Luo Chen simply couldn't believe that a Beast Master who had just advanced to Spirit Beast could possess six Skills, two of which were Earth-Tier, even if one of them was merely a passive Skill like Devour Flame.
Logically speaking, it wasn't that Spirit Beasts couldn't have so many Skills, but that usually only Beast Masters who had been in the Spirit Tier for many years with no hope of advancement would spend more time learning Skills to find hope for their own breakthrough.
However, it was rare for a Beast Master to gain three new racial Skills immediately after evolving; most would only add effects or undergo mutations based on their original Skills.
“This Beast Master is excellent.” Luo Yuheng had clearly also seen the Ice Flame Lion King’s Skill description and couldn't help but exclaim in admiration.
Although Luo Yang didn't yet know the specific situation of the Ice Flame Lion King, seeing Luo Chen's astonished expression and hearing Luo Yuheng's praise, he knew that he had made the right gamble this time.
The next moment, the feedback from Chi Yan's evolution into a Spirit Beast arrived on him.
A layer of eerie blue flames suddenly appeared on his body, but it caused no harm, like a phantom.
Considering his Beast Master talent, Ability Inheritance, and the fact that the Ice Flame Lion King hadn't yet mastered its Skills, this kid might also experience Skill loss of control.
Luo Yuheng, with quick eyes and hands, opened the door to the cultivation room and decisively threw Luo Yang in as well.
“You two will be released when you learn to control the power within you.”
With that, he unhesitatingly locked the door of the cultivation room from the outside.
If other Beast Masters advanced to Spirit Beast, it would likely only be an improvement in physical fitness, reaction ability, and the level of energy within their bodies.
However, Luo Yang was capable of inheriting the Beast Master's Skills, so all the changes in Chi Yan would likely appear in him as well.
Before he could control his own power, it was better not to go out and cause trouble.
“It's getting late, Xiao Chen, let's go back and rest.”
Luo Chen looked at Luo Yang, whose head was covered in eerie blue flames, inside the cultivation room, and gently tapped on the glass.
“Little brother, you transform well in there. Big brother will come see you tomorrow.”
The two brothers looked at each other through the glass window, truly resembling a prison visit.
However, after hearing Luo Chen's words, the frustration on Luo Yang's face almost solidified.
“Brother, do you have to be like this?”
“Haha, you should hurry and familiarize yourself with your power. We'll come see you tomorrow morning.”
After speaking, Luo Chen followed Luo Yuheng downstairs and went home. As for sleeping that night, as Spirit-Rank Beast Masters, staying up for one night was not a problem.
Luo Yang and Chi Yan, left in the cultivation room, exchanged glances. Luo Yang sighed and said, “Hurry and master your power, or else we won't be able to get out tomorrow morning.”
With that, Luo Yang closed his eyes, feeling the energy flowing through his body, trying to control it.
After this feedback, he, being able to inherit the Beast Master's power, also became aware of all the Skills Chi Yan currently possessed.
Soon, a fist-sized ice-blue fireball emerged from his body and smashed against the wall.
Or a three-meter-tall giant made of Ice Flame appeared, moving left and right or constantly waving its arms under Luo Yang's control.
Cold white flames also spread outwards from around him, but they couldn't advance an inch near Chi Yan, because Chi Yan had also unleashed the Skill called Ice Fire Blazing Plains. One person and one beast each occupied half of the cultivation room.
From initially releasing Skills individually to finally one person and one beast confronting each other with Skills, it was unknown when they would completely master the power they now possessed.
Luo Chen, who arrived at the store early in the morning, saw Luo Yang and Chi Yan nestled together, sleeping in the cultivation room.
Luo Chen opened the door to the cultivation room and woke up the person and beast who were sound asleep.
“Wake up, eat breakfast, then go home and rest.”
Luo Yang and Chi Yan, who had just woken up, were slightly dazed. “Okay.”
Their voices were soft, indicating that practicing Skills yesterday had indeed exhausted them.
However, after eating the breakfast Luo Chen brought, the person and beast who wanted to go back to rest still couldn't.
The effect of the Chenyang Pet Store, which Liang Jingsi mentioned during the auction of the Fragrant Spirit Affinity Rabbit at the Qingyun Rare Item Auction yesterday, indeed became apparent today.
Not long after Luo Chen opened the store, the number of customers grew wildly, and soon the store was as noisy as a market.
Luo Yang looked at the bustling crowd downstairs and quickly decided that he would rather stay on the second floor, this clean sanctuary.
“Is this the pet store that bred the Fragrant Spirit Affinity Rabbit? The decor looks pretty good.”
“Are these Beast Masters from the sea in this cage? Weren't these the Beast Masters that appeared during the siege a few days ago?”
“Why does a store like this also sell low-level Beast Masters like Fragrant Rabbit?”
“Wow, this Frost Wolf looks so mighty. 120,000 spirit coins, never mind.”
“Where's the boss? I'll buy this Lightning Rat.”
However, besides these questions or discussions about the store, there was also all sorts of noise.
“Brother, move aside, you stepped on my foot.”
“Ow, ow, sorry, didn't see you, didn't see you.”
Amidst the surging crowd, from time to time came, “How dare you push me, young master?”
“Damn, whose young master? Let me see?”
“Ah, so it's Young Master Liang? My apologies.”
Luo Chen stood at the top of the stairs on the second floor, looking at the dense crowd on the first floor, feeling his temples throbbing incessantly.
He roared with the loudest voice he had ever used in his life: “Silence!”
Startled by this sudden sound, the people on the first floor all looked towards the source of the voice.
Seeing that he had attracted everyone's attention, Luo Chen took a deep breath and calmly said, “Those of you who just said you wanted to buy Beast Masters, please come to the front desk to check out.”
With that, he gracefully walked downstairs. Even though the crowd was dense, they still managed to clear a small path for him, and fortunately, Luo Chen was slender enough to successfully reach the cashier.
“You want to buy a Frost Wolf? That will be 120,000 spirit coins.”
“Lightning Rat, 73,000 spirit coins.”
“Cold Bone Fish? 320,000 spirit coins.”
“Those two Fragrant Rabbits? They are ornamental Beast Masters, not for sale.”
…
After a while, Luo Chen registered everyone who wanted to buy Beast Masters. Seeing that all the Beast Masters had been sold, some people still spoke up saying they wanted to buy, but Luo Chen directly refused them.
“Alright, I'm sorry, all the Beast Masters in Chenyang Pet Store have been sold out. We are closed for business today. Thank you for your patronage.
Except for those who purchased Beast Masters, other customers, please exit in an orderly fashion. Thank you again for your patronage.”
Luo Chen repeated this sentence twice before customers gradually started leaving.
Some stubborn individuals who didn't want to leave were persuaded by Luo Chen one by one before they finally departed.
After nearly an hour of commotion, the store finally quieted down, leaving only those who had purchased Beast Masters.
Luo Chen looked at the crowd gathered outside the store who refused to disperse and unhesitatingly closed the store door.
