Beast Taming: the More the Better Chapter 805 - 349: Rainbow Lucid Butterfly! Four Seas Dragon Palace! (Part 2)
Previously on Beast Taming: the More the Better...
That final trace of Dragon Energy is even more impressive.
This particular Dragon Energy holds a striking resemblance to the innate Dragon Might possessed by Su Ping.
It is, however, better suited for the Pet Beast itself. At this stage, while it only exhibits a faint dragon-like aura, the potential for its future growth is immense, likely serving as the foundation for further evolutionary development.
Among the four skills, the one that truly piques Su Ping’s curiosity is actually a carry-over from its previous form:
Rainbow Nest, Nest Building!
This skill was present when the Rainbow Coral Worm was still nothing more than a common coral insect.
In truth, the secretion of Rainbow Coral has always been the fundamental origin of this ability.
It serves as the precious source of what makes the Rainbow Coral Worm such a unique pet beast.
A humble, seemingly powerless creature, yet capable of secreting resources of the highest Monarch Level—that is where the inherent value of the Rainbow Coral Worm resides.
Yet, following the evolution, this ability has not only endured but seems to have undergone a profound transformation:
[Rainbow Nest (Proficient): A special skill that secretes unique resources known as 'Rainbow Glaze' and 'Rainbow Coral'. By growing itself or consuming nutritional resources, the beast automatically constructs its own nest.]
(Rainbow Glaze: An exclusive secretion of the Rainbow Lucid Butterfly, the evolutionary result of the Rainbow Coral Worm’s Dragon Transformation. A unique dual-attribute resource of Light and Water, it possesses extraordinary beauty. As the refined essence of Rainbow Coral, its grade is variable, determined by the level of both the Rainbow Lucid Butterfly and the materials it consumes.
Rainbow Glaze can influence all water and light-based pet beasts. By releasing a soft, rainbow-colored illumination, it nourishes aquatic pet beasts while potentially accelerating both their intelligence and the growth rate of water-based resources. It is incredibly rare and precious.)
Indeed.
This skill shifted once the evolution was complete.
The metamorphosis of the Rainbow Coral Worm caused the formerly produced Rainbow Coral to evolve into this so-called Rainbow Glaze!
The most crucial aspect lies in the potency of this resource.
Beyond the original ability to nourish water-based creatures, it now possesses the secondary power to enhance aquatic pet beast intelligence and expedite resource maturation!
While the latter is a bonus, Su Ping had never encountered such a phenomenon regarding the former effect.
Su Ping understood well that for common aquatic pet beasts, intelligence is often lacking compared to other categories.
Traditionally, intelligence is a static trait, solely dependent on increasing power and racial ranking.
But now, the circumstances have changed.
The value of intelligence is self-evident; no Beast Tamer would ever decline an upgrade to their pet’s mental capacity.
One can clearly see how astronomical the value of Rainbow Glaze truly is!
The only remaining questions are the specific potency of the Rainbow Glaze and the quantity of this essence that the Rainbow Lucid Butterfly is capable of producing.
Before Su Ping could conduct any practical tests,
the Rainbow Lucid Butterfly fluttered its wings gently, and the Myriad Spirit Beast Atlas slowly manifested within Su Ping’s consciousness.
As expected, a previously dormant special catalog shimmered to life at that very moment.
Rainbow-hued auras danced across the monochrome pages of the atlas.
It could be none other than the Rainbow Coral Worm.
Su Ping was eager to observe the catalog entry for the original creature.
However, the feedback provided by the Myriad Spirit Beast Atlas took him by surprise.
[Special catalog 'Rainbow Coral Worm' illuminated, reward acquired: Talent 'Underwater Breathing' effect enhanced (1/10)!]
[The 'Rainbow Coral Worm' entry is a specialized linked catalog. Its level cannot be raised through conventional means. It belongs to the Divine Dragon Codex’s Sub-dragon Species index and will increase in tandem with the Divine Dragon Codex, or via other unknown methods.]
The initial reward came as no shock to Su Ping.
When the Sea Core Spirit Turtle catalog was illuminated, it granted 'Underwater Breathing', so it was only natural for an aquatic pet beast to further enhance such a talent.
But the nature of the Rainbow Coral Worm’s catalog entry itself was a surprise.
A catalog linked to the Divine Dragon Codex? A Sub-Dragon Species?
It makes perfect sense why no Beast Tamer had been able to cultivate it over the years; unless connected to a draconic evolution, no alternative paths existed.
Its status as a Sub-Dragon Species serves as sufficient proof.
Furthermore, it is an undeniable fact that Sub-Dragons retain the potential to evolve into True Dragons.
It all aligns perfectly.
Without this system, it would be virtually impossible for Su Ping to raise the catalog level of the Rainbow Coral Worm.
The creature is simply too precious, rare, and elusive.
It is rarer than dragons, even more so than many pet beasts possessing Holy Spirit Level Species Potential.
Any thought of leveling up via sheer quantity is entirely impractical.
Now, simply by advancing the Divine Dragon Codex, the catalog level can naturally rise, which is both reasonable and efficient.
Contemplating this, Su Ping offered a warm smile to the Rainbow Lucid Butterfly in his palms, which now radiated an even greater sense of intimacy.
Finally, the Ray Saint beside him recovered his composure. Watching the fantastical, Light and Water-type Lucid Butterfly, he refrained from asking questions.
His 'Water and Sky as One' Meditation Method allowed him to sense, to some degree, the state of this evolved aquatic beast.
With its blend of water, light, and dragon energy, this butterfly formed a state of perfect harmony.
It was a stark contrast to the chaotic, experimental dragon-transformation evolutionary bodies he had encountered in the past.
