[Species Level Evolution Routes]: Two
First, the Normal Evolution Path: Jade Slime —+ Mad Shark Slime —9 Tsunami Slime. The materials and methods needed to experience evolution from Extraordinary/Moderate to Extraordinary/High…
Second, the Hidden Variant Evolution Path: Jade Slime -9 Storm Slime Demon King Slime… The materials and methods needed to experience evolution from Extraordinary/Moderate to Extraordinary/High…
Whether it is the increase of combat power level or the upgrade of species level, the guardian beast will undergo some changes in size and appearance.
However, once the species level reaches a certain standard, another evolution might result in a species mutation, such as Jade Slime mutating into Storm Slime, or the Wild Savage Ape mutating into Eight-Armed Mad Ape.
Latterly, it is quite normal for a cat to evolve into a lion or tiger.
Previously, Chen Fan was surprised when he saw many “storm” patterns on Jade.
Because after Snowy’s combat power level and species level were upgraded, there had never been such obvious changes.
However, after Jade’s combat power level increased from level 2 to level 3 and its species level progressed from Extraordinary/Low to
Extraordinary/Moderate, numerous faint “storm” patterns appeared on its body.
Chen Fan speculated that Jade might possibly evolve into a genuine “Storm Slime” after several species evolutions.
Chen Fan didn’t dare to mention the matter of upgrading the species level.
Because assisting a guardian beast in increasing its combat power level in a short period of time is already a bit shocking… After all, professional institutions require several months, and the time taken by the guardian beastmaster themselves might be even longer.
Upgrading the species level is much more difficult than raising the combat power level.
At that time, opening a guardian beast cultivation shop and just focusing on enhancing the guardian beast’s combat power level would rake in a lot of money.
The beast cultivation capabilities of the system are a little overpowered…
Whether it’s a beast cultivation company or individual guardian beastmasters, they need to combine three methods to upgrade their guardian beasts’ combat power level or species level.
First, Beastmaster’s Space. The Beastmaster’s Space is specifically designed to help guardian beasts meditate and grow. This is the basic condition for monsters to sign a contract with guardian beast masters… Star Martial Artists without a Beastmaster’s Space would definitely not be able to sign contracts with monsters;
Second, various famous rare ingredients, or heaven and earth treasures suitable for the guardians’ attributes;
Third, battles, endless battles!
Combining these three methods can upgrade the guardians’ combat power levels and species levels.
But Chen Fan’s Beastmaster System bypasses the first and third methods, directly amplifying the second method countless times.
As long as he finds the right materials, he can help the guardian beasts to breakthrough in the shortest possible time!
“Feicui, did you really break through to level 3?”
Fang Qingqing looked at the visibly changed Feicui, half-doubtful and half-convinced, “Did it just happen recently?”
“Yes.” Chen Fan nodded.
Fang Qingqing widened her eyes, “Feicui is amazing… But it’s also quite normal. Maybe Feicui had already reached the peak of level 2 and was at the threshold of level 3.”
Chen Fan said in frustration, “It seems that you still think I’m a scammer… Even if Feicui had reached the critical point, it was with my help that it broke through.”
“I didn’t mean that.” Fang Qingqing gave a bitter smile, “So… How long would it take for you to help me train my Azure Dragon to raise its combat power level to level 6?”
“Azure Dragon” was her Cold Ice White Python Guardian Beast.
When they first met by the Sinking Star River, that white python had once scared Chen Fan.
Chen Fan gestured with his hand, “First, summon the Cold Ice White Python.” Fang Qingqing nodded and summoned the Cold Ice White Python.
As soon as the Cold Ice White Python crawled out of the array, it hissed at Chen
Fan.
“It’s hard to say how long it would take to break through; no one can promise that.” Chen Fan had Feicui circle around the white python before saying, “But I think around twenty days should be doable?”
“You think…” Fang Qingqing was at a loss for words.
She kept feeling that Chen Fan was fooling her.
But what if Chen Fan could really raise the Azure Dragon to level 6 in just over twenty days?
Although it wouldn’t be in time for the ring match in half a month, it seemed to be much faster than those beast-raising studios.
Many beast-raising studios take three or four months to train Guardian Beasts, and they’re not even guaranteed to succeed.
Seeing that Fang Qingqing had become much less vigilant, Chen Fan struck while the iron was hot, “If I work overtime and devote more time and energy to train the Cold Ice White Python, maybe I can raise its combat power level before the ring match.”
“But it’s hard to be absolute about training Guardian Beasts… Maybe it only needs ten days to break through?” “Maybe it takes thirty-four days?”
“I can’t guarantee the time absolutely.”
Fang Qingqing nodded, “I understand… So, how much would you charge me to help train the Cold Ice White Python?” Got her!
No, wait, I’m not scamming anyone!
Chen Fan grinned, “160,000 union coins, and you need to collect all the materials yourself.”
“From level 5 to level 6, that’s a leap from ordinary to elite. Most beast cultivation companies or studios charge over 280,000 union coins, and it might take four or five months.”
“My price…”
“I know, it’s very favorable!” Fang Qingqing nodded, “Thank you, Chen Fan.”
“You don’t have to be so polite… What if I fail? If it fails, I’ll refund you in full.” Chen Fan waved his hand, “I’ll send you the list of materials needed on WeChat.
Once you’ve collected all the materials in a few days, bring the Cold Ice White
Python over as soon as possible.”
“We don’t want to delay the three major academy ring matches… Shen Daodao was so annoying today. I hope you can represent War God Academy and beat him so badly that he’ll cry for his parents!”
“I know.” Fang Qingqing said with a smile, “I don’t have any money on me right now. I’ll have my family send some money over later, and then I’ll transfer it to you.”
“No problem.” Chen Fan nodded, and left with Feicui, saying as they walked, “Alright, you go ahead, I’m going to have breakfast.”
“Uh… okay!” Fang Qingqing watched Chen Fan’s retreating figure, her eyes full of wonder.
After finishing his breakfast, Chen Fan took a taxi straight to the Beast Trainer Association.
He needed to obtain a Beast trainer certificate to open a pet shop.
Chen Fan had already paid the registration fee on the Beast Trainer Association’s official website last night.
A whole 1.5W union coins.
Before paying the registration fee, Chen Fan had also looked up related information on the internet…
The beast trainer’s assessment usually involves a randomly placed monster at the assessment site, requiring the examinees to identify its attributes, habits, characteristics, and provide helpful methods and routes for its breakthrough.
This tests the examinee’s knowledge of monsters extensively.
In a sense, it even depends on luck…
If you happen to encounter a monster you’ve seen or understand, passing the assessment will naturally be easy.
But what if you haven’t seen it before?
Then it’s up to each person’s abilities.
There are three stages to pass in the assessment alone.
It’s not easy to muddle through.
But for Chen Fan, it’s a piece of cake!
The Beast Trainer Association is located in the southern part of East Sea City.
It took a full hour and a half to get there by car from War God Academy.
Chen Fan got out of the car and looked around.
The car had driven straight into a forest, which was surrounded by towering trees.
Directly in front of him was a majestic courtyard.
At the entrance of the courtyard, the words “Beast Trainer Association East Sea City Branch” were written.
Under the guidance of the staff, Chen Fan entered the assessment hall’s rest area, confirmed his identity, and waited for the assessment to be called.
Having earned 16W union coins today, he felt invigorated.
The costs for Snowy and Feicui to continue upgrading were now settled.
With money, one can do anything; without money, it’s difficult to make even a single step.
99% of the pain and discontent of Guardian Beastmasters are fundamentally because… they’re broke!
Indeed…
Although Guardian Beastmasters can earn money quickly, that’s only relative to ordinary people and Star Martial Artists.
The problem is that although they earn money fast, they also spend it fast.
Raising Guardian Beasts is not easy!
Raising a goblin might be cheaper than raising an ordinary person.
But raising something like Shen Daodao’s Dragon Blood Mad Lion can easily make a Guardian Beastmaster go broke!
Take Chu Xuan’s Heavy-armored Beetle King, for example; it’s a big eater that’s always eating.
And the Heavy-armored Beetle King is massive in size, scaring people with its huge appetite!
Who could afford to raise it?
Chen Fan now not only wants to raise Guardian Beasts, but also to quickly upgrade their Combat Power Level and Species Level.
Now he only has Snowy and Feicui. As soon as he contracts more Guardian Beasts, he’ll essentially be constantly burning money.
Contracting multiple Guardian Beasts, and helping them enhance their Combat Power Level and Species Level, then relying on their feedback to drastically increase Chen Fan’s own Star Power… the ideal is beautiful, but reality is brutal.
Without substantial funds, it’s impossible to support!
Chen Fan wants to make money now more than ever.
Raising these little ones is not easy.
After waiting for half an hour in the rest area, the names of Chen Fan and a group of people were called through the broadcast.
Standing up, Chen Fan followed a staff member into a room, handed over his smart equipment, and received a card with his exam room number and number
on it.
Then, he entered another room with a group of people led by the staff.
There were many desks in the room, and each had a name and corresponding exam number written on them.
Chen Fan found his seat and sat down.
Suddenly, a bell rang, and a proctor came in with a stack of papers.
“Where’s the monster?”
Chen Fan glanced at the papers in the proctor’s hand and had a faint feeling of unease.
He could see it very clearly…
These were test papers, not white paper!
As expected…
The proctor distributed the papers.
Chen Fan opened the papers and stared wide-eyed!
The first question…
What kind of food does a Level 4 Thorn Wood Demon like to eat? What kind of food helps Level 4 Thorn Wood Demon’s growth?
Second question…
Ironwood Spirit Leaves have no benefit to the Combat Power Level and Species Level of the Human-faced Demon Spider, so why do Human-faced Demon Spiders extremely love to eat Ironwood Spirit Leaves?
Third question…
Can a Level 3 Fire-element Fire Python Tiger defeat a Water-element Blue Water Demon Python of the same level in combat?
“Damn it…” Chen Fan’s face darkened..
