Chapter 141: Promotion (First update, requesting everything)

Compared to a few days ago, Li Zhangsheng's bedroom had undergone some changes. In order to practice the Azure Dragon Constellation Demon Taming Art in his bedroom, Li Zhangsheng had specifically opened a large hole in the roof, usually covering it with five-colored glazed glass and opening it only when practicing.

Tonight, the stars were scattered like chess pieces, the starry sky accompanied by a crescent moon hanging in the vast sky. The starlight was brilliant, dotting the pitch-black night sky; tonight would undoubtedly provide great assistance for his practice.

Before practicing, Li Zhangsheng poured out a Concentration Pill and swallowed it in one gulp. At the same time, his right hand gripped a Low-grade Soul Crystal to accelerate the condensation speed of his Mental Power as much as possible.

The Concentration Pill melted upon entering his mouth, turning into a warm current that flowed straight to his brain along his meridians. Li Zhangsheng felt his mind clear, and even his logical thinking ability was temporarily enhanced quite a bit.

In his Consciousness Sea, 35 stars revolved slowly around the Soul Light Sphere like stars surrounding the moon. Around these stars, there remained one last small patch of darkness.

With the assistance of the Concentration Pill, the Soul Light Sphere became much more active. A large amount of Mental Power began to be born, turning into mental waves that started to wash over the last patch of darkness.

At the same time, the Horn Wood Flood Dragon Constellation in the night sky flickered slightly, and wisps of starlight began to fall, illuminating Li Zhangsheng in silvery-white starlight.

The moment the starlight fell, the Star Aperture located on Li Zhangsheng's crown started up, beginning to whale-swallow the Starlight Power surging into his body.

This Starlight Power was utilized to the extreme. It first turned into needles that pierced into Li Zhangsheng's body. In the process of wandering, it gradually tempered his limbs, bones, and internal organs, only being absorbed by the Star Aperture at the end.

Compared to a few days ago, Li Zhangsheng had clearly adapted much more. His body no longer trembled, with only his brows slightly furrowed as he silently endured the pain of ten thousand needles piercing his body.

Under the triple effects of the Azure Dragon Constellation Demon Taming Art, the Concentration Pill, and the Low-grade Soul Crystal, the dark area was washed away completely. A dim star was born, and then, under the condensation of the mental waves, it began to emit an increasingly brilliant radiance.

After half an hour, Li Zhangsheng finally solidified the 36th star, but his Mental Power did not obtain a large-scale enhancement.

The reason was simple: he had not yet fully promoted!

To promote to a Second-Rank Beast Master, two conditions must be met. First, condense 36 stars; this condition is of low difficulty, and as long as there is enough time, almost everyone can complete it. Second, it requires two Demon Pets that have reached the Middle Rank, using their Origin Power combined with the 36 stars to expand the Consciousness Sea in one go!

Of course, if there are more and stronger Middle-Rank Beasts, this process will undoubtedly be even easier.

As long as the Consciousness Sea expands further, the Beast Master's Mental Power will undergo a qualitative change, becoming more solid; this is also the biggest difference between the Second Rank and the First Rank.

In addition, as the Consciousness Sea expands, all aspects related to the brain, such as memory, imagination, reasoning ability, logical thinking ability, etc., will also obtain a certain degree of growth.

Using the mental connection, Li Zhangsheng resonated with the Demon Pet Spaces where Aixi, Kailan, and the Fire Element flamingo were located.

As for the two tabby cats, although they had made obvious progress, they had not yet become Middle-Rank Beasts and could not provide help for Li Zhangsheng's promotion.

The next moment, the three Middle-Rank Beasts sensed Li Zhangsheng's heart's desire. Using the mental channels between the two sides, wisps of Origin Power began to permeate Li Zhangsheng's Consciousness Sea.

Even though they were all Origin Power, their colors and properties naturally had some differences based on their attributes; for example, the flamingo's origin was red, and its properties were scorching, explosive, and burning.

Under Li Zhangsheng's control, the three strands of Origin Power wrapped around the 36 stars. He could faintly feel that the 36 stars were undergoing certain changes.

Soon, the 36 stars rotated slowly, shooting out rays of colorful radiance that landed on the invisible barrier on the outer layer!

At the moment of contact, the radiance raged and surged. Ripples appeared on the invisible barrier, and under the continuous bombardment of the radiance, it became increasingly unstable.

Whoosh—

The invisible barrier shattered with a bang. Like a great bell tolling, Li Zhangsheng's mind suddenly went blank, as if someone were holding a sledgehammer and striking his head hard.

This situation came quickly and went quickly. Within a few breaths, Li Zhangsheng recovered his clarity and began to feel the changes in his Consciousness Sea.

After the invisible barrier disappeared, Li Zhangsheng's Consciousness Sea had expanded a lot, which also caused his Mental Power to undergo a qualitative change; whether in quantity, quality, or intensity, there was a substantial improvement.

In addition, Li Zhangsheng also sensed another Demon Pet Space, which was the so-called +1 contract slot!

This time during the promotion, the Consciousness Sea expanded by a full two times. This territory could condense 72 stars, plus the existing 36 stars, for a total of 108 stars, which was also one of the necessary conditions for promoting to the Third Rank.

As long as there is enough time, Mental Power can always reach the promotion standard.

The second condition is still related to Demon Pets; it requires the use of the Origin Power of High-Rank Beasts, and the number is as many as three. Although the number only increased by one, the difficulty increased geometrically.

For Beast Masters, this is truly too unfriendly, which is also the main reason why high-quality Demon Pets are so popular.

In the eyes of Beast Masters, the quality of a Demon Pet is crucial. The higher the quality, the easier it is to promote. For example, for a Superior Quality Demon Pet, breaking through to the Middle Rank or High Rank is as simple as eating and drinking; perhaps they might even complete the breakthrough while sleeping.

Hum—

Just after completing the breakthrough, Li Zhangsheng subconsciously wanted to consolidate his realm. Unexpectedly, Li Zhangsheng's body twitched violently, and he felt a roar in his ears, his head once again becoming a blank slate.

The next moment, his neck area suddenly bloomed with dazzling radiance, and a milky-white point of light emerged; unknowingly, he had opened the second Star Aperture.

The Kang Metal Dragon Constellation is located at the neck position of the Azure Dragon Constellation!

It turned out that in the practice just now, the first Star Aperture had just been filled with Starlight Power, which led to the smooth opening of the second Star Aperture.

In the blink of an eye, the second Star Aperture, like a whale sucking water, absorbed all the Starlight Power in his body. It still did not feel satisfied, turning instead to echo from afar with the Kang Metal Dragon Constellation in the night sky, drawing in more Starlight Power.

Soon, Li Zhangsheng reached his limit. His body began to tremble violently, and sweat poured out like rain. He hurriedly stopped practicing to avoid losing more than he gained.

Li Zhangsheng stood up, his face full of an irrepressible smile. This practice not only successfully promoted him to the Second Rank but also opened the second Star Aperture; it could be called a double blessing.
