[Delayed Extra Update 1/2]
Blue Star, Pacific Ocean, Weimiao Marine Beast Zone.
With Yingying’s spatial abilities, the journey from the Mo Soil District research center to this location occurred in the blink of an eye.
Lindo quickly explained his purpose and was escorted by the local marine beasts into a grand, ornate palace.
This was the residence of Wei Miao, the ruler of the Weimiao Marine Beast Zone, where Shen Yunshan and Qin Yunzhang were currently staying.
As he entered, Lin Su spotted Qin Yunzhang walking out to meet him after hearing the news.
“Grandpa Qin.” Lin Su offered a greeting before asking with urgency, “About that second Water Spirit you mentioned during our call…”
“You certainly didn’t waste any time,” Qin Yunzhang remarked, unable to hide his surprise.
The phone call had ended barely two minutes ago, yet the boy was already standing before him.
He reflected on how incredibly useful it was to be a Beast Tamer with a spatial-type pet beast.
With that thought, his eyes drifted toward Yingying, who stood behind Lin Su.
Suddenly, Qin Yunzhang froze.
Something felt different.
This baseline energy signature…
Emperor Level?!
His eyes snapped wide as he frantically scanned the other pet beasts flanking Lin Su.
Emperor Level…
Emperor Level…
Every single one was Emperor Level!
The realization hit Qin Yunzhang like a physical blow.
He blurted out, “Have you ascended to tier eight?”
“I have. It was a lucky breakthrough,” Lin Su confirmed with a nod, though his focus quickly shifted back. “Grandpa Qin, regarding the Water Spirit…”
“Lucky breakthrough, indeed,” Qin Yunzhang grumbled internally. Seeing how anxious Lin Su was, he shoved aside his bewilderment and gestured for him to follow. “Follow me.”
Moments later, Lin Su and his five companions were led by Qin Yunzhang into a side hall that Wei Miao had set aside specifically for the dormant Water Spirit.
The moment he stepped inside, Lin Su’s attention was seized by a water-blue glow floating in the air.
He hurried toward it, his eyes tracing every curve of the tiny form curled within the water.
An overwhelming sense of recognition flooded Lin Su’s mind.
It was like a memory from a past life reincarnation; even if the physical form changed, he would always know his own pet beast.
Staring at the water-blue light, Lin Su’s suspicions were confirmed.
This was Lanlan.
There was no way it could be anyone else.
“Meow! (｡òωó｡)” (That’s the one from my vision!)
Qiuqiu chirped excitedly, adding its own confirmation.
The glowing blue entity it had seen in its most recent prophecy was identical to the one floating here.
Now that they were face-to-face with it, a deep bond of familiarity resonated within the cat’s heart.
The other four companions felt the same pull in their souls.
In that instant, the entire team recognized the friend they had shared a decade with during their past life reincarnation.
“Ahem.”
A soft cough from behind caused Lin Su to blink and snap out of his trance.
Shen Yunshan was staring at Lin Su’s team with a baffled expression. “You… you’ve truly reached the epic level?”
He had been stunned by Lin Su’s performance in the team competition just yesterday, but today’s breakthrough speed left him speechless.
How was this possible in such a short time?
Moving from tier seven to tier eight was a massive obstacle for any Cultivation journey.
Back in his prime, that transition had cost him more than ten years of hard work.
Yet Lin Su…
Shen Yunshan felt his head spin.
He decided it was best not to dwell on it further.
Nearby, Wei Miao also wore a complicated expression.
While shocked by the speed of the boy’s growth, the lord felt a sense of relief regarding the decision made yesterday.
If Lin Su had reached tier eight, he would have an open contract slot available…
Suddenly, Wei Miao paused.
The lord looked at Tata, who was cradled in Lin Su’s arms and radiating an unmistakable Emperor Level aura, and began to worry.
“Did you use your tier eight slot to contract this pet beast?” Wei Miao asked, unable to keep the concern out of its voice.
If that were the case, Lin Su wouldn’t have any room left for the Water Spirit.
“No, I contracted Tata while I was still at tier seven.” Sensing the misunderstanding, Lin Su clarified, “Yingying and Yingying share a single contract space, so I still have one vacancy.”
A shared contract space?
Wei Miao had never encountered such a phenomenon, but there was no time to investigate that mystery now.
Relieved that Lin Su still had an open slot, the lord smiled. “Special Researcher Qin likely explained our intentions over the phone.”
“What do you think?”
“I’m fully committed to helping!” Lin Su replied instantly.
He didn’t understand the mechanics of how Lanlan had manifested in this world.
However, bringing Lanlan into reality was a vow he had made long ago during their past life reincarnation.
He wouldn't let this chance slip away.
Lin Su looked at Lanlan once more before turning to Qin Yunzhang. “Grandpa Qin, what is the plan?”
“Nothing is set in stone yet.” Qin Yunzhang gave a helpless shrug. “That is precisely why we require your help with the research.”
“Currently, this Water Spirit is in a state where it cannot be contracted. My goal is to find a way for you to form a bond with it, using the vitality of your Beast Taming Space to bring it back to consciousness.”
So that was the strategy?
Remembering the details of Qiuqiu’s prophecy, Lin Su felt a spark of inspiration. “Grandpa Qin, besides that approach, have you considered other options?”
“There are two alternatives.” Since Lin Su was now a Special Level Researcher and an active member of the project, Qin Yunzhang was transparent with him. “The first involves gathering the power of belief from the various marine beasts inhabiting Blue Star’s oceans to wake it.”
