The insects in my house are dragons.

Chapter 6 Growth and the Dance of the Dragon

On this sunny day, Yun Che, wearing a sun hat and carrying scissors, went to the orchard with Kong Kong.

In fact, this was his eleventh day in this world, and also the tenth day since he defeated Huang Kun.

During this period, neither he nor Kongkong were idle.

On the first day, Yun Che bagged some of the fruit in the orchard. At the same time, he did not forget to train Kong Kong. With their joint efforts, Kong Kong's skill "Dragon Tail" reached the proficiency level after "Charge" thanks to "Mastering Seeds".

Furthermore, Yun Che discovered that low-level skills require one white-quality "Mastery Seed" to progress from beginner to proficient, while mid-level skills require three times that amount!

The next day, Yun Che and his uncle completed the bagging process. Kong Kong shed its skin again, marking its third molt. It had grown even larger, and training gradually became a daily routine.

At the same time, Yun Che also discovered that the effect of white-quality "Mastery Seeds" weakens after the skill proficiency reaches the proficiency level.

On the third day, Kongkong's ramming skill proficiency reached the master level!

After reaching the proficiency level in the collision skill, he continued to use a total of 6 "Mastery Seeds" and, with Kong Kong's hard training, finally broke through the mastery level barrier!

The hallmark of a master-level slam is the ability to perform a double sprint!

While further enhancing its power and impact, the second dash also makes the skill more flexible to use.

Normally, it would take at least half a year to go from proficient to master level in a low-level skill, and that's assuming you work hard enough!

Of course, the time required for different skills varies depending on their compatibility with the pet.

Kongkong is definitely one of the more talented ones.

This undoubtedly gave Yun Che even greater confidence in becoming a beast tamer.

On the fourth day, Kongkong shed its skin again; this was its fourth molt.

Since the "Mastery Seed" had been exhausted, Yun Che and Kong Kong focused more on training their basic physical fitness.

It has to be said that with the help of "Dragon Scales" and "Energy Cubes", Kongkong's growth rate is really fast.

Even without using any skills, it can now easily break tree trunks that required a charge attack to break when it was first tamed.

However, while helping his uncle fertilize the fertilizer that day, Yun Che discovered...

The empty "territory" area seems to have grown larger.

It won't run out to "level up" by itself in the middle of the night, will it?

The fifth day was Kongkong's daily training day.

On the sixth day, the villagers told him that the village had become quieter at night recently, and even the weasels were stealing chickens less often. Upon hearing this news, Kongkong held his head high, practically with "Praise me" written all over his face.

On the seventh day, Kongkong shed its skin for the fifth time.

To an outsider at first glance, it doesn't look like anything special, except that it's larger than a typical green velvet worm.

Only Yun Che could clearly sense its changes; its scales, like keratin, had become extremely hard.

Putting everything else aside, in terms of sheer resilience, Kong Kong is definitely far superior.

On the eighth day, Yun Che spent his days training and tending the orchard. It was also the fifth day he missed the system. Why wasn't the damn system acting up again?

Day 9: Daily training and orchard care.

The tenth day, which is today.

When I woke up this morning, Kongkong had molted again. This was its sixth molt, and the most unusual one yet.

Because Yun Che discovered that its strength level had actually increased!

It has reached the mid-stage of the mutation!

and.

Yun Che was also surprised to find that two small bumps had appeared on his empty head!

Although it was very small and inconspicuous, he only noticed it when he patted the little guy on the head.

In addition, Kong Kong's physical qualities, such as strength and resilience, have also improved further.

Although Yun Che was not clear about the state of other mid-stage mutation pets because there was no reference, Kong Kong's strength had definitely more than doubled!

Sure enough, the idea that had been dormant for a while resurfaced.

We arrived at the woods where they usually train.

While Kong Kong was enjoying the energy cubes, Yun Che used the "Dragon Dance" move learning machine!

hum-

It worked!

Yun Che was overjoyed.

As expected, the reason it couldn't be used before was probably because Kongkong's strength and dragon bloodline concentration were insufficient. After this growth, it can be used now.

Thump thump!! Thump thump!!

Suddenly, a powerful sound, like the beating of a drum, rang out from Kongkong's body, carrying a special rhythm and cadence.

"grumble?"

Kongkong looked up blankly, with bits of energy cube still stuck to the corner of his mouth.

Thump thump! Thump thump—

This time I heard clearly.

It's just the sound of an empty heartbeat!

So powerful?

After a brief moment of confusion, Kongkong suddenly realized that she seemed to have... learned a new skill!

And the effect of this skill seems... a bit exaggerated.

"grumble?"

Kongkong tilted his head and looked at his beast tamer.

What did A-Che do?

I don't know.

It felt a slight heat, and its body involuntarily wanted to move in rhythm with its heartbeat. It felt as if some force was slowly awakening within it...

"Empty, Dragon Dance!" Yun Che said.

"grumble!"

Upon hearing this, the little guy devoured the remaining energy cube, licked his lips, and no longer restrained his instincts, his body beginning to sway in rhythm with his heartbeat.

At first, she was a little unskilled, but gradually, Kongkong forgot everything and became immersed in the dance with its unique rhythm.

It was like some kind of strange ritual, or a dance performed during a sacrifice. My heartbeat grew louder and louder, my body grew hotter and hotter, and my energy was flowing out, but it also seemed to be replenished from somewhere.

Boom! !

When the last powerful, drum-like heartbeat ended, Kongkong gasped for breath, his body steaming and wisps of white smoke rising faintly.

"Kongkong, how are you feeling?" Yun Che asked.

「叽！ᕙ(⇀‸↼‶)ᕗ」

Power!!

"Want to give it a try?"

Kongkong turned his head and looked at a rock about the size of a person next to him.

They crawled forward quickly.

Take a deep breath and flick your tail.

boom! ! !

For an instant.

The rock broke into several pieces.

"Chirp?" Kongkong was also somewhat surprised by his own performance.

I... am I that amazing?

"Tsk." Yun Che clicked his tongue, unable to help but exclaim in amazement, "Normal attacks, not even using skills."

If I really had to find a point of reference...

Given Kongkong's current condition, he should be able to go toe-to-toe with Huang Kun's Red-tailed Pheasant.

In three seconds of empty space, it can destroy a red-tailed pheasant seven times.

"Is this the feeling that comes from pure numbers, without any skill or technique?"

to be frank.

Yun Che was looking for a creature of equal strength, at least a mid-stage mutant, to give Kong Kong some practice.

Such opponents are not actually that hard to find; there is a fairly high probability of encountering them in the wilderness, which is a bit far from the village.

After all, the growth of a pet mainly involves three things: eating, training, and fighting.

Nutritious food, proper training, and appropriate combat are all indispensable.

Combat is the best way to test training results, identify shortcomings, and hone growth experience.

But he only thought about it; he wasn't stupid.

He has a system, and he has seemingly unfathomable potential. With steady development, he can amaze everyone at some point. Why should he rashly venture into dangerous areas?

At least....

We'll have to wait until Kongkong reaches max level, right?

He chuckled softly.

"Train, Kongkong."

Yun Che picked up the stone from the ground. "Let's continue from yesterday. I'll throw stones at you, and you dodge them. But today we'll make it a little more difficult. You'll have to carry that rock."

"Chirp!" Kongkong, whose body was still warm, nodded heavily.

Come on! I'm already itching for more!

Not long after Yun Che and Kong Kong began their training, a voice interrupted their daily routine.

"that....."

A girl with a yellow ponytail, wearing a wide-brimmed straw hat and carrying a backpack walked near the orchard at some point.

"Excuse me... is this Xingye Village?"

At the same time, the system, which had been silent for nearly ten days, suddenly started to respond.

【Ding! 】

[A new trainer has been discovered, Little Yellow!]
