Beast Tamer: Awakening a Mythical Talent at the Beginning

Chapter 22 The Magical Skills of the Water-Based Spirit Beast, the First Battle of the White-Scaled Fish!

“Yes.”

Bai Shao nodded, not asking Bai Zian about the reason for investigating the female student. She then vanished from Bai Zian’s sight to carry out his instructions.

From then on, Bai Zian no longer needed to concern himself with the matter. Once the results were ready, Bai Shao would naturally deliver the intelligence about Qiao Gubai to him.

After the instructions were given, Bai Zian headed directly toward the north gate of Candlefire City.

According to the information he had received, the small volcano inhabited by the Candlefire Spiders was located to the north of Candlefire City. By simply walking out of the north gate, he would be able to see the situation of the small volcano.

Soon, Bai Zian arrived in front of the small volcano.

At the same time, a middle-aged man with a simple and honest appearance and a respectful demeanor appeared beside Bai Zian. This was one of the security personnel assigned to Bai Zian by the Bai family.

In fact, Bai Zian’s trip was not only being secretly protected by Bai Zhi and Bai Shao. Besides them, there was also a team called the Protection Team, consisting of ten people responsible for handling various trivial matters.

These included maintaining contact between Bai Zian and the Bai family, as well as transporting various resources, and so on.

For instance, when Bai Zian instructed Bai Shao to investigate Qiao Gu Bai, Bai Shao couldn’t personally handle such trivial matters because her primary task was to protect Bai Zian’s safety. Even if the sky were to fall, she couldn’t leave his side. Therefore, after receiving Bai Zian’s command, Bai Shao would pass the order to the Protection Team to handle the investigation of Qiao Gu Bai’s information.

This was the proper procedure.

Usually, the Protection Team operated discreetly and almost never appeared in front of Bai Zian. The reason a member of the Protection Team was by Bai Zian’s side this time was due to the unique situation of the Candlefire Volcano.

Candlefire City had encircled the Candlefire Volcano and established checkpoints. To enter the Candlefire Volcano, one had to register in advance and buy a ticket.

On one hand, this allowed Candlefire City to increase its revenue.

On the other hand, it enabled them to monitor the beast tamers entering and exiting the Candlefire Volcano to prevent any malicious activities.

Bai Zian was quite speechless about this. As a result, he couldn’t quietly enter the Candlefire Volcano.

Entering the Candlefire Volcano required proof of being a beast tamer. Without such proof, one would need someone to vouch for them and have a beast tamer accompany them.

Since Bai Zian had only just contracted his first pet and hadn’t even finished high school, he had no beast tamer proof. Reluctantly, he had to have a member of the Protection Team vouch for him to gain entry.

As for why Bai Zhi and Bai Shao didn’t vouch for him, their appearances were too conspicuous. If they came out, it might attract unwanted attention.

After a while, Bai Zian successfully entered the Candlefire Volcano.

Upon entering the volcanic area, Bai Zian immediately felt the surrounding temperature rise significantly. From a distance, he could vaguely see the hot steam rising from the volcano’s summit.

Bai Zian paid no further attention to this and began searching.

Soon, he discovered a Candlefire Spider. This spider was brownish-gray, about the size of a soccer ball, and had a small candle-like organ on its back with a tiny flame. It looked quite peculiar.

Meanwhile, under the effect of the [Eye of Revelation], information about the Candlefire Spider appeared before Bai Zian.

[Species]: Candlefire Spider (Fire Element) [Level]: Fifth Rank (Mediocre) [Talent]: Candlelight (F) [Quality]: Initial Black Iron [Skill]: Flickering Candlelight (White)

The Candlefire Spider’s strength was indeed somewhat weak.

Of course, this weakness was relative to beast tamers. For ordinary humans, it could still pose a significant challenge, as the Candlefire Spider’s skill, Flickering Candlelight, could inflict considerable damage.

However, for Bai Zian at present, it was a suitable opponent.

With this thought, Bai Zian waved his hand and summoned the White-scaled Fish from the Mythical Beast Space.

A white light appeared, transforming into a small silver-white fish with purple-golden eyes.

The White-scaled Fish appeared.

[Species]: White-scaled Fish (Water Element) [Level]: Third Rank (Mediocre) [Talent]: Swift Flow (S), Yinming Power (S), Flow Burst (A) [Quality]: Intermediate King [Skill]: Rapid Water Manipulation (Purple), Yin Water Corrosion (Purple), Flow Burst (Blue), Water Gun Impact (Green), Foam Layer (Green)

After some growth, the White-scaled Fish had reached the Third Rank.

Although it seemed weaker compared to the Candlefire Spider, its special attributes made it capable of handling the Candlefire Spider.

At the moment the White-scaled Fish was summoned, a bubble quickly formed around it, floating in mid-air. This was the White-scaled Fish’s skill.

[Foam Layer]: [Skill Type]: Green, Primary [Description]: Summons a bubble to slightly enhance defensive capabilities.

Indeed, Foam Layer was a defensive skill and a primary one at that.

Under normal circumstances, such skills weren’t considered remarkable but were favored by water-type beast tamers. Because the skill creates a bubble that can float in mid-air, water-type beast tamers use it to have their water-type pets float and fight on land.

However, if the spiritual beast’s weight was too great, the Foam Layer would not hold up and would burst. This skill was specific to lower-rank water-type spiritual beasts but was highly regarded among them.

The White-scaled Fish also possessed this ability, which was one of the reasons Bai Zian dared to venture into the Candlefire Volcano.

Otherwise, how could he bring a water-type fish into a volcanic area?

The Candlefire Spider, upon seeing the White-scaled Fish, became somewhat panicked and hissed menacingly.

Its instincts told it that the White-scaled Fish was a dangerous opponent.

The White-scaled Fish’s gaze grew cold, and it appeared angered, as if insulted by the Candlefire Spider’s challenge.

“Don’t be angry, White-scaled Fish. This is the best place for you to train. Get familiar with your skills.”

Bai Zian spoke, calming the White-scaled Fish. Following Bai Zian’s command, the White-scaled Fish began its attack.

[Water Gun Impact]!

The White-scaled Fish moved its body, and spots of light appeared around it. A water column the size of an arm shot toward the Candlefire Spider.

Boom.

The Water Gun struck the Candlefire Spider instantly, causing it to explode into fragments.
