Beast Taming: Slaughter Atlas-Chapter 457 - 403: Enhancing Talent

Chu Chen looked at the remaining eight million or so Slaughter Value. He planned to consume more and enhance the Talent Level of himself and his Guardian Beast.

Firstly, Chu Chen himself was upgraded. He spent two million and one hundred thousand Slaughter Value to raise Heaven Rewards Diligence from D-level to B-level, and Wind of Recovery also from C-level to B-level.

As for the remaining talents, they were sufficient for use, so there was no need to enhance them for now.

Next, he enhanced his strongest combat power, Lei Yao.

After some struggle, Chu Chen gritted his teeth and spent a full three million Slaughter Value to enhance Frenzy, Beast Soul Power, and Sturdy Body to B-level.

The last to be upgraded was the second line of combat, Nirvana. Chu Chen spent three hundred thousand Slaughter Value to enhance Disguise, The More You Fight, the Braver You Get, and Endless Life from D-level to C-level.

Then, he spent another two million Slaughter Value to upgrade Soul Devourer and Life Gamble from C-level to B-level.

As for his other Guardian Beasts, Chu Chen could only smile wryly. This wave of enhancements had cost a full eight hundred and forty million Slaughter Value, clearing out his painstakingly accumulated Slaughter Value once again.

However, Chu Chen was not discouraged. He was about to head to the frontline, where the acquisition of Slaughter Value would only be faster. 𝘧𝓇ℯℯ𝑤ℯ𝘣𝓃ℴ𝓋𝑒𝑙.𝑐𝘰𝑚

Besides, this upgrade was substantial, enhancing the speed of both his Cultivation and Recovery, as well as the combat power of his Guardian Beasts, by at least thirty percent.

Just when Chu Chen was silently rejoicing that he had already exchanged the Evolution Formula for his three Guardian Beasts, a knock on the door interrupted his thoughts.

"Come in."

"Lord Divine Son, dinner is ready. Would you prefer to dine in your room, or on the first floor?" Xia Gongyun asked softly.

Chu Chen was slightly taken aback by the words and then realized that he was now a Divine Son.

Truth be told, it was his first time receiving such treatment, and he was a little unaccustomed to it.

Chu Chen smiled at Xia Gongyun and said, "Sister Yun, there’s no need to be so formal. Just call me by my name from now on."

"Lord Divine Son, we cannot be so informal. If the higher-ups find out, they will surely punish us." Xia Gongyun said with some distress.

Upon hearing this, Chu Chen couldn’t help but furrow his brows. After pondering for a while, he said in a deep voice, "I see. Then when no one else is around, just call me by my name. If we’re outside, you can use the formal address."

Upon hearing this, Xia Gongyun replied, "As you order."

"Alright, I’m a bit hungry as well. Let’s go down for dinner. I also want to taste Sister Yun’s cooking."

Xia Gongyun smiled with delight at these words, pleased that this Divine Son was exceptionally easygoing with none of the usual arrogance of a genius.

Meeting such a Divine Son was indeed a blessing for her.

When Chu Chen arrived on the first floor, he saw a table full of sumptuous dishes.

Chu Chen counted them and found it was eight dishes and one soup, perfectly balanced with meats, fungi, fish, and vegetables, not only well-matched but also nutritious, every dish a feast for the senses.

Just as Chu Chen was about to taste the food, Zhu Dashan hurried in.

Chu Chen immediately asked, "Brother Zhu, have all the items on the list been purchased?"

Zhu Dashan quickly replied, "Reporting, sir, everything has been purchased." With that, he handed over a Spatial Ring.

Chu Chen took the Spatial Ring without hesitation and began to inspect it.

After a moment, Chu Chen nodded in satisfaction and said, "Not bad, thanks for the trouble, Brother Zhu."

"There’s no need to be so polite, Divine Son. This is what I should do."

Seeing that others either called him Divine Son or Sir.

Chu Chen could only reiterate the rules he just set once more.

Suddenly, Su Zixuan and the other two all agreed, considering that living under the same roof and being so formal every time they met was indeed tiring.

"Alright, let’s sit down and eat." Chu Chen invited them cheerfully.

Su Zixuan and the other two exchanged a glance but didn’t move; after all, their relationship with Chu Chen was that of servant and master, sitting at the same table to eat was not appropriate.

Seeing this, Chu Chen realized their thoughts and immediately laughed, saying, "No need to be so formal, we’ll be comrades in arms from now on. Besides, there are so many dishes, I can’t finish them all myself, help me with that."

The three broke into smiles at his words.

Once everyone was sated, Chu Chen asked Su Zixuan to take him to the laboratory as he intended to create the Evolution Potions and expedite the evolution of his three beasts.

Su Zixuan was surprised to learn of Chu Chen’s request.

She hadn’t expected him to be so diligent, especially since he had just become a Divine Son; normally, people would relax and celebrate.

But the young man before her was calm in both triumph and defeat, continuing to work hard on his Cultivation.

To achieve such accomplishments at his age, it seems it wasn’t just due to Talent.

Upon arriving at the laboratory, Chu Chen took out the evolutionary materials, sorted them out, and then began to skillfully craft the Evolution Potions.

Three hours later, Chu Chen emerged from the laboratory, a bit fatigued.

"Take me to the Cultivation Room," Chu Chen said calmly, looking at Su Zixuan.

Su Zixuan furrowed her brows and said, "You’re already very tired; Cultivation should have a proper balance. You should go back and rest now."

"Thank you, I know my limits. Once you take me to the Cultivation Room, you can go back and rest," Chu Chen replied.

Su Zixuan said in a serious tone, "That’s not what I meant. Oh well, I’ll take you there."

They soon arrived on the thirtieth floor, where all the Cultivation Rooms of the Alliance were located.

The Cultivation Rooms were also classified by level, ranging from Soul Master Level to Emperor Level.

Chu Chen took out a Token and directly chose an Emperor Level Cultivation Room.

"I’ll be in the next Cultivation Room. Let me know when you’re leaving," Su Zixuan said softly.

Chu Chen nodded and said, "You don’t need to accompany me the whole time; this is the headquarters of the Alliance, there won’t be any danger."

"It’s my duty," Su Zixuan said as she entered the Cultivation Room.

Chu Chen shook his head in mild frustration, not expecting her to be so rigid, but it was a good thing, ensuring his safety.

Inside the Alliance’s villa area, at the residence of the Fourth Divine Son.

"What did you say? That wretch Su Zixuan actually became the Divine Guard of the Sixth Divine Son?" a middle-aged man said coldly.

This person was indeed the Fourth Divine Son, Fei Zhiyuan.

Upon hearing the words, the person’s face immediately changed, and he quickly knelt on the ground, speaking fearfully, "Yes, Lord Divine Son."

"Bang"

Upon hearing this, Fei Zhiyuan was suddenly furious, slamming his palm down, turning the armrest into powder.

"Sixth Divine Son, truly an insolent brat. Go find out everything about him for me."

"Reporting, sir, I’ve already collected all the information on the Sixth Divine Son."

"Well done."

"Thank you, Lord Divine Son, for your praise," the middle-aged man flattered.

But he received an angry rebuke: "Hmph, then why haven’t you handed it over?"

The middle-aged man wiped the sweat from his forehead and hurriedly presented the information.

A moment later, Fei Zhiyuan threw the documents on the ground, his voice icy as he said, "A mere pauper from a border town dares to covet Zixuan; he’s courting death. His parents are still in Celestial Star City; you know what to do, right?"

"I understand." With that, he made a throat-slitting gesture.

"I prefer to torment my prey slowly. Make sure not to leave any traces."

"Rest assured, Lord Divine Son, I will handle it cleanly."
