Chapter 33: Chapter 033 – Tier Two Beastmaster

Of the five Brown-Haired Boars, two of them had actually dropped beast cards for Zhang Che.

This bit of reward was of course not enough to cause Zhang Che to go wild with joy; it was because he suddenly felt that he broke through the spiritual barrier of a Tier One beastmaster, and had officially advanced into Tier Two.

This made Zhang Che feel ecstatic.

After advancing into a Tier Two beastmaster, not only could he utilize two-star beast cards, at the same time, due to his spiritual sea being twice as large as others, the total number of beast cards he could employ simultaneously was now 6 of them!

As such, Zhang Che’s strength had directly doubled!

Of course, that was if he owned several two-star beast cards with decent attributes.

“Heh, two-star beast cards; the extra Psychedelic Ghost-Patterned Butterfly card can finally be useful now. Let’s see how effective this fellow’s hallucination inducing powder is.”

Zhang Che took out the Psychedelic Ghost-Patterned Butterfly card from his backpack and held it between his palms, quickly establishing spiritual resonance with it. Then, he put it in his spiritual space and branded it with his spiritual imprint, officially turning it into his first two-star subdued beast.

With a thought, the branded beast card materialized between his fingers and turned into a ray of light, flying out in front of Zhang Che, appearing as a greyish-black butterfly about the size of a bamboo winnowing basket.

Compared to the one-star Psychedelic Ghost-Patterned Butterfly Zhang Che hunted initially, the two-star butterfly combined through the use of fusion skill was slightly bigger as a whole. Also, the patterns on its body seemed more mysterious, one’s scalp would go numb after looking at it.

Although he really wanted to see useful this fellow was, Zhang Che still had some things that needed to be done. He could only suppress the curiosity within him and took out the two Brown-Haired Boar cards he just obtained.

[Brown-Haired Boar]

Level: One Star (Level 8)

Quality: Bronze

Type: Original Combat Body

Characteristics: Thick Hide and Tough Body, Hair on Its Back Can Be Shot As Projectiles When Enraged

Weakness: Will Enter A Weakened State For A Certain Period of Time After Shooting Hair Projectiles

Potential: D Rank: 25% Chance of Breaking Through Current Level, 2.5% Chance of Breaking Through Current Quality. Chances Halved on Next Upgrade. Upgradable 2 Times

Cultivating Directions: …

Unsurprisingly, the Brown-Haired Boar was an Original Combat Body-type as well. Its strength as a one-star bronze quality beast might be very underwhelming, but that mane projectile ability might be able to bring about some unexpected results.

Without any hesitation, Zhang Che held both the cards in his palm and activated Fusion.

In the next moment, the two beast cards turned into a mass of light and quickly fused into a two-star bronze quality card.

[Brown-Haired Boar]

Level: Two Star (Level 20)

Quality: Bronze

Type: Original Combat Body

Characteristics: Above Average Defenses, Able to Use Mane Projectile Attack 3 Times a Day

Weakness: Enters A Weakened State For 30 Minutes After Shooting Hair Projectiles

Potential: D Rank: 12.5% Chance of Breaking Through Current Level, 2.5% Chance of Breaking Through Current Quality. Chances Halved on Next Upgrade. (Level Upgradable 1 Time, Quality Upgradable 2 Times)

Cultivating Directions: …

The two-star Brown-Haired Boar actually gave Zhang Che a tiny surprise.

Originally, they were only able to use the Mane Projectile attack once a day, and now it had actually increased to three times. The only regret was that the Brown-Haired Boar would enter a weakened state for half an hour once it used the ability.

It seemed that he shouldn’t use this offensive method under normal circumstances.

After branding his spiritual imprint on the new beast card, another two-star beast appeared by Zhang Che’s side.

As expected, the two-star Brown-Haired Boar was bigger than before, too, especially the tuft of the long and thick black mane on its back; there were twice as much hair now.

This fellow’s Mane Projectile attack was probably able to threaten the Fiery Scorpion, penetrating its carapace.

Thinking when the Fiery Scorpion was shot at by a one-star Brown-Haired Boar earlier, although it didn’t suffer any injuries, the attack left a patch of condensed white marks on its carapace. Zhang Che estimated that the power of a two-star Brown-Haired Boar’s Mane Projectile would at least be twice as strong as before.

To be able to penetrate the FIery Scorpion’s carapace, this offensive ability could be used as a finishing move.

After fusing the Brown-Haired Boar cards, Zhang Che had no intentions of stopping here. He extended his hand and recalled the wolves, fusing them into a two-star beast card.

[Wind Shadow Wolf]

Level: Two Star (Level 20)

Quality: Bronze

Type: Original Combat Body

Characteristics: Quick As A Storm, Skilled at Pouncing Attack

Weakness: Poison Attack

Potential: C Rank: 50% Chance of Breaking Through Current Level, 5% Chance of Breaking Through Current Quality. Chances Halved on Next Upgrade. (Level Upgradable 2 Times, Quality Upgradable 3 Times)

Cultivating Directions: …

Very good. After fusing into a two-star beast, the Wind Shadow Wolf was even faster than before, and even has a ‘skilled at pouncing attack’ characteristic. It seemed that its offensive capabilities have received an extremely huge growth.

After doing all of this, Zhang Che’s subdued beasts were basically an entirely different lineup.

Other than the Fiery Scorpion, who was still at one-star silver quality, the Brown-Haired Boar and Wind Shadow Wolf had both advanced to two stars, and were bronze-quality, to boot. Their overall strength was comparable to the Fiery Scorpion.

Other than them, there was still a two-star black iron quality Psychedelic Ghost-Patterned Butterfly that used poison powder attacks. It should be a very decent addition.

“Ha, if it were any other Tier Two beastmasters, they could only suffer the agony of choosing three out of four beasts, while I still have two openings. One glance is all you need to discern the difference in strength!”

Zhang Che felt an air of heroism rising within him. He waved his hand, commanding his four subdued beasts to continue moving forward.

After traversing several low hills, he suddenly heard the murmurings of water ahead.

Zhang Che was immediately filled with glee. He finally found a source of water; there wasn’t much water remaining in his water bottles, and he was in dire need of refilling them.

He quickened his steps, detouring away from a patch of dense bushes. A clear rivulet appeared in a little valley before him.

However, Zhang Che didn’t approach the stream rashly. Instead, he stood on a tall rock protruding out from the earth and scanned his surroundings carefully. After affirming that there weren’t any exotic arounds, he dashed towards the rivulet under the escort of his four beasts.

Although it was uncommon to find a source of food in the beast world, water sources were rather abundant. Otherwise, it would be extremely difficult to venture deep into the realm.

You might feel weak from not eating for a day, but if you don’t drink for an entire day, your physical condition would be greatly affected no matter how strong you are.

Zhang Che ran to the stream and first drank his fill. After that, he filled up his water bottle and sat down on a clean slab by the stream with a satisfied look, resting for a short while.

As he rested, Zhang Che kept looking around in all directions, in case of any sneak attacks.

When his gaze swept past a huge tree several meters away from the stream, Zhang Che suddenly saw a bunch of data blink before his eyes for a moment.

“What the heck? I don’t see any exotic beasts…”

Zhang Che was greatly puzzled. He scanned left and right again, and when the huge tree entered his vision once more, his eyes opened wide in surprise, revealing an incredulous expression.
