What is Beast Master talent?
The answer is a talent that acts on pet beasts.
Like the Divine Power talent, it can be shared with pet beasts. If it's shared with a hundred and twenty pet beasts, that's a hundred and twenty Divine Power talents, plus the Beast Master's own talent, making it a hundred and twenty-one Divine Power talents.
A legion composed of a hundred and twenty-one Divine Power talents can sweep across the entire world.
Or maybe not, this statement is not precise. It can't sweep across now, but if it were in the past, it could. Now, with the old chairman of the alliance present, not even a hundred and twenty-one Divine Power talents multiplied by ten can overturn the heavens.
Why is the alliance so well-regulated? The reason lies in the old chairman's suppression.
Why don't the Four Gods from outside dare to descend upon the world, not even with incarnations?
It's because the old chairman is in the human world.
The old chairman is terrifying, even in the game, Li Cunxu couldn't see through the depths of the old chairman.
The final boss is not the old chairman; otherwise, Li Cunxu would never pass no matter what.
Li Cunxu asked, "Anle, do you have any thoughts about your pet beast?"
"No."
Li Anle shook her little head.
Great, you don't have any, but I do.
Li Cunxu's idea is to form the Four Symbols Legion.
Cyan Dragon, Vermilion Bird, White Tiger, Black Tortoise.
In the previous life, a super guild did this. Combined, they were absurdly powerful, almost without opponents. If not for their arrogance and provoking the old chairman, they wouldn't have been defeated.
Wait, defeated.
Suddenly, Li Cunxu felt that forming the Four Symbols Legion might not be such a great idea.
No matter how strong the Four Symbols Legion is, can it surpass the old chairman?
Not at all.
With a backhand slap, the old chairman could wipe it out.
Moreover, the resources required to cultivate the Four Symbols Legion are vast, and resources related to the Four Symbols are much more expensive than resources of the same level and quality. They are very scarce on the market because everyone knows the power of the Four Symbols Legion, and many families are replicating it.
A super guild, using the strength of all its players, managed to form the Four Symbols Legion.
How could Li Cunxu and Li Anle achieve it?
Li Cunxu also realized one problem, imposing his idea on Li Anle is unfair.
Just because Li Anle has no thoughts about pet beasts now doesn't mean she won't have her own ideas in the future.
She has been bedridden by him since childhood, unable to move, and she doesn't understand pet beasts at all, so of course, she doesn't have any thoughts. Once she gets in touch with pet beasts, she will naturally develop her own ideas.
"Brother, do you have any ideas?"
"Yes, but thinking it over carefully, it's not suitable, so I gave up."
"Alright, stop sticking to me. I need to meditate and train. Go play by yourself."
Li Cunxu lifted Li Anle, who was kneeling on him, off.
Thinking again, it seemed inappropriate, so he went out with Li Anle.
The Mechanical Annihilation Hunter showed a shocked expression, as it had been watching the ranch gate and hadn't seen Li Cunxu bring in a little girl from outside.
When did the ranch owner bring the little girl in?
Li Cunxu introduced, "This is my sister, Li Anle, my biological sister."
"This is the Mechanical Annihilation Hunter, the most outstanding ranch guard."
"Mechanical, why are you so surprised to see someone coming out of my house? Did you not notice before?"
That shouldn't be the case! Even the invisible Blood Wind Thoughts, it can detect.
The Mechanical Annihilation Hunter said, "The cabin is the ranch owner's home; I won't pry into the owner's privacy."
This professional ethics.
Li Cunxu gave a thumbs up.
As for the invisible Blood Wind Thoughts, if it honestly hid inside Li Cunxu's cabin, the Mechanical Annihilation Hunter might not detect it.
But it insisted on wandering around.
Li Cunxu instructed the guard dog to help look after the child.
"Anle, you can only play in the ranch, not go out."
"Okay."
Li Anle obediently agreed.
When Li Cunxu entered the house, Li Anle walked up to the guard dog, clasped her hands together, and adorably pleaded.
"Big dog, can you let me ride for a bit, please?"
Ah Huang picked up Li Anle, tossed her onto its back, and joyfully ran around the grass.
The Mechanical Annihilation Hunter was extremely surprised; Ah Huang agreed.
How could Ah Huang agree? It's the most loyal, and no strangers are allowed except for the owner.
The Mechanical Annihilation Hunter observed closely and found that Ah Huang seemed a bit off, as if it was bewitched.
How is this possible?
Ah Huang is female; how could it be charmed by a little girl?
The Mechanical Annihilation Hunter watched Li Anle for a while and thought, "What a cute little girl. Ah Huang's resistance isn't great; don't blame the little girl."
The Mechanical Annihilation Hunter suddenly realized, alarmingly thinking, the ranch owner's sister is quite unusual.
It must be noted that it's a mechanical pet and doesn't have a concept of cuteness for humans.
Li Cunxu saw the phone and suddenly remembered that he had previously reported to confuse the Blood Wind Thoughts, and now that his sister was back, he wondered if he should inform Officer Lin.
After some consideration, Li Cunxu put the phone back on the table.
He definitely needed to inform Officer Lin, but not right now.
What if he told Officer Lin, and Officer Lin insisted on coming to see Li Anle, what then?
Li Anle has become smaller, completely different from before, how should he explain that?
"It's hard to explain, might as well not mention it for now."
He planned to wait until Li Anle developed the mutated Holy Lotus Eye, then notify the Saint Lotus Li Family to take his sister away, and then inform Officer Lin.
Li Cunxu closed his eyes and meditated.
Meditation ended at four o'clock.
Li Cunxu sighed; his meditation progress was neither slow nor fast, just average, the level of an ordinary person.
But at this rate, he would inevitably hold back his pet beast in the future.
"Looks like I need to find a way to increase my meditation speed."
There are many ways to increase meditation speed, most of which Li Cunxu couldn't afford.
There was one cheap and effective method, but it was too painful.
White Leaf Scorpion's venom can increase meditation speed, but only the bravest of the brave would attempt it.
The venom of the White Leaf Scorpion isn't highly toxic, but when it stings a person, it is especially painful, as if millions of White Leaf Scorpions are gnawing at your bone marrow, tearing at your flesh, your eyes, your brain, with immense pain.
The pain comes not only from the body but also from the spirit.
In the game, even with the pain set to the lowest ten percent, it was so painful that Li Cunxu's consciousness disconnected from the game pod.
"Can the pain of the White Leaf Scorpion's venom be reduced? It seems some NPCs have researched it, but without success, forget it."
He couldn't handle even ten percent of the pain, let alone one hundred percent.
"Actually, using the White Leaf Scorpion's venom also trains willpower. If the pain can be reduced a bit, it might be worth trying."
Time flows like an irretrievable river, in the blink of an eye, it's been a month since Xiaoruan subdued its first Slime subject.
Li Cunxu eagerly anticipated, after a month of development and expansion, the number of Slimes subdued now totals over a hundred thousand.
"It's time to collect taxes."
Five star points drifted from each Slime subject, converging from all directions above the Soul Kingdom, like a beautiful galaxy in the universe.
The black star points represent the soul tax.
The blue star points represent the spirit tax.
The gold star points represent the physique tax.
The multicolored star points represent the spiritual ability tax.
The white star points represent the skill experience tax.
Li Cunxu felt this tax collection to be a bit greedy, taxing even the soul, though it's only one percent each time.
Li Cunxu was a bit worried that collecting the soul tax might kill the Slimes.
What Li Cunxu didn't know was that collecting the soul tax was not only harmless to the Slimes but beneficial.
Because each time a soul tax is collected, a Slime's soul will break through a little limit, and the soul will recover and grow a bit in a very short time.
The other taxes are the same, harmless and beneficial, capable of breaking the inherent racial limits binding the Slimes.
The black star points merged into Xiaoruan's body, its weak soul rapidly growing.
The blue star points merged into Xiaoruan's body, its spiritual power exploding in growth.
The gold star points merged into Xiaoruan's body, its size increasing at a speed visible to the naked eye.
Li Cunxu had a bit of a headache; size isn't always better, especially for such fragile creatures as Slimes.
"This size in a fight with humans is practically a sitting duck, gotta get Xiaoruan a [Shrink] skill."
The multicolored star points merged into Xiaoruan's body, a huge amount of spiritual energy pouring in.
Li Cunxu was dumbfounded.
This spiritual energy turned out to be permanent, not depleting once used.
The influx of spiritual energy permanently expanded Xiaoruan's spiritual energy cap and permanently increased its recovery rate.
Moreover, the different attributes of the spiritual energy bestowed different attributes upon Xiaoruan.
For example, grass-type energy granted Xiaoruan the grass attribute.
Earth-type energy granted Xiaoruan the earth attribute.
Now, opening Xiaoruan's panel, the attribute field shows a bunch of attributes.
[Pet Beast]: Water Slime (Xiaoruan)
[Attributes]: Water, Grass, Earth, Poison, Wind.
Four new attributes at once.
The last white star point merged into Xiaoruan's body, insights surfaced in its mind, and Xiaoruan instantly learned the Grass Slime's grass blade, Earth Slime's mud throw, Garbage Slime's garbage gas, Winged Slime's gust, and the collision skill that all Slimes know.
The learning of skills wasn't over; the excess insights seemed to transform into skill experience, skill proficiency rapidly increasing.
Water Ball: Novice → Skilled → Mastery → Perfect → Breakthrough → Second Breakthrough.
Grass Blade: Novice → Skilled → Mastery → Perfect → Breakthrough → Second Breakthrough.
Mud Throw: Novice → Skilled → Mastery → Perfect → Breakthrough.
...
Collision: Novice → Skilled → Mastery → Perfect → Breakthrough → Second Breakthrough → Third Breakthrough.
Breakthrough, surpassing the original limits of a skill.
With enough breakthroughs, even a Black Iron-level Water Ball skill could rival a King-level skill.
"Xiaoruan, this is soaring straight to the top!"
