The others all looked at Lu Ke with envy.

After all, they also wanted to break through their level.

"These berries can enhance our telekinesis. I think you should give it a try," Lu Ke said, then took out a handful of red berries.

This time, however, she ate them slowly, savoring each one carefully.

Because she knew that even if she ate them all at once, it wouldn’t be possible to reach the level of a 4th-level mage. So, it was better to enjoy them as a delicious snack, tasting them slowly.

"Set up camp and test the effects," Xu Yi said as he jumped off the back of the Black Qilin.

He did sense that these berries could refresh the mind, but didn’t expect that they could also enhance abilities.

Lu Ke added, "Oh, remember to practice Xu Yi’s modified Mixed Element Skill."

About a month ago, Xu Yi had improved the Mixed Element Skill, borrowing some aspects from the Spiritual Meditation Method. Though the effect wasn’t as good as the Spiritual Meditation Method, Lu Ke thought it was still quite beneficial.

After getting off their mounts, everyone began devouring the red berries furiously instead of setting up camp.

Why set up camp when they could break through to a 3rd-level mage first?

Each of them had about ten pounds of berries, and they ate them all. A few hours later, Qin Fan broke through.

Then it was Lu Yao and Zhou Chun, but the others weren’t as fast.

Later, Xu Yi and Lu Ke contributed their remaining berries, giving each person another two pounds.

Unfortunately, the rest were just a bit short of making the breakthrough.

However, they were already on the brink of breaking through; it could happen at any moment. 𝑓𝘳𝘦𝑒𝑤𝑒𝘣𝘯ℴ𝘷𝘦𝓁.𝑐𝑜𝑚

In the observation spaceship, Number 6 also collected the berries Xu Yi had discovered. Through testing, they found it could indeed enhance telekinesis. However, compared to the meat of an 8th-level Fierce Beast, it was far less effective, only beneficial for mages below the 3rd level.

This berry is suitable for those who have just awakened their telekinesis.

So when Number 6 reported to Ling Qi, Ling Qi didn’t react much.

Having four 3rd-level mages in the team still made Xu Yi quite happy.

This way, even if they encountered a 3rd-level Fierce Beast, they wouldn’t have to worry too much and could handle it.

As it was getting late, they decided to set up camp right away.

Those who hadn’t broken through continued to practice, while Lu Ke and Lu Yao, who had broken through, started preparing dinner.

Xu Yi circled the area with ease, discovering a relatively valuable plant and several of its kind, which he then sent to his Storage Space.

Upon returning to the camp, Xu Yi found a Fierce Beast attacking the camp.

This Fierce Beast had two tails, standing upright, looking quite ferocious.

Lu Ke, Lu Yao, Qin Fan, and Zhou Chun controlled their Telekinesis Arrows, continuously attacking the dark red Scale Armor of the Fierce Beast, but they couldn’t penetrate its defense.

This situation surprised Xu Yi a bit.

After all, the four of them were already 3rd-level mages, yet they couldn’t take down a 3rd-level Fierce Beast immediately?

"How long have you been attacking?" Xu Yi asked, not planning to intervene yet.

However, he had already readied three arrows in front of him, ready to attack the 3rd-level Fierce Beast at any time.

Lu Ke managed to reply amidst the flurry, "Not even two minutes, we just started."

Xu Yi’s return made her feel reassured. Qin Fan’s 3rd-level Fierce Beast brain crystal wouldn’t be wasted.

Xu Yi nodded, glanced at the Star Chart, and continued to remain on alert on the side.

After five minutes, Lu Ke’s arrow pierced through the defense and embedded itself into the Fierce Beast’s body. However, she lost control of the arrow as it got stuck.

Then, Lu Ke’s second arrow emerged from the Star Chart.

Following suit, Qin Fan’s, Lu Yao’s, and Zhou Chun’s arrows also penetrated the defense and hit the Fierce Beast’s body. But without exception, they all got stuck out.

The 3rd-level Fierce Beast was far more powerful than expected.

When they were at level 2, they could easily hunt down a single 2nd-level Fierce Beast by themselves.

Now at level 3, four of them couldn’t take down a single 3rd-level Fierce Beast even after five minutes?

After the second arrow shot through, it finally pierced the Fierce Beast’s body and posed a lethal threat to it.

"Xu Yi, are all 3rd-level Fierce Beasts this fierce?" Lu Ke retrieved her two arrows, glancing at Xu Yi with some concern. Could they continue to operate in this area?

Xu Yi explained, "No, this particular Fierce Beast is probably close to breaking through to level 4. It’s much stronger than the average 3rd-level Fierce Beast."

In reality, this Fierce Beast was still quite far from breaking through to level 4. However, it was indeed stronger than typical 3rd-level Fierce Beasts.

Xu Yi didn’t want to discourage them, especially since they had only just reached the level of 3rd-level mages today.

If Xu Yi intervened, he could take its life with two shots.

The Fierce Beast lay on the ground, blood incessantly flowing from its wound.

However, it wasn’t dead, as its vital spots hadn’t been hit.

Xu Yi didn’t intend to let it die immediately, as its telekinesis had been exhausted and needed time to recover. Otherwise, its brain crystal would be useless.

Usually, they should be able to live in the 3rd-level Fierce Beast active area for a while, longer than in the 2nd-level Fierce Beast active area.

After all, breaking through to 4th-level mage would be slower.

Unless Xu Yi could find something more potent than the red berries they ate today, that could indeed speed up their progress.

However, such things aren’t easily encountered.

After hearing Xu Yi’s explanation, Lu Ke and the others sighed in relief.

If all 3rd-level Fierce Beasts were this strong, it would indeed be a significant blow to them.

After all, this is only a 3rd-level Fierce Beast, what if it’s level 4 or level 5, could they handle it?

days, is it still possible to achieve?

"Alright, go cook. I’ll keep watch over it, and when its telekinesis recovers, I’ll kill it," Xu Yi said, then moved the Fierce Beast to a spot several dozen meters from the camp.

Then, Xu Yi sat cross-legged next to it.

Tame!

Xu Yi used a Taming Skill on it, after all, he was a 3rd-level Divine Master now and wanted to see if he could tame a 3rd-level Fierce Beast.

After using a Taming Skill, Xu Yi realized that taming a 3rd-level Fierce Beast was quite difficult.

The success rate to tame this Fierce Beast was one in a thousand.

A very straightforward prompt, which came from the system.

Xu Yi noticed a data hint.

This prompt obviously couldn’t be from the Star Chart, so it must have been from the system.

However, Xu Yi felt puzzled.

Had the system upgraded, or had his own power increased, granting him greater system access?

Unfortunately, the system’s Q&A function was turned off.

Just after noticing the prompt, Xu Yi asked the system in his mind but didn’t receive any response.
