52: Chapter 52 The Beast Taming Clan's Training Plan...
Ouyang Heng wondered if there was something wrong with his ears...
From the Northern Territory?
The Northern Territory was the least developed place in the entire Dragon Country. How could such a place produce such a genius?
No... this can't even be called a genius anymore...
The power he displayed was almost inhuman, it was like a deity descending to the mortal realm...
As if sent by the heavens specifically to the Dragon Country to eradicate demon beasts...
But it sure is exciting to watch!
Thrilling!
A true man should be like this, fighting on the battlefield, slaying demon beasts!
But...
Even though this young man's beast taming combat power is off the charts, why are his attack methods so monotonous...
Normally, commander grade Beast Tamers have many skills, but each of Chu Ran's Beast Tamers only uses the same two skills over and over...
It's starting to feel a bit repetitive...
Before long, Chu Ran had cleared out most of the demon beasts in the Desolate Realm outside the Southern Territory and returned to the city wall.
Under everyone's astonished gazes, he calmly stated, "You might consider extending the Southern Territory's border outwards by several dozen miles."
These words immediately shocked everyone present.
They never expected Chu Ran's efficiency to be so high, his strength so immense that he seemed to be from a different dimension altogether...
And the expressions on the faces of those from the Ouyang Family also stiffened...
They had been guarding this place for so many years, and the most they ever dared to hope for was preventing the demon beasts from occupying the Safe Zone...
Being able to ensure the Safe Zone didn't turn into the Desolate Realm was already considered good. Who would dare to fantasize about turning the Desolate Realm into a Safe Zone...
Expanding outwards by several dozen miles...
If anyone had said that yesterday, they would have been criticized by a crowd for spouting delusions...
But now, coming from Chu Ran's mouth, no one dared to refute it...
Because he had actually done it...
After finishing his task, Chu Ran walked up to Old Family Head: "I trust this matter was handled satisfactorily? As for what you promised me..."
"It was handled exceptionally well!"
Old Family Head looked at the now-quiet Desolate Realm, grinning so wide his mouth couldn't close. Originally, he had only hoped to hold the line, but Chu Ran's efforts had directly resolved everything...
"Leave the matter of beast taming cultivation to me. I dare guarantee that in the entire Southern Territory... no, no, in the entire Dragon Country, no family understands it better than our Ouyang Family!"
Ouyang Heng and Ouyang Guang exchanged a glance, their hearts filled with shock.
Originally, they thought that for someone as young as Chu Ran to possess Beast Tamers of such high grades, he must be the scion of some hidden, prominent beast taming lineage from the Northern Territory, receiving focused training...
Judging from their conversation, it didn't seem to be what they had imagined...
Coming directly from the Northern Territory to the Southern Territory...
Was actually just for beast taming cultivation guidance...
Now, the fact that his Beast Tamers had relatively few skills in battle made sense...
So they relied purely on the Beast Tamers' own comprehension!
Huh?
Soon, the two of them spotted the blind spot in this situation...
If his Beast Tamers haven't received much cultivation... how did they reach such high grades?
The Monarch Grade Beast Tamers they cultivated were all gold grade ones with extremely high comprehension, fed who knows how many spiritual materials, just barely managing to advance...
And a significant number of Beast Tamers ultimately got stuck at the commander grade. In the matter of beast taming cultivation, the investment generally far outweighs the returns...
Only in extremely rare, lucky cases might a Monarch Grade appear...
Yet the other party obtained Monarch Saint Spirit Level Beast Tamers without any cultivation...
If they were to receive even a bit of cultivation...
It's too terrifying to even imagine...
...
Chu Ran followed Old Family Head to the Beast Taming Cultivation Base.
The Ouyang Family truly lived up to its reputation as a Beast Taming Noble Family...
The place was filled with gold grade Beast Tamers everywhere, with silver-grade ones being a rare sight...
During cultivation, Beast Tamers can continuously be supplemented with auxiliary resources to enhance their combat power. This includes, but is not limited to, learning skills corresponding to their attributes or elements, and providing spiritual resources to boost their corresponding attributes...
Chu Ran knew this, but the spiritual materials in the Northern Territory were all of low grade, at best suitable for commander grade Beast Tamers, offering little help to Monarch Grade ones... And before he even had a chance to explore the Central Territory, he encountered Old Family Head of the Beast Taming Noble Family and agreed to his conditions.
Only now did Chu Ran realize that a Beast Tamer couldn't just sit back and reap the rewards by having Beast Tamers kill monsters to level up. To raise a Beast Tamer to its peak, the Beast Tamer's own efforts were also indispensable...
Books like 'The Beast Tamer's Self-Cultivation System,' 'How to Become a Qualified Beast Tamer,' 'Beast Language Crash Course'...
What kind of strange books are these?
Chu Ran frowned deeply...
He hadn't expected there to be so many intricacies to being a Beast Tamer...
In the few days since he awakened as a Beast Tamer, he had just been focused on killing, killing, killing to boost combat power...
And the facts proved it was highly effective!
In just a few days, he directly acquired three max-level Beast Tamers...
"Watching your Beast Tamers fight earlier, I noticed they don't have many skills, their attack methods are quite limited. Although their combat power is invincibly strong, it's too monotonous. Have you never used skill books on them?"
"Skill books?"
Beast Tamers have to learn skills themselves? Don't they comprehend them naturally...
"What Beast Tamers comprehend on their own are exclusive skills, ones that other Beast Tamers cannot learn. However, there are universal skills that can be matched with the Beast Tamer's attributes. Some can even achieve a synergy where 1+1 is greater than 2..."
"That's why Beast Tamer equipment is generally the last consideration in cultivation... Skills and spiritual materials offer better value for money than equipment... And if the budget allows, you can even add some high-level elements that match the Beast Tamer's attributes..."
Old Family Head said calmly, "For example, your Monarch Grade Thunder Flood Dragon, its innate thunder attribute is already better than ordinary Soul Seed thunder elements. You could also add other Soul Seed thunder or Heaven Seed thunder to further increase its combat power..."
"Similarly... that other Blazing Dragon Sparrow could be paired with Soul Fire or heaven fire..."
"As for your newly advanced Saint Mosquito Queen, her state is unstable after just advancing. You can use some spiritual resources to replenish her spiritual energy..."
Chu Ran suddenly understood; there were so many intricacies involved in Beast Tamer cultivation...
"My Sacred Turtle has extremely high defense and a damage reflection skill, but lacks any active attack skills..." Chu Ran asked, puzzled, "What kind of skill would be good for it to learn?"
Old Family Head carefully recalled that "reserved" yet terrifying presence he had seen in the beast taming space.
"Since it has high defense and a damage reflection skill..."
He paced back and forth thoughtfully for a moment, then turned to Chu Ran and spoke seriously:
"You could try learning some skills that provoke enemies into attacking?"
"Such as?" Chu Ran asked.
Then he saw the other person pull out a skill book from somewhere...
"Invincible Provocation"
