Chapter 532: Chapter 532: Three Joys Visit the Door
“Hahaha, I certainly can’t forget about this.” Young Khan seeming much friendlier towards Li Yao.
He pulled out three items and said : “These are the best items in my personal collection. Please feel free to choose one.”
Li Yao glanced casually and saw the Nightmare prefix equipment, one of which was even a Skill Book.
Li Yao hurriedly took a closer look, only to feel a hint of disappointment.
The jewelry was good, but the two rings he had were top-notch, and he didn’t want to replace them for now. Especially Time Trace; without a new legendaries or lore item to replace it, he wouldn’t consider swapping.
Not to mention its attributes, Time Trace alone gave him the ability to achieve things that were otherwise impossible.
The Skill Book, although not Bloodline Connection, was a very very rare Skill Book.
Beast Mastery!
Li Yao took a deep breath and said, “Originally, I was going to let MT choose, but this skill is too rare to pass up. So I hope you all won’t mind.”
All of Starfire agreed, allowing Li Yao to take the skill.
“Then I’ll choose this Skill Book.” Li Yao said.
“My friend, you have a good eye. It’s personal power that matters most. Equipment and weapons can be slowly acquired, but if your personal strength doesn’t grow, even good equipment won’t be of much use.” Young Khan handed the Skill Book to Li Yao.
“You’ve hit the nail on the head, Khan.” Li Yao then promptly learned the Skill Book.
“Whether you can help my father or not, I consider you my brother.” Young Khan announced.
With the atmosphere lively, Li Yao said in the team chat: “As for the remaining four pieces of equipment, Sister Li can divide them up.”
Sister Li nodded and began to redistribute the equipment, this time assigning them to either support or damage dealers, giving Starfire a slight power boost.
Although Li Yao did not get his desired Bloodline Connection, he was thrilled and satisfied to receive Beast Mastery.
Beast Mastery
Quality: Epic
Effect: After learning, the player can bind a pet, allowing other pets to gain a 10% bonus to all attributes from the bound pet. After binding, the pet can be summoned but cannot assist in battle. Binding/Unbinding has a cooldown of 3 hours.
Effect: Beast Control, can transform into the shape of the bound pet, gaining all the pet’s skills and abilities.
Learning conditions: Pass the third level of Beast God Trials
This skill is a unique skill of the Beast King class, and also one of the main reasons why Beast King Hunters are powerful.
In the past, a Beast King class even emerged that was built around this skill.
That is to capture a pet with many skills and high attributes, then bind with this pet, and capture a few other pets.
Whether it’s tackling dungeons or fighting monsters, the Hunter does not rely on the bow and arrow, but transforms into the shape of the bound pet for combat.
Once, this class’s most famous Hunter captured a Quasi-god Storm Crow as a pet.
With the Storm Crow’s help, he captured several powerful high-level boss pets, transformed into the Storm Crow, and along with his other pets, became one of the most powerful Hunters. His archery skills were poor, but with the Storm Crow and a variety of supporting skills, he became a Lightning Mage who was even crazier than a traditional Mage.
Some say that if it weren’t for his lackluster strength and the hubris that came with having a quasi-god level pet, he might have become a unique Hunter God.
Of course, Li Yao scoffs at such talk. No matter how good a pet is, a Hunter with poor abilities will never become a Hunter God. Even if he had a quasi-god (demigod) level pet or an actual God-level pet, it would be to no avail.
In addition, having a quasi-god quality pet merely indicates it has the potential to grow into a demigod—it does not guarantee actual demigod-level power.
That being said, the power of that player cannot be understated. Although he wasn’t capable of Divine Enthronement, he was one of the top-tier players, and with this skill, it’s equivalent to having an extra life.
Even though it’s not as valuable as Bloodline Connection, this skill is also very rare and does not have a specific source. There weren’t many Beast King Hunters who were able to acquire this skill in the later stages of the game, let alone in the early game. It was also one of the skills that Li Yao had been eyeing for a long time but hadn’t been able to acquire.
“Brothers, you’ve brilliantly completed the trials, impressing us with your skills, defeating stronger foes with your weaker forces. These are tactics we could all stand to learn. Come on, the feast prepared for you is ready, and the elders will oversee your oath of fraternity.” Young Khan said, pulling Li Yao along to the party.
Although Li Yao wanted to complete the first kill before going to the feast, he couldn’t refuse when they had everything ready. Reluctantly, he went along.
The rest of Starfire followed. Having witnessed Li Yao’s strength, the elders all concurred on Li Yao’s bright future. Having such a brother would undoubtedly benefit Young Khan in the future.
So they took the oath very seriously, publicizing the whole process and giving Li Yao adequate face in front of the entire clan.
The elders thought that after making such a public promise, Li Yao wouldn’t be able to refuse to come to their aid when they needed him.
Actually, Li Yao was thinking the same thing. Starfire’s base hadn’t been established yet, and their future plans of setting up sub-bases and raising centaur archers would certainly need the Cloven Hooves’ help.
The two parties hit it off instantly. The oath was overseen by the elders and blessed by the demigod. This wasn’t a simple oath of fraternity, but a mark of alliance between two forces. Of course, Starfire was relatively weak at the present.
The Cloven Hooves didn’t know much about the outside world, and they needed reliable information.
After the oath was done, the eyes of the statue of the God of Nature issued two beams of light that entered their hearts.
“The God of Nature’s blessing!” Everyone gasped, falling to their knees, “Young Khan has been blessed by the Gods, our tribe will rise once again to brilliance.”
Li Yao also found that his reputation had gone from respect to worship. This was a pleasant surprise.
Nature’s Gift: Twin Blessings: one can summon and teleport to the other one blessed, the cooldown is one month.
Effect 2: You can summon a projection of each other to fight. The summoned projection possesses 100% of the main body’s power. The duration is 1 hour, and the cooldown is 10 hours.
“Wow, big brother, you’ve hit the jackpot this time. You can summon a boss to fight for you.” Daimeng said, his eyes filled with envy as he watched Li Yao at the banquet.
Young Khan, of course, was even stronger. Li Yao was also quite satisfied, the rewards were already more than enough.
After an enjoyable feast, everyone had gotten a bit tipsy. Both parties had agreed to start their plan the next day.
As the event was wrapping up, Young Khan pulled Li Yao aside and said, “Brother, are you interested in Bloodline Connection?”
Startled, Li Yao who had drunk quite a bit snapped to his senses and said, “Which hunter wouldn’t be interested?”
“I can’t help you get a copy, but I do have a clue.” Young Khan paused before sharing…
