9 Chapter 6: Signing the Contract, First Training_2
Translator: 549690339
[A Guardian Beast’s skill proficiency can be increased using energy or through repeated training.]
[The higher the proficiency of a skill, the higher its accuracy, the faster its speed, and the stronger its power.]
Chen Fan stared and saw that Snowy’s “Thunder Cat Claw” proficiency was only at 1.
The highest proficiency level is 100, with a full bar of experience at 100.
That means, if he were to purely use system energy to raise Snowy’s skill proficiency, it would require 100 points of energy.
Chen Fan didn’t mind using energy directly to help Snowy reach the limit of Thunder Cat Claw’s proficiency.
The problem was that the system currently only had 20 points of energy.
At that moment…
Chen Fan felt a strange force coming from Snowy’s body and it transferred to his own.
“Boom!”
Chen Fan’s body trembled slightly, and his joints made crackling sounds!
“This is… the power of the Guardian Beast that is feeding back to the Guardian Beastmaster after signing a contract!”
An understanding surged through Chen Fan’s heart as he gently clenched his fists.
He had previously researched a lot about Guardian Beasts and knew that Guardian Beastmasters and their Guardian Beasts mutually promote and grow together.
The Beastmaster’s Space contains the power of a Guardian Beastmaster’s bloodline and soul, which can help the Guardian Beast grow rapidly and make breakthroughs;
And each time a Guardian Beast’s Combat Power Level and Species Level increase, they will feed back to the Guardian Beastmaster’s Star Power, greatly increasing their own Star Power.
After all, Snowy had just Awakened and was only at Level 1, so the power feedback this time didn’t seem to be very strong.
However, Chen Fan still felt his own strength increase substantially within that instant!
He could already clearly feel an odd power circulating rapidly throughout his body!
This was Star Power!
Chen Fan walked over to a moss-covered large rock, took a deep breath, and then slapped his palm forcefully on the rock…
“Boom!”
The large rock shook violently, and from the center where Chen Fan’s palm landed, spider web-like fissures cracked open in all directions!
“…”
Chen Fan looked at his palm, his eyes filled with disbelief!
Previously, he felt that Snowy was only Level 1, so the power being fed back to him wasn’t very strong. He didn’t expect that one slap could nearly shatter the rock!
With such power…
Even if he were to use a large iron hammer and gave it his all before he crossed worlds, he might not have been able to accomplish this!
And this was when he didn’t know how to use Star Power yet!
If he learned how to stimulate Star Power, the power of this slap would probably increase even more!
Chen Fan gratefully rubbed Snowy’s head: “Snowy, thank you. My strength has increased a lot, and I can feel the circulation of Star Power in my body now.”
Snowy closed its eyes in enjoyment, lightly patting Chen Fan’s arm with its small paw.
Chen Fan smiled and pointed at a small tree five meters away: “Snowy, use your ‘Thunder Cat Claw’ to attack that little tree.”
Snowy stared at Chen Fan with wide eyes, then glanced at the small tree.
After that, it casually waved its little claw.
There was no movement to it.
It was just an ordinary claw swipe.
“…”
Chen Fan scratched his head: “That’s not how you should swing your paw. Concentrate and think, don’t you remember a skill called ‘Thunder Cat Claw’? You can release lightning power from your claws?”
Snowy looked at Chen Fan, back at the little tree, and then mustered up its energy, fiercely swiping its claw…
Still, there was no movement.
“…”
Chen Fan opened his mouth, wanting to say something but held back.
Right…
After the system was activated, there were 20 points of energy available.
First, use some energy to raise Snowy’s skill proficiency!
Chen Fan focused his thoughts and clicked on the plus sign next to “Thunder Cat Claw” on the virtual panel.
[1 point of energy consumed, increased Snowy’s proficiency by 1 point.]
[5 points of energy consumed, increased Snowy’s proficiency by 5 points.]
…
After adding 10 points to Snowy’s “Thunder Cat Claw,” Snowy’s skill proficiency in it reached 11.
There were still 10 energy points left on the energy bar.
Chen Fan wasn’t sure how difficult it would be to obtain more energy later, so he kept 10 points in reserve.
That’s because after catching fish later, it’s essential to use 10 points of energy to help Snowy upgrade from Level 1 to Level 2.
Chen Fan stopped and said to Snowy, “Snowy, give it another try. Use the ‘Thunder Cat Claw’ to attack that small tree… Focus and believe in yourself!”
Snowy looked at her little paws, then at the small tree, and gently waved her paw…
“Crackle!”
A cat’s paw made of lightning shot out and grazed past the small tree, hitting a large tree seven meters away, creating a charred hole in it!
“Meow (Scared)!”
Snowy, surprised by her own power, jumped back into Chen Fan’s arms.
“Don’t be afraid, this is your skill, and you’re awesome, Snowy!”
Chen Fan was both shocked and delighted.
As expected, the power of lightning is formidable!
It’s not only fast but also destructive!
Chen Fan embraced Snowy and went over to inspect the damage.
The hole in the large tree was about the size of his clenched fist.
If this were to hit a person…
Would Snowy’s attack be so terrifying with just a Combat Power Level of 1?
But on the other hand, the small tree was only five meters away, and the accuracy seemed a little off.
“Come on, Snowy, practice a few more times, and you’ll be familiar with this skill.”
Chen Fan held Snowy and returned to their original position, signaling her to continue attacking the small tree two meters away.
This time, Snowy was much more proficient. With quick left and right swipes of her two paws, a lightning cat paw formed and flashed out with each swipe, at an astonishing speed!
However…
None of the nine lightning cat paws hit the small tree.
“Meow meow (Am I terrible)…”
Snowy looked timidly at Chen Fan, feeling a bit embarrassed.
Chen Fan chuckled wryly: “Snowy, you’re so amazing, how could you be terrible?”
“You’ve just learned this skill, and being able to use it so proficiently is already quite impressive.”
“As the saying goes, practice makes perfect. With more practice, you’ll be able to improve your accuracy.”
With Chen Fan’s encouragement, Snowy started swinging her paws at the small tree again.
This time, she didn’t hastily swing but stared at the tree for a while before raising her paw and gently swiping…
“Boom!”
A lightning cat paw hit the small tree, causing the tree with a diameter of five centimeters to snap with a bang!
“Success!”
Chen Fan picked up Snowy and burst out laughing.
Snowy also meowed happily in response.
Together, the two of them practiced the “Thunder Cat Claw” on various small trees in the forest clearing.
Chen Fan learned about Snowy’s attack power and the maximum distance she could attack with her Thunder Cat Claw.
Meanwhile, Snowy’s use of the Thunder Cat Claw became more and more effortless, and her accuracy increased significantly.
Not only that, but she was also gradually able to control the power of each attack.
However, after using the Thunder Cat Claw dozens of times, Snowy’s spirit began to falter, and her head drooped weakly.
Chen Fan also felt that Snowy’s energy seemed to be severely drained.
He quickly took out the chicken leg he had received in the square: “Snowy, let’s rest for a while. Eat this chicken leg, and later I’ll take you to catch fish!”
“Catch fish!” Snowy’s eyes widened with excitement.
She grabbed the chicken leg with both paws, ready to eat with the leg in her clutches.
But just as she was about to put the chicken leg in her mouth, Snowy suddenly stopped.
She stared at Chen Fan, brought the chicken leg over to him, and conveyed telepathically, “Eat, eat…”
Hearing this in his mind and seeing the scene before him, Chen Fan was so touched that he almost cried.
