Chapter 22: Resonance! Level Nine Martial Apprentice!
Time was passing bit by bit.
Lin Bei had never experienced how long a second was.
The intense pain made it feel like time slowed down. Even though he knew that his life would not be in any danger, he could not help but want to give up.
However, Lin Bei extinguished this thought the moment it appeared.
Give up?!
He had already persisted for so long. If he gave up, wouldn't his previous efforts be in vain?!
With this thought in mind, Lin Bei persisted for another ten minutes.
Fortunately, after ten minutes, the pain began to gradually disappear.
Instead, a warm current rose from his lower abdomen and flowed throughout his body, as if it was healing his body.
"Phew!"
After another five minutes, Lin Bei heaved a sigh of relief. His entire body felt much more relaxed.
However, an unpleasant smell wafted into his nose.
This made Lin Bei frown.
He sniffed himself. Sure enough, the smell had came from him.
He looked at his arm. There was a layer of filth visible to the naked eye on it. This was the impurity expelled from his body by the Marrow Cleansing Pill.
If he did not expel these things from his body, Lin Bei's cultivation speed would definitely be greatly affected.
He stood up and planned to take off his clothes and take a good shower in the bathroom.
At the very least, he had to get rid of all the dirt on his body.
However, at this moment, Lin Bei realized that Whitey had been guarding him for some time. It seemed like it had been here for a while.
If nothing went wrong, it must have sensed that Lin Bei was in danger, so it hurriedly ran to his side to protect him.
Thinking of this, Lin Bei's heart warmed.
Just as he was about to carry Whitey to the shower together, he suddenly remembered the scene this morning.
Forget it, forget it.
'I'd better wash by myself.'
After all, Whitey could already transform. Who knew when it would transform into that little girl?
What if Whitey accidentally transformed during the shower?
That scene was unimaginable.
After taking a shower and washing off the dirt on his body, Lin Bei wrapped a towel around himself and walked out of the bathroom.
The refreshing feeling made him feel good.
However, at this moment, a figure suddenly jumped up from the sofa and pounced on Lin Bei.
Feeling the fragrance and softness in his arms, looking at the white and pink cat ears on the other party's head and feeling the softness in his chest, Lin Bei immediately recognized that this was the transformed Whitey!
What was even more embarrassing was that he was only wrapped in a towel. Whitey, who had turned into a girl, was hanging on Lin Bei's body like a sloth.
"Whitey, stop fooling around. Come down first."
"Meow!"
However, just as Lin Bei was trying to dissuade Whitey from leaving his body…
The system notification sounded inexplicably.
[Ding! Detected that the host has entered the cultivation stage. The first resonance with the contract beast is about to begin!]
Resonance?!
'What does that mean?'
Before Lin Bei could react, the surface of Whitey's body suddenly emitted a weak light. This light gradually rose from the surface of its body and turned into a ball of light floating in the air.
In the next second, the ball of light entered Lin Bei's body like a small snake.
An inexplicable sense of power rose from Lin Bei's body. He instantly felt that his body was filled with strength.
[Ding! The first resonance has ended. Congratulations to the host for raising your realm to Level 9 Martial Apprentice. Your contract beast realm has increased to Level 7 Wild Beast!]
[Ding! Detected that Whitey's level has increased to Level 6. Reward experience +400]
[Ding! Detected that Whitey's level has increased to Level 7. Reward experience +400]
…
!!!
As soon as the system's voice fell, Lin Bei's brain could not react for a moment.
What was going on?!
He had clearly just taken the Marrow Cleansing Pill to remove the impurities in his body and relied on the low-grade Spirit Stone to enhance his body with a little spiritual energy.
Now, he had actually directly advanced to a Level 9 Martial Apprentice!
He was only one step away from becoming a Martial Master!
This was too f*cking ridiculous!
Not only that, but even Whitey's realm also soared from a Level 5 wild beast to a Level 7 wild beast in one go like a roller coaster!
This speed was really too ridiculous.
Moreover, what did the 'Resonance' mentioned by the system mean?
What was the condition to activate this resonance?
The confused Lin Bei had no choice but to ask the system again.
"System, what did the resonance just now mean?"
"How do I activate the resonance? What are the conditions and rewards?"
A few questions were thrown out.
After about two seconds, the system gave Lin Bei's answer.
[Responding to the host, resonance refers to the resonance reaction between the spirit energy in the host and the contract beast. After resonance, the host and the contract beast will obtain a huge increase.]
[The condition for resonance is that after the host starts cultivating, the contract beast can resonate every time it breaks through a major realm.]
After hearing this explanation, Lin Bei nodded thoughtfully.
It seemed that it was similar to what he had imagined. However, he did not expect that he could actually resonate with each major realm.
In other words, after Whitey broke through to the wild beast realm, wouldn't it be able to resonate again?
Thinking of this, Lin Bei immediately became excited.
"She's only at the Wild Beast Realm, but she's already able to raise my realm from a Level 1 Martial Apprentice to a Level 9 Martial Apprentice. If Whitey really breaks through to the Ferocious Beast Realm, wouldn't I have a chance to break through to the Great Martial Master Realm?"
Lin Bei was overjoyed. At the same time, he had a deeper understanding of the system.
"As expected of the strongest demon taming system. As expected, the focus is still on nurturing contract beasts."
"As for my own realm, I can completely increase it through resonance."
He muttered softly.
However, Lin Bei knew very well that he could not just rely on resonance. The number of resonances was very limited, so he could not slack off when it was time to work hard on cultivation.
At this moment, Whitey's body in front of Lin Bei's chest began to shrink again. Finally, it returned to its normal cat appearance.
"Looks like the duration of the transformation isn't long."
Lin Bei held Whitey in his arms and looked at the sun outside the window.
Not bad. The weather was good today.
A good day suitable for walking cats.
With that, he put on his clothes and walked out of the dormitory with Whitey.
