Chapter 28

“I…” The bald crow stopped talking.

Had anyone practiced in its dreams?

Were there any past cases?

He was the first person daring enough to make such a request.

The bald crow sneaked a glance at Bai Ye. There was no way it could defeat him, and it would be beaten if it scolded him. What else could it do?

Forget it, Bai Ye was its Beast Tamer, so it should preserve his dignity.

The bald crow rolled its eyes and looked at the room next door.

A smirk appeared at the corner of its mouth, and it glanced back at Bai Ye.

“I will go out for a stroll. I won’t go far.” After speaking, the bald crow turned into a cloud of gray mist and disappeared on the spot.

Bai Ye glanced inwardly at the Tamed Beast Space.

It was empty.

Where was it?

Bai Ye frowned. However, the school campus was very safe. Since that fellow had a mysterious life-saving ability, he would allow it to move freely.

Bai Ye closed his eyes as he continued to meditate cross-legged.

However, this time, Bai Ye was forced to stop meditating after a short while and opened his eyes.

He turned his head and looked at the room next door. Through the interaction between the soul contract, Bai Ye sensed that the bald crow was in that room.

In the room next door…

A young lady in a white yoga suit was sitting cross-legged on the ground.

Meditation could replace rest but was not tantamount to sleeping.

It was like letting go of all thoughts spiritually.

It was the process of connecting with the surrounding heaven and earth and absorbing the essence of heaven and earth to strengthen the soul.

Therefore, meditation was boring.

However, some people felt that moderate meditation was not boring, but a pastime and a form of relaxation.

The young lady with her eyes closed suddenly lowered her head.

Her head drooped slightly, and she fell asleep without knowing it.

In the dream, part of the young lady’s spirit intellect was blinded. Although there were some unreasonable parameters, she still automatically ignored them.

The young lady constantly guided her tamed beast as it fought against the enemy in the arena.

She had always kept this secret wish of hers to herself. She had grown up in a strict household after all. As far as she knew, duels between Beast Tamers only existed on television.

However, right now, one was within her reach.

It was just that… there seemed to be an endless number of monsters in the arena. After killing one monster, there was yet another monster to fight.

Normally, there should be a short period of rest after victory.

Why did she have no time to rest?

Perhaps the resting time was too short…

As her brain activity became more and more active, her mental strength kept flowing outward.

It spread outward along the cerebral cortex and was swallowed by illusory dreams.

On the other side, the aura of the Lord of Eternal Nightmare that lurked in the void steadily grew.

It felt refreshing along with the growing aura.

“What a relaxing dream.” The Lord of Eternal Nightmare turned its eyes upward.

Its body trembled slightly.

It seemed to be shivering.

Meanwhile, its aura gradually increased.

The Lord of Eternal Nightmare was slowly breaking through to higher levels.

Iron two-star, iron three-star, iron four-star.

It was finally stabilized when it stopped at the iron four-star level.

On the other side, Bai Ye felt a cool sensation coming from the soul contract. His expression turned gloomy.

What the hell was the crow up to?!

It could easily break through to higher levels.

Hopefully, it would not cause any trouble.

When a tamed beast broke through to another level, there would be a slight increase in the Beast Tamer’s strength. However, it would be a negligible improvement compared to the improvement of the tamed beast itself. Even so, this was still considered an extra benefit for the Beast Tamer.

Bai Ye’s mental strength was already at the platinum level. The improvement of the iron-level soul strength was insignificant to him. However, it was still a real and useful benefit.

Bai Ye looked to the other side and quickly recalled the Lord of Eternal Nightmare through the soul contract.

“What did you just do? We are in the city. Don’t cause trouble and don’t hurt people.” Bai Ye frowned. Initially, he had thought that it was only an iron one-star monster and would not cause any trouble even if it was out for a while. However, it had broken through to the iron four-star level in no time.

“I was eating dreams,” said the bald crow. “I know what I am doing. I will definitely not kill anyone. I merely devoured some dreams.”

Sensing the sharp glare in Bai Ye’s eyes, the bald crow revealed more details.

“Perhaps there’s only a slight change. This has no effect on her. At most, she wasted one day of meditation. Besides, she didn’t see me.”

“You… In the future, you are not allowed to go into other people’s dreams without my permission.” Bai Ye sighed, preparing to go to the person next door to apologize and compensate her.

After all, he was in the wrong.

There were no grievances or grudges between them. It would not be good to make her waste one day of meditation.

However, Bai Ye stopped when he reached the door.

If he did what he planned, he would reveal the existence of the bald crow to an outsider.

This would be troublesome.

The bald crow had mysterious abilities. If it was reported, it would definitely be given special attention.

After all, it could enter people’s dreams.

Although there were other monsters with dream attributes on the Obsidian Planet, no other monster could enter dreams.

Among the known monsters on the Obsidian Planet, the bald crow’s ability was considered one of a kind.

Forget it, he would just discover her identity.

If there was a chance in the future, he would make it up to her secretly.

“Are you sure this only affects one day of meditation and there are no other side effects?”

“I am the one who devours dreams, so I know very well the effects it has. You are really indecisive.” The bald crow was a little unhappy.

It had only eaten some dreams. There was no need to kick up a fuss.

It had not killed anyone. It had only gently eaten some dreams.

“If people don’t offend me, I won’t offend them. This has nothing to do with indecision.” Bai Ye frowned. He was silent for a moment before he said, “Can you only become powerful by absorbing dreams?”

“I can advance to another level through natural absorption. However, the progress is very slow. The effect of eating dreams today was so much better than training for 10 days,” the bald crow said.

Bai Ye had just meditated for about half an hour.

He silently calculated in his mind. It was no wonder it had been able to break through so quickly in such a short time. The crux of the training talent of this race seemed to be eating dreams.

Bai Ye made some other inquiries and found out that it did not have to eat all the dreams at once. It focused on absorbing the mental strength of others during strenuous activities in a dream.

The dream was just a medium.

It was also like a bag. Normally, people would dream.

Being active in a dream would naturally consume one’s mental strength.

However, this consumption of mental strength was very limited.

The natural ability of the Lord of Eternal Nightmare was to induce consumption. When it sneaked into someone’s dream, the same dream would result in a higher consumption of mental strength. The dream was just a natural bag that contained all the scattered mental strength.

By devouring dreams, it was simply devouring the mental strength consumed in the dreams.

It would get stronger by absorbing mental strength.

In the room next door, the young lady in the yoga clothes opened her eyes blankly. Her brows were slightly frowned and her eyelids were heavy as she rubbed her body. Her waist was sore, and her back was in pain.

‘Weren’t I meditating? Why did I suddenly fall asleep?’

Hiss—

She sucked in her breath, rubbing her sore arms and thighs.

She yawned yet again, feeling sleepy.

“Is this an illusion?” The young lady murmured to herself.

“How can I feel worse than when I’m not meditating? Is it because I hurt my body by meditating too much? It is no wonder the teacher always tells us that too much is as bad as not enough.”

The young lady got up, took a loose coat from the hanger, and put it on. She put on a hat, had some water, and opened the door to leave.

Bai Ye heard the sound from next door and also picked up his belongings.

The two of them looked at each other.

Bai Ye turned and left as usual.

Although the young lady wondered why Bai Ye would end his meditation at the same time as she had, she did not think much about it.
