Beast Taming Space needed to be upgraded two levels to add one contract slot, and each contract slot was very precious.For the majority of Beast Tamers, weapon beasts occupying a precious contract slot, yet not fulfilling the role of a cherished beast, were truly useless.
It was evident from the expressions of the other members of Xing Yun's squad.
Their expressions had shifted from their initial longing to their current disappointment.
After all, they knew nothing about using weapons and starting from scratch would take a lot of time, much more troublesome than contracting a normal cherished beast and training it.
Seeing his squad members showing expressions of disappointment one by one, Xing Yun chuckled, "You should now understand why weapon beasts haven't become popular, right?" Your next chapter awaits on empire
"To fully utilize weapon beasts, each Beast Tamer needs to master weapon use, but that's hard to achieve. The practice time for weapon use is very long, and compared to the current conventional methods of training strong Beast Tamers by the alliance, it offers no advantage, so it's only made available to personnel with special needs and requires an application to be obtained."
"Moreover, weapon beasts cannot engage in Guardian Beast Co-operation combat," Xing Yun sighed lightly, "Even if you bring out the full strength of weapon beasts, it's only equivalent to the strength of a normal cherished beast, far inferior to the same tier Guardian Beast Co-operation combat."
"Why am I stronger than the other nine instructors?" He shook the stick in his hand, "Because my weapon beast, Black Cloud Stick, is a Monarch Tier·Monarch Breed, a growth tier higher than their cherished beasts. How could I not be strong?"
"Instructor, are you a Hall-Level Beast Tamer?" Zhang Xiaoyu blinked and asked with some surprise.
All the other instructors were Master-Level Beast Tamers, but Xing Yun was Hall-Level?
Not only did Zhang Xiaoyu think of this, but the other members too quickly became spirited.
Their instructor was the strongest! Sёarᴄh the Novёlƒire.n(e)t website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.
They had chosen the right person!
"Hall-Level Beast Tamer?" Watching his team members' eyes filled with anticipation and admiration, the grotesque scar on Xing Yun's face twitched, and he fell silent for a moment before speaking in a deep voice, "No, my Beast Taming Space has been wasted, and the Black Cloud Stick was contracted before it was destroyed, so it still maintains some telepathic connection with me, but the Guardian Beast Contract is gone."
"It was able to break through to the Monarch Tier because there was no suppression from the Beast Taming Space."
Beast Taming Space… wasted?
Everyone fell silent once again.
Having one's Beast Taming Space destroyed, yet being alive, meant only one thing: all contracted cherished beasts had been killed at the same time, leaving the Beast Taming Space extremely fragile and on the verge of collapse and then attacked again, which utterly eliminated the possibility of recovery.
The fact that Xing Yun's Black Cloud Stick was left might have something to do with the unique characteristics of weapon beasts.
But his other cherished beasts must have died.
All were Beast Tamers and had strong emotions towards their cherished beasts.
Thinking about their cherished beasts being killed and the pain of never being able to contract cherished beasts again through the Beast Taming Space, the team members' eyes suddenly reflected deep empathy.
"Let's not talk about this; it's all in the past," Xing Yun's eyes flickered momentarily as he slowly looked towards Lin Su.
When he had explained the flaws of weapon beasts earlier, the only one who didn't show any disappointment but appeared thoughtful was him.
"Weapon beasts have their flaws, but they also have some advantages," he began softly. Although he was addressing everyone, his gaze remained fixed on Lin Su.
Clearly, he was mainly speaking to Lin Su.
"Firstly, its strength, to a large extent, depends on the person controlling it. If the controller is strong enough, then it can also demonstrate greater efficacy," Xing Yun paused slightly, "Under normal circumstances, the personal strength of a Beast Tamer is limited, and however exquisite the weapon technique might be, it can't overcome the lack of basic strength, but if it is combined with Guardian Beast Co-operation combat..."
Lin Su's head lifted, his eyes suddenly lighting up, "Instructor Xing, they aren't conflicting?"
"As long as you have other cherished beasts to engage in Guardian Beast Co-operation, and also utilize the weapon beast in battle, naturally there is no conflict," Xing Yun nodded slightly, "Moreover, it can perform stronger than normal Guardian Beast Co-operation combat. That's what I used to do."
"Moreover, weapon beasts have another advantage; they are the only ones truly capable of unlimited evolution," Xing Yun gently stroked the Black Cloud Stick in his hand, and it trembled slightly as if responding to him.
"All weapon beasts start as lower elite breeds, but their evolution does not require evolution skills. They only need to continuously devour various resources to simultaneously upgrade their breed tier and growth tier, constantly becoming stronger," Xing Yun gave a bitter smile, "Of course, the amount they devour is massive, this guy is a true gold-devouring beast."
"Back when I lost the Beast Taming Space, I was utterly dejected and simply exchanged all the contribution points I had accumulated over the years for resources to feed to Black Cloud Stick, barely bringing it to the Monarch Tier."
"That's a drawback, I suppose." Shaking his head slightly, Xing Yun spoke again, "Alright, that's all about weapon beasts. Do you have any other questions?"
The others shook their heads.
Lin Su stood rooted to the spot, his eyes flickering with contemplative sparks.
If...
What if he mastered Guardian Beast Co-operation and then contracted a spear-shaped weapon beast?
Low intelligence and inability to communicate normally was an issue, but even a soulless weapon could be sensed and controlled using the power of the Beast Taming Space; a weapon beast with its own consciousness should logically be easier to engage in simple telepathic communication.
As for not mastering skills, that seemed to not be a problem for Lin Su.
The weapon beast couldn't master skills, so this Beast Tamer would do it.
He was already learning spear techniques.
And the world of martial arts surely wouldn't lack various spear techniques.
What he was learning now was only the most basic; he could learn many more profound techniques later. Not to mention the Thunder Piercing Spear Technique, the Lin Family's cherished secret skill, which was already very advanced for him at the moment.
As for the gold-devouring beast...
He was a man with a million contribution points.
So it seemed, the seemingly useless weapon beast, in his hands, might very well demonstrate a significant effect?
He decided!
In the future, he would definitely find a way to contract a weapon beast!
Huh? Why does that sound so familiar?
