Su Bai was beginning to feel overwhelmed, his control over things had waned a bit; now he was feeling uneasy.
He would prefer to contract a beast with greater potential as his second pet, though evolution points cannot be distributed evenly. Therefore, he must focus on training one or two attack pets.
If the pet's potential is higher than expected, you can save some evolution points, distribute them freely, and focus on accomplishing great feats.
Su Bai suddenly pondered, "What if I could access the data on these caterpillars?" she wondered.
Su Bai opened his eyes wide and focused on the iron-beaked sparrow in front of him; only this bird, blazing with white light, responded to him; the rest of the caterpillars did not.
Su Bai muttered, puzzled by the system's insistence on contractable beasts. There was no need for her to believe what the system had told him; there was no need for it to deceive him.
Su Bai lowered his head as the caterpillar that had pierced him wriggled at his feet.
This caterpillar's entire body exudes a faint golden sheen.
[(Name)]: Phantom Butterfly Larva.
[Current Level]: Childhood
[Status]: Contractable
Such seemingly innocuous information set off a chain reaction within Su Bai that would affect her forever.
Phantom Butterfly!
Ultra-rare beast!
A full phantom butterfly can reach the gold level. Although its attack power may not be high, this beast possesses an uncommon ability.
Phantom Dust.
Records suggest that when Phantom Butterfly encounters danger, it will spread dust around to confuse enemy perception and render itself invisible - so much so that even advanced instruments cannot trace or capture a trace!
Combatting pets involves two methods; direct combat is the preferred approach and usually results in victory.
Second is projection, which transfers the ability of the pet directly onto the beastmaster so he/she can gain unparalleled combat power!
Unfortunately, the beastmaster can only project one pet at a time.
Phantom Butterfly and Phantom Dust have the unique power to project themselves out of your body; in fact, if desired, you could even perform a counter-kill!
Phantom Butterfly has only ever been contracted by a few select beastmasters throughout human history, and none of them has ever failed! All are top assassins who never hesitate to strike fear into the hearts of their targets! No one dares provoke them!
Su Bai's world had changed. after 16 years of hard work, her character finally shined through today.
Not only has the system awakened and entered the black iron level, but it has also encountered an incredibly rare beast: The Phantom Butterfly!
Though still in its early stages, with careful cultivation you can transform a cocoon into an incredible asset! Once that cocoon turns into a butterfly, you'll have your very own powerful trump card!
Su Bai couldn't help but sing a song as she contemplated the possibilities that lay ahead.
"Contract!"
Su Bai did not hesitate to use her second battle pet quota against the Phantom Butterfly Larvae.
Immediately thereafter, the caterpillar's data panel changed.
[(Name)]: Phantom Butterfly Larva
Current Level]: Childhood
[Talent]: Phantom Dust (Legend).
[Skill]: Pain Venom (Normal).
"Congratulations! Your contract has been fulfilled, level synchronization completed and the cocoon state entered!"
Another beep was heard. Su Bai turned her attention toward the ground and observed that the round larvae had been wrapped in silk threads, remaining motionless.
At the same time, the data panel has also undergone significant modifications.
[(Name)]: Phantom Butterfly
Current Status: Transforming cocoon into a butterfly (12 hours remaining).
Current Level: Black Iron Lower
Current Experience Rating: Zero Out of 100
[Talent]: Phantom Dust (Legend).
[Skill]: Pain Venom (Normal).
Su Bai was once again taken aback, having suddenly transformed from a juvenile to an imperious black iron subordinate!
Phantom Dust truly lived up to its name as an extraordinary talent!
The speed talent of the Iron Beak Sparrow is one level higher.
Su Bai couldn't help but make an uncharacteristically bold guess.
His pets are unique; they don't need to be nurtured separately; only one needs upgrading, and all others will automatically follow suit!
But isn't this an overstatement?
You must understand that ordinary beastmasters typically only cultivate one or two combat-type pets due to the high cost and limited selection. Unfortunately, it takes a considerable amount of time for these masters to become successful at cultivating these pets.
To upgrade a pet, the pet must fight continuously, devour the beast spar to obtain energy and accumulate points until a certain level is reached. Unfortunately, this process takes an incredibly long time!
Given that the acquisition speed of the spar remains approximately unchanged, cultivating a second pet may take an extended period.
Furthermore, although pets are controlled by their beastmaster, these beasts are relatively hard to kill; otherwise, the expansion of federal territory would not be so slow.
Beasts possess an intense fighting instinct, often leading them to attack in groups and eventually kill their master if he fails to exercise caution.
"How wonderful!" Su Bai exclaimed with enthusiasm.
No matter when he upgrades to a higher level, with this level of synchronization he is already more powerful than 99.9% of beastmasters!
Su Bai is confident about his future prospects with many pets and an impressive level of proficiency.
At this moment, the iron-beaked bird had finally filled its stomach and gracefully returned to Su Bai's shoulders.
