Weakest Beast Tamer Gets All SSS Dragons novel Chapter 958

Chapter 958: Chapter 958 - Taming His Core - 3

Selthia had gotten to her feet.

"That nice body of yours doesn’t do much for you in here, so lovely yet useless you know." Not cruel or mocking tone. Just like a data point she was sharing, mono-tone the way someone mentions the weather before deciding whether to bring a coat.

He breathed. Not because the oxygen mattered, in this space that was a concept open to debate, but because he needed the two seconds it took to do it correctly. Full breath in, slow breath out. The kind Lin had made him practice until it was reflex, back when he thought it was just a breathing exercise and before he understood it was the reset button she was actually installing.

Lin’s first rule: ’build the foundation.’

The body is the foundation that everything else sits on. Without a real foundation, the bonuses have a low ceiling. It’s not just the bonus that matters. It’s what the bonus is multiplying.

The mushroom’s light was still there, faint, slowly reconstructing the casing around the seed. His first beast needed to sleep. He had understood that. Forcing it again would be the kind of mistake that didn’t get corrected easily, the kind you paid for in a currency that wasn’t just mana.

He breathed it in the way he’d learned to breathe in, not grabbing for it, just opening the channel and letting it find him.

The first bonus of his first beast opened.

Not what he needed... But more than he’d had thirty seconds ago.

This time Selthia registered the difference before he arrived. He saw it in the small postural adjustment she made as he closed the distance, worry, a shift in weight, a slight change in how her hands were positioned, the half-second where her expression moved from passive observation to something closer to active attention.

Same pattern of attack.

"Plenty of strength and speed," he said. "But your technique is zero and your movement has huge gaps."

"There are many more important variables," he said, breathing through the sentence. "My teacher covers all of them."

"You’re faster than before," she conceded. "But only by a margin, you shouldn’t be able to..."

The punch landed.

The purple-diamond scales absorbed the impact without acknowledgment, without so much as a sound. Like hitting a mountain.

Her counter arrived while he was still between positions. He covered, barely, but the blow caught his side and drove him back several meters.
