Frontline? I think it's okay!

During his strike, Lin Mo spent his days feeling both stifled and idle.

What felt stifling was watching his path of evolution seemingly hit a hard wall; that feeling of having power but nowhere to use it drove the tiger crazy. What felt idle was finally not having to face those annoying cameras and instructions. Every day, aside from eating (though the ordinary Advanced Beast Soldier meat was unsatisfactory) and sleeping, he spent his time flapping his wings in the training room, honing Lightning Strike, and engaging in live combat practice with Wang Keke.

His understanding of his own strength also became increasingly clear during this period. After breaking through to the Advanced Beast Soldier rank, his physical attributes improved in every aspect. The defense of Tough Skin became stronger, the power of Power Burst became more ferocious, and the newly acquired Lightning Strike allowed his short-range burst speed to reach a terrifying level, especially when combined with his low-altitude flight ability, which he could now skillfully use in actual combat...

It's not that I'm bragging, but with my current configuration, fighting two or three versions of myself from a month ago probably wouldn't be a problem.

Wang Keke's progress was equally astonishing. Under the control of her spiritual power, her four Flying Daggers were like venomous snakes possessing life; their trajectories were tricky and as fast as lightning, enough to give the vast majority of Warrior Rank martial artists a massive headache. The coordination between the girl and the tiger also became increasingly tacit. Their mental link meant their actions required almost no words; with a single thought, their offensive would unfold like a tidal wave.

During a routine sparring session with Wang Keke and her two veteran Warrior Rank bodyguards, Lin Mo completely let himself go.

When the primary attacking bodyguard swung his alloy battle blade, slashing down with a sharp, wind-tearing sound, Lin Mo did not resist head-on. The muscles in his four limbs tensed instantly, and he activated Power Burst!

"Whoosh!"

Only a faint golden afterimage remained in place. His true form had already appeared behind the bodyguard like a ghost, and his tiger claws, wrapped in Tough Skin, swiped toward the man's wrist with a fierce gust of wind. The bodyguard was shocked and hurriedly changed his move to block, but he felt a numbness in his wrist, and his battle blade nearly slipped from his grip.

At the same time, Wang Keke's four Flying Daggers were like sharks that had smelled blood, sealing off all room for the bodyguard to dodge from four extremely tricky angles.

The other bodyguard, responsible for support, saw this and immediately stepped forward to assist, attempting to interfere with Wang Keke. A sharp glint flashed in Lin Mo's eyes. He violently flapped the wings on his back and skimmed across the low altitude. Although it wasn't true flight, the suddenly erupted speed and bizarre movement style instantly disrupted the supporting bodyguard's rhythm, forcing him to retreat in a sorry state as he was pressured by one of the Flying Daggers Wang Keke had diverted.

A two-on-two sparring match ultimately ended in the "narrow defeat" of the two veteran bodyguards. Although they hadn't used their full strength and had concerns about protecting the "young miss and her precious battle pet," the suppressive power displayed by Lin Mo and Wang Keke was the real deal.

The two bodyguards looked at each other, both seeing the shock in the other's eyes.

"Young Miss, Mimi... the two of you teaming up like this is probably already no weaker than an average Junior War General," the primary attacking bodyguard said with a wry smile, rubbing his numb wrist.

Wang Keke hugged Lin Mo's neck in pleasant surprise: "Really? Mimi! Are we that strong?"

Lin Mo kept his head held high with feigned reserve, accepting the petting, but his heart was already surging with waves.

Junior War General? Hmm, it seems my judgment was correct. Without realizing it, I've become a high-end combat force! Staying cooped up in the rear, struggling against those silly props and ordinary beast soldiers, is simply a waste of life!

A thought that had been brewing for a long time suddenly became clear and urgent.

The family can't get high-end ingredients? The logistics supply isn't keeping up?

Then I'll go get them myself!

That evening, taking advantage of the rare occasion when Wang Qingtian was home to check on things (mainly out of curiosity about how long Lin Mo's strike would last), Lin Mo began his "performance."

He didn't give him the cold shoulder anymore; instead, he took the initiative to nudge up to Wang Qingtian and rubbed his large head against the man's hand—the movement was slightly stiff and carried a clear sense of purpose.

For the sake of meat, I'll endure it! Just pretend I'm rubbing against a piece of pork belly!

Wang Qingtian was sharp; he immediately raised an eyebrow: "Oh? Our big star has changed his tune today? Not glaring at me anymore?"

Wang Keke chimed in with a giggle from the side: "Dad, Mimi is probably bored to death. Look at how hard he's been training lately and how fast his strength has grown. Staying in the city to film... uh, staying in the city, he just can't show his full potential."

Lin Mo immediately cooperated with a low growl, scratching the ground with his claws, then raised his wings and made a motion of flying forward, his golden tiger pupils staring intensely at Wang Qingtian, conveying a strong desire.

Wang Qingtian stroked his chin, looking thoughtful: "The front line?"

Lin Mo nodded heavily.

Yes! That's the front line! There are endless Advanced Beast Soldiers there, and maybe I can even scavenge a Beast General Rank! That's where my Devour Talent can exert its maximum value! Making money? That's useless! Strength is the only truth!

Wang Qingtian didn't answer immediately. He looked at his determined daughter, then at this Winged Tiger, which was clearly powerful but had been forced to be a "vase" for several months, its eyes now burning with wildness and longing. He pondered for a moment and spoke slowly: "The front line is very dangerous. Even in the relatively safe 'Secondary Defense Zone', you could encounter a surprise attack from a Beast General Rank monster."

Lin Mo growled low and patted his thick chest with his paw, indicating he was fearless.

Wang Keke also clenched her small fists: "Dad, Mimi and I aren't afraid of a Junior War General when we team up now! Besides, we aren't going to the very front; we're just going to see the world and, by the way... improve Mimi's diet. We'll take Uncle Zhang and Uncle Li (the two bodyguards) with us, and we'll follow all orders!"

Wang Qingtian's gaze swept back and forth between his daughter and the battle pet. Finally, a sharp glint flashed in the depths of his eyes. Perhaps he had been waiting for this day all along. A tiger in a greenhouse could never become a true overlord.

The Loyalty Trial had proven "Mimi's" character, and his current strength provided the initial ability to protect himself. It was time to let him out to be tempered. For him, and for the Wang Family, this might be an opportunity.

"Fine," Wang Qingtian finally relented. "I can arrange for you to go to Outpost 03. It belongs to the Secondary Defense Zone, where the pressure is relatively lower, and your Uncle Thirteen is in command there. But you must agree to three conditions: First, all actions must follow the commands of your Uncle Thirteen, Zhang, and Li; no acting on your own. Second, you can only operate within the designated safe zones. Third, if the situation changes, you must retreat immediately!"

"Yay! Thank you, Dad!" Wang Keke jumped up in excitement.

Lin Mo also suppressed his inner ecstasy and gave a low, steady growl to indicate his agreement.

Hahaha! It's done! The front line! Monsters! Your genius gluttonous tiger daddy is coming! Get ready to become the fuel for my evolution! That money earned from filming... hmm, maybe I can buy some better equipment? No, saving it as pocket money isn't bad either!

At this moment, the working tiger "Mimi" officially went offline, and the hunting tiger "Lin Mo" was about to rush toward his own battlefield! In his eyes, he could already see countless running, flying, fragrant, and talent-radiating... items on the menu!
