Li Xiang took some time to process it. The after-effects of this enlightening experience were much milder than before, probably because he had already grasped part of the knowledge.

[Dog Training Skill: Beginner]

[Description: Use methods like inducement, coercion, prohibition, and reward to train dogs to smoothly respond to the owner's commands and gestures, accurately completing various tasks. With correct training principles, make dogs quickly form a good and stable conditioned reflex.]

[Skill proficiency needed for upgrade: 1000 points]

"Without participating in the national competition, I actually have a 60% mission completion rate? It seems my judgment was right; choosing to save people in the end is a shortcut to complete the mission."

Li Xiang glanced at his newly acquired Dog Training Skill. With this skill, the difficulty of his next instance would be significantly reduced, and by exploiting a system bug, he could instantly train the Dog Training Skill to master level.

Currently, he only had 3500 Skill Points, still 9000 points short. Li Xiang spent 300 diamonds to open 'Near Death Experience' three times, re-entered the instance, and thoroughly defeated the combat experts inside. Finally, he successfully completed the mission and was rewarded with 9000 Skill Points.

"Upgrade the Dog Training Skill to master level."

[Ding, skill upgraded. Current Skill: Master-level Dog Training Skill, Trait: Mastery of Canine Behavior]

[Proficiency needed for next upgrade: 20000 points]

The Master-level Dog Training Skill instantly gave Li Xiang decades of experience in dog training, mastering all kinds of canine behaviors. He could tailor his training to each dog's traits and situations, tapping into the potential of every dog.

After that, Li Xiang re-entered the game.

Everything returned to the beginning again. Li Xiang looked at the familiar training ground, familiar comrades, but at this moment, none of them recognized him.

"In three months, it will be the national police dog skill competition. Our police dog base once won the first-place honor in such a competition. I hope this time you can strive to be first and reclaim the top place we lost."

The instructor's familiar words came again, and then came the familiar drawing lots session. As expected, Li Xiang drew the number 8 tag again.

Champion, here I come.

"Go, meet your partners."

As the instructor dismissed the team, Li Xiang took his number and walked down the familiar path to find the number 8 kennel.

This instance, similar to rebirth, still appeared to be three months ago with an immature champion. Li Xiang found it very mysterious.

A four-month-old German Shepherd, its ears already perked, slightly pointed ear shape, proportionate to the head.

The head lines are simple and sturdy, the eyes medium-sized, almond-shaped, with a slightly slanted position.

The forehead is round and arched, the muzzle long and firm, with the contour line parallel to that of the head, and a black nose.

The back slopes backward, very solid; this is a "West German Shepherd."

With the Master-level Dog Training Skill, Li Xiang understood the former champion even better. Some knowledge, even the instructors at the police dog base, might not know.

"Zuo Zuo~ Come on, Champion, we meet again. You surely don't recognize me, but it doesn't matter. Let's get to know each other again. My name is Li Xiang, you are called Champion."

"We are going for the championship, right, Champion?"

"Woof~ Woof~"

"See, you agree with me, right?"

If one could be reborn, many regrets could be remedied.

Li Xiang deeply appreciated this. Previously, he knew nothing about raising dogs. When feeding Champion, he even gave it things it shouldn't eat, causing it to have diarrhea, and because of his carelessness, it frequently got injured during training.

But this time was different. Li Xiang learned from his past mistakes. In this instance, he fully utilized his skills to mold Champion into a true national champion.

As usual, Li Xiang got up early every morning, cleaned Champion's kennel, then fed it. Over the next three months, they would spend all their time together, completing the base's training tasks together.

Under the influence of his Master-level Dog Training Skill, Champion's training performance was outstanding from the beginning, far surpassing other contemporaneous training dogs at the base.

Champion's excellent performance led the base instructors to believe that Champion was the most promising candidate from their base to win the national police dog skill competition.

Therefore, in the subsequent training, Li Xiang and his Champion often received some preferential treatment and benefits.

Many people also approached Li Xiang, seeking advice on training police dogs in hopes of improving their beloved dog's performance.

He was willing to share, elaborating on canine behaviors like a treasure trove.

This made him the most reputable among the current trainees, second only to the instructor.

In the blink of an eye, three months passed.

On this day, Li Xiang was dressed neatly waiting at the kennel, checking the time. The instructor would soon blow the emergency assembly whistle.

Whistle~ Whistle Whistle~ Whistle~

"Emergency assembly!"

Upon hearing the command, Li Xiang promptly brought Champion to the playground.

"Li Xiang, you have a competition tomorrow, no need to join the assembly. Rest up well, rejuvenate, and strive for a good performance tomorrow."

Seeing Li Xiang, the instructor took the opportunity to speak to him before everyone arrived.

He knew today's mission was to enter the mountains for a rescue mission, with an uncertain completion time. Even if the mission was completed, everyone, including the dogs, would be exhausted, which would definitely affect tomorrow's competitive state.

And Li Xiang was the best-performing trainee of this batch, the most likely candidate to win this national competition, and hope for their base.

Going into the mountains for rescue, having one more person or less wouldn't make much of a difference, so the instructor hoped Li Xiang could rest well and be in the best mental state for tomorrow's competition.

"Report, I am a part of the base. No matter what happens, I should stand with everyone. Tomorrow is the competition, but the instructor blows the emergency assembly whistle at this time must mean there's something more important than the competition. I must participate."

The instructor spoke up only when everyone had arrived, explaining the reason for calling everyone over.

"We just received an urgent call for help from the city public security bureau. Four hikers have lost their way in Changling Mountain's uninhabited area. After asking for help via satellite phone, the police could only pinpoint a rough area based on the signal. The day-night temperature difference in Changling Mountain is significant. If we cannot find them in time, they may face danger at any moment. The higher-ups ordered us to move out immediately for the rescue mission."

"Considering the unpredictable mission end time, those participating may not be able to make it to tomorrow's competition. Therefore, Li Xiang, Zhao Dong, and Ma Ji, your performances are among the best in our base. You will represent the base in the competition tomorrow. Now, you can go back and rest."

The instructor's words did not change; he still hoped Li Xiang would go back and rest.

But he couldn't rest. Last time, because of saving these four people, the mission was just completed.

This means he must save these four individuals to achieve the system's 100% evaluation.
