137: King of Rolls, Internet Addict Girl, Top Student

Life Energy and the fresh scent of grass and wood intertwined, forming a visible mist that swirled around Xiao Lan.

Bai Ye maintained the operation of the Nurturing Domain, and the solar energy reserves within his body began to deplete at roughly ten times the rate required for normal Domain maintenance.

On the sofa, Xiao Hei, who was immersed in the game world while holding a phone, looked up.

The dazzling light emanating from Xiao Lan reflected in her eyes, making it impossible for her to keep them open.

In that brief moment, the words "Victory/Defeat Decided" appeared on the phone screen.

But the failure of a mere game was nothing compared to Xiao Lan's Breakthrough.

The energy crystal condensing in the flower stamen rapidly expanded from the size of a grain of rice until it was as large as a thumbnail.

[Your Ghost Orchid has absorbed massive energy, and its Rank is starting to increase!]

Xiao Lan's roots churned in the soil of the flowerpot.

The soil, which Bai Ye had improved using Elite Rank humus, dried up at a visible rate.

All nutrients were completely squeezed out by Xiao Lan.

Bai Ye proactively injected the solar energy within his body into the Domain.

Raising the energy concentration of the Domain once again.

The purple crystal in the flower stamen stopped expanding and began to collapse inward instead.

The energy fluctuations in the room gradually subsided.

The next moment, a crisp cracking sound emerged from inside the crystal.

[Transcendence High-rank]

[Your Ghost Orchid (Xiao Lan) has successfully achieved a Breakthrough]

[Name]: Ghost Orchid

[attribute]: Grass

[Aptitude]: Outstanding High-rank

[Rank]: Transcendence High-rank

[Skills]: Fragrant Pollen (beginner) (Perfected), Dust Explosion (mid-rank) (mastery), Night Demon Strike (Advanced) (mastery), Vine Whip (mid-rank) (peak perfection), Mudrock Giant (Advanced) (Self-Created Skill), Frost Vine (Advanced) (beginner)

[Talent]: Photosynthesis (Blue)

Huh?!

The Talent actually improved without evolving?

Normally, the amount of Heaven And Earth Treasure required to upgrade a Talent is not small.

Although the jump from Green to Blue is not huge, it is enough to make a group of Fourth-Tier Beast Tamers lose all their hair trying to achieve it.

The fact that Xiao Lan could struggle to survive alone in the Secret Realm Forest truly made her far superior to others of her species in various aspects.

[Skill: Frost Vine Whip (Advanced)]

[Skill Description: A Skill spontaneously comprehended during the battle with the Azure Sea Flood Dragon by absorbing some Ice attribute energy and combining it with its own characteristics.]

[Can produce vines containing extreme cold Qi, dealing damage to the enemy and applying a freezing slow effect.]

"A spontaneously comprehended Skill, and an Advanced one at that..."

Bai Ye looked at the description of the new Skill, once again marveling at Xiao Lan's terrifying comprehension ability.

She never misses an opportunity to become stronger, and can even draw inspiration from an opponent's Skills to create her own Moves.

If this were in some Xuanhuan novel, he could confidently say that his pet Xiao Lan possessed the Demeanor of a Great Emperor.

After the Breakthrough was complete, the strange phenomenon in the room slowly dissipated.

Xiao Hei also turned her head back and continued to focus on playing the game.

"This is really great. We won't need to turn on the air conditioning in the summer anymore."

Bai Ye gently stroked its cool, smooth petals with his fingertip.

This truly develops the Vine Whip Skill to its extreme. Will variants like Flame Vine Whip or Thunder Vine Whip appear in the future?

Xiao Lan's petals gently swayed, conveying feelings of joy.

Of course, it was happy to become stronger, but it wasn't truly satisfied.

The Frost Vine Whip Skill was indeed powerful, but it wasn't what it truly wanted.

It wanted a Skill that could cooperate with Photosynthesis to accelerate its self-recovery.

Its current Rank was still too low, making Advanced Skills difficult to maintain for long periods. It didn't want to enter a cooling-down period every time it fought.

Through Telepathy, Bai Ye captured Xiao Lan's thoughts.

"Take your time. You've already done very well."

"Just like your Mudrock Giant is already impressive, given more time, you will definitely be able to develop even stronger Skills."

And teach him a thing or two while you're at it.

Receiving affirmation from her Beast Tamer, Xiao Lan's mood lifted slightly.

She rubbed Bai Ye's finger with a Vine Whip, sending a clear thought to him:

Continue!

It wanted to continue to Cultivate in the Nurturing Domain and grind harder than all the other beasts!

Bai Ye didn't know whether to laugh or cry, and once again arranged Domain Cultivation for Xiao Lan.

Xiao Hei picked up her exclusive phone, her tiny fleshy paws frantically tapping the screen.

She was playing a fighting game called "Water Light Warrior."

The gameplay was similar to a certain Ninja mobile game.

Two small figures exchanged blows on the screen, with Skill effects flying everywhere.

Unfortunately, the paw structure of a feline was truly unsuitable for playing these combo-based games that required fine motor control.

As soon as Xiao Hei's character released a Skill, the opponent grabbed her character and subjected it to a fierce pounding.

Her character was suspended in mid-air the entire time, resulting in a three-in-one defeat.

"Meow! Meow meow meow!"

Xiao Hei angrily slapped the screen with her paw, letting out a dissatisfied Crying Sound.

She looked up at Xiao Lan, whose Vine Whips were flexibly stretching out, several of them radiating cold Qi.

A hint of envy appeared in Xiao Hei's cat eyes.

If only she had Vine Whips too, then she could perform rapid ten-finger taps—no, ten-whip taps—to unleash the strongest combos.

She wouldn't lose so miserably in ranked matches.

Now she didn't even dare to play team-based games, afraid that her own poor control would lead to the collapse of the entire game.

Plus, she was a cat; she couldn't possibly communicate with her teammates.

How about... trying to learn a few tricks from Big Sister Xiao Lan and see if she could comprehend a Move similar to Vine Whip.

Her Beast Tamer had told her before that the Dreamlike System was an attribute full of imagination.

Her Talent allowed her to temporarily possess other attributes; maybe she could use Vine Whips after all.

She didn't need to produce dozens of Vine Whips at once like Senior Xiao Lan; being able to simulate human hand control would be enough.

While Xiao Hei was fantasizing, Phantom Snow squinted and gave her a faint side-eye.

This silly older sister clearly possessed such a powerful Bloodline, yet she was obsessed with these boring human games all day long.

What a waste of Talent.

Her own Aptitude was clearly the highest, yet she was falling behind in Cultivation speed.

Who exactly had the King-level Aptitude?

How could this be acceptable?

Phantom Snow felt a little indignant, stretched out her paw, and vigorously scratched the soft sofa, leaving behind a few shallow claw marks.

No, later she must ask the keeper to accompany her for extra practice.

An Ultimate Grinding King, an Internet Addict Girl, and a Top Student who refused to fall behind.

Bai Ye looked at his team composition and felt that it was quite marvelous.

Just then, the phone in his pocket vibrated.

It was a notification sent by the Tiangong Kaiwu Club.

[Dear customer, the body modification of your mechanical beast pet has been completed. You may come and collect it at any time.]

Three days have passed. It is time to welcome the infinite back.

Bai Ye glanced at the sky outside the window, which was already bright.

"Let's go, we're going to pick up the infinite."
