2: Chapter 2 The Cat and the Silver Wing~
Perhaps due to his Transmigration, Yue Yun's Beast Taming Talent had undergone some slight changes, increasing from one to two.
E-rank Beast Taming Talent [Life Manifestation].
Just as Yue Yun demonstrated, it manifested his health points in the form of a health bar, reflecting his current status in real-time.
This didn't seem to have much use.
However, what this talent brought was the quantification of life, granting immunity to various substantive injuries, including but not limited to fatal wounds.
"This is the first time I've seen such a talent."
Yue Shu pondered for a moment before saying, "It doesn't sound strong."
Human life is too fragile, and quantifying health points would only yield a pitiful amount, unable to withstand attacks for long.
Yue Yun grinned, "That's true, but I'm different!"
Compared to others, this talent isn't strong.
But [Blood-Qi Sharing] grants Yue Yun vigorous vitality, and [Life Manifestation] makes his life tenacious.
This combination is a perfect match!
As long as his health bar hasn't hit zero, Yue Yun won't die!
In other words, Yue Yun will no longer be a weakness for his Pet Beast.
"But the Pet Beast will instead become your weakness."
Yue Shu frowned, accurately pointing out the flaw in Yue Yun's logic.
In her view, this was equivalent to Yue Yun holding a lit bomb and telling himself there was a fifty percent chance it wouldn't explode.
Heavens, I can't keep this brother anymore!
Yue Yun was very unwilling to give up and pulled Yue Shu aside to argue his case.
"Sis, you're a Four-Star Beast Tamer, you must know what it takes to become a Beast Tamer and what one has to face.
This path is never smooth sailing; if I stop because of fear, I'll never be content for the rest of my life.
Sis, let me try!"
Come on, this is true transcendent power!
In this world, becoming a Beast Tamer is everyone's wish; it symbolizes power that can be seen and touched.
Yue Yun yearned for this power.
No matter what the road ahead holds, he wants to become a Beast Tamer.
Yue Shu remained silent, quite moved by his words.
After a long while, Yue Shu nodded helplessly, "Fine, since you want to try, then go ahead and try! But don't blame me for not warning you; given your conditions, you might not be able to contract a Pet Beast."
Possessing a Beast Taming Talent only means there is hope of becoming a Beast Tamer; it doesn't mean one can actually become one—only by forming a contract with a Pet Beast does it count.
Yue Yun's original Beast Taming Talent was like carrying a bomb at all times; almost no Pet Beast was willing to form a contract with him.
Otherwise, Yue Shu could have easily obtained an A-potential rated Pet Beast to help Yue Yun get a head start and become a Beast Tamer.
Now that he had a brand new Beast Taming Talent, the situation wouldn't improve much; most Pet Beasts would still avoid him.
Yue Yun felt a chill in his heart upon hearing this.
He had finally managed to Transmigrate and went to great lengths to convince his sister, so what was the point if he couldn't contract a Pet Beast?
As expected, the greater the hope, the greater the disappointment!
Yue Shu sighed imperceptibly.
She raised her pale, delicate hand and gently patted the head of Yue Yun, who was a head taller than her, just like when they were children.
The cat enjoying a massage on the Storm Dragon's claw lifted its head.
It was a fat orange cat, its bright orange fur covered with orange-yellow stripes, and the fur at the ends of its four limbs looked like white gloves.
It was the cat Yue Yun raised, named Miao Sang.
Miao Sang jumped off the Dragon claw without hesitation, wiggling its plump body, and walked straight toward Yue Yun with a cat-like strut.
"Meow~"
A soft meow echoed through the room.
Miao Sang rubbed against Yue Yun's lower leg, staring at him with a pair of lively eyes, its brownish-yellow cat pupils filled with determination.
Yue Yun looked at Miao Sang and amusedly rubbed its head, "What, are you starting to comfort me too?"
"Purr, purr~"
Miao Sang thoroughly enjoyed Yue Yun's petting.
Yue Shu noticed something and suddenly clapped her hands.
Her eyes lit up, "Little brother, Miao Sang might be willing to be your Pet Beast; it's an Earth Spirit Cat and can be contracted!"
Miao Sang turned to Yue Shu and nodded in agreement.
Yue Yun widened his eyes, looking at Miao Sang excitedly.
This cat is a silver wing!
He knelt on one knee and spoke solemnly, "Miao Sang, are you willing to form a contract with me and become my Pet Beast?"
The method for contracting a Pet Beast is known to everyone.
Yue Yun mobilized his Beast Taming Talent as taught online, and a grayish-white glimmer appeared, weaving into a Pet Beast contract in his palm.
Miao Sang showed no fear, leaning forward to press its head against Yue Yun's palm, and the grayish-white Pet Beast contract merged into its body.
Without any obstacles, the contract was successfully formed.
A new connection emerged between Yue Yun and Miao Sang.
A virtual panel suddenly appeared.
[Name: Earth Spirit Cat]
[Species: Feline, Rock]
[Talent: Rock Eating (Consumes rocks to restore status)]
[Skills: Rock Spike (Uses Rock Spike to attack enemies)]
[Potential: E]
The Pet Beast panel is a rule of this world; everyone can see the panel of their own contracted Pet Beasts.
Miao Sang's potential left Yue Yun slightly stunned.
A Pet Beast's potential largely determines its future height, and no one would ever contract a Pet Beast with E-rank potential.
However, Yue Yun was still extremely excited.
Him with an E-rank Beast Taming Talent plus Miao Sang with E-rank potential.
Looking at all the heroes in the world, who wouldn't call it trash?
He picked up Miao Sang and held it high, "Miao Sang, with us joining forces, there will be no enemy under the heavens who can withstand a single blow from us!"
"Meow~"
Miao Sang responded to him with a lack of confidence.
Yue Shu kept staring at the health bar above Yue Yun's head.
With the formation of the contract, the health bar above Yue Yun's head suddenly grew to a length of two meters and became much thicker.
Why does it feel like my little brother is becoming more and more like a BOSS?
Yue Shu couldn't help but think, then shook her head with a guilty conscience.
She turned and said, "Don't be too happy yet; although you have already contracted a Pet Beast, Miao Sang is, after all, not a Pet Beast that excels in combat."
"Miao Sang might not be good at fighting, but I also know a thing or two about martial arts!"
Yue Yun said confidently, full of ambition.
He had indeed considered that Miao Sang wasn't good at combat.
But he possessed the two talents [Blood-Qi Sharing] and [Life Manifestation], which could fully handle the duties of combat.
Miao Sang just needed to stack health and provide support from the back.
"Have you ever heard of the Eight-Nine Arcane Arts, the Divine Ability of Combat?"
Yue Yun grinned, his dark eyes seemingly filled with a galaxy of stars.
Yue Shu's sharp comment: "Crazy."
However, seeing Yue Yun's excitement, Yue Shu was also sincerely happy that her little brother had realized his wish.
Her tone suddenly shifted, and she said seriously.
"Remember, you must use your left hand's [Life Manifestation] to protect your right hand's [Blood-Qi Sharing], always!"
"You really are something else."
Yue Yun couldn't help but roll his eyes at his sister.
