Beast Tamer: My pet has a game panel.

Chapter 235 Breakthrough Secrets
Chu Dehou was speechless and looked at his apprentice with complicated eyes.

The opponent's strength was beyond his imagination. He had originally hoped that this would make him more cautious after entering the other world and not look down on the fourth-level commander.

As a result, now, just look down on it.

"How's it going, Master? I performed okay this time." Ye Mo stretched out his hand, took a spiritual fruit from the table, and ate it while smiling.

Chu Dehou nodded and said seriously, "Your performance this time was indeed very good, even beyond my expectations. I really didn't expect you to be so strong."

Hearing this, Ye Mo smiled confidently and said, "Master, with my strength, I should be able to hold my own against the Ancient Capital Academy in the future."

Facing this question, Chu Dehou hesitated for a moment before looking at Ye Mo and said seriously, "According to common sense, with your strength, it's not an exaggeration to say that you're invincible among the third-level warriors."

"But the Ancient Capital Academy is a little special. As you know, their spirit pets are mostly based on spiritual power. Such attacks are difficult for low-level spirit pets to resist. If you are not careful, you may still lose."

Hearing this, Ye Mo nodded. He agreed with his master's words. He has been a beastmaster for some time now. Most of the spirit pets he has seen have low mental resistance talents, such as Hanhan, who only has intermediate mental resistance talents.

Skills that consume mental energy are mostly varied, with many types and different skill effects. If there are any special skills, it is easy for the weak to defeat the strong.

This still requires a little attention, but not too much attention, after all, he already has a way to deal with it.

After saying this, Chu Dehou saw his apprentice's cautious look, and continued to talk about the characteristics of spiritual and necromancy skills, as well as how to identify and deal with some special skills.

In this way, he spoke for more than half an hour before he finished speaking. At this time, Chu Dehou and Ye Mo were already talking about sea beasts.
"What! Master, do you mean that the sea area that is now in the safe zone will not be safe for a long time?" Ye Mo said with his pupils widened and a look of shock on his face.

The reason why I was so shocked was mainly because the master just said that the sea beasts that entered from outside the safe zone would not be able to get out and would remain in this sea area. In this way, the safe area that originally only had third-level sea beasts would become a chaotic area filled with a large number of fourth-level sea beasts.

Nodding gently, Chu Dehou said calmly, "You're right about it being unsafe. After all, the authorities will issue a notice prohibiting ordinary people from entering the sea area without permission. At the same time, the islands will be temporarily blocked. By then, the number of ships sailing to the islands will decrease from several per day to only one or two per month."

Hearing these words, Ye Mo was even more puzzled and asked directly, "That's not right. According to what you said, Master, most of the sea beasts that entered here are ordinary commanders. Even if there are powerful ones, they are only commanders. There is no way that there will be a king level one."

"And a sea beast of this strength, wouldn't it be easy for the entire Demon City to destroy it?"

This is not a small place like Beihan City. The Demon City Base City is one of the ten first-level base cities in the entire Yanhuang Alliance. Not to mention that there are no king-level sea beasts among these sea beasts, even if there are king-level sea beasts, they are nothing to the Demon City.

Chu Dehou smiled and shook his head. He glanced out the window and said with a gleam in his eyes, "Those sea beasts that came in really can't do much. If we want to kill them, we can clean them up in no time. Why don't we do it now? Why do you think?"

Touching his chin, Ye Mo pondered for a moment. Based on the strength of the Magic City and the information he had learned so far, could it be that...

"Master, could it be that the authorities did this on purpose?"

Hearing this, Chu Dehou nodded seriously and said, "That's right, just as you thought, this time the authorities did it on purpose."

After receiving the results from his master, Ye Mo frowned. Unable to figure out the reason, he asked curiously, puzzled, "Master, why are the authorities doing this? Why are they keeping those sea beasts? Are they planning to breed them?"

After hearing the last part, Chu Dehou couldn't help laughing. "Farming? You're really imaginative. Actually, trapping those sea beasts in the safe zone is not as complicated as you think. It's just to improve the strength of the beast masters in the city."

Improve your strength. After hearing this, Ye Mo seemed to understand something, but not completely.

But this time, Chu Dehou didn't let him think too much and said directly: "You are also a beastmaster. After so long, you should have a lot of understanding of beastmasters. Tell me, among the various realms of beastmasters, which realm has the lowest breakthrough rate."

The breakthrough rate is the smallest. Ye Mo frowned. He didn't know much about the fifth-level king-level beastmasters and above. He only knew a little about the number from the official data. How could he guess?
Pursing his lips, Ye Mo recalled his situation in Beihan City and slowly said, "The rate of breakthrough from level 3 to level 4 is the lowest?"

In Beihan City, the third level is a high-level beastmaster. Whether joining a hunting group, forming a team, or joining the official, they can get very good treatment. But if compared with the fourth level, it is far behind.

To put it simply, the third level is still a worker, while the fourth level master can become a leader.

The reason for this is mainly because although the status of a third-level beastmaster is not low, there are many of them. At least Beihan City has a beastmaster army formed by third-level beastmasters.

As for the fourth-level masters, there are only six in the entire Linghu District, and there are only dozens in the entire Beihan City, which is pitifully small compared to the third-level number.

Hearing this answer, Chu Dehou nodded and said solemnly, "You're right. The rate of Beastmasters breaking through to the Grandmaster level is the lowest. A few years ago, I saw statistics that the rate of third-level to fourth-level breakthroughs was only about one in a thousand. That's too low."

After hearing this, Ye Mo thought about it. It is not easy for ordinary people to become a third-level beastmaster, and the rate of a third-level beastmaster breaking through to the fourth-level is one in a thousand. So, the rate of an ordinary person becoming a fourth-level master is extremely difficult.

But after all, after breaking through, one can become a master beastmaster, so it is normal that it is so difficult.

Chu Dehou, who saw what Ye Mo was thinking, shook his head, stared at him, and asked mysteriously, "You have seen those people from the Western Continent before, right?"

Well, Ye Mo nodded, looking curious. What does this have to do with the Western Continent?
"You know, I went to the Western Continent once before. The rate of third-level transcendents breaking through to the fourth level there was much higher than ours. I think the breakthrough rate for some powerful kingdoms was greater than one percent. Even for some weak kingdoms, the breakthrough rate was much higher than ours."

Facing his master's words, Ye Mo was shocked and said, "How is this possible? Is it easier for them to break through the extraordinary system than for us? But that shouldn't be the case, right?"

The breakthroughs of various Transcendental systems are almost identical; the lower the level, the more similar the breakthroughs. This was written in the required textbooks back in school. Upon hearing this, Chu Dehou revealed a helpless expression and said, "Their breakthroughs are actually similar to ours, and the reason the breakthrough rate is so different is mainly due to external factors."

"Let me first tell you about breakthroughs. A key point in breaking through from the third stage to the fourth stage is the unification of the three fundamental sources of essence, energy, and spirit. Of course, this doesn't mean they must be completely unified, but only temporarily unified, so that these three fundamental sources can communicate and transform into one's true strength."

"This is extremely difficult. In my opinion, this step requires both talent and understanding. If you haven't reached the level of a true genius in either, then if you want to unify the three fundamental principles of spirit, energy, and soul, you can only constantly battle against powerful opponents, constantly putting yourself in danger to unleash your potential and seek breakthroughs."

"That's what we beastmasters are like."

Speaking of this, Ye Mo nodded slightly. He also knew about the unification of the three origins of essence, energy and spirit. After all, Hanhan and the others were already level 39. The next step was to break through to the commander level, and one of the requirements for the breakthrough was the unification of the origins.

"But those guys in the Western Continent are different. In addition to risking their lives to realize the unity of the origins, they can also achieve unity of the origins through specially formulated potions."

"What!" Is there such a potion? Ye Mo was shocked. Most of the potions he had were recovery potions, healing potions, and some extremely rare auxiliary potions. But here, there was actually a breakthrough potion. What the hell was this?

"If it's a potion, then we can make it, right?"

Listening to Ye Mo's words, Chu Dehou smiled bitterly and said, "You're right. Although the potion that helps to unite the origins is difficult to make, there are many experts in our Demon City Academy who can make it, not to mention the entire Yanhuang Alliance. But without the medicinal materials, it's useless."

"Among the ingredients used to make the breakthrough potion, the most core ingredient is called Three-Leaf Centenarian Grass. It's a level four resource. The energy it contains is quite ordinary among level four resources, but it can effectively promote the unification of the three origins."

"And we in Yanhuang have almost no such materials. Only those in the secret realms that have descended have some."

Is that really the case? So that's how it is. After thinking for a while, Ye Mo looked at his master and asked, "Master, since this three-leaf centenarian grass is so important, we can cultivate it ourselves. It's true that fourth-level spiritual plants are difficult to grow, but with the strength of our Yanhuang, we should still be able to do it."

"It can indeed be done. Many places have already started growing Trifoliate Centenary Grass." Chu Dehou nodded gently. After saying this, his eyes were complicated. He continued, "But do you know why we don't have Trifoliate Centenary Grass here? It's not because the world is different, but because of time."

"time?"

"Yes, time. Three-leaf centenarian grass is a rather special spiritual plant. It truly takes time to grow. Just like its name suggests, 'hundred years' means a hundred years. After planting it in the right place, it will take a hundred years for it to grow a leaf, and three hundred years for it to become three-leaf centenarian grass."

"This is different from those spiritual plants like the thousand-year-old purple fungus and the five-hundred-year-old spiritual ginseng. Those centuries and thousands of years are just about their medicinal properties, but this one is truly old."

"Now you can understand why we don't have this kind of spiritual plant here."

Facing his master's words, Ye Mo showed a wry smile. Indeed, according to history, the spiritual energy in their entire world had only been revived for nearly a hundred years. Where could there be such a spiritual plant that needed three hundred years to grow?

"Master, is there no way to speed up their growth?" Although he knew it was unlikely, he still wanted to ask.

Upon hearing this, Chu Dehou shook his head and said, "It's not impossible, but the price is too high. With such a high price, let alone allowing only one level three to have a chance of breaking through to the fourth level, even if ten people are guaranteed to break through to the fourth level, it's not worth it."

Hearing this, Ye Mo understood that accelerated growth was impossible. However, Yanhuang did not have this kind of spiritual plant, and there were very few in the secret realm where it descended. But there must be many in the Western Continent, otherwise the breakthrough rate would not be so much higher than ours.

"Master, what about the Western Continent? Is it possible through trade or something like that?"

"Things were fine in the West Continent at first, but after they learned we didn't have Trifoliate Centennial Grass here, they blocked this resource and listed it as a prohibited resource. Ultimately, the only way to get it is through official negotiations or smuggling."

"The former was because the other party's asking price was too high, and they weren't very willing to sell it, so the matter was left unresolved. The latter was because the Western Continent was too far away from us, and the ocean was too dangerous. Without sufficient strength, it would be difficult to transport it to us."

"So, there aren't many resources available in the Western Continent."

"So that's how it is. This time the authorities deliberately trapped those sea beasts in the safe zone in order to increase the probability of the beastmasters breaking through?" Touching his chin, Ye Mo looked up at his master and said seriously and affirmatively.

Chu Dehou nodded and smiled with satisfaction, "Indeed, it's rare to have so many sea beasts entering our waters this time, and their strength is so suitable. It would be a shame not to use them to build a large training ground."

"If I'm not mistaken, the authorities will issue a notice encouraging the city's fourth- and third-tier beastmasters to go to the sea to eliminate sea beasts. At that time, the Hunter Council and the Beastmaster Association will issue a large number of similar missions."

"Also, regarding this cleanup mission, the authorities will definitely notify all beastmasters of rank five and above and ask them not to get involved."

Hearing this, Ye Mo wanted to sigh that the official move was quite big, but then he thought of something.

If this was a training session for fourth- and third-level beastmasters, then wouldn't he be a perfect fit?

When he left New Blade Island before, he regretted that he had not been able to collect more sea beast corpses and fight for a while longer.

"Master, when does the competition for quota begin?" I've always heard from my master that it will start in a few days, but I don't know the exact time yet. I'm asking now so I can see how many days of free time I have in the next few days.

"Today is May 2nd, and it starts on May 10th."

There is still a week left. Ye Mo's heart moved. With such a long time, he must make good arrangements.
