Playing with fantasy beasts in the martial arts world

Chapter 218 Divine Intent Master
Although the search took a lot of time, obtaining the Winter Summoning Beast was surprisingly simple.

Cha Nan still used a master-level Paluk Ball to sign a contract with the cooperative Winter Summoning Beast.

Although it is nominally an 'equal contract', its binding force is actually stronger than that of previous masters such as Guo Jing and Shui Mu Yin Ji.

For example, the Winter Beast cannot break free of the Palu Ball on its own and act independently, but it can communicate with Chanan inside the Palu Ball and ask to regain its freedom. Furthermore, even if it is not in the team or work list, it can still move freely unless Chanan actively puts it into the Palu Ball.

Once the Winter-Calling Beast dies, it will not be in a state like Qi Shaoshang before, where it is still under contract but can no longer be used.

Although Cha Nan's control over the Winter-Calling Beast is not absolute, she has a great deal of control over it.

In theory, as long as Cha Nan doesn't completely break ties with the Winter Summoning Beast and force it to choose to part ways, this contract is actually no different from other magical beasts, and may even have many advantages.

After successfully acquiring the Winter Summoner, Cha Nan rushed back to the Crystal Palace base and began to check the Winter Summoner's attributes.

The Winter Summoning Beast is level 50, which is naturally the highest-level phantom beast that Cha Nan currently possesses.

Within the world of fantasy beasts, the level cap for fantasy beasts is approximately level 60 or 65. The exact level will only be known once Cha Nan himself leads a particular fantasy beast to that level.

Its base attack power is 1200 and its base defense power is 1800. It seems average. After all, if a divine beast's base attributes are less than 10,000, it doesn't seem very impressive.

However, if you add the attribute damage from the Winter Summoning Beast and the rank bonus, this data will increase more than tenfold.

They quickly shifted their attention to 'partner skills'.

This is to be expected, since most of the active skills and attribute modifiers of mythical beasts only affect themselves, but partner skills can potentially change the situation of Cha Nan, the contractor.

Cha Nan remained clear-headed; no matter how strong the magical beast was, it was still the magical beast's power, not entirely equivalent to his own.

One's own strength comes from the fact that great power originates from oneself.

What he needs to do now is to use the power of the magical beasts to quickly increase his own power in order to complete the transformation.

Once he reaches the pinnacle of martial arts, even without the world of mythical beasts, he will still be powerful and inviolable.

Similar to the Shadow of Anubis, the Winter Summoner's companion skills also have two states.

However, these two states distinguish between riding and not riding.

The companion skill while mounted is called 'Ice Pegasus'. When Cha Nan chooses to ride it, he will have the power to control ice and snow. All his attacks will automatically be converted to ice attributes and greatly enhanced. In the land covered by ice and snow, riding the Winter Summoner, he will always be untargetable, unharmable, and unkillable.

The companion skill when not in riding mode is called 'Ice God'. After being summoned, it automatically generates an ice and snow kingdom within a radius of ten miles, and possesses seemingly inexhaustible power within it. It has the ultimate sealing power against all evil and filth.

It seems that neither of the two companion states of the Winter Summoner possesses the power to control life and death like the Shadow of Anubis, but the Winter Summoner's control over ice and snow is almost absolute.

As for active skills, there's no need to look at them much.

As a divine beast of ice and snow, the Winter Summoner automatically masters all ice-type skills and has three exclusive ice-type divine skills, each of which is invincible in the ice realm.

Cha Nan seriously doubted whether a typical Grandmaster would have any ability to fight back against such a powerful Winter Summoning Beast.

Finally, let's look at the entry.

The terms associated with the Winter Summoner are: a colorful legend, a golden ice emperor, a golden composure and calmness, and a white cold-bloodedness.

The legendary affix is ​​an all-around affix, increasing attack and defense by 20% and speed by 15%.

Ice Emperor increases ice damage by 20%, Calm and Composed reduces skill cooldown by 30% and increases attack damage by 10%, and Cold-Blooded increases ice damage by 10%.

It can be said that the attributes of the Winter Summoner are already almost perfectly matched. Perhaps it doesn't look as flashy as full-color attributes, but it is definitely the most suitable for it.

There was absolutely no need for Cha Nan to do any further debugging.

After summoning the Winter Summoner, Cha Nan had the Shadow of Anubis craft a saddle to match the Winter Summoner, and at the same time planned to ask the Winter Summoner some more questions about the Mythical Beast World.

It's likely that the Winter Beast, being a divine beast, is quite different from those ordinary, clueless mythical beasts.

"What do you know about this world? Can you tell me?" Cha Nan asked the Winter-Summoning Beast.

Since the Winter Caller is unique, Cha Nan saw no need to give it another name.

Moreover, when looking at the attribute panel, Cha Nan had already noticed that the Winter Summoning Beast did not have a 'gender'.

This may mean that it is either unable to breed, or that both females and males can mate.

After all, the breeding at the breeding ranch is not actually a primitive form of active reproduction, but rather a process of activating certain spiritualities in the mythical beasts through specially made cakes, and then combining them together using the ranch's mystical effects.

"What do you want to know? What aspects?" the Winter Summoner asked.

"For example... why can't I find places like deserts and volcanoes even now?" Cha Nan has always been puzzled by this.

After all, his Cloud Sea Deer is almost fully equipped.

Now that we have the Winter Summoner, we have also obtained the 'Legendary' attribute. If the Winter Summoner can be bred, then the Legendary attribute can also be passed down. Theoretically speaking, Cha Nan can create a full-speed Cloud Sea Deer with four speeds through a series of complex operations.

Of course, it's not actually that necessary... After all, stamina is also quite important for a mount, it's not just about speed.

With its speed and endurance, the Cloud Deer, except for not crossing the sea, has run very, very far around the farthest teleportation point in all directions on the map.

Unlike in games where maps have clear boundaries where you can't go any further, in the world of Fantasy Beasts, the so-called 'boundary' is the inability to find new teleportation points. To continue forward, you can only do so by riding a mount or traveling on foot, and you can no longer use teleportation points to save time.

Even so, in theory, Cha Nan, riding the Cloud Sea Deer, should have found other map types, unlocked more wild mythical beasts, and found more bosses with different attributes.

"You must find the Temple of Anubis, and then use the temple to teleport to the Flipped World!" The Winter Summoner answered Chanan's question.

"Reverse the world?" Cha Nan didn't understand what the Winter Summoning Beast meant for a moment.

"Yes! Turn the world upside down!"

"Our world is a vast plane. In addition to a large amount of known land, there is an even more expansive unknown land. And the unknown land cannot be explored too deeply, otherwise one will intrude into the void, or even enter... the territory of..." The Winter Summoning Beast seemed to deliberately conceal a certain word.

"Since it's a two-dimensional space, there are two sides. Forests and snow-capped mountains are one side, deserts and volcanoes are another. And in the gaps between them, there are complex areas such as swamps, canyons, and underground cities."

"Of course, the most extensive area covered is the ocean, and the many islands scattered in the sea!"

For some reason, Cha Nan temporarily ignored the word hidden by the Winter Summoning Beast, and her attention was not focused on it at all. Instead, she asked, "Then where should I go to find the Temple of Anubis?"

The Winter Beast said, "All I know is that it should be on an island." "I think you need a magical beast suitable for walking in the sea."

Cha Nan looked at the Winter-Calling Beast and said, "Can't you do it? Flying... can also cross the sea!"

Although the Cloud Deer is fast, it does not have the ability to fly, so it is no longer a suitable mount when it encounters the vast ocean.

The speed of the Winter Summoning Beast is definitely not as fast as that of the Three-Speed ​​Cloud Sea Deer, and this will not change even though it is a divine beast.

However, its base speed is not slow, and as an aerial unit, it has its own unique advantages.

"I?"

"That might not work. Some islands aren't even on the surface of the sea; they might be submerged in the depths," said the Winter-Calling Beast.

Cha Nan nodded, deciding that after learning the seventh diagram of the Longevity Manual, she would find an opportunity to ride Ao Bing out to sea.

Although the Sea Dragon isn't the fastest mount in the sea, it's still quite good.

Of course... if you have the chance, you can also collect the Sea King Whale.

However, the Sea King Whale is also a mythical beast and cannot be obtained through breeding; it can only be captured in the wild.

Cha Nan then asked many more questions related to the game, resolving many of her doubts.

After satisfying a great deal of curiosity, once the saddle was ready, Cha Nan got down to business.

"Want me to help you control the life energy within you?"

"Hmm... I should be able to. The energy within you has abundant water and ice energy, so I can do it," the Winter Summoning Beast replied to Cha Nan.

Cha Nan was overjoyed. She sat on the back of the Winter-Calling Beast and then used the incantation of the Heavenly Water Divine Skill to once again manipulate the energy flow route in the seventh diagram of the Longevity Technique.

Sure enough, this time it went much more smoothly.

Both the original true energy and the newly generated longevity true energy were perfectly controlled by the Winter-Calling Beast, preventing them from conflicting with each other.

As the Longevity True Qi continued to grow stronger, Cha Nan's original True Qi gradually began to merge and transform into a higher quality and more miraculous Longevity True Qi.

At the same time, the Longevity True Qi actually guided Cha Nan's spirit to perceive certain rhythms in the world.

Those yin energies and auras transformed into images and flowed into Cha Nan's consciousness.

Cha Nan finally understood why learning the Longevity Manual, even just a small part of it, was essentially equivalent to directly becoming a Grandmaster!
Because its essence is no longer about emphasizing attack power, defense power, or improving survival ability; it truly guides cultivators to integrate with nature and perceive nature.

As one's true energy grows stronger, this interaction and perception between oneself and the universe will become increasingly apparent.

Kou Zhong and Xu Ziling initially had good comprehension, but they were not exceptionally talented. However, when they reached a certain level and their true energy accumulated to a sufficient degree, their perception of nature and artistic conception improved rapidly. This is the reason why.

The emphasis on artistic conception in the terms "Grandmaster" and "Great Grandmaster" is actually a manifestation of the unity of the three treasures of essence, energy, and spirit.

The ability and strength of a grandmaster or great grandmaster lies in how to align one's own state of mind with the rules of heaven and earth.

At this moment, Cha Nan suddenly recalled his discussion with Ximen Chuixue about the sword of affection and the sword of indifference.

Looking back now, the so-called "sword of affection" is simply "I am the only one in the world," "flowers shed tears for the times," and "birds are startled by the pain of parting."

The ruthless sword, on the other hand, represents "I am heaven and earth, an old man in a straw hat and raincoat, fishing alone on a snowy river."

While they may seem to lead to the same goal through different paths, they are actually quite similar to the difference between idealism and materialism.

Of course, it cannot be equated with idealism and materialism. After all, even the 'ruthless sword', from a broader perspective, still belongs to idealism.

Guided by the true energy of longevity within her body, Cha Nan perceives the world with greater delicacy, authenticity, and realism. She finds inspiration or rationally discerns her true self from the cyclical changes of the world.

In this state, Cha Nan, riding the Winter Summoning Beast, was also affected by the riding effect of the 'Ice Pegasus'.

He obtained the authority over ice and snow, and in an instant transformed into a god of ice and snow.

A strong wind blew, and snow suddenly fell.

In the Crystal Palace, atop the snow-capped mountain, Cha Nan's thoughts were suddenly elevated to a higher dimension...

The barrier between innate and grandmaster levels shattered easily in Cha Nan's hands.

The internal energy within the body merged at an unimaginable speed, thus undergoing a transformation.

The true energy of a grandmaster contains even more willpower.

This means that the true energy that leaves the body can be controlled more flexibly and easily.

It grew and spread out, just like a part of the human body itself.

But Cha Nan is exceptionally different!
His will had now far exceeded the scope of the Grandmaster's True Qi in forging the spirit.

It's more like directly imprinting a sacred, great, and magnificent spirit into the true energy, forcibly raising the quality and level of the true energy!
Such a peculiar change is clearly unprecedented in the entire world of martial arts.

Because it is virtually impossible for anyone to possess a godlike will and wield godlike authority at the Grandmaster stage.

breathe···!

Each breath is like the dance of wind and snow in the sky.

Each circulation of true qi is a tidal fluctuation of yin energy.

Almost immediately after breaking through to the Grandmaster level, Cha Nan had already powerfully reached the peak of the Grandmaster realm.

From the perspective of a single will alone, even a grandmaster cannot compare to him.

This means that if the fight takes place in a snow-covered area or a place brimming with yin energy, Cha Nan would be far more powerful and domineering than even a Grandmaster in terms of internal strength, making him virtually unmatched.

When the true qi was completely transformed, the body also got used to breathing freely. Every second, it would actively extract energy from heaven and earth to increase the total amount of true qi. Cha Nan opened his eyes and let out a long roar.
