Chapter 169: Chapter 72: The Evolution Plan of Ghost Ghost (Seeking Investment, Seeking Followers)_2

If Lin Su didn't have the Space Ring, the trickster clown's role would have been somewhat larger, but now that he already had the Space Ring... the trick pockets seemed to have no use anymore.

He hoped that the trickster clown would be stronger. After all, it was Lin Su's persistent choice, and although Mu Yuxing approved of Lin Su's decision, he also wished that this junior, who had such a special attitude towards his pets, would have a bright future.

…

The environment around them quietly dissipated, revealing the figures of Qiuqiu and Snow Trace, who exchanged glances as they landed back on the ground.

"Keh! (／.＼)" (Thank you, big brother!)

Snow Trace scratched his head, looking somewhat embarrassed as he spoke.

The recent battle had gone smoothly. The only surprise had been that it was caught off guard and intimidated by the Monarch Power of Frost Flower Dream Shadow. If it hadn't been for Qiuqiu's timely rescue, it would have likely taken a direct hit from the Frost Silence Storm.

It seemed like he had been the weak link.

Snow Trace scratched his head, his expression becoming increasingly embarrassed.

"Meow! (｡òωó｡)" (It's no big deal!)

Qiuqiu rubbed Snow Trace's head, noticing his distress over not performing well in the battle and quickly began comforting him.

Encouraged by Qiuqiu, Snow Trace's mood improved quickly.

"Meow!" (Let's absorb the Crystal Stones and head to the second level together!)

"Keh! Keh!" (Yes! This time I'll definitely play a bigger role!)

Watching the two pets encourage each other, Lin Su smiled slightly and glanced at the two Dream Crystal Stones floating in the air and the stairs leading upwards, pinching his chin thoughtfully.

This was the first time the two pets had teamed up for battle, and although their coordination wasn't flawless, it was already satisfying for Lin Su. Nevertheless, the battle also revealed some issues.

The most obvious issue was Snow Trace's complete lack of resistance to Monarch Power, which affected its performance whenever it faced Monarch Power.

And there was no good solution to this problem until Snow Trace mastered Monarch Power. Ruler-species always had this disadvantage when facing Monarch-species throughout the long years past.

He couldn't help shaking his head.

It seemed that Snow Trace's evolution needed to be expedited.

Only when it evolved into a mid-level Monarch-species Trick Master would Snow Trace possess Monarch Power and thereby resist the Monarch Power skills of other beast species.

Pressing down on this thought, Lin Su looked at the two pets waiting obediently for him to speak as they eagerly gazed at the Dream Crystal Stones in the air, his face breaking into a wider smile.

"You two did great just now," Lin Su crouched down and gently stroked the heads of the two little fellows, then reached out to take the Dream Crystal Stones from the air and gave one to each pet.

"Qiuqiu will continue training the Frost Silence Storm, and Snow Trace, it's your first time, but don't be scared," Lin Su said with a smile, ignoring Qiuqiu who took the Crystal Stone and expertly placed it on its vertical pupil. He gently adhered the other stone to Snow Trace's forehead, "Next, you'll enter a Dream Space. Once you're there, you can train skills freely without worrying about energy consumption or skill restrictions."

"Keh!" (Training Substitute!)

"Good," Lin Su nodded, "Our temporary goal is to elevate Substitute to tier III."

Seeing that Snow Trace had no other questions, Lin Su gently affixed the Dream Crystal Stone to its forehead.

Under the influence of the Dream Crystal Stone, Snow Trace gradually closed its eyes.

Next instant, it found itself in a gloomy world surrounded by bare rocks.

This world was a bit similar to the Cold Frost Dream Domain of its big brother, but much larger.

Using the Dream Crystal Stone for the first time, Snow Trace was filled with a sense of novelty, even comparing the Cold Frost Dream Domain it had once experienced to the Dream Space before it.

But soon, it realized that this space was permeated with a dark energy so dense it was suffocating, making it feel as if its own energy was infinite and all skills could be used freely without worrying about depletion.

Indeed, just as Lin Su had said.

Collecting its wits, Snow Trace remembered what it was meant to be doing at this time.

It quickly fixed its gaze on a rock positioned just at the limit of its Substitute's range. The black smoke on the surface of its body trembled slightly, and in an instant, it swapped places with the rock.

In the past, after using Substitute, it would have to wait at least ten minutes before it could use it again.

But this time, almost immediately after the last Substitute was expended, Snow Trace felt that it could use it again.

Twice, four times...

The silhouette of the ghost began to flicker rapidly in the dim world until after the tenth substitute finished, the Dream Space slowly dissipated, and it finally returned to reality.

Opening its eyes and meeting the curious gazes of Qiuqiu and Lin Su, the ghost waved its hand.

"Ke! (｡⊙‿⊙｡)" (Dream Crystal Stones are amazing!)

After using it once, the ghost was instantly enamored.

"Mii~" (I told you so~)

Qiuqiu shook its head, a look of 'I knew it' on its face.

In the recent battle, both pets had hardly expended much energy. Once pets reached the elite rank, their normal energy levels greatly increased, and naturally, their ability to recover stamina improved correspondingly. The energy they used to release those few skills just now was quickly restored after a while.

Seeing that both pets were ready to continue challenging the second layer, Lin Su smiled, "Before entering the second layer, let's arrange our tactics."

"The situation in the last fight, you two saw it as well. Although your coordination is very tacit, Ghost isn't suited to directly confront Monarch species at this stage. In the upcoming battle on the second layer, we must divide the battlefield in two as much as possible."

Lin Su paused, "The second layer's Frost Flower Dream Shadow also possesses a tier III Snow Trace, Qiuqiu you take the lead and lure it into the air, as long as the distance is high enough, beyond the range of the Flying Knife Skill, your battle won't be disturbed by the Trickster Clown, and Ghost and the Trickster Clown will fight on the ground."

"Mii!" (Understood!)

Qiuqiu nodded its head, signaling it understood Lin Su's meaning. Ghost, on its side, hung its head slightly, appearing somewhat dejected.

The intelligent creature naturally understood why Lin Su had made such a tactical adjustment, and it immediately felt disheartened at the thought of holding the others back.

Suddenly, a warm hand rested on its head, and it looked up to meet Lin Su's encouraging gaze.

"It's okay, since we've already formed a contract, it's time to schedule your evolution," Lin Su encouraged, "Once your evolution is complete, you won't have to worry about the influence of Monarch Power."

Ghost's physical condition had become incredibly powerful with the help of those dark-type resources, and with Lin Su, who had a lot of Blue Star contribution points, there was no need to worry about evolution resources either. As for evolutionary skills, because Ghost wouldn't gain new attributes during its transformation into a Master of Tricks, it would be able to learn a skill of the same system in a short time.

Now, it was ready to evolve at any time.

Before, Lin Su hadn't formed a contract with Ghost, and if Ghost evolved, it might have advanced to the Commander tier due to being unable to suppress its power, reaching a level Lin Su couldn't contract.

But this issue no longer existed with the completion of the contract.

After the contract, pets can suppress their own power with the help of their Beast Tamers, so Ghost doesn't need to worry about surpassing the load of Lin Su's Beast Taming Space with its evolution now.

"Ke? Ke?!" (Really? When?!)

Ghost's spirit was immediately lifted.

Evolution!

It knew exactly what its future evolution type would be.

A mid-tier Monarch species, Master of Tricks!

By then, it would definitely become stronger and reduce the gap between itself and Big Brother!

"Well," Lin Su smiled, "first improve Substitute to tier III, and then your evolution resources will be a reward for upgrading Substitute to tier III, after which we can start preparing for the evolution."

Qiuqiu, who had already gone through this process, immediately exhibited an expression of watching a good show and looked at the junior who hadn't evolved yet with an amused gaze.

All of this, I, your big brother, have experienced before.

Hum hum hum, now it's your turn, little brother!

"Ke!" (Okay!)

Ghost's enthusiasm was ignited.

Charge, charge, charge!

For the sake of becoming stronger, for the sake of evolution!

"Let's go, it's time to head to the second layer."

Seeing that Ghost's dejected demeanor had completely vanished under his encouragement and the stimulation of evolution, regaining its fighting spirit and vigor, Lin Su quietly breathed a sigh of relief and led the two pets up the stairs toward the second layer.
