BXBX NOVEL Chapter 233 - 227: Contract Limitations
“Rumbling!!!”
Having barely made it through the first two levels and planning to continue her search for Beasts to battle, Margaret Yule felt the earth beneath her feet wailing incessantly, followed by a violent tremor.
“What’s going on?” Margaret Yule blinked her beautiful eyes and became much more cautious in her steps forward.
“Bluny, watch out for enemies around us!”
At her right hand, an Azurefrost Falcon with a silver-blue head, white feathers on its back and wings, and blue triangular markings around its eyes was vigilantly guarding its Trainer from all directions.
This was a top-grade Elite Species – the Frost Falcon – with middle-level Class
II strength and the evolved form of the Superior Species, the Blue Star’s Azurefrost Falcon.
If not for the limitation of her Class II Arcane Star, Margaret Yule would have long evolved her Frost Falcon into the Commander Species, the Ice and Wind Dual-element “Wind Frost Falcon,” according to her family’s secret evolutionary path.
However, when the Trainer and Pet are of equal strength, a Beast with a Species Level more than two levels higher than the Trainer’s Arcane Star Cultivation will suppress the Trainer’s power, and the restraint of the Beast Taming Contract on the Pet will be reduced to a minimum, even enough to allow the Pet to unilaterally tear up the contract.
Simply put, excluding the special innate talents of awakened Trainers, a Class I Arcane Star can contract a Superior Species Beast up to two levels higher at most. A Class II Arcane Star can contract an Elite Species at most, and so on. A Class III Arcane Star can contract a Commander Species, and a Class IV Arcane Star is required to contract a King Species.
There is no alternative. For early-stage Trainers with weak abilities, the higher the Species Level of the Beast, the greater the gap in the nature of life between humans and Beasts, making it harder for the two to gain mutual recognition.
Perhaps a Trainer can forcibly conclude a Beast Taming Contract while the Beast is in its weak Fresh phase, but as the young beasts grow in strength, Trainers who have not maintained a consistent power gap or gained the recognition of their Beasts during this period mostly die from the backlash of their Pets forcibly breaking the Contract.”
In countless tragic examples, the Blue Star Trainers eventually realize that the higher the life level of the Beasts with higher Species Levels, the more pride they bring to their inner hearts.
This pride is akin to humans who are high and mighty not willing to submit to ants that could be crushed underfoot in their eyes.
For this reason, only human Strong Ones who have reached a certain level of Arcane Star cultivation on the Blue Star gain the recognition of powerful Beasts. Likewise, most powerful Trainers only seek to gaze at higher-level
Species Beasts.
Therefore, although Margaret Yule feels that her initial Pet Frost Falcon has been completely tamed, she still dares not evolve it into a Commander Species.
Bloody examples within the family warn the descendants that Trainers who die at the mouths of their Pets are fools who think they have established a perfect bond with their Pets.
As a result, even if there is only a one in ten thousand chance, she still dares not let the Frost Falcon evolve, thus entrusting her life and death to her Pet’s whims.
As the Trainer and Pet slowly proceeded, a sudden gust of bone-chilling wind blew toward them, and Margaret Yule couldn’t help but shiver.
Looking at the ice-covered field in the distance, she found more than a dozen examinees standing still in front of her for a long time.
“Strange, why are they all just standing here?” Intrigued, Margaret Yule strode forward, and her pupils suddenly constricted.
“What is this?”
In front of her, the road had already collapsed into pieces, leaving only a huge dark hole with a diameter of several kilometers.
Margaret Yule walked to the edge of the cliff and looked down, only to see countless broken ice crystals in a bottomless abyss, and even she, who prided herself on having seen the world, couldn’t help but swallow hard.
“Could it be that there was a battle involving Class V Commander-level beasts here on the third floor of the labyrinth?”
Her heart skipped a beat, and the image of David Jones unconsciously surfaced in her mind. She then clenched her teeth and jumped towards the ice-covered cliff.
“Bluny, let’s go.”
“Yes!”
In the astonished eyes of the examinees, the Frost Falcon transformed into a blue and white light, catching the Trainer, and then flying down to the next layer.
At this moment, in the surveillance room of Rosewood College.
A blinding white light on the big screen flashed by. Looking at the beast that had been defeated within an instant and David Jones cautiously making the final blow, Serena Ancientface’s pretty face suddenly stiffened, her throat seemingly blocked by something, unable to make a sound. She only felt the slap in the face came too fast, making her cheeks feel hot.
Even the teachers from Rosewood College who were responsible for selecting talented students couldn’t believe it and cast their fiery gaze on David Jones, followed by silence.
The scene was quiet.
If the teachers just now were watching out of curiosity or simply for fun to confirm the talent and rumored abilities of Director Hoyle’s new disciple, there were only six words that could describe their thoughts at this moment, “This boy is terrifying!”
“Director Hoyle really has unique insights; he found such a terrifyingly talented Beast-Taming Genius from a Level III city like Waterland City! No, considering the shocking blow just now, this young man can barely be considered a Beast Taming Strong One already!”
An affable looking, medium-sized teacher with black rimmed glasses suddenly had this thought in his mind, and couldn’t help but feel envious when he looked at Professor Harvey.
After a while, Serena Ancientface broke the silence in the surveillance room.
She pursed her lips, uncertainly saying: “The power of that Ice Tornado just now seemed to be on par with a Level IV Heavenly Missile!”
A Level IV Heavenly Missile is powerful enough to wipe out hundreds of Class IV beasts in a large-scale Beast Tide at once, even surpassing the full power of a Class V lower-level pet’s attack.
However, the skills released by pets cannot cover the same large area as a Heavenly Missile, which directly covers everything within a hundred miles. Upon hearing this, Audrey Harvey stared closely at the boy on the screen, her red lips slightly open.
“It’s not that exaggerated, although the power of the dozens of Ice Tornadoes erupting together did reach Class V lower-level, the coverage of their attack is only at most one-tenth of a Level IV Heavenly Missile.
At Wen Yan’s words, Serena’s full chest couldn’t help but heave rapidly.
“Is this real?”
A Class III upper-level Frost Wyvern capable of defeating a small-scale Beast Tide composed of Class IV beasts in one strike was an exaggerated, ridiculous, and legendary story that was beyond anyone’s comprehension in the Beast Taming field.
Moreover, if the Frost Wyvern raised by David Jones could indeed produce the same range and power as a Level IV Heavenly Missile when it reached Class III upper-level, she believed that the Trainer Guild would train David Jones into an Epic-level or higher strongman, even if it meant squandering high-level
