"Hot, hot, so hot." Iron Bull swung his arm, and this punch was the best proof, as only at the Junior Knight stage could one feel the accompanying elemental attack when using punches. Just now, Liu Guanfeng had utilized the only separable fire element in that punch, which was why Iron Bull felt the heat. If it were a higher-level Junior Knight, that punch could have scorched Iron Bull's arm.
Seeing the punch infused with attributes, Bao Rui and the others truly believed that Liu Guanfeng had already become a Junior Knight.
Liu Guanfeng smiled at the three of them who were stunned in place. "Alright, you should head back now. I still need to cultivate. Remember to keep everything I told you today a secret; do not mention it to anyone."
"We understand, Third Brother. We'll go back and get some sleep now." After saying that, Bao Rui led the Copper Bull Brothers out of the room and returned to their own quarters to rest.
Liu Guanfeng glanced at xp, who was sprawled by the bed, and once again activated the Spirit Gathering Array, sitting cross-legged. He began practicing the separation of the second element. Although it seemed simple, controlling it was not easy. However, having successfully separated the first element made the second one relatively easier.
But just as Liu Guanfeng was in the midst of separation, he suddenly noticed a sharp decline in the surrounding elemental concentration. Liu Guanfeng immediately ceased his practice and opened his eyes. Usually, no matter how he cultivated, it wouldn't cause a decrease in elemental concentration; today’s drop was too obvious. Liu Guanfeng quickly focused his gaze on xp, as it was the only one capable of cultivating within this Spirit Gathering Array.
When Liu Guanfeng saw xp, he was genuinely startled. He noticed that xp's white fur stood up like needles, and around xp formed visible white orbs of light that enveloped its entire body.
"xp, can you hear me?" Liu Guanfeng asked anxiously.
"Yes, Master, I can hear you." The voice of xp echoed in Liu Guanfeng's mind again; from its tone, it seemed xp was not uncomfortable at all.
"What happened to you?" Liu Guanfeng continued to inquire.
"I'm fine, Master. I feel very good all over; if I’m not mistaken, I should be about to advance."
"Alright then, I won't disturb you; focus on your advancement." Liu Guanfeng felt extremely happy; who wouldn't want their mount to be powerful? How many people spend their whole lives searching for a Sixth Tier magical beast as a mount? Yet he casually acquired a little dog that turned out to be Sixth Tier and was about to reach Seventh Tier. Liu Guanfeng watched xp excitedly, eager to see how it would advance.
He saw that the white orbs surrounding xp grew larger and larger, absorbing all elements within the Spirit Gathering Array around them. In other areas, Liu Guanfeng could hardly sense any elemental presence at all.
Moreover, the elements flowing in from the outside directly entered the white light sphere. When the light sphere grew to the size of a bathtub, it stopped expanding. Since the white light sphere did not completely block the line of sight, Liu Guanfeng was still able to observe XP inside the sphere.
He saw that the energy absorbed from the outside transformed into white threads that entered XP's body through its standing fur. XP remained on the ground without any movement, continuously absorbing elements for over an hour.
Suddenly, XP stood up from the ground, its claws gripping tightly onto the surface, trembling all over. At that moment, it seemed that another tail had sprouted beside XP's original tail. The new tail was initially only the size of a pinky finger but grew larger until it matched the size of the original tail and then thickened. The white light sphere surrounding XP gradually became transparent.
When the last trace of element entered XP's body, it finally opened its eyes. At this point, XP appeared significantly larger, now about one and a half times its previous size. Additionally, there were two tails swaying on either side.
XP looked back at its tails and then leaped onto Liu Guanfeng. "Master, I really advanced! XP is now a Seventh Tier magical beast!" The excitement in XP's message was evident.
"Congratulations, XP! You advanced after just a year here with me. If you keep this up for a few more years, won't you become a divine beast?"
"Not so easy, Master. Don't be fooled by my small size; I'm almost a hundred years old now. If I were like others of my kind, I would have grown up long ago. It's just that my cultivation speed is much slower than theirs."
"If things go wrong, I could easily fall into madness, which is why I haven't advanced until now. I've been cultivating diligently for nearly a hundred years and spent almost a year by your side before finding an opportunity to advance."
"Haha, I didn't realize you were already a hundred years old. Well, you're doing quite well now; you've grown quite a bit and have some guard dog vibes."
"Master, I'm not just any dumb dog that guards doors; I'm the king among Hellhounds!" XP said indignantly.
"Hehe, you really took that seriously! How could I bear to let you guard doors? You're my mount and my companion; you must accompany me throughout my life."
"Don't worry, Master! If anyone tries to harm you, just watch how I bite off their head!"
"By the way, XP, do you have any new abilities after your advancement?" Liu Guanfeng asked.
"It seems like I have a new skill," XP replied after thinking for a moment.
"What skill is that? What does it do?"
"My skill is called Fear. When fighting against other magical beasts, I can use fear to make my opponent surrender without a fight. It can be effective against magical beasts that are one rank higher than me, which means my current Fear has a certain chance of making Eighth Rank magical beasts surrender.
As for magical beasts lower than me, the success rate is eighty percent; for those of the same rank, it's fifty percent; and for Eighth Rank magical beasts, the success rate is thirty percent," XP said proudly.
"This skill is quite good, especially since you will be participating in the Campus Competition. Many magical beasts can be scared away without needing to fight them. Moreover, if we encounter Eighth Rank magical beasts, it might be hard for us to escape. If this skill works, we could save ourselves; it's also a life-saving skill."
Looking at XP happily spinning around in front of me brought an indescribable joy to my heart.
"XP, I heard from the teacher that if you want to evolve your Mount, you need to feed it Cores. Do you need to eat five different Cores at the same time? The teacher also mentioned that you need to consume some rare Treasures. Do you know what rare Treasures you can eat to advance?" Liu Guanfeng looked down at XP.
XP shook his head. "Master XP cannot eat Cores. Each Core contains different energy, and it's impossible to find five Cores with the same energy type. If the energy difference among these five Cores is too great, it would actually be harmful to me. The same goes for rare Treasures; they contain immense energy and are all attribute-based.
So if XP wants to advance, it can only happen within Master’s Spirit Gathering Array. I feel that my path to advancement won't be very difficult; the energy I absorb in the Spirit Gathering Array is much faster than other magical beasts. Other magical beasts need to find their required elements from five types when absorbing energy.
But XP doesn't need that in the Spirit Gathering Array because I absorb all five types simultaneously, which greatly increases my speed and efficiency compared to them. This might also be the Supreme Deity's care for me as a Five Elements Balance attribute magical beast."
Liu Guanfeng nodded. "Alright, if there's a chance, I'll ask my master to create a larger Spirit Gathering Array for both of us."
XP looked at Liu Guanfeng and wagged his tail vigorously. "Thank you, Master."
The sky outside had brightened, and as Liu Guanfeng and XP walked out of the room, they noticed that today's air seemed particularly fresh. After stretching lazily, they began their morning exercises together. A few minutes later, Bao Rui and the others also came out of their rooms.
Bao Rui was the first to notice XP's changes, and then he, Copper Bull, and Iron Bull gathered around XP, looking at him from all sides. Iron Bull even reached out to touch XP's newly grown second tail, curious whether it was real or fake.
While everyone was gathered around XP observing him, Dai also walked out of his room. The first thing he saw was everyone surrounding XP. Little Guy took a few steps over to XP's side, and Liu Guanfeng picked up Dai and placed him on top of XP.
At this time, Dai was still young, and due to inadequate nutrition earlier, he was quite small and thin. After XP advanced, it had grown significantly, making it just right for Dai to sit on.
Liu Guanfeng placed Dai on XP's back and told him to hold on tight. Dai gripped the fur on XP's back firmly. Liu Guanfeng then commanded XP to run a lap. As XP started running, Dai was not scared at all; instead, he was particularly excited. After running a lap, Liu Guanfeng lifted Dai down, and with a face full of excitement, Dai said:
"Brother, I want to become a knight when I grow up. I also want a mount like XP!"
Liu Guanfeng looked down at Dai and nodded:
"As long as you work hard, you will definitely become an amazing knight."
"Yes, brother, I will work hard," Dai Yi replied while stroking XP's snowy white fur. XP also enjoyed rubbing against him.
After that, Liu Guanfeng and his group of five began their morning training, followed by four magical beasts. Although Dai was very young, he never slacked off during training and kept running diligently.
After the morning practice, Liu Guanfeng took XP to have breakfast. When their parents saw XP's appearance, they were once again astonished and surrounded XP for a long time. Liu Guanfeng explained to his father that XP had advanced but kept the news about the Spirit Gathering Array to himself.
His father, Liu Yong'an, kept saying, "You kid have good luck; it has only been a few days since you brought it back and it has already advanced. Not bad! What tier is your little dog now? I remember last time it defeated a Fifth Tier magical beast."
Liu Guanfeng nodded and said, "Yes, now XP is a Sixth-Grade Beast." He didn't mention that it was a Seventh Tier because Seventh Tier beasts were too intimidating. Although there was only one tier difference, a Seventh-Stage Beast meant that once he became an Advanced Knight, he wouldn't need to change mounts anymore. A Sixth Tier beast would still be considered an Intermediate Knight's mount, but even so, it was already quite impressive.
His father smiled broadly as he patted XP's head, unable to contain his joy.
