Wilderness: I Tame Beasts to Survive

Chapter 329: Chapter 240: Ghost Avatar, Starlight Turret

"Nghh~"

Fei Lin, who was in the process of inheriting the Talent, seemed to be in immense pain.

The color of her snow-white skin, exposed to the air, began to change slightly.

What was at first a deathly pallor gradually took on a metallic luster.

Overall, however, Fei Lin’s appearance hadn’t changed much.

Her watery, purple eyes were the only exception; the light within them grew sharper. Even with the faint starlight blanketing the earth, one could still see the metallic sheen reflecting off her skin.

’I wonder how much destructive power Fei Lin can dish out now.’

[High-Frequency Thermal Blade]: Manipulate the Gold Element to vibrate a weapon at high frequency, drastically raising its surface temperature. This imparts high heat and a powerful cutting effect, and can be released at any time as a blade of light.

[Dark Mirror Surface]: Condense a mirror surface around oneself that completely envelops the body. This mirror can reflect all Spiritual Energy damage but is fragile.

High-Frequency Thermal Blade and Dark Mirror Surface were the two new Soul Techniques Fei Lin had Awakened after advancing to the War General Level.

Fei Lin’s Elemental Affinity had originally ranked Darkness first. Now, after inheriting the Shattered Gold Talent, the Gold Attribute had taken the top spot.

Based on past experience, Fei Lin’s current stats were roughly equivalent to a Middle War General Soul Beast.

Limited by their environment and lacking a test subject, Han Ning had no choice but to summon the good old, uncomplaining punching bag, big bro Egg Pancake, to help Fei Lin test her moves.

"Egg Pancake, don’t defend. Take a High-Frequency Thermal Blade from Fei Lin head-on."

Squeak~

Egg Pancake scratched its head, indicating it understood.

’I thought Master called me over for a treat. I didn’t expect to be a punching bag again. This kind of thing isn’t for Big Sis Yin Yi to handle. What can I say? I’m the big brother.’ Egg Pancake sighed. ’With great size comes great responsibility.’

"Squeak~"

Egg Pancake swung its sturdy, large rear, signaling for little sis Fei Lin to hurry up and attack.

"Eeee!"

Fei Lin ran up to Egg Pancake’s behind, first hopping up to give its butt a gentle pat and a soft word of comfort.

Then, she raised the slender blade that had transformed from the Biological Armor on her right limb.

The long blade began to vibrate at high speed like a chainsaw, a sunset-like color spreading across its entire surface.

"Eee!"

A sharp light flashed in Fei Lin’s eyes as she suddenly chopped down at Egg Pancake’s butt!

A bright line of fire streaked through the air like a bolt of lightning, striking straight into the perky rump.

A slender flash of orange light passed by.

SCREEECH~

Dazzling sparks flew from the crimson rear.

SKWEEE!!!

In an instant, a pained shriek from Egg Pancake echoed through the ruins.

A small, thin cut had been opened on Egg Pancake’s crimson, jade-scaled hindquarters, the wound penetrating no more than one or two millimeters.

A thin, sunset-colored mark of light lingered around the wound, preventing Egg Pancake’s powerful regenerative ability from healing it.

But... Egg Pancake was a full major rank above Fei Lin. With a slight flex of its rear, the minor injury healed in an instant.

"...It’s just a tiny scratch. Egg Pancake, did you really need to be so dramatic?"

Han Ning had actually been quite surprised when he heard Egg Pancake’s wail.

He hadn’t expected...

Egg Pancake’s acting had gotten so over-the-top.

Squeak~

Egg Pancake gave Han Ning an aggrieved look.

"Sigh. Good work. Here’s a little something for you."

Amused, Han Ning patted Egg Pancake’s rear, took out some Fire Attribute Crystal Stones that Qingyao had given him, and tossed them into its cavernous mouth.

’I can’t believe it. Fei Lin is only at the War General Level, yet she can actually harm Egg Pancake...’

He was secretly astonished. One had to remember that Egg Pancake was no small fry among Soul Beasts; its scales could likely withstand an Early Stage Lord Level Soul Technique without taking much damage.

-0.5 HP and a miss are two completely different concepts.

The ability of Biological Armor to ignore Biological Armor was only effective below the Lord Level; after all, its rarity was only at the War General Limit.

This meant that Fei Lin’s own Armor-Piercing capability was outstanding.

’The extreme speed from Darkness, combined with the Shattered Gold Talent... Fei Lin’s path as an Assassin is already starting to show results...’

In Han Ning’s imagination.

Fei Lin was supposed to be the cool, ruthless type who hid in the shadows, infiltrated silently, and killed her enemies in an instant before vanishing without a trace, her name and deeds unknown.

Like a blade—cold, merciless, and exceptionally dangerous.

For example, in a scenario where he was surrounded by enemies.

He would calmly murmur in a low voice, "Fei Lin."

Then, in a flash, a dark figure completely wrapped in her distinctive armor would emerge from the shadows. Holding twin blades that glinted with a bone-chilling light, her gaze would be cold and stern as she swung her blades with a flick of her wrists.

The cutting edge would sweep past, and all enemies present would fall like wheat before a scythe.

In terms of destructive power, she was indeed developing in the direction he had imagined.

But her personality, influenced by Egg Pancake, was becoming a little goofy.

But that wasn’t an issue. As long as she was as warm as a spring breeze to family and merciless to her enemies, it was fine.

"Stripping a Talent from one Soul Beast and having another inherit it... I have only ever witnessed such a god-like feat from a Beast Master of the Purple Crystal Race... Han Ning, you humans can actually master such advanced cultivation techniques?"
