Lin Chen looked over and only then realized that the Little Fox was controlling the Flaming Storm. He felt surprised and scolded the Little Fox, "Don't joke around with this."

"Goo~~"

The Little Fox felt slightly wronged. It told Lin Chen that it wasn't trying to harm Xiao Hei but wanted Lin Chen to see something new.

Then the Little Fox controlled the Flaming Storm to return along the same path. Lin Chen initially thought the eye of the storm was just an extra controllable feature, but to his surprise, the Little Fox flicked its tail, and the Flaming Storm halted in place.

And the stake at the center of the storm was completely unharmed.

"This is...." Lin Chen finally understood, and exclaimed in surprise, "The things in the center of the storm aren't affected?"

The Little Fox nodded, intending to demonstrate this effect.

Lin Chen stepped forward, patted its head, and said, "I misunderstood you, but you should explain it to Xiao Hei."

The Little Fox made a couple of goo sounds, indicating it wouldn't happen again. The Big White Bear gently patted its head, indicating it was fine, and asked the Little Fox to try again.

The Little Fox cast the spell a second time, and just as Lin Chen had observed, the Big White Bear was enveloped by the Flaming Storm and was unharmed.

Lin Chen immediately praised the Little Fox's cleverness, saying, "You're trying to tell me this skill can also serve as protection?"

The Little Fox nodded and cooed, meaning not only for defense but also for enhancing Xiao Bai and others during battle, enabling both protection and coordinated attacks.

"Yes."

Lin Chen was delighted. The Little Fox had not only improved in power but also significantly in awareness.

"However, your control speed might not keep up with Xiao Bai's Iron Horn Impact, but it suits the Big White Bear well for cooperation," Lin Chen said.

The Little Fox nodded, agreeing with Lin Chen.

It also knew this would be quite challenging.

If the Big White Bear stood still, it was manageable.

But if it had to move, the two Spirit Beasts might not sync perfectly, and if one were too fast, it could cause injuries.

Nonetheless, this is clearly an excellent cooperative strategy.

"Let's see the World-Purifying True Flame," Lin Chen was overjoyed.

Lin Chen's three Spirit Beasts had few protective skills. Now there was one, and it appeared on the Little Fox, which was perfect.

After some rest, the Little Fox finally began the second test.

This time it was the World-Purifying True Flame.

Lin Chen's eyes were wide open, filled with anticipation, as he stared intently at the Little Fox.

It's known that the World-Purifying True Flame comes in three colors, representing its transformations: crimson red → pure gold → incandescent white.

Lin Chen realized that his Spirit Beast had one more skill tier than ordinary Spirit Beasts, so the transition from Mastery to Perfection was likely to lead to a qualitative change.

Under Lin Chen's burning gaze of anticipation, the Little Fox stood firm on its short legs, lightly flicked its tail, and instantly, a fierce flame erupted around its body.

The flame initially resembled a burning sunset at the horizon, glowing vividly crimson and radiantly.

Soon after, the flame's color began to swiftly change, as if pushed by an invisible hand, in the blink of an eye, it turned into a dazzling pure gold, like a small golden sun, exuding a scorching and powerful aura.

But the Little Fox didn't stop there, its fur standing on end, letting out a low growl, as if exerting all its might.

The fire aura around it grew even more intense and mysterious. The flame, as if alive, rolled and leaped continuously, enveloping the Little Fox entirely, showing only a vague silhouette.

Finally, under Lin Chen and the others' tense and expectant gazes, the flame color on the Little Fox changed once more.
