Taming beasts is not as good as taming yourself

"Mimi~~"

While Wu Xiao was asleep, he heard Mimi calling him, and something furry was brushing against his face.

"Snapped!"

She reached out and grabbed the fluffy fur brushing against her face, but when she opened her eyes, she saw Mimi's big tail. However, the feel of this big tail seemed a little different than before.

Not only her tail, but Mimi also looks quite different.

Name: Spirit Fox.

Grade: Common.

Attribute: Normal.

Level: 6.

Characteristic: Different colors.

Skills: Cry, tail wagging.

"It really has been upgraded!"

Looking at the information in the encyclopedia, Wu Xiao had an expression that said, "I knew it." Wu Xiao had killed quite a few pets before, including a level 4 Emerald Insect, two level 5 Emerald Insects, and a level 12 Jumping Rat. Mimi absorbed the experience from all of these pets.

However, Wu Xiao had assigned Mimi a task at the time, so although Mimi absorbed this wave of experience, she didn't level up until the matter was over.

In one go, he leveled up to level 6 and even learned a new skill.

"Mimi, wag your tail!"

Wu Xiao gave Mimi the command. Upon hearing this, the little fox excitedly wagged its fluffy tail. "Hmm, very pretty."

Besides that, there doesn't seem to be anything else.

The previous vocalization skill made the little fox make a cute meowing sound, but now the newly learned tail wagging skill seems to have no other use besides looking pretty.

In other words, Wu Xiao never relied on Mimi's combat power. If it were any other beast tamer, and their pet had mastered two useless skills, they would probably just become depressed.

"Meow~~"

Seeing that Wu Xiao didn't seem very happy, the little fox came closer, looking somewhat uneasy, afraid that Wu Xiao would think it wasn't powerful enough.

It promised that once it becomes stronger, it will protect people.

"Mimi, you're amazing!"

Wu Xiao stroked the little fox's head. He considered the little fox a pet; it didn't need to be powerful, just obedient and cute.

"Meow!"

The little fox, easily appeased, brightened up at Wu Xiao's encouragement. Then, as if remembering something, it jumped off the bed, grabbed a small box, and ran over.

"Oh, has the blood crystal arrived?"

Upon seeing the small box, Wu Xiao knew what it was. Immediately, Wu Xiao checked the time and discovered that he had actually slept for three days.

However, this nap also restored Wu Xiao's condition to about 70-80%. Apart from some stinging pain in his legs, which would take some more time to fully recover, he was basically fine.

"Take care of the leg injury first, then proceed with the Blood Crystal Body Forging." Wu Xiao's consciousness entered the simulator, beginning to search for a way to quickly recover from the leg injury.

After a while, Wu Xiao opened his eyes, took out the blood crystal from the box, and after hundreds of attempts on the simulator, Wu Xiao discovered that the blood crystal could actually help him recover from the injury on his leg.

However, upon closer examination, this makes sense, as blood crystals are condensed from the essence of demonic beasts and contain abundant blood energy.

The blood and qi power was absolutely the right remedy for Wu Xiao's depleted blood and qi in his legs due to the excessive exploitation of the Great Sun Divine Thought.

Therefore, the blood crystal body tempering and the recovery of the leg injury can be carried out at the same time.

Wu Xiao brought out the large bath tub he used for the last Blood Crystal Body Tempering and began preparations skillfully. With the experience from last time and a basic foundation in skin refining, Wu Xiao could be a little more aggressive this time, so as to absorb more Blood Crystal energy.

With everything prepared, Wu Xiao immersed himself in the bathtub, bombarding the blood crystal with his mental energy, causing the energy inside to overflow and flow into the tub. Then, Wu Xiao began to assume a complex stance to accelerate the absorption of energy.

Wu Xiao discovered that his legs absorbed the blood crystal energy the fastest. His legs, depleted of blood energy, were like a dried-up sponge. The blood crystal energy was like water, and a sponge naturally absorbs water in large gulps.

Having already practiced many times using the simulator, the body-tempering process proceeded without any unexpected incidents. Wu Xiao methodically absorbed all the energy from the blood crystal, and the utilization rate of the blood crystal energy, optimized by the simulator, had reached as high as 80%.

One-tenth of the blood crystal energy was absorbed by his legs, and after absorbing the energy, Wu Xiao's legs recovered. The remaining seven-tenths of the energy was more than enough for Wu Xiao to reach the Great Perfection of Skin Refinement in his body tempering.

Stepping into this realm once again, Wu Xiao had many feelings. In his previous life, he had put in a lot of effort to reach this realm, constantly training his body every day and using expensive recovery potions. It took him several years to finally achieve the Great Perfection of Skin Refinement.

This time, only two medicinal baths were enough for Wu Xiao to successfully reach the Great Perfection of Skin Refinement. Because there was no prolonged physical stimulation, Wu Xiao's skin remained normal, and it felt the same as normal skin to the touch.

Although Wu Xiao used many medicines in his previous life, the prolonged beating of his skin still revealed its roughness. As a martial artist, Wu Xiao didn't care about these things, but it would naturally be best if he could keep it as it was, after all, skin is also a kind of sensory organ.

The skin becomes rough, which increases its defense but also greatly weakens its perception.

"This is true extraordinary power."

Wu Xiao pinched the delicate skin on his arm and couldn't help but sigh. This seemingly normal skin possessed defensive power comparable to a level 10 pet.

This is just basic defense. If combined with Wu Xiao's martial arts skills and force-dissipating techniques, he can even withstand attacks from level 20 pets.

But this is not all there is to the Great Completion stage of skin refining. If the Lesser Completion stage of skin refining is more about defense against physical attacks, then the Great Completion stage of skin refining also has a very high defensive effect against energy attacks.

This means that Wu Xiao can not only withstand physical attacks such as pet attacks and claw strikes, but also energy attacks such as fireballs, wind blades, and water arrows.

Therefore, Wu Xiao entered the simulator to personally test the limits of the Great Perfection of Skin Refinement. Only Wu Xiao, who had access to the simulator, could do this. If it were someone else, testing the limits of their own strength would be a very difficult thing.

After all, once the limit is exceeded, there will be a life-threatening situation; conversely, if the limit is exceeded, its range cannot be measured. However, Wu Xiao can use a simulator to test his true limits.

"Beep beep beep!"

While Wu Xiao was busy testing the limits of his Great Perfection level of Skin Refinement, his police encyclopedia issued a series of alerts. Exiting the simulator, Wu Xiao picked up the encyclopedia and glanced at it, then sat up straight.

"The rewards related to the Advent have finally arrived!" Wu Xiao opened the unread messages with some anticipation, eager to know how much the bureau had given him this time.
