Chapter 29: Battle Intent Armor
""With such a pet beast, there is a chance to break the bloodline shackles of the Species Level."
"It is said that in ancient times, Emperor Liam allowed his pet beast to stay in the Awakening period for forty years, during which time he was ridiculed by the world."
"And then, Emperor Liam's pet beast advanced to the Extraordinary level with more than a hundred skills, and more than twenty of them reached the Perfect or even higher levels."
"Overnight, the low-level Monarch species Dark Scaled Python's blood returned to its ancestry, directly evolving into the high-level Overlord Mysterious Patterned True Dragon, and ultimately becoming a Mythical Beast Tamer."
Zoey Green talked a lot before finally making a conclusion.
"I'm not saying you should stay in the Awakening period forever, just reminding you, sharpening your knife does not delay the work of chopping wood."
Seeing the students listening carefully and not showing impatience, Zoey Green was in a good mood.
"Next, I will teach two Low Grade skills, one is [Claw Strike], and the other is [Rapid Movement]."
"These two skills, one is an attack skill, and the other is a displacement skill, both of which are very important in battle."
"Attack skills can increase your attack power several times, achieving the effect of one decisive blow."
"Displacement skills, on the other hand, can give you an innate advantage and an undefeated position. In the morning, Vincent's Slime can be said to have defeated the opponent's pet beast using [Rapid Movement] throughout the whole process."
"Students who have already learned can use the auxiliary platform to improve their proficiency. Students with similar skills can practice on their own and do not need to learn new ones; it is better not to bite off more than you can chew."
"Remember, do not underestimate Low Grade skills. If the proficiency of Low Grade skills is high enough, they will not be weaker than less proficient skills of Intermediate and High Levels."
"And if the Low Grade skill proficiency is high, it also adds a bonus to the comprehension of higher-level skills."
Vincent looked at Barry.
"One is [Claw Strike], and the other is [Rapid Movement]."
"[Rapid Movement] has already reached the Perfect level of proficiency, so even if it can't increase in the simulation, let alone in reality where the Slime is clumsy."
"As for [Claw Strike]..."
Barry's round body swayed left and right, making it clear that it was trying to perform a Claw Attack, but if you didn't know, you would have thought it was having a fit.
Barry: !!!∑(?Д?ノ)ノ
Barry: Where are my claws?!
"Okay, you're a big round ball, where do your claws come from to perform [Claw Strike]?"
Barry: Oh, I didn't know I didn't have claws.
Professor Zoey Green had already summoned the Exploding Great Ape and asked it to teach the class's pet beasts skills, while she stood aside with her phone, totally engrossed in something.
"Teacher." Vincent walked over to Zoey Green and spoke to her.
Zoey Green shuddered and quickly locked the screen of her phone, looking panicked.
"Speak." She turned around, looked at Vincent, and there was a hint of displeasure in her eyes.
"I wanted to ask you if I can't learn [Claw Strike] and [Rapid Movement], can I learn some other skill?" Vincent grinned.
"That's not what I asked you to say."
"Then, what was it?"
"How you are going to die!"
Yikes!!!
Alarmed, Vincent immediately swore: "I didn't see anything just now! If I lie, let Barry be struck by lightning!"
Barry: ???
Barry: I'm used to it, let's call it a day. I'm tired.
Zoey Green saw that he didn't seem to be lying and her expression calmed down.
"Speak, you don't want to learn this or that, what do you want to learn?"
"I want to learn longevity!" Vincent joked.
"What?" Zoey Green thought she had misheard.
"I misspoke, I meant to say I want to learn a defensive skill. My Barry has very low defense, and without a defensive skill, he might not be able to withstand a single blow from other pet beasts."
Zoey Green thought for a moment and said, "Your Slime is part of the Water System, and the defensive skills my Exploding Great Ape teaches are part of the Fire System, so I can't teach you."
"Then, let it be." Vincent was very disappointed.
In that case, to learn defensive skills, he would have to spend a lot of money at specialized skill training institutions or martial arts halls, or buy courses online.
But learning online is too inefficient, and going to skill training institutions or martial arts halls costs a lot of money and requires extra time.
"I said my Exploding Great Ape can't teach, but that doesn't mean my other pet beasts can't."
Upon hearing this, Vincent became excited.
Right.
A Master-level Beast Master can contract with three pet beasts, so she still has two pet beasts.
"My first pet beast is also a Water Attribute, and it has a Low Grade skill [Water Flow Armor]."
"[Water Flow Armor] can condense water energy around the body into a shield, providing excellent protection and even unloading forces."
After finishing Speaking, Professor Zoey Green released her pet beast.
A flash of white light, a giant lobster over a meter tall appeared in the summoning formation, its entire body covered in sturdy shells, and a pair of strong and powerful claws that looked very intimidating.
"This is...a Fighting Shrimp!"
When Vincent was surprised, the Fighting Shrimp was quite a powerful high-level Extraordinary Species, even able to fight against some weaker low-level Commander Species.
What surprised him even more was that the Fighting Shrimp's evolutionary form was the Low-level Commander Giant Claw Shrimp, which was responsible for ending his run in the Simulation yesterday.
"Teacher, why are all the pet beasts you contract fighters? Is the last one like this too?"
Fighting Shrimp has a very irritable temper and would sometimes attack you if you just glance at it. Its personality is even more aggressive than the Exploding Great Ape.
"I haven't chosen a contract target yet! I only have these two right now." Zoey Green gave him a glance, "Because of my Beast-controlling Talent, both of these pet beasts are quite compatible with me."
"What kind of talent is it?"
"[Battle Intent Armor], can turn mine and my pet beast's battle intent into armor, giving the armor different levels of defense depending on the strength of the battle intent. According to the records, at the peak of battle intent, the armor can even condense wings, giving it the ability to fly!"
"Wow, that's so amazing, it can even fly!" Vincent expressed his admiration.
Seeing this, Professor Zoey Green was even more pleased.
"But teacher, why hasn't your Fighting Shrimp evolved? Don't you want it to evolve?"
Zoey Green glared at him, her good mood instantly dissipating and her body sagging.
"If you can't speak, don't!"
"Who doesn't want their pet beast to evolve?!"
"It's just that I can't help it!"
"Who's at fault that Fighting Shrimp's evolutionary resources are so hard to get!"
"I have the money ready, I checked with the Auction House, the Beast Tamer Association, and even the black market. I even added money several times! But I just couldn't find it!"
"It's that hard to find? So, what is the resource?" Vincent asked curiously.
"It's a Level 2 resource, a low-ranking Commander level, but it's Water Tendon, quite rare." Zoey Green said casually.
Vincent looked at his wrist, and the corner of his eyes twitched involuntarily.
"How coincidental? I have it right here?"
