138: Chapter 138 This dragon-bear didn't appear out of thin air.
That's true.
No matter how strong it is, it is ultimately an Earth Spirit Cat.
When using an Earth Spirit Cat as a research subject, the focus is on its stable state, not the maximum combat power it can unleash.
To put it bluntly, no one would devote so much effort and spare no cost to cultivate a mediocre Earth Spirit Cat.
Except for that eccentric, Yue Yun.
Miao Sang was so full after eating the rock spirit vortex core that it couldn't walk, so Yue Yun picked it up in his arms and gently stroked its fur.
"How do you feel?" Wang Long asked curiously.
Mo Yu and Xu Qingfang also stared intently at Yue Yun, wanting to see to what extent the rock spirit vortex core would improve him.
Yue Yun thought for a moment: "It will still take time to fully digest the power of the rock spirit vortex core. Once the digestion is complete, the elemental progress bar will be maxed out, and its vitality will also receive a significant boost."
Currently, only Miao Sang's elemental progress was not yet maxed out.
Once the elemental progress is maxed out, Miao Sang's cultivation during its time as a regular Beast Tamer will be perfect, and it will be impossible to further improve any attributes by taking Low Grade potions.
Yue Yun's vitality, which had already reached its limit, would also increase further due to the Body Refining effect of the rock spirit vortex core.
"It's not yet known exactly how much it will improve."
Yue Yun really couldn't give an accurate value.
Xu Qingfang happily draped an arm over his shoulder, gesturing with his other hand as if he were pointing out the world.
"Any improvement is a good thing. When the time comes, we'll go into the Beast Taming College Entrance Examination and slaughter everything, showing them what real strength is!"
Xu Qingfang had already decided that after this special training in the Secret Realm ended, he would go to the Jianghai City Beast Tamer Association to use the directed skill cultivation opportunity awarded from the Campus Championship.
By then, his Thunderwing Griffin would also be perfectly cultivated.
With the Thunderwing Griffin's stats combined with powerful skills, plus Yue Yun's terrifying combat power, what does the Beast Taming College Entrance Examination matter?
We'll still slaughter everything!
The corners of Yue Yun's mouth curled up slightly: "Then let's go together. It just so happens that I haven't used my directed skill cultivation opportunity yet either."
He now had a clear understanding of himself.
Looking across the entire Nanyuan Province, his strength was among the best.
Although he had no plans to attend a Beast Taming University, he could still achieve good results in the Beast Taming College Entrance Examination and let those people see the strength of this unique Beast Tamer.
"Old Wang, it's time to go!"
Sounds came from not far away, where people were dismantling the Earth-Vein Dragon Bear.
Wang Long walked over quickly to help, and before long, he and the rest of the Beast Taming Group had packed everything up, ready to leave at any time.
This place was no longer safe.
First, there was a battle that caused quite a commotion, and then the time-consuming dismantling work; who knew if any people or Pet Beasts had snuck over, ready to launch a fatal blow at any moment.
The Beast Taming Group lived by the sword, so they were naturally extremely sensitive.
After dismantling the spoils, the Longzhou Beast Taming Group continued their journey.
Du Chuan still ran to the middle of the team, chatting with Yue Yun and the others, his mouth curved high in a smile that he couldn't suppress.
The Earth-Vein Dragon Bear was still too valuable.
Even with the precious rock spirit vortex core given to Yue Yun, the remaining Materials of the Earth-Vein Dragon Bear were extremely valuable, and after being brought out of the Cangyuan Secret Realm and traded, they would be a significant fortune.
As a member of the Beast Taming Group, even just an intern member could get a good share of the reward, so how could he not be happy?
"I never expected to encounter an Earth-Vein Dragon Bear this time. It's not often you see such a powerful and high-value Pet Beast!"
Excitement flashed in Du Chuan's eyes: "You're the impressive one, Yue Yun, being able to go head-to-head with the Earth-Vein Dragon Bear. If it were me or Handeng, we'd probably be slapped to death in one hit."
Du Chuan was only a Three-Star Beast Tamer.
The Earth-Vein Dragon Bear could withstand the concentrated fire of Four-Star Pet Beasts; even if he and Chu Handeng, who was at the same level, were tied together, they would still be no match for the Earth-Vein Dragon Bear.
He hadn't expected Yue Yun, who looked the weakest, to be so powerful. His Incarnation, the Divine General, was able to briefly check this terrifying Earth-Vein Dragon Bear under the cover of the Longzhou Beast Taming Group's firepower.
If it weren't for Yue Yun, it really wouldn't have been resolved so quickly.
"Mo Yu, you're also very impressive. To think so quickly that the Earth-Vein Dragon Bear's talent is Earth Scale—your brain is really sharp!"
Du Chuan turned to praise Mo Yu a few more times.
You could say Master Mo was unstable, but you could never say Master Mo was bad, because Master Mo was truly very talented.
Being able to discern that the Earth-Vein Dragon Bear's talent was Earth Scale amidst the dense attacks proved that Mo Yu was indeed well-read and had done quite a bit of research on Pet Beasts.
This alone made Du Chuan very impressed.
In the field of Beast Tamers, knowledge is equally important.
Things like Master Mo pointing out the Earth-Vein Dragon Bear's talent today and helping everyone find the breakthrough point were common throughout the entire field of Beast Tamers.
The commanders and scouts of Beast Taming Groups were usually people who were well-read like this, which allowed them to quickly judge the situation at hand and help the team make the most correct decisions.
Yue Yun and Mo Yu smiled modestly.
They both knew that the role they played during the hunt for the Earth-Vein Dragon Bear wasn't actually that important.
The ones who truly swayed the battle and decided the outcome were the Four-Star Beast Tamers of the Longzhou Beast Taming Group; without them, they could never have taken down this Earth-Vein Dragon Bear that excelled in both offense and defense.
However, Mo Yu soon felt doubtful again and couldn't help but ask Du Chuan beside him: "Brother Chuan, such a rare Pet Beast as the Earth-Vein Dragon Bear wouldn't just appear out of thin air, right? Are there other Earth-Vein Dragon Bears in the Cangyuan Secret Realm?"
Upon hearing this, Du Chuan couldn't help but freeze in place.
He scratched his head, feeling a bit awkward: "You've really stumped me with that question. It seems I really haven't seen many Dragon Bear-type Pet Beasts."
"What about Dragon-type Pet Beasts?"
Mo Yu persisted, unwilling to give up.
Before seeing the Earth-Vein Dragon Bear, Mo Yu had thought that the rumors of Dragon-type Pet Beasts in the Cangyuan Secret Realm were just rumors, but now he wasn't so sure.
The reproduction of Pet Beasts is all based on their species.
To give a simple example.
For instance, the Lion-type, Fire-attribute and Tiger-type, Fire-attribute species.
Under normal circumstances, there is reproductive isolation between the Lion-type and the Tiger-type; either they cannot reproduce, or they produce a Liger.
However, the attributes of both species are the same.
In this situation, they can reproduce normally, and might produce a Lion-type, Fire-attribute Pet Beast, or a Tiger-type, Fire-attribute Pet Beast.
They might also produce a Liger-type, Fire-attribute Pet Beast.
This type of Liger is not a sterile Liger, but rather a fertile Liger-type, Fire-attribute species.
The same applies to the Tiger-type, Water-attribute and Tiger-type, Fire-attribute species.
Hey, isn't that amazing!
Based on this situation, if there are no other Dragon Bear-type Pet Beasts in the Cangyuan Secret Realm, then how this hunted Earth-Vein Dragon Bear came to be is quite intriguing.
Du Chuan thought of what Wang Long had said earlier.
His expression couldn't help but change slightly, and he clicked his tongue: "No way, right?"
Even if there really were Dragon-type Pet Beasts in the core area, how could it, having never left the core area, hook up with a bear, and how did it let the Earth-Vein Dragon Bear appear in the Danger Zone?
However, thinking about it carefully, it was actually quite possible.
After all, an Earth-Vein Dragon Bear couldn't just appear out of thin air.
"Is there a problem?"
Mo Yu looked at Du Chuan in confusion, and Du Chuan shook his head slightly, signaling him not to worry: "I haven't heard any rumors about Dragon Bear-type Pet Beasts in the Cangyuan Secret Realm, but there are indeed Dragon-type Pet Beasts in the Cangyuan Secret Realm; it might just be its parents."
Just as Du Chuan signaled to Mo Yu with his eyes to relax, he turned around and went to find Wang Long to bring up this matter, wanting to take precautions early.
