This bonus in combat is decisive… Listening to the drunkard’s description, Lu Fei felt that the [Unstable Evolution] talent was definitely a top-tier Beast Tamer talent. As for its specific level, Lu Fei was unsure, but he certainly couldn’t reveal the matter of his [Unstable Evolution] talent to the drunkard.
After a moment of contemplation, Lu Fei indirectly asked, “How can one learn a master-level Beast Tamer talent like that?”
The drunkard glanced at Lu Fei and shook his head, saying, “You haven’t even awakened a beginner Beast Tamer talent yet, so don’t think about these unattainable things.”
Don't leave me hanging… If you don’t tell me, who else can I ask? This is the only trump card this destined child can be proud of.
Lu Fei happily helped the drunkard refill his wine gourd.
He grinned, “Just satisfy my curiosity, sir.”
The drunkard sighed.
“The improvement of Beast Tamer talents is a gradual process. Under normal circumstances, the awakening of a Beast Tamer talent is aligned with the Beast Tamer’s level. For example, if you reach the level of a beginner Beast Tamer, you will simultaneously awaken both combat and support-type beginner Beast Tamer talents.
“Similarly, if you want to learn a master-level Beast Tamer talent, you must first become a Beast Tamer Master!
“This is another important watershed for Beast Tamers at each stage, besides the number of contracted beasts they can control!”
Lu Fei held his breath. Hearing the drunkard’s description, he felt that the [Unstable Evolution] talent was even more extraordinary.
However, according to this gradual process, he shouldn't have awakened a high-level Beast Tamer talent directly. Furthermore, Lu Fei had another question in his heart: when he awakened the [Unstable Evolution] talent, he had just arrived in this world and hadn't even met the minimum requirements for awakening Beast Tamer talents.
“Handsome, you mentioned ‘under normal circumstances’ earlier? Are there any special situations?”
Lu Fei seized on a loophole in the drunkard’s words and inquired.
The drunkard nodded.
“That’s right. Under normal circumstances, awakening Beast Tamer talents follows a gradual process, but there are exceptions. Some people awaken more talents than others when they awaken their Beast Tamer talents.
“Some people even directly leap over levels to awaken!”
“These people are all rare geniuses!”
Lu Fei frowned. He could understand awakening multiple talents, but leaping over levels? Could it be…
“You mean, even a beginner Beast Tamer has a chance to learn a master-level Beast Tamer talent?!”
The drunkard gave Lu Fei a sidelong glance.
“I said leaping over levels! Not cheating! Can you think of something normal in your head?”
Lu Fei shut his mouth sheepishly.
The drunkard muttered to himself, “However, there have indeed been people who awakened master-level Beast Tamer talents by skipping two levels when they were still advanced Beast Tamers.”
Upon hearing this, Lu Fei looked at the drunkard. He had to remember the name of such a person. If he met him someday, they could definitely sit down for a drink and become friends.
But then, the drunkard’s tone shifted.
“Forget it, you wouldn’t know him even if I told you.”
“Don’t! I’m curious!”
With no other choice, the drunkard casually said,
“Decades ago, a fellow named Huangfu Chenyi managed to do it.”
My nephew!
Lu Fei’s eyes widened, and he felt lost.
It’s you! It’s you again! Lu Fei hated this man who stole his script, as if all the glorious deeds in the entire Beast Taming Continent were taken by him.
Lu Fei’s envious and resentful thoughts lingered for a long time. The drunkard sensed something was amiss and asked in confusion,
“You’ve heard of this name?”
“Oh… no, no,” Lu Fei snapped back to reality. “I was just a bit surprised.”
The drunkard said kindly, “You don’t need to take it too much to heart. His talent cannot be measured by ordinary thinking.”
Lu Fei remained silent.
Suddenly, he slammed his hand on the table, startling the drunkard.
He said seriously, “Handsome! Let’s continue our training!”
What’s going on? Is he on stimulants? Is he drunk? The drunkard was bewildered.
But in a daze, Lu Fei had already come to his side and pulled him up.
“Handsome! Time is life, and wasting time is shameful. Let’s go quickly!”
Lu Fei spoke clearly and enunciated every word, his expression surprisingly serious and earnest.
Without giving the drunkard any chance to refuse, Lu Fei forcefully pulled him outside the courtyard.
Is this kid crazy? Why is he suddenly acting like he’s running out of time… The drunkard felt a surge of curiosity.
The Forget Worry Grassland, the same spot as in the afternoon. At night, the starry sky above the grassland seemed even deeper and vaster. However, this dim environment was not suitable for training, and there were many wild contracted beasts roaming in the forest, which could interfere with the training at any time.
Therefore, the drunkard called upon a group of contracted beasts to serve as laborers.
They all had one thing in common: they possessed flash-type skills, such as [Night Shadow Lantern]. These dark-type contracted beasts could emit natural light, somewhat like mosquito repellent lamps. Additionally, over a dozen other contracted beasts were constantly releasing flash skills.
“Since you’re so eager, let’s begin. However, let me warn you beforehand that tonight’s training will not be as relaxed as today’s. You’d better be mentally prepared.”
The drunkard’s tone remained indifferent.
“Bring it on!”
Lu Fei clenched his fists, eager to try. With the knowledge he had gained during the meal, coupled with the impact of Huangfu Chenyi’s story, Lu Fei felt a burning passion surging through him.
Iron Head was equally enthusiastic, standing in front of Lu Fei, fully prepared.
But tonight, it had specifically invited its master to watch, wanting to show its master its growth.
Brother Chicken, unable to refuse the kind invitation, followed and sat under a tree, yawning continuously…
The next moment, a training session was about to commence!
Lu Fei saw three contracted beasts opposite him. He was familiar with two of them: [Naughty Monkey] and [Little Gu Diao]. The new contracted beast tonight looked like a ball of black mist. If not for the facial features embedded in the mist, Lu Fei wouldn’t have recognized it as a contracted beast.
With the help of the Beast Tamer’s Illustrated Guide, Lu Fei learned that this contracted beast was called [Ghost Mochi], a contracted beast possessing both illusion and dark attributes.
During the day, one of the two contracted beasts threw obstacles, and the other increased the speed of the obstacles. Lu Fei wondered about the function of this contracted beast.
As Lu Fei pondered, he heard the opposite [Naughty Monkey] let out a few cackles.
Suddenly, a sky-covering barrage of unknown objects was thrown over.
[Little Gu Diao] flapped its wings again, and the speed of the unknown objects increased!
Just then, [Ghost Mochi]’s eyes glowed red. The red glow shone upon the unknown objects thrown by [Naughty Monkey].
The unknown objects rapidly compressed and hardened, becoming as strong as steel!
Lu Fei and Iron Head’s pupils contracted in unison.
