These two were the pets that they had left here yesterday, but the aura that they gave off was completely different.
The biggest difference was that they had broken through three minor realms to reach the peak of the Embryo Soul Realm. Each major realm in the Soul Realm was definitely a large gap, but that didn't mean that it was easy to break through minor realms either. Just the minor realms alone were gaps that were like the difference between heaven and earth.
It would take years just for an expert in the Embryo Soul Realm to make a breakthrough to the next minor realm. Even for geniuses, it would take at least a few months to make a breakthrough if they didn't encounter a fortuitous encounter.
But now these pets had actually broken through three minor realms in just a single night.
How was this even possible?
While everyone else started to realize the change with the two pets, Qiao Yi Fei and Mao Tao both looked at Lin Fan with shocked looks.
Finally after a moment of silence, Qiao Yi Fei asked Lin Fan with a strange look, "How did you do it? Are these even still our pets?"
Lin Fan looked at her with a strange look as well and asked, "Can't you tell by the connection? How could I have faked that?"
That was right, the two of them could feel the special connection that they had with the two pets in front of them. When an expert took a beast on as a pet, they created a contract which would establish a connection between both sides.
As long as that contract wasn't broken or if neither side was dead, they would be able to sense each other through this connection.
This connection couldn't be faked unless there was an expert who specialized in soul arts because this was a connection that was formed on the soul level.
They didn't believe that someone as young as Lin Fan would be able to do that.
The two pets had been grasping their owners legs and had been hiding behind them, cautiously staring at Lin Fan the entire time. From time to time, they had been also looking at the door that led to the back with a longing look, as if there was something back there that they wanted.
Lin Fan looked at the two pets and asked, "They also learned a few skills, do you want to test them?"
Both of the girls were surprised when they heard this as they said together, "Skills, you also taught them skills?"
Lin Fan nodded and then said, "We have a training room here that you can use, but there is a fee for using it each time."
Qiao Yi Fei slightly knitted her brows as she asked, "How much?"
Lin Fan casually said, "It's not that expensive, it's only ten spirit stones."
The people around them couldn't help cursing at Lin Fan for saying that it was "only" ten spirit stones.
Did he not know just how much each spirit stone was worth?
Even a Fragmented Soul Realm Expert would find themselves well off if they could earn ten spirit stones a year. Now he was charging this amount just to use a single training room?
There were people who wanted to curse him out, but it wasn't their right to do so.
Qiao Yi Fei and Mao Tao thought about it before giving a nod.
They both took out ten spirit stones each and handed them over to Lin Fan who took them without any hesitation.
The two of them came from big families in the Hunters Organization, so there was no need for them to ever worry about money.
Just when it came to old man Qiao alone, if he was willing to cook a meal, there would be plenty of people who would be willing to pay him large amounts of spirit stones for that meal.
After Lin Fan received their spirit stones, he led them over to where an elevator had been hidden behind a shelf. Pushing a button on the wall, the shelf automatically moved out of the way and revealed the elevator that was waiting behind it.
Lin Fan pressed a button by the elevator door and with a "ding", it opened to reveal a small elevator.
Since it was a small elevator, there was enough space for Lin Fan, the girls, and several other people, but no one dared to go in the elevator with them when they saw Qiao Yi Fei's cold stare. They had no choice but to wait for the next one.
The elevator didn't take long to get to the second floor and when they came out, there was a giant arena that appeared in front of them.
The three girls were shocked because they didn't understand how such a large arena was able to fit inside of this shop because this arena far exceeded the area that the shop occupied. Logically, it shouldn't have been able to fit inside of this shop.
Lin Fan ignored them and came over to the control panel for the arena, opening up the door on the side that led in.
Qiao Yi Fei and Mao Tao looked at each other before going into the arena.
At this time, there were people who had already arrived on the second floor as well, reacting the same way as the three girls had done earlier.
Once the two of them were inside of the arena, Lin Fan closed the door and said through the speakers, "What kind of environment and what kind of enemies do you want?"
Both of them were confused when they heard this and this time, Mao Tao was the one to ask, "Owner Lin, what do you mean by that?"
Lin Fan casually explained, "This is a state of the art arena with the special ability to simulate different environments and opponents. You can just tell me what kind of environment you want to fight in and what level of opponents or what kind of opponents you want to face."
Both of them were visibly confused and it was clear that neither of them believed what he said since they had never heard of this technology before, but Qiao Yi Fei impatiently said, "Just give us some enemies, you can choose whatever you want."
Lin Fan just gave an "un" sound before pressing the randomize button.
As soon as he pressed the button, the environment inside of the arena started to change.
There were trees that suddenly appeared all around the two girls and the pets that they had summoned out again after putting them away since the elevator was too small. Before they even knew what happened, there was a forest that had suddenly appeared around them.
As far as they could tell, this was just like a forest on the outside and didn't seem like a simulation at all.
As they were getting used to their environment, there was a sudden movement from the trees around them. Both of them released their spiritual senses and they quickly realized that they had been surrounded.
From what they could sense, these enemies around them all seemed to be in the peak Embryo Soul Realm and there were over ten of them around them.
For Mao Tao who was in the Child Soul Realm, this wasn't hard, but this was definitely a hard fight for Qiao Yi Fei who was in the peak Embryo Soul Realm.
As the enemies around them approached, the two girls pulled out their weapons to prepare to fight. However, before they could engage, Lin Fan's voice suddenly cut in by saying, "What are the two of you doing?"
The girls were surprised to hear Lin Fan's voice because they couldn't sense anything outside of this forest, so they had no idea what was out there. But Qiao Yi Fei still said, "We're surrounded by enemies, so we're getting ready to fight. Is there something wrong with that?"
Lin Fan gave a sigh before saying, "Then why are you choosing to fight yourself? Isn't this a test for your pets? What would be the meaning if you fought yourselves?"
The two girls both said, "Eh?"
Then Mao Tao said, "But Owner Lin, our pets are only in the peak Embryo Soul Realm as well and they just broke through to this realm, so they should be weaker than normal beasts in the same realm. Not to mention that they are outnumbered. How can they win like this?"
Lin Fan gave a soft snort before saying, "Your pets are much stronger than you think. Just let them do the fighting, they'll know what to do."
Once again, both girls said, "Eh?" However, they chose to follow Lin Fan's instructions in the end by sending out their pets to fight.
The two pets were scared at first since they had been fighting wisps that were much stronger than them the entire time, but then when they sensed that their enemies were just at this level, both of them charged out without any fear. They had been completely surrounded, so they charged out in two different directions, one going forward and one going backwards.
As soon as the enemies around them saw the two charging out, they also jumped down from the trees to attack these two pets. Once they were out of the trees, their true appearances were revealed to show that they were a bunch of apes.
As these pets and beasts charged at each other, at the moment of collision, the pets suddenly blasted right through these beasts with their attacks.
In just a single move, Lin Fan had established the fame of his store because the abilities of these pets couldn't be faked.
