Beast Taming: the More the Better

Chapter 659: Chapter 303: The Ghost with the Painted Skin and the Faceless Reincarnation!

A skill that allowed Pet Beasts to use abilities on their Beast Tamers. It had to be said, the proud Master Yin before him truly had the capital for such pride.

Su Ping truly hadn’t heard of such a skill before.

Aside from their innate Talent, the abilities of human Beast Tamers—whether controlling Pet Beasts via a Soul Contract or utilizing the Beast Taming Space—were all related to spiritual power. What kind of skill could possibly help a Beast Tamer extend their lifespan?

Su Ping looked at Master Yin before him with suspicion.

If this ability were truly so heaven-defying, shouldn’t Master Yin’s status be even higher?

However, based on his observations these past few days, although Master Yin’s status within the Breeder Association was extraordinary, he seemed somewhat lacking compared to Master Zhu Hong, whom he had encountered previously.

Master Zhu was a genuine, influential Vice President of the Association and possessed enough authority to manage many internal affairs.

Moreover, this time, Master Zhu’s Pet Beast, Da Huang, had advanced. Although Master Zhu himself had not yet broken through, it would probably happen within a few years, at which point his status would likely rise again.

Yet, the Master Yin before him undoubtedly fell short in comparison.

Thinking about Master Yin’s purpose for this visit, Su Ping’s mind stirred. He gained some understanding but remained somewhat unsure.

Noticing Su Ping’s astonished expression, Master Yin was clearly very pleased. After a light cough, he continued,

“The favor I wish to ask of you, Su Ping, involves this very Super-Rank Skill!”

“Oh?”

Just as I thought, Su Ping inwardly noted. If it were truly that heaven-defying, Master Yin would have been treated like a national treasure, not just appearing as he does now. This so-called lifespan-extending Super-Rank Skill must have significant drawbacks.

However, Su Ping also felt a flicker of excitement.

For him, the more research there was on such Super-Rank Skills, the better. It wouldn’t just bring countless benefits to his advancements as a Breeder, but also greatly assist in illuminating the Myriad Spirit Beast Atlas and the development of the Heart of Myriad Spirits. And most importantly, Yin Luo’s Super-Rank Skill wasn’t like Liu Fuhai’s, which was completely without leads; it was a real, tangible prospect. If this was the case, the Universal Experience from the Myriad Spirit Beast Atlas could indeed be put to use!

Thinking of this, Su Ping spoke almost without hesitation,

“Please, tell me about it. As I said before, if I can help, I definitely won’t refuse.”

At those words, Master Yin breathed a sigh of relief. With a thought, his spiritual power as an Emperor-level Beastmaster burst forth, enveloping Su Ping’s entire room to prevent any information from leaking.

Then, a ray of light shone, and a bizarre Pet Beast appeared before Su Ping’s eyes.

No, this wasn’t a Pet Beast. It seemed to be a living person.

Su Ping stared at the figure before him, momentarily unable to react.

Its skin was pale, devoid of any color. Its cheeks were expressionless, and its jet-black hair cascaded past its waist. Though dressed in modern attire, it appeared to be a woman in her thirties or forties who might have once exuded charm. However, the deathly aura and coldness seeping from its entire body made it clear: this was not a human being, but rather resembled a corpse.

Fortunately, Su Ping was somewhat prepared for such Undead Type Pet Beasts.

He quickly regained his composure and recalled a particularly special type of Undead Pet Beast from The East.

“Is this… a Papercraft Ghost?” Su Ping asked, somewhat astonished.

Master Yin nodded with a smile. “To be precise, it’s the Emperor Level evolutionary body of the Papercraft Ghost: the Faceless Ghost King!”

“Faceless Ghost King?”

Su Ping scratched his head, obviously having no knowledge of this peculiar Emperor-level Pet Beast.

“Exactly,” Master Yin said. “This evolutionary body is one of the new evolutions I developed when I advanced to Senior Breeder! And this Super-Rank Skill is a special one belonging to the Faceless Ghost King: Faceless Rebirth!”

Faceless Rebirth… Su Ping mused. Hearing the name, Su Ping could vaguely guess some of its implications.

“That’s right!” Master Yin explained. “The Faceless Ghost King’s Super-Rank Skill allows it to use its own abilities to create a human shell. This then enables a Beast Tamer to transfer their soul into it, thereby achieving the purpose of extending their lifespan.”

Su Ping licked his somewhat dry lips. “How much lifespan can be gained each time a shell is changed?”

“It’s not just about extending life,” Master Yin continued. “Fatal injuries can be completely healed after undergoing Faceless Rebirth! As long as the soul hasn’t perished, recovery is possible. As for extending life, it depends on the Level and materials of the shell created by the Faceless Ghost King. Generally speaking, the lifespan extension is approximately one to five years!”

One to five years? That seems quite acceptable!

Su Ping narrowed his eyes slightly. He had to admit, just hearing the name of the skill gave him a somewhat bad premonition. Clearly, creating such a shell would not be simple.

However, Su Ping didn’t rush to ask. Instead, he looked with interest at the body Yin Luo was currently inhabiting.

“Master Yin, this body of yours… it’s also a transferred shell, isn’t it?”

Yin Luo nodded helplessly.

“This is my fifth shell. Back in the day, I too was a graceful young man…”

Or perhaps even a pretty young girl… Su Ping thought to himself, his expression unchanging.

“Back when I was testing the effects of this Super-Rank Skill,” Yin Luo continued, “I voluntarily transferred to three different shells. Later, after suffering some fatal injuries from an attack by foreign enemies, I transferred to another one. Though that shell… well, let’s not talk about it. Afterward, I transferred to the one I’m using now…”
