Chapter 133: Entering the Bronze Level
The next morning.
Warm sunlight shone through the windows and onto Ye Xuan’s face.
Ye Xuan wriggled his eyebrows and opened his eyes.
He had slept through the night, and he could sense that his Spirit Ocean had gotten slightly stronger.
As a beast tamer, this was welcome news that made him feel happy, of course.
He did not have to cultivate much usually, and his skills would continue to grow.
Of course, this applied to talented beast tamers.
Beast tamers who were not that talented would rarely be able to enjoy such a sensation.
“Tidal Treasure Snail!”
Ye Xuan’s mind suddenly cleared, and he grew excited as he thought of something else.
He quickly sent part of his senses to the beast lair of the Tidal Treasure Snail.
The next moment, he saw the Tidal Treasure Snail floating in space, bobbing around like a piece of rootless duckweed.
As it bobbed around, its shell flapped open and close. It looked as if it were breathing rhythmically.
“It is going to level up!”
Ye Xuan had a sudden epiphany when he saw the scene before him.
And with this understanding, he felt a sense of surprise.
Even though he had a feeling before he went to bed last night that the Tidal Treasure Snail was going to level up today, he still could not contain his excitement when the Tidal Treasure Snail was really about to level up.
“Hum!”
Just as Ye Xuan was thinking about how the Tidal Treasure Snail was about to level up, the Tidal Treasure Snail, which had been breathing rhythmically, suddenly started to shake.
Then, countless spirit auras and tiny golden sand gathered around the snail under the influence of some inexplicable force.
After that-
The Tidal Treasure Snail absorbed all the spirit auras and the golden sand.
Then, its disposition changed instantly.
It moved from the peak Dark-Iron level into the Bronze level.
At the same time, it became the second Bronze level beast that Ye Xuan had.
“It finally leveled up!”
An excited expression crossed Ye Xuan’s face when he saw that.
“Bobo~.”
The Tidal Treasure Snail sent Ye Xuan a message using its senses immediately after it had leveled up.
It indicated that it wanted to leave the beast lair.
“Sure.”
Sensing the Tidal Treasure Snail’s thoughts, Ye Xuan used his mind to summon the Tidal Treasure Snail from the beast’s lair.
Whoosh!
The Tidal Treasure Snail emerged from the beast lair and started flying excitedly in circles around Ye Xuan’s room.
Then, with a flash, it settled on Ye Xuan’s head and refused to get off.
“You rascal.”
Ye Xuan felt rather helpless. The Tidal Treasure Snail seemed to like his head a lot.
It did not want to stay anywhere else other than on top of Ye Xuan’s head.
Ye Xuan thought that if he got the Tidal Treasure Snail to choose whether it would like to stay on Ye Xuan’s head or in the beast lair every day, the Tidal Treasure Snail would probably make a decision that would surprise everyone.
As he thought about that, Ye Xuan used his mind to use the Beast Editor to check the attributes that the Tidal Treasure Snail had right now.
The results did not surprise him.
After the Tidal Treasure Snail leveled up, its beast grade had dropped down to four stars.
Its skills remained largely unchanged.
However, some of the skills had also dropped in grade.
But the Tidal Treasure Snail had moved up to the Bronze level.
Even though its skill proficiency had also fallen, it did improve compared to before.
“We shall see what other new skills you can obtain next.”
Ye Xuan took out two silvery-gold beads using his mind.
The silvery-gold beads were the platinum-level secret treasure he had received after getting through the Translucent Secret Realm. They were called Phantom Orbs of Sol.
A platinum-level secret treasure was too high level for Ye Xuan.
Even though he had received Treasure Affinity’s talent because he had contracted the Tidal Treasure Snail, he couldn’t refine a Phantom Orb of Sol with his Dark-Iron three-stars Treasure Affinity talent.
That was why he had kept the orb until now.
He had kept it for when the Tidal Treasure Snail progressed to the Bronze level.
“Edit!”
Ye Xuan split his consciousness and went to the beast editor in his mind.
Then, he edited the Tidal Treasure Snail and the Phantom Orb of Sol in his hand together.
The Tidal Treasure Snail only needed one platinum-level secret treasure this time to rise in stars. It could be completed by editing the Tidal Treasure Snail together with the secret treasure.
Buzz!
With an odd buzzing sound, the Phantom Orb of Sol in Ye Xuan’s hand turned into a two-colored ray of light that sped straight into the body of the Tidal Treasure Snail.
The body of the Tidal Treasure Snail shook slightly. Then, it glowed with a silvery-gold sheen that was barely visible.
“It’s done!”
Ye Xuan was excited.
Then, he took a look at the Tidal Treasure Snail’s new attributes after it rose in grade.
[Tidal Treasure Snail (Space Element/ Mystery Element): Five Stars
Level: High Bronze Level
Skill1: Level 2 Tidal Spiral
Skill 2: Level 2 Tidal Vortex
Skill 3: Level 2 Real-Time Map
Skill 4, 5, 6: Level 3 (Treasure Hunting, Treasure Stashing, Treasure Devouring)
Skill 7: Level 2 Treasure Snail Image
After the Tidal Treasure Snail melded together with the Phantom Orb of Sol, it gained the ability to create a phantom image of itself that looked the same as it.
The phantom Tidal Treasure Snail created had all the abilities that the original Tidal Treasure Snail had.
However, it would also suffer double the damage when it was attacked.
After the phantom Tidal Treasure Snail dies, the Tidal Treasure Snail would only be able to create another Treasure Snail Image the day after.]
Moments later, Ye Xuan managed to determine the Tidal Treasure Snail’s new attributes after it had risen in stars due to its melding with the Phantom Orb of Sol.
“High Bronze Level?”
An expression of shock crossed Ye Xuan’s face after he determined the Tidal Treasure Snail’s Attributes.
He did not expect the Treasure Tidal Snail to reach the High Bronze Level after it melded together with a Phantom Orb of Sol.
This was beyond his expectations.
He had originally thought that the Tidal Treasure Snail might level up after it evolves.
However, he had just thought that the Tidal Treasure Snail might rise to the Mid Bronze level.
He had never imagined that the Snail would skip through the Mid Bronze level.
And into the High Bronze level.
“And... The Treasure Snail Image.”
Ye Xuan turned to look at the new skill that the Tidal Treasure Snail had received.
This ability is similar to how the Heavenly Punishment Thundercloud Wings had obtained the Heavenly Punishment Divine Soldier after it had risen in stars.
But the difference was that the Treasure Snail Image that was the Tidal Treasure Snail’s phantom image could exist forever and possess all of its abilities.
This was unlike the Heavenly Punishment Divine Soldier, a phantom image of the Heavenly Punishment Thundercloud Wings. The Heavenly Punishment Divine Soldier could only be summoned temporarily.
And it did not have all the abilities of the Heavenly Punishment Thundercloud Wings.
However, comparing the two, it was impossible to say which one was more powerful than the other.
After all, the Heavenly Punishment Divine Soldier also has its own strengths.
The Heavenly Punishment Thundercloud Wings would immediately summon another Heavenly Punishment Divine Soldier after the first one dies.
The Tidal Treasure Snail would not be able to do that.
“Four hundred meters.”
Also, as the Tidal treasure Snail leveled up to the High Bronze level and successfully rose to a four-star grade, Ye Xuan realized that he could call the Tidal Treasure Snail from its beast lair 400 meters away.
That was 100 meters more than the Heavenly Punishment Thundercloud Wings.
“Not bad, not bad.”
Ye Xuan plucked the Tidal Treasure Snail from his head and played with it. He liked it very much.
Ye Xuan also realized that the Tidal Treasure Snail’s edges had become sharper after leveled up and evolved.
Woosh!
At this time, the aura of the Tidal Treasure Snail in Ye Xuan’s hands transformed. There was a whoosh, and it suddenly split into two.
It split into two identical Tidal Treasure Snails.
“What...”
Ye Xuan looked at the two identical Tidal Treasure Snails in front of him. He was slightly surprised.
These two Tidal Treasure Snails looked the same. If he did not use the beast editor and only used his sense of perception, he would not tell which one was the real Tidal Treasure Snail and the phantom image.
There did not seem to be any difference between the two at all.
“In this case, doesn’t that mean that I have two High Bronze level fighters in my hands?”
“Furthermore, the Tidal Treasure Snail is a five-star bronze-level beast. Although most of its abilities are auxiliary, it should be more powerful compared to an ordinary High Bronze level beast, right?”
At this moment, Ye Xuan seemed to have thought of something, and he suddenly grew excited.
“If that’s the case, I will try to attempt to challenge Nova Hall and get on the Jiangzhou University’s Rising Star List. It should be possible, right?”
“I can give it a try!”
With that thought, Ye Xuan took out his mobile phone and gave Lin Shiru a call.
The Rising Star List was important.
But what was more important was that he could contract new beasts after breaking through into the Bronze level.
Ye Xuan scanned his Spirit Ocean while he called Lin Shiru.
He could sense that as the Tidal Treasure Snail leveled up into the Bronze level and then evolved to the High Bronze level, his Spirit Ocean had been reverse nurtured and had changed rapidly.
In just a short period of time, his Spirit Sea had widened and expanded, reaching the level of a bronze-level beast tamer.
And the speed of its expansion had continued to rush forward after slowing down a little.
It had only stopped when his cultivation levels rose sharply upon reaching the Low Bronze Level.
“Sure enough, although Bronze-level beasts would reverse nurture the beast tamer to a large extent, the beast tamer would also need more reverse nurturing upon reaching the Bronze level.
Ye Xuan took a deep breath and felt a little regretful when he saw that he had not been able to cross into the Mid Bronze level at one go.
But that was just it.
The Tidal Treasure, Snail’s reverse, did not end when Ye Xuan had broken through and became a Bronze Level Beast tamer.
Instead, it would be able to reverse nurture Ye Xuan every minute and every second in the future.
However, this sort of reverse nurturing was like a trickle of water. It would take a long time to accumulate before it started to become effective.
But other than Ye Xuan, most of the other beast tamers actually rely on this kind of reverse nurturing to make a breakthrough slowly.
“And also...”
When Ye Xuan thought about this, his mind suddenly twitched, and he reached out to sense his Spirit Ocean once more.
The expansion of his Spirit Sea had slowed down.
But somewhere within his Spirit Sea, something was changing drastically.
“Is it a new beast taming talent?”
Ye Xuan grew excited.
