The King of Beast Trainers

Chapter 18 - 17 Evolution_1



Chapter 18: Chapter 17 Evolution_1

[There are four primary directions in developing Pet Beast skills: Release, Flow, Shaping, and Compression!]

[The foundation of these four developmental directions is Energy Coverage!]

[Every Pet Beast, after simple training, can awaken the energy within its body to cover itself, thereby enhancing its own strength. This is the most basic usage of energy by a Pet Beast.]

[Depending on the Attribute, the effects produced by a Pet Beast covering its body with energy can differ.]

[Covering the body with Rock Energy can enhance defensive power, while covering the body with Wind Attribute Energy can increase movement speed... Each Attribute has its unique effects.]

[However, this simplest form of energy application won't play a decisive role in battle.]

[To achieve victory, one must master more advanced energy applications...]

"Mr. Husky can already cover its body with No Attribute energy, I wonder if it can still do that after awakening the Wind Attribute," Lu Ran mumbled to himself.

Energy Coverage is indeed fundamental. After reaching level 3, Mr. Husky grasped this on his own during battle, and many creatures in the Secret Realm can do it too.

If everyone can do it, naturally it has no decisive impact on the outcome of a battle.

...

[After mastering the basics of 'Energy Coverage', depending on different choices, the four advanced applications that branch out are...]

[First, Release; energy is part of a Pet Beast's body, and it can easily control the energy as long as it remains attached. However, once energy leaves the body, the Pet Beast loses control over it. But some extraordinarily talented Pet Beasts can, with training, not only release energy from their bodies to form long-range attacks but also control the trajectory of the released energy, exerting suppressive effects on their enemies!]

[Energy Release is a mandatory skill for every Pet Beast that desires a means of ranged attack.]

Lu Ran pondered and then nodded in agreement.

Having a ranged attack in battle is indeed very important.

Release-type skills are just ranged moves, similar to the "Energy Skill Wave" seen in animations and games.

[Second, Flow; which involves controlling the energy to rapidly circulate it over one's body, making it like flowing rivers and seas. Compared to statically covered energy, flowing energy can significantly enhance the various augmenting effects it has on the beast itself.]

[Once mastered, this can lead to rapid successive skill activations and instant casts.]

Hmm? Lu Ran read this and quickly understood.

He compared it, and the difference between having mastered it or not is like the difference between an old-fashioned bow and arrow and a submachine gun.

One requires charging for each shot, while the latter... fires continuously without interruption.

In other words, if there's a cooldown period between skills, then mastering energy flow could reduce that cooldown period!

"This direction is also very important..."

[Third, Shaping; energy is intangible, and basic energy is as weak as airflow, but through changing its form, energy can be materialized.]

[Materialized energy can maximize the properties of the energy itself.]

This Shaping technique was exemplified in the training manual with many examples.

For instance, if a Pet Beast covered in Wind Attribute Energy uses energy control to Shape it into a pair of Wings of Wind, it could gain the ability to fly.

Or if Ice Attribute energy is present around its hands, a Pet Beast could Shape it into a solid Ice Blade Weapon to enhance its lethality.

Lu Ran contemplated, feeling this was also a skill not to be ignored.

[Fourth, Compression; energy has varying qualities, and a Pet Beast can release vast energy and then compress it to its limit, thereby improving the quality and obtaining greater strength.]

[Warning, this technique demands extremely high control and robust physical conditions, as the compressed energy becomes volatile and puts a significant strain on the body. It's very dangerous; if it bursts, the resulting Destructive Power can be astonishing, often harming the user significantly alongside the enemy.]

[Release, Flow, Shaping, Compression—these are the four advanced uses of energy. They do not conflict with each other and can be combined, such as Shaping and Release. For example, a Pet Beast could Shape Ice Attribute Energy into an Ice Spear and then Release it, creating a long-range ice spear attack; this is the rudimentary form of a skill. A Beast Trainer's responsibility is to help their Pet Beast combine these techniques into skills based on the beast's learning Talent!]

"So skills do indeed have to be developed by ourselves," Lu Ran realized as he stroked his chin.

At first, he thought that Pet Beasts could automatically learn skills upon leveling up.

Now thinking about it, Mr. Husky and the others are just beginning to touch upon the extraordinary, with no significant inheritance in their Bloodline. Starting everything from scratch is normal.

This information is undoubtedly a great help to Lu Ran; without even thinking, he knew that Shaping was a must-learn for the Wind Attribute Mr. Husky.

After all, it concerns Mr. Husky's ability to fly...

As for Release... that's also quite useful. It wouldn't do to have no ranged attack capability.

Rather than Mr. Husky engaging in direct biting combat, expelling a wind ball comparable to a storm from its mouth would be so much cooler.

Energy Compression... Compression is useful as well!

Will it harm the body due to the load? The least of their worries is the body's strain; time to look into the Divine Deer Pendant!

The self-harm tactic Mr. Husky is already quite skilled with it since the Novice Secret Realm...

Flow is related to sustained combat ability, also very important.

"Looking at it this way, every direction of Energy Application is important; indeed, all should be practiced..."
