The sun was beginning to set, casting a golden glow over Lu Fan's thriving farm. The success of his recent experiments with the buffaloes had filled him with a sense of pride and anticipation. As he walked through the fields, observing the animals grazing contentedly, he couldn't help but wonder what new opportunities lay ahead.
His thoughts were interrupted when a courier arrived at the farm, carrying a letter sealed with the emblem of the regional Beast Taming Academy. Lu Fan took the letter and quickly broke the seal, curious about what news it might contain.
As he read the letter, his eyes widened with excitement.
"To all esteemed Beast Tamers in the region,
We are pleased to announce the discovery of a new realm—The Sky Feather Realm—recently opened near our region. This realm is home to a wide variety of avian beasts, many of which possess unique abilities and rare evolutionary paths.
Due to the specific environment and challenges within this realm, only Beast Tamers who possess a Level 2 or higher beast are eligible to enter.
Additionally, tamers are encouraged to form a pact with an avian beast before entering the realm, as many of the challenges within are best navigated with the aid of a bird-type companion.
We welcome all qualified Beast Tamers to seize this opportunity to explore, capture, and evolve new avian beasts. The Sky Feather Realm will be accessible for a limited time, so act swiftly!"
Lu Fan's heart raced as he finished reading the letter. A new realm, filled with avian beasts, had opened up near his region. The prospect of exploring this mysterious new world was thrilling, and the fact that entry required a Level 2 beast meant that he was already qualified to participate, thanks to Buck's recent evolution.
However, the letter also emphasized the importance of forming a pact with an avian beast before entering the realm. While Buck was a formidable companion, the unique environment of the Sky Feather Realm required the abilities of a bird to fully navigate its challenges.
Preparing for the Sky Feather Realm
Lu Fan knew he needed to act quickly if he wanted to take full advantage of this opportunity. With Buck by his side, he was confident in his abilities, but the search for a suitable avian companion became his top priority.
That evening, Lu Fan began researching the various bird species that were known to reside in the region. He needed a bird that not only had the potential for growth and evolution but also possessed skills that would complement Buck's strengths.
As he delved into his research, Lu Fan's mind kept returning to the possibilities within the Sky Feather Realm. This realm, unlike the Training Realm he had previously explored, promised a new level of challenge and reward. The avian beasts within were said to possess abilities that could be vital in both combat and exploration, making them invaluable partners for any Beast Tamer.
Seeking an Avian Companion
The next day, Lu Fan set out for the local markets and beast trading centers, where he hoped to find a young bird with the potential to become his next companion. The markets were bustling with activity, as many tamers were also preparing for the Sky Feather Realm.
After carefully examining several birds, Lu Fan's attention was drawn to a young Leghorn Chicken. The chicken's white feathers were pristine, and it had a lively, intelligent look in its eyes. Though often overlooked for its common appearance, Lu Fan sensed that this Leghorn Chicken had untapped potential that could be valuable in the challenges ahead.
He approached the vendor, who immediately recognized Lu Fan as the owner of the now-famous breeding farm. The vendor offered Lu Fan a fair price for the Leghorn Chicken, knowing that it would be well cared for under his ownership.
After making the purchase, Lu Fan spent some time bonding with the chicken, establishing a connection that would be essential for their future partnership. As he interacted with the bird, he used his Identify ability to reveal its potential.
