Chapter 31: Awakening Skills Again
Returning to Dongyun City.
Wang Chen headed directly to the Adventurer's Guild.
Before setting out, he had taken on several commission tasks from the Adventurer's Guild related to the Undead Mountain Range.
Now that they were completed, he naturally had to return and submit them; otherwise, overdue tasks would incur penalties.
After submitting the commission tasks, Wang Chen received a total of approximately fifty thousand gold coins in rewards.
This amount of money was not small.
It was enough to cover the expenses of an average family for at least three months.
When Wang Chen went to the front desk and took out a large pile of materials, elixirs, and parts from wild monsters in front of many adventurers, it caused quite a stir.
Even the young lady at the front desk was shocked and covered her mouth in surprise.
She remembered this young man.
Ten days ago, he had taken on numerous commission tasks here by himself.
At that time, she had advised him not to take on too many tasks at once, as failing to complete them on time would result in penalties.
But he didn't seem to care.
She didn't expect that he would not only return safely from the Undead Mountain Range but also complete all the commission tasks, earning fifty thousand gold coins in one go.
Ignoring the varied looks from those around him, Wang Chen walked out of the Adventurer's Guild after receiving his reward, hailed a magic taxi, and headed to the largest trading market in Dongyun City.
In the taxi, Wang Chen closed his eyes to rest.
In fact, he was checking the changes in his and Xiao Qing's attributes.
The 200,000 experience points reward had allowed Wang Chen to successfully level up from level 28 to level 30.
[Name: Wang Chen.]
[Profession: Beast Tamer.]
[Level: 30.]
[Four Attributes: Strength 1500; Physique: 1500; Wisdom: 1500; Agility: 1500.] (No equipment, buffs, or item bonuses)
[Talents: Beast Affinity (SSS), Bloodline Awakening (Divine), Trait Extraction (Divine).]
[Skills: Beast Taming (S), Beast Rejuvenation (B), Bloodline Appraisal (Divine), Contract Summoning (B), Beast Berserk (C), Hatred Mark (E), Shifting Shadows (A).]
[Unassigned Attribute Points: 0 points.]
[Unassigned Skill Points: 0 points.]
...
This was Wang Chen's current status panel.
The four attributes had increased from 800 points to 1500 points (the obtained free attribute points were evenly distributed in advance).
The reason for the even distribution was that the Beast Tamer profession was unlike traditional combat professions; it did not distinguish between physical and magical.
The Beast Tamer's attacks were determined by the beast pets.
In other words, the future beast pets Wang Chen would contract could be physical, magical, tank-type, or agile assassin-type.
Moreover, the combat power of the beast pets would also be influenced by the owner's four attributes.
Therefore, Wang Chen had to develop his four attributes evenly so that his future beast pets, regardless of their type, could benefit from the attribute bonuses.
Additionally, skill points were used to upgrade professional skills.
Wang Chen allocated all his 5000 skill points to the "Beast Berserk" skill.
This skill was originally D-level, but it was now upgraded to C-level.
Originally, it only increased the beast pet's attack power by 10%, but now, after the upgrade, it increased the attack power by 30%.
Coupled with the SSS-level talent "Beast Affinity" which enhanced the effects of Beast Tamer skills...
This 30% increase was directly multiplied by five, becoming 150%!
Regarding equipment, Wang Chen planned to sell the Wolf King Greatsword and instead equipped the "War Axe of the Troll Leader."
[Equipment: War Axe of the Troll Leader.]
[Quality: Silver Five Stars.]
[Level Requirement: 30.]
[Attributes: Physique +100; Armor +100; Magic Resistance +100.]
[Equipment Effect: Increases own attack power by 10%; increases own attack speed by 30%; damage dealt to enemies converts to a protective shield for oneself, the shield being 10% of one's maximum health.]
[Equipment Source: Troll Leader (LV30)]
It truly lived up to being a Silver Five Stars weapon.
Both the equipment effect and the attributes it provided far exceeded the Wolf King Greatsword.
Wang Chen was a Beast Tamer, and although he had no weapon specialization, as the three-time champion of Dongyun City in practical combat, he naturally knew how to use various weapons.
The battle axe happened to be one of the weapons Wang Chen could use.
With this weapon, Wang Chen felt more confident about the upcoming career assessment exam.
Of course...
Xiao Qing, as Wang Chen's beast pet, also enjoyed the same experience rewards as Wang Chen.
The rewards for clearing secret realms were distributed to each clearing unit.
Xiao Qing was considered a clearing unit, but as a beast pet, it did not share the total experience points.
However, it could still receive the same experience rewards as its owner.
The 200,000 experience points reward also allowed Xiao Qing to soar from level 23 to level 30.
The experience needed for beast pets to level up seemed to differ from what was needed for owners.
The lower the grade of the beast, the less experience was needed to level up.
Conversely, the higher the grade of the beast, the more experience was needed to level up.
Take a first-grade ordinary beast and a first-grade spiritual beast for comparison.
A first-grade ordinary beast might need only 500 experience points to level up from level 1 to level 2.
But a first-grade spiritual beast might need 2000 experience points to level up from level 1 to level 2.
Of course...
Although spiritual beasts required more experience to level up, the attribute bonuses gained from leveling up far exceeded those of ordinary beasts, sometimes by hundreds or even thousands of times.
So it was common to see Beast Tamers who were level 50 while their high-grade beast pets were only level 30.
However, Wang Chen's situation was unique.
Xiao Qing was a second-grade ordinary beast, and the experience required for it to level up was far less than that of other beasts.
But the key point was that its bloodline was that of a cosmic-level divine beast.
Hmm...
This was quite extraordinary.
Thinking of this, Wang Chen immersed his mind and carefully checked Xiao Qing's current status panel.
[Beast Pet: Little Azure Python.]
[Name: Qing Wan.]
[Gender: Female.]
[Level: 30.]
[Level Cap: 50.]
[Type: Combat Beast Pet.]
[Bloodline Rank: Second-grade Ordinary Beast.]
[Talents: Gigantification (D), World-Destroying Thunder Technique (SSS).]
[Four Attributes: Strength 14000; Physique 14000; Wisdom 14000; Agility 14000.]
[Skills: Constriction (D), Fierce Charge (F), Bite (F), Azure Dragon Thunder Scales (SSS), Wind and Thunder atack (S), Soaring Through the Clouds (S).]
...
Hmm!!
This...
Sitting in the magic taxi, Wang Chen's eyes widened instantly, and his body shook!
The driver was startled by Wang Chen's actions, "Sir, what's wrong?"
"Nothing, nothing..." Wang Chen hurriedly suppressed his inner shock and forced a smile, waving his hand.
The driver then continued to focus on driving.
At this moment, Wang Chen's mind was in turmoil!
Damn!
Damn damn damn!
What shocked his usually calm demeanor wasn't Xiao Qing's four attributes of 14000 points each!
It was that Xiao Qing had awakened two more skills!
Both of these skills were S-level and were exclusive divine beast skills of the World-Destroying Azure Dragon!
