"Name": shadow lizard
"Element": shadow
"Species rank": superior
"Species level": The ones available range from awakened level 1 to awakened level 4.
"Species skills": Shadow sneak, shadow pounce, shadow claw.
"Species potential": average potential is orange tier S.
"Description": A black lizard that lives in damp areas with as little light as possible. They are master assassins possessing incredible speed and powerful control over shadows. Despite their high potential they are not considered to be top tier beasts due to one problem, their incredible pride. Shadow lizards are more prideful than even some commander rank cubs. The current best known evolution is to evolve the shadow lizard to the assassin lizard, one of the most powerful commander rank beasts.
"Preferences": It has not yet been confirmed if Shadow lizards have any special preferences and it is this in combination with their prideful nature that the amount of students that have managed to tame one can be counted on one hand.
"No wonder this one wasn't at the top of the list. Its pride makes it nearly impossible for newbie trainers to tame it, luckily that's not a problem for me. With the Lizard love oil, now time to purchase the recipe."
As David called up his shop he pressed on the purchase button. After he did he saw a coupon floating in front of him disappear into his shop and a blinding light emerge from the interface. As he looked at the light it suddenly launched into his head as he felt how information flooded his brain.
"Lizard love oil": Take 25 mg of tree toad oil, crush 40 mg of healing wood and start boiling together with the tree toad oil at 236 F. After the combined ingredients turn into a bluish green colour add 12 mg of golden rat blood and boil for 1 minute. After completing store air tight and use 2-3 drops on your body when you wish to use.
"Interesting, the ingredients required for the Lizard love oil are fairly cheap and it isn't very difficult to make either. Now the only problem is how I'm supposed to get these materials by tomorrow. But wait, couldn't I just purchase them from the system shop with my remaining energy points."
David continued to purchase materials and attempt to make the potion during the entire night, continuing until morning the next day. In the morning he walked out of his small apartment with a small vial of oil in his pocket and dark circles under his eyes as he started making his way towards the school.
"Damn it, it took the entire night and all my remaining energy points but at least I managed to make one vial of the Lizard love oil."
Once he arrived most of the other students were already lined up in front of the school gate as the principal was explaining what was going to happen.
"Students! All of the classes will board one of the buses and your respective teachers will explain the rules of today one last time."
After explaining this the principal had a long speech about how important it was for all of the students to cultivate properly to ensure that they could become proper beastmasters and protect the country. Once his speeche was finished all the students including David finally started to board their respective bus, whilst the teachers began explaining the rules.
"After the buss arrives at the breeding station there will be multiple fields with different elements all containing many enclosures for different species. As I've said before you will all be given two chances to attempt a beast taming contract and if you fail you'll be forced to buy your first pet beast yourself. If you've purchased resources or other items to help in establishing the beast contract that is allowed, however the items must be below tier V as otherwise it would be to unfair for the ones that don't have enough money to buy resources."
When the teacher finished explaining the rules the students started discussing which beasts they would attempt to tame.
"I'm gonna try to tame the lightning eagle."
"I'm attempting the ice wolf." "Since I have a fire affinity innate talent I'm taming a fire ant."
Whilst everyone was discussing what beast they were going to tame David Jones was instead attempting to cultivate since he didn't have enough time the day before.
As he was cultivating he could feel how the arcane energy from the air was being transported to the same spot that he felt during his awakening. During his cultivation he noticed how this small amount of energy was slowly growing every second that he continued.
When humans cultivate they increase the size of the arcane energy in their body and when they break through they refine that larger amount of energy back to the original size but with greater power. Every time that humans break through their beastmaster space is also affected by their more potent arcane energy and therefore grows, allowing for them to tame one more beast after every breakthrough.
After cultivating for a few hours David was finally awoken by the teachers voice.
"We have now arrived at the breading base!You are all allowed to go to any of the areas to look for and tame beasts, but remember, only two chances each!"
After the teacher said this they were let of the buss and could finally see the breading base. In front of them was a huge building with many entrances, all of wich had a sign that stated the area it led to.
Once David saw the building, he couldn't help but be awestruck. However he quickly calmed down and instead started searching for the habitat of the shadow lizard.
"Alright, it's time to get my first pet beast. Fire habitat, lightning habitat, aquatic habitat. Finally, the darkness habitat.
Having found the right path he began walking into the darkness habitat. Once he was inside the environment was incredibly unique. There was essentially no light inside and it was also very damp. After he had looked around for a few minutes he quickly started heading towards the shadow lizard enclosure.
A few minutes later he arrived at a small field with a instructor standing in front of it.
"A student who wants to try and tame the Shadow lizard huh."
"Excuse me sir, what do I have to do to be allowed a attempt at taming a shadow lizard?"
"There's nothing special that you need to do, just write down your name on the list and go in to try your luck."
Having heard that the process is very simple David respectfuly bowed and went to write down his name. Before he could though he was stopped by the instructor.
"Hey kiddo, I wouldn't recommend trying to tame a shadow lizard. There're way to prideful, especially for someone that is just at the beginning of the first stage."
David looked at the worried senior and respectfully said.
"Don't worry, if I fail I have another chance."
The senior looked at this energetic junior and sighed.
"Sure, go ahead I guess."
The senior shakes his head.
"There are always the ones that think they are special."
David enters the enclosure and begins looking for the shadow lizard he's goin to chose, as he's looking at all of the completely black lizards that are almost invisible, he finally notices one that catches his eye.
"Name": Shadow Lizard
"Element": shadow
"Species rank": superior
"Species level": awakened level 2
"Species skills": Shadow sneak, shadow pounce, shadow claw, shadow bite.
"Species potential": Red A tier
"Description": A type of lizard that enjoys spending time in damp and dark environments, they avoid other creatures unless they are hunting, they are incredibly prideful, but also loyal. They are pitch black and are great assassins, as well as being proficient at using the shadow element. They have a thread of the bloodline from the ancient dragon of darkness.
"Preferences": They dislike people, but they are fond of dragon/darkness dual type items. As long as you approach carefully and slowly, whilst not acting prideful, it's not to difficult to tame them.
This was very interesting, not only did shadow lizards actually have a sliver of dragon blood, but the reason that there was no known preference, was that it had to be a dragon/darkness dual type material.
As David started approaching the small black lizard it looked incredibly weary. He then finally opened his small vial of lizard love oil and put a drop on his wrist.
Once the lizard smelled the oil, it started approaching, but it was approaching very slowly, as if it was still not convinced.
Once the Black lizard reached him, he finally reached out his hand and by using his arcane energy telepathically asked it if it wanted to form a contract.
The lizard is hesitant, but eventually agrees, and once it does, David puts his hand on its head and starts forming the contract.
After a few seconds he feels a connection between himself and the lizard, as he hears a weak female voice in his head.
"Chirp?: Master? ( ‧ ◇ ‧ )?
