Beast Taming: the More the Better

Chapter 658: Chapter 302: The Undead Grandmaster! Master Yin’s Super-Rank Skill?_2

Su Ping shook his head. He truly didn’t know.

Apart from that Hall of Fame level Super-Rank Skill, Undead Death Domain, he had very little understanding of Charles’s other cultivation achievements.

Master Yin enumerated them as if reciting treasures from memory:

“Just the Super-Rank Skills that I am aware of number six in total. Among them, the last one, the Undead Death Domain, is ranked above Hall of Fame level skills; indeed, it *is* a Hall-level Superior Skill, the most recent one to achieve this status!

Besides that, there is the Super-Rank Skill ’Flesh of Decay’ cultivated from the Monarch Level Undead Pet Beast ’Butcher’. There is also the Super-Rank Skill ’Death Descend’ cultivated from the Emperor Level Undead Pet Beast ’Blood Demon’, and the Monarch Level Undead Pet Beast ’Cold Frost Demon’ with its Super-Rank Skill ’Frost Freeze Whispers’.

There are two others, both equally powerful and terrifying Super-Rank Skills, and these are only the ones that have been revealed. There’s reason to suspect that with Charles’s capabilities, there could be more successfully cultivated Super-Rank Skills hidden from us.

Aside from Super-Rank Skills, he has developed three Evolutionary Bodies of the Elite Level Undead Pet Beast ’Gargoyle’, one of which is a direct evolution to the Emperor Level ’Obsidian Lord’, as well as two Evolutionary Bodies of the Commander Level ’Soul Eater Dog’…”

Su Ping listened very carefully. After all, your greatest enemy is always the one who understands you the best.

And without a doubt, based on the alignment of their camps and Charles’s previous actions, he was one of Su Ping’s greatest enemies.

His accomplishments and abilities were certainly worth Su Ping’s utmost attention.

Therefore, although he didn’t understand what Master Yin’s words truly meant, Su Ping was listening with great attention.

And it must be said, even after listening till the end, Su Ping couldn’t help but wonder if this Charles, just like himself, had some sort of cheat code?

His expertise in the cultivation of the Necromancy Series was truly remarkable.

Even as an enemy, Su Ping had to commend him; Charles, the Undead Breeding Master, was a grandmaster in the cultivation world, and his reputation was well-deserved!

In any world, there is no shortage of true geniuses, but very quickly, Su Ping noticed something amiss:

“Wait a moment, Senior Yin, how old is Charles this year?”

Indeed, even for a prodigious talent, it just seemed unreasonable for one to always be this way, didn’t it?

Yin Luo smiled faintly:

“You’ve hit upon an important point, good. Lifespan is humanity’s greatest limitation. Human Beast Tamers wield great wisdom and possess the powerful combat abilities to tame and cultivate all other Pet Beasts, but when it comes to advancing to higher levels, their lifespans are far inferior to those of many high-level Pet Beasts!

Only by truly reaching the Spirit Saint Level can one break through the lifespan limitations of the human species.

And even then, living to 150 years old is considered a ripe old age for a Spirit Saint Level individual, and the older they get, the more difficult it becomes to break through to the next Realm! Unless one finds some of the legendary life-extending treasures, lifespans are the greatest constraint and limitation for human Beast Tamers!

It is precisely because of lifespan constraints that dynasties continue to change and eras continue to evolve in the history of human Beast Tamers! However, throughout history, research into extending lifespan has never ceased, with virtually no powerful Beast Tamers or Breeders ever abandoning this quest!

Charles is one of them. His longevity research is known as Witch Soul Transformation! The Witch is a powerful Pet Beast, inherently at the Emperor Level from its base race, and is also a native Undead creature of the West. They are rarely born in our Dragon Nation; only some imported ones are contracted by Beast Tamers.

The birth of a Witch involves a very special method: the Soul Box. As long as the Soul Box exists, the Witch will continue to live, regardless of whether its body is slain or naturally decays; its life will continue unaffected.”

Pausing for a moment, Yin Luo continued, “Precisely based on his research into the Witch, Charles managed to simulate the creation of a Witch’s Soul Box using his own soul. This not only maintains the continuity of his life but also allows him to retain sufficient intelligence and creativity.

By relying on this ability, this Necromancer Beast Tamer, despite having only mediocre Meditation Talent and being rather ordinary, managed to barely break through to the Spirit Saint Level at the ripe old age of 123. And now, he is already 160 years old.”

Su Ping’s brows furrowed.

He wasn’t particularly surprised. This was reality, not a cultivation novel. Over 150 years might seem short, but it was actually a century and a half.

That was enough time to transform the world greatly, turning seas into mulberry fields.

In the ancient times of his previous life, it would have spanned a good half of a dynasty.

Not to mention the Legendary Level and the elusive Mythical Level, Su Ping believed that as Beast Tamers progressed in their Realms, their lifespans would certainly extend.

Moreover, Beast Tamers had all sorts of ways to extend their lives.

To say nothing of other methods, the Elixir of Immortality that Biyao Chunshen desired could greatly prolong one’s lifespan. Although Su Ping didn’t know its specific effects, he was certain they wouldn’t be subpar.

And he was too young to even need to consider this matter.

What surprised him was the ability of this Undead Breeding Master.

Simulating a Witch’s Soul Box with one’s own spiritual power?

This was utterly inconceivable.

“Then… what’s the cost?”

Yin Luo shook his head, “Such things are beyond my knowledge, but without a doubt, the cost is absolutely tremendous!”

Su Ping wasn’t particularly disappointed. After all, this was to be expected.

Thinking of this, a glimmer of hope also sparked within him.

Although, regarding longevity, he didn’t feel any pressure for the time being, it had to be said that no one could reject the prospect of eternal life.

Although for the history of mankind, an individual’s longevity wasn’t a good thing—rather, it was a considerable disaster—still, every living being instinctively resists Death.

Time and Death were indeed two of the most powerful Attributes. Even now on Blue Star, among the countless Pet Beasts, those possessing these two Attributes were also the rarest.

Just as one might expect, observing Su Ping’s engrossed expression, it was clear: curiosity about lifespan, about that strange secret technique of Charles—doubted and yearned for by countless people—was irresistible to anyone.

However, Yin Luo also knew when to stop.

It was precisely because quite a few Breeders and Beast Tamers, after learning more about this legendary Breeder, were inspired to leave their own countries and go after him.

What Yin Luo wanted was merely to instill in Su Ping a desire for extended lifespan in the future, not to cause Dragon Nation to lose its most outstanding young Genius Breeder in decades.

If that were the case, then without a doubt, he would be seen as a traitor to the entire Dragon Country.

Therefore, Yin Luo lightly coughed to interrupt Su Ping’s contemplation:

“AHEM. Su Ping, although Charles is formidable, I believe your future will be no less brilliant than his.”

Su Ping glanced at Yin Luo, whose expression seemed to carry a deeper meaning, and smiled faintly. Of course, he understood what the old man was thinking.

Setting aside the deep-seated grudge he held against Charles, just recalling the occasional glimpse he’d had of a Witch’s form was enough to make Su Ping lose all interest in that kind of longevity.

What’s the point of becoming a pile of bones or an Undead?

Perhaps he could afford to be so unconcerned because his lifespan was currently abundant, but for now, this was indeed his genuine thought.

Besides, he wouldn’t stoop to such measures anyway.

Seeing Su Ping’s expression, Yin Luo finally breathed a sigh of relief. Then he paused:

“I’ve told you so much, one reason was to let you know that there are always people better than us, and that we still have a long way to go in the field of Necromancy. Secondly, it was to discuss another matter with you.”

Yin Luo’s expression suddenly became serious, but even so, the corners of his usually expressionless face lifted slightly, indicating the pride of the Undead Breeding Master at this moment:

“I am our Dragon Nation’s sole Undead Breeding Master, so naturally, I also have my own Super-Rank Skill Cultivation! It may not be much, but this Super-Rank Skill Cultivation happens to allow a Pet Beast to assist its master in extending their lifespan to a certain degree.”

Su Ping was taken aback, blinking. Looking at Master Yin, who was beaming like a wealthy old man and not at all like an Undead Breeding Master, he pursed his lips, wanting to say:

So, you went through all that lengthy preamble just to show off to me at this very moment, huh?
