Is it difficult to evolve your beast?

Chapter 191 Going Home

In the past six months, although Jiang Feng had not severed ties with Ji Zhang, he knew that the other party had been away from Jinyang City for a long time.

Because when she occasionally returned home, she couldn't find Ji Zhang anywhere.

It takes a long time to get a reply when you send a message to the other party.

Sometimes I worry about the other person's safety.

Seeing that Ji Zhang was alright, Jiang Feng finally breathed a sigh of relief.

"You've made rapid progress." Ji Zhang placed his hand on Jiang Feng's head and gently rubbed it.

Jiang Feng looked up and then saw the scars on his hands.

This wasn't the case six months ago.

Ji Zhang also noticed Jiang Feng's gaze and quickly withdrew his hand: "It's nothing, just some minor injuries."

Jiang Feng pursed his lips but didn't say anything more.

The existence that could injure Ji Zhang is not something that can be resolved or resolved simply by asking about it now.

"I will protect myself." Ji Zhang smiled.

And in my mind, I added: at least until you come of age.

"How have you been lately? Have you encountered any difficulties in your cultivation? Are you happy at school?"

Ji Zhang looked at Jiang Feng with tenderness in his eyes.

His fierce and domineering demeanor outside completely disappeared in front of his family.

When asked about his own situation, Jiang Feng replied, "School is great, and I'm very happy getting along with my classmates."

"Our strength has also improved."

"Nothing strange has happened in the past six months."

Compared to the period when I first became a Beast Tamer, these four months at the school have been smooth sailing.

There wasn't much fear or trepidation, nor were there many strange occurrences, and we didn't even see any ferocious beasts.

This is a good time for Jiang Feng to focus on his cultivation.

"That's good. What attributes do you want for your second tier?"

In the past six months, Jiang Feng has learned a great deal.

The school arranged a very rich curriculum for them over the past six months.

There isn't much about combat, but the theoretical aspects are absolutely comprehensive.

In the teacher's words, the theories they are learning now may not be used in the short term, but it is important to tell them about them from the very beginning.

To prevent everyone from going astray in their future practice.

Regarding the choice of attributes, Jiang Feng made some choices after listening to what his teacher said.

"I think I should take a more versatile approach," Jiang Feng told Ji Zhang.

"The first skill of the Fighting Deer is amplification, and the second skill is a wide-range, non-targeting attack."

"The Black Dragon's first skill is control, and its second skill is a single-target negative status effect plus a targeted attack. It is not very strong, but it is very persistent."

"I currently lack defensive skills." The Black Dragon can compensate for Jiang Feng's lack of single-target damage.

Doulu's [Light and Shadow] consumes too much magic power, but Black Dragon's second skill consumes little magic power and has a negative effect.

In those four months, Jiang Feng learned a great deal about negative effects.

Skills with negative effects are more powerful than ordinary skills.

For example, the flames released by Yao Yue's Black and White Firebird have a burning effect.

That means as long as the wound exists, the burning sensation will continue to accompany the person hit by the skill.

Jiang Feng Heilong's skill is similar, but instead of a burning sensation, it weakens the reaction speed of the person hit by the skill.

Now that she's fighting alone, she has less defensive capabilities.

The shield I learned at the beginning did have too many limitations in its use.

Moreover, even if you become very proficient at using it, it's not considered very powerful, since it's something the professor taught everyone.

General skills don't necessarily have to be very strong; the most important thing is that they are simple and easy to learn. It's enough to ensure that everyone has a basic ability in this area.

Ji Zhang nodded after hearing Jiang Feng's explanation, and then asked, "If you want defensive skills, then the three types of magical beasts—wood, earth, and water—would be more suitable."

"Besides the mythical beasts you want to show, you also need to consider what skills the ones you don't want to show should have."

Ji Zhang reminded him from the side.

They can possess many magical beasts. If Jiang Feng wants to conceal his strength or give himself another identity, then he will inevitably need to hide some of his magical beasts.

Those mythical beasts also need to be compatible.

"I want to contract a water-attribute mythical beast," Jiang Feng said to Ji Zhang after thinking for a moment.

"Water-type characters generally have more crowd control and defensive skills, which is exactly what I need."

Their ability to control water is beyond doubt, and water-attribute mythical beasts also possess healing abilities.

His first and second magical beasts will both be powerful combat-attribute magical beasts in the future, so the third magical beast must be able to have control, defense and healing abilities.

By combining these factors, her survivability and combat endurance can be improved.

"Yes, that's fine!" Ji Zhang nodded, indicating his approval of Jiang Feng's idea.

"We have exactly seven days. I'll take you to the Illusionary Spirit Realm, where there are many water-attribute magical beasts, to catch a second-tier magical beast and form a contract with it." This was the reason Ji Zhang appeared and brought Jiang Feng home.

Ji Zhang was naturally worried about Jiang Feng going to capture a second-tier phantom beast on his own.

He had been planning to free up his time to go and capture mythical beasts with Jiang Feng.

"As for the fire-attribute one, what are your thoughts?"

"I need one with offensive attributes!" Jiang Feng's eyes lit up.

Seeing Yao Yue's Black and White Firebird's current attack capabilities, Jiang Feng was very envious.

The black and white firebird now only has its tail that is black and white; its entire body has turned completely fiery red.

However, Yao Yue's current illusion power is stuck at around 920. When Yao Yue's illusion power reaches 1,000, Yao Yue will also break through, and at that time, the Black and White Firebird will become even stronger.

"Alright." Ji Zhang looked at Jiang Feng and laughed. "Let's go find one with strong attack power!"

The two of them were still wearing different clothes. Ji Zhang took Jiang Feng to the same place where they had eaten before, then bought some things and headed home.

At home, Qiuqiu couldn't wait any longer. She stopped on the outermost stone and kept looking at Aunt Ling next to her.

"We'll be there soon."

"Chirp chirp!" Four months have passed, and the feathers that were plucked from his tail have grown back, and the little bird has grown a whole size.

The feathers on its body are no longer the downy kind they used to be, but have changed towards the shape of a phoenix.

It's no longer that dull yellow; it's moving towards a golden-red.

The sun shone on his feathers, reflecting a beautiful and dazzling light.

At the same time, his eyes became even more dazzling, like jewels.

"When will you be able to speak?" Aunt Ling stood by, waiting for Jiang Feng and Ji Zhang to return.

Jiang Feng had already contacted Aunt Ling via communicator yesterday.

Aunt Ling was doing a thorough cleaning at home when Qiuqiu spotted her and chased after her.

"Chirp!" It's still early, isn't it?

He feels much better now, but his energy hasn't fully recovered.

His mind was filled with a lot of unsystematic and chaotic knowledge, which he needed to spend time sorting out.

He's been diligently cultivating these past few months!

Thinking of this, the little bird puffed out its chest, looking quite proud.

When Aunt Ling saw this, she sighed and wanted to reach out and smooth the bird's feathers, but then she was afraid of being pecked by the bird, so she withdrew her hand.

The moment Jiang Feng appeared in the clan's territory, Qiu Qiu flew towards him, its clear chirping echoing through the sky.

Although it doesn't quite resemble a phoenix yet, it already has the beginnings of one.

Jiang Feng naturally heard it too, and stretched out his hands towards the little bird in the sky, which looked like a small sun under the sun: "Qiuqiu!"

The little bird landed instantly, straight and carefully nestled in Jiang Feng's arms.

Steady, steady, ding-ding!

Jiang Feng stroked the feathers all over his body, which were as smooth as silk, each feather so bright and beautiful.

"You look better now!" Jiang Feng felt a surge of joy.

The previous Qiuqiu was said to be a phoenix, but she was more like a chick.

Qiuqiu now looks like a big bird!

Upon hearing Jiang Feng's praise, the little bird couldn't help but raise its tail, which trembled behind it.

In other words, it cannot display its tail feathers, otherwise Gao Di would want to show Jiang Feng how each of its unique and beautiful feathers is.

Ji Zhang, who was standing nearby, watched for a moment and then asked, "Has this bird not yet regained its inherited memories?"

"Chirp!" Qiuqiu seemed to have been hit where it hurt when she heard this, and started flapping her wings.

Then she pitifully rested her head on Jiang Feng's shoulder, chirping softly.

He's insulting birds!

"Okay, okay, it's alright, we'll take it slow." Jiang Feng comforted the little bird in his arms, then sighed.

Ji Zhang, standing nearby, narrowed his eyes upon seeing the bird's current state.

Then he sighed and said, "Let's go."

"Let's rest for a day while we travel, and then let Doulu break through tomorrow."

That black dragon was even slower; the growth process for dragons was much longer than that for ordinary mythical beasts.

The black dragon is currently at Tier 1. It might not be able to advance to Tier 2 until the Fighting Deer reaches Tier 3.

The fact that the growth process takes a long time does not mean that the Black Dragon is weak.

The current Black Dragon's skills can still damage second-tier phantom beasts.

"good!"

"When you break through, have that little black one beside you."

"After Doulu breaks through, immediately take out the prepared stone and summon the Phantom Beast Space Gate."

"That was the easiest time to succeed."

These are all summaries of experience.

Because there are indeed many people who, after their pets have reached the second tier, are unable to reach the second tier themselves.

The problem arose when the portal to summon the phantom beasts went wrong.

Later, people discovered that by using the fluctuations from the advancement of magical beasts to summon new magical beast space gates, there was virtually no failure.

Of course, there are other methods, which Jiang Feng's teachers had already taught him when he was in school, so Ji Zhang doesn't need to mention them again.

Today, Jiang Feng did nothing but let Qiuqiu stand on his shoulders and go to the main house.

On the way, on that huge Tree Spirit Tree, the girls of the same clan as Aunt Ling were still learning the knowledge left by their ancestors.

The main house looked exactly the same as when I last left.

Aunt Ling told Jiang Feng that her room was arranged in the courtyard next door.

As for breaking through cultivation barriers, one needs to go to the family's ancestral hall.

The magical energy is even stronger there, and the Feng family members have all advanced their cultivation levels there. For their family, that place is indeed a feng shui treasure land.

Upon hearing this, Jiang Feng was naturally very interested. After glancing at his room, he took Dou Lu with him.

We also need to let the deer get used to the environment first, and then they can go to the woods to pick fruit to eat.

Half a year has passed, and the fruit we brought from home is almost gone. Now is the perfect time to pick some more.

Especially the foods that Doulu likes to eat, they've already been eaten up.

Oh, and we should also bring some for Uncle Wolf.

I went to see Wolverine a few days ago, and he ate all the fruits that Wolverine likes.

Wolf Uncle's fur has returned to its original state, and after touching it, the information displayed on the panel has also returned to the state before the use of the illusionary power.

Or rather, it's even better than before using the illusionary power.

With just five more Illusion Crystals to go, Wolfman should be able to reach the fifth tier.

However, Jiang Feng is not yet able to buy that for the Gray Cloud Wolf, nor has he encountered a suitable fifth-tier illusion crystal.

After walking around the ancestral hall, Ji Zhang led me inside and offered incense to the elders.

The Feng family's ancestral hall is extremely large, resembling a tall tower reaching upwards.

"The first level is where you break through in cultivation."

"Each of the upper levels displays the ancestral tablets, depicting their deeds."

"However, this tower was destroyed a few hundred years ago, and many things on it have disappeared."

Ji Zhang led Jiang Feng upstairs; the lower floors were still empty.

She didn't see her mother's name until she reached the fifth floor.

"Your mother likes this snack." Ji Zhang took out the items from his spatial storage and placed the snack in front of the table where Jiang Feng's mother's memorial tablet was displayed.

"Aunt Ling said that no matter where a family member dies, their soul will always return to this tower afterward."

"I wonder if her soul will be able to return to its rightful place."

Jiang Feng looked at the photo on the memorial tablet, pursed his lips, and then gave her a bright smile.

"Mom, I've grown up."

"Although you're not as tall as you were back then, in a few more years you should be about the same height, right?"

"By then, I will also be able to become an excellent beast tamer."

After pausing briefly in front of Jiang Feng's mother's memorial tablet, the two continued walking uphill.

Ji Zhang also introduced the family history to Jiang Feng.

This tower has a total of eighteen floors.

Above are many ancestors of the Feng family.

However, Ji Zhang stopped when he reached the 80th mark from the bottom and said to Jiang Feng, "I can't go any further."
