Whether it’s a Beast Tamer or a Gardener, or even a Healer, those in the Life system are naturally powerful explosive professions.
However, Gardeners tend to favor positional warfare and defensive battles, while the Beast Kings prefer active attacks....
"...No discovery in the south, only some beasts on the way, but the wolf packs have been fed."
"Several Grey Edge men were found in the north, and the little wolves seemed quite happy to eat them, but their BOSS wasn’t found, seems well hidden."
"I’ve got no gains either, but two wolves seem to have evolved. Beast Tamer, come and take a look...."
Beasts or battle-pets who are constantly demonized by the blood of Beast Tamers are rapidly growing demons.
They can grow by hunting the flesh of their opponents in battle, and often experience accidental mutations and evolutions.
The evolution ability of a Beast Tamer’s_MAGIC_PET is the main axis of this profession.
Now, the two Diamond Wolves probably ate too many Grey Edge Tribesmen, their bodies displaying strange grey skin, and their breath had a faint stench... Beast Tamer needs to identify this mutation and decide whether to preserve it, propagate it on a large scale, or kill it directly as a negative mutation.
The process of breeding wolf packs is a constant selection of high-quality mutations and elimination of negative mutations. Give the Beast Tamer and the wolf pack some time, and the wolf packs that have gone through several generations or even tens of generations will no longer be the same species as the original version.
".....Teacher, how is it?" Hua Xueyi doesn’t have the eyesight to identify, but now, as long as Lu Ping’an is following her, she is in a sense carrying a teacher with her.
"It’s a mediocre mutation, at best it has an additional Poisonous Blood effect, but the basic constitution seems to have a significant decline, and it may even pollute the population... Let it die in battle soon."
Mass-produced soldiers and knights are not equal treatment, and most mutations are negative.
So, in the next round of patrols, these will be the priority to become the loser.
If they can’t die as losers, doesn’t that mean that the Beast Tamer underestimated the potential of the mutation, which should have been preserved?
"Professor Wen is going to collect something three kilometers southwest today, send two people and a pack of wolves. Um, take two packs of wolves..."
The wolf pack has expanded to 400, of which about 300 are ready to fight, greatly alleviating the shortcomings of insufficient local combat power.
But in terms of individual combat power... well, it’s probably still not enough to win a regular one-tier Battle-profession.
The wolf pack is still iterating and training, sharing their Abnormal Ability, but for combat skills and tactics, they need acquired training.
Accumulating their own combat power is the first priority for Lu Ping’an’s team, especially when the current environment is not safe... The information indicates that the place has fallen into war, so Lu Ping’an and his group are actually more patient in taming the beast swarm.
Wolves are constantly dying and iterating in battle, but the higher-level "knights" and "king’s selections" are naturally accumulating more and more.
The number of limit was deliberately suppressed on the wolf pack, but the quality threshold has been constantly rising through this voluntary attrition process.
In addition to the wolves, another kind of stupid and strong turtle-dragon-like creature is also on the taming list, but progress seems slow, and there are not enough capable Beast Tamers to spare.
Lu Ping’an has increased investment. More prey has turned into Life Essence with the help of the "Diversion Pool", speeding up the growth of the beast swarm and naturally speeding up the iterations.
The two Beast Tamers feed and share high-quality_magic_pets with their own abilities, and try to turn their "optimized genes" into the universal gene of the next generation of the beast swarm.
It is obvious that once the descendants of the wolves that had shared metalization re-metalize, the effect is at least 30% higher.
For some reason, Lu Ping’an feels that this ability is somewhat familiar....
"...Isn’t it just the lower level of your Life Illustration?"
With that in mind, Lu Ping’an suddenly realizes.
Life Illustrations can also enable "War Beasts" to master abilities. The difference is that Lu Ping’an’s side is plug-and-play, and not only can he get passive abilities, he can also easily master those combat skills and tactics that require training... It takes years for a wolf to learn formations and fencing skills.
With this book, Lu Ping’an already has partially the abilities of a Silver or even Gold level Beast Tamer.
However, due to the pet selection in his Life Illustration, it seemed that he had lost the best possibility of having a powerful soldier as a Beast Tamer, and could only choose the elite soldier route.
It’s not that he has any dissatisfaction with Zhi Xi and others, as this is already the core part of his combat power system. It’s just that the incomplete Tamer’s Path still leaves some regrets.
"Is there any possibility of making up for the Life Illustration, which is only Upper Silver..."
This demand has been proposed by Lu Ping’an earlier and has been the top research project for the Beast Tamer team.
Lu Ping’an’s Beast Tamer team is actually quite powerful. Two people who had reached the pinnacle and the end of the Beast Tamer profession but couldn’t be seen, and Marian, the Beast God Sect Priest, is the ultimate end of another path.
She has already taken up the local Beast Tamer profession and has reached the 2-tier level... Give her a little more time, and she is sure to step into the fourth-tier Decree-level.
Her core abilities did not quite match with Lu Ping’an’s party, though, and her experience in low-level beast taming was lacking as she needed more practice and refinement. In addition, she was not suitable for being a wage earner... But when it came to training War Beasts in battle skills and tactics, she received unanimous praise from Meow and Fang Wen.
In this regard, the Beast God Sect in the Silent Mountain Range World has an advantage over ordinary Beast Tamer professions. They have a lot of Beastmen battle skills and related tactics, which can be turned into assets in the Beast Tamer path after adjustments.
The ones who truly made the guidance and planning were the three great Beast Tamers, and Hua Xueyi and Meow were just the poor, hardworking and painstaking wage earners.
"... poor Hua senior sister is withered ..."
It’s not because she is thin or tired, but she feels withered as a whole person. When she has nothing to do, she only has the energy to lie down.
"Maybe it’s because too much blood has flowed. It’s even more outrageous than that monthly matter." Xia Qin is also full of sympathy for Hua Xueyi.
Especially when she saw Lu Ping’an walking over with a smile, ready to give the poor girl another extended repayment to save her life.
"Who would have thought that the metalization ability would be so useful... They can’t provide any other additional mutations, right?"
"Low-level Beast Tamers don’t need too many buffs... Take it slow."
The beast swarm grew at a visible speed, and Lu Ping’an himself received a report on the "Life Illustration" and his future path.
"The Life Illustration is not complete...?"
The Life Illustration of the Wind Reverser, acquired when Lu Ping’an was in adversity, was the crystallization of the Sophist’s life.
It is a Quasi-rule product, which actually contains "rules", but the core material is "Sophist"... This limits its upper limit of ability.
From the moment it was born, it was bound to be used by Wind Reverser Lu Ping’an. Every time he touched it, Lu Ping’an could sense its incompleteness and its desire to be complete...
"... But how exactly should it be done? I can’t take up the Beast Tamer profession and help supplement its rules."
This requirement has been raised by Lu Ping’an and Meow a few times. After the completion of the logistics Beast Tamer team, it has also become the top research goal.
Finally, when holding this feasibility report in his hand, Lu Ping’an was full of doubts.
"Can this really be done...?"
Making the Life Illustration complete is actually making the bound Lu Ping’an more complete.
To address congenital deficiencies, there are two approaches, one external and one internal.
"... This book is a demonic book that devours souls and flesh. Try to use it as much as possible. Even if the materials you get have no meaning to the Life Illustration, the book will gain nourishment in the process of digestion..."
This is the external supplement method, allowing it to feed and evolve. Lu Ping’an had a vague suspicion, and now it was just confirmed.
What he couldn’t be sure of was the "internal cure approach".
"Lu Ping’an, you indeed cannot take up the Beast Tamer profession... but you can become a Tamer. You can twist your Tamer’s Path and lock it to the ’Active Weapon’ control direction, linking it to the missing part. The concept of All Things Breathing and Active Weapons gives you the possibility to turn all beings into ’tamed beasts’ and create your own path."
