Kuang, thank you for your contribution to the Cultivation Alliance! Keep it up! I look forward to your brilliant performance in the Xuanyuan Grand Tournament!"

The sudden proactive embrace left Lin Kuang a bit flustered; he didn't expect things to progress so fast.

To the side, Yu Xiaotang was also dumbfounded, her heart filled with mixed emotions: Why are they hugging like that? Is Lin Kuang really that popular?

First Sister Liu Ruyan, and now even Sister Meihua's gaze toward Lin Kuang feels different.

I clearly met Lin Kuang first! Why do I have such a strong sense of crisis? Actually, I feel their relationship with Lin Kuang has already surpassed that of ordinary friends.

Why do I have this strange feeling?

Yu Xiaotang watched Lin Kuang and Liu Ruyan hug and then separate, still unable to figure out what that feeling meant.

However, Lin Kuang quickly realized that by helping Liu Ruyan solve the problem, she could not only claim credit from her superiors but also show off to her colleagues. Coupled with the favorability from the mission, Liu Ruyan's feelings toward him were even stronger.

But it was still a bit away from 'conquering' her; it had only reached the level of a hug.

But feelings need to be nurtured slowly, just like the galgames I play—you need to do missions to grind favorability, then advance step by step before finally conquering them.

After bidding farewell to Sister Liu Ruyan, Lin Kuang took Yu Xiaotang and flew toward Luoye City.

Yu Xiaotang was still pondering the relationship between Liu Ruyan and Lin Kuang, remaining very quiet.

[Crystal Turtle]

[Race Value: 350]

[Cultivation: first realm Peak]

[Potential: half-step heavenly king]

[Trait: Water Avoidance. Moving in water can form a water-avoiding shield for underwater movement. The depth of activity increases as the Crystal Turtle's Rank rises.]

This trait of the Crystal Turtle is very suitable for underwater treasure hunting and escaping!

As expected, fated rivals are different; they can bring surprises every time! Maybe next time I can rely on them to slowly grind favorability and then conquer Liu Ruyan.

[Ding! The host has obtained the four elements of Wind, Fire, Thunder, and Water, completing the hidden achievement: Element Master I.]

[The One-Star Saint-Grade Talent has entered the host's body. The host's cultivation speed is increased by 50%.]

[Spirit Beast Evolution Stones and Spirit Tool Evolution Stones have been distributed to the System inventory. You can choose the time to evolve your spirit pets or Magic Treasures at your discretion!]

Lin Kuang scanned the surroundings. There were no other wild Spirit Beasts nearby. If he forced an evolution now, it would be too conspicuous.

After all, an increase in cultivation can only be noticed during battle, but evolution is unpredictable—it might even change one's appearance! That would leave no chance for ordinary Cultivators to play!

Moreover, while he could currently use Magic Treasures and Cultivation Techniques to fight across Realms, it was always too superficial. If someone caught an opening, he could still easily die.

He still had to prioritize raising his own cultivation. Since he had a cheat like this, he should just use it himself and preferably not be flashy! It would be over if he were discovered by high-level experts!

[Ding!]

Just as Lin Kuang finished collecting the rewards for Element Master I, the hidden achievement immediately became a public achievement.

Element Master II popped up directly.

This mission also had a special icon on it. It seemed to be another upgrade for the Element Pool!

These rewards were already incredibly Heaven-Defying. If it went further, maybe even Little Five would become a top-tier Heaven-Grade Magic Treasure. The blazing fire sword was even more unimaginable, since the sword spirit Lianyi within it already had a very high base cultivation.

[Element Master II: Master six types of elemental skills, Magic Treasures, Cultivation Techniques, etc. Then use the blazing fire sword to defeat the Amethyst Fire Dragon, use the Five Thunder Vibration Drum to defeat the Thunder Bird, and use the Crystal Turtle to defeat the Deep Sea Flood Dragon.]

[Mission Reward: Choice of one of seven Qiongming Saint-Grade Cultivation Techniques.]

Lin Kuang didn't have much of an impression of the Qiongming Saint-Grade Cultivation Techniques because only one move appeared in the novel—the one Ye Xuanyan taught Yu Xiaotang. It was a Demon Sect skill with immense power, but it was a bit taxing on the body.

Lin Kuang rested his chin on his hand and thought for a moment.

What would the other six skills be? Would their effects be incredibly strong?

Regardless, skills of this level would be a qualitative leap for him!

However, this reward from the System was indeed beyond Lin Kuang's imagination, as these things weren't even written in the novel.

Furthermore, every time such a skill appeared in the world, it would bring about a bloodbath. These skills were barely known even among the great masters of the current age.

Impressive! As expected of the Chosen One's script!

When the time comes, whatever Demon Lord Shao Shenyun, I'll just take her down and make myself the protagonist of the South Sea Dragon Tamer! Everything that little demon did, I'll do once too.

Especially bullying their high-and-mighty Demon Lord across a screen in front of all the demons!

But although this reward was very attractive, he wasn't a local, and he wasn't clear on the levels of these Spirit Beasts yet. What if they were of the Transcendent Realm?

He wouldn't have that sense of achievement of a 'small horse pulling a big cart'; that was the exact feeling he wanted.
