ALL NOVEL Chapter 17
Zhou Cang looked at the attribute panel of the Black Dragon Turtle and fell into deep thought.
The reason why he was able to defeat the Vermillion Bird this time was all thanks to the two skills [Devouring] and [Absolute Zero]. Looking at the small body of the Black Dragon Turtle in the beast control space, Zhou Cang couldn't help but worry.
The defense of the Black Dragon Turtle in the later stage is indeed extremely terrifying, but in the early stage... it may not be able to withstand the beating.
The reason why I was able to pass the level so quickly in the ancient ruins today was all due to the suppression of [Chain Water Cannon]. Now it seems necessary to improve the defense of the Black Dragon Turtle.
Among the talents and skills of the Black Dragon Turtle, only the [Black Armor] talent provides defense.
Zhou Cang's expected spiritual beast development strategy is to improve comprehensively, whether it is defense, attack, or control skills, all must be developed comprehensively, so as to cope with unknown combat environments and fierce beasts.
Thinking of this, Zhou Cang directly invested 500 reinforcement points and upgraded the talent [Black Armor] to level 5.
"Ding! Talent [Xuan Jia] is upgraded to LV5."
"Do you want to continue strengthening (0/250)?"
[Xuan Jia]: Increases defense by 50%, and has a certain chance to rebound the same amount of damage caused to the attacker.
...
Zhou Cang was completely stunned. Is this... so scary?
Isn't this the anti-armor in the King of Pesticides? No, it's even more perverted than the anti-armor!
Why increase the attack power? If all the enhancement points are used to enhance [Xuan Jia], who can beat it? Just stand there and get beaten! The more attackers there are, the higher the trigger probability, and the more terrifying the damage caused!
Come again! Zhou Cang didn't say anything and directly smashed in 1750 enhancement points to upgrade [Xuan Jia] to level 10!
"Ding! Talent [Xuan Jia] is upgraded to LV10."
"Do you want to continue strengthening (0/500)?"
[Xuan Jia]: Increases defense by 100%, and has a certain chance to rebound the same amount of damage caused to the attacker.
...
One thousand seven hundred and fifty enhancement points is definitely a big deal, but the return is also very considerable. Although I don't know the specific defense of other spirit beasts of the same level, there is definitely no one that can break the defense of the black dragon turtle!
Now that I have the defense, I will continue to improve the attack power to maximize the cost-effectiveness!
Spending 875 enhancement points, Zhou Cang upgraded [Water Element Summoning] and [Chain Water Cannon] to level 20 in one go.
After some operations, Zhou Cang's reputation enhancement value was also spent by half, leaving only 1760 enhancement points.
Clicking on the attribute panel of the black dragon turtle again, it has been greatly improved compared to before.
[Black Dragon Turtle]
[Level: 16 (479/2000)]
[Rank: Diamond]
[Bloodline: Black Tortoise]
[Talent: 1. Black Armor LV10 (0/500) +]
[Talent: 2. Water Element Control LV1 (0/50) +]
[Talent: 3. Dragon Power LV1 (0/50) +]
[Skill: 1. Water Element Summoning LV20 (0/20) +]
[Skill: 2. Serial Water Cannon LV20 (0/200) +]
[Skill: 3. Devouring LV10 (0/100) +]
[Skill: 4. Absolute Zero LV4 (0/250) +]
The current Black Dragon Turtle can definitely be said to be both offensive and defensive. While possessing terrifying offensive power, it also has extremely amazing defensive power.
Zhou Cang decided to keep the remaining enhancement value, in case the beastmaster comprehends new skills?
That's right, beast control can also learn new talents and skills through continuous learning in the later stage, or in battle, but this process is very long.
Through systematic learning, spirit beasts can apply the knowledge they have learned to battle, and new skills can be activated under certain conditions.
In addition, there is a faster way to learn, which is to devour the beast core of spirit beasts.
The energy contained in the beast core of spirit beasts is extremely terrifying. Some high-level spirit beasts still have the skills of fierce beasts in their lifetime. This method can be described as "transplantation", but the success rate of transplantation is extremely low, and the price of a high-level beast core is extremely high.
Even if the transplantation is successful, the adaptability may not be very high. The lower the adaptability, the lower the power of the transplanted skills.
For example, giving the black dragon turtle a skill that can spit fire, isn't this a joke? Even if the black dragon turtle really learns it, the flames it spews out can only light a cigarette.
"Oh my goodness... You are a money-eating beast. You have squandered tens of millions of spiritual stones in just a short time." Zhou Cang touched the head of the black dragon turtle and said in a low voice.
"Woo woo..." The black dragon turtle shook its head, pushed Zhou Cang's hand away, and continued to eat the dried fish.
Zhou Cang now understoodIt's clear why those big families with strong foundations dare not rashly sign contracts with spirit beasts with special bloodlines.
It's not that they can't afford spirit beasts with special bloodlines, but they can't hold the resources needed to upgrade spirit beasts in the later stage.
In just a short while, tens of millions of spirit stones have been spent. Which big family can afford such expenses? Sooner or later, they will go bankrupt.
"I don't feel bad about spending materials, but I don't know how much your strength has improved." Zhou Cang picked up the Black Dragon Turtle again and asked with a smile.
The Black Dragon Turtle snorted coldly and pointed directly at Zhou Cang's chest.
"You want to enter the beast control space?" Zhou Cang asked back.
"Woo... Awoo!" The Black Dragon Turtle howled and shook its little head to look around.
Be careful or I'll tear down your house!
Zhou Cang sensed the intention of the Black Dragon Turtle and was speechless for a while, but he still obediently put the Black Dragon Turtle into the Beast Taming Space.
Although it is still in the growth stage, the damage caused by the Black Dragon Turtle is enough to destroy the house. Zhou Cang does not want to be homeless.
In the Beast Taming Space, the Black Dragon Turtle directly activated all its skills and talents.
What surprised Zhou Cang the most was that after the Black Dragon Turtle upgraded its [Black Armor] talent, it could actually enlarge its own volume dozens of times during the battle!
The Black Dragon Turtle, which was originally only the size of a washbasin, suddenly grew to nearly five meters in height, and its length was more than ten meters! It is definitely a behemoth.
After the [Chain Water Cannon] was upgraded to level 20, its power was visibly enhanced several times. The water cannon sprayed out hit the Beast Taming Space like a cannonball, splashing water all over the sky.
Especially after opening [Absolute Zero], the entire Beast Taming Space seemed to be frozen, and the air could not circulate.
Not only that, after opening the [Black Armor], the Black Dragon Turtle's size increased dramatically, but its flexibility was not affected at all, and even increased!
"Awoo..." The Black Dragon Turtle blinked with some pride, and then its body slowly shrank back to its previous state.
Although its body returned to the size of a washbasin, the Black Dragon Turtle's aura did not decrease at all, but began to slowly rise.
Diamond level 7...
Diamond level 8...
Diamond level 9...
...
The Black Dragon Turtle's aura finally stagnated at the Diamond level 10, but it still kept its eyes closed, as if it was still absorbing spiritual energy and adapting to its strengthened body.
