Chapter 278 - Hatched a Void Spirit
Chapter 278: Hatched a Void Spirit
Its growth potential had indeed reached the Mid-tier Emperor.
It only had one Rare-grade talent and one Ordinary-grade talent. That could only mean that this Void Spirit could only be considered above average in the entire race of Void Spirits.
Its high growth potential could only mean that its upper limit was high.
If it did not meet the requirements, its various talents would definitely be strong.
There were geniuses among the Black Iron-grade Demonized Sparrow, and mediocre geniuses among the Platinum-grade Azure Eagle.
This was the cruel bloodline shackle.
Lugh was able to raise his pet’s talent and forcefully raise his pet’s growth potential because the system helped him cheat.
What Lugh valued was not the Void Spirit’s skills or the Void Spirit’s growth potential.
It was its spatial talent.
Spatial beasts were too rare.
After coming to this world for so long, Lugh had never seen a spatial beast.
Not only Lugh, the other members of the Emergency Response Team often went on missions in the Southwest Region. However, most of them had never seen a spatial beast before.
Moreover, an Emperor-level Fierce Beast egg was indeed a valuable treasure to the Southwest Military.
The strongest person in the Southwest, Paul, was also a King-tier Beast Master.
Only after the King-level was the Emperor-level.
Didn’t he want this Void Spirit?
He definitely did.
“Now, I’ll hand it over to you.” Paul solemnly handed the Fierce Beast egg to Lugh. “I hope you can make good use of its power.”
“I will.”
“Sign the contract.”
“Okay!”
Paul patted Lugh’s shoulder and forced a smile. He opened the door and walked out of the room.
When he left the room, he also closed the door.
Lugh looked at the door with some confusion.
“Paul is reluctant.” Bania took a puff of his cigarette and said with some emotion.
“Then why doesn’t General Paul want it?”
“He’s not confident.”
Lugh shook his head and said, “I don’t think General Paul is the kind of person who lacks confidence.”
“It’s okay to tell you the truth. It’s not a secret anyway. Many old Beast Masters in Skylight City know about it.”
Bania’s expectations paused for a moment, and he looked at the sky outside the window, he said slowly, “General Paul’s pet beast betrayed him back then. This matter should still have some impact on him. In addition, this Fierce Beast egg is a little precious. We did pay a price back then. Also, don’t look at how powerful spatial-type pet beasts are, but they’re very difficult to nurture. It might take decades or even a hundred years to nurture them. General Paul is getting old, and it’s no longer suitable.”
In order to nurture regular pet beasts, in addition to fighting, they would also need to be fed with Fierce Beast essence crystals of the same attribute.
They would also need to use nutrient fluids targeted at the pet beasts of different elements to speed up the growth of their pets.
The ingredients of these nutrient fluids were very complicated, and they belonged to the specialty of pet cultivation.
In this world where Fierce Beasts were rampant, in order to help Beast Masters nurture outstanding and powerful pets, one of the important branches of Fierce Beast science, pet cultivation, had already developed into a huge discipline.
According to the pet beast form, pet culture could be subdivided into three major branches: animal, elemental, plant, and special.
According to the pet beast attribute, it could also be subdivided into more than branches: fire, water, earth, wood, wind, lightning, and ice.
There were even some specialties that had already been subdivided into research and cultivation for a particular species, such as the Black-Gold Eagle and the Azure Eagle…
In the Pavilion of Treasures, there was a cultivation drug specially developed for the Azure Eagle that was never available on the market.
Even if one could find it, without the support of a powerful force, an ordinary person would not be able to afford it.
Lugh also understood Paul’s many concerns.
Firstly, he was afraid that he would not be able to control the Emperor-tier pet, and all his previous efforts would go down the drain.
Secondly, he was afraid that his lifespan was limited and the cultivation progress was too slow.
With General Paul’s strength, he definitely had the potential to grow an Emperor-tier pet.
What he should do now was to think of a way to raise the Emperor-tier pet in his hands to Emperor-tier, becoming an Emperor-tier Beast Master, and extending its lifespan instead of raising a Low-tier Black Iron space-type pet that he was extremely good friends with to Emperor-tier.
“Of course, don’t feel too pressured.”
“I won’t.”
“That’s good, let’s start now.”
“Yes.”
Lugh glanced at the long knife on Bania’s waist and asked, “Captain, can I borrow your long knife?”
“Here!”
Bania did not ask about it and directly handed the knife to Lugh.
He took out the long knife. The blade was snow-white and looked like the teeth of a Fierce Beast.
He placed his finger on the edge of the knife and used it. After a dull rubbing, his skin was cut and blood oozed out.
The Berserk Bear with the Immortal Body talent was not invincible.
Its defense also had an upper limit.
“Good kid, your skin is really thick,” Bania ridiculed.
Lugh smiled and then solemnly smeared fresh blood on the Void Spirt egg.
A formation appeared under his feet. Lugh stretched out his hand and tried to feel the life in the egg shell.
The young Void Spirit did not resist much and agreed to the contract.
Crack!
A soft sound appeared from the egg and the egg shell cracked.
A gray smoke emerged from within the egg shell.
The smoke condensed and did not disperse. It was ethereal and seemed somewhat unreal.
However, Lugh knew that this was a Void Spirit.
He glanced at the loyalty of the Void Spirit and saw that it was only 80.
It was clearly Lugh who hatched it, and the first person he saw was Lugh. However, its loyalty was only 80, which was indeed a little low.
Emperor-grade pet beasts with great potential were indeed not easy to control.
However, against such a pet beast with great potential and a high personality, Lugh had a trump card.
At this moment, the system notification sounded.
[Ding! Congratulations host for signing the fifth pet that you are satisfied with. Mission completed.]
Lugh hurriedly said in his heart, “The reward will be temporarily suspended.”
Seeing the black fog, Bania sighed, “So this is a Void Spirit. It is indeed very rare. In the entire history of the Illumination Empire Federation, there have only been a few of them.”
Lugh asked doubtfully, “Didn’t the commander know that this is a Void Spirit before?”
“Of course not. We only know that it’s a spatial type beast with the potential of an Emperor.” Bania smiled. “This beast egg wasn’t discovered by us. We were the ones who snatched it… With our strength.”
“Where did you get it?”
The Southwest Army was already the strongest force in the Illumination Empire.
It was very rare for them to be able to snatch it at a certain price.
It was impossible for them to openly fight among themselves.
“Cough, cough.” Bania coughed and pointed to the Southwest. “Our neighbor… Don’t talk nonsense about this matter. We did it very cleanly back then.”
“Understood, understood.” Lugh nodded repeatedly.
“You can go back.” Bania walked out of the conference room with a teacup in his hand. “I’ll go and see General Paul.”
Lugh looked at the Void Spirit. It floated in front of Lugh. It had no eyes and no mouth. It was just a mass of gray fog.
Lugh put it back into the familiar space and left the Southwest Military Headquarters.
They boarded the military vehicle and left Skylight City. The Stormhawk brought them out of the range of Skylight City and came to a desolate place.
Only then did Lugh release the Void Spirit.
He stretched out his hand, and the Void Spirit slowly approached him and stuck to his hand.
The Void Spirit was in a semi-materialized state, but his hand could not penetrate it.
Perhaps this was the origin of its name.
Lugh whispered to the void spirit, “Little guy, since you are now my pet beast, let me give you a gift.”
The Void Spirit escaped from his hand and floated in front of him.
Through telepathy, Lugh knew that the Void Spirit understood his words and looked at him curiously.
Lugh reached out his hand and gently grabbed the Void Spirit, “Relax. Open your mind and accept the gift I gave you.”
The Void Spirit listened to him and slowly relaxed.
It gradually expanded from the gray fog the size of a basketball into a faint white fog, like cotton candy.
Lugh said to the system, “Receive the reward.”
[Ding! Reward your Pet Void Spirit with a Myth-Tier talent — Space Distortion.]
[Space Distortion (Myth): This space-type pet beast has an extraordinary ability to distort space. It is easier to comprehend space-distorting skills. All space-distorting skills will be greatly enhanced.]
Space Distortion?
This talent was a little beyond Lugh’s imagination.
Compared to the Rainbow-Colored Glazed Psychedelic Butterfly’s Spirit Domination talent, it had a wider range of applications.
