"Little Star," said Lin Shen solemnly, "sing."

"Sing?" Lin Shen looked at Little Star in bewilderment, genuine confusion written all over his face. This time it was not an act, but true puzzlement.

Little Star said seriously, "I have been imprisoned here by the Dream Beast for many years, and I've clashed with it countless times. Although I am not its match, it hasn't killed me because it wants to toy with me, allowing me to survive until now."

"All these years of humiliation and sufferance weren't without gains. Through secret research, and a stroke of luck, I discovered that the Dream Beast has one fatal weakness... it's afraid of singing... Its combat strength is weakened by song... The louder you sing... the better you sing... the more its combat strength is diminished..." Little Star earnestly deceived Lin Shen.

"Is that even possible?" First, Lin Shen was filled with surprise and joy, but his expression soon turned somber, "Unfortunately, I don't know how to sing."

"That's okay, I'll teach you," Little Star declared proudly. "The singing I'm talking about isn't just any singing, but a Song Secret Skill that I've created. You didn't really think a normal person's singing could affect an existence like the Dream Beast, did you?"

"Little Star, how can I ever thank you?" Lin Shen's eyes darted about, brimming with unshed tears, as he dramatically expressed a man's gratitude and pride.

"We suffer the same plight. Helping you is helping myself. Let's join forces and kill the Dream Beast, and get out of this godforsaken place," Little Star's voice was filled with heroic resolve, as if vowing to battle a demon to the death.

"Join forces, together we'll kill the Dream Beast," Lin Shen echoed with the same excitement. Unfortunately, Little Star had no hands, or else Lin Shen would have wanted to shake hands firmly to demonstrate their revolutionary camaraderie.

"We mustn't delay. I will teach you my Song Secret Skill right now, so that you can learn it quickly and we can join forces to kill the Dream Beast," Little Star said, and started to seriously teach Lin Shen the Song Secret Skill.

Of course, Little Star wasn't really going to teach Lin Shen any Song Secret Skill. It was purely out of boredom, toying with Lin Shen for fun, treating Lin Shen like a fool to be played with.

What it called the Song Secret Skill was nothing but whimsical thoughts that came to it when singing out of sheer enjoyment.

Not to say it was entirely nonsensical but, practically speaking, it was unrelated to any logic.

Yet Little Star spoke with such conviction and assurance that it seemed as though there was something to it.

"Can this really work?" Lin Shen felt he had to express some skepticism about Little Star's claims. If he didn't, it would make him seem either unintelligent or ulteriorly motivated.

Lin Shen's dealings with Little Star were pretense, as he sought an opportunity to subdue it in one strike, giving it no chance.

From his experiences thus far, he could almost be sure that the creature referred to as the Dream Beast by Little Star could be commanded by it.

If he didn't succeed in one go, and Little Star summoned the Dream Beast, Lin Shen's high bodily strength wouldn't withstand the Immortal Level's power.

Now Little Star wanted to engage in an acting contest with him, which played right into his hands.

Finding a chance to touch Little Star's acupoints nine times, the final touch would certainly seal it, capturing it even if it was an Undying Creature.

Man and snail each harbored their own schemes; one taught earnestly, and the other learned with the same earnestness.

To defend his bluffs, Little Star genuinely thought over the principles and techniques of its fabrications so that it could give seemingly valid explanations when Lin Shen questioned it.

Normally, Little Star secretly summoned the Dream Beast to act as a shill, pretending every time the Dream Beast nearly charged onto the planet, it was Little Star's continuous singing that drove it back, preventing it from approaching Pink Star.

Lin Shen didn't care whether the instruction was useful or not; he simply showed immense eagerness, diligently practicing the Song Secret Skill taught by Little Star every day.

Seeing Lin Shen practice so fervently, as if truly wanting to avenge his brothers through the Song Secret Skill, made Little Star so happy that it couldn't close its mouth.

"This fool actually believes there is such a thing as the Song Secret Skill, his brain must have been kicked by a donkey." Little Star looked at Lin Shen with the eyes of one beholding a clown, greatly amused.

In order to draw closer to Little Star and gain physical access to it, Lin Shen racked his brains coming up with various questions about the Song Secret Skill to ask Little Star.

Little Star, in its efforts to answer Lin Shen's questions, exhausted all its wits and abilities, using copious references to explain the principles and techniques of the Song Secret Skill to Lin Shen.

Sometimes Little Star even considered itself a genius for being able to concoct so many wild and wonderful ideas, duping the fool completely, who looked at it each day with adoring eyes.

"Let you live a few more days. When you find out that the Song Secret Skill doesn't even exist, that will be the day you die." Little Star actually felt somewhat reluctant to kill Lin Shen at that moment.

Of course, Lin Shen knew that Little Star was bluffing him, and he didn't truly take this nonsense Song Secret Skill seriously.

The efforts in practicing were just for show; his real intent was to get close to Little Star, to hold the emperor's hostage in order to command the lords.

After practicing the skills mentioned by Little Star for a few days, it naturally had no effect whatsoever.

On a whim, Lin Shen sang his own War Song using the nonsensical Song Secret Skill Little Star had talked about. Continue your story on My Virtual Library Empire

As he sang, Lin Shen suddenly found himself stunned.

It was normal for the War Song to bolster his strength, and it was effective when he sang it himself.

What was abnormal was that the amount of strength he used to gain when he sang the War Song himself was quite limited, nowhere near the effect achieved when Wei combined it with the Qixin Wooden Fish, equivalent only to the boost an ordinary Ascender would receive.

But this time, after he sang the War Song, the amplifying effect of the War Song turned unexpectedly fierce, even stronger than the effect of Wei's combination with the Qixin Wooden Fish.

"Could it be... the Song Secret Skill that Little Star taught me is real..." The thought flickered through Lin Shen's mind, but he immediately dismissed it.

The Song Secret Skill was effective only on his War Song, which was completely different from what Little Star had described. Lin Shen had just stumbled upon it by chance.

During his practices, Lin Shen seized every chance to have physical contact with Little Star, each time his fingers seemingly unintentionally touched a red dot on an acupoint on Little Star's body.

Lin Shen never applied any force, so naturally, Little Star didn't feel anything.

After several days of constant companionship, Lin Shen finally touched the same acupoint on Little Star nine times.

The intensity of the force wasn't key, what mattered was that the same acupoint had been touched nine times. The next Acupoint Sealing would inevitably take effect, and no one could stop it.

Little Star had already taken Lin Shen for its little fanboy, completely oblivious to the impending doom.

"Little Star, I've done it." Just as Little Star was contemplating how to swindle Lin Shen that day, it suddenly saw Lin Shen coming over excitedly.

"Done what?" Little Star was utterly puzzled, not understanding what the fool was so happy about.

"The Song Secret Skill... I've mastered it... I have... really, I've done it..." Lin Shen came to Little Star, elated.

"The Song Secret Skill... You've mastered it?" Little Star stared at the overwrought Lin Shen, its head full of question marks.
