Chapter 325 — Another Great Harvest and Shi Ying's Ambition

Chong Xuan had also mentioned this: Gigantification, Concealed Edge, Unstoppable, Lightning Rod — all easily overload the self. Even a skill like Shockwave, through the spatial recoil, would place a certain load on the Jiuli War Beast, which was not a space-type itself.

And the Iron-Eating Beast was not a species skilled in healing-type skills. Though fierce, it was also harmful.

Therefore, Shi Jin prepared to cultivate a completely different Jiuli War Beast — one that could convert damage taken into life force, a ferocious Panda King with the strongest physique. Of course, the premise was successfully finding that ultra-rare ultra-rank skill recorded in the illustrated guide...

That way, Eleven surpassing Emperor Wu's Iron-Eating Beast would be easy.

As for Buggy, honestly, although it had the Imagination skill to compensate for racial flaws and improve endurance, Shi Jin felt it was still not enough.

...

So Shi Jin had set his sights on a bug-type super-tier skill.

Ultimate Drain.

This bug-type super-tier skill allowed one to drain an enemy's life force and energy through attacks, restoring one's own wounds and stamina.

If Chongchong could learn this skill, and with the backing of high proficiency, combine "Ultimate Drain" with "Illusory Phantom" into a combo technique...

Then, with its "Teleport" plus "Void Concealment" configuration, Chongchong could send an endless swarm of phantoms to attack the enemy while healing its own health and energy, drawing its racial advantages out to the fullest.

If all went smoothly, even if Shiyi and Chongchong had not yet reached Overlord tier, they would likely be able to briefly contend with Overlord-tier foes, fighting head-on purely on the strength of all manner of vile skills!

Such was Shi Jin's ambition: to let Shiyi and the others, even at Monarch tier, stand and crush Overlords through sheer skill advantage.

Still, there were drawbacks to Shi Jin raising Shiyi and Chongchong this way.

Namely, it would easily make the next intra-team tournament... even more cutthroat.

"To replicate these skills, there are quite a few places I need to go, but that works out fine. I can tour Donghuang along the way. It has been so long since I transmigrated, and I still have not seen many places." Shi Jin murmured to himself.

And before setting off... it was time to let Shiyi try absorbing the Meteor An fragment.

...

Meanwhile.

As the national tournament drew to a close and the professional examination approached, apprentice beast tamers from all across the country began making their way to the great cities qualified to administer it.

Among them, Jiuchensha City had gathered countless talented newcomers.

Ancient Capital Airport.

Off the flight from Wuling City to the Ancient Capital, an apprentice beast tamer stepped down from the plane, drew a deep breath, and looked toward Ancient Capital University.

If Shi Jin were here, he would surely have recognized this youth: none other than An Chang, who had given him the family heirloom, the Awakening Mirror, and with his help had enabled the Dragon Carp to evolve successfully into a Sea Flood Dragon.

"I wonder if I will get to see him..." An Chang was nervous.

After all, he was a nobody, while Shi Jin...

He knew Shi Jin was formidable, but he had never imagined Shi Jin was this formidable. He had watched the national tournament, and Shi Jin had been like a god descended to earth. This made An Chang, who already regarded Shi Jin as an idol and a benefactor, worship him all the more. On this trip to the Ancient Capital, apart from taking the professional examination and getting a look at the Ancient Capital University he was about to enter, An Chang's chief purpose was to find Shi Jin.
