Chapter 553: Chapter 352 Exclusive Beast Training Skill Concept!_1

"Hm?"

Lu Ran’s sudden whimsical idea caught the attention of both Six Paths Flower and Manager Ying.

"Currently, the Beast Training Techniques learned by Beast Trainers on Star-Moon and Blue Star are mostly developed by others."

"Although thanks to the mighty power of Infinite City, Beast Trainers quickly master the corresponding Beast Training Techniques, historically speaking, these techniques are not perfectly suited for them."

"According to the records, Beast Trainers at the Legendary Level will try to develop Beast Training Techniques of their own."

"Like Emperor Yan Sizhen’s Flame Spirit, it is one of the top Beast Training Techniques developed by himself. However, it has been proven that the Flame Spirit ultimately suits only Emperor Yan Sizhen himself. Even his direct descendants cannot match the Flame Spirit as perfectly as he does."

"At this stage, I’ve learned a bunch of Beast Training Techniques thanks to the rewards from Infinite City, but it’s the same principle—these Techniques were developed by others. They might help me at certain stages, but after all, they’re not mine... and cannot exert their full strength."

"Now that the Divine Deer has opened a Beast Training Space for me, and with the existence of the Breakthrough Secret Realm, I don’t have to meditate to upgrade the Beast Training Space like other Beast Trainers, so I have plenty of time to research, develop, and create my own Beast Training Techniques."

"What do you guys think about me trying to create a Beast Training Technique exclusive to myself that suits Mr. Husky and the others?"

As Lu Ran finished speaking, Manager Ying yawned and said, "You kid always has so many fanciful ideas. People usually start creating Beast Training Techniques after reaching Legendary Level, and you want to start at Level 4?"

Six Paths Flower laughed, "It’s not impossible. The fundamental difference between Legendary Beast Trainers and low-level Beast Trainers is that Legendary Beast Trainers can start to pave their own way. If you can be clear about your own path early on, that’s also a good thing."

Legendary Beast Trainers, when they start to create their own Beast Training Techniques, generally can produce Techniques that suit themselves better and can unleash greater power!

"Don’t you have the Super Beast Mimicry Skill?"

"Your pet beast has excellent comprehension. The comprehension of my Mortal Path form can also feedback to you. Plus, being chosen by the Divine Deer means you have decent talent. Perhaps you could give it a try."

"If you can create a Beast Training Technique exclusive to yourself before reaching Legendary level, your strength would indeed be greatly enhanced."

"Right?" Lu Ran, affirmed, was full of confidence.

The Divine Deer had helped him open a Beast Training Space, but because he didn’t want to miss out on the rewards from Infinite City, he still used Black Card instead of the Beast Training Space for any new pet beast contracts.

However, if a Beast Training Space was opened and left unused, it would also be a waste.

On the Star-Moon Continent, most Beast Training Techniques rely on the Beast Training Space, whether for learning, developing, or creating. This is why Beast Trainers from Blue Star, who have obtained individual Beast Training Technique cultivation methods in the Breakthrough Secret Realm, cannot practice them.

Now that Lu Ran had a Beast Training Space, those unpracticed Beast Training Techniques could naturally be trained. But restricted by energy, and without time to develop those learned through Skill Cards, he definitely couldn’t just haphazardly learn a bunch without a plan.

Thus, the most efficient use of the Beast Training Space seemed to be to try creating his own Beast Training Techniques.

"Then do you already have an idea, what kind of effect do you want to create with a Beast Training Technique?" Manager Ying asked.

Lu Ran said, "I want to create a technique that can enhance a pet beast’s combat power in all aspects after use. There should be quite a few Techniques like that, but they are suited to others and not necessarily to me."

"Any other ideas?"

"Then you’re talking rubbish!" Manager Ying snapped angrily.

The document was just created, wasn’t it?

Lu Ran showed an innocent expression, "Creating a Beast Training Technique is not so easy. We’ll take it slow, take it slow."

"You don’t have any ideas at all?" Six Paths Flower asked.

"It’s not that I have none at all," Lu Ran said. "...When thinking about enhancing pet beasts in all aspects, the first thing that comes to my mind is ’evolution’."

"Evolution is a rare phenomenon that permanently enhances a pet beast in all aspects, but evolution is very hard to come by, like in the Star-Moon World without Infinite City’s help, it’s not simple for a pet beast to evolve."

"If possible, I would like to develop a Beast Training Technique that allows pet beasts to ’temporarily evolve’ at their current stage, to greatly enhance their strength during battles through temporary evolution."

"At that time, even a small improvement in race will give a pet beast a far greater boost than any enhancement-type Beast Training Technique."

"Even during this process, the pet beast may acquire new abilities."

"However, the so-called phenomenon of evolution usually requires an ’environment’ or ’external force’ to stimulate the pet beast, which is a challenge for a Beast Training Technique to temporarily create such a stimulus, and what to use to create it."

Upon hearing this, Manager Ying said, "It sounds similar to Fusion Skills and Fusion Skills."

"The combined skill of a Beast Trainer and a pet beast, turning both into a different fused species, is also a kind of evolution."

"The same goes for Fusion Skills that allow two pet beasts to merge and transform. It’s also a kind of evolution."

"However, both skills require compatibility and are not suitable for everyone."

Fusion Skills were a Beast Training Technique developed by a mixed-blood Beast Trainer in history. His fusion with a pet beast that shared the same bloodline could unleash a power far beyond what pure Humans could achieve in fusion with their pet beasts.

Similarly, the effects produced by the fusion of a pure-blooded Beast Trainer with pet beasts of a different race also differ.

Therefore, although this skill fits Lu Ran’s definition of a Beast Training Technique, it is not perfectly suited for Lu Ran.

"Soul."

"What about Soul Evolution?"

In the midst of the conversation, Lu Ran suddenly said, "The distinctive feature of undead beings is possession."

"After possession, the attributes of the possessed subject can be enhanced to a degree."

"If I consider myself as an undead pet beast, and I possess my own contracted pet beast, what would the effect be?"

Manager Ying: ?

"Of course, just plain possession, bringing an attribute boost, is worlds apart from the boost brought by evolution."

"Based on soul possession, how to enable a pet beast to undergo temporary evolution after being possessed is the next challenge..."

Lu Ran pulled out a stack of necromancy books he had brought back from the Necromancy Cult, saying, "Although I’ve looked through them many times, I think it’s necessary to review them again..."

"The evolution of most creatures is centered on the physical body, at most involving their attribute, but the evolution of the soul seems worth studying."

"Hold on, that’s too harsh on the soul, isn’t it?"

Manager Ying curled her lip, a beast trainer’s soul possessing a pet beast, you really dared to think about it, weren’t you afraid of being beaten to soul fragmentation?

Do you think those other legendary necromancers don’t do this because they treasure their lives?

"That is a bit... But there are always more solutions than difficulties."

Lu Ran suddenly looked up again, gazing at Manager Ying.

"Using the actual soul to possess and strengthen a pet beast is indeed a bit dangerous, but what about using a soul avatar?"

"As long as I learn from the Dark Crow and develop the ability to create soul avatars, letting a soul avatar be the possessor, then there would be no problem."

"Alright, alright," Manager Ying said, and stopped arguing.

But the problem remained the same.

The normal soul possession provides limited enhancement to a pet beast.

And it’s vastly different from the "temporary evolution" that Lu Ran mentioned.

Clearly, Manager Ying had underestimated Lu Ran’s determination.

The next moment, Lu Ran suddenly looked at Manager Ying with a green gleam in his eyes, his thoughts growing even more outlandish.

"Manager Ying, I remember the Pine God saying that your clones are quite special, right?"

"Not only can they teleport between worlds, but they can also enter into contracts with others and enter Infinite City."

"Also, when a clone merges with the original body, the original body’s strength can be enhanced."

"This case shows that a clone’s malleability is quite strong..."

"So, is it possible for me to develop... a special soul avatar?!"

"I treat the soul avatar as a resource for evolution, nurture it like a soul tonic, cultivate it specifically, just like your different clones."

"Then, let the pet beast consume my soul avatar to achieve a brief ’soul evolution’."

"You’re a super expert in clone skills, do you have any advice??"

"Damn it," Manager Ying cursed, "No wonder you became the Saint Heir of the Necromancy Cult, you and your crow are both outrageous, even thinking about letting a pet beast consume your soul for evolution."

"Is that a normal thought for a beast trainer to have?"

"I bet there haven’t been many necromancers purer than you in history!"

Lu Ran sneered.

"No other way, to become stronger, I have to be harsh with myself."

"After discussing with you, I now have a preliminary idea."

"First, I need to learn the clone skill, then, through Super Beast Mimicry, I’ll combine the characteristics of each pet beast to cultivate a corresponding soul avatar."

"For example, with Mr. Husky here, I can completely cultivate a [Werewolf Form Swordsmanship Soul Avatar], then later on, I can merge it into Mr. Husky, allowing Mr. Husky to coordinate with his body control to temporarily evolve into a [Werewolf Swordsman], merging with my swordsmanship talent to obtain a stronger posture in sword dao."

"I just don’t know how effective it would be..."

"However, it feels like everything hinges on whether the soul avatar is strong enough."

Lu Ran looked at Manager Ying again and laughed maniacally, "If only my Beast Training Space could contract my own soul avatar, nurturing it like a pet beast with soul enhancement techniques, the soul avatar would undoubtedly be strong, Manager Ying, teach me, I want to learn how to create clones!!!"

Crazy.

Completely crazy.

Manager Ying desperately looked at the Six Paths Flower, feeling that Lu Ran had already become possessed.

The very idea of contracting oneself, was there any hope left?

They wanted you to innovate beast training techniques, not to overturn the entire beast training system!

"Give it try~~~~"

"Umph~~~"

"The king is brilliant!!! The king is brilliant!!"

However, at that moment, aside from Manager Ying who found it all ridiculous, the various pet beasts contracted by Lu Ran seemed to have no objections at all, which made Manager Ying even more frustrated.

Great, you’re all enjoying the spectacle without worrying about the consequences; her clones are a talent, good luck teaching Lu Ran that much.

Meanwhile, the child laborer Yun Bao was still on the way...
