Chapter 31: Hurry Up And Evolve

“You piece of trash! You actually dare to treat me like this!”

Li Yuan’s anger suddenly went to his head. The humiliation from a few days ago channeled into a tightly clenched fist that Li Yuan savagely swung at Shen Fei!

“Stop!” Shen Fei coldly clenched the other party’s fist and mocked, “Have you already forgotten how badly I beat you yesterday?”

“You-” The veins on Li Yuan’s head were bulging.

“What more is there to say? You were defeated, now move aside!” Shen Fei pushed him away impatiently.

Seeing Shen Fei’s strength, Li Yuan’s arrogance was half-diminished. He originally wanted to hire a few mercenaries to accompany him today. But Li Mingzhu suddenly called all those mercenaries away!

“Just you wait! Shen Fei! Next time, let’s see how they deal with you!”

“We’ll talk about it if there is next time. I think your Li family won’t be staying arrogant for long.”

Shen Fei looked at the Li Yuan with contempt and turned away.

...

As soon as he got home, Shen Fei quickly locked the door. It was a really close call today.

Shen Fei sat on the chair and his body finally relaxed.

Once more, he thought about Qian Yu’s timely rescue. If it had not been for him, Shen Fei would have really met his end today.

Li Yuan’s assassination attempt would just be the beginning. After this, Zhang Youcheng’s men would probably come after him as well. There were also several other families in the city who would want to assassinate him for their own interests!

Shen Fei fidgeted worriedly with his hands.

His current strength was far from enough to compete with the mercenaries in hired by the Li family! He had to improve his strength very quickly!

“Flame Owl, Three-clawed Golden Dragon!”

Shen Fei extended his hand and summoned his two Spirit beasts.

“Hoot?”

The Flame Owl tilted its head as if it had noticed that something was not right with Shen Fei’s mood, and took the initiative to rub against him. The Three-clawed Golden Dragon also coiled around Shen Fei’s side, waiting meekly.

Shen Fei stretched out his hand and gently placed it on the Flame Owl’s body.

This time, his talent did not give him any prompts.

‘As expected.’

Shen Fei frowned and placed his hand on the Three-clawed Golden Dragon.

No prompts appeared either.

After a spirit beast reached the Marquis rank, the cooldown period for evolutions would be greatly extended. He would try again in a few days.

Shen Fei anxiously tapped on the table. But time waited for no one.

Since he could not increase the ranks of his spirit beasts, he could only focus on the other aspects.

For example, the skill level of the spirit beasts.

Generally speaking, a spirit beast’s initial skill level would be at Level 5, and as the skill’s proficiency continued to increase, it could gradually be strengthened to Level 100.

On the other hand, the Flame Owl and the Three-clawed Golden Dragon’s skills were both at Level 10. He still had a lot of room for improvement.

Shen Fei placed his hand on the two spirit beasts. In a short while, their skill levels were raised to Level 15.

[Skill levelling has entered the cooldown period. Please try again in two days!]

Only when the system notification popped up did Shen Fei retract his hand in satisfaction.

Once a skill level reached Level 30, it would undergo a skill mutation.

The Beastmaster may choose to let the spirit beast continue to use its original skill, or they could also transform the original skill into a stronger and more useful skill. However, the skill level would reset to zero.

Shen Fei looked anxiously at his two spirit beasts. Their skills were not bad. It was just a pity that there were too few skill types. In the later stages, he would have to spend a lot of money to go to a professional trainer to learn new skills.

The Flame Owl was fine, but the Three-clawed Golden Dragon was a bit of a problem. There were only a handful of dragon-type spirit beasts in human history. He did not know if there were any new moves for his dragon to learn.

Some spirit beasts would learn new skills on their own as they gradually gain more battle experience.

However, if he wanted to learn other skills, he could only go to the Beastmaster with the same type of spirit beast, and pay a fee to learn them.

Shen Fei glanced at his empty wallet. ‘...Let’s revisit this some other time. Too bad the SSS-class talent can’t be upgraded anymore.’

Suddenly, a flash of inspiration came to Shen Fei’s mind.

Since he already had a second spirit beast, should he try to awaken a second talent?

In Shen Fei’s memories of this world, the number of Beastmasters who had a second talent could be counted on one hand. But there was a reason for this.

Firstly, in order to successfully awaken the second talent, the grade of the first talent must not be lower than S-class! Most people would not even be able to qualify for this option.

Secondly, the awakening of the second talent required a huge ceremony. The ritual crystals and herbs required for this were also quite expensive.

The awakening of the first talent was free because it was innate... but the second talent would cost at least 1,000,000 yuan!

If it was in the past when the Shen family was strong and prosperous, Shen Fei would be able to afford this amount even with his eyes closed. But now, that was just wishful thinking.

“I don’t have any money...” Shen Fei frowned with woe.

‘I heard that the first place prize in the state assessment and the final examination was a generous cash prize. The state assessment reward is 100,000 yuan, and the final examination reward is 400,000 yuan.

‘If I could get my hands on them both, I’d be halfway to awakening my second talent!’

But none of these were realistic goals. The most important thing now was to improve his own cultivation.

Every Beastmaster would be divided into six different tiers after their innate talent was awakened: Rookie, Novice, Apprentice, Master, Emperor, and Supreme. Beastmaster’s tiers could only be raised with cultivation.

Shen Fei’s current tier was at the lowest-Rookie. If he wanted to reach the highest level, not only did it require a large amount of wealth and connections, it was also extremely harsh on the Beastmaster’s own talent.

The higher the talent class, the faster the speed of cultivation. Even the lowest ranked spirit beasts sent by an Emperor-tier Beastmaster could plunge the continent into decades of war.

In the past 200 years, the number of Emperor-tier existences among humans could be counted on one hand. Throughout his life, Shen Fei had only seen one, and that was Wang Yufei, a Beastmaster from the same continent as Shen Fei. He was also the most famous Beastmaster to this day. He commanded two Emperor-rank spirit beasts with ancient bloodlines-a Bronze Warbeast and a Silver Guardian.

Shen Fei vaguely remembered that when his grandfather was still alive, Wang Yufei came to their house once. He seemed to have discussed something with his grandfather and then left in a hurry. After that, no one had seen him for years...

...Until two years ago, someone discovered the largest wormhole in history at one end of the continent. At the same time, they found Wang Yufei, who had been missing for many years.

It was said that ever since the wormhole appeared, Wang Yufei had been guarding the area around the wormhole, protecting the peace of the entire continent. It was not until recently, when the exotic beast activity there gradually weakened, and a new patrol post was set up, that Wang Yufei was able to rest.

It also was said that he would be the head examiner of the final examination, and would be in attendance with the mayor!
