Unorthodox beast control

Chapter 294 Xingchen’s first four-star skill!

For a fragile output character, in addition to explosive output, another very important factor is naturally the speed that makes it difficult for opponents to catch.

Ziyun knew very well that he was not good at defense and could not be as invulnerable as Cancan, so he needed to find another way to do better in the field of speed.

The fourth four-star skill, it chooses to improve the electric mark left behind.

This skill, which has been improved all the way from the initial arc, has accompanied Ziyun's entire growth path of becoming stronger.

Now, it's time to take it to the highest star rating it can currently achieve.

Among the conditions for Ziyun's evolution, it is required that at least four four-star skills be from both the thunder and fighting systems. Now with the successful fusion of Divine Punishment and Jingxiao Thunder Fury, this goal has been halfway accomplished.

One of the remaining two four-star dual-system skills has been confirmed, and that is the Thunder Claw of Destruction, which was originally a dual-system skill.

As for the last dual-system skill, Ziyun plans to choose between King's Power and Thunder-shaking Tianyin. The Lightning Trace will still retain its original characteristics and be upgraded to four stars as a pure thunder skill.

Ziyun has already assembled the three skills that are integrated with the Traces of Electricity through the absorption of King Class resources and the improvement of three-star skill scrolls in the past.

All that is needed is a sufficient number of skill fusion stones.

"Meow!" (Let's start!)

With eyes full of expectation, Ziyun looked at Xu Ran and urged him.

"Okay." Xu Ran nodded slightly, then clicked on the skill fusion interface again, selecting Traces of Electric Power and the other three skills that Ziyun had prepared.

Fusion...begins!

After the purple-gray light that meant the fusion failed again and again, the dazzling color was extremely clear. After 42 failures, the skill of leaving traces of electricity slowly dissipated from Ziyun's panel.

Instead, there is a brand new four-star skill.

【★★★Electric tread marks (solar level)】(1982/50000)【+】

↓

【★★★★Path of Destruction (Halo Level)】(1982/50000)【+】

"Meow~~~"

Ziyun's whole body trembled uncontrollably. The instinctive joy of life transformation brought about by the upgrade of Jingxiao Thunder Fury to four stars had not yet completely faded away. Another brand new four-star skill brought waves of excitement. Great pleasure.

Its eyes narrowed slightly, and it made a weird sound uncontrollably in its throat. It took a while this time before it gradually calmed down.

Sensing the gazes of Xu Ran and the other two little ones, a trace of embarrassment instantly rose from Ziyun's heart.

"Meow... meow!" (This is an instinctive reaction!)

Ziyun couldn't help but argue, and then looked at Cancan.

Cancan has also experienced the situation of upgrading his skills to four stars, so he should be able to understand it, right?

"Cha~" (I understand.)

Cancan moved his head in deep understanding.

The strange feeling of being upgraded from three stars to four stars has never been forgotten until now.

That's probably the joy of getting stronger.

Seeing Ziyun's performance and Cancan's expression, Xingchen couldn't help but snort, feeling a little more anxious in anticipation.

After Ziyun's second skill fusion is completed, the next step is its skill fusion.

Unlike the other two little ones, this is the first time Xingchen has experienced such a situation.

Although the talent skill has been upgraded from two stars to three stars before, the upgrade from three stars to four stars is obviously different.

So, what kind of feeling is that? I’m so anxious...

"How is the effect of your new skill?" Xu Ran looked at the interaction between the three little ones and asked with a smile.

"Meow..." (New skill...)

With Xu Ran's reminder, Ziyun's thoughts quickly got back on track.

After feeling the countless skill usage scenes and memories that suddenly appeared in his mind, the light in its different-colored eyes suddenly became dazzling.

This skill…

In fact, my wife is very suitable for its situation!

As a result, after understanding the entire skill clearly, Ziyun couldn't help but tell Xu Ran and the other two little ones the details of this skill immediately.

As they originally expected, the new skill after the fusion is a pure thunder skill, and compared with the original electric traces, it can be said to be a qualitative change.

The original electric shock left traces, which allowed Ziyun to have extremely fast speed, and at the same time, he could also leave thunder shadows formed by the convergence of thunder power on the path of action.

These thunder shadows can remain for a period of time. If they are touched by an enemy, they will explode automatically, causing small-scale thunder explosion damage.

While the Raikage remains, Ziyun can return to any Raikage's location at any time.

Although this skill can also cause damage, it still focuses on speed.

The Path of Destruction can be said to be a skill that emphasizes both speed and damage.

It retains Ziyun's speed under the traces left by the electric shock, and greatly improves it, erasing the effects of the original thunder shadow and the returning thunder shadow.

Instead, there is a completely new effect.

Thunder path.

After Ziyun casts the Path of Destruction, the trajectory of his actions will be solidified into a thunder path. All enemies who touch the thunder path will suffer lightning damage and a strong paralysis effect.

The purple cloud itself is integrated with the thunder path, and it can appear in any position on the thunder path without any restrictions.

It covers all the skill effects of the original electric shock leaving traces. In addition, it also adds a key link that Ziyun lacked before.

control!

As long as you pay attention to your own movement trajectory and become more proficient in new skills, Ziyun can easily use the Path of Destruction to form a thunder and lightning cage that is sealed layer by layer, making the opponent trapped in it and unable to escape.

Once the opponent accidentally touches the lightning path and is severely injured and paralyzed, Ziyun can appear in front of it immediately, and there is no need to say more about the outcome.

After understanding the effect of Ziyun's fourth four-star skill, Xu Ran and the other two little ones all widened their eyes.

I always feel…

Ziyun's four new skills are all frighteningly powerful.

Four-star skills are so terrifying!

"Cha~" (Fortunately, I have a place to die...)

Cancan showed a happy expression.

Although Ziyun's four skills are all very strong, its Land of Annihilation is not inferior to Ziyun's skills in terms of intensity, and it is also a super-large-scale killing skill that Ziyun does not have.

So, no big problem!

"Xi Lv~" (Is it my turn?)

Xingchen couldn't help but neigh and urged.

Seeing that Ziyun's two new skills are as powerful as the two previous four-star skills, Ziyun's eyes are filled with excitement as he doesn't have a single four-star skill.

It also wants four-star skills!

"Next it's Xingchen's turn." Xu Ran smiled and touched Ziyun's head.

Ziyun's two skills were so powerful, and his mood became even better.

"Is the first skill that Xingchen wants to fuse with, the heart of eternal night?" Xu Ran asked with a smile.

He was impressed by this.

Starting very early, Xingchen was preparing for the skill fusion of Heart of Eternal Night, and the selection of the other three skills was completed early.

"Xilu~" (Yes!)

Xingchen nodded heavily.

Heart of Eternal Night was originally its only one-star skill, toughness.

But after a long period of hard work to cultivate and improve, this skill has become Xingchen's most important skill.

It can make the stars have endless power like a perpetual motion machine, it can also quickly heal all injuries suffered by the stars, and it can also comprehensively increase the dark skills.

It is reasonable for such a generalist to be the first to upgrade his skill to four stars.

"Then let's get started." Xu Ran nodded slightly, and then clicked on the skill fusion page again.

【★★★Heart of Eternal Night】+【★★★Power of Fallen Stars】+【★★★Quiet Night Breath】+【★★★Night Burning】

[Fusion success rate: 0.0191%]

【Do you want to integrate? 】

【whether】

Looking at the familiar prompt popping up on the panel, Xu Ran couldn't help but take a deep breath.

This is the first time Xingchen has integrated four-star skills. More importantly, with the addition of the skill "Starfall Power", this will be Xingchen's first four-star skill that meets additional evolution conditions.

Then let’s see what new changes it will take.

With a low shout in his heart, Xu Ran pressed [Yes] without hesitation.

Once...twice...five times...ten times...

Skill fusion stones disappeared one after another in the system's locker, and skill fusion failed again and again.

In the end, Xu Ran's hand that was moving quickly stopped in mid-air.

In front of him, the dazzling colored light reflected four words.

【Successful integration】

Almost at the same time, the original skills on the star panel disappeared, and the new skills that replaced them came into view.

【★★★Heart of Eternal Night (Sun Halo Level)】(3213/50000)【+】

↓

【★★★★Starry Night Prayer (Sun Halo Level)】(3213/50000)【+】

This skill…

A look of surprise appeared in Xu Ran's eyes.

Judging from the name alone, it can be said to have nothing to do with the original Heart of Eternal Night.

But it can appear as a high-level skill of the Heart of Eternal Night, and its effect is destined not to be seen just from the skill name.

So...it's up to the stars to reveal the answer.

Looking at the stars, a helpless smile quickly appeared on Xu Ran's face.

Let’s wait a little longer.

Let Xingchen fully experience the joy of rising skills to stars.

Cool! So cool!

Feeling the strange pleasure that seemed to be transmitted from every tiny corner of the body and the great sense of accomplishment that was like a leap in the level of life, Xingchen couldn't help but want to look up to the sky and let out a loud roar to vent the emotions in his heart at this moment.

And it really did so.

"Xilu~"

With an excited neigh, Xingchen raised his two front hooves high, and his strong body flashed smoothly and stunningly under the light.

As his front hooves stomped heavily on the ground, powerful strength soared into the sky from around him.

At this moment, Xingchen, who had the first four-star skill, was very arrogant.

"Meow~" (Now you understand how we feel.)

Seeing Xingchen's excited look, Ziyun lay lazily on the bed, his strange-colored eyes narrowed, with an expression of "I knew this would happen."

"Xilu~" (This feeling is so amazing!)

Xingchen nodded heavily, then came back to his senses, and began to sense the memories and countless images of new skills that suddenly appeared in his mind.

Then it got more exciting.

Before integrating this skill, it thought about countless possible outcomes.

And the current new skill is much better than the best fusion result predicted by it.

Shaking his head violently, Xingchen couldn't wait to share his happiness with his friends.

Starry Night Prayer, like the previous Heart of Eternal Night, is a blessing skill.

However, compared with the previous Heart of Eternal Night, this skill not only involves more buffs, but also has almost twice the effect of the buffs.

For ease of understanding, it can be split into two skills, one is Night Prayer and the other is Star Prayer.

Night Prayer inherits all the effects of Heart of Eternal Night: recovery, self-healing, and blessing of dark skills, and greatly improves the effects on the original basis.

Star Prayer has new skill effects: strengthening, protection, and blessing star power skills.

Strengthening is an ability inherited from Ye Ran among the four fused skills. It can greatly improve the strength of Xingchen in a short period of time. It can be superimposed with the gain of skill effects, producing an effect of one plus one greater than two. .

Protection is a brand-new effect that is not available in the four fusion skills. It can condense the power of starlight and turn it into an indestructible guard that surrounds the stars. This defensive power cannot be shared with partners like the Night Crest, but it can be shared with Xu Ran through the Fate Star.

More importantly, its protective power is much higher than that of the Duye Crest. Even if it faces a powerful opponent whose growth level is one level higher than its own, it can give Xingchen more room for maneuver.

As for the final blessing star power skill, it is similar to Night Prayer, except that the object of blessing has changed.

When the skills blessed by Starry Night Prayer are both dark skills and are related to the power of stars, the buff effects of Night Prayer and Star Prayer will work at the same time, and the resulting buffs will be directly multiplied.

For example, if both gains are 3, then the final gain effect is not 6, but 9!

"This Starry Night Prayer..." After hearing Xingchen's introduction, a strange look appeared on Xu Ran's face.

There is no doubt that Xingchen's first four-star skill is not inferior to Ziyun and Cancan's skill strength, and it is fully worthy of the power of the four-star skill.

but…

He always felt that the emergence of this skill had dug a big hole for Xingchen.

According to the additional requirements of the star evolution conditions, the star needs at least three four-star skills to be related to the power of the star.

Among Xingchen's seven talent skills, it is not particularly difficult to choose three skills to do this, so this additional requirement is not difficult to meet.

However, the first skill that is now fused actually has the effect of multiplying the gain of the Dark Star Power skill...

Doesn't this mean...

"叏LU~" (I want to change the plan for merging skills next and fuse all skills into skills related to the power of the star!)

Xingchen's firm words made Xu Ran couldn't help but sigh.

Sure enough.

After this skill appears, if the subsequent four-star skill is only a single dark skill, then only Starry Night Prayer will receive part of the gain, which is a huge disadvantage.

With Xingchen's character, it is absolutely impossible for him to make such a choice.

Therefore, it will definitely increase the difficulty for itself and connect all skills with the power of the stars to ensure that all skills can get the maximum increase from Starry Night Prayer.

"The Prayer of the Starry Night plus the Destiny Star-holding and Star-repelling Ring after the Ascension Star are the three skills we can think of currently that are connected with the power of the stars." Xu Ran looked at the stars and spoke softly, "They can just meet the needs of evolution. Additional requirements.”

"If you want to connect the other four skills with the power of the star, it won't be that easy." Xu Ran paused slightly, "Are you sure you want this?"

Xingchen thought for a moment, then nodded firmly again.

"Xilu~" (I'm sure!)

Even though Xingchen had no clue how the other four skills were connected to the power of the star, he still wanted to try it.

In addition to his natural character of not liking to suffer losses, there is another key factor that Xingchen did not mention.

That is, it vaguely feels that this is what it should do.

Whether it is the ability after awakening or the subsequent evolution, Xingchen has a feeling that the focus of his ability seems to be constantly changing from the dark system to a new kind of power.

That was not any of the ten attributes, but the power of the star.

It seems that the dark system is just a springboard for it.

This idea is very strange, but it often appears in Xingchen's mind, and it reached its peak with the emergence of evolutionary conditions of the emperor's race evolution route.

In this case, if you have more skills that are compatible with the power of the star, can your evolution success rate be higher?

Although I haven't tried it yet, there seems to be a voice in Xingchen's heart that keeps telling it that this is feasible.

"Okay, now that you have made your decision, I will fully cooperate with you." Xu Ran touched Xingchen's head and spoke softly.

Xingchen's skill fusion almost exhausted all the skill fusion stones.

The remaining few are no longer enough to complete the fusion of another four-star skill, and can only be left for the next resource allocation.

Immediately afterwards, the three small ones began to allocate the remaining resources according to their remaining value points.

After some humility and friendliness, the distribution of all resources came to an end.

The overflowing physical points allowed the three little ones who were already very close to reaching the General level to reach the General level. The extra physical points also allowed the three little ones that had all the skills of the Sun level to move towards the Lieyang level skills. Proficiency progresses steadily.

After writing down the balance of the three little ones on the small blackboard, Xu Ran casually put the two "artifacts" back into the corner, "Have a good rest tonight, and tomorrow we will go watch the Battle of Ten Thousand Clans."

"Although the battle of all races that will be held tomorrow is not at the level of our leadership, but at the level of the elite, it is better to familiarize yourself with the venue and procedures in advance."

After saying that, Xu Ran quickly crossed his legs and closed his eyes, entering a state of deep meditation on the bed.

The last advanced meditation accelerator card ended today, and Xu Ran was worried that his subsequent meditation speed would be greatly reduced.

I didn't expect that this new advanced meditation accelerator card would come in such a timely manner.

Coupled with the renewal of the meditation accelerator card, his rapid meditation can continue for a long time.

This also made Xu Ran feel more and more hard-won that meditation acceleration was hard-won, and even his cultivation became a little harder.

Looking at Xu Ran who instantly fell into meditation, the three little ones looked at each other.

have a good rest?

nonexistent!
-

The next day, morning.

As usual, Xu Ran safely handed over the affairs of the store to the three clerks. Xu Ran took the three little ones to the gate of Yaomu City early and prepared to leave the city.

At this time in the past, there would be an endless stream of figures coming in and out of Yaomu City, including beast masters and wild extraordinary creatures.

However, today, it seems a little different.

There were more figures at the city gate, but almost no one entered the city.

Everyone lined up in a long queue in an orderly manner, chatting and laughing and leaving the city together.

Looking from inside the city gate to outside the city, you can still see the long dragon they formed.

Because the destination was exactly the same, these people did not disperse even if they left the city.

And where their destination is is self-evident.

Like Xu Ran, they all planned to watch the annual battle of all races.

After Motian Xuanmu stopped giving birth to Xuanmu Lu, such a grand event hosted by Motian Xuanmu himself had a special meaning.

Everyone wants to know what is happening to Motian Xuanmu now.

Therefore, the number of people watching the Battle of Ten Thousand Races this year is much higher than in previous years.

Seeing such a situation, Xu Ran, who was originally planning to leave the city directly, had no choice but to follow the large army obediently.

Moreover, I also met an acquaintance.

"Boss Xu, you are here too!"

The young man standing in front of Xu Ran noticed the movement behind him, subconsciously turned his head and glanced, and then a look of surprise appeared on his face.

"Hello." Xu Ran nodded friendly towards the other party.

After briefly searching his memory, he remembered the identity of the other party.

This was a customer named Zhang Zhu who brought his pet beast to the store for care not long after Yaomu City opened.

If Xu Ran remembered correctly, one of the opponent's pet beasts was the Flame Dragon Beast and the other was the Thunder Monkey. Both were top leadership races, and both had reached the level of elite perfection.

At the level of elite beast master, Zhang Zhu is considered powerful even in a second-level town.

And today's battle of all races happens to be a competition at the elite level.

and so…

"Are you participating in the war of all races?" Xu Ran asked curiously.

"That's right!" Zhang Zhu seemed quite happy when Xu Ran revealed his purpose. After all, it meant that Xu Ran still remembered his situation. "This is my first time to participate in the war of all races. To be honest with you, , I’m still a little nervous.”

"Yesterday, I went to your store to wash and care for the two pets again, so that they can participate in the competition in the best condition, hoping to achieve good results."

"Yes." Xu Ran smiled and patted Zhang Zhu's shoulder, while secretly cursing in his heart that he had no idea that the other party came to the store yesterday.

Fortunately, I didn't tell him the last time the other person came, otherwise it would have been embarrassing.

"Speaking of which, Boss Xu, you have been very free recently." As if to relieve the tension in his heart, Zhang Zhu quickly changed the subject, "I haven't seen you at the Xinghuo Nursing Home these days, and today you actually came to watch the Battle of Ten Thousand Clans. .”

"You also said that today is the battle of all races." Xu Ran pointed in the direction of Yaomu City behind him with a smile, "If nothing unexpected happens, most of the people in Yaomu City are not in the city today, right?"

"At this time, the business in the store will definitely not be good."

"That's true..." Zhang Zhu nodded suddenly, a little embarrassed in his heart, feeling that he had wrongly blamed Boss Xu.

"And..." Xu Ran paused slightly, and the smile in his eyes became a little thicker, "I'm not here to be an audience at the Battle of Ten Thousand Races."

"I also participated in the war of all races."

"Eh?!" Zhang Zhu's eyes widened with a look of astonishment on his face.

In his impression, Boss Xu is the owner of a foster care shop. How can such a character be compared to a powerful beast master who participated in the war of all races?

"Um...Boss Xu, are you participating in today's competition?" Zhang Zhu couldn't help but asked out of curiosity, and then he shook his head, "No, no, Boss Xu, you have three pet beasts, they should be commander-level Beastmaster, right?"

"Then Boss Xu, you have to work hard, I will go to your game tomorrow!"

After hearing Zhang Zhu's inquiry, Xu Ran looked at the three little ones following him, and couldn't help but have a helpless smile on his face.

It seems that the three little ones are still too low-key on weekdays.

Because the three little ones always keep their bodies in a shrinking state, their strength is not easily noticed. In addition, in order not to scare the weak pets who come to the store to be fostered and cared for, they also deliberately control their auras.

So after so long, only a few beast masters who were at the same level as Xu Ran or higher were aware of the true strength of his three pet beasts. Those beast masters who were weaker did not notice anything strange at all.

This is what Zhang Zhu looks like in front of him.

He could only rely on the number of pet beasts to determine Xu Ran's true beast master level.

Xu Ran happened to have one of the contract slots vacant.

"The competition I am participating in is not for tomorrow." Xu Ran shook his head slightly.

"Not tomorrow?" Zhang Zhu couldn't help but glance at the three little ones behind Xu Ran.

Boss Xu's three pet beasts, he seems to be unable to clearly perceive the strength.

But judging from their size, they don't seem to be powerful.

Since it is not the leadership level, then...

Could it be the elite level!

Yes, Boss Xu said just now that he is here to participate in the competition.

Appearing in the team on the same day as myself, it is really possible that it will be an elite level competition.

As for the issue of the number of pet beasts, it is also easy to explain.

Many beast masters have the habit of preparing pet beasts for the next contract slot in advance. Boss Xu runs a foster care shop, and there is definitely no shortage of pet beast resources. It is possible to cultivate one in advance and it may not be contracted yet.

and so…

At this moment, Zhang Zhu thought about whether he should show some mercy to Xu Ran if he met Xu Ran in the battle of all races.

after all…

How strong can a foster care shop owner be?

"Boss Xu, don't worry." Zhang Zhu thought to himself, and couldn't help but reach out and pat Xu Ran on the shoulder, "If we encounter today's game, I will finish it."

"Ah?" Xu Ran looked at Zhang Zhu with a friendly face, and countless questions popped up in his head, "My competition is the day after tomorrow!"

Zhang Zhu: “…”

It turns out it’s the day after tomorrow…

and many more…

the day after tomorrow? !
