Fantasy Mountains and Seas, My Mountain and Sea Beast Taming

Chapter 51 Outside the Circle, Outside the Alliance Forces

"You want to choose this?"

Li Fu said with some surprise.

Xu Ran's choice surprised him.

It wasn't that he looked down on the Flame Core Serpent, a beast tamer whose potential was only at the medium level.

At least for the most talented beast tamers, the initial racial stats of their beasts are not the most important factor.

Beast tamers can continuously evolve and break through racial barriers.

Since its initial base stats are low, you can simply keep setting evolutionary paths for it.

Take the Azure Scale Carp, one of the most numerous beasts in the Beast Tamer Alliance, for example.

Even among those long-established beast tamer families, many people choose the Azure Scaled Carp as their first tamed beast.

In the Beast Tamer Alliance, many powerful Beast Tamers started with the Azure Scale Carp as their Beast Tamer.

It should be noted that the racial potential of the Azure Scaled Carp is only at the intermediate level of extraordinary.

It is one of the most ordinary and weakest beast tamers.

The reason why so many people choose the Azure Scaled Carp as their first tamed beast is because of the Azure Scaled Carp's "Leaping Over the Dragon Gate" evolution scheme.

Train the racial skill "Water Splash" to a certain level.

With the right resources for dragon-type beast taming, the most basic evolutionary conditions for "Leaping the Dragon Gate" can be met.

If other valuable resources can be added, it can undergo further changes.

Within the alliance, the only comparable program is the "Breakthrough" evolution scheme for insect-type Beastmasters.

Therefore, the initial racial potential of a beast tamer is not that important.

The key reason why Li Fu did not recommend the Flame Core Serpent to Xu Ran and make it Xu Ran's second beast was not its racial potential.

It's because this kind of beast taming is somewhat unpopular.

The Flame Core Serpent is not one that no beast tamer has cultivated to a certain level.

Despite the large population base, quite a few Flame Core Serpents have evolved to possess extremely strong combat power.

Li Fu recalled the evolutionary plans related to the Flame Core Serpent that appeared in his mind, one by one, and rejected them one by one.

Even after recalling and rejecting all the evolutionary plans, Li Fu still couldn't find one that satisfied him.

Because none of the evolutionary schemes he was familiar with could guarantee stable evolution!

These evolutionary schemes are not universally applicable!

Difficult to replicate!

In other words, if Xu Ran chooses the Flame Core Serpent as his second tamed beast, there's not much he can do to help Xu Ran.

The evolution plan for the Flame Core Serpent and the training of its skill proficiency required Xu Ran to design everything personally.

"Yes, I'm sure."

Xu Ran said with absolute certainty.

There was even a hint of joy in his voice.

Having seen so many beast tamers, none of them can simulate the scenes of the "Fantasy Mountain and Sea" game.

Xu Ran even lost all hope for it at one point.

During his exploration, Xu Ran also learned that there are very few beasts that can simulate the [Fantasy Mountain and Sea].

It was fortunate for him to encounter Kun Kun, a beast whose initial race was the Azure Scale Carp.

Both sides are heading in the same direction.

Along the way, the two had already seen dozens of different kinds of beasts.

The beast taming warehouse basically contains all the beasts that can be found in the entire Daze City.

Xu Ran even saw several Linghua deer.

This is considered one of the beast-taming races with the highest initial racial potential in Daze City.

Even so, none of them met the requirements.

Xu Ran even considered that he might not encounter a beast tamer capable of simulating the [Fantasy Mountain and Sea] landscape for a long time. In that case, he would have to specialize in raising the Azure Scaled Carp.

Let the Blue-scaled Carp evolve in various directions.

Psychic, Ghost, Dragon...

Spirit Kun, Bone Kun, Dragon Kun...

It's really going to start with a giant Kun, and its evolution will depend entirely on devouring!

Of course, this was just Xu Ran internally complaining to himself.

If I really did that, I'd probably become a Kun Master.

It is similar to those dragon tamers who specialize in contracting dragon-type beasts.

Now that the Flame Core Serpent had appeared before him, Xu Ran felt it was fate.

I used to think I had a lot of choices, but now it seems I don't have that many options.

This is it!

Xu Ran couldn't help but reach out and touch it; even through the memory, his affection was evident.

Seeing that Xu Ran's expression seemed genuine, Li Fu sighed and said nothing more.

He knew that Xu Ran had a secret, and was likely a genius with dual beast-taming talents.

The reason for this choice may be related to the other party's talent for beast taming.

Xu Ran had already made her choice, so Li Fu naturally wouldn't say anything more.

"There are still a few Flame Core Serpent eggs in the Beast Taming Storehouse. Should we go and select some?"

That was all Li Fu could say.

"No, no need. This egg is destined for me."

Xu Ran shook his head again in refusal.

He knew what Li Fu meant by "selection"—it simply meant choosing the Flame Core Snake eggs that appeared to have stronger vitality and better innate qualities.

But this is unnecessary for Xu Ran.

The Flame Core Snake eggs in front of me are not bad in appearance.

Even if there are better ones, Xu Ran was confident that this Flame Core Serpent, after being soaked in a high concentration of the Fountain of Life, would definitely be no less impressive.

Li Fu nodded and then took Xu Ran to register.

The procedure is very simple; basically, you only need to click a few times to confirm on your personal terminal.

Xu Ran held the Flame Core Serpent Egg in his arms with great affection.

This time, I got it for free!

Although the Flame Core Serpent's racial potential is only at the medium level of extraordinary, it would still cost nearly 100,000 Alliance Coins to purchase it from the Beast Tamer Alliance.

Because the number of Flameheart Snakes is not very large, compared to the Green-Scaled Carp.

If the beast is of a different race with higher potential, the cost will be even greater.

Hundreds of thousands, even millions, are possible.

Going further, it's no longer something that can be purchased with simple Alliance Coins; it's basically at the point where you can only accept bartering with extraordinary resources.

"Your initial reward has been received... The other reward will arrive in a few days, so you can go back and prepare for it."

After leading Xu Ran out of the Beast Taming Warehouse, Li Fu said this to Xu Ran.

Xu Ran nodded and said goodbye to Li Fu.

Now that he has chosen his second beast tamer, he needs to prepare some special extraordinary resources.

The two then parted ways.

……

Unique features.

The door to Fu Qianli's office was opened.

Li Fu lay down on the sofa as if he were back in his own home.

What did he choose?

Even without looking up, Fu Qianli knew who was making that nonchalant noise.

Fu Qianli knew perfectly well what Li Fu had gone to do.

"Flame Core Serpent"

Li Fu tilted his head back and replied listlessly.

"Flame Core Serpent?"

"Flame Core Serpent!"

After recalling it in his mind, Fu Qianli finally remembered this obscure beast.

"What happened to you...?"

"A genius of this caliber doesn't follow the conventional path, nor should he... Isn't that the same way about your family's descendant surnamed Fu?"

Li Fu had already anticipated what Fu Qianli would say, and he shut him down with a single sentence.

Fu Qianli didn't say anything more; he understood what Li Fu meant.

If possible, Li Fu would certainly let Xu Ran choose those smooth, established paths to becoming a strongman.

Since Li Fu did this, he must have given it his own consideration.

It was only during this time that he learned through certain means why Li Fu valued Xu Ran so much.

Li Fu is very talented and has great courage.

He had led many people to places outside the Beastmaster Alliance's territory, known as the Outer Circle.

Many people died that time; only a few, including Li Fu, returned…
