The next morning, Lin Fan was woken up by Su Yuqing.
"Hurry up, training is about to start!" Su Yuqing shouted as she knocked on the door.
Lin Fan got up in a daze and looked at Taotie who was still huffing and puffing, "Hey, it's time to get up."
Taotie rolled over, "Mortal, don't disturb this seat..."
Lin Fan had no choice but to wash himself and follow Su Yuqing to the training ground.
There were already quite a few people gathered on the training ground, all of them were elite class trainees. Lin Fan noticed that everyone was followed by a spirit beast, some were majestic beasts and some were small and cute elves.
"Today we are going to have basic training." A burly instructor stood in front, "First is physical training, then spirit beast cooperation training."
Lin Fan looked at the lazy Taotie, his heart was a little unsure.
"The first item, weighted running!" The instructor shouted, "Each person carries a 50 kilogram sandbag on their back and runs 10 laps around the field!"
The trainees took action. Lin Fan carried the sandbags on his back and felt a bit overwhelmed. He looked at Taotie, "Can you help me share some of it?"
Taotie glanced at him, "Mortal, if you can't stand this level of training, how do you deserve to be this seat's master?"
Lin Fan: "..."
He had to grit his teeth and persevere. By the fifth lap, he was already panting and sweating. Just then, he heard a soft laugh from the side.
"Need some help?" A blonde boy ran over, followed by a majestic lion.
Lin Fan shook his head, "No, thanks."
The blonde boy smiled, "My name is Jack, from America. Your spirit animal looks very special."
Lin Fan glanced at Taotie and realized that it was staring at Jack's lion and drooling.
"That... It's a bit hungry." Lin Fan said awkwardly.
Jack: "..."
It was hard to finish 10 laps, and Lin Fan felt like he was about to get dehydrated. But the training wasn't over yet.
"Next is the spirit beast cooperation training!" The instructor shouted, "Groups of two, sparring practice!"
Lin Fan was assigned to a group with Su Yuqing. Su Yuqing's Pho looked small and cute, but Lin Fan knew that its strength was not to be underestimated.
"Are you ready?" Su Yuqing asked.
Lin Fan nodded, "Come on!"
As soon as the battle started, Phi Phi unleashed her Charming Voice. Taotie yawned disdainfully, "A trivial skill, how dare you show off in front of this seat?"
It opened its mouth and let out a deafening roar. Waves of sound swept across the entire training ground, and everyone was shaken to the ground.
The instructor stared at the scene dumbfounded, "This... What level of power is this?"
Lin Fan smiled awkwardly, "That... It's a bit excited..."
After the training, Lin Fan was called to Chen Tianming's office.
"Lin Fan, your performance was very good." Chen Tianming smiled, "However, your spirit beast seems a bit... Special."
Lin Fan: "..."
Chen Tianming continued, "We decided to arrange a special mission for you. This mission is very important and dangerous. Are you willing to accept it?"
Lin Fan hesitated, "What mission is it?"
Chen Tianming took out a document, "Recently, we discovered an ancient relic. There may be important information about Mythic Grade Spirit Beasts hidden there. We want you to go and investigate it."
Lin Fan: "..."
