Beast Trainer Association.
Training ground.
This is a special training ground Zhang Hai prepared for Chen Fan.
The training ground is located behind the villa where Chen Fan lived.
A large forest.
There are stones, lakes, and slopes.
Both the villa and the training ground are shrouded in a large mysterious array.
Even if there was a tremendous disturbance here, nothing could be heard or seen from outside.
Probably only a select few in the entire Beast Trainer Association have enjoyed such treatment.
At the moment, sitting next to the stone table, Chen Fanās gaze swept back and forth over Snowy and Elder Ape.
After a while, Chen Fan nodded and said, āSnowy, aim at that cyan stone and use your evolved skill āThunder Bladeā.ā
Snowy blinked, and with a flash of Thunder, instantly teleported in front of the cyan stone and swung its clawā¦
A Thunder Blade glimmering with dazzling light was instantly formed and cut through the cyan stone.
āSizzle!ā
The sound was very light.
The cyan stone was instantly split in two.
In the meantime, Elder Ape, seeing Snowyās skill, looked much more serious than usual.
The Thunder attribute counters Shadow attributeā¦ Although Li Sheng mentioned in class that the so-called counter was only a slight advantage to one side, it wasnāt a complete suppression. But the Elder Ape by nature disliked the power of the Lightning System.
Chen Fan gently patted Elder Apeās shoulder to calm him down, then walked over.
He crouched down and touched the cut-open stone.
The cut surface was as smooth as jade.
The evolution from Thunder Cat Claw to Thunder Blade was a massive transformation.
Previously, the Thunder Cat Claw would explode outward after hitting an
enemy.
For example, if it hit a tree, it would blow a hole in that tree much larger than Snowyās claw.
But when it became Thunder Blade, there was much less sound, though the attack power increased substantially.
Such a Thunder Blade was likely unstoppable for many Guardian Beasts of the same class whose defenses arenāt strong.
Chen Fan pointed to another stone six meters away and said, āSnowy, stand here and use Thunder Blade to attack that stone.ā
āOk!ā Snowy nodded.
After realizing that its attack power had greatly increased, Snowy, feeling excited, took a fierce swipe at the stone Chen Fan pointed at.
āSizzle!ā
A flash of brilliance in mid-air. The Thunder Blade flew out and bisected the space.
The sound of the stone being bisected echoed through the arena!
āWhen the distance is increased, the attack power does decrease somewhat.ā
Chen Fan nodded slightly and said, āSnowy, you go to the west side of the training ground, practice your skills more, both close combat and long-range techniques should be given a thought.ā
āGot it!ā Snowy couldnāt wait and rushed to the west side of the training ground.
Under the dim light, Thunder Blades, flashing with glaring light, began to come into view.
Chen Fan then looked at Gangzi.
Gangzi walked over, head held high, looking proud and determined.
After the Combat Power Level of Gangzi was promoted to level 3 and the Species Level also advanced to āAwakened/Highā, its skill āSharp Rock Spikeā evolved into āPurple Crystal Spikeā, and āStone Skinā evolved into āPurple Crystal Armorā.
Now, it too seemed eager to show its strength in front of Chen Fan.
Before Chen Fan could speak, Gangziās body began to flash purple.
A layer of purple crystals covered its entire body.
Gangzi looked at Elder Ape smugly next to him.
Elder Ape blinked, couldnāt help but touch the purple crystal on Gangziās body.
Chen Fan unsheathed his long knife, used about sixty percent of his strength and lightly sliced Gangziās back.
āDing!ā
A crisp sound rang out, leaving only a small scratch on the purple crystal.
Gangzi held its head high, displaying an air of defiance.
Chen Fan added a bit more strength, the long knife burst out with white light, and he brought the knife down again.
āClang!ā
This time, the sound was louder, and a tiny crack appeared on the purple crystal.
Thatās a strong defenseā¦
Chen Fan nodded and said, āIf I use all my strength to swing this knife, I should be able to break your defense.ā
Gangzi seemed a bit frustrated and shook his head a little.
Chen Fan continued, āBut if you level up your Species Level or Combat Power Level by one, even if your skill does not evolve, I doubt I could break your defense with my current strength.ā
Hearing this, Gangzi again became proud, holding his head up high.
Afterwards, Gangzi turned around, stared at a stone in front of it, and snorted disdainfullyā¦
āBoom! Boom! Boom!ā
Sharp and deadly purple crystal spikes burst out of the ground in front of it like a dragon, attacking the stone quickly.
āBoom!ā
The Purple Crystal Spike directly blew the stone into the sky, exploding it into fragments and scattering them all over.
After all this, Gangzi looked at Chen Fan expectantly.
Chen Fan smiled faintly, gently patted Gangziās head: āVery impressive, well done.ā
Gangzi made a ājust fineā expression, and glanced at Elder Ape again.
Chen Fan didnāt say anything, he stroked his chin and began to ponder.
He thought before that Gangziās āPurple Crystal Spikeā was a sudden burst of āCrystal Thornā from the groundā¦
The sudden emergence of crystal thorns under the enemyās belly, or between the legsā¦ Thinking about it made people unconsciously clench their legs, the thought itself sent chills down the spine.
However, he found that he had guessed wrong.
Gangziās move, after being initiated, shoots Crystal Thorns from its body, then rapidly attacks the enemy.
This type of attack lacks surprise, is predictable, and is not fast enough, making it easy to dodge or defend against.
Snowyās Thunder Blade is different because it moves too quickly. Unless the enemy is constantly watching Snowyās claws, it is not easy to avoid.
Chen Fan moved Gangzi aside and asked Feicui to step forward.
āFeicui, use āStorm Tearā on that column,ā Chen Fan said, pointing at a column over two meters in diameter to the east.
āSquawk!ā
Feicui blinked its little eyes and opened its mouth to unleash a storm.
āWhooosh!ā
As sand and rocks flew about, the pillar was yanked up into the air by the storm.
Thenā¦
The airborne pillar, under the tear of the āStorm Tearā , instantly fell apart into countless fragments.
Gangziās body stiffened, startled by Feicuiās skill.
Back when it first met Chen Fan, it had had a battle with Feicui and was repeatedly swept up by its storm and thrown dizzily down.
But back then, Feicuiās skills didnāt include āTearā!
Now that Feicui used this skill, such a thick column was torn into countless shattered stones in an instant!
Gangzi showed a grinning smile, ran to Feicuiās side, lightly patted it with a small claw, and complimented it.
Feicui was very happy, with its eyes squinted until they were barely visible.
Error, the Elder Ape, looked at Feicui in surprise.
He had already learned human script and read many books, so he knew well that slimes didnāt have much attack power. Unexpectedly, Feicui was so terrifying!
āThereās one more skill.ā
Chen Fan pointed at a stone pillar in the distance and said, āFeicui, try the other skill, Water Dragon Roar.ā
Feicui blinked its small eyes and opened its mouthā¦
A mouthful of saliva was sprayed out.
āPop!ā Gangzi, who was attentively watching Feicui demonstrate its powers, fell flat on the ground.
Is the Water Dragon Roar just spitting out saliva?
You gotta be kidding me!
Gangzi scratched its head in frustration.
Feicui looked at Chen Fan timidly, looking pitiful.
āDonāt worry.ā
Chen Fan directly used system energy to increase the proficiency of the āWater Dragon Roarā for Feicui to 45 points.
āSquawk!ā
Feicui felt the change in the skill, widened its eyes, and looked at Chen Fan.
āTry it again.ā Chen Fan encouraged, nodding.
This time, Feicui had confidence.
It silently looked at the pillar not far away, then slowly opened its mouth.
A swirl of mist quickly formed in its mouth.
Thenā¦
āRoar!ā
A water dragon, more than two feet in diameter, roared out and heavily hit the stone pillar!
The huge pillar was shattered on the spot, with stone chips flying about!
āSquawk, squawk!ā
Feicui was also startled by the power of its attack, so much so it hopped straight onto Chen Fanās head.
Elder Ape touched his headā¦these few companions were more terrifying than one another.
Was this really a slime?
Gangzi on the side was both joyful and despondent.
He was happy that Feicui was so powerful, but despondent that his own attackā¦ seemed to be far weaker than Feicuiās.
Chen Fan sensed the desolation in Gangziās heart, gently patted its head and said, āFeicuiās combat power level is higher than yours, and it is a mutated slime. When your combat power level reaches 4th level, your attack power will also greatly increase.ā
āPlus, Feicui doesnāt have any defense skills; if thereās a fight in the future, itās still going to rely on you to cast āPurple Crystal Armorā on it.ā
Hearing this, Gangziās expression improved a lot.
Feicui bounced lightly, landed on Gangziās head, and made a series of squawking sounds.
Gangzi turned its head away haughtily, then picked another fruit from the stone table and handed it over to Feicui.
Chen Fan directed his gaze toward the Elder Ape, āElder Ape, come, try all of your skills.ā
āShadow Canopy, Shadow Claw, Frog Transformation.ā
Elder Ape nodded and moved to the side.
The next moment, its eyes suddenly turned blood red, and its entire body disappeared into the shadows.
āGah!ā
Gangzi was shocked, its fur standing on end!
This kind of Guardian Beast, which can suddenly disappear, gave it a subconscious sense of unease.
Fortunately, Gangziās mood quickly returned to normalā¦after all, this was its partner, not an enemy.
Chen Fan stroked his chin, watching the invisible Elder Ape.
He didnāt know if it was because he was the Elder Apeās Guardian Beastmaster, or because of the system, but after the Elder Ape became invisible, he could still see it clearly.
In his line of sight, the Elder Ape was shrouded in shadow; its body seemed a bit transparent.
Besides, the attribute panel next to the Elder Ape did not disappear just because it became invisible..
