Chapter 3: The Divine Beast's Special Abilities

  The beautiful woman was taken aback by Yue Yang's question.

  To her, the summoning manual was blank except for the portrait above.

  There is no pattern or words now, and San Er's expression doesn't seem to be deceiving himself. Is it really that there is a talent that exists? A talent that one can't see for oneself?

  "Third son, don't deceive Fourth Daughter, is it really true that you have talent? Fourth Daughter can't see it, what kind of talent is it?" The beautiful woman felt her heart was about to jump out of her throat, and she tightly grasped Yueyang's hand.

  "Ah...... it's hidden, my talent is a hidden talent!" Yueyang scratched the back of his head and told a lie, discovering that he was indeed as cunning as a fox.

  "It's a gift, I'm scared to death!" The beautiful woman felt at ease after hearing this.

  She patted her chest with her jade-like hand, closed her eyes, and let out a long sigh. All the possessors of the world's treasures will awaken their innate talents. If Saner doesn't have it, he'll definitely be ridiculed as trash, no matter what his talent is, as long as he has one, that's enough. The strongest people at the peak have already proven that there are no mediocre innate talents in the world, only mediocre people.

  San Er's invisible hidden talent might actually be a pretty good one!

  The beautiful woman happily stretched out her hand and gently stroked the top of Yueyang's head: "San'er, Fourth Mother is really happy for you. With this hidden talent, you will definitely have a great future!"

  The little girl saw her mother stretch out her hand to stroke Mo Yanyang's head, and she also stretched out her small white hand to grab his hair.

  As soon as she saw her making trouble, the beautiful woman quickly put her down.

  The beautiful woman suppressed the excitement in her heart, gesturing to Yueyang to turn the page of the treasure book: "Turn to the next page, Saner, and take a look at your life-protecting war beast... Frost, don't move around, let Brother turn the page, be good, just stand here and watch. Hmm? Is this fog? White and vast, is your life-protecting war beast an elemental-type fog? Not bad, elemental types may grow slowly, but they are powerful, and although they may not be as strong as enhanced or war beast types in the early stages, they are by no means weak in the later stages, and may even be stronger! Ah, Saner, your life-protecting war beast is pretty good!"

  The beautiful woman was so happy that she clapped her hands and smiled with joy.

  Yue Yang was stunned and his eyes widened in shock.

  What he saw was not a vast expanse of white fog, but a dark shadow.

  A shadow that looks exactly like myself!

  Underneath the shadow, there is a brief line of text that introduces the ability of this life-protecting war beast.

  Phantom: Special Class, First Tier. You can control your shadow, each of which will possess half of your abilities. Shadows can be stacked to enhance the main body.

  Yue Yang gently placed his hand over the phantom diagram, and a faint golden light flashed between his fingers.

  "So it was like this..."

  His mind flashed with relevant knowledge about summoning war beasts at the same time.

  The warriors of the Dragon Continent, as long as they train hard, even ordinary warriors can learn one or two summoning skills and contract with war beasts. However, because they don't have a summoning manual, the number of summoned beasts is greatly limited. Ordinary warriors can only contract with one war beast; a small number of excellent warriors can contract with two.

  Those who possess the Summoning Tome have an unlimited number of contracts.

  Each page of the summoning manual can contract a summoned beast until it is fully filled with no blank pages left.

  However, the greatest advantage of summoning a contract book is not that the number of contracts is unlimited, but rather that each holder gets a unique life-protecting war beast. This life-protecting war beast is different from ordinary war beasts in that it will never truly die and will never betray its master. The life-protecting war beast grows with its master without any additional conditions, as long as the master's abilities improve or the summoning contract book levels up, its abilities will also increase accordingly.

  "Huh?"

  Yue Yang originally wanted to summon a shadow out to see what was going on.

  However, what was unexpected for him was that he couldn't summon it.

  The relevant knowledge in his mind reflected that it was because of insufficient spiritual energy, and he couldn't successfully summon a shadow. Moreover, Yue Yang could vaguely sense that summoning this kind of shadow required ten times more spiritual energy than other summoned beasts...

  "What's wrong?" The beautiful woman saw that Yueyang's expression was different and asked anxiously: "What happened?"

  "It's okay, my spiritual energy is insufficient and I'm not able to summon the Life Guardian Beast for now." Yue Yang shook his head, a thought flashing in his mind. This shadow that could stack and increase his own strength should be kept secret. Even if he was able to summon it later on, he shouldn't easily reveal it in front of others.

  It should exist as its own secret weapon.

  "Ah? Don't worry, San Er, elemental summoning beasts have very high requirements for spiritual energy. If you can't summon it at first, that's normal. The Life Guardian Beast is definitely the most helpful beast for your growth, I'm sure of it!" The beautiful woman quickly comforted the transmigrated man.

  "Yes, I will definitely work hard and strive to summon it as soon as possible!" Yuyang said on the surface, but in his heart, he had a different idea.

  Through the knowledge transmitted by the ancient tomes, he knew the standard for summoning spiritual energy.

  If it were a common elemental summoning beast, Yueyang felt that he could summon it completely.

  It's just its own 'phantom', the spiritual energy requirement is more than ten times that of other summoned beasts, it's really too high! Now it's only level one, if the level is increased, I'm afraid the spiritual energy required will be even more... However, this isn't necessarily a bad thing, because the more spiritual energy required for summoning, the stronger the summoned beast. Like the 'phantom' of Yueyang's Life Guardian, which requires more than ten times the spiritual energy of others, compared to other people's beasts, it's probably like the difference between a heavy sniper rifle and a bow and arrow! Although both are long-range shooting weapons, their power is completely different!

  Through the flashes of knowledge in his mind, Yue Yang also discovered that the greatest difference between his 'phantom' and other people's warbeasts was not strength.

  But time!

  Ordinary warriors' summoned beasts disappear in about an hour after each summoning.

  Excellent martial artist, can last two or three hours.

  There are a very small number of super geniuses who can summon time for up to five hours, but such people are extremely rare.

  Yue Yang stretched out his hand and covered the shadow's pattern, although he couldn't summon it out, but about the shadow's ability, he could still sense it, and resonate with it in his heart. After a careful sensing, he was shocked to discover that once this shadow was summoned out, its existence time was actually as long as ten days.

  "Damn it......" Yueyang's heart was sweating profusely, this secret must not be known to anyone, otherwise he would be caught and dissected like a monster!

  "Little brother, what's 'wǒcào'?" Little sister blinked her big curious eyes and asked innocently.

  "Ah, that's an incredibly powerful special move of the summoned beast, Mud Horse. It's extremely strong and when used, it can increase one's anger value by 100, and even has a chance to cause enemies to become confused, enraged, punch their chest, stomp their feet, pull their hair, jump up and down, or bang their head against the wall... This skill deals double damage to Ju Hua, but is completely ineffective against shameless people with extremely high spiritual defense or those with pure hearts... You're talking about Mud Horse, this summoned beast? It usually lives in Ma La Go Wall, likes sunshine and eating grass, especially loves lying down by the trough to eat grass... How can you say that Mud Horse is very strong? That's an understatement! Apart from the invincible Tian Chao River Crab, no one is its match. Beasts like Yak Xi and Ya Quan are not even on the same level as it! Alright, let's stop here, we can't discuss this topic too deeply!"

  Yueyang classmate is really tireless in ruining the reputation of diligent little girls.

  The beautiful woman thought the kid was overexcited and accidentally swore.

  But later on, he looked serious and said it with conviction, and I really thought there was such a strange-named divine beast in the world.

  Of course, she also knew that summoning a divine beast wasn't that easy. To say nothing of novice apprentices like her, even the strongest humans at the pinnacle rarely had divine beasts, so it was better not to have extravagant hopes.

  She hastily advised Yueyang: "Third son, these divine beasts and the like are all powerful creatures, it's impossible for them to sign a contract with a weak warrior. Don't think about it now, just focus on training your summoning skills and try to increase your summoning spirit energy... This year is probably too late, after New Year's, I and your fourth uncle will send you to the academy to study, work hard and you'll definitely have a future!"

  "Yes, yes." Yueyang secretly wiped a cold sweat, fortunately she didn't hear it, otherwise she would have to slap herself.

  After seeing off the beautiful woman in a good mood and the reluctant little girl, Yueyang let out a sigh of relief.

  She finally managed to deceive her way past, and she didn't realize she was an imposter.

  But what's next?
