Wilderness: I Tame Beasts to Survive

Chapter 330: Chapter 240: Ghost Avatar, Starlight Turret

Once the experiment was over, Hom, who had been hiding inside the Biological Armor, could no longer contain her curiosity and sent out a Spiritual Fluctuation.

As Fei Lin grew stronger, the mental state of Hom, the Biological Armor parasitic on her, steadily improved. The side effects of the Biological Armor had become almost negligible.

"The Purple Crystal Race? What kind of race is that?" Han Ning didn’t answer Hom’s question, asking one of his own instead.

He didn’t know how to explain the panel, so he simply remained silent.

Hom seemed to realize that her question touched upon a race’s secrets, so she didn’t press the matter. Instead, she answered Han Ning’s question:

"An extremely powerful and intelligent race. If Alatak is one of the many stars in the sky, then the Purple Crystal Race’s level of Beast Taming is the brightest, most brilliant, and largest star among them all."

"However, this race is exceptionally mysterious. I only have a slight understanding from ancient texts. It’s said they inhabit a completely isolated continent where powerful Soul Beasts are as numerous as grains of sand in a desert, and extraordinary Beast Masters are countless. It’s the holy land of Beast Taming that all races dream of."

"Alright, another legendary tale."

Han Ning shook his head and turned his attention back to Yin Yi beside him.

The panel had collected two Talents from the Shadow Reaper.

The Shattered Gold Talent had already been given to Fei Lin to inherit.

There was also a Netherworld Avatar Talent, which he planned to have Yin Yi inherit.

Neither Egg Pancake nor the All-Encompassing Spiritual Silkworm were compatible with the Netherworld Avatar; only Yin Yi was suitable.

Han Ning silently commanded, "Adapt the Netherworld Avatar Talent for Yin Yi."

BEEP~

Adapting...

Spiritual Energy Content: √ Meets preliminary adaptation requirements.

Racial Physical Structure: X 60% compatibility.

Spiritual Ability Attribute: X 10% compatibility.

Final Compatibility: 40%. Insufficient to meet final adaptation requirements.

Inheriting this Talent requires an additional 5,000 Energy for a slight modification, with a risk of weakening the Talent’s abilities.

Please note: At the Lord stage, only one Talent may be inherited. After inheriting this Talent, future inheritances can only serve to strengthen it based on compatibility. No other types of Talents can be inherited.

Adapt?

’The Netherworld Avatar Talent isn’t compatible with Yin Yi?’

Han Ning frowned and thought for a moment. The Shadow Reaper was a creature that could shift between the tangible and intangible, relying on its mysterious Undead Attribute.

Come to think of it, Yin Yi could also shift between tangible and intangible, but she relied on her Elemental Body...

Furthermore, their Spiritual Energy, Attributes, and even their biological forms were vastly different. ’But this Ghost Avatar is just too good! Even if its effects are weakened, the boost to Yin Yi’s combat power will be massive. Even if she can’t inherit other Talents, I just need to keep strengthening the avatar.’

’Finding another powerful Talent could take forever. It’s better to focus on getting stronger now.’

After some thought, he made up his mind to have Yin Yi inherit this Talent!

"Adapt!"

Qingyao had given him some Crystal Stones, so he wasn’t short on Energy for the time being.

Talent modification in progress...

Modification successful!

Due to low racial compatibility, the modified Netherworld Avatar Talent is estimated to be approximately 20% weaker than the original.

Lines of pale blue text scrolled by.

In the empty space, layers of starlight suddenly appeared, enveloping the unsuspecting Yin Yi.

Ugly Shadow Reapers, formed from starlight, began to circle around Yin Yi.

The Shadow Reaper was a Dark Type Soul Beast, but its power had now been reformed into Starlight.

Finally, they merged into a streak of light and shot into Yin Yi’s body.

In an instant, Yin Yi’s jade-white Body began to twist continuously, looking surreal, like a distorted image.

Its starlight-burning eyes flickered slightly, as if it was comprehending its newly acquired Talent.

About ten seconds later.

The light subsided.

"Ling~"

Yin Yi tilted its head and looked to the side.

Shattered starlight gathered, quickly coalescing into an avatar that was almost identical to Yin Yi.

They looked at each other like twins.

At the same time, at the end of the Soul Techniques section on Yin Yi’s panel, a new Soul Technique appeared.

[Starlight Radiation Field]: Creates a circular, distorted radiation field that warps a portion of external attacks for the main body and the avatar.

Additionally, compared to the previous Ghost Avatar, this modified Talent had been renamed to Starlight Avatar. The avatar’s durability was lower; it would shatter instantly upon receiving an attack from an enemy of the same level.

And the avatar’s destructive power was also reduced to 80% of the main body’s.

’Even so, it’s still very powerful.’

Han Ning gazed at the nearly real avatar, which showed no trace of starlight, then turned his gaze to Qingyao and began to speak,

"Elder Qingyao..."

Before he could finish, Qingyao preemptively nodded.

The intelligent creature could already anticipate what the human before it was thinking!

"Sorry to trouble you."

Han Ning smiled sheepishly.

Yin Yi controlled its avatar, and both looked at Qingyao simultaneously. Like an Indian Ocean Pilot controlling their mech, they nodded in perfect sync and instantly entered Elementalization mode.

WHOOSH WHOOSH WHOOSH~

Dazzling starlight gathered into two dreamlike, illusory Starlight Jade Trees.

In fact, Yin Yi could switch freely between the Wood Element and the Star Element.

But considering the Starlight Element’s greater destructive power, Han Ning had it switch to its Star Element State.

The two figures erupted with a brilliant, dazzling light.

The brilliance of the light instantly overwhelmed every other light source in Night Nether City.

This level of brightness could instantly blind an ordinary person or a weaker Soul Beast.

The three celestial bodies in the sky were affected, each casting down starlight of a different color that flowed into the radiance below.

BOOM!!

Astonishing, intersecting beams of light enveloped Qingyao, engulfing its elegant figure in an endless torrent of starlight.

SIZZLE SIZZLE SIZZLE~

The terrifying radiation field spread outwards.

The few scattered fragments of the Shadow Reaper’s body caught in the radiation turned into festering flesh and dissolved into the rubble.

The aftershock of the starlight swept through the surrounding ruins. The high heat and radiation within it melted the special stone, turning it a warm, glassy orange.

"KREEE~"

Qingyao, caught in the starlight bombardment, let out a light, ethereal dragon cry.

A draconic claw reached out. In its palm, a swirling mass of cyan light appeared.

VWOOM~

As the cyan light appeared, the surrounding beams of light seemed to encounter a black hole and were all drawn into the cyan glow.

Then, chains, flickering in and out of sight, emerged from the surface of the cyan glow, sealing the sphere of light layer by layer.

The light dimmed.

Qingyao appeared in mid-air, its body emitting wisps of smoke.

Having successfully broken through to the Monarch Level, Qingyao had, this time, actually taken Yin Yi’s starlight torrent head-on with its physical body!

On its beautiful scales, some scattered black smudges appeared. Wisps of smoke rose upwards, carrying residual heat and causing even the surrounding air to distort.

But overall, its scales remained undamaged.

"Haaah~"

Qingyao exhaled a turbid breath, and its draconic body began to glow faintly.

The black scorch marks vanished instantly, leaving the dragon completely refreshed.

’Not bad... A Lord Level Soul Technique that can actually affect Qingyao’s scales. The power is decent!’

’Looks like the beam attack relies on high heat and radiation to deal damage, not an explosion...’

’If I can modify the starlight particles Yin Yi absorbs into a type with high heat and immense destructive Penetration Power... its strength should increase even more...’

’I remember the Spacium Beam is characterized by its intense heat and destructive power. I can do some research in that direction when I get back.’

The multi-colored starlight could be combined to form Light Beam Soul Techniques with various effects. With just a moment’s thought, Han Ning drew inspiration from the Ultraman Family for creating Light Beams with different radiation properties, like the Spacium Beam, the Dilaxium Light Stream, and the Zaiperia Beam.

A Soul Technique is what it is, but by changing the properties of its particles, its power could also be altered to varying degrees. This was evident from the different realms of Spiritual Energy comprehension, such as Gathering Spirit and Divine Will.
