Jiang Ling, brimming with curiosity after becoming Lu Yu’s disciple, circled him and asked, “What’s the first step? What should I do now?”

Lu Yu considered her for a moment. “It’s straightforward. Venture into the wild and seek out high-level beasts. Let me assess your current strength. Understanding your baseline is crucial before I can guide your improvement.”

“Sounds good; let’s go then! I’m ready!” Jiang Ling declared with enthusiasm.

Reaching into her pocket, she produced a pearl. “I’ve actually tamed an Elemental Dragon! Once we’re out there, you’ll see just how powerful my battle pet is!” she exclaimed, excitedly brandishing the pearl before tucking it away.

With that, Jiang Ling and Lu Yu exited the villa, their bodyguard trailing discreetly behind. After all, Lu Yu was a newcomer, and they weren’t comfortable leaving Jiang Ling alone with him just yet.

As they strolled through the city streets, Lu Yu asked Jiang Ling questions about Skyplume City’s various factions. They arrived leisurely at the city gate and passed through, emerging into the wilderness.

The relaxed atmosphere vanished the moment they entered the wild. Staff in hand, Jiang Ling scanned their surroundings with a vigilant gaze.

“You’re a dragon tamer, yet you carry a staff?” Lu Yu queried, noticing her weapon.

“Dragon tamers don’t solely rely on their dragons for combat,” Jiang Ling explained. “We need our own fighting prowess. Plus, a tamed dragon’s strength is directly linked to its master’s. By improving myself, I elevate my dragon as well. ”

“Speaking of which, I’m almost a Level 25 Dragon Trainer, which puts me among Skyplume City’s best.”

“Level 25, huh? What about the city’s strongest trainer?” Lu Yu inquired.

“Easily over a hundred, maybe just shy of a hundred and fifty,” Jiang Ling replied. “He’s incredibly powerful, someone who could easily overpower me.

Against such a master, I wouldn’t stand a chance.”

Lu Yu acknowledged her words with a slight nod. “Being at Level 100 is quite impressive. Now, this forest seems like a basic wild area. We likely won’t encounter formidable beasts here.’

With a playful toss of her hair, Jiang Ling pointed in the opposite direction. “Let’s head down this path. It leads deeper into the Wobeast Forest. That’s where the real high-level monsters reside. We can check it out.”

“Alright, lead the way!” Lu Yu agreed, following closely behind Jiang Ling as they ventured deeper into the forest.

As they progressed, the surrounding wildlife changed. Several beasts lurked in the shadows, observing them cautiously but not daring to attack.

They soon arrived at the entrance of the Wobeast Forest. Towering trees, easily reaching 30 to 40 meters, dominated the landscape. Undergrowth grew sparse and neglected, while the ground was carpeted with withered leaves. Upon entering, Lu Yu spotted bones scattered across the forest floor—remains of prey devoured by the local predators.

“This place feels hazardous,” Lu Yu remarked, taking in the ominous atmosphere. “The beasts here are definitely no pushovers.”

“Absolutely,” Jiang Ling confirmed. “Many of them are high-level creatures.

Ordinary folks wouldn’t stand a chance against them.”

Suddenly, Jiang Ling grabbed Lu Yu’s arm and excitedly pointed. “Look over there! See those Giant Horned Rhinoceros? It’s around Level 20. As long as there are no surprises, I can take it down easily.”

Gripping her staff tightly, Jiang Ling cautiously approached the Giant Horned Rhinoceros. The colossal beast grazed on berries dangling from a nearby bush, seemingly oblivious to their presence.

Jiang Ling closed the distance and raised her staff, aiming it directly at the rhinoceros. With a sharp cry, “Ice Magic!” a streak of light erupted from the staff, engulfing the Giant Horned Rhinoceros in a flash of frost. The beast was instantly frozen solid, a glistening ice sculpture trapped in its mid-meal munch.

Reaching for the pearl at her waist, Jiang Ling tossed it high into the air. In a burst of light, a magnificent Frost Dragon materialized, flapping its wings impressively before swooping down towards the incapacitated rhinoceros.

Lu Yu couldn’t help but furrow his brow. “A Frost Dragon as well,” he muttered, a hint of intrigue in his voice. “Either a remarkable coincidence, or perhaps this is their natural habitat?” He kept his gaze fixed on the unfolding battle.

The Frost Dragon unleashed a volley of over ten Frost Lances, sharp, icy projectiles aimed at piercing the frozen rhinoceros. Sensing the danger, the beast struggled mightily, shattering the ice encasing its body. With a mighty roar, it reared up, gathering energy into its colossal horn. A powerful shockwave erupted from the horn, colliding with the incoming lances in a dazzling explosion.

Most of the Frost Lances shattered under the impact, scattering like shrapnel. Only one or two managed to pierce the shockwave and reach the rhinoceros, but they merely scratched its thick hide, leaving no significant damage.

Undeterred, Jiang Ling gritted her teeth and directed the Frost Dragon in a swift descent. The dragon’s massive claws clamped down on the rhinoceros, pinning it to the ground with surprising ease. A brutal struggle ensued —the Frost Dragon biting relentlessly and the rhinoceros bellowing in frustration.

The forest floor trembled with the force of their clash, echoing with the creature’s enraged roars.

Observing the fight unfold, Lu Yu conceded with a slight nod. “The Frost

Dragon has seized control rather swiftly. Your skill is undeniable.”

Jiang Ling, fueled by a surge of confidence, smirked. “Of course! I’m more than capable. Just watch, the Frost Dragon will tear this beast apart in less than five minutes!” she declared, clenching her fists with unwavering determination.

Lu Yu remained silent, maintaining his keen observation. Gradually, the rhinoceros’ struggle weakened, succumbing to the Frost Dragon’s relentless assault. Seizing an opportunity, the Frost Dragon lunged and delivered a fatal bite to the creature’s neck. Blood welled up, and within moments, the Giant Horned Rhinoceros lay still, defeated.

Ecstatic with victory, Jiang Ling burst out, “I won! I took down the Giant Horned Rhinoceros! See, it was easy, right? Even higher-level beasts won’t stand a chance against me. We’ll find another one soon; just you wait!”

Lu Yu, a hint of amusement playing on his lips, replied, “Then let’s delve deeper. Perhaps we’ll encounter a worthy challenge for you.”

Jiang Ling, pleased with herself, beckoned the Frost Dragon back to her side. “Excellent work, my friend! You deserve a grand feast when we return!” She declared, patting the magnificent creature affectionately..
