Chapter 4: The Eye of Insight

Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio

When humans awakened their Transcendent power, which was the soul power, it would occasionally be accompanied by the awakening of some special abilities.

Of course, such a situation was not common.

Most people could only awaken their soul power.

Those who could awaken additional talent abilities were usually the lucky ones among the beastmasters.

To think Ji An, who hadn’t even awakened his soul power in his previous life, could have the good fortune to have awakened a talent apart from his soul power after his extreme misfortune.

As for the uses of his talent ability, it was as if Ji An had been born with it, and he knew all about it.

This was an ability that allowed him to see the strength and potential of Transcendent creatures.

Ever since the emergence of Transcendent creatures, the different races were gradually divided into different race grades by humans.

From low to high, they were the Extraordinary level, Sovereign level, Nirvana level…

Each race level was further divided into three classes: lower, intermediate, and advanced.

One of the greatest uses of his talent was the ability to see the evolution potential of the target Transcendent creature at a glance.

For example, the wind chime princess in front of him.

The wind chime princess was only of the lower Sovereign level.

Sovereigns referred to the absolute overlords that occupied a habitat. They were powerful beings that led their race and could command all the Transcendent creatures in their territories.

However, in Ji An’s eyes, the wind chime princess’s potential was far beyond the Sovereign level. It went as high as the advanced Nirvana level.

Nirvana-level races had completely broken away from the limits of the mortal world. By achieving a qualitative change of life through Nirvana, they were evolving toward the perfect life form.

This potential was undoubtedly beyond Ji An’s imagination.

Of course, the potential mentioned here was the potential of a familiar’s natural evolution without the help of external forces.

In other words, even if the wind chime princess had not been subdued by Peiling, it could rely on its natural evolution to become stronger and successfully evolve into an advanced Nirvana-level creature.

Such a potential was not considered weak.

Most Transcendent creatures could not even evolve one level higher if they relied on their natural evolution without the help of external forces.

Mastering the ability to see through a target’s potential would undoubtedly allow him to pick the most talented familiars.

Apart from being able to see through the racial potential of Transcendent creatures, his eyes also had other abilities.

It could also see the skill potential of the target Transcendent creature.

This usage of the talent was on par with its ability to allow him to observe the target’s racial potential.

The strength of a Transcendent creature was not only determined by the level of its race.

The strength of a creature also depended on the Transcendent abilities that the creature had. In other words, its skills.

If some creatures with a lower race level had mastered extremely powerful skills, their strength would not be inferior to Transcendent creatures of a higher race level.

The Insight ability that he had awakened could provide him with the most direct data on the potential of a Transcendent creature on a certain skill.

For example, the wind chime princess’s “Chiming Storm” skill had a stat of 150/370.

150 referred to the wind chime princess’s current mastery of the skill, while 370 was its final potential in mastering the skill.

Naturally, the potential here also referred to the creature’s natural growth potential without any external help.

In the new era, while extraordinary powers gave birth to all sorts of Transcendent creatures, they also gave birth to all sorts of treasures that contained Transcendent powers.

These treasures had endless uses. Some could improve the Transcendent creatures’ mastery of their skills, and some could even help the creatures complete their race evolution.

These external factors were naturally not included in the potential estimation by his ability.

From Ji An’s point of view, the few skills that the wind chime princess had mastered so far had high potential.

Beastmasters had a different way of classifying the mastery their familiars had achieved of a certain skill, compared to the classification of race level.

The classification was collectively known as the six realms of skill mastery.

From low to high, they were the Beginner realm, Entry realm, Proficient realm, Mastery realm, Great Sucess realm, and Peak of Perfection realm.

To be able to train a certain skill to the Mastery realm was already considered rare and valuable for a familiar.

Only less than half of the mature creatures of the same race could train their skills to the Mastery realm.

Comparing the data his Insight ability provided him and the six realms of skill mastery, every 100 points of mastery roughly corresponded to a skill realm.

As such, the corresponding mastery value for the Beginner realm should be 1 to 99, the Entry realm was 100 to 199, and so on.

The corresponding mastery value for the Mastery realm was only 300 to 399.

Looking at it this way, every skill that the wind chime princess had mastered could be upgraded to the Mastery realm without any help.

In particular, its Wind Embrace skill had already reached 351 points, which meant that it had already been upgraded to the Mastery realm.

As for the skills that the creature had yet to master, it represented another potential of the familiar.

The ability to see the skill potential of a target familiar at a glance was very useful in both choosing a familiar and training the familiar’s skills.

“Since you allow me to see the potential of a familiar, I’ll call you the Eye of Insight!” Ji An silently named the talent ability he had awakened.

Even though waves were crashing in his heart, his expression remained unperturbed.

In Peiling’s eyes, Ji An was just too excited to speak because he had just successfully awakened his soul power.

“Thank you, Lady Peiling,” Ji An, who had returned to his senses, once again bowed slightly to Peiling.

This time, the bow was sincere.

He knew very well that if the other party hadn’t allowed him to inject the drug here, the awakening potion and the authorization certificate for choosing a familiar that he had obtained would most likely fall into the hands of others.

Perhaps Liu Tong wouldn’t be so bold as to make a move himself and take his things, but it was not rare to use some tricks in the dark.

“There’s no need to thank me. It’s your willpower that’s amazing, allowing you to survive the awakening,” Peiling smiled and waved her hand, “What’s your name?”

This was the first time she had asked for Ji An’s name.

Perhaps before this, Ji An was just a dispensable ordinary person, but from the moment he awakened his soul power, he was a beastmaster in the making!

Thus, he was worthy for Peiling to ask for his name.

“My Lady, my name is Ji An. Ji as in the seasons, An as in peace,” Ji An was still very respectful.

Peiling nodded in satisfaction and asked, “You haven’t come into contact with familiars systematically, have you?”

“Not in this life,” Ji An silently thought to himself.

“Yes, my Lady,” He said.

“Since you’ve already awakened your soul power, you’re considered a beastmaster-to-be,” Peiling suggested, “If you have the time, you should go to the Beastmaster Association and register as a beastmaster apprentice. It might be of some use to you. ”

“Thank you for your suggestion, my Lady.”

Peiling didn’t have any intention of keeping Ji An any longer, so she waved her hand to indicate that he could leave.

Even though he had thanked her, Ji An had no intention of registering as a beastmaster apprentice.

He didn’t have any experience with familiars in this life, but that wasn’t the case in his previous life.

Even though he wasn’t fated to become a beastmaster in his previous life, Ji An had another identity!

He had been a beastmaster retinue!

A so-called beastmaster retinue was the follower recruited by some beastmasters.

Most retinues were ordinary people who were proficient in a certain skill, assisting the beastmasters in handling some trivial matters they weren’t good at.

Ji An had once followed a beastmaster.

His expertise lay in his rich experience in surviving in the wild.

As a wanderer who had traveled to more than ten gathering places after the destruction of Encircle Town, it was impossible for people like Ji An to not have rich experience.

Unfortunately, that beastmaster died young, and Ji An had only followed her for less than half a year.

Otherwise, he would have long since collected enough money to purchase the awakening potion. He wouldn’t have been forced to wander around for the latter half of his life, wasting his time and eventually dying a miserable death.

In the short half year that Ji An had followed that beastmaster, the other party didn’t hold back on her knowledge. Instead, she had been very willing to teach her retinue.

As a result, Ji An gained a lot of knowledge about familiars.

In fact, he was even very familiar with some of the techniques for using soul power, such as the hand seals necessary for a soul contract, which was a must for a beastmaster.

He believed that as long as he familiarized himself with the knowledge he had, it shouldn’t be difficult for him to use it to form a contract with familiars.
