Beast Taming Patrol

“I won’t say whether you can do this or not,” Li Hong’s voice paused slightly, “if you want to achieve better training results, it’s best not to know the situations in the other channels beforehand.”

“Alright, dismissed!” After tucking the shielding device back into his march pack, Li Hong turned and left, leaving the puzzled members of Xing Yun’s squad behind.

“I was actually planning to share with you the experience of the two channels I’ve been through…” Zhang Xiaoyu couldn’t help but scratch his head, “So now, do you still want to hear it?”

“No!” Everyone shook their heads without hesitation.

“Let’s go, it’s time to head to the cafeteria,” Lin Su smiled, “it’s best to rely on one’s own skills when tackling the channels.”

Having passed through two channels, he had already received the additional meal coupons issued by Li Hong. Thinking of the roasted lamb leg and garlic pork ribs for lunch, Lin Su, who had trained all morning, was now ravenous.

“Let’s go, let’s go, time to eat!”

…

After a satisfying meal, everyone went back to their dorms for a noon rest.

Except for Lin Su.

The more than an hour at noon was exceedingly precious to him, so Lin Su didn’t dare to waste it. As soon as he entered the dormitory, he quickly walked to the bathroom, filled the tub with a full bath of warm water, and took out the bottle of body hardening fluid.

“It’s okay, I’ll start with one drop and gradually increase the dosage.” Seeing the nervous and worried gazes of his two pets, Lin Su gave a wry smile, undressed from his combat suit and sat down in the tub.

Then, he took a deep breath.

Lin Su had only heard about the pain of body hardening but had never felt it.

Since the body in this world of martial arts had already undergone this stage, touching the body hardening fluid again wouldn’t cause any sensation, just like coming into contact with clear water. Therefore, Lin Su couldn’t experience it in advance even if he wanted to.

But if children of only a few years old could endure it, then he as an adult shouldn’t have too big a problem.

Thinking this, he picked up the bottle of body hardening fluid on the nearby shelf, carefully opened it, and dripped a single drop into the bath.

“Drip~”

The sound of the body hardening fluid dropping into the water was clear in the silent bathroom.

The profound black body hardening fluid quickly diffused in the water of the tub, and after dilution, the color gradually changed to a deep ink green.

Lin Su placed the body hardening fluid back on the shelf, took a deep breath, and then let everything below his neck soak in the fluid.

Body hardening, begin!

Before long, he felt every inch of his skin that came into contact with the body hardening fluid begin to warm up, gradually becoming scalding, as if he was being baked under the sun, which made him somewhat uncomfortable.

But it was still far from the point Lin Su couldn’t bear.

The more the body hardening fluid was diluted, the slower the absorption rate. Since it hadn’t reached the point where he couldn’t tolerate it, Lin Su naturally wanted to increase the amount of the fluid.

He was about to reach out his hand when Qiuqiu, noticing the movement, suddenly spoke up.

“Chirp! (｡⊙‿⊙｡)” (I’ll help you!)

It picked up the body hardening fluid, imitating Lin Su’s previous action, carefully tilting the crystal bottle until another drop of the fluid fell into the tub. It then righted the bottle and placed it back where it belonged.

“Good,” Lin Su smiled and then carefully watched the situation in the tub.

With the addition of the second drop of body hardening fluid, the deep ink green liquid in the tub became even darker, eventually turning to a dark brown—the color almost identical to the body hardening fluid Lin Su had seen children use during their body hardening practice.

So, is this the concentration of the body hardening fluid that five or six-year-old children use?

Feeling his skin becoming increasingly hot, turning fiery as if it had been sunburned, Lin Su frowned slightly.

“`

The stinging sensation was even more intense than before, but still within his tolerance.

Grinding his teeth, Lin Su spoke again, “Qiuqiu, help me add another drop!”

Time waits for no one, he had to be harsh on himself.

“Mi? (๑ŏωŏ๑)” (Is it really okay?)

Qiuqiu’s eyes filled with concern as it quietly crouched at the sink, watching Lin Su anxiously.

It seemed to have seen Lin Su frown a moment ago, it must be painful, right?

If they added more, wouldn’t it become even more painful…

“It’s fine.” Meeting Qiuqiu’s worried gaze, Lin Su smiled confidently, “This level of pain is nothing.”

“Jie! (⊙∀⊙)” (Then I’m adding it!)

Qiuqiu picked up the body-strengthening liquid and, after issuing a reminder, cautiously dropped another drip.

The color of the liquid in the bathtub grew deeper, almost turning black.

At the same time, the agony, which felt like sunburn, escalated once again.

Not only was the stinging sensation stronger than before, but it was also accompanied by a tingling itchiness as if ants were crawling over his body, causing extreme discomfort.

“Ugh…”

Feeling the suddenly intensified pain, Lin Su couldn’t help but make a sound, his facial muscles twitching slightly.

Just three drops of body-strengthening liquid and he was already in such agony?

If it were only pain, maybe it would be a bit better, but the combination of pain and itchiness made it particularly unbearable.

Should he… stop here?

The thought involuntarily crossed his mind, but he quickly dismissed it.

If there was no time constraint, he naturally could proceed with the body-strengthening slowly, but in a fortnight he was due to take on the pre-camp tasks.

The current pain was to better preserve his life in the future.

With that thought, Lin Su’s resolve hardened.

“Qiuqiu, add one more drop!”

Feeling Lin Su’s determination, Qiuqiu didn’t try to persuade him any further, but its eyes grew even more worried.

Qiuqiu’s eyes carried a trace of reluctance, but still, it clenched its teeth, carefully picked up the body-strengthening liquid, and added one more drop.

The liquid in the bathtub had completely turned black, as if a deep abyss had completely swallowed Lin Su.

It felt as if countless fine needles were pricking his body, as if numerous ants were biting his flesh, the intensified pain in an instant made Lin Su’s expression turn ferocious, and streams of heat surged up, turning his unexposed face a bright red.

The body-strengthening liquid, originally at room temperature, now seemed to boil as it bubbled up, and faintly, wafts of medicinal fragrance emitted from it.

Endure…

Hold on…

Lin Su clenched his teeth and repeatedly admonished himself in his mind. Taking a deep breath under the nervous gaze of his two companion creatures, he began to endure the brutal body refinement.
