Supreme Tamer - Chapter 745

Chapter 745: Chapter 615: Dragon Soul Bead, Ghost Race?

“My god, does a medium monarch below the fifth rank have such a strong killing power?” the hired leaders all widened their eyes in surprise.

In fact, it probably wouldn’t be a problem for the hired bosses to set their main pets loose and instantly kill over 300 Black Rock Leopards. However, those were led by commanders and monarchs of the eighth or ninth rank. They didn’t have the face to compete with pets under the fifth rank of others.

“It’s a high-level monarch! That must be a High-Level Monarch Soul Pet!” said Zheng Nan, his eyes somewhat fanatical.

Only a High-Level Monarch could possibly burst forth such destructive power below the fifth rank, and it is very likely to be a strong one among High-Level Monarchs!

“A High-Level Monarch… I wonder where Chu Mu got such a rare treasure of a soul pet!” Chu Si was also extremely envious!

…

When the power of the dragon and the power of the emperor combine, coupled with the emperor-level skills, the attack power of the Little Hiding Dragon’s Dragon Light can approach that of a full-blown strike from a high-level general, so it is perfectly normal to slaughter a large number of low-ranked and intermediate-ranked servants in seconds.

Of course, this is also the Little Hiding Dragon’s strongest skill!

“The effect is not bad, we should continue to go steady, otherwise the physical consumption would be too great.” Chu Mu praised Little Hiding Dragon.

“Sha sha sha~~~~~~~” Little Hiding Dragon responded with a sound.

However, just after responding, a blue light emerged from the Little Hiding Dragon. This light was much softer than the power of the dragon. Chu Mu was all too familiar with this kind of light — it was the Growth Light!

“Second rank, fifth level!” Chu Mu was overjoyed in his heart. As expected, the mass killing effect was the most obvious. Just a few skill releases and the Little Hiding Dragon had grown again!

The scale armor on the Little Hiding Dragon was obviously much brighter, and while its claws were not totally renewed, they were clearly sharper, indicating that its attack power had increased again!

Chu Mu was watching the change in the Little Hiding Dragon when he suddenly noticed that a small, cyan dragon bone had grown on the forehead of the Little Hiding Dragon between its pair of dragon horns. It was very smooth and had a special shape.

“What is this?” Chu Mu was secretly surprised, he didn’t remember that there was such a smooth little dragon bone on the forehead of the Azure Sky Hidden Dragon.

“Sha sha sha~~~~~~~~~” even the Little Hiding Dragon didn’t know what it was. It naively reached out to touch it, only for a group of Black Rock Leopards to take advantage of the moment and launch a group attack on Little Hiding Dragon.

Little Hiding Dragon became enraged and directly pounced at them. It was another bloody and brutal fight, completely contrasting with its naive appearance just a moment ago.

“Young Master, that is the Dragon Soul Bead, unique to the Azure Sky Hidden Dragon. One of the reasons it’s called the Undying Hidden Dragon is that after it dies, it doesn’t vanish completely. If it finds suitable conditions in the netherworld environment, it will turn into a Ghost Dragon.” Fox Elder said.

“A ghost spectral creature, the Ghost Dragon?” Chu Mu was astounded.

Ghost Dragons are extremely rare creatures, said to be seen by only a handful of people over thousands of years, and nobody has ever owned a Ghost Dragon up until now!

“After turning into a Ghost Dragon, its strength certainly can’t be the same as when it was alive. In fact, after turning into a Ghost Dragon, it is almost like another race. The strength of the Ghost Dragon it turns into is determined entirely by the enemies the Azure Sky Hidden Dragon killed while alive.” Fox Elder said.

Fox Elder knew that these words were hard for Chu Mu to understand, so he continued to explain more in detail, “The Dragon Soul Bead on Little Hiding Dragon’s forehead is like a Soul Gathering Bead. Every time Little Hiding Dragon kills an enemy, unless the enemy’s soul is completely shattered, the soul of the enemy will be absorbed into the Soul Gathering Bead. From birth to death, the souls of all enemies killed by the Azure Sky Hidden Dragon will be condensed in this Dragon Soul Bead. Once the Azure Sky Hidden Dragon dies, the soul of the Azure Sky Hidden Dragon itself will merge with these dead souls, transforming into a Ghost Dragon of another race. The strength of the Ghost Dragon is not related to the Azure Sky Hidden Dragon itself, but is directly proportional to the number of enemies it killed while alive and their strengths.”

“A Soul Gathering Bead, there is actually such a unique thing. And it’s also the first time I’ve heard that the ghost spectral emperor-level creatures are born this way.” Chu Mu was continuously amazed. If it weren’t for Fox Elder’s explanation, Chu Mu might never have known about the use of this Dragon Soul Bead.

“Hehe, Young Master, don’t think it’s that simple. The chances of Azure Sky Hidden Dragon successfully turning into a Ghost Dragon are extremely, extremely low. This requires a combination of various external conditions and its own conditions, and also to die…at the right time. Humans don’t know this secret. If it weren’t for me and my previous master witnessing a Dragon Race with a Dragon Soul Bead turning into a Ghost Dragon, I wouldn’t know either.” Fox Elder said.

Chu Mu had been constantly enriching his knowledge of various Soul Pets, but the knowledge of Soul Pets was as vast as the ocean, and even the entire human civilization could not fully understand everything about Soul Pets.

“Since it happens after death, the significance of this Dragon Soul Bead doesn’t sound that great to me at present.” Chu Mu might have marveled at the birth of the Ghost Dragon, but he certainly wouldn’t let Little Hiding Dragon die and turn into a Ghost Dragon.

“Hehe~” Fox elder suddenly chuckled cunningly.

When Fox Elder chuckled that way, Chu Mu knew that the Dragon Soul Bead was not necessarily a useless racial skill!

“Can Little Hiding Dragon convert these souls into its own power?” Chu Mu immediately asked.

Fox Elder shook his head and spoke to Chu Mu, “An Azure Sky Hidden Dragon belongs to both the insect and beast species. There’s no way it could manifest ghost lineage skills.”

“So how can these gathered spirits be transformed into power?” Chu Mu asked.

“Young Master, how could you have forgotten about attribute training?” Fox Elder exclaimed.

“Attribute training? The attributes of the netherworld can also be trained onto living beings?” Chu Mu was taken aback.

In the past, Little Mo Xie’s fire attribute was curated through Chu Mu’s training, otherwise Mo Xie would have continued to possess demon spirit and beast attributes.

However, it’s generally recommended to be very cautious when imposing additional attributes because different Soul Pets of differing races possess unique traits. Strengthening according to these traits allows the full potential of a Soul Pet to be realized.

Moreover, if that Soul Pet does not have any inherent skills in a certain attribute, forcing an additional attribute will definitely fail. Even if the Soul Pet has some talents, the process will unquestionably consume huge resources.

As Mo Xie is capable of continuous mutation, Chu Mu had hoped it would acquire a fire attribute to bolster its attacking capabilities. This forced addition allowed Little Mo Xie to successfully mutate into the Evil Flame Six-Tail Demon Fox, who possesses a talent for the fire attribute. If it had stayed a Moonlight Fox, the forced addition of the fire attribute would have been less significant.

Chu Mu knew all attributes could be forcefully added, but he had never heard of the Ghost, Corpse, and Specter attributes – the three undead types – being forcefully added too. After all, the undead are inanimate objects and not as easily bonded with living beings as elements.

“The success rate is low, but it is absolutely possible. As long as Young Master has enough Ghost attribute spirit items, the Azure Sky Hidden Dragon only possesses two attributes. Once it reaches the Tenth Rank, it will practically be unparalleled within Emperor Level. If another attribute could be added, particularly the bizarre Ghost attribute, it might even aspire to reach beyond the Emperor level upon reaching the Tenth Rank. Very few people possess a genuine Azure Sky Hidden Dragon, and those that do won’t add extra attributes. If Young Master has faith in my audacious deduction, then take this unique path of adding a Ghost attribute. With the existence of the Soul Concentration Bead, a little hiding dragon with a ghost attribute will be absolutely invincible – even surpassing its old man!” Fox Elder said with full confidence.

“Touching beyond the Emperor level…” Chu Mu was somewhat excited upon hearing it!

Chu Mu also knew that Little Hiding Dragon is not yet a genuine Azure Sky Hidden Dragon. It merely inherited the bloodline and would need some strengthening before it could truly transform into an Azure Sky Hidden Dragon.

The opponent Chu Mu was likely to face was the existence of the Soul Alliance that surpasses the Emperor. Therefore, being invincible within the Emperor level was not enough. Fox Elder’s sudden proposal of such a bold and unprecedented strengthening path made Chu Mu waver!

To enhance a sub-attribute, assuming the Soul Pet innately possessed the talent, would require an expenditure of additional 0.5 to 1 times the resources. If it had no inherent talent, the imposition of a sub-attribute required about 2 times the resources. If the Specter attribute was to become a main attribute, it would require 6 times the resources.

Assuming a Soul Pet was of intermediate Emperor rank, “1 time the resources” referred to all the spirit items needed to enhance the Soul Pet from Servant level to intermediate Emperor rank.

The spirit items required before reaching Emperor level were tolerable and acceptable, but after reaching the Emperor level, they were rarely found.

“I need to think about this…” The mention of using multiples of resources made Chu Mu a bit overwhelmed.

If Little Dragon was an intermediate Emperor, the Ghost Attribute, at the very least, must become a sub-attribute for it to be effective. To add this sub-attribute, Chu Mu would have to expend resources equivalent to strengthening two intermediate Emperors!

As for becoming a main attribute, six times the resources meant Chu Mu could enhance six intermediate Emperors!

Six times the resources were required to grant a Soul Pet another main attribute. Finding the right resources was already difficult, and the increased demand would inevitably cause the price to rise. Such a condition would break even the wealthiest Soul Pet Master.

“Young Master, please consider it carefully. As for the role of main and sub-attributes, you can refer to Little Fox. Little Fox’s original species ranking is Monarch. It has two main attributes: Beast type and Demon Spirit type, and a sub-attribute: Fire. With this, Little Fox’s combat power level is comparable to a low-grade Emperor.”

“Intermediate emperor-level spirit items have a chance of being found, but when it comes to high-level Emperors and peak Emperors, Young Master might not know where to look, so to go further is nearly impossible. However, developing multiple main attributes is an avenue. The initial investment is massive and can easily drag down the Soul Pet Master, but if you can persevere, you will gradually gain great advantages when reaching intermediate and high-level Emperors.”

An attribute should be added during a Soul Pet’s growth process, preferably during the first stage of its metamorphosis. It’s also acceptable during the second metamorphosis, but it would not be wise to exceed the third stage before adding the attribute; even if a secondary attribute was added then, the effects would be substantially weaker.

Fox Elder’s words left Chu Mu smiling bitterly, realizing that no matter how rich he was, it was never enough for the Soul Pets to squander.

…

“Roar!!!!!!”

The little hiding dragon was still happily killing within the servant-level regiments; probably over a thousand servant-level creatures had died under its claws.

But Little Hiding Dragon, which was thoroughly enjoying itself, certainly did not realize that its master was having a headache over whether or not to add a Ghost attribute to it.
