126: Royal Majesty

"Sparks plus pollen? Wait, holy crap!"

Li Tao seemed to have thought of something and gasped sharply.

Without thinking, he recalled his Rock Barrier into his beast taming space and lunged outside the arena's protective barrier.

This wasn't a team battle; the moment he recalled his beast pet, he had effectively lost.

But he had no choice.

The sparks touched the dust cloud mixed with the powder.

"BOOM!"

A deafening roar erupted as violent orange flames instantly swallowed the entire foggy area.

A wild shockwave mixed with heat waves spread in all directions, causing ripples even on the protective barrier.

Many spectators stood up to cheer. Yesterday, this Ghost Orchid was able to defeat a fire-attribute Demonic Beast one Rank higher than itself.

Today, there was no need to mention this water-attribute one.

A Ghost Orchid that not only knew how to use Vine Whip as a drill but now actually knew how to use aerodynamics and chemical principles to create explosions?

Is this reasonable? This is unreasonable!

If it had put its energy into other skills, it would have definitely achieved much more than it has now.

What a waste, what a waste! Such a talented Ghost Orchid, yet it only focuses on studying skills like Vine Whip and Aromatic Pollen.

Outside the arena, his opponent Li Tao stared blankly at the huge charred crater on the field, feeling his legs go weak.

It was fortunate that he had jumped out in advance; otherwise, even with the referee's protection, he would have had a high probability of being seriously injured.

It used high-speed friction with the air to generate electricity, then utilized the pollen to cause a dust explosion.

Fusing one Elementary and one Intermediate skill turned out to be even more terrifying than a high-level skill.

That Beast Tamer named Bai Ye was just too imaginative.

It wasn't until the referee blew the final whistle that he snapped back to reality.

Today's matches were much more intensive than yesterday's; according to the official tournament announcement, it was to make way for the festival.

A Demonic Beast had to fight three matches a day.

Xiao Lan's subsequent opponents weren't very strong, only Intermediate Extraordinary Level, and were easily rendered devoid of the will to fight by its Aromatic Pollen.

They were knocked flying by its Vine Whip without any suspense.

On the other side, Bai Ye, wearing an earphone in one ear to listen to the live broadcast of Xiao Lan's match, took Phantom Snow and Xiao Hei to Song San's private beach.

After a day of self-healing, Song San's "simp" soul had ignited once again.

He still looked a bit decadent overall, but at least he no longer had that "life is meaningless" look.

Hopefully, after giving him the scales today, he could maintain a positive attitude.

"Brother, you're here."

Seeing Bai Ye, Song San forced a smile that looked worse than crying.

"Yeah."

Bai Ye nodded and got straight to the point: "Can we start today?"

"Of course."

Song San took a deep breath. "Let's go, to my studio."

He led Bai Ye to the basement of the beach villa.

Unlike Huang Shi's warehouse, Song San's studio looked more like a small marine museum.

Huge aquariums housed various rare marine Demonic Beasts.

The walls were hung with giant whale skeletons, and the shelves were filled with all kinds of beautiful corals and seashells.

"Excuse the mess."

Song San pointed to his surroundings.

"These are just little trinkets I collected over the years while looking for treasures to please her."

Bai Ye looked at those priceless collectibles, and the corners of his mouth twitched.

Good heavens, there wasn't a single item below the Transcendent Excellent level.

And he called these "little trinkets"?

Refiners were truly one richer than the other, and better at pretending to be poor than the other.

"Let's start."

Bai Ye picked Phantom Snow up from his shoulder.

"Alright."

Song San nodded, the decadence on his face swept away, replaced by the focus of a craftsman.

He had Phantom Snow stand in the center of a formation made of coral and pearls, which looked much better than the one Huang Shi had copied.

A soft blue light lit up from the formation, illuminating the entire basement like a deep blue ocean.

The air was filled with a faint scent of sea salt, and Bai Ye could even hear the faint sound of tides.

Song San's refining process was completely different from Huang Shi's sacrificial, wild style.

The entire process was very peaceful.

The soft blue light wrapped around Phantom Snow's small body like seawater.

Phantom Snow narrowed its eyes comfortably.

The energy felt like the warmest seawater, soaking into every inch of its skin.

The negative emotions of being reclusive and arrogant, which were innate deep in its Bloodline, were gently dissolved under the washing of this power.

Phantom Snow was still young, and its noble talent hadn't been developed yet.

As she grew, the effect of this negative talent would become stronger and stronger, and eventually, it might even form a state similar to Blood Sorrow.

Not to mention other races, even its own race might be faintly looked down upon by her.

Naturally, it was better to solve this kind of talent as early as possible.

About half an hour later, the light of the formation gradually dissipated.

Song San's face was a bit pale, but his mental state was still quite good.

"Done."

He wiped the sweat from his forehead, panting heavily, and said to Bai Ye.

"This little cat's negative talent was a bit more difficult than I imagined; it actually required two refines."

Bai Ye nodded and immediately recited silently in his heart: "illustrated compendium, scan!"

[Name]: Phantom Snow (Phantom Cat)

[attribute]: Normal

[Gender]: Female

[Aptitude]: King Elementary

[Rank]: Transcendent Elementary

[Skills]: Cry (No Rank), Phantom Pupil (Elementary) (Proficient), Shadow Clone (Intermediate) (Proficient), Mind Split (High) (beginner), Overclocked Body Movement (Intermediate) (Proficient), Destiny Bond (High) (beginner)

[Talent]: Telepathy (Blue), Kings Authority (Blue)

[Introduction]: The Phantom Cat that has cleansed its negative talent, its inherently strong Bloodline potential has been further stimulated, possessing the authority that a King should have.

Its Aptitude has been upgraded from Commander Mid-Rank to King Elementary.

Nobility has also successfully transformed into a brand-new blue talent.

Now, Phantom Snow truly has the capital to compete with Xiao Hei on the same stage.

Although she had never thought that Xiao Hei's potential was much stronger than her own before.

[Talent: Kings Authority (Blue)]

[Effect: Can emit the authority of a King, producing a certain mental suppression effect on enemies with a lower Rank or Aptitude than itself, weakening all their attributes by 10%.]

[At the same time, it can boost the morale of its own companions, slightly enhancing their will to fight.]

"Not bad, a very practical aura-type talent."

Bai Ye was suddenly very curious: if he could max out this talent, could he defeat the enemy without fighting?

However, who knows how long it would take to max out a blue talent.

Like the Telepathy Talent he obtained from Phantom Snow, it was still blue, but one or two more absorptions would be enough to advance it to purple.

A purple-tier Telepathy Talent would allow him to have a certain degree of conversation with Demonic Beasts.

Decided, let's upgrade the Telepathy Talent to purple today.
