104: Undiscovered attribute - combat

“Not bad, not bad. Two new skills awakened.”

“Wait a moment, Battle Attribute skills?”

Lin Shu fell into contemplation, looking at the Battle Attribute that appeared in Tu Yao's attribute bar. He hadn't expected this evolution to grant Tu Yao this unexpected Battle Attribute, a previously undiscovered attribute!

“But why wasn’t it mentioned in the evolution pathway?”

“Could this be an attribute whose birth cannot be determined?”

Lin Shu shook his head, not thinking too much about it. Clearly, this wasn't a bad thing.

He just didn't know what effect this attribute had.

Although there had never been any records or literature documenting it, from the name alone, some clues could be discerned.

He then began to examine the two advanced Battle Attribute skills.

First was the skill Martial Heart.

“Endless Battle Qi erupts from the heart, gathering Battle Qi around the body, capable of chiseling stone.”

“Courage and conviction are the fuel for Battle Qi.”

“The heavier the injury, the faster Battle Qi gathers.”

“Greatly reduces damage caused by Mental attacks, moderately reduces the duration of other control-type skills.”

Based on the description and introduction, its power was evident.

“A Mental attribute bane!”

“Indeed, and it can also negate most control skills.”

This directly elevated Tu Yao's overall standing to a new height.

No wonder he felt a surge of powerful aura, imbued with an unstoppable momentum, at the end of the evolution.

It seemed this was the outward manifestation of the Battle Attribute.

Next was the second skill, Battle Qi Release. Lin Shu carefully observed the skill's effects.

“Surging Battle Qi leaves the body, materializing from the void to attack opponents, causing Mental damage.”

“There is a chance to inflict negative effects such as trembling, fright, and loss of resistance.”

Lin Shu understood that this was a replica of the Mental Shock skill.

Only the medium had changed to this never-before-heard-of Battle Qi attribute.

It also filled the gap in Lin Shu's Beastmaster team, which lacked Mental attack methods.

Such a powerful and widely useful attribute was in no way inferior to the four special attributes.

It could completely stand alongside them. However, even Lin Shu was completely bewildered by how it was obtained.

Overall, Tu Yao's evolution this time was a complete metamorphosis, with his combat power greatly transformed.

Even compared to Black Night, he wasn't far off. The proficiency gained over the past few days hadn't been in vain.

He wondered what his current combat power was like. He needed to find an opportunity to test Tu Yao's strength.

As his thoughts drifted, Lin Shu now had a complete understanding.

He immediately thought of Rock Skin (Passive) - Micro (186/200).

The improvements over the past half-month had almost pushed it to the Instinctive Level.

This would make Tu Yao the first beast in Lin Shu's Beastmaster team to reach the Instinctive Level.

Seeing that it was only 14 proficiency points short, Lin Shu had Tu Yao put it down.

After informing him of what might happen shortly,

With a thought, he directly raised Rock Skin to the Instinctive Level.

Tu Yao, who was standing by, felt an unbearable itch on his skin.

Beneath the tough rocky hide, something seemed to want to emerge.

His original body became even more compact, as if infinite power was circulating within it.

Lin Shu stared intently at Tu Yao, wondering if this time an Profound Truth would directly manifest.

This was an experiment, so it wouldn't be surprising if nothing happened.

Considering his mentor's level, Dao Yao only had three Profound Truths. This clearly indicated the difficulty involved.

Just as Lin Shu thought the changes had ended and nothing had happened,

Tu Yao tightly closed his eyes, spreading his thick, massive arms out to the sides, as if welcoming something.

Around him, small, earth-yellow spheres, only the size of marbles, suddenly appeared.

They shimmered with bright light, gathering on Tu Yao's two broad palms.

A huge energy stirred up a rolling dust storm. The soil beneath his feet also seemed eager, as if it wanted to burst forth immediately.

Clearly, these movements were caused by the earth-yellow spheres.

They were the essence of earth elements, attracting similar auras.

At this moment, Tu Yao felt the grandeur of the earth, its boundless weight and vast aura.

It was like he had become a child of the earth. The mud, stones, and flying sand in his vision, he could command and move them at will, becoming the master of this land.

The small area where Tu Yao stood instantly absorbed all the earth element energy in the evolution room.

The energy-providing medium below was almost completely drained.

Like a yellow sky curtain, it surrounded him, then vanished like a bubble in an instant, entering Tu Yao's body.

The earth-yellow spheres also turned into faint shadows and disappeared at this moment, as if they had never appeared.

Lin Shu clapped his hands in praise at such a sight. He hadn't expected that with just a brief attempt,

Tu Yao had actually comprehended the Earthly mysteries!

This truly gave him an enormous surprise.

Tu Yao still hadn't gotten up, but continued to sit cross-legged, absorbing the dense earth elements that had gathered due to the Earthly mysteries.

These energies were too difficult to absorb; it was truly not as simple as his master's direct allocation.

Tu Yao thought this as he consumed and absorbed the energy.

Lin Shu waited by his side, not in a hurry, waiting for the energy absorption to complete.

About half an hour later, all the energy was finally absorbed.

Tu Yao stood up, resembling a majestic mountain, his vast aura clearly evident.

At this point, Lin Shu opened his panel to check.

Indeed, a line explaining the Profound Truth had been added.

[Profound Truth]: Earthly mysteries - (0.005%)

Comprehending five ten-thousandths of the Profound Truth… but considering Tu Yao's level and growth time, it seemed reasonable.

These things were not achieved overnight; they required continuous effort to grow little by little.

The accompanying effects of the Profound Truth were also very powerful. His recently increased level had changed to this:

[Level]: LV25 (188/250)

It seemed that the effect of the energy flow induced by comprehending the Profound Truth could also greatly accelerate the growth rate of the beast.

Otherwise, the beast's level progression would be too slow later on.

This Profound Truth was truly a good thing; he needed to comprehend more of it in the future.

Although he didn't know the efficacy and abilities of the Profound Truth, he still had his mentor. He would ask him later.

The harvest of this day was truly immense; not only did the evolution succeed,

but he also comprehended the Profound Truth, which was only required by Spirit Origin Level beasts.

Immediately, Lin Shu led Tu Yao out of the evolution room and settled the bill.

In total, it was nine hours, costing 450,000 daxia currency.

Money flowed like water. Anything related to the Beastmaster profession was never cheap.

After paying, he headed towards the fishing spot.

At this time, his mentor and Wu Song certainly wouldn't be resting.

Tu Yao carried Lin Shu, running rapidly forward.

After the evolution, his previously insufficient speed had greatly improved.

It wasn't too fast now, but it was enough.

Soon, they arrived at the fishing spot.

At this moment, Gu Li was holding his fishing rod high, clearly having caught a big one!

Wu Song and the Dual-Bladed Mantis glanced over, clearly attracted as well.

The exaggerated bend was so extreme that the fishing rod seemed like it would snap at any moment…

“What a catch, Gu Li! This is a big one!”
