[Seven Star Body-tempering Technique: Middle-rank combat technique. Suitable for most ordinary-type pets. It can improve the pet’s constitution and strength. When cultivated to the highest degree, it is said to allow the pet to absorb the power of seven stars. It is to be a combat technique for ordinary-type pets that is the fruit of decades of research by several Master beastmaters in Qixing City.]
It could be considered a relatively famous combat technique.
“Young man, you have good taste!” Seeing that Wang Ye had chosen this combat technique, Xing Wuya applauded from the side.
“...” Wang Ye.
It was mainly because there weren’t many options left.
“Although this combat technique seems to only be a middle-rank technique, it’s not inferior to an emperor-rank technique!” Xing Wuya stroked his white beard and spoke with confidence, “If your pet can cultivate it to the ninth degree, it can then absorb the power of stars and become a starry-sky behemoth, thus having a powerful body characteristic. It can be said to have endless potential.”
“It’s so powerful?” Wang Ye asked in surprise.
The city lord of Qixing City didn’t look like a liar.
“That’s right,” Jiang He smiled, “As a result, after so many years, only two or three people managed to help their pets cultivate this combat technique to that degree. If your pet can cultivate to that degree, this middle-rank combat technique will be of little help.”
Wang Ye rubbed his chin. So that was the case.
“Moreover, this was created by the city lord of Qixing City back then,” Jiang He looked at Xing Wuya, “Did your pets cultivate to the ninth degree?”
“...” Xing Wuya.
The two seemed to be on pretty good terms. Xing Wuya cleared his throat and said, “That’s because my pets are too strong. They are no longer suitable. It’s not the fault of the combat technique, though. Besides, what other combat techniques can the professions department come up with? Can you come up with emperor-rank combat techniques?”
“Of the only two high-rank combat techniques here, one of them is from the universities. As for the Sea-overturning Swimming Technique that you guys provided, it isn’t that good either. Among the water-type pets, only a few fish-type pets can learn it. At least the one I provided is suitable for most ordinary-type pets. Do you understand the importance of the combat techniques’ adaptability?”
Wang Ye muttered in his heart, the matter with combat techniques was really not simple.
Unfortunately, with the tens of thousands of pets and their combat techniques, the ranks of the combat techniques were not important at all... What was important was how many pets could learn the technique.
For example, the combat techniques of Xiao Jiu and the white python.
Didn’t they sound powerful?
Emperor-rank combat techniques, right?
The techniques provided all sorts of buffs, combat special effects, additional skills, and so on.
There might not be such monstrous emperor-rank combat techniques.
However, they were both limited combat techniques.
Other than Xiao Jiu and the white python, no other pet would have a chance of successfully cultivating them!
Even if he made them public, it would be useless.
They were called emperor-rank combat techniques, but in truth, there was no demand for them at all.
In contrast, most of the basic combat techniques, such as the Cloud-swallowing Technique and the Seven Star Body-tempering Technique, were widely applicable.
Although they weren’t strong, many pets were able to cultivate them, and that was enough.
Furthermore, as the pets grew stronger, their combat power would improve and they would be increasingly intelligent. By then, they would have their own understanding of these basic combat techniques over the years, and it was very likely that they would walk their own path, modifying these combat techniques into unique ones that were more suitable for themselves.
Many of the high-ran, and even emperor-rank combat techniques of pets originated as such.
Few pets learned emperor-rank combat techniques from the start.
In essence, Xiao Jiu and the white python hadn’t either. They had simply sped up the process in the simulator.
This resulted in them being able to learn emperor-rank combat techniques “immediately”.
After choosing the combat technique, the next step was to choose a skill scroll.
Skill scrolls could be considered a shortcut to learning a skill.
They were usually created with the cooperation of a pet and a beastmaster with spirit-type talents. Through soul transmission, the pet would teach its skill to the beastmaster, then the beastmaster would use a unique spirit-type secret technique to integrate the pet’s skill information into a special scroll.
Through a specific verification code, the scroll could be opened, allowing the pet to obtain the skill information within and thus comprehend the skill.
Such beastmasters were also known as scroll masters, which was also a secondary class among beastmasters.
However, they were very rare.
After all, the requirement of the scroll master class for the beastmaster’s spiritual power was extremely high. Oftentimes, only beastmasters with spirit-type talents could achieve such a requirement.
It was an extremely profitable secondary class in society.
After all, skills were the most direct display of a pet’s combat strength.
To be honest, many of the beastmasters’ secondary classes were incredibly profitable...
It was just that many secondary classes often had certain requirements for the beastmasters.
Wang Ye didn’t need any skill scrolls. After all, the sword rabbit’s comprehension abilities were superb, so such a thing was only the icing on the cake.
Therefore, he chose one randomly.
[Battle Intent: Advanced combat-type skill. Stimulates one’s fighting spirit, allowing one to enter a unique combat state where one can sense the opponent and resist all spiritual control.]
The rewards were very sincere.
Other than the combat techniques, they were all high-grade goods.
Lastly, there was the attributed secret treasure, which was a rare item.
This was because attributed secret treasures were all one-time consumables, yet their growth conditions were harsh.
The professions department had provided a total of nine attributed secret treasures. In addition to the normal five elements of metal, wood, water, fire, and earth, there were four other types: sky, ice, lightning, and soul.
Light, dark, space, and phantom attributed secret treasures were not on the list.
Wang Ye took a glance and immediately had his yes on one of the attributed secret treasures, “Heaven and earth spirit root.”
Just its name was enough to make one know it was incredible.
When he first heard of it just now, Wang Ye thought that he had heard it wrong. Had he transmigrated to a celestial cultivation world instead?
In reality, it was a type of ginseng that was buried underground.
[Heaven and Earth Spirit Root: Soul-type secret treasure. A spirit root that grows after absorbing the essence of the earth. It must withstand wind and rain, thunder and lightning, and absorb the essence of the five elements before it can grow. It can greatly increase the soul growth of the pet, improve the pet’s constitution, and eliminate some of the pet’s negative characteristics.]
