Beast Taming: the More the Better Chapter 912 - 385: The Legend’s Mystery! False Rumors about Dragon City! (Part 2)
Previously on Beast Taming: the More the Better...
In the blink of an eye, Su Ping found himself transported to a realm suspended amidst peculiar, multi-hued clouds.
The legendary Holy Dragon remained seated placidly beside him, observing him intently.
Instinctively, Su Ping inquired, "You are..."
"Speaking externally proves overly burdensome; the Rules are quite difficult to navigate, you understand, hehe."
The man offered a slight smile, uttering words that Su Ping couldn't fully grasp.
"Rules... what do you mean by that?"
Su Ping's surprise was evident in his question.
The legendary Holy Dragon then proceeded to explain with patience:
"It's a power that surpasses mere energy... Generally, one must attain the Legendary Level before they can begin to wield this kind of might! A Beastmaster's intrinsic power, beyond their Soul Contract, originates from the talent manifested at the moment of Awakening.
Typically, this talent undergoes improvement and transformation once one enters the Legendary Level! Naturally, talent can be boosted preemptively through exceedingly rare resources, such as Soul Fruit, and by developing a corresponding Meditation Method.
However, to ensure the effects of talent enhancement are more pronounced, these particular Meditation Methods are usually exceptionally rare and valuable.
Furthermore, it can be amplified through self-discipline; concurrently, the enhancement of Beastmaster talents, specifically the number of traits within the Beastmaster Space, can significantly accelerate the Realm advancement speed of the Beastmaster.
These elements are mutually reinforcing! My own initial talent was the most commonplace, Telepathic Communication, and upon reaching the Legendary Tenth Rank, the power of the Rules evolved upon my talent, leading to certain negative side effects where my spoken words could manifest reality.
These revelations left Su Ping in a state of stunned disbelief.
Beastmaster talents?
In Su Ping's estimation, aside from the Eye of Truth, Telepathic Communication, and his own unique talent, the Home of Myriad Spirits, the other Beastmaster talents—even seemingly superior ones like Dragon Might—struck him as quite valueless.
Telepathic Communication could evolve into the power of Words Become Law?
And that too, with debilitating negative consequences.
Su Ping truly couldn't fathom that this individual was also inclined towards ostentatious displays!
However, did possessing such a myriad of talents present any actual issues?
For the first time, Su Ping began to question the true impact of the Myriad Spirit Beast Atlas upon him.
Consequently, after a moment of contemplation, Su Ping posed his question:
"Then, are there any Beastmasters who possess two or even three talents?"
The man before him offered a smile and a piercing glance that sent shivers down Su Ping's spine, before he nodded and replied:
"Indeed, there are! Beastmaster talents are quite unique.
Most often, human Beastmasters complete their Awakening using an Awakening Stone, and after acquiring their initial talents, they elevate their Realm through meditation!
Yet, there exist certain individuals with innately potent spiritual power, capable of awakening before the age of eighteen without an Awakening Stone, and even contracting beasts.
It follows that some individuals will naturally awaken a second talent, or even acquire a subsequent talent later in life!
For instance, one of the commendations awarded to top performers in this career assessment is a unique resource known as a 'Spirit Seed,' which can facilitate the awakening of a second talent."
Hmm?
Su Ping was taken aback; could such a reward be a part of this career assessment?
Still, it logically followed, given this person's capacity to decree such matters with a mere word.
A Spirit Seed?
"In that case, does possessing additional talents confer an advantage or a disadvantage upon a Beastmaster?"
"Naturally, it is advantageous; otherwise, the Spirit Seed would not hold such immense value! With a second talent, a Beastmaster's meditation progress becomes considerably accelerated.
However, alongside the benefits come certain constraints. For example, the enhancement of talents is not solely dependent on Realm and resources but also on the Beastmaster's aptitude for comprehension.
Moreover, if proficiency in utilizing talented abilities remains insufficient, significant limitations arise when attempting to break through specific Realm barriers.
This limitation is not particularly pronounced before reaching the Monarch Level, but post-Monarch Level, it becomes acutely apparent, and the talent's influence on boosting Beastmaster meditation intensifies!
Consequently, during this phase, Meditation Methods that assist Beastmasters in controlling their talents become exceedingly precious! They are also difficult for average Beastmasters to obtain, thereby constituting a primary reason why many struggle to advance beyond the Monarch Level."
Is that so?
Su Ping nodded in understanding, yet a sense of bewilderment lingered.
So, what about his own current talents?
It was no wonder he had scarcely utilized numerous psychic-elemental resources for economic advancement, having solely focused on meditation, and in merely one year, ascended from Awakening to Commandant Ninth Rank!
Could these terrifyingly numerous talents, which he hadn't truly paid much heed to previously, be the underlying cause?
Nevertheless, the enhancement of talent...
For others, this presented a considerable challenge, requiring either rare resources like Soul Fruit or specific Meditation Methods. But for him, the situation was different!
The Myriad Spirit Beast Atlas offered the capability to elevate a talent's level the very first time by illuminating a catalog entry of the same type.
The newly awakened Spirit Vision Eye and Psychic Communication abilities, I see!
A realization dawned on Su Ping, causing his eyes to gleam with excitement.
Observing Su Ping’s contemplative look, the Legend of the Holy Dragon offered a subtle smile, unconcerned. He harbored suspicions that Su Ping possessed hidden secrets, perhaps even a rare dual talent that set him apart from other Beastmasters. Yet, at his current stature, such matters were of little consequence. His sole focus was the assurance that, under Elder Zhu's watchful eye, Su Ping's path was free from the Celestial Tomb Mark's oppression. Furthermore, the current evidence suggested the young man's spirit remained largely untainted, and that was sufficient.
"Your Heart of Dreams is quite fascinating and holds immense promise."
