Global Beast Taming: Awakening Top 10 SSS Talents at the Beginning - Chapter 439

Chapter 439: A New Genre?
“Several gentlemen, please forgive the jest, come inside. Our store has Imperial Beasts that are even better and more suitable for you than the Earth Ape King, guaranteed to satisfy you after viewing.”

When the owner caught his first glance of Ye Feng and the others, his eyes sparkled. Although he couldn’t sense any aura from Ye Feng himself, the imposing aura of the three exceedingly beautiful women by Ye Feng’s side was unmistakable.

These people before him certainly had significant backgrounds.

You see, his ancestors made their fortune by opening a Beast Taming Store, and it had been in the family for four generations by his time. Despite the humble size of his store, it was indeed once the Star Beast Store.

It was because they were one of the first to have the Earth Ape King when it was at the peak of its popularity. At that time, their business was booming, and soon after, as Ye Feng pacified the Monster Beasts and the Demon Clan of Blue Star and became its hero, revered as the Saint Lord by the Blue Star Human Clan, their store reached an all-time high in their sales, and they even opened dozens of branches.

However, after Ye Feng left Blue Star, people from the Central Star Domain’s Human Race descended. Due to Ye Feng’s reputation, the Human Race from the Central Star Domain, after coming into contact with Blue Star’s Human Race, began to slowly negotiate and integrate with each other.

Just like that, a hundred years flashed by. Blue Star, no longer threatened by the Monster Race and Demonic Beasts, saw many Human Beast Tamers venture into the starry sky, exploring the five Great Star Domains.

Another hundred years later, a wave of energy that swept across the entire universe arrived at Blue Star. The Spiritual Energy within Blue Star became even more robust than before. Not only that, some Demonic Beasts that were left behind intentionally by humans began to mutate under this wave of Spiritual Energy.

New species unlike the previous Monster Beasts were born.

Moreover, a genius rose to prominence, reaching the same heights as Ye Feng, even surpassing the achievements Ye Feng had set, astonishing the Human Race’s Holy Institute.

It was this genius who founded a new stream of Beast Taming, different from both the Beast Tamer Sect of the Central Star Domain and the Blue Star.

This new stream of Beast Taming was termed the Mecha Stream.

A vast number of Demonic Beasts mutated, and the mechanical elements within their bodies grew rapidly to unimaginable levels. Some Demonic Beasts even had mechanical elements making up their blood.

Well-known examples such as the HardWorking Station Reporting Bear, Iron Blade Mantis, Heavenly Flying Ant, and Laser Rat are half-mechanized Imperial Beasts.

And these half-mechanized Imperial Beasts all mutated after that wave of energy arrived.

In the beginning, the Human Race still tamed beasts in the old way, until that Zhou Feng appeared. He used the half-mechanized Imperial Beasts as battle armors, forms of armor, and initially far outclassed the Beast Tamers of the same realm during the early stages.

Moreover, in every subsequent realm, he developed new forms of combat that were lauded by all the young people of the time.

Gradually, the Holy Institute also realized the advantages of the Mecha Stream that Zhou Feng had created and began to adopt and strongly promote it.

Although the old stream of Beast Taming still had its adherents, it was already in decline!

After all, not everyone could possess the talent of Ye Feng and Luo Qingcheng. These talented geniuses might possess Transcendent-quality Imperial Beasts, but those beneath the ninth grade, especially the fifth and sixth grade Imperial Beasts, had very simple minds.

In battle, they simply couldn’t compare to the integrated man-beast armor form.

Moreover, as the Mecha Stream developed, the fusion between man and beast became ever closer as time went on. This type of fusion seemed to refine the Imperial Beasts within the body, making the Beast Tamers incredibly powerful.

Since the Mecha Stream was promoted vigorously, their store’s business was greatly impacted, because the Imperial Beasts they had were still of the old Beast Taming faction.

Just like that, over a hundred years, many old Beast Taming Stores adapted to the new trend. Since they couldn’t change reality, they had to integrate into it. After all their branches eventually closed one after another, only the original main store remained.

When the family business was handed down to him, it was already nearing its sunset. In order to survive, he had to stock up a batch of the popular Imperial Beasts from the Mecha Stream.

These included the Furious War Bear, Heavenly Flying Ant, Iron Blade Mantis, Laser Rat, and so on.

Ye Feng raised an eyebrow. It had been less than three hundred years, and it seemed like Earth had changed quite fast.

And from what he could gather from the store owner, when had the Earth Ape King become an old-timer from the last era?

Ye Feng glanced at Brother Monkey by his side and noticed that he seemed completely unconcerned, indifferent to the matter.

“Let’s go and check it out!” Ye Feng said.

With one arm around the Luo sisters, Ye Feng walked past, eliciting a look of envy from the store owner.

Handling two top beauties on his own, now that was skill.

Hearing Ye Feng’s words, the store owner was thrilled. These people were certainly no ordinary customers. If he could do business with them, his store might just reclaim its former glory.

The thought alone was enough to make the owner quiver with excitement, his plump body becoming even nimbler than the shop assistant.

“Boss, your store is so small. What kind of decent Imperial Beasts could you possibly have?” Luo Qingcheng chimed in, noticing the peculiar look in Ye Feng’s eyes.

“Ah, Miss, don’t count my store out just because of its size,” the owner said. “It once was a Star Beast Store, selling many of the Imperial Beasts that Saint Lord Ye Feng contracted with in the last era.”

“But after all, that was the last era. This era is no longer about simple beast taming. The Mechanical Faction, led by God Lord Zhou Feng, is now the mainstream of the Human Race. Many popular Imperial Beasts from the Mechanical Faction are fully stocked here, despite the size of my store.”

Luo Qingcheng’s eyes flickered with a concealed light upon hearing the owner’s words, and her mind immediately focused on the Imperial Beast rooms behind the little shop.

Each of the separate Imperial Beast rooms housed one beast, totaling no more than thirty Imperial Beasts. Among them, twenty-six were, well, in a semi-mechanized state.

This was not only noticed by her but also by Ye Feng and the others.

A hint of perplexity crossed Ye Feng’s face as his mind invaded the body of a Laser Rat.

The next second, his expression became even stranger.

For the body of this Laser Rat indeed had lasers—no, more accurately, light elemental particles.

Moreover, the blood of the Laser Rat contained a significant amount of iron atoms, which likely explained why the critter had a semi-mechanical appearance.

And within those iron atoms, there lay a strange property, a property so bizarre that Ye Feng had never seen it before.
