Chapter 182: Chapter 164: Ordinary Element
BOOM!
As Han Yuqing gave the command, a huge splash suddenly erupted from the center of the nearby Central Pond.
A dragon’s head burst violently from the water, then looked toward its Beast Master’s position.
"ROAR..." Ah Fu let out a dragon’s cry, its voice so loud that it could be heard throughout almost the entire Cultivation Base.
Li Qi and Mo Wenbin naturally heard it too, and hearing it, they couldn’t help but reveal joyful expressions.
Immediately after, something even more surprising happened. Following Ah Fu’s cry, a series of splashing sounds, SPLASH, SPLASH, SPLASH, echoed one after another.
Four more dragon heads broke through the water. Including Ah Fu, a total of five Cyan-Scaled Flood Dragons now held their upper bodies erect, looking toward Han Yuqing’s position.
Or more precisely, they were scrutinizing Li Qi and Mo Wenbin.
Just now, Ah Fu had already relayed to the others Han Yuqing’s reason for summoning them.
Before this, Li Qian had also spoken with them, hoping they would leave the base and see the wider world outside.
He hoped they could find trustworthy Beast Masters to fight alongside and, ultimately, grow into even more powerful Pet Beasts.
Li Qian had described this wonderful scenario to all the Cyan-Scaled Flood Dragons and Frostfire Salamanders.
Therefore, none of the Cyan-Scaled Flood Dragons or Frostfire Salamanders in the base were opposed to leaving.
However, as they were all Sub-dragon Species Pet Beasts with considerable Talent and Potential, they also had very high standards.
Ordinary Beast Masters simply couldn’t catch their eye.
In short, if someone wanted to take one of them, it was possible, but they had to present something convincing.
"Currently, there are only these four evolved Cyan-Scaled Flood Dragons in the base. How you convince them is your business." After summoning all the Cyan-Scaled Flood Dragons, Han Yuqing looked at Mo Wenbin and briefly explained the situation.
Just a moment ago, she had heard clearly that it was this young Security Officer who wanted to apply for a Cyan-Scaled Flood Dragon.
After speaking, she turned to Li Qi. "As for the Frostfire Salamanders, they aren’t here. It’s a short walk away. Are you going to wait here for his result, or would you like to come with me first?"
With the increasing number of Cyan-Scaled Flood Dragons and Frostfire Salamanders, a single Central Pond was definitely not enough to house so many Pet Beasts.
Especially since the Pet Beasts weren’t all of one kind; there were Cyan-Scaled Flood Dragons, Frostfire Salamanders, and a large number of Koi Carp.
Separating them for cultivation had become the inevitable trend.
Because after evolving, their attributes no longer included the Water Element. Although they could still live in the water, the Frostfire Salamanders seemed to prefer living on land.
Based on this, Li Qian had made the decision to place all eight Frostfire Salamanders in the northern part of the base.
This area was a grassy field with a small channel flowing through it. The environment was quite nice, and most importantly, there was nothing to block the view, making it perfect for sunbathing.
"No need. I have great confidence in my colleague. I’m sure he’ll succeed," Li Qi said, his face full of confidence.
Hearing this, Han Yuqing smiled, then looked at Li Chengyang. "Old Li, take him to the Demon Salamanders’ habitat."
Li Chengyang also gave a faint smile. ’Confidence is a good thing.’ As one of the owners of the Cultivation Base, he also hoped that these Cyan-Scaled Flood Dragons and Frostfire Salamanders could find good homes.
Staying in the Cultivation Base forever wasn’t really suitable for their growth.
"Follow me." Li Chengyang beckoned and led Li Qi, who shared his surname, away from the Central Pond and toward the northern part of the Cultivation Base.
Meanwhile, Han Yuqing sat down leisurely in an artificial pavilion by the Central Pond to watch.
It was clear that Mo Wenbin was very sincere. He summoned one of his Pet Beasts, a Wolf Vulture, which carried him up to a position at the same height as one of the Cyan-Scaled Flood Dragons.
Han Yuqing immediately recognized this particular Cyan-Scaled Flood Dragon... It was Jin Er.
Jin Er was the proudest of the four Cyan-Scaled Flood Dragons. Gaining its approval would not be easy.
And indeed, that proved to be the case. No matter what Mo Wenbin described, Jin Er remained completely unmoved.
Finally, after trying every method to no avail, Mo Wenbin simply asked directly, "What will it take for you to become my Pet Beast?"
"ROAR! ROAR! ROAR..." Upon hearing his question, Jin Er let out a few cries. The Wolf Vulture beneath Mo Wenbin acted as a translator, conveying the general meaning.
"It wants to fight me once? And the Level can’t exceed Elite Level?" Mo Wenbin understood Jin Er’s meaning, a look of astonishment appearing on his face.
This Cyan-Scaled Flood Dragon was truly arrogant. To think it would only demand an opponent not exceeding the Elite Level. He knew that since it had only recently evolved, its own level was merely Tier Four Elite.
With a mere Power Level of Tier Four Elite, it dared to challenge any Pet Beast up to the Commander Level. This was a clear sign of how confident it was in its own strength.
Seeing this, the look of anticipation in Mo Wenbin’s eyes deepened.
A personality like this was exactly to his liking.
"I don’t have any Elite Level Pet Beasts. Both of mine have already advanced to the Commander Level."
As Mo Wenbin spoke, he took out a metal ring. "However, this Energy-Binding Ring has the effect of restricting Energy. After putting it on, it will suppress my Pet Beast’s level down to the Elite Level."
"If you trust me, I can have it wear this Energy-Binding Ring to fight you."
As his voice fell, he summoned another Pet Beast.
Not far away, Han Yuqing, who was enjoying the show from the pavilion, was slightly surprised by the sight. ’It’s actually a Three-tailed Ape.’
A Three-tailed Ape, Fighting Element, with a Racial Potential of Tier Eight Commander. With that kind of Potential, if its strength was suppressed to the Elite Level—even to Tier Nine Elite—it really might not be a match for Jin Er.
The Fighting Element, much like the Dragon Element, was actually a conceptual element; this type of Energy didn’t truly exist in the Beast Taming Realm.
Fighting was more about the application of Energy, which was why some Beast Masters also categorized the Three-tailed Ape under the Ordinary Element.
The Ordinary Element often implied mediocrity, as its application of every other element’s Energy was very... well, ordinary, just like its attribute name suggested.
In theory, they could flexibly use the Energy of various elements to achieve the most ideal combination of Skills.
Unfortunately, theory was just theory. Although Ordinary Element pets could theoretically comprehend Skills of any element, their comprehension speed, learning ability, and even the power they could unleash couldn’t compare to a Pet Beast of that native element.
It was for this very reason that in the Pet Beast Market, the price of Ordinary Element Pet Beasts was generally the lowest among Pet Beasts with equivalent Potential.
Of course, this also had a lot to do with the fact that Ordinary Element Pet Beasts were often difficult to evolve.
Han Yuqing really didn’t know if this Mo Wenbin was extremely confident in himself or just being arrogant.
