Beast Taming: the More the Better

Chapter 618: Chapter 286: The Paperman with No Skills, All About Stats!

An energy aura was released.

In the dark world, a series of phantom shadows flickered not far away. These were the ghostly Ferocious Beasts born within the simulated environment of the Heavenly Tomb: Wailing Banshees, with their ethereal forms and ear-piercing shrieks; the Blue Flame Heart Demons Su Ping had encountered before; Ice Bone Skeletons, exuding a bone-chilling cold; the Luo Sheng Tree Mother, cultivator of the undead aura; and Hell Swordsmen, wielding Swords of Death…

Here, it had seemingly become a realm of the undead.

In the pitch-black darkness, what was even harder to guard against was the Death Energy that constantly seeped into one’s body. This energy was the natural enemy of all living beings, except for a few Undead Pet Beasts that had awakened the Death Attribute. Any trace of life that came into contact with this Death Energy would ultimately be annihilated!

However, this simulated environment of the Heavenly Tomb, terrifying enough to make others tremble with fear, was like a leisurely stroll in a park for Su Ping. With the Five Elements Paper Shield raised, the interplay of elemental counters within his Zhou Tian Wu Xing Physique, combined with its energy circulation, nullified any attack containing Five Elements energy. Even spiritual attacks, like those from the Wailing Banshees, were weakened to a minimum by the seemingly inexhaustible energy barrier he maintained. Moreover, Ferocious Beasts that relied on powerful physiques for direct attacks, such as Bone Tyrants and Gold-Silver Zombies, were blasted to smithereens by the power of the Five Elements Sword in Su Ping’s hand the moment they dared to approach.

Within the Zhou Tian Wu Xing Physique, apart from the generation and suppression cycles of the Five Elements, the most crucial aspect was the absolute control over elemental Energy. Thus, when Su Ping swung his sword, enhanced Jinge Technique, Earth Spikes, water projectiles, Fireballs, and thorns—various forms of Energy Bodies—erupted as if they cost nothing. It was less like a sword swing and more like a cannon firing. If one observed only the momentum, it was somewhat akin to Lu Bu wielding the Square Sky Halberd, reaping through a horde of minions.

Of course, Su Ping’s own combat skills were rather ordinary by comparison; to say he was Lu Bu was indeed an overstatement. If forced to draw a comparison, it was somewhat like a college student in a dormitory battle, wielding a toilet brush. Um… like one freshly used, with some unidentified liquid still clinging to it. It was truly an instrument of chaotic warfare; anyone who saw it would recoil in terror, desperately trying to avoid it.

A single swing of his sword meant that these Deadly Beasts would die if grazed and perish if touched. His attacks were all about raw power, with no finesse whatsoever! Each sword swing possessed a certain beauty derived from its sheer numerical power. This was a lavish expenditure of Energy, and also the greatest appeal of the Five Elements Paper Body.

It wasn’t that Su Ping didn’t want to employ skill; he wasn’t the Beast Tamer for this Five Elements Paper Body, after all. His control stemmed partly from Qian Yi, but even more so from the combat instincts inherent to the Paper Body itself. While not entirely unrelated to him, his own contribution was definitely not significant.

However, it was precisely for this reason that the might of the Five Elements Origami Man, so vividly displayed within the Heavenly Tomb, was truly astounding to behold.

Watching Su Ping brandishing his sword behind the glass partition, the three outsiders went from initial puzzlement and shock, to skepticism and speechlessness.

Why is it that every time this kid appears, it’s in a way that’s completely incomprehensible? Why does he always manage to do something that shatters our fundamental understanding of Beast Tamers? What kind of anomaly is he?

Their Heavenly Tomb Special Forces Breeder selection trials were supposed to be serious and meticulous, if not outright solemn, weren’t they? The problem was, the young man in the trial chamber seemed more like a village kid wielding a rolling pin, chasing chickens, dogs, and kicking geese. The scene was so utterly absurd that the three of them found it hard to watch.

Yet, even through the partition glass, the trio could still sense the energy aura erupting from Su Ping and the Five Elements Paper Diagram he wielded. That Energy level had undoubtedly reached Monarch Peak.

But hadn’t their senses just indicated that this thing’s Pet Beast form was only at the Commander Level? The trio was baffled.

At that moment, Master Yin finally couldn’t hold back any longer. He turned to the other two, his gaze primarily on Leng Ye, and asked, “Ghost Saint, should we increase the upper limit further? Activate the reserve energy to raise the test’s difficulty?”

Increase the upper limit further? Leng Ye’s eyebrows twitched. It’s already at the Monarch Level. If they increase it again…

“According to the intelligence reports,” Master Yin continued, “the Death Energy and its concentration within the Heavenly Tomb are far beyond what an ordinary Monarch Level Beastmaster can handle! That’s why the Eagle Country deployed so many personnel and still only managed to explore a fraction of it! The Heavenly Tomb is unique; entry is restricted to the Monarch Level, but within the Secret Realm, there are existences surpassing the Monarch Level. That might be the true difficulty! So, should we activate the preset maximum difficulty for this selection test? The highest difficulty test experiment requires the expenditure of one Emperor Level Soul Crystal!”

“Then let’s activate it and see,” Leng Ye said, propping his chin. “Damn it, with this kid stirring things up, why do I feel like our selection process has become a joke, like child’s play?”

He wasn’t worried about any danger arising. At this very moment, a shadow slowly emerged behind him. If Su Ping, inside the glass partition, encountered any problems, he could intervene instantly.

As for the consumption of Advanced Level resources…?
