Beast Tamer: My pet has a game panel.

Chapter 526 Fifth-Tier Extraordinary Equipment
The heart of the Verdant Islands.

Not far from the Earl's castle, a key area that was firmly surrounded was the location of the forging base.

Ye Mo spared no expense in the construction of the Hanhan Forging Grounds, not only setting aside a large area for stockpiling forging materials, but also having Bai You set up numerous formations there.

Although it may seem that high-level blacksmiths do not need such a large open space, after all, even if a blacksmith forges equipment day and night, it will not consume much material.

However, this is not actually the case. At least for Hanhan, many of the materials used in the fourth-tier extraordinary equipment he forged were extracted from low-tier resources. Therefore, when forging a large number of high-tier equipment, the demand for low-tier materials is quite substantial.

For this reason, the entire forging base is actually divided into three areas: the outermost and most conspicuous refining area, the forging area where Hanhan forges, and the storage area for storing finished equipment and rare resources.

Although the refining area is supposedly managed by Hanhan, it is actually staffed by personnel specially arranged by Baiyou to refine their respective low-level materials and then transport them to a specific location so that Hanhan can retrieve them directly when needed.

As for the forging area, it is a place exclusively for the simpletons. Although it is located not far from the refining area, it is still highly concealed thanks to the help of an invisible array.

At least for the current Verdant Island, no more than five people on the entire island know the location of the forging area, and that's including Ye Mo.

clang--

A clear, low hum rang out, and suddenly a pillar of spiritual energy surged from the open-air houses in the forging area, crashing fiercely into the sky.

But in that instant, a protective barrier instantly opened in the sky, firmly blocking the beam of light and preventing it from breaking through. Furthermore, due to the invisible array set up in this area, this scene was actually invisible to the outside world.

A moment later, as the beam of light disappeared, the simpleton inside the forge looked down at the sphere floating in the air in front of him, his eyes filled with a rare excitement.

Success! My first Tier 5 extraordinary equipment!
…………

Soon after, several figures teleported over from beside the blacksmith's shop, accompanied by flashes of silver light.

"Hanhan, you've really broken through!" Ye Mo took the lead and quickly came to Hanhan's side, his face filled with excitement.

Behind him, Bai You, Xiao Liu'er, Xing Li, Bai Ling, and Isaac all came over, their eyes showing surprise and excitement as they looked at Hanhan.

As the protagonist of this moment, the ten-meter-tall giant bear revealed a kind smile, nodded to everyone, and then slowly opened its huge paw, revealing a purple bead about the size of an egg.

【Thunderstorm Pearl】

[Attribute: Thunder]

[Grade: Level 5]

[Rating: 61 (Excellent)]

[Requirement: Level 51]

[Attribute Enhancement: Energy Intensity +150]

[Fixed Talent: Super-Tier Lightning Energy Enhancement.]

[Fixed Skill: Super-Tier Thunderstorm (Note: The power of this skill depends on the user's strength; the skill effect is equivalent to a Super-Tier skill of the same tier and proficiency level.)]

[Description: An unremarkable Tier 5 transcendent equipment. The weak cannot use it, and the strong don't really need it, making it somewhat of a double-edged sword. However, it does provide a slight boost to Tier 5 lightning-type transcendents.]

As Ye Mo began his investigation, he was able to clearly see the panel of the extraordinary equipment. There was no problem; it was indeed a genuine Tier 5 equipment.

Although its abilities are somewhat ordinary, just like the description given by the investigator, it is still a genuine Tier 5 extraordinary equipment.

"Silly boy, now that you've broken through to the fifth rank in blacksmithing, doesn't that mean you can..." Ye Mo raised his head, looking at the silly boy with burning eyes.

And Hanhan gave an affirmative response, looking back with a firm gaze, and then nodded vigorously.

Upon seeing this, a smile involuntarily appeared on Ye Mo's face, and the look of surprise in his eyes seemed to burst out.

During this time, he kept urging Hanhan to focus his energy on forging so that he could break through to the fifth level of blacksmith as soon as possible. Why was that? It was all so that Hanhan could forge domain-type equipment for the spirit pets.

For his group of spirit pets, whose strength far surpasses that of others of the same level, ordinary extraordinary equipment is of little help to them.

Even if they are equipped with extraordinary equipment and integrated into their essence, the resulting increase in basic attribute strength is still limited to those fixed talents and skills. For these genius spirit pets, the improvement effect is simply too poor.

This can be seen from the [Thunderstorm Pearl], a fifth-tier extraordinary equipment crafted by a simpleton.

Despite being a Tier 5 extraordinary equipment, even if Hanhan and Isaac were able to equip it and integrate it into their own essence, the resulting improvement wouldn't be that significant.

The 150 energy intensity added by this equipment is a huge boost for ordinary fourth-tier spirit pets, since the base attribute intensity of a fourth-tier spirit pet is only around four or five hundred.

However, Hanhan's energy level has long exceeded 1000, which is no weaker than that of an ordinary fifth-tier transcendent. If this [Thunderstorm Pearl] can be fused into his equipment, it will indeed provide a slight boost to Hanhan, but only a little.

Furthermore, the fixed talents and skills attached to the [Thunderstorm Pearl] include one super-tier skill and one super-tier talent. This is even worse for Hanhan and his friends, since they almost all have one or two king-level talents and even more king-level skills.

Even if you gave this mere super-tier talent and super-tier skill to a simpleton, he probably wouldn't be able to use it.

Just like the enhanced skill of the [Thunderstorm Pearl] - the super-tier [Thunderstorm], a super-tier skill with a proficiency level of lv2, its power to the simpleton is probably not as great as the thunder he casually unleashes with the king-level [Thunder Control] lv5 skill.

However, there is one type of equipment that is different for Hanhan and his group of genius spirit pets: domain-type extraordinary equipment.

Ye Mo learned this knowledge from Hanhan, since Hanhan had gained a lot of forging knowledge after becoming a blacksmith, and as his blacksmith rank continued to improve, he would gain more and more knowledge about forging.

After the simple-minded blacksmith broke through to the fourth rank, he gained knowledge of domain-type equipment, specifically fourth-rank domain-type equipment. In Yanhuang, there's a well-known understanding regarding extraordinary equipment: each piece of extraordinary equipment a transcendent being fuses requires sufficient source energy to support it. This is why extraordinary equipment bestows so many incredible enhancements.

For example, there are bonuses to basic attribute strength, as well as bonuses to talents and skills. The latter, skills, are relatively easy to understand, as almost every piece of magical equipment on the Light Spirit Continent is endowed with a magical skill, but the bonuses to basic attribute strength seem somewhat incredible.

According to Yan Huang's current test results, the amount of Origin required for each extraordinary individual to equip a piece of extraordinary equipment of the same level is roughly half that of an ordinary extraordinary individual who has recently broken through.

In other words, a level 41 ordinary fourth-tier transcendent being, even with a lot of transcendent equipment, can only support two pieces of transcendent equipment of the same tier. However, if this transcendent being's level increases to 49, then they will most likely be able to support three pieces of transcendent equipment of the same tier.

Even when equipped with three pieces of the same level of extraordinary equipment, the improvement is still not satisfactory for genius extraordinary spirit pets below the fifth level. After all, fourth-level extraordinary equipment can enhance super-level skills or talents, which is already almost the best level among those of the same level.

Those were simply too ordinary for a fourth-tier spirit pet with the bloodline of a high-ranking monarch.

However, the domain is different. One of the biggest factors affecting the strength of a transcendent after breaking through to the fifth rank is the domain. In certain situations, the domain is even the most important factor for a fifth-rank transcendent.

When extraordinary individuals with domains clash, if one side's domain is suppressed, and they cannot gain a significant advantage in other aspects, they will almost certainly lose.

Just like Hanhan, who was able to surpass the fifth-tier transcendents in strength with only fourth-tier cultivation, it was because of his powerful domain that reached the overlord level. Otherwise, without the advantage of his domain, Hanhan might even have lost to Isaac.

After all, as a red crystal dragon, Isaac had too many advantages in terms of attributes and skills.

This is precisely why domain-specific extraordinary equipment is so precious and powerful.

However, it's only a fourth-tier domain-type extraordinary equipment; its enhancement effect probably won't be that significant. Ye Mo stroked his chin, pondering to himself. But for him and his spirit pet, even if it only slightly increases the domain's strength, it will still be a considerable help in battle.

"Awooooo..." (I can forge it now, but I think the effects of fourth-tier domain equipment might not be very good for us, so I want to forge fifth-tier domain equipment that we can use.)
With his head bowed, Hanhan spoke earnestly to Ye Mo.

Although Hanhan's tone was calm, it greatly surprised Ye Mo. "What? You want to forge a fifth-tier domain-type equipment? But your blacksmith level has only just broken through to the fifth tier. Can you even forge it? We have to go back in two or three days."

He wasn't too surprised by what Hanhan said about the fifth-tier domain-type equipment they could use.

After all, the requirement for extraordinary equipment is that the user possesses enough source energy; apart from that, most extraordinary equipment has no other requirements.

In this situation, it would be extremely difficult for an ordinary superhuman to equip himself with higher-level superhuman equipment, but it might not be impossible for his spirit pets.

After all, the source strength, as displayed by the detection function, is the strength of the three basic attributes: life, energy, and spirit. With the combined advantages of their race and profession, Hanhan and Isaac aren't afraid of these at all.

Isaac, in particular, is a Crimson Crystal Dragon of the superior monarch race, and has also changed his class to the Gem Dragon King class, which is comparable to that of the superior monarch race. In addition, dragon-type spirit pets naturally have higher base attribute strength.

With all these enhancements, it can be said that even a fourth-tier peak spirit pet with a legendary race would not have as high an inherent strength as Isaac.

Even when facing some relatively weak extraordinary beings who have only recently broken through to the fifth rank, Isaac is in no way inferior in terms of fundamental strength.

Under such circumstances, if the simpletons and their companions were only carrying one piece of Tier 5 transcendent equipment, there wouldn't be any problem. Even though lower-tier transcendents need to carry more essence when carrying higher-tier equipment, the same applies.

However, what Ye Mo was really curious about was whether Hanhan could create a fifth-tier domain-type extraordinary equipment.

Given the formidable power of domain-type equipment, its creation is naturally extremely difficult.

When Hanhan was only a fourth-tier blacksmith, he actually had the ability to forge fourth-tier domain-type extraordinary equipment. However, the forging difficulty was too great and the success rate was too low. Even if he succeeded by chance, the equipment was likely to be unsuitable.

For all these reasons, he didn't let Hanhan start forging domain-type extraordinary equipment at the time, but instead had Hanhan focus his energy on breaking through to the fifth level of blacksmith.

"Awoo." (It should work, I'll try it first.)
After thinking for a moment, Hanhan nodded in reply.

Seeing this, Ye Mo said, "Alright, you're a blacksmith anyway, so you can handle it yourself. The only help I can offer is some materials."

"However, if you really want to forge a fifth-tier domain-type extraordinary equipment, you'll probably need a lot of high-level materials. Just give me a list and I'll get them for you."

Hearing this, Hanhan nodded slightly.

Then it was time for the inspection. If Hanhan was to create suitable domain-type equipment for Isaac and the others, he would need to have a good understanding of their domains. Otherwise, he could only create some commonly used domain-type equipment.

Isaac's domain [Unquenchable Flame], Bai Ling's domain [Light], Xiao Liu'er's domain [Blood Moon], and even Bai You's domain [Dark Night Descends] were all released under everyone's watchful eyes.

Hanhan stood within their domain, quietly sensing the various effects brought about by their domains. Sometimes he would have Isaac and the others demonstrate the unique characteristics of their domains, thus gaining a deeper understanding of the power of their domains.

Ye Mo took out a stool from the contract space and sat down to watch quietly.

Now all of his spirit pets' domains have reached the monarch level, and even Bai You is the same. If this were displayed on the attribute panel, it would mean that the amplification and suppression special effects in their domains are both indicated as level 5.

Among the other spirit pets, aside from Hanhan, the one with the strongest domain is Xiaoliuer, followed by Isaac. His domain characteristic level is exactly the same as Bailing's, but Isaac's [Unquenchable Flame] is still stronger than the ordinary elemental domain [Light].

Finally, there's Bai You's domain, [Dark Night Descends].

It can be said that Bai Ling and Bai You's domains are at a disadvantage because of the domains themselves. If domains were divided into different levels, their conventional elemental domains would probably only be ranked in the lower middle.

He wasn't too worried about that, since both Bai Ling and Bai You possessed the potential to have two domains, as evidenced by the fact that their domain panels displayed an unnamed nascent domain.

However, perhaps because of the second domain, the awakening of it is more difficult than expected. Ye Mo originally thought that they would be able to awaken the second domain soon, but judging from the progress of the past few months, it seems that it will be possible only after reaching the fifth level.

After thinking it over, Ye Mo shook his head, then looked at his spirit pets and smiled.
