Chapter 51

Skill Sharing

Looking at the corpse-controlling ghost that had vanished into thin air, a look of shock flashed across Lingling's face.

"I was just saying, but I didn't expect your summoned beast to actually have a deterrent skill. This kind of ability usually appears in high-level summoned beasts. Your servant-level summoned beast has this ability, so its bloodline must be extraordinary."

"Gilmon is a dragon-type summon." Lin Chen didn't hide anything and stated it simply and clearly.

"A servant-level dragon form, this is truly the first time I've seen one," Lingling muttered, her interest in Guilmon rekindled.

After confirming that the undead in the shopping mall had been dealt with by them, Lin Chen immediately made a call to the man who had made the request, told him the result, and then took Lingling back to the Qingtian Hunting Grounds.

Three days later, after receiving the remaining two million in payment, Qingtian Hunting Agency immediately transferred one and a half million to Lin Chen.

This made Lin Chen sigh again, "High-end private hunting lodges are really awesome. They make money from the rich and powerful so fast."

……

Time flies like an arrow; life is fleeting.

In the blink of an eye, Lin Chen had been at the Azure Sky Hunter's Den for four months. During this time, he successfully raised both Guilmon and Gabumon to the level of Junior Warrior by using the spoils he had obtained from killing the Giant Crocodile and Winged Wolf.

On this day, after completing a request with Lingling, Lin Chen sensed a slight change in his summoning stardust.

The moonlight shimmering on the stardust flickered, sometimes bright and sometimes dim. A faint veil of light enveloped the stardust, while the inner radiance seemed to try to break through the veil.

Lin Chen knew that it was time for him to break through.

After telling Lingling, Lin Chen returned to his room, found the Nebula Fruit he had obtained earlier, and then sat down cross-legged.

After swallowing and refining the Nebula Fruit, Lin Chen discovered that his summoning stardust had reached a critical point. The entire stardust was constantly flashing with moonlight, continuously impacting the stardust barrier.

However, Lin Chen did not immediately begin his breakthrough, but instead meditated to bring himself to his optimal state.

Then, Lin Chen entered his own spiritual world and began to break through his cultivation barrier.

Lin Chen focused all his spiritual power on one thing, instead of letting it disperse and attack his cultivation barrier.

Once Lin Chen had finished gathering his strength, all the energy in his spiritual world surged forth like a raging sea, carrying earth-shattering power, rushing towards the barrier that imprisoned his cultivation.

Before the Summoning Stardust could even retaliate against Lin Chen's mind, the immense impact shattered the Stardust Barrier, instantly breaking the light barrier surrounding it.

The summoned stardust rapidly spread and spun, transforming into a nebula shimmering with moonlight, within which forty-nine stars danced about.

"Summoning Nebula! I've finally reached the intermediate level."

Lin Chen was overjoyed. Reaching the intermediate level meant he could awaken his second magic type and possess new magic. He wouldn't have to hide behind his Digimon anymore; he could go up and wreak havoc.

Just as Lin Chen was considering which magic type to awaken as his second magic type at the Awakening Room, the system's notification shattered his fantasy.

"Congratulations on advancing to the intermediate level mage. Since you became a summoning mage through this system, you will not be qualified to awaken another type of magic after advancing. You can only increase your Digimon summoning quota based on your cultivation level."

Instantly, the excitement in Lin Chen's heart was extinguished by the cold water poured on him by the system.

Although summoning an extra Digimon can increase one's strength, hiding in the back is nothing compared to standing in the front and wreaking havoc.

Moreover, summoning mages themselves have no combat ability. If their summoned beasts are too far away and cannot come to their side to protect them in time, they are easily ambushed and may even lose their lives.

Thinking of this, Lin Chen couldn't help but ask the system, "Can't I have my own combat abilities?"

The system was silent for a moment, then the mechanical notification sounded again, but this time it was like heavenly music to Lin Chen.

"Prompt: After the host advances to the intermediate level of magician, in addition to obtaining three Digimon in sequence according to the level of cultivation, you will also gain two special abilities."

"Ability 1, Miniaturization: The size of the Digimon summoned by the host can be reduced by ten to a hundred times."

"Note: The strength of Digimon in their shrunk state will be affected, but they can directly revert to their original size and restore their original strength during battle."

"Ability 2, Skill Sharing: The host can share the skills of Digimon, and can release Digimon skills by drawing a star map."

"Prompt: The host's current summoning magic level is intermediate level one, and can share one skill."

Lin Chen's eyes immediately lit up.

Leaving aside miniaturization, this is a skill that allows Digimon to pretend to be weak while actually being powerful.

The main thing is that this skill sharing feature really addresses Lin Chen's urgent needs. After asking around a few times, Lin Chen understood what the system meant.

There are three levels of intermediate-level summoning magic, and Lin Chen can share the skills of three Digimon that are no more than two levels higher than himself.

For each level Lin Chen gains in his intermediate-level summoning magic, he gains an additional shared skill, and the skill's power increases accordingly with the magic's level.

Without delay, Lin Chen immediately followed the system's prompts and shared Tyrannosaurus's ultimate move, [Super Flame], with himself.

The moment he successfully shared the information, Lin Chen sensed that as long as he could successfully draw the Summoning Star Chart, he could use it to release [Super Flame], and the [Super Flame] he released would not affect the state of Tyrannomon.

……

After gaining the ability to share skills, Lin Chen began to practice controlling it.

At first, Lin Chen wanted to buy a Summoning Star Chart for control training, but he soon discovered that the star chart depicted to release super flames using the Summoning Star Chart was different from ordinary Summoning Star Charts.

Helpless, Lin Chen could only control the star map engraved in his mind by the system. Lin Chen, who had easily mastered the "one thought, one path" technique with the help of the system, finally understood the difficulty of controlling the star. Even with the help of the system, Lin Chen still had a headache.

And so, Lin Chen began his arduous life of cultivation, controlling the stars, arranging star orbits, and drawing star maps.

However, Lin Chen's lifestyle made Lingling feel depressed. Without Lin Chen's assistance, Lingling was simply unable to complete the commission on her own.

Ultimately, Lin Chen and Lingling obtained beast-taming permits for Gabumon and Guilmon through their connections at the Azure Sky Hunting Grounds.

Lingling led Gabumon and Guilmon to complete the task, while Lin Chen stayed at home, sometimes meditating with the ring and sometimes practicing control with the star map in his mind.
