Skill [Borrow]

"Skill function?"

The two of them looked at each other and saw the astonishment in each other's eyes.

Compared to the confusion in Zhou Dan's eyes, Li Song's eyes revealed a hint of ecstasy.

It had finally appeared!

The [Skill] System!

After gesturing to Zhou Dan, Li Song returned to his room and summoned Bull Two.

At this moment, Bull Two's body was also undergoing some changes. It was as if it was enduring a tremendous amount of pain. Its body was hunchbacked, as if it was difficult for it to straighten its back. It was trembling slightly, accompanied by sounds of indescribable muscles swelling and tearing.

However, Bull Two did not utter a single word. It silently endured this kind of tremendous pain. Its hands were tightly clenched, emitting a few crisp sounds from its bones.

There was a hurdle whenever the Tamed Beast's level reached a multiple of 10, and every 20 levels was a huge hurdle.

Get through it and the sky would be the limit. Otherwise, it would mean that their potential had been exhausted. Most Tamed Beasts would stop at the Overlord-rank and would not be able to continue.

Initially, Bull Two's evolution did not involve such pain. After all, it was just an ordinary Abyssal Tauren. However, Li Song had already modified its data. Thus, its current data was that of a Mythical Tamed Beast's growth potential.

The growth was naturally greater, but the pain it had to endure increased proportionately.

After a few minutes, the strengthening period came to a complete stop. At this moment, there were some changes in Bull Two's appearance. Its body grew taller once again. Excluding the horns on its head, it was already more than two meters tall.

Its entire body grew a little wider, making it look even more majestic. The thorns on its skin turned into armor that fit together, enough to block a small portion of the damage.

The current Bull Two looked completely different from before. Although it did not reach the extent of looking like a new species, the difference from before was still heaven and earth.

If one were to say that the previous appearance was young and cute, now, it looked like a wild, dark monster filled with power.

At this moment, its status had changed.

[Tamed Beast: Tauren Warrior]

[Race: Abyss]

[Quality: High-Grade]

[Level: 10 (Ordinary)]

[Evolution Level: Mature]

[EXP: 100/10,000]

[Tauren from the Abyss are brave and crazy. They are natural warriors.]

[This is a Tauren whose data has been altered. There is almost infinite potential hidden in its body!]

Originally, there was only the word 'Tauren' on its status, but now there was the word 'Warrior' added. It had also grown from infant to mature stage, and the current Bull Two had truly reached maturity.

Before, it was just an immature Tauren.

Such a change would take at least a year for the tribe members of the Tauren. However, Li Song had only spent five days to raise it to this level.

As he pondered, through the mutual exchange of life energy, a huge amount of energy also went into Li Song's body at the same time!

His muscles continued to move and his strength continued to rise. All the energy in his body was growing at a speed visible to the naked eye. In a daze, Li Song felt as if he could shatter the air with one punch.

Even the density of his muscles started to change.

This increase was unprecedented!

To put it bluntly, Li Song could toy with the previous him as he pleased with just one hand!

This was a difference in the nature of the body. Previously, due to the limitations of the body, Li Song could only exert 50% of his physical strength.

But now, he was able to exert at least 70% of his strength!

In any case, the pain of the advancement had been endured by Bull Two. Li Song had only endured the gentle transmission of energy through their pact, so he only felt that his body was filled with strength and power. As for the pain, he had completely avoided it.

In the end, it was Bull Two that endured everything.

After adapting to the energy in his body, Li Song opened the new [Skill] function.

Skills:

1. [Borrow]

2. [Boost]

3. [Blessing]

4. [Curse]

5. [Fusion]

Usable Skill Points: 1

This was the skill system for the Beast Tamer in [Beast Taming World].

There were only five categories in total.

[Borrow] As the name suggested, it was an offense-type warrior skill. After learning this skill, the Beast Tamer could completely beastify a part of their body and unleash the greatest level of strength without being restricted by the human body.

[Boost] This could be used on one's own Tamed Beast. It could temporarily increase the various attributes of the beast and allow them to unleash even greater power.

[Blessing] This was a healing spell that could heal the injuries of a Tamed Beast. At higher levels, even broken limbs could be regenerated.

[Curse] This was the opposite of the Boost skill. It was mainly used on the enemy and could reduce the enemy's strength and even take away their life force.

[Fusion] This was not much different from Borrow. While that can transform one's own body part into a beast's, Fusion was to merge the beast and the tamer to become one. The power unleashed was greater than them fighting individually.

Every single one of the five skills was a type of beast taming style, and the combat strength they displayed was different as well.

Actually, there was no difference in absolute strength among them. It was just that the situations they faced were different. Sometimes, the most powerful skill at one time might not have the greatest effect at other times.

Skill points were incomparably precious. Apart from some special NPCs in the game that could provide one point, the only way of getting them was leveling up to multiples of 10.

For most people, even if they reached the peak in their lifetime, they would only get 10 skill points!

These five skills were divided into thirteen levels each. To reach the peak, each required at least 13 skill points!

Therefore, one had to be even more cautious when it came to skill points. This concerned almost everyone's future! It was even more important than the college entrance examination on Earth!

However, Li Song had already made up his mind.

When he was in the game, he was most accustomed to using [Borrow]. Although this skill was not the strongest, it was the most comprehensive.

It could almost deal with all situations!

An emotionless mechanical voice sounded in his mind:

Ding!

"Do you want to enhance [Borrow]?"

"This will consume 1 Skill Point, and this action is irreversible."

"Are you sure?"

Li Song immediately thought in his mind: "Confirm!"

The interface changed.

[Borrow: Level 1/13]

Instantly, a wave of energy rushed into Li Song's body. His mind churned as a skill and its related information instantly entered his body, becoming a part of him.

Li Song moved his hand and a numbing sensation spread out. His right hand gradually changed and finally turned into a pitch-black hand. There were hairs growing on it. With a gentle squeeze, it felt as if all the strength was in his grasp.

He clenched his fist and punched out.

Bang!

The air actually let out a sharp whistle as his fist tore through the air!

It was just like Bull Two's palm!
