On the other side, After ordering the necessary materials online with his phone, a cheerful Lu Yu took the bus back home.
Only the familiar environment could make him feel at ease.
After washing up, he lay down directly on his bed. Having been busy all day, he quickly fell asleep.
Little Spider, however, changed into a clean white nightgown before climbing onto the bed, tucking her master in, and then skillfully slipping into his dream to reinforce the Dream Prison with the Dream Fragments she had collected today.
Crack! Crack! Crack!
Countless rainbow-colored spider silks spread out from Little Spider's hands, filling the sky like a celestial maiden from mythology weaving the clouds, creating a beautiful scene.
With the massive influx of new silk, the strength of the Web of the Dream Prison continuously increased, and she wove another large net over the existing one, making the fine mesh even smaller.
As a result, its appearance increasingly resembled a giant Insect Nest.
Once a living being rashly stepped inside, it would be entangled by the silk and turned into Provisions.
Lu Yu glanced at the black hole in the sky of the dreamscape.
The black aura representing the Nightmare Seal within it was growing denser, indicating that the Nightmare was constantly approaching.
The only thing he could confirm was that the other party was not an Overlord Rank pet beast corresponding to the Morning Star Rank, as it lacked the unique Overlord Aura.
However, to be able to project a mark from such a distance, even by leveraging the borderless nature of the vast dream world, it had to be at least a Commander Rank powerhouse, albeit one in a state of declining strength.
But Lu Yu couldn't be sure if it had previously been a peak Commander Rank existence, because that level was different from an ordinary Commander Rank.
They could already explore the Mother River. If they were lucky, they could induce a transformation in their spirituality and achieve a leap in their life level ahead of time.
(It was mentioned before that advancing to the Morning Star Rank must be done in the Mother River, so all living beings can explore it.
However, using the Beast Taming Space to absorb and convert the Mother River's Primordial Spirituality to accelerate a pet beast's growth is a unique human talent.
Moreover, humans can assemble a Spiritual Puzzle, which is safer.)
Lu Yu didn't like to entrust his fate to the hope of his opponent's weakness, so in the time he had left, he had to do everything in his power to increase Little Spider's strength.
The materials for the Skill Secret Food were still on their way, so she couldn't learn any new skills. The only things he could do were to continue reinforcing the Dream Prison, enhance his spiritual power through meditation, and temper Little Spider's skills.
After reviewing today's battle, Lu Yu felt there were still many shortcomings.
For instance, although Little Spider's silk had good hardness, her control wasn't flexible enough.
It could only be used for simple piercing and smashing. If she could control it more finely, she could construct stable structures to increase the hardness of the Spider Silk Shield.
The same was true for her Void power. Due to insufficient proficiency, she could only open a Void Fissure at close range for herself to dodge attacks.
But what if she opened an unstable Void Fissure under the enemy?
Couldn't she then use the resulting Void Turbulence from the collapsing void to attack directly? Even pet beasts with powerful defenses would be easily torn to shreds in the face of a Spatial Storm.
Aside from the Void Matriarch's Nest, which had yet to birth any Slave Beasts, and the Rending Demon Eye, which was unsuitable for regular use, all her other skills were used crudely.
According to skill proficiency, there were six levels: Entry-level, Proficient, Expert, Perfect, Pinnacle of Perfection, and Transcendent.
The higher the proficiency, the greater the skill's power.
It could even form a Combination Skill, allowing mid to high-tier skills to possess power comparable to super-tier skills.
Pinnacle of Perfection could grant a skill special effects, and Transcendent could even elevate the skill's grade.
The last level, however, was so difficult that almost no one could achieve it.
Although Little Spider had a very high starting point and top-tier Overlord potential, aside from 【Mind's Eye Soul-Controlling Sword】, which had reached the Proficient-level thanks to the Heavenly Nun's inherited memories, most of her other skills were only at the Entry-level, leaving enormous room for improvement.
Thinking of this, Lu Yu called over Little Spider, who had just finished her work. Looking at her obedient appearance, he was momentarily at a loss for words.
After all, Little Spider had just been born and had already endured constant battles, defending him even on an empty stomach, and had just defeated the Ghostface Curse Frog despite being at a lower rank.
'Should I criticize her for not performing well enough just now?'
Lu Yu hesitated, but the Nightmare could strike at any moment.
He could only do everything in his power to become stronger.
If they failed, both he and Little Spider could die.
Moreover, he couldn't ask for official help with this matter. The Nightmare Seal would inevitably expose the secret of having gazed upon a taboo, revealing the existence of the Key of Truth.
He didn't dare to gamble!
Just as he was agonizing over it, he felt a delicate touch on the fingers of his right hand.
Looking up, he saw that Little Spider had appeared by his side at some point.
She reached out, held his thumb, lifted it gently, and rubbed her fair, jade-like cheek against it, saying obediently:
"Ying ying!"
'All worries can be left for her to bear.'
'As long as Master is happy, she will be happy too.
'
At that moment, Lu Yu felt his heart stop for a second, as if he had been unintentionally charmed.
'What a Little Angel!'
It was precisely for this reason that he needed to work even harder, to take Little Spider to see more beautiful scenery.
Lu Yu patted Little Spider's head, then replayed today's battle through the dreamscape and voiced all of his opinions.
Little Spider's expression was a little dejected at first, but after hearing her master's analysis, she became thoughtful.
A resolute look appeared on her face as she nodded, indicating that she would work hard.
Lu Yu sat cross-legged, preparing to increase his spiritual power through meditation, while Little Spider began to temper her skills within the dreamscape.
Lu Yu emptied his consciousness, able to feel the dense points of spiritual light floating around him. He could absorb them with a mere thought, and after they were converted by Little Spider's spirituality, they were then absorbed by him.
It was quite interesting, like playing a game of Snake.
Because he had an Overlord cub as a Filter, coupled with his own forbidden Rank, he didn't need to worry about Aberration even when devouring large amounts of spirituality.
In just one night, the color of his faint red Red Copper Spirituality had deepened considerably.
"At this rate, I'll advance to Mid-tier Red Copper in a day or two!"
A look of pleasant surprise on his face, Lu Yu then saw Little Spider using a single strand of silk to weave a picture of a Peach Blossom Forest.
Because the laws of the dreamscape were currently too different from reality, it was impossible to train control over space-type power, so the first thing to train was control over her silk.
However, as she constantly added more details, the difficulty of manipulating the silk picture grew higher and higher, and fine beads of sweat appeared on Little Spider's forehead.
Snap!
With a moment of lost focus, the picture woven from silk instantly collapsed, turning into a tangled ball of yarn. A look of disappointment appeared on Little Spider's face.
Although she wanted to improve her skill proficiency, she couldn't find the right direction and could only practice aimlessly.
There was definitely progress, but the efficiency wasn't high.
Moreover, after experiencing failure, Little Spider's fighting spirit was clearly dampened. Feeling wronged, she immediately turned her head away, not wanting her master to see, and continued to train.
But if this went on, the effectiveness of her training would only diminish.
"Do I have to find a tutor for Little Spider?"
Lu Yu was troubled.
After purchasing the materials needed for the Skill Secret Food, the rest of his money was about to run out.
And this was after fleecing the school's wool and using the Peach Pigs' dreams as fodder; otherwise, he would be even poorer.
This was after choosing mid-range items. If he had gone for the high-end ones, he probably couldn't have afforded even a fraction of the cost.
Furthermore, the one-on-one courses from a Professional Beast Taming Tutor were exorbitantly priced. A single session costing several thousand to ten thousand was normal, and a Space-type expert was even rarer—it might not be possible to hire a professional tutor even for over a hundred thousand.
Lu Yu miserably discovered that his current savings couldn't even afford a single lesson. When he had more pet beasts in the future, how was he supposed to raise them?
Beast Tamer is truly a money-burning profession!
Especially the Peach Pig Project; even if he started breeding, cultivating, and selling them now, it would be at least a year before he saw any dividends.
"Looks like I need to find some new projects, or take on some missions and moonlight as a bounty hunter to make money…"
Lu Yu felt helpless. The dignified master of the Key of Truth, wielding a bug-like ability like the Eye of Truth, with a forbidden-level alternate identity, 【Primeval Shadow】, was still a penniless pauper in reality.
If word got out, people would die of laughter.
Thinking of this, Lu Yu prepared to use the Eye of Truth to find some projects, or sell a few evolution paths…
"Wait, I'm an idiot!"
Lu Yu slapped his forehead, suddenly realizing he possessed the Eye of Truth, which could see through the information of all things and present it as data.
So why not try to make a…
Proficiency Template!
And hand-craft a System!
