“Ding! Spiritual Pet Blood Phantom successfully eliminated a Skeleton Soldier (2/20).”
“Ding! Spiritual Pet Blood Phantom successfully eliminated a Skeleton Soldier (3/20).”
…
After eliminating a total of six Skeleton Soldiers, Ye Ling’s task was nearly one-third complete.
Having tasted success, it was only natural to strike while the iron was hot.
However, for his own safety, Ye Ling did not venture deeper.
He could completely clear the outer Skeleton Soldiers first, complete the task, and thereby level up Blood Phantom.
There was no need to take unnecessary risks.
At least, until Blood Phantom grew strong enough, Ye Ling needed to take things slowly.
Thus, the following time turned into a pleasant Skeleton Soldier clearing activity.
Walking along the outskirts, he occasionally encountered a group of Skeleton Soldiers, sometimes even two groups.
But without exception, all of them were easily dealt with by Blood Phantom.
In less than half an hour, Ye Ling had already completed the system task.
“Ding! First battle completed, successfully killed twenty Skeleton Soldiers, rewarding Spiritual Pet Blood Phantom with fifty percent of the current experience progress.”
Eliminating twenty Skeleton Soldiers brought ten percent experience progress, and completing the task added another fifty percent.
In other words, he now had sixty percent progress.
If there were no more tasks, he would only need to kill eighty more Skeleton Soldiers for Blood Phantom to level up again.
This leveling speed was like riding a rocket, soaring rapidly.
Moreover, the most important discovery Ye Ling made was…
Blood Phantom had no stamina limit.
Even after several battles, Ye Ling hadn’t seen Blood Phantom show any signs of fatigue or stamina depletion.
“Could it be… because she’s a zombie?”
Thinking back, Ye Ling remembered what he had learned in his previous life.
Zombies were special beings that were ageless, immortal, and unable to reincarnate.
Not only that, zombies possessed infinite energy, capable of tirelessly performing any task.
When he chose the Super Regeneration talent, Ye Ling clearly remembered that it required stamina to heal injuries.
But if a zombie’s stamina was infinite, wasn’t this a bug?
The system provided no answer to this question.
Regardless, for now, this understanding would suffice.
If Super Regeneration’s stamina consumption didn’t affect Blood Phantom, it was a terrifying buff.
He spent another one or two hours searching for Skeleton Soldiers on the outskirts.
Finally, after eliminating another wave of Skeleton Soldiers, Blood Phantom reached the experience threshold.
“Ding! Congratulations to the host’s Spiritual Pet, Blood Phantom, for successfully reaching First Rank, Third Level. Reward: Free Point x1.”
Unexpectedly, leveling up once came with a pleasant surprise, rewarding a Free Point.
For Ye Ling’s Spiritual Pet, Free Points could enhance its talents and skills.
Moreover, Free Points could also be used to improve the spiritual techniques Ye Ling mastered.
Thus, Free Points were extremely precious, and it was fortunate to gain one upon leveling up.
Currently, spiritual techniques weren’t very useful to Ye Ling.
Mainly because his Spiritual Power Points were too low. Even with Blood Phantom reaching First Rank, Third Level, and Ye Ling also reaching First Rank, Third Level, his Spiritual Power Points only increased to three hundred.
But for the consumption of spiritual techniques, it was still insufficient.
To face stronger enemies and allow Blood Phantom to level up faster, Ye Ling decided to allocate the Free Point to Blood Phantom.
The only place to allocate points now was in the talent section, specifically Magic Damage Reduction (Low-Level).
No other skills or talents had appeared yet, perhaps requiring Blood Phantom to reach a higher level.
Without hesitation, Ye Ling allocated his only Free Point to Blood Phantom’s Magic Damage Reduction (Low-Level).
With this talent, Blood Phantom would have slight resistance even against magical attacks.
With Blood Phantom leveling up, Ye Ling felt confident to explore deeper.
Skeleton Soldiers were manageable, merely swinging bone knives without any intelligence.
Going deeper, higher-level demons possessed higher intelligence.
Once their intelligence reached a certain level, demons could set traps and command lower-level demons to ambush.
While Skeleton Soldiers provided experience, it was clear that hunting higher-level demons would yield more experience.
What Ye Ling needed now was experience.
The faster Blood Phantom leveled up, the quicker his own strength would grow.
This would give him more confidence for the Academy admissions in a few days.
“Let’s go, Blood Phantom, deeper inside.”
Ye Ling called out to Blood Phantom and started walking inward.
As a Spiritual Pet, Blood Phantom completely followed Ye Ling’s lead.
