Beast Taming: My first spirit beast was a frog junior?

Chapter 145 Phantom Beast Ball, Universal Skill Points

The moment the Shadow Paladin appeared, everyone except Meng Liang, Qian Hongwen in the battlefield area, and all the students and teachers watching the show were stunned.

"What is this?!" Yu Yu rubbed her eyes, almost thinking she was seeing things.

Just now, a spirit beast was released directly from that silvery die.

He looked at the Shadow Paladin.

The skeletal warhorse, clad in tattered armor, was two meters tall, while the snow-white-armored knight riding on its back, wielding a massive broadsword, was also two meters tall.

In other words, the Shadow Knight, which appears to be two spirit beasts but is actually a single spirit beast, is a full four meters tall.

The moment it appears, the sense of oppression is immediately overwhelming.

The above is of the light attribute; the snow-white armor and broadsword are still faintly emitting holy light.

The skull warhorse below had two eerie green soul flames inside its head, and its body was also emanating a sinister black aura.

This is the number one spirit beast among the freshmen at Imperial Capital University!

It was clearly only an aura at the peak of the advanced level, yet it brought an immense sense of oppression.

If Xu Xian's wawa gave them a feeling of indifferent and invisible pressure.

The person in front of you is visually stunning.

Those unfamiliar with Xu Xian's Wawa might think it's weak, but with the Shadow Knight standing right there, the word "weak" simply doesn't apply to it.

Qian Hongwen was extremely worried, and the blue-eyed white ape was on high alert.

Seeing that the other party hadn't made a move, Wu Qiang wasn't in a hurry.

Holding the gleaming silver dice in his hand, he said, "You're all curious about what this is, aren't you!"

Qian Hongwen nodded, then asked curiously, "Why can your Shadow Knights—can they emerge from inside?"

All the students and teachers looked at Wu Qiang at that moment.

They all stared at the gleaming silver dice in Wu Qiang's hand with strange looks.

Wu Qiang said, "This is the latest research result of a senior student from Yuncheng University. It is called Spirit Beast Collection Container, also known as Illusion Beast Ball."

"A spirit beast container? A magical beast ball?" Qian Hongwen asked, puzzled.

Wu Qiang was very patient and confident, and he didn't care at all about others observing his Shadow Paladin.

He said calmly, "After special treatment, by using soul power as a catalyst, one can imprint one's own soul on it, and then bring the spirit beasts that have formed a soul blood pact with one into it. One can release them with just a thought."

Because the name "Spirit Beast Container" didn't sound good, the senior student renamed it the "Phantom Beast Ball," meaning it could magically store spirit beasts into this small sphere. After testing, the current limit of the Phantom Beast Ball is that it can hold peak-level lord-level spirit beasts under 100 meters in size.

"How much does this cost?" Qian Hongwu shouted from the spectator stands.

Wu Qiang laughed, "There are probably no more than a hundred of these in the entire Dragon Kingdom right now, and each one is incredibly expensive to make. Only true big shots or people like me who've known them since childhood can obtain them. But I can tell you a way to get one: it will be awarded as the champion prize at this year's National University Competition. As for you—"

It's not that Wu Qiang looks down on them.

In his opinion, the freshmen at Shucheng University this year are all quite promising.

Although I didn't see any silver-grade spirit beasts.

However, if cultivated well and strong enough, bronze-grade specimens may not necessarily lose to silver-grade specimens.

Such cases have occurred before.

However, the other party clearly did not have that opportunity.

As I said before, these are all freshmen. How can they compete with the seniors who have been ahead of them for several years?

Are you geniuses and everyone else an idiot?

After the introduction of the Monster Ball, everyone felt a surge of desire for it.

With such a great product, it will be much more convenient to go anywhere in the future.

Especially those accompanied by large spirit beasts such as Qian Hongwu, Yu Yu, and Gu Xi.

Each person's eager gaze was undisguised.

"I've given you the Beast Ball, now it's time to get down to business." Wu Qiang's gaze returned to Qian Hongwen and the Blue-Eyed White Ape.

Qian Hongwen's heart tightened instantly.

Wu Qiang asked, "What's your ranking, classmate?"

"Eighth," Qian Hongwen said.

"Only eighth?" Wu Qiang looked at Qian Hongwen's blue-eyed white ape, his eyes gleaming.

Under his spiritual gaze, the extremely powerful spiritual energy emanating from the blue-eyed white ape almost stung his eyes.

"That's interesting," Wu Qiang said with a smile.

He challenged the top rookie from all the beast-taming universities in the country, not only for the title of the top rookie, but also to challenge the geniuses of his age and increase the pressure on himself and his spirit beast.

There are students at Imperial Capital University who possess spirit beasts with spiritual attributes, but they are somewhat weaker than this blue-eyed white ape.

"I'm the guest, so I'll let you go first," Wu Qiang said.

Qian Hongwen sneered inwardly, feeling that he had been underestimated again. How infuriating!

His eyes turned cold, and the blue-eyed white ape sensed its master's emotions.

He immediately braced himself with both hands, and the fluctuations of his spiritual power spread out, instantly enveloping the Shadow Knight within the four-dimensional spiritual space.

For some time now, the Blue-Eyed White Ape has been spending almost every day in the mental attribute training room.

After its mental space was forcefully breached by Wawa last time, it learned its lesson and trained hard.

Now, we are only one step away from breaking through to the second stage of this skill.

Its eyes glared angrily, and its surging spiritual power transformed into a dark blue storm that swept across the entire spiritual space.

"Such powerful mental strength! You're almost at perfect proficiency!" Meng Liang exclaimed in surprise. "With this kind of strength, you're only ranked eighth here?"

"What's so surprising about that? He's not that strong." Zhou Li scoffed.

Yu Yu spoke frankly: "Qian Hongwen's strength has improved very quickly. Although he is ranked eighth, he may not necessarily lose to the sixth or seventh place."

Wang Bo and Gu Xi were instantly displeased upon hearing this.

They ranked sixth and seventh on the student list.

Yunfei, who was ranked ninth, felt as if he had been unintentionally hurt.

Suya, who ranked tenth, remained quite calm.

Her tenth place in combat power is actually a gap between her and the top nine, and she's sitting at the same table as the top twenty, so her expression didn't change much after hearing this.

He simply looked solemnly at the battlefield area.

After the Blue-Eyed White Ape released its mental space, a storm of mental energy directly engulfed the Shadow Knight's body.

As its mental strength increased, the blue-eyed white ape became more and more under its control, and it raised its right finger upwards.

The Shadow Paladin suddenly floated up as if it had lost its gravity, and at that moment the storm of mental energy transformed into invisible steel blades of mental energy, slashing towards the Shadow Paladin.

"A very impressive move, and the level of mastery is extremely high," Wu Qiang commented.

Qian Hongwen frowned, and Wu Qiang continued, "Unfortunately, it's still not strong enough. It can crush weaker spirit beasts like a dimensional reduction attack, but it can only have a slight influence on stronger spirit beasts unless your spirit beast's spiritual power undergoes a transformation."

As soon as he finished speaking, the sound of clashing metal rang out from the white armor of the Shadow Knight and the skeletal warhorse beneath him. The students watching the battle even saw sparks flying from the metal.

"This mental attack was actually blocked!" Zhou Li exclaimed in surprise.

Lu Youqi, who arrived a step too late to watch the show, overheard Zhou Li's words and looked at him in surprise.

"Is there a problem?" Zhou Li touched his nose. He noticed that not only Lu Youqi, but also Shi Shi, Qian Hongwu and others were looking at him with some surprise, which made him feel a little embarrassed.

Lu Youqi complained, "Dude, whether it's the armored human form on top or the skeletal warhorse form on the bottom, the Shadow Knights are all one entity, a combination of body and soul. In game terms, they have high physical defense and strong magical defense."

Yu Yu added, "That's why Wu Qiang said that Qian Hongwen's Blue-Eyed White Ape's spiritual power wasn't high enough, because Wu Qiang's Shadow Knights have very strong defenses in both areas, and the Blue-Eyed White Ape just happens to be unable to break through them!"

"Is that so!" Zhou Li scratched his head sheepishly, while the golden-armored beast grinned sheepishly beside him. Both of them had a kind of innocent purity on their faces, untouched by knowledge.

Meng Liang was speechless. He asked Yu Yu, "Hey classmate, this guy seemed pretty good since he was with you guys, but look at him! What was his ranking again?"

Yu Yu glanced at Zhou Li's blank, kidney-deficient face as he scratched his head, and sighed inwardly, "He's second, and he's good buddies with Xu Xian, who's first. I'm third."

He then pointed to Qian Hongwu, "The fourth one who fought against you."

He then pointed to Shi Shi, "This one is fifth."

"Uh—" Meng Liang was stunned.

How could Zhou Li, with his foolish appearance, possibly be second?

He glanced at the Blue-Eyed White Ape, who was still struggling to unleash his mental power, trying to break through the Shadow Knights and create an opening.

This blue-eyed white ape is strong enough; he estimates it can barely break into the top fifteen of the newcomer rankings in the capital.

Yu Yu previously said this player could only rank sixth or seventh —

Meng Liang laughed. This Tree City is really interesting; it was worth the trip.

At this moment, on the third floor of the laboratory building.

Xu Xian carefully used tweezers to extract a drop of the essence of the Frost Dragon's scales and placed it into the reagent.

In an instant, the medicinal liquid boiled violently, and a phantom image struggled frantically as if drowning.

The medicine is boiled while being shaken back and forth, and one or two drops of the medicine are released with each shake.

It landed on the lab table and immediately froze into frost, carrying a hint of cold.

Upon seeing this, Xu Xian frowned.

He had already removed most of the ice energy when purifying the Frost Wyvern Scales, but a violent frost reaction still occurred when combined with the other materials.

Bai Lan and the other three walked over.

They all shook their heads as they watched the white frost rising from the boiling medicinal liquid.

Experiments are not so easy to conduct.

Xu Xian was taking the extensive research results they had already developed and further processing them.

The initial stability of the drug solution is not a concern, but the dosage and compatibility of various materials are major issues.

And there is one very important point.

That is, dragon-attribute spirit beasts rarely appear with only one attribute.

For example, the Ferocious Dragon Carp has both Dragon and Water attributes, while the Crystal Frost Flying Dragon has both Dragon and Ice attributes.

There are also a large number of sea dragons, some of which have dragon attributes, but water attributes make up a larger proportion.

Pure dragon-attribute spirit beasts are only found among dragons, and even then, they are extremely rare.

This is also why Byakuran and the others never considered experimenting with dragon attributes.

As for spiritual attributes.

Pure is because spiritual attributes are rarer and more precious.

Among the other three ultra-rare attributes, Star, Time, and Space are even more significant.

Despite the failure to prepare the medicine, Xu Xian was not particularly discouraged.

If you succeed on your first try, you'll be pretty awesome.

Thinking of this, Xu Xian couldn't help but shake his head and sigh.

In my past life, the protagonists in the novels I read were all incredibly powerful and overpowered.

He can handle all kinds of experimental research with ease.

His own cheat program is good.

First, there are skill points, which are useful.

Not only did he not get it for free, but he also had to extract energy from his own body to maintain his kidney deficiency face. He and Zhou Li were secretly called the "Double Strong Kidney Deficiency" by others.

Furthermore, regarding the attribute panel of a spirit beast, if you want to see the attribute of a non-contracted spirit beast, you have to take its blood. What if the spirit beast has no blood?

It even has a time limit.

Fortunately, my contracted spirit beast doesn't have these restrictions.

Finally, the third function of the most dog-like device is the display of evolutionary information.

Damn it.

First, blood must be drawn to check the information; second, the basic requirements after evolution must be met before it will be revealed.

In other words, if any one of the criteria is not met, this information will never appear in your lifetime.

It looks impressive at first glance, but it turns out to be quite a rip-off later.

If Wawa hadn't learned "Tidal Sea Spirit" and then received a lot of dragon attribute modifications from the Mirage Sea Dragon of the Misty River, the Tidal Dragon Frog's underworld evolution path would probably never have appeared in its entire life.

In other words, of the three abilities of the Beast Taming Bead, skill points are the most useful. The other two are not exactly useless, since sometimes you're just one step away from getting them right.

but----

Xu Xian closed his eyes, and Bai Lan and the other three assumed that he hadn't come to disturb him because his experiment had failed.

In reality, Xu Xian looked at the round bead inside his head.

He mentally complained, "Can't you be a little smarter? Forget about helping me test the medicine or anything—I doubt you even have that ability—but you can at least display information, so can't you solve Niu Niu's problem for me?"

After finishing his rant, the Beast Taming Bead flickered.

"!"

Xu Xian was startled.

The Beast Taming Bead is reacting, could it be—!

Xu Xian quickly pulled up Niu Niu's attribute panel.

Overjoyed, I thought, "You're really something else!"

[Race: Small Flame Tauren]

[Level: Advanced, Level 6]

[Attributes: Fire, Dark]

[Race Rank: Bronze - Low Grade]

[Racial Traits: Lava Skin & Hellfire Power (Chaos)]

[Skills: Beginner: Fire Bull Horn (Introductory), Intermediate: Steel Skin (Proficient), Shadow Hand (Unmastered), Advanced: Holy Flame Axe (Unmastered), Hell Body (Introductory)]

[Evolution: ①Silver: Hellfire Bull Demon (Unlocked by consuming 64 skill points) ②Gold: Unknown ③Legendary: Unknown ④Mythical: Unknown]

When the words "Hellfire Bull Demon" came into Xu Xian's view, his eyes widened and he almost jumped up from his seat.

I never expected that a simple complaint would actually give the Beast Taming Bead a new purpose.

He hurriedly went to the Beast Taming Pearl to complain about why it couldn't directly increase energy level breakthroughs, but this time there was no change.

As a result, no matter how much good or bad talk was said, nothing changed.

We had no choice but to give up and pull out the attribute panel for Wawa and Prayer.

But their situation is different from Niu Niu's.

The entire panel remained unchanged.

So, is this only targeting Niu Niu?

Xu Xian scratched his head, not understanding what was going on with the Beast Taming Pearl.

I'm helping out because Niu Niu is really dragging the team down?

Xu Xian pulled up Niu Niu's attribute panel and clicked on the evolution section.

As indicated, with enough skill points, one can unlock the Hellfire Bull Demon evolution path, which Xu Xian has never heard of before.

The evolution path will provide detailed instructions on how Niu Niu can evolve into a silver-type spirit beast. It's safe to say that the skill points you use make a difference.

However, it requires a lot of skill points, a full sixty-four.

"Fortunately, with the seventeen points I have now, I'll be able to collect the full amount in another month."

It's only a month; he can wait that long.
