Chapter 16 – Sense of urgency


Ye Ling quickly realized that the system wouldn’t issue useless rewards.

Perhaps these special outfits for spiritual pets would be of some use to Blood Phantom.

“Ding! New mission released: Bone Slash. Eliminate 100 Skeleton Sergeants (Current: 0/100). Completing the mission will directly raise your spiritual pet’s level by one.”

Before Ye Ling could fully process this, the system issued another new mission.

This time, there were two missions at once.

And the reward for the second mission was equally impressive.

It could directly raise a level, but the difficulty was slightly higher.

Eliminating a hundred Skeleton Sergeants was no small feat compared to the common Skeleton Soldiers.

In the Bone Burial Mound, Skeleton Sergeants were less common than the ubiquitous Skeleton Soldiers.

In the current area, the number of Skeleton Sergeants wasn’t that high.

However, a hundred Skeleton Sergeants was manageable with some effort.

Once Blood Phantom’s level increased, future battles would become easier.

Just now, when Blood Phantom took down a Skeleton Sergeant, her experience points increased by one percent.

Compared to Skeleton Soldiers, Skeleton Sergeants obviously provided more experience points.

Pressure breeds motivation, and Ye Ling was eager for more tasks.

Meanwhile, a large group of skeletons was already closing in on Blood Phantom.

Leading the charge were the two remaining Skeleton Sergeants, followed closely by the Skeleton Soldiers.

Blood Phantom’s expression remained unchanged.

“Blood Phantom, Blood Fury!”

Facing so many skeletons, Ye Ling didn’t dare to be careless.

He immediately ordered Blood Phantom to activate her Blood Fury skill.

Without hesitation, Blood Phantom activated her Blood Fury.

Before their eyes, Blood Phantom’s originally pale skin gradually turned red.

It looked as if the blood in her body was boiling.

And indeed, the zombie blood in Blood Phantom’s body was boiling.

With Blood Fury activated, Blood Phantom would gradually suffer self-inflicted damage, continuously increasing her speed and strength.

A faint blood aura even began to emanate around Blood Phantom.

Huo Xian’er, who had been observing, was taken aback.

If Blood Phantom’s swift takedown of a Skeleton Sergeant earlier had already shocked Huo Xian’er, the sudden surge in her aura now made her feel an inexplicable pressure.

This feeling shouldn’t have appeared on her.

Of course, it wasn’t that Huo Xian’er’s Earth Azure Dragon was inferior to Blood Phantom, but the pressure came from Ye Ling.

Everyone knew that zombie spiritual pets were considered waste, destined for no great achievements.

But now, Ye Ling had defied this rule.

Although it was unclear if Ye Ling’s zombie was mutated, it was undoubtedly a zombie.

As a prodigy, Huo Xian’er felt a significant increase in pressure.

Although Ye Ling’s special zombie spiritual pet might not yet rival the Earth Azure Dragon, its growth rate was terrifying.

Given more time, it might even surpass the Earth Azure Dragon.

Huo Xian’er couldn’t afford any slack. After this, she planned to spend the next few days training hard.

She had to find a way to elevate the Earth Azure Dragon further.

Only then would her chances of entering the top Spirit Tamer Academy increase.

The Academy’s admissions were open to the entire Federation, with limited slots for each city.

Naturally, the highest scores were taken first.

While Huo Xian’er was confident in her assessment, she didn’t want to rank lower.

She aimed to secure the top spot, which would be most advantageous.

Back on the battlefield, Blood Phantom, now emitting a blood aura, not only had reddened skin but also a faint red glow in her eyes.

“Swish!”

Blood Phantom charged forward.

In this situation, waiting for the enemy to surround them was not an option.

The best strategy was to break through their formation by taking down one of the Skeleton Sergeants first.

This would make dealing with the remaining skeletons much easier.

Ye Ling stood on the Bone Burial Mound, ready to issue commands to Blood Phantom and waiting for the right moment to assist her.

Moreover, Spirit Tamers could not only control their spiritual pets but also use spiritual techniques.

Spiritual techniques could aid in defense, escape, and attack during battles.

Using spiritual techniques unexpectedly in combat could even turn the tide of a losing battle.

Especially when coordinating with a spiritual pet, they had remarkable effects.

However, using spiritual techniques consumed a significant amount of Spiritual Power Points.

And Spiritual Power Points couldn’t be restored by any means other than natural recovery.

Of course, there were rare and precious treasures that could increase one’s Spiritual Power Points reserve.

But such items were extremely rare and valuable.

Usually, they were in the hands of the wealthy and powerful, leaving common people with little chance.

After a brief mental communication with Blood Phantom, Ye Ling focused intently on the leading Skeleton Sergeant and decisively activated one of his spiritual techniques.

“Spiritual Power Chains!”
