Jiang Ling, br.i.m.m.i.n.g with curiosity after becoming Lu Yus disciple, circled him and asked, Whats the first step? What should I do now?

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

Sounds good; lets go then! Im ready! Jiang Ling declared with enthusiasm.

Reaching into her pocket, she produced a pearl. Ive actually tamed an Elemental Dragon! Once were out there, youll see just how powerful my battle pet is! she exclaimed, excitedly brandis.h.i.+ng 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 werent comfortable leaving Jiang Ling alone with him just yet.

As they strolled through the city streets, Lu Yu asked Jiang Ling questions about Skyplume Citys various factions. They arrived leisurely at the city gate and pa.s.sed 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.

Youre a dragon tamer, yet you carry a staff? Lu Yu queried, noticing her weapon.

Dragon tamers dont solely rely on their dragons for combat, Jiang Ling explained. We need our own fighting prowess. Plus, a tamed dragons strength is directly linked to its masters. By improving myself, I elevate my dragon as well.

Speaking of which, Im almost a Level 25 Dragon Trainer, which puts me among Skyplume Citys best.

Level 25, huh? What about the citys strongest trainer? Lu Yu inquired.

Easily over a hundred, maybe just shy of a hundred and fifty, Jiang Ling replied. Hes incredibly powerful, someone who could easily overpower me.

Against such a master, I wouldnt 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 wont encounter formidable beasts here.

With a playful toss of her hair, Jiang Ling pointed in the opposite direction. Lets head down this path. It leads deeper into the Wobeast Forest. Thats 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 spa.r.s.e and neglected, while the ground was carpeted with withered leaves. Upon entering, Lu Yu spotted bones scattered across the forest floorremains 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 wouldnt stand a chance against them.

Suddenly, Jiang Ling grabbed Lu Yus arm and excitedly pointed. Look over there! See those Giant Horned Rhinoceros? Its 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 couldnt 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 dragons ma.s.sive 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 creatures 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! Im 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, succ.u.mbing to the Frost Dragons relentless a.s.sault. Seizing an opportunity, the Frost Dragon lunged and delivered a fatal bite to the creatures 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 wont stand a chance against me. Well find another one soon; just you wait!

Lu Yu, a hint of amus.e.m.e.nt playing on his lips, replied, Then lets delve deeper. Perhaps well 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..
