Beast Taming: Invincible Breeder-Chapter 424 - 409: King

The Heart of Lava transformed into a furnace, and within the furnace, Flawless Crystal Steel slowly melted, covering the entire body.

After a long time, the light faded away.

The rotund, soccer ball-shaped household robot disappeared, replaced by... a handsome humanoid robot, two meters tall, with a body of crystal white Flawless Crystal Steel, a chest that released high-temperature heat like a flaming furnace, and eight retractable mechanical arms on its back.

"Handsome!"

The new evolutionary form of the Mechanical Pupil is named: ’Eight-Armed Manufacturing Robot.’

Taking advantage of the evolutionary momentum, the Mechanical Pupil also managed to break through to the Overlord level.

Li Cunxu asked, "Did you comprehend an Overlord skill?"

The Mechanical Pupil responded, "I did. My Overlord skill is called the Taunting Mechanical Shield. It can release a mental electromagnetic wave, stirring the power of the mind, causing the enemy to become enraged, shifting their attack target to only attack this shield."

"Let’s see it in action."

Li Cunxu was curious about how it would provoke someone’s anger.

He saw the eight mechanical arms dismantle into countless parts, then reassemble into a shield like a door panel, with a comical emoji on it. The emoji was modeled after the soccer ball-shaped household robot, displaying a cheeky expression, beckoning, accompanied by text made of mechanical parts saying, ’Come hit me! Come hit me now!’

Li Cunxu felt a surge of inexplicable anger and punched the Taunting Mechanical Shield, but the force was absorbed by the defensive field of the Mechanical Great Wall.

The emoji on the Taunting Mechanical Shield cheekily bounced around and twerked provocatively, with text made of mechanical parts saying, ’Is that all the strength you have? Didn’t you have enough to eat?’

Li Cunxu’s anger grew.

In truth, the emoji alone couldn’t make Li Cunxu angry, having been a keyboard warrior in his past life, this little provocation was insufficient to rile him up.

The true reason for Li Cunxu’s anger was the mental electromagnetic wave released by the Taunting Mechanical Shield, which stirred up inner fury.

After a minute, Li Cunxu regained his composure from anger.

"This skill paired with the defensive field is a perfect match. The Mechanical Pupil’s tank system is becoming more refined."

Li Cunxu reflected on himself, "However, my performance was indeed a bit poor just now. Being stronger in realm than the Mechanical Pupil that just entered the Overlord level, it’s not right to be controlled by it for a full minute."

"I’ve advanced too quickly, lacking in training, my will hasn’t kept up."

"The training of willpower should be accelerated."

Li Cunxu is very young, and no matter how hard he trains his will, it’s challenging to surpass those senior experts. Fortunately, Li Cunxu has a clever trick.

He chose to comprehend the law of the spirit—will.

With the law of will by his side, willpower would not become Li Cunxu’s weakness.

However, he couldn’t rely only on the law of will; he needed to enhance his willpower himself.

Li Cunxu’s method of training his will: spend a great deal of money to buy Suggestion Grass seeds, plant the grass, and consume it.

Suggestion Grass can’t directly boost willpower; it only aids in its enhancement.

This grass has a nickname, ’Three-Day Torment Grass,’ which, once consumed, subjects the user to torture-like effects for three consecutive days; there’s no antidote, and only after enduring three days does the effect wear off.

To train his willpower, Li Cunxu was willing to risk it all.

Out of seven days in a week, he endured the torment of Suggestion Grass for six days and rested for the seventh day. After all, humans aren’t machines; endless torment would drive one mad. On his day off, he also prepared the Blood Banquet Holy Meal for juniors at the university to earn some credits.

In addition, as Li Cunxu suffered, he also worked on comprehending the law of will which he bought at an auction.

However, every time the pain struck, he would forget about comprehending the law of will.

Fortunately, Li Cunxu didn’t press himself hard to fully comprehend the law of will, just gaining a superficial understanding, so when the time came, the Overlord’s fortune would naturally enable him to comprehend it fully.

While training his will, Li Cunxu also didn’t forget the matter of cultivating Overlord Shells.

Xiaoruan blew the Noise Space Whistle every day, summoning Noise Eels. As before, Xiaoruan handled the Noise Eels below King level, while Li Shiji dealt with those above.

With the Noise Eels selflessly serving as fertilizer, the Ten Thousand Treasures Rice grew vigorously.

The expansion of the Land of Fertility was also very aggressive.

The expansion speed caught up with the pace at which Eel-diggers excavated sand to expand the island.

Li Shiji, the Demon Lotus Undying Dragon, the Sandman Pharaoh, and the Golden Dragon, all three kings, joined the grand undertaking of digging.

But Li Shiji couldn’t possibly dig soil every single day.

Li Shiji came up with a solution.

He moved a teleportation gate from a secret realm to Fertile Island, then let the Earth Slime and Miner Slime enter the secret realm to dig soil, while other Slimes transported it to the shore of Fertile Island to expand the island.

After trying this method, the results seemed promising, so Li Shiji borrowed several more secret realm teleportation gates from his enemies, letting the Slimes dig and transport soil to expand the island.

The vast majority of the Ten Thousand Treasures Rice was used to feed Spirit Shells.

Li Cunxu focused on breeding Spirit Shells.

As the number of Spirit Shells increased, the production of Spirit Pearls also improved.

By consuming massive amounts of Spirit Pearls, Li Cunxu’s spirit form reached perfection.

This year, Li Cunxu’s alliance age was twenty-eight, actual age thirty-eight. 𝒇𝙧𝙚𝓮𝙬𝙚𝓫𝒏𝓸𝓿𝓮𝒍.𝓬𝙤𝓶

Li Cunxu swallowed three strands of Overlord Fortune and one strand of Gold Fortune in one breath.

Under the influence of fortune, Li Cunxu, as if aided by divine insight, was inspired and comprehended the law of will.

The invisible level barrier shattered before him.

Breakthrough to King.

The Overlord skill ’Spirit Black Thunder’ transformed into the law skill ’World-Ending Black Thunder’ under the influence of the law of will and a trace of world-ending tribulation energy.

Li Cunxu pondered over the law skill and found that World-Ending Black Thunder, despite its intimidating name, had little to do with world-ending.

However, the law skill was indeed very powerful.

When it struck an enemy, they would see a ten-second illusion of a world-ending future. Those lacking firm resolve would mistake it for reality, believing that the world would truly end, leading them to despair and cease resistance.

"Since the world is destined to be destroyed, what’s the point of resisting now? Whether I die sooner or later, I’ll die anyway, so I might as well die sooner, so I won’t have to face that cruel world-ending future," they might think.

As the Mad King once said, those who cultivate the Vast Sea Meditation Technique awaken the spiritual talent ’Embrace All Waters.’

Li Cunxu wasn’t in a hurry to test the newly acquired legendary talent Embrace All Waters; he hadn’t yet contracted the God-Swallowing Dream Butterfly.

After breaking through to King, Li Cunxu’s previously awakened two-and-a-half contract slots would double; the contract slots added through expansion items would not double.

Thus, Li Cunxu gained two additional contract slots and one incomplete contract slot.

In truth, if Li Cunxu hadn’t used the incomplete contract slot for Xiaoruan earlier, he could have combined the two incomplete contract slots into one complete slot now.

However, even if given the chance again, Li Cunxu would still prefer to use the two incomplete contract slots separately rather than merging them into one.

Even the weakest pet beast has its infinite possibilities and its own miracle.

Moreover, Li Cunxu still had the God-given talent of a Beast Master, allowing even weak pet beasts to defy fate and change their destiny.

Strength or weakness is ultimately unimportant to Li Cunxu.

Xiaoruan was initially weak and known as a ’waste’ Slime, yet now it had become Li Cunxu’s top general, the ace pet beast.
