Beast Taming: the More the Better

Chapter 1378: Chapter 565: Holy Spirit Peak, Prairie Fire Phoenix!

The skill upgrade didn’t involve any flashy gimmicks.

As a Special Skill acknowledged and recognized by the Myriad Spirit Beast Atlas, the second stage of breeding for the Nanming Li Fire naturally went without a hitch. Therefore, after this ray of light appeared, Su Ping immediately felt the change, because closely following it, a similar fleeting shift of light appeared once again on Little Flame’s body.

Undoubtedly, alongside the upgrade of this Fire Seed Skill, Little Flame’s realm and strength had also improved. Even if it was just by one level, this was already enough to cross the threshold of Monarch Level Middle Rank, reaching the Monarch Level High Rank—namely, the strength of Monarch Level Seventh Rank.

Among Su Ping’s Pet Beasts, such an increase in strength couldn’t exactly be considered rapid, but an unexpected pleasant surprise was always far better than nothing.

With this thought, Su Ping looked at Little Flame, who was burning madly within the flames. His Spirit Vision Eye quickly locked onto the greatest change:

[Super·Fire Seed (Special) (Proficiency): The Fire Seed formed within a Fire Type Pet Beast’s body after its flame transcends Elemental Energy, signifying unparalleled special potential! It is also the absolute prerequisite for becoming the Supreme of Fire—bar none.

Ignition: Each Pet Beast’s future improvement capabilities, resource usage, combat style, and so on will determine the ignition method, Flame Attribute, and Flame Ability of their Fire Seed. At the same time, every time the Fire Seed improves, the skill level will increase. Upon reaching Perfection, it will enter the next stage.

(Current Flame: Extreme High Temperature)

Fire Seed: Currently in the basic Fire Seed form. The flame possesses constancy. Using attack-type skills will not consume the Pet Beast’s own energy. Flame Energy can be used for cyclic attacks and can be reabsorbed by the Pet Beast itself, though this requires a certain "cooling" and "reloading" time.]

It seemed like there weren’t any changes at all. The only difference was that the previous high temperature had turned into Extreme High Temperature. However, in a sense, this wasn’t a bad thing.

Judging from Su Ping’s numerous breeding sessions and the completions provided by the Myriad Spirit Beast Atlas, this Nanming Li Fire should be pure, extreme flame heat. Compared to Little Crow Yaya’s Day and Night Fire, it felt entirely different.

Fire, when pushed to the extreme of temperature, was sufficient to incinerate all things in the world. It didn’t need anything else to overcompensate. With the Vermilion Bird as the Supreme of Fire, the might of the Nanming Li Fire naturally went without saying.

Based on the observations of the Eye of Truth, there didn’t seem to be any specifically noticeable changes. However, Little Flame seemed to understand Su Ping’s thoughts. The little guy’s increasingly fiery red flames slowly rose, spreading for dozens of meters and even flowing down into the seabed. Then, something Su Ping hadn’t anticipated happened.

SIZZLE!

The endless white vapor seemed to be evaporated by the heat, instantly burning away completely. Even the vast seawater above them seemed to be vaporized into nothingness as a result.

What kind of terrifying temperature was this? Just upgrading a single skill level yielded such power?

At this moment, not just Su Ping, but even Jiao Ji beside him narrowed her eyes slightly. A hint of disgust flashed through those azure-blue pupils.

Fire and water did not mix! This was a timeless truth!

Even though her stance and interests had forced Jiao Ji to join hands with Su Ping and the Dragon Nation, her aversion to flames was instinctual and impossible to erase.

However, as an intelligent being, she couldn’t be completely controlled by her instincts. Very quickly, Jiao Ji revealed a smile and said, "As expected of a Flame Venerable Avatar. Such a formidable flame is already unheard of at the Monarch Level!

"Su Ping, in your hands, could this Flame Venerable Avatar directly surpass the Flame Venerable’s peak in the future?"

Obviously, there was a hint of teasing in her words.

What realm of strength was the Flame Venerable at? Legendary Level Peak! If it were to take another step forward, what realm of strength would that be? The Mythical Level!

In this era, even the Water Venerable—its actual main body—clearly didn’t have absolute certainty in advancing to the Mythical Level. This was the Mythical Level! A stage that had suffered an almost complete generational gap in the Dragon Nation’s history! How could it possibly be so easily achieved?

Not to mention, looking at its current state, Little Flame’s true body—the Flame Venerable—had obviously suffered far more catastrophic injuries than the Water Venerable had back then. It couldn’t even form a sense of self, and its Origin of consciousness had scattered into thousands of fragments. Under such circumstances, let alone advancing to the Mythical Level, even recovering to the peak strength of the Legendary Level would likely be exceedingly difficult.

However, upon hearing these joking words, Su Ping thought for a moment and then nodded. "It shouldn’t be a problem. I will do my utmost!"

Clearly, upon seeing Su Ping’s earnest expression, Jiao Ji was slightly taken aback.

She didn’t quite understand where Su Ping’s confidence came from. Even though the sheer number of miracles created by this young man from the Dragon Nation no longer needed any elaboration from outsiders, the Mythical Level remained incredibly distant.

Jiao Ji blinked. She suddenly felt that this young man before her might truly become an incredibly, incredibly remarkable existence. If possible, even with her Legendary Level strength, Jiao Ji couldn’t help but feel an involuntary pull to draw closer to him.
