76: Unique skills
He immediately walked towards it. Coincidentally, the Bingjing Chong (Ice Crystal Bug) wasn't on the ice, so its mobility was almost zero at the moment.
Also, its evolution path—Bingjing Chong (Ice Crystal Bug) to Ice Frost Butterfly to Heavenly Frost Phoenix Butterfly—proves its commonality with insect-type creatures, greatly increasing the probability of it learning Skills.
Qingyan used Enter Dream on the almost immobile Bingjing Chong (Ice Crystal Bug), and as expected, it succeeded.
With the existence of Dark Erosion, it's unlikely that many pet beasts of the same stage, except for pure Psychic-type ones, could surpass Qingyan in mental strength.
Contracted Pet Beast: Qingyan (Sleeping)
...He turned to look at the Bingjing Chong (Ice Crystal Bug) and found nothing unusual about it.
Li Wen thought, "This indicates that the target of this Skill is merely a medium, and this Skill has no offensive capabilities at all; it's a self-targeting Skill."
"So, the target is just the card pool?"
As Li Wen was thinking, the panel started acting up again.
Enter Dream Simulator
You were born as a Bingjing Chong (Ice Crystal Bug). Following the customs of your species, you were abandoned by your parents.
At one year old, you discovered that your location was underground, and there were many nutrients prepared by your parents. You decided to stay here and eat them all.
Energy Value +100
At two years old, through your diligent eating, all the nutrients were consumed. You were forced to go to the surface and start searching for food there.
At three years old, during your search for food, you found the environment here to be icy and frozen everywhere. You began to try sliding on the ice, and you accidentally discovered that you had a lot of talent.
Skill [Ice Crystal Glide] learned successfully.
At four years old, you became more and more proficient at gliding and started to feel that your speed was unmatched, until you accidentally slid in front of a Monarch Tier pet beast and were crushed by its foot.
Your life has ended.
As the panel disappeared, Qingyan also woke up from the dream.
"Ying~"
"How was it? Did I learn a Skill?"
Her tone was excited, clearly already knowing the result and feeling that she had performed exceptionally well.
Li Wen unceremoniously read out Qingyan's life story at four years old in her dream to Yabao and Yuanwang to share.
"Ying~"
"Stop reading, stop reading, I was wrong."
Although she didn't understand how Li Wen knew about her experiences in the dream, Qingyan now felt that this Beastmaster was too outrageous.
A thought flashed through her mind: "What if this scumbag Beastmaster knows what I'm thinking?"
She began to silently repeat in her mind, frantically:
"Li Wen is the most brilliant and mighty Beastmaster in the world. He's good to pet beasts, and he's handsome. I super like him."
If Li Wen had known what she was thinking, he would definitely have said something like:
"You're too unlike me. A beast should have backbone. You should learn more from me in this regard."
In just this short while, Li Wen's secret realm had gained more than a dozen Slimes. He really did have somewhat 'unclean' hands.
Returning to the Beastmaster team, he recommended two more pet beasts to the other two.
Icefang Hound
attribute: Ice
Species: Agile High-grade
growth level: Entry-level Intermediate
Energy Value:
trait: Frost Fang: The Icefang Hound is naturally capable of controlling ice. Its sharp fangs can condense the power of ice, imbuing its attacks with a freezing effect.
Skill ①: Frost Charge: The Icefang Hound runs at extremely high speed, leaving a trail of ice in its path, causing deceleration and freezing effects on enemies it touches.
Skill ②: Icefang Bite: The Icefang Hound condenses the power of ice and uses its sharp fangs to bite enemies, dealing a large amount of damage while also applying a freezing effect, slowing down enemies.
Skill ③: Ice Shield: At critical moments, the Icefang Hound can quickly condense surrounding ice to form an indestructible ice shield, resisting enemy attacks while lowering the ambient temperature, dealing additional cold damage to enemies.
One of them lacked a pet beast like Yabao that could engage in direct combat, so the Icefang Hound was very suitable for him.
Snow Doll
attribute: Ice
Species: Agile High-grade
growth level: Entry-level Intermediate
Energy Value: 536
trait: Falling Snow: All snowflakes generated by the Snow Doll, under suitable environmental conditions, can remain on the field for a long time, affecting the field's temperature, and even contributing to avalanches.
(PS: What? You said it wouldn't hurt? Of course not, I'm stacking passive abilities.)
Skill ①: Blizzard: Blows a small gust of snowy wind. The wind carries snowflakes that cause a small amount of cutting damage to the target. The lower the temperature, the more snowflakes there are.
Skill ②: Avalanche Impact: The Snow Doll can control the surrounding ice and snow to trigger a small avalanche, causing a huge impact and damage to enemies, while using the chaos of the avalanche to create opportunities for escape or counterattack.
This Snow Doll is completely a large-area Skill-type mage pet beast. If this thing were added to Li Hanqing's ice-sealing system, her combat power would definitely double.
But for these guys, it would at mostSupplement the team's deficiencies. This is the power of a system.
After that battle, Li Wen clearly realized his shortcomings in this area; the synergy between his pet beasts was too weak.
However, changes cannot come from cultivation; each individual is unique, and not making each member a subordinate of others is Li Wen's principle.
So, he'll put more effort into researching tactics and developing Mystic forms.
The College Entrance Examination is not just an exchange between a few schools, but a competition for an entire province. He might encounter more outrageous guys, and those who have developed Mystic forms will definitely not be few.
While continuously accepting new members into the secret realm, when the number of Slimes reached 35, Yuanwang's panel Skill changed.
Skill: Leaders Aura (Mastered)
Skill Level: Intermediate Skill
...The proficiency of Leaders Aura changed to 'mastered,' and the Skill level directly became 'Intermediate Skill,' with no added points or evolution.
The only change was the growth of the population, but 35? Isn't that too irregular? The only possibility is that it's calculated based on the population's perspective, not the number of pet beasts.
If Entry-level Primary, Intermediate, and Advanced are calculated as 1, 3, and 10, then it would be exactly around 100.
And with the improvement of Leaders Aura, an additional Skill appeared out of nowhere.
