Ray Saint and Su Ping set up the Dragon Rearing Pond spirit land in the Heart of Water, pouring in Water Dragon Blood, countless resources, and a Dragon Ball to unleash a dazzling blue-gold light upon completion. The Rainbow Lucid Butterfly nested safely nearby amid attracted fish deterred by a hidden presence. On West Dragon Lake, Jiao Ji captured and toyed with the Flame Venerable's scattered soul fragment in a tiny fire sprout, then turned toward the Lingxi River to investigate the peculiar human boy.

Deep in the shadowy depths of the water pool.

Night had descended, yet the chill moonlight pierced below the Heart of Water's surface, merging with the pool's faint golden waters to produce a soft radiance.

Still, Su Ping stayed submerged in this water pool.

A sky-blue pearl hovered above him, releasing a soothing glow that shielded Su Ping along with the Rainbow Lucid Butterfly inside the spiritual barrier.

Furthermore, the spiritual barrier now boasted a thin layer of bubbles unlike earlier.

The Ray Saint had added this to reinforce the spiritual barrier guarding the Rainbow Lucid Butterfly.

Inside the Heart of Water, even a peak Monarch pet beast struggled to shatter this spiritual barrier and endanger the Rainbow Lucid Butterfly within, letting the Rainbow Dragon keep evolving safely.

Su Ping shut his eyes, apparently unaware of the Dragon Ball overhead, as though detecting something.

The frigid pool water streamed over his form.

Right now, he had on minimal attire, merely boxers.

Su Ping had never depended on raw physical might, unlike specialized Beastmasters battling beside their pet beasts.

But at present, amid the currents, his sleek muscles stood out sharply, harboring far greater strength than the previous day.

Even more striking was the aura radiating from Su Ping now.

Spiritual power ripples swirled into a tiny vortex encircling him.

Su Ping sat at the heart of that vortex.

These ripples showed spiritual power surges advancing further from days prior.

Commander Seventh Rank!

Put differently, his spiritual power had reached high-rank commander stage, propelling Su Ping into an entirely fresh domain!

His awareness sharpened, spiritual power control grew more precise—lacking a major qualitative leap, yet marking progress along the Beastmaster journey.

This advancement came at remarkable speed.

Beyond routine meditation and Heart of Dreams practice, the key factor was his present immersion.

Su Ping eyed the nearby pool waters, where Dragon Energy slowly faded, though the overhead Dragon Ball ensured replenishment within days.

Indeed, this marked yet another perk of the Spirit Land Dragon Rearing Pond.

It sped up Water Element Pet Beasts' development while offering major aid to Beastmasters too.

And benefits extended beyond spiritual power alone.

Underwater pressure notwithstanding, after a day-and-a-half soak stretching into night, Su Ping sensed marked gains in his body's power and endurance.

Beastmasters seldom engage in close combat, except those with unique gifts—generally speaking.

Still, every spiritual power upgrade subtly elevates physical attributes.

Such gains pale beside spiritual power boosts, however.

Now, post-soak in the Dragon Rearing Pond, Su Ping felt his physique strong enough to fist-slay an Elite Level pet beast.

’Splash.’

To test this, Su Ping performed a set of military boxing moves underwater, a faint smile finally crossing his face.

Rather than exiting the Heart of Water's core right away, Su Ping kept his eyes shut.

His body appeared to drift weightlessly, free from any corporeal awareness.

This otherworldly sensation, sustained over ten-plus hours, showed little fade.

Quite the opposite—post-breakthrough and bodily upgrade, his grasp deepened even more.

The immersion felt like it purged exhaustion from every cell.

Earlier, Su Ping had pondered building a hot spring in the Heart of Myriad Spirits.

Surprisingly, a superior variant presented itself before construction began.

Regrettably, such luxury eluded most people.

Inevitably so, since the Dragon Rearing Pond's core nestled in the Heart of Water's depths, inside the spiritual barrier zone shielding the Rainbow Lucid Butterfly.

That zone spanned under two hundred square meters.

Direct contact with the Rainbow Lucid Butterfly proved possible there.

To avoid disturbing the young butterfly, even Heart of Myriad Spirits staff couldn't enter at will.

That said, future expansions might harness nearby areas for Dragon Rearing Pond-like effects, forging a ’hot spring’ with comparable advantages.

The Heart of Myriad Spirits could launch this as a fresh local initiative.

Naturally, those two hundred square meters formed just the Dragon Rearing Pond's nucleus, covered by the Dragon Ball and Rainbow Lucid Butterfly's influence.

Actually, thanks to the Dragon Ball, Dragon Blood, and plentiful resources, the whole Heart of Water held diluted Dragon Rearing Pond benefits at varying strengths.

Pity that Xiao Qing and Qian Yi missed out on these perks.

The Dragon Rearing Pond's body-tempering proved far superior for pet beasts.
