183: Another way to classify
Hearing Luo Chen's words, Li Wenhao's face showed a smile.
"Of course, it can't be found on the map. My teacher prefers peace and quiet.
Besides invited guests and us senior brothers, even if others reach the vicinity of Cun You Mountain, they won't be able to enter."
Luo Chen realized. He summoned the Azure Smoke Flowing Cloud Crane, "Third Senior Brother, can you let my Beast recognize the way? That way, I won't have to bother you when I go out in the future."
Li Wenhao looked at the Azure Smoke Flowing Cloud Crane, and a look of surprise appeared in his eyes. With his eyesight, he could naturally tell that this Beast had not been contracted.
However, to use a Beast with three Earth-Tier Skills just as a mount, isn't that a bit too luxurious?
Even if these Skills were considered lower-middle tier among Earth-Tier evaluations, it was undeniable that Earth-Tier was Earth-Tier, which represented their potential to break through the Wild Rank.
After only a brief moment ofstunned, Li Wenhao composed himself. "Alright."
The Azure Smoke Flowing Cloud Crane also transformed into a streak of light and appeared outside the Mechanical Armor, but this time, no white clouds followed it.
Its cyan wings flapped gently, effortlessly following behind the Mechanical Armor.
Li Wenhao intended to test the Azure Smoke Flowing Cloud Crane's maximum speed, so he gradually increased the Mechanical Armor's cruising speed.
The Azure Smoke Flowing Cloud Crane had only been promoted to a King-Ranked Beast for two months at most, and it was currently only at King Beast Three-Star State.
This promotion speed was already terrifying, considering that Luo Chen had not prioritized resources for it.
It merely drank spiritual spring water, and when Luo Chen didn't need it, he would let it cultivate in a spirit-rich secret realm. This promotion speed was simply frightening in the eyes of other Breeders.
However, although the Azure Smoke Flowing Cloud Crane had an advantage in speed, that was only among King Beasts. In front of a Wild Rank like the Mechanical Armor, even if the Mechanical Armor wasn't sailing at full power, the Azure Smoke Flowing Cloud Crane gradually started to fall behind.
But Li Wenhao looked at the Azure Smoke Flowing Cloud Crane, which was slowly falling behind, with a look of admiration. He first had the Mechanical Armor slow down so that the Azure Smoke Flowing Cloud Crane could keep up.
Then he said to Luo Chen, "This Azure Smoke Flowing Cloud Crane has excellent speed. Is your shop going to sell Beasts like this?"
Luo Chen hesitated and nodded. Li Wenhao was the second person to praise the Azure Smoke Flowing Cloud Crane today.
Originally, Luo Chen had no intention of selling such Beasts, but now his mind was completely stirred. Could it be that fast Beasts that could be used as mounts were more popular in the capital?
Because he didn't know much about the Beast market in the capital, Luo Chen decided to ask Li Wenhao, a local, for his opinion.
"Third Senior Brother, what kind of Beasts do you think are more popular in the capital?"
Li Wenhao pondered for a moment before answering Luo Chen's question.
"In terms of Type, Time, Fate, Mystery, and Life-Type Beasts are always in the first tier, no matter where you are.
The second tier consists of Space-Type and Mental Type Beasts with special Skills.
Finally, the third tier includes Elemental, Martial, Sound, and Nether-Type, and so on. Of course, this is based on Type, and it's pretty much the same everywhere.
Only in different regions will there be variations in popularity within the third tier.
For example, in cities near the coast, where there are more pure marine secret realms, Water Type Elemental Beasts are relatively more popular than other Beasts."
He paused, then looked at Luo Chen, whose eyes were clear and who clearly had some understanding, and continued:
"Actually, based on the different Skill tendencies of Beasts, us Breeders have another classification for Beasts.
That is, according to the main tendency of their Skills, they are divided into four major categories: Support, Output, Crowd Control, and Resource.
Support is further divided into Healing, Shielding, Buffing, or All-Round.
Output is also divided into close-combat melee Type and energy-bombardment Type, according to the different forms of Skill attacks. Uh, or it might be more appropriate to call them Warriors and Mages, as in games.
Crowd Control is a bit more complex, as it's divided into Field-Type, which interferes with the entire external environment, or Binding-Type, which directly affects the target.
As for Resource, as the name suggests, most of their Skills are mediocre, and when they don't have special abilities in other areas, they are studied for what roles their meat or various body parts can serve, to be used as resources.
However, because this classification system was not very rigorous, it became popular for a while and then gradually fell out of favor. This is because the Skill composition of Beasts is too complex, and they cannot be fully defined by this classification system.
Nevertheless, it still has some reference value. As the saying goes, 'ironclad support, flowing C.' Beasts with good support Skills are naturally the most popular kind.
Then come Beasts that can stably control the field. Once support Beasts and crowd control Beasts are handled, the battle situation is basically set, and finally come Beasts with violent output Skills.
So, if possible, Junior Brother, if you cultivate more support Beasts, it will help you open up the market in the highly competitive capital."
Li Wenhao's words were like opening a new world for Luo Chen. "So, in that case, is the Azure Smoke Flowing Cloud Crane a Crowd Control-Type Beast?"
Li Wenhao reviewed the Azure Smoke Flowing Cloud Crane's information again before slowly analyzing it for Luo Chen: "According to that definition, it should be a strong Crowd Control, weak Support-Type Beast.
Look, the two Skills, 'Whirlwind Blade Roll' and 'Cloud Rain,' both have strong crowd control effects. 'Azure Mist' can block the detection of other Beasts to a certain extent.
And the Skill 'Rapid Flowing Cloud' is purely a support Skill. If, during combat, it could also transform the Beast Master it carries into scattered flowing clouds and then reassemble them,
That would truly be an absolute divine Skill."
Li Wenhao raised his eyebrows, as if he had thought of something, and his tone became a little excited.
"I also thought that you could cultivate extremely fast Beasts like the Azure Smoke Flowing Cloud Crane. It seems to be very popular among the children of those aristocratic families right now."
Luo Chen nodded thoughtfully, a look of eagerness appearing in his eyes. "Okay, I have a direction now. Thank you, Third Senior Brother."
Then the two discussed the classification of Mechanical Armor and Sky Domain Battleship, and they unanimously agreed that Mechanical Armor belonged to the strong Output, weak Support-Type Beast, while Sky Domain Battleship was a strong Output, weak Crowd Control Beast.
Soon, in the midst of their discussion, Cun You Mountain had already arrived.
As they said goodbye, Li Wenhao handed Luo Chen three Skill crystals.
"These three are all Multiplication Skill crystals. I believe they should be enough for your Overturning Sea Cloud Whale to learn."
Luo Chen looked at the Skill crystals in his hand with surprise, thanked Li Wenhao, and as they were about to part ways, Luo Chen asked,
"Senior Brother, where are you going to put the Lingbao Mystical Tree? I'd like to go see it and study its special State when I have time."
Li Wenhao, suspecting nothing, pointed to a verdant mountain not far from them. "I'll put it on that mountain first. Junior Brother can go see it yourself when you have time."
Luo Chen nodded, said goodbye to Li Wenhao, and returned to his small villa.
Standing on the roof of the small villa, Luo Chen summoned the thousand-meter-long little one, then handed one of the three Skill crystals to it, signaling it to absorb and comprehend.
The absorption process varied from Beast to Beast; some directly swallowed it, while others refined it with their Mental Type energy.
For the little one, it was naturally direct swallowing. Although the Skill crystal was one-third the size of Luo Chen's palm, it was like a tiny grain of sand to the little one.
It even swallowed it without feeling anything noticeable.
After a while, the little one's body suddenly shrank to half its original size, and then in the next moment, it continued to shrink.
Finally, it shrank to about thirty to forty meters long, and judging by the little one's focused Mental Type, this should be its limit.
Luo Chen looked at the little one, which had returned to a smaller size, and excitedly wanted to hug it, but the next instant, its body suddenly enlarged a lot.
Inadvertently, it bumped Luo Chen away. Luo Chen, who had barely managed to stabilize himself in mid-air, stared at the little one with a face full of black lines.
He rubbed his head helplessly, "You'd better go back to the Beast Space obediently first. Come out and frolic when you've mastered this Skill."
The little one blinked its eyes, which were over ten meters tall, then nodded aggrievedly, not resisting Luo Chen's summons, and returned to the Beast Space.
Luo Chen scratched his head, recalling if he had seen its Evolution Path when he was looking at the little one's information just now.
Unsure, Luo Chen suspected he had seen things, so he decided to summon the little one out again to take a look.
The little one, who had just entered the Beast Space, looked bewildered as it reappeared outside, looking at Luo Chen with some confusion.
Its current size was about ten meters, so the meaning expressed in its eyes was very clear:
Little one: Beast Master, have you changed your mind? Can I go frolic now?
