Beast Taming: Slaughter Atlas-Chapter 456 - 402: Sixth Talent Copy

The criteria for determining major and minor merits do not have a unified standard, and everything is primarily based on the rewards from alliance tasks.

The difficulty of alliance tasks varies, and so do the rewards, but most tasks reward alliance Contribution Points.

The purpose of Contribution Points is to exchange for treasures below Earth Tier, cultivation techniques, and soul skills in the treasury.

There aren’t many tasks that reward minor merits; they only appear occasionally, and are not easy.

Minor merits can be exchanged for treasures below Celestial Tier.

As for major merits, they’re harder to obtain. It’s not because there are few tasks for major merits, but because the tasks are too difficult, possibly taking years or even decades for someone to complete one.

Of course, items that can be exchanged for major merits are all Celestial Tier.

However, the whole alliance doesn’t have many Celestial Tier treasures and techniques, otherwise, there wouldn’t be such stringent conditions.

But one thing Chu Chen feels puzzled about is regarding consumable Celestial Tier treasures, setting such conditions for major merits is understandable.

But cultivation techniques can be used repeatedly, so why does the alliance set such stringent conditions? Could there be special conditions for cultivating these Celestial Tier techniques?

After pondering for a while, Chu Chen helplessly shook his head. Thinking about this now is meaningless; it’s more practical to enhance his strength.

Lei Yao, Nirvana, and Shadow Kill have all broken through to King Level, so it’s time to bestow them with the sixth talent.

Lei Yao’s five current talents are Frenzy, C-level, Beast Soul Power, C-level, Strengthening Body D-level, Heart Like Still Water C-level, and Blood Manipulation B-level.

Chu Chen had already found the ideal talent for it long ago, which is the Talent Amplification of the Wind Snow Giant Bear King.

Without any hesitation, Chu Chen directly bestowed Amplification onto Lei Yao, casually spending one hundred thousand Slaughter Value to upgrade Strengthening Body from D-level to C-level.

Strengthening Body and Amplification complement each other, and in the future, Lei Yao’s body size will reach an extremely astonishing level.

Amplification B-level (Can increase the Beast Master’s body size by eighty percent in a short time. After the effect ends, the Beast Master will become weak.)

Nirvana’s five talents are Disguise D-level, Braver and Braver D-level, Endless Life D-level, Life-and-Death Struggle C-level, Soul-devouring C-level.

Since Nirvana transformed into the undead, it rarely engages in actual combat, but Chu Chen doesn’t regret it. The first four talents are extremely strong, even if it doesn’t continue to stack talents, its combat power remains terrifying.

If given enough time, its combat power would be even more terrifying than Lei Yao’s.

Therefore, Chu Chen plans to bestow Nirvana with a spiritual recovery or enhancement talent.

When Nirvana controls the Undead Army, it can’t perform fine control at all; the undead rely entirely on muscle memory to fight, and only exerts two to three tenths of its full power.

But this can’t be blamed on Nirvana; after all, to control tens of thousands of undead, its Spiritual Power is limited, and it’s already remarkable that it can control the field.

Every time after controlling the Undead Army, Nirvana becomes extremely sleepy, a sign of overconsumption of Spiritual Power.

Chu Chen selected among many talents and finally chose the Crown of Spirit for it.

Crown of Spirit B-level (Can increase the recovery speed of Spiritual Power by eighty percent.)

This talent allows Nirvana to control the Undead Army for a longer period and have more Spiritual Power to attempt micro-controls.

The last is Shadow Kill, its five talents are Stealth C-level, Mimicry C-level, Sprint B-level, Shattered Armor C-level, Metal Body B-level.

Chu Chen’s requirement for Shadow Kill remains as assassin flow, striving for a kill with every strike.

With Shadow Kill’s current strength, concealment and speed are temporarily sufficient, leaving only a deficiency in attack.

Against stronger opponents, it’s challenging for Shadow Kill to achieve a one-hit kill.

If the opponent is wary, it’s not easy for Shadow Kill to kill the opponent face-to-face.

The usual methods of increasing attack are difficult to make up for this deficiency.

Chu Chen pondered for a long time without finding a solution, until he accidentally discovered a talent extremely suitable for Shadow Kill while browsing the Slaughter Atlas’s talent exchange list.

Life-taking B-level (Has a five percent chance to instantly kill the opponent when attacking.)

This probability seems low, but for Nirvana, it’s practically a Divine Skill.

Shadow Kill’s attack speed is extremely fast. If it wishes, it can unleash over a dozen attacks in an instant. As long as its luck isn’t terribly bad, after several attacks, it will inevitably trigger the Life-taking effect.

Especially when using the Demon-Slaying Blade Domain, even if the opponent’s defense is unparalleled, they’ll inevitably die at Life-taking’s hands.

After bestowing Life-taking onto Shadow Kill, Chu Chen should also bestow the sixth talent on himself.

Currently, his five talents are Heaven Rewards Diligence D-level, Wind of Recovery C-level, Damage Transfer D-level, Calm and Unflustered C-level, Amplification B-level.

Each of these five talents has its strengths: Heaven Rewards Diligence enhances cultivation speed, Wind of Recovery boosts recovery speed, Damage Transfer is life-saving, Calm and Unflustered enhances mindset, and Amplification boosts the power of Beast Master skills.

In summary, these five talents are comprehensive, so he wanted something different.

Copy B-level (Allows copying all of Beast Master’s skills, with eighty percent of the original power.)

With this talent, Chu Chen can use the Beast Master’s skills, and the power would only be reduced by twenty percent.

This talent can be used as a trump card.

Imagine that during a battle with a beast horde, the opponent suddenly executes a beheading strategy. After their arduous journey to reach you, they’re killed by one skill of yours; how sensational would that be?

If the Beast Master is in battle and both sides are evenly matched, a skill attack by the Beast Master can instantly turn the tide.

Copy talent will have miraculous effects whether for self-preservation or assisting the Beast Master in battle.

Chu Chen did not hesitate, spending one million Slaughter Value to exchange for the Copy talent.

After bestowing the talent on himself, he couldn’t wait to try it out.

The experimental target is naturally the multi-blessed one, and in the room, he naturally chose a skill with small power to test. 𝘧𝘳𝘦ℯ𝓌𝘦𝒷𝘯𝑜𝑣𝘦𝓁.𝒸𝘰𝓂

Chu Chen circulated his Soul Power, and a dense Fire Element gathered in front of him, quickly forming a flaming arrow.

Chu Chen hurriedly opened the window and shot it towards the courtyard ground.

With a "boom" sound, the ground dirt flew, and dust filled the air.

Then, the sound of shattering glass was heard, and Su Zixuan and Xia Gongyun directly broke through the window, arriving in the courtyard.

Seeing this, Chu Chen awkwardly said, "Don’t panic, I was just letting the Beast Master test a skill."

Upon hearing this, the two girls exchanged a helpless look, then returned to their rooms.

Chu Chen could only awkwardly rub his nose, showing a wry smile.

Now that the dust settled, a deep pit, about a meter deep and the size of a bowl’s opening, remained on the ground.

Seeing this, Chu Chen nodded in satisfaction. Copy can not only copy the Beast Master’s skills, but even the skill level is copied, and the Soul Power consumption isn’t significant, estimated to be equivalent to the Beast Master’s Star Power consumption when using skills.

When using skills, it was unexpectedly smooth, as if he had trained thousands of times.
