Chapter 4: Sequence Talent, Xiong Yin

Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio

Skills were the most important component of a pet’s combat strength.

Based on the pet’s mastery of the skill, the realms were divided into beginner, practiced, proficient, great success, peak mastery, and enlightenment.

At the same time, the higher the skill’s grade, the harder it was to advance in realms.

After Wang Ye chose the reward, the green sparrow trembled as if it had been electrocuted.

In an instant, countless pieces of information regarding the Sky-dance appeared in its mind.

“Chirp?” The green sparrow was shocked. What was going on? Why does it feel like it had been practicing the skill for many years?!

It was only 0 years old!

The green sparrow looked at Wang Ye in confusion.

What did its beastmaster do to it?

“Is the game fun?” Wang ye coughed.

The green sparrow couldn’t understand the concept of the cheat and probably only thought of it as an AR game.

“Chirp, chirp!” The green sparrow immediately shook its head, then nodded again.

Being killed by an insect in the game was indeed a little discouraging to its confidence.

Birds had a natural bloodline suppression against insects.

Being killed by a tail attack from an insect would probably be a little unacceptable to any bird.

Furthermore, it had clearly been just an ordinary green little insect.

Wang Ye flicked the green sparrow’s forehead and said, “Forget about that. It’s just an insect. Sooner or later, you’ll be able to eat it.”

The green sparrow chirped excitedly.

As a young bird born with great courage, how could it be dispirited just because of an insect?

It still wanted to play!

“Cough cough, that’s all for today,” Wang Ye coughed weakly.

He did indeed feel a little weak after running the simulation once.

He’ll do it again tomorrow.

Wang Ye then took a look at the situation with the green sparrow’s skill.

[Skill: Sky-dance (practiced)]

“No way? It has practiced the skill for ten years in the simulation, but has only advanced it to the practiced realm?” Wang Ye was stunned.

He looked at the green sparrow and thought to himself, “So this is the growth of an E-class soul?”

It was indeed a stupid little bird.

Soul growth would affect a pet’s spiritual energy, comprehension ability, intelligence, and so on.

In the six dimensions, soul growth was very crucial.

The higher the soul growth, the higher the probability of the pet comprehending and learning skills. When training, its skills would also improve quickly.

“However, training a skill of such a high grade is indeed a little difficult for this stupid bird. Most of the pets at this stage are only learning beginner skills.”

If it was a beginner skill, it should’ve reached the realm of great success after practicing the skill for ten years.

But advanced skills were different.

“Sigh, practiced realm will have to do. So be it. Besides, I can run another simulation tomorrow. I have money, so there’s no need to panic.”

“Green sparrow, use Sky-dance and start training!”

Wang Ye rested at the side while he watched the green sparrow use Sky-dance in the air.

It was worth mentioning that when the silly bird performed the move, it was quite beautiful.

The scene of it doing so was much better than when it had just learned the skill.

Wang Ye took out several spiritual energy stones and placed them around the green sparrow.

With that, streams of star-like energy quickly began to surround the dancing green sparrow.

Thanks to the pet contract, Wang Ye could constantly sense that the spiritual energy in the green sparrow’s body was rapidly increasing!

“Its cultivation speed is at least three times faster than when the skill was in the beginner realm. It’s rare to see a skill that can also increase one’s cultivation speed. If used in battle, it can even increase agility. If the skill is advanced to a high enough realm, it might be able to improve some other abilities.”

The spiritual energy stones began to slowly turn into dust.

This time, the green sparrow cultivated for several hours before it gradually became exhausted.

After becoming a one-star level-one pet, the green sparrow’s stamina had grown quite a bit.

In the end, after using up ten spiritual energy stones, the green sparrow’s spiritual energy value broke through 200.

“Two-star level-one! The advanced skill is awesome! If this advancement speed of a star a day is maintained, it will become a level-9 pet in a few months!” Wang Ye was a little excited.

There were nine levels to a pet’s combat power. Different levels had different abilities.

For example, a level-2 pet could evolve, a level-3 pet could practice cultivation techniques with special attributes, a level-4 pet could activate its beast totem inheritance, learn powerful skills across grades, and so on.

Though at this point, this was all just wishful thinking. After all, the higher the combat power level, the more difficult it would be to advance.

“Next time, I can try making the green sparrow learn some offensive and defensive skills.”

With the hope of tomorrow, Wang Ye and the green sparrow rested for the day.

The next day, after washing up in the morning, Wang Ye was about to start taking the medicine to recover his spiritual power when a phone call interrupted him.

“Old Wang, I’m leaving Anping County. Let’s get together.”

“Sure. Your university is starting soon, right? It’s good to leave early. Give me the location and I’ll come over.”

After hanging up, Wang Ye tidied himself up, put the green sparrow into the pet space, and left the room.

The person who had called was the third-year classmate and best friend of the original owner of the body, Xiong Yin.

They grew up in the same orphanage, but Xiong Yin’s talent was much stronger than the original owner of the body.

Therefore, even though his academic results weren’t very good, he still managed to get into a decent university in the college entrance examination.

His future could be said to be bright.

Nowadays, as long as one managed to get into a beastmaster university and successfully graduate, one wouldn’t do too badly in the future.

Lin River was a small river that ran through Anping County.

On a small path beside the river, a skinny and short youth was leaning against the fence by the river, looking at the ripples.

“When are you leaving?” Unknowingly, a youth had appeared beside him.

“When the f*ck did you get here? You gave me a fright!” The short youth turned around and looked at Wang Ye, immediately scolding him with a smile.

“You’re about to go to university, so what are you thinking about?” Wang Ye asked.

“What else can I be thinking about? My university life in the future, of course! A professional pet training ground, personal guidance from high-tier beastmasters, countless resources, and even more powerful pet cubs all waiting for me!” Xiong Yin grinned, “And my Momo.”

“It’s great that after you’ve awakened the Heroic Soul talent, your personality has become much more cheerful,” Wang Ye swept him a glance.

Xiong Yin’s name sounded domineering, but he himself was the opposite. He was a malnourished and relatively thin youth.

After all, he had been born in an orphanage, and his conditions growing up weren’t very good.

Xiong Yin was shorter than him and looked plainer too.

He belonged to the silent type.

In his third year of high school, Xiong Yin’s life was actually not as good as Wang Ye’s.

In high school, with the original owner of the body’s looks, Wang Ye was still quite popular with the many girls in school based on his memories.

However, in the third year of high school, after signing pet contracts with pets and awakening talents, the fates of everyone changed as a result.

In the current world, there were a total of nine major sequences regarding the talents of humans.

They were: Earthly, Material, Elemental, Mechanical, Noumenon, Spatial, Spiritual, Heroic Soul, and Divine.

In each sequence, there were a large number of talents that were ranked according to their strength.

Among the nine major talent sequences, the Earthly Talent Sequence was the most common. It had the most types and the most extensive effects, but low upper limits.

For example, Beast Language, Inspiration, Self-discipline, Self-hibernation, Expression Control, Energetic, Deep Memory, and so on were all of the Earthly Talent Sequence.

Following that, Matter, Elemental, Machinery, and Noumenon Talent Sequences were of the same rarity. Each had its own powerful representatives.

Spatial, Spiritual, and Heroic Soul Talent Sequences were known as the Ace sequences.

Any talent among these three great sequences, no matter how backward the talent was in the rankings, would have very high levels of strength, upper limits, and applicability.

As for talents in the Divine Sequence, there were only a dozen or so on record at the moment, and each one of them was rare and extremely powerful.

The better and stronger one’s talent, the more help it would be to the pet and the higher the pet’s potential in the future.

In the college entrance examination, as long as one awakened any of the talents in the three Ace sequences, even if one scored zero points in other subjects, one would still be admitted to a beastmaster university.

However, the probability of awakening a talent among the Ace sequences was relatively low.

Xiong Yin was one of the lucky ones.

Heroic Soul Sequence 75, Ancient Overlord Heroic Soul.

“Xu Mo has already gone to Qixing City?” Wang Ye asked casually.

Xu Mo was Xiong Yin’s girlfriend, and Qixing City was the capital of Xinghai Province.

It was a big city with quite a few beastmaster universities.

Compared to a small place like Anping County, it was much safer.

“Yeah, she said she’d go earlier and wait for me there,” A blissful smile appeared on Xiong Yin’s face as he continued, “Big brother Ye, when I get a firm foothold in Qixing City, you can come over too! Oh, right, this is for you.”

With that, Xiong Yin took out a thick stack of notes from his pocket.

“Here’s 100,000 yuan. Qixing University gave me a scholarship of 300000, and it just arrived the day before yesterday,” said Xiong Yin, “I withdrew and gave Momo 100000. Since we’re brothers, let’s split the remaining 200000 equally. You didn’t get into a university, so it won’t be easy for you in the future. Take it.”

Wang Ye was speechless.
