Beast Taming: Slaughter Atlas

From the moment Lei Yao prepared to consume the Domain Fruit, Chu Chen had begun researching materials about domains.

Domains can be divided into Domain Prototype, Elementary Domain, Intermediate Domain, and Advanced Domain, followed by even higher levels like domain transformation, which is something Chu Chen could not aspire to.

Lei Yao's current domain barely reached the Elementary Domain level, the hallmark of which is the domain's radius reaching ten zhang, and integrating Elemental Power within the domain.

The Intermediate Domain is characterized by a radius of fifty zhang.

The Advanced Domain is marked by a radius of one hundred zhang.

The prerequisite for expanding the domain's area is the realm, as star power is needed to sustain the domain's release.

The second criterion is mastery over Elemental Power.

Because Lei Yao had upgraded all his skills to the Perfection Level, coupled with the effects of the Domain Fruit, he could skip the Domain Prototype and directly possess an Elementary Domain.

What surprised Chu Chen the most was that Lei Yao had even developed Beast Type; the Beast Type power integrated into the domain, endowing it with gravitational characteristics.

Chu Chen waved his hand to summon Nirvana.

"Go in and test the domain's power," Chu Chen smiled as he patted Nirvana's head and said.

Upon hearing this, Nirvana didn't hesitate a bit and walked into the domain on its short little legs.

As soon as it entered the domain, Nirvana's body came to a sudden halt, and its movement speed decreased by fifty percent. Meanwhile, Thunder Serpents were swiftly rushing to attack Nirvana.

Under the influence of gravity, Nirvana couldn't evade the attacks of those Thunder Serpents.

Apart from possessing notable destructive power, Thunder Serpents also have paralyzing properties. When struck by the Thunder Serpent, Nirvana immediately fell into paralysis, with more Thunder Serpents continuously converging towards it, meaning it would remain pinned in place, unable to move. Its life and death were under Lei Yao's control.

Witnessing this, Chu Chen shows astonishment; the domain's power was too terrifying, even Nirvana's vigorous life force couldn't counter Lei Yao who possessed the domain.

The combat power of the two wasn't on the same level at all.

After testing the domain's strength, Chu Chen withdrew the two beasts and headed to the Beastmaster Association.

The journey for this exchange competition might take quite some time; he planned to purchase some cultivation resources and daily supplies.

Two hours later, Chu Chen emerged from the Beastmaster Association, holding a bank card with a wry smile on his face.

At this moment, his bank card had only fifty-three thousand left; if asked where he spent the money, one could look into the near-death state of the Legendary Beast Egg.

A month had passed, the first batch of purchased Vitality Liquid had nearly been consumed, and with this extended absence, he had to purchase another batch, costing fourteen hundred thousand again, the speed of burning money was simply unbeatable.

He once thought he wouldn't have to work like an ox or horse in this life, but didn't expect having the physique of an ox or horse to be so dreadful, as nothing changed even after coming to this world.

After the exchange competition ends, Chu Chen would need to think of ways to make money, as he wouldn't easily give up on the Forbidden Celestial Dragon.

In this Daoist School exchange competition, Chu Chen didn't conceal anything and informed his parents about it in full detail.

When Father Chu and Mrs. Chu learned their son was going on a distant journey again, they felt deeply reluctant, but they understood it concerned their son's future and could not be opposed in any way.

All they could do was to prepare a sumptuous farewell feast to the best of their ability.

Before the meal, Chu Chen summoned Shadow Kill, letting it have a good gathering with Shadow Golden Mantis, as they would soon be apart for a while.

Early the next day, Chu Chen got up and headed to the Daoist School to gather.

Lu Hongfei was already waiting downstairs, and soon Zhang Yuyan arrived as well, leaving one person still missing.

"Director, who is the last person chosen?" Chu Chen asked in a low voice.

Upon hearing, Lu Hongfei smiled and said, "It's temporarily a secret."

Chu Chen couldn't help but be taken aback by this, but his curiosity was successfully piqued.

A few minutes later, a familiar figure appeared before them.

Seeing the newcomer, Chu Chen was immediately surprised.

"What do you think; surprised or not?"

"So it's you, kid! You really kept me in the dark," Chu Chen said with a smile.

The newcomer was none other than Chu Chen's bosom buddy, Wang Lu.

"Tell me what's going on," Chu Chen asked in a low voice.

Instead of answering, Wang Lu quickly stepped in front of Lu Hongfei and respectfully saluted, "Disciple, greetings Teacher."

Hearing this, Chu Chen was shocked once again. With Wang Lu's talent, it was unimaginable that Lu Hongfei would take him as a disciple.

Apparently, Lu Hongfei noticed Chu Chen's confusion, and he smiled and explained, "Although Wang Lu's cultivation talent is mediocre, he works diligently, and I see potential in him."

Upon hearing this, Chu Chen showed an expression of realization.

Actually, Lu Hongfei wanted to accept Chu Chen as his disciple more, but this guy was too talented, and within a few years would surpass him, not to mention that Chu Chen wouldn't agree.

This trip to Black Mist City made him realize his own weakness, accepting Chu Chen as a disciple would be misleading.

Chu Chen patted Wang Lu's shoulder and said, "You're doing well, Director Lu is a Monarch Level expert, so you must train well with him."

Upon hearing, Wang Lu replied with a smile, "Of course, I will strive hard in cultivation and won't let Teacher down."

Hearing this, Lu Hongfei felt relieved, thinking that his efforts had not been in vain.

"What realm are you at now?" Chu Chen asked with a smile.

Wang Lu immediately showed a look of pride, patting Chu Chen's shoulder, smiling as he replied, "Guess."

Chu Chen pondered for a moment before saying, "Fifth Rank War General Level?"

Wang Lu glared at Chu Chen with a displeased expression and said, "You're underestimating me," after which he displayed his aura entirely.

Feeling his aura, Chu Chen showed a shocked expression.

"Peak of War General Level! Well done, kid! Didn't expect you to cultivate so quickly," Chu Chen couldn't help but exclaim.

Surely, Lu Hongfei must have invested a lot of resources into him, and Father Lu's financial resources were also considerable, seemingly, more resources were invested on his side.

Apart from resources, Wang Lu's diligence was also essential.

"What realm are you at?" Wang Lu asked proudly.

In Wang Lu's view, Chu Chen's talent was inferior to him; though his combat power was strong, his realm wouldn't be higher.

Chu Chen smiled and said, "Are you sure you want to know?"

Seeing this, Wang Lu frowned slightly, pondered for a moment before asking reluctantly, "Of course, don't try to fool me."

Chu Chen smiled and said, "Don't regret it then," and revealed his aura.

"Second Rank Commander Level! How is this possible? How did you cultivate so quickly?" Wang Lu said in shock.

"I told you not to regret it." Chu Chen patted Wang Lu's shoulder and said with a smile.

Not only Wang Lu, but Lu Hongfei and Zhang Yuyan were also shocked.

The incident where Dong Hanyang gifted Chu Chen the Star-Raising Fruit was unknown to them; at that time, they were all focused on that invitation.

Now witnessing Chu Chen's realm made them incredibly surprised.
