Beast Taming: Slaughter Atlas

Chu Chen stared with wide eyes and said incredulously, "Immortal Level, are you sure you're not joking?"

Dong Hanyang heard and smiled, "Of course not."

"How is this possible, once I appraise an Immortal Level Beast Taming Egg, all the major powers will target it. Bringing it back is simply impossible."

Dong Hanyang waved his hand and said, "Don't rush, listen to me slowly. After the year-end, it's the exchange competition for various Daoist Schools. I believe with your strength, you'll have a chance to compete in major cities, and I will go with you. How about we act together when the time comes?"

Chu Chen did not immediately agree but said in a deep voice, "The risk is too great, let me think it over."

Dong Hanyang immediately smiled and said, "Kid, don't be so greedy. I've even brought out an Epic Quality Beast Taming Egg, what more do you want?"

Chu Chen replied with a smile, "Elder Dong, I have the Eye of Insight, so Epic Quality Beast Taming Eggs aren't rare for me."

Dong Hanyang squinted his eyes and asked in a deep voice, "What do you want?"

Chu Chen tapped his fingers and fell into deep thought. As the lord of a city, Dong Hanyang surely had significant wealth, which means an Immortal Level Beast Taming Egg couldn't just be bought with money, highlighting its preciousness.

What should I ask for in exchange for such a priceless item?

As Chu Chen was pondering, Dong Hanyang gritted his teeth and said, "I have a Profound Rank Upper Grade Domain Fruit here. If you agree, I'll settle this matter for you, and I'll give you not just the Epic Level Upper Grade Beast Taming Egg but also this fruit. How about that?"

Chu Chen asked somewhat puzzled, "What is the effect of the Domain Fruit?"

Dong Hanyang answered with some heartache, "This fruit allows a Guardian Beast to have a domain in advance."

Chu Chen's shock was evident upon hearing this.

"How is this possible? As far as I know, only a few Guardian Beasts at Lord Level can have a Domain Prototype, and only some at King Level can master a complete domain."

Dong Hanyang showed a hint of embarrassment, not expecting Chu Chen to know about domains.

"Its effect isn't as exaggerated as you think. After consuming the Domain Fruit, it can improve the Guardian Beast's mastery over its own power. If its mastery is strong enough, it may understand a Domain Prototype, weakening opponents in battle," Dong Hanyang explained in a deep voice.

Chu Chen nodded thoughtfully and said, "Elder Dong, is there a way to quickly improve mastery of power?"

"It's both difficult and easy, but first, you must understand what comprises the Guardian Beast's power."

Without hesitation, Chu Chen immediately said, "Guardian Beast's power is divided into two parts: physical strength and Elemental Power."

Dong Hanyang nodded, "Indeed, do you know why Guardian Beasts at King Level no longer rely on skills?"

Chu Chen nodded, "Their mastery of their own power reaches an extremely high level, and just a movement unleashes terrifying power."

"Actually, their ability to master power evolves from skills, which is why they stop relying on skills upon reaching King Level."

"You mean if the Guardian Beast's skills are leveled up when it consumes the Domain Fruit, it has a chance to understand the domain?"

Dong Hanyang nodded, "Theoretically yes, but understanding domain depends on the number of Perfection Level skills."

Chu Chen nodded calmly, but inside he was awash with turmoil.

With the Slaughter Atlas at hand and about twenty-two thousand Slaughter Points, it's enough to raise all of Lei Yao's skills to Perfection Realm. Therefore, consuming the Domain Fruit will undoubtedly increase the chances of domain understanding.

After some thought, Chu Chen smiled and said, "I agree, but I have one small request."

Dong Hanyang frowned slightly and then asked solemnly, "What's your request?"

Chu Chen quietly said, "I need some Star-Raising Fruit, three each for First Rank, Second Grade, and Third Grade, and as many Fourth Grade as possible."

Dong Hanyang replied somewhat irritably, "Do you think Star-Raising Fruit is like cabbages? First and Second Grade are fine, but there are only two Third Grade, and at most one Fourth Grade."

Seeing the situation, Chu Chen quickly said, "Thank you, Elder Dong. Now, could you share your plans with me in advance?"

Elder Dong's expression softened, he took a sip of tea, and said, "The Alliance has a super city, Qilin City. The four large cities are Cyan Dragon City, White Tiger City, Vermilion Bird City, and Black Tortoise City, situated in east, west, south, and north respectively. Each year, the high school Daoist School exchange competitions are held in turns at the four cities, followed by the Alliance's Beast Taming Egg Betting Contest, both held in Cyan Dragon City."

Chu Chen asked solemnly, "Are you saying that an Immortal Quality Beast Taming Egg will appear in the betting contest?"

Dong Hanyang smiled, "It will appear in the finals. Just choosing it ensures the championship."

Chu Chen was slightly stunned; this was a path to fame. But Dong Hanyang offered too much, especially the Domain Fruit, which he couldn't refuse.

Then Dong Hanyang suddenly stood, took out a wooden box from his Spatial Ring, and presented it to Chu Chen.

Upon receiving the box, Chu Chen showed noticeable shock. The box was the size of a volleyball, deep red in color, with intricate Guardian Beast patterns engraved on each side, appearing as a fine work of art and emitting a fragrant aroma.

"Is this Blood-scented Wood?" Chu Chen asked uncertainly.

"Indeed, you have good sense, go ahead and open it."

Confirmed, Chu Chen revealed joy. A piece of Blood-scented Wood of this size is worth at least a million Alliance Coins, and its value increases when crafted into a box.

Carefully opening the box, Chu Chen inhaled the rich and sweet scent and quickly looked inside to find a white fruit the size of a baby's fist.

Just inhaling a bit of the fruit's fragrance, Chu Chen felt a surge of pure Star Power within.

Seeing this, Chu Chen quickly closed the box to prevent the medicinal effects from dissipating.

Dong Hanyang, a bit pained, advised, "This Domain Fruit is extremely precious, don't rush to use it. It's best to let your Guardian Beast train hard for a while, and after its skill levels are increased, it wouldn't be too late to use it."

"I understand, thank you for the advice."

"I'll have them send the Star-Raising Fruit to you shortly, and outwardly, I'll claim to have taken you as a disciple. That way, no one in Black Mist City will dare to bother you," Dong Hanyang said with a smile.
