Chapter 137: Limit-Breaking Seed, Breaking the Five-Dimensional Attribute Limit
Mechanical Species, the most unique type among the five evolution paths. Their stamina had no upper limit; their activity time was determined by their energy levels. When their reserve energy was depleted, they would enter a dormant state, unable to unleash any more lightning, whirlwinds, or…elbow jabs.
And their most unique feature: each Mechanical Species pet beast could carry two parts-type Mechanical Species, essentially allowing them to bring two extra support pet beasts, or giving a Biological Species the advantages of a Weapon Species, without taking up any of the Beast Tamer’s contract slots. Incredibly convenient.
[Mid-Tier — Mechanical Species — Azure Shadow Device LV30]
[Talent: Expansion (Can carry three mechanical parts.)]
[Parts: None]
[Combat Skills: Electronic Pulse (Crimson), Durable Creation (Crimson), Rapid Charge (Crimson), Energy Overload (Crimson)]
[Electronic Pulse: Releases a large amount of energy, causing an electrical shock.]
[Durable Creation: After detaching, mechanical creations last longer.]
[Rapid Charge: Quickly restores 60% of energy.]
[Energy Overload: Doubles total energy capacity.]
After evolving the Azure Sky Conch into its initial Mid-Tier Mechanical Species form, Lian Xing looked at its panel, lost in thought. As expected, the Great Lord Biluo didn’t have any Green Quality combat skills.
Perhaps no Monarch-Tier pet beast in the entire Beast Tamer Alliance possessed a Green Quality combat skill.
So, the Heaven-Gracing Curtain’s extravagant act of using a Green Quality combat skill in its final, life-or-death struggle against Extinction had shocked the entire Alliance’s higher-ups.
That was a resource even Monarch-Tier pet beasts coveted…!!!
The only thing that surprised Lian Xing about this panel was—
The Great Lord Biluo, despite having the Expansion talent, the most versatile and valuable talent for Mechanical Species, hadn’t equipped any parts, essentially living for over 20,000 years as a blank slate, completely wasting one of the few advantages of Mechanical Species.
Looking at the eye mask-like Azure Shadow Device, Lian Xing couldn’t help but ask, “Where are your parts!?”
“Sold…”
“What for?”
“Marriage…” the Azure Shadow Device replied, a hint of nostalgia in its voice.
Normally, Mechanical Species didn’t have emotions, but the Great Lord Biluo was a reincarnated Monarch, so its emotions were still intact.
Hearing this, Lian Xing facepalmed.
Selling all its companion parts to marry its wife, then giving her only remaining ashes to her Mechanical Species’…
Ethics were truly bizarre…
It seemed finding new parts for it would be another huge expense…
“By the way, Master, I thought you would evolve me into a different type. I didn’t expect it to be the Mid-Tier Mechanical Species, Azure Shadow Device. I’ve almost forgotten what it was like~~~”
“You Mechanical Species don’t have memories, only data,” Lian Xing corrected it.
“My internal structure has degraded, and most of my early data is lost…”
“Well, I have my reasons. Don’t worry about adult matters, little newborn~~” With that, Lian Xing recalled the Azure Shadow Device to her pet beast space, not even giving it a chance to argue.
The fifth pet beast in her lineup, the Azure Shadow Device. The evolution path Lian Xing had planned for it was…unique…
Although this path wasn’t particularly difficult or rare…
It was the most expensive type!!!
Even after arriving in this beast-taming world, Lian Xing had only known of two people who possessed this type of pet beast.
Aurora of White Maple Academy, one of the Ten Greats of Baiyue Province.
And Hades Spear, one of the Four Divine Generals of Bimen Pass…
“Knock, knock, knock!!”
“Lian Xing, open the door! Something’s up!!!” Suddenly, Black Magpie’s urgent voice echoed from outside, and Lian Xing quickly opened the door.
The black-haired woman’s face was filled with excitement and anticipation. “Lian Xing, the top five rewards are about to be distributed! Hurry to the headquarters building!”
“I heard that this time…the rewards are different…!!!”
Hearing this, Lian Xing nodded thoughtfully.
The Beast Tamer Alliance’s end-of-season rewards were meant to boost their performance in the Interdimensional Grand Finals. Since Extinction, their trump card, was finally going to be revealed, the higher-ups would naturally provide all the resources they could to enhance their strength.
Half an hour later—
Inside a spacious hall in the Beast Tamer Alliance Headquarters building…
Lian Xing followed the “Measure Your Code” team members inside. The other teams seemed to have already arrived. Moon Princess of the Monday team, Chiyu of Inverted City, Zi Meng of Shining Girls, and Dead Ash were all present.
Lian Xing even saw the Soul Hunters captain, who was now wearing a Monday team uniform.
So…switching teams was allowed…
And as the “Measure Your Code” team arrived, everyone looked at the golden-haired girl in the center with strange expressions.
Moon Rabbit Lian Xing…this was the first time they had seen her in person.
After her battle against the Ancient Juvenile Species, the dual-Legend holder had become a sensation, her fame even surpassing Tears Maiden, Snow Sun, and Little Flower Goddess.
Although she had defeated Dead Ash and Extinction in a 5v1…gang fight…
Once her lineup fully matured, she would be even more formidable than Dead Ash.
Especially those lewd and alluring starry eyes…they gave her an aura of purity and innocence, the kind of girl who stayed home every night and was suitable for marriage…
Just then, a golden-haired woman in a phoenix coronet and xiapei walked onto the stage. Seeing her, the participants’ expressions turned to respect and admiration, except for Moon Princess, who averted her gaze.
The Vice President of the Beast Tamer Alliance, an Emperor-Tier Beast Tamer, the Hidden Moon Marquis!!!
“Ahem, it seems all five teams are here. Then let me explain.”
“There’s one month left until the Interdimensional Grand Finals.”
“Soul Hunters, Shining Girls, Monday, Inverted City…these four teams represented our Beast Tamer Alliance last year. The best result was Zi Meng’s elimination in the third round of qualifiers. All the other members were eliminated in the first two rounds~~~”
“We told everyone that we didn’t have broadcasting rights, so the rankings weren’t revealed. But actually…it was just because the rankings were too embarrassing. We didn’t want to discourage…our subordinate regions~~~” As the Hidden Moon Marquis finished speaking, the Dead Ash and “Measure Your Code” team members looked at each other in disbelief, while the members of the other three teams looked away, embarrassed.
Lian Xing and Dead Ash both glanced at Zi Meng, who remained expressionless.
Shining Girls…dominating the Beast Tamer Alliance for an entire year…and they hadn’t even passed the qualifiers?
And as the Hidden Moon Marquis continued its explanation, they finally understood the reason for Zi Meng’s elimination.
“The Interdimensional Grand Finals doesn’t have teams. All Beast Tamers compete individually, and there are no direct confrontations in the qualifiers. It’s a test of a pet beast’s individual attributes at their limits.”
“For example, last year’s three rounds of qualifiers tested Strength, Speed, and Intelligence, and each pet beast could only participate once!!”
“…”
“…”
So that’s how it is~~~ Lian Xing instantly understood.
The five rounds of the Beast Tamer Alliance Competition…they were derived from the Interdimensional Grand Finals format, forcing their participants to develop well-rounded lineups.
This qualifier format was a major obstacle for those who only focused on a single pet beast.
But for her, with her perfect lineup. It wasn’t even a challenge~~~~
Thinking of this, Lian Xing glanced at the silver-haired girl beside her.
“Don’t look at me!”
“I’ve also trained other pet beasts!!”
“I’ll look if I want to!!!” Under Dead Ash’s angry glare, Lian Xing teased her, then turned away, ignoring her.
After a moment of silence, the Hidden Moon Marquis continued, “Now, about the rewards. We originally planned to focus on developing Moon Rabbit and Dead Ash, trying to improve the Beast Tamer Alliance’s ranking, but after some discussion, we’ve decided to conduct another test based on the Grand Finals rules, then distribute the rewards based on the rankings.”
“Five teams, 35 members in total. The Limit-Breaking Seeds will be distributed based on your final rankings!!”
“…”
“…”
Limit-Breaking Seeds…!!?
The moment these words were spoken, Lian Xing’s expression froze. Dead Ash also froze, then a strange excitement flickered in her usually dull, grey eyes.
And except for these two, the other participants’ expressions were mostly confused, clearly not knowing what Limit-Breaking Seeds were.
What was the limit for a pet beast’s Arcane Arts?
3-5, because each pet beast only had 50 attribute points, and they usually had to allocate some points to fulfill certain evolution requirements, resulting in one or two fewer Arcane Arts.
And this commonly accepted answer was completely wrong…
The true answer was—
25…
Strength, Defense, Speed, Agility, Spirit, all five attributes maxed out at 50 points!!
Each Limit-Breaking Seed increased a pet beast’s attribute points by one.
Until all five attributes reached 50…this was one of the basic evolution requirements for the Ancient Species Moonlight Rabbit!!!
This had also been the only requirement that Lian Xing had been able to fulfill with just money in her previous life. She had bought a large number of Limit-Breaking Seeds from other players, each one costing only a few tens of thousands of in-game currency, easily maxing out the points.
But that had been exploiting uninformed new players.
In this real beast-taming world, the price of a Limit-Breaking Seed must be astronomical…
As the Hidden Moon Marquis explained, the participants, initially confused, now looked at each other with anticipation.
Just five Limit-Breaking Seeds, and many of their pet beasts could unlock a new Arcane Art!!!
“We’ve prepared a virtual map for this test. The Beast Tamers themselves can’t enter, only your pet beasts. You can give them commands from outside.”
“Based on the Grand Finals’ qualifier rules from the past few years, we’ve prepared four tests: Attack Power, Intelligence, Growth Potential, and Resistance to Powerful Auras.”
“The first place winner in each test will receive three Limit-Breaking Seeds, second and third place two each, fourth and fifth place one each, and the rest…nothing…”
“And all participants here will receive one Limit-Breaking Seed as a reward for reaching the top five of the season!!!”
After the rules were announced, many participants looked disappointed.
They had thought they would get a free Arcane Art, but it turned out this was a test for the elites…
Just one Limit-Breaking Seed…how could they unlock a new Arcane Art with that!?
However, unlike the others, Lian Xing, inherently selfish, was furious.
35 Limit-Breaking Seeds…just given away like that. No wonder the Beast Tamer Alliance was always ranked at the bottom of the 2nd-level regions! With such valuable resources, they should be giving them all to the strongest, to herself!!!
24 Limit-Breaking Seeds from the four tests, plus the 35 given to everyone…a total of 59 attribute points…that was enough to max out the Heaven-Gracing Curtain’s Agility and Strength!!!
“Marquis, can we buy them from other participants?” Dead Ash suddenly asked.
The Hidden Moon Marquis nodded, then shook its head, explaining, “Each pet beast can only gain 10 attribute points per year from Limit-Breaking Seeds. Consuming too many at once is useless. But you can trade them freely.”
“Don’t worry, my pet beasts have…big appetites~~~” Lian Xing interjected jokingly.
Then, she couldn’t resist asking, “If we don’t have money…can we just…take them…?”
Hearing this, everyone glared at her, some even taking a step back.
The Hidden Moon Marquis, standing on the stage, rolled its eyes.
You were a superstar now, followed by trillions of fans. You shouldn’t be talking about robbery. It would damage your image!!
Seeing the Hidden Moon Marquis’s silence, Lian Xing abandoned the idea of robbery…
But…
She was already prepared to throw a tantrum and refuse to leave after the test…
