Chapter 42: Has He Become a Role Model for Others to Learn From?

"Alright, alright, you all go back to your cultivation as well."

After eating and drinking his fill, Jiang Che let out a satisfied burp, then waved his paw at the three Spirit Beasts, including Little Tiger.

"Your current strength is truly too weak; it's really embarrassing to have you as my underlings."

"When we're out and about, if people find out you're my underlings, it wouldn't be enough to cover my own shame."

"Understood, Boss. We will definitely work hard to cultivate and will never bring shame to Boss."

Led by Little Tiger, the three Spirit Beasts patted their chests one after another to show their resolve, looking as adorable as could be.

Having eaten, drank, and finished lecturing his underlings, Jiang Che leisurely returned to the room and went back to lying flat on Luo Shuiyan's lap.

Jiang Che couldn't help but sigh; this kind of life was truly as comfortable as it gets. As expected, lying flat is the true path in life! Watching Jiang Che return to the room, Little Tiger turned his head and said to Yindiao and Cailin.

"Boss is truly terrifying. Did you two feel it? The aura on Boss is even stronger than it was yesterday!"

Cailin nodded upon hearing this, her pair of snake eyes filled with worship and admiration.

"I suppose Boss has broken through again. To improve so much in just one night, he is truly worthy of being our Boss!"

"That's right, we cannot be lazy either. We must focus on our cultivation to raise our strength and not hold our Boss back!"

Both Little Tiger and Cailin were filled with worship for Jiang Che in their words.

Although Yindiao's bloodline was significantly lower than the other two Spirit Beasts, he could also sense the strength of Jiang Che's power, and he nodded in agreement at this moment.

For the entire day that followed, the one human and three beasts in the apartment spent their time in diligent and arduous cultivation, as if they had ignored the passage of time.

Only Jiang Che remained lying flat, never stopping.

At four in the afternoon, Lin Xue'er, Yi Zimeng, and Hu Xiaoxiao, the three young women, returned to the apartment one after another.

Each of them had bought a large pile of things again. There was no helping it; the items they had bought yesterday had basically all been taken by the three Spirit Beasts to offer to their Boss, Jiang Che...

The three of them had thought about it all day but couldn't understand how Luo Shuiyan's Black Iron-grade Spirit Beast had managed to make all three of their Spirit Beasts so submissive, to the point where they didn't even hesitate to betray their own Beast Tamers...

Seeing the three of them return with those large bags and small parcels, Little Tiger's eyes lit up upon seeing them.

"Hehe, there are good things to offer to Boss again tonight." Little Tiger felt a surge of wild joy inside.

The life for the following week was basically spent like this every day.

Lin Xue'er and the other two young women had to go to the academy for classes every day, but their three Spirit Beasts were left at home to serve Jiang Che.

Among the students attending class, Lin Xue'er and her two friends were the only ones who didn't bring their Spirit Beasts along.

But they had no choice; ever since these three Spirit Beasts met Jiang Che, they were closer to him than they were to their own fathers... they wouldn't even listen to the words of their own Beast Tamers.

They even had to buy a large amount of things every day now, because the food they bought each time was basically all taken by their own Spirit Beasts to give to Jiang Che...

Meanwhile, Luo Shuiyan had been cultivating at home the entire time and had never once gone to Tianque Academy.

Over these past few days, relying on the "lying flat" amplification reward added by the system after he became a leader of a primary-level force, Jiang Che had made progress.

He had now broken through to level 21, successfully entering the range of a Third-Order Spirit Beast.

Such a terrifying speed of breakthrough was truly breathtaking.

Seeing Jiang Che break through so quickly, Hu Xiaoxiao and the others didn't mind their own beasts hanging out with Jiang Che anymore; there was no helping it, the guy was truly impressive...

Benefiting from the feedback after Jiang Che's breakthrough, Luo Shuiyan's cultivation had also climbed to a six-star Intermediate Beastmaster, one step closer to becoming an Advanced Beast Master. During this period, Jiang Che also received two skills gifted by the system: Kirin True Flame and Heavenly Thunder Descent.

Just hearing the names, one knew that these were both skills with extremely high lethality! When he obtained these two skills, Jiang Che saw the sky filled with burning flames in his consciousness.

It was as if a Kirin made of purple flames existed, possessing the overbearing pressure to incinerate all things in the world.

Under the sweep of those scorching flames, the earth cracked open, and mountains and rivers were set to evaporate.

Although Jiang Che could not yet unleash the full power of Kirin True Flame, it was already an extremely formidable fire-attribute martial skill.

Heavenly Thunder Descent was even more terrifying! It directly used the Kirin bloodline to summon the Heavenly Thunder Tribulation to descend and annihilate everything in the world! That terrifying thunder was as if the heavens themselves were in a rage, making one not even dare to look directly at it.

The divine beast Kirin is truly terrifying.

These two martial skills alone were enough to crush many Spirit Beasts.

However, Jiang Che didn't take this to heart; after all, he only wanted to lie flat and didn't like fighting and killing.

In Jiang Che's view, as a Human Tamer, it was better to leave the fighting to Luo Shuiyan.

Jiang Che clicked open his current attribute panel.

Name: Jiang Che

Level: 21 (1688/48000) Bloodline: Black Iron-grade, Kirin (10%)

Skills: Netherworld Swift Step, Fear Eye, Kirin Step, Kirin Armor, Teleportation, Kirin True Flame, Heavenly Thunder Descent. Spirit Artifact: Kirin Seal. Space: (Click to expand)

Jiang Che discovered that as his level continued to break through, the bloodline grade displayed on the panel had finally changed.

After this period of time, his bloodline had finally moved up a tier.

Although it was still somewhat unbearable compared to other Spirit Beasts, it was already much better than before.

However, for Jiang Che himself, he didn't really care about these things; after all, it wouldn't matter even if he kept the F-grade label.

In fact, in Jiang Che's view, he would rather keep the Black Iron-grade bloodline label; after all, playing the pig to eat the tiger always had unexpected effects.

Besides, if the bloodline grade was displayed as high...

The next time he went for a test, it might attract unwanted attention from others...

"As expected of Boss, not only is his own bloodline talent invincible, but he also cultivates more diligently than us!"

Because Jiang Che was always lying flat inside the room, the three Spirit Beasts—Little Tiger and the others—outside the room had no idea that Jiang Che wasn't cultivating at all inside...

Seeing Jiang Che break through so quickly, they attributed it all to Jiang Che cultivating more arduously.

"See that? I wasn't wrong, this is our Boss!"

"Boss has broken through so quickly, he's already a Third-Order Spirit Beast. We cannot hold him back. Although our talent and bloodline are much worse, we must continue to work hard!"

Little Tiger looked at Jiang Che's tightly closed door and said earnestly to Cailin and Yindiao.

The other two Spirit Beasts also nodded in deep agreement, and then the three Spirit Beasts began a new round of cultivation.

They did not know, however, that behind that tightly closed door, Jiang Che was lying comfortably on Luo Shuiyan's lap, fast asleep.
