Chapter 255: The Rebellious Three-Headed Snake (Second update, seeking support)

The moment the two made contact, the Life Jade began to release a hazy green light, gradually enveloping the entire giant egg.

Li Zhangsheng hurriedly projected his Mental Power to carefully observe the changes in the giant egg.

Just as before, the giant egg would shine brightly for a moment and then dim, though the duration of the dimming was much shorter than before.

The next moment, the giant egg showed a slight change; the dimming duration seemed to have a slight tendency to shorten, and although it was minuscule, it was still detected by Li Zhangsheng.

Li Zhangsheng observed for a full quarter of an hour before finally feeling relieved; the effect of the Life Jade was clearly superior to the Life Water, and the giant egg was recovering at a speed several times faster than before.

It stood to reason that it would recover to its original state in less than a month, though as for when it would hatch, that was unclear.

"If that doesn't work, then I'll find a way to get a Void Crystal!!"

A Void Crystal could allow a Healthy Spirit Beast egg to hatch immediately, and with absolutely no side effects to speak of.

"Better to let the giant egg lie flat!" Looking at the shattered roof, Li Zhangsheng silently directed Kailan to cast Burrowing Vine, slowly laying the giant egg flat on the ground.

"Treasure-Seeking Mouse, I'll leave it to you!"

The giant egg was too precious; even though this was the courtyard where he lived, there was no guarantee it wouldn't be discovered by others. Necessary concealment was still very useful, and adding a thick layer of earth wall to the giant egg could also enhance its protection.

With the help of the Treasure-Seeking Mouse, the giant egg was soon wrapped in a thick layer of earth wall, giving the impression of a small, enclosed cubicle appearing in the bedroom.

"Looks like I'm going to be fined!" Looking at the large hole in the roof, Li Zhangsheng shook his head. The buildings of Yuanling Academy could not be openly damaged, otherwise, one would be fined, and he had heard the fines were not light.

With such a large hole, the floor was covered in dust, debris, and broken wood; the entire bedroom looked messy and terrible, and he could not sleep here tonight.

Under these circumstances, Li Zhangsheng could only have the servants tidy up a guest room, intending to stay there for the night.

It was not yet late, and Li Zhangsheng prepared to read for a while before practicing. The book in his hand was titled "Ten Methods for Extracting Bloodlines," which he had found on the second floor of Tianlu Pavilion, a book about purifying bloodlines.

This book was almost worn out from being flipped through; it was clearly a 'popular book' in Tianlu Pavilion. Unfortunately, the ten bloodline purification methods in this book were all very shallow, and the purification efficiency was not just ordinarily low.

Simply put, if one followed the purification methods in this book, theoretically, for 1 kilogram of source blood material, one might not even be able to purify 1 gram. An efficiency of less than one-thousandth was shockingly low.

As for the "Book of Bloodlines" by the Hundred Victories King, the bloodline purification efficiency could reach 20%. It didn't seem like much, but according to the Hundred Victories King's conjecture, if assisted by the World Wonder—the Demon Refining Pot, the bloodline purification efficiency could potentially reach 50%!

Unfortunately, Li Zhangsheng only had the "Book of Bloodlines Part Two" and lacked the preceding steps, so he could only integrate purification methods from other similar books to try and make up for the missing steps.

But even so, the efficiency of bloodline purification would likely be far inferior to the complete Book of Bloodlines; according to Li Zhangsheng's estimation, it would likely only be 5%—10%, and might not even reach that.

The next morning!

Li Zhangsheng had only slept for two hours that night, with the rest of the time spent reading and practicing.

Even though he had only slept for two hours, Li Zhangsheng's mental state was still excellent. The higher the rank of a Monster Tamer, the less sleep they needed. At Li Zhangsheng's current level, he only needed to sleep for two or three hours a day to be full of vigor the next day.

After leaving the Number One Courtyard, Li Zhangsheng went straight to the Paid Training Ground.

This time, he did not choose the first floor but came to the second floor.

Compared to the first floor, the second floor also had no threshold, but it was much more expensive, costing three Low-grade Soul Crystals per hour, which was three times that of the first floor.

If he trained for ten hours a day, it would cost 900 Soul Crystals a month. Li Zhangsheng had earned quite a bit this week, but most of what he earned was Academic Credit, and the Soul Crystals he had on him could only support him for half a month.

However, Li Zhangsheng could not stay here every day. After finishing the week of outdoor training, Instructor Lu Qian had given the First-Year Elite Class two days off.

Two days later, they would have to reorganize their teams and continue their outdoor training.

The second floor had a total of 30 training rooms, which were not only much larger than those on the first floor, but the equipment and facilities were also better. In addition, there were special training functions that the first floor did not have.

Li Zhangsheng rented a training room on the second floor. While it was called a training room, it was extremely spacious inside. In addition to the training ground that occupied over a thousand square meters, there were two rooms with special functions: the Mental Pressure Room and the Gravity Room.

The Mental Pressure Room went without saying, while the Gravity Room could regulate the gravity in the room, allowing the Demon Pets to adapt to different gravity environments while simultaneously improving their strength faster.

Soon, under Li Zhangsheng's specific arrangements, the ten Demon Pets began training in different places. This training focused primarily on improving their strengths.

Kailan, Sunlight Meow, and Moonlight Meow did obstacle runs in the Gravity Room to improve their speed and evasion abilities; the Fire Element Flamingo, Paradise Bird, and Treasure-Seeking Mouse trained in coordination with each other in the Mental Pressure Room, focusing mainly on mastering skills; while Roundy, the Three-Headed Snake, and the Emperor Crocodile sparred on the training ground outside to improve their resistance to blows.

After the Demon Pets began their training, Li Zhangsheng had no intention of lingering. He prepared to go to the Starry Sky Auction House; he hadn't been there for a week, and he didn't know how many changes had occurred.

Since he was in the Academy District, having Aixi with him was enough.

However, Li Zhangsheng still gave Kailan a few instructions: "Kailan, I'm going out for a bit, I'll leave this place to you for now! When you're resting, remember to supervise them!"

"With me here, you can go with peace of mind!" Kailan patted her not-so-full chest.

Li Zhangsheng nodded with satisfaction. He was truly very satisfied with Kailan, so he took Aixi to inspect the construction progress of the Starry Sky Auction House.

After Li Zhangsheng left, Kailan looked around, and upon discovering that the Demon Pets were not slacking off, she returned to the Gravity Room with peace of mind to continue her training, preparing to come out from time to time to supervise them.

About an hour later, seeing Kailan fly back into the Gravity Room, Roundy leaned against the wall, exhausted. Originally, it only intended to doze for a moment, but it couldn't stop the sleepiness and soon fell into a deep slumber.

"That blockhead really fell asleep again!"

Seeing Roundy fall into a deep sleep, the Three-Headed Snake, which had been sparring with the Emperor Crocodile, couldn't help but reveal a smile. It suddenly stopped its movements and shouted to the Emperor Crocodile: "Brother, when you break through, shall we run away together?"
