Doomsday: I Become Invincible By Picking Up

Chapter 117

C117 – The Ability of Controlling Beasts

The man’s demeanor shifted abruptly, his mocking expression replaced by sheer astonishment.

Upon Loong Chen channeling his energy, the six mutated beasts that encircled him collapsed to the ground, quivering uncontrollably.

“How is this even possible? Act swiftly and tear him apart!”

The man, now wearing a disbelieving expression, bellowed at the six mutated beasts.

Much to his surprise, the formerly obedient mutated creatures appeared incapable of heeding his commands in this moment.

Their stance remained unchanged.

Loong Chen’s smile turned icy. His Bloodline Power had transcended the level of kings, imbued with the ancient Titan’s aura.

Mutated beasts possessed heightened sensitivity to bloodlines and auras. Loong Chen’s aura dwarfed theirs by magnitudes, leaving them naturally paralyzed with fear.

In the eyes of these few mutated beasts, Loong Chen was no longer merely a human; he had become a nightmarish ancient Titan.

“I already mentioned that I could make them defy your orders, but you doubted me.”

Loong Chen shook his head before his expression grew chilly.

“All I wanted was to ask for directions, to avoid entanglement in these matters. However, you folks insisted on provoking me, so I’ll gladly grant your wish.”

Having said that, Loong Chen’s form flickered and, in an instant, he materialized before the man.

Beneath the man’s horrified expression, Loong Chen seized his neck and applied a slight pressure.

Accompanied by a sharp crack, the man breathed his last before Loong Chen’s eyes.

“Successful pickup. Acquired 2000 units of Spiritual Energy.”

“Successful reception. Gained 5000 units of empirical value.”

“Successful pickup. Attained beast taming extraordinary talent at level 1.”

Beast taming extraordinary talent?

Loong Chen was slightly taken aback. He hadn’t anticipated that he would be able to acquire this extraordinary talent.

After the beast taming extraordinary talent was implanted in Loong Chen’s mind, it provided him with some insight into its nature.

Just as the name suggested, the beast taming extraordinary talent enabled him to establish a soul contract with mutated beasts, granting him control over them.

Once a soul contract was established, the mutated beast would have to obey without question.

“Fascinating.”

Loong Chen muttered to himself, his gaze shifting to the mutated beasts crawling on the ground, piquing his interest.

“System, upgrade my beast taming extraordinary talent.”

“Expend 2,000 empirical value points. Upgrade the beast taming extraordinary talent to level 2.”

“Consume 4,000 empirical value points. Elevate the beast taming extraordinary talent to level 3.”

“Utilize 8,000 empirical value points. Enhance the beast taming extraordinary talent to level 4.”

“Exhaust 16,000 empirical value points. Elevate the beast taming extraordinary talent to level 5.”

“Consumed 32,000 empirical points. The beast taming extraordinary skill has been upgraded to level 6.”

It was imperative to elevate his beast taming extraordinary skill to level 6 to effectively control the Level 5 mutated beast.

“Gather around, all of you.”

Loong Chen signaled to the few Level 5 mutated beasts, and under his commanding presence, the six mutated beasts complied without hesitation.

They scampered over to Loong Chen like obedient puppies, their tails wagging.

“I wish to establish a contract with all of you. Do any of you object?”

Loong Chen inquired, his enhanced beast taming extraordinary skill enabling the mutated beasts to comprehend his words.

This could be considered another facet of the beast taming extraordinary skill’s capabilities.

The six mutated beasts nodded vigorously.

How could they possibly dissent? The overwhelming aura emanating from the person before them stifled even their breath.

Satisfied, Loong Chen then smiled and placed his hand on the head of one of the mutated tigers. In the next moment, a brilliant light emanated.

Loong Chen’s spiritual energy permeated the mutated tiger’s head, and soon, he sensed an inexplicable connection forming between himself and the mutated tiger.

This connection transcended the physical and reached deep into their souls.

With a mere thought from Loong Chen, the mutated tiger began frolicking on the ground like an affectionate puppy.

The group from Polish City was left dumbfounded by this spectacle. As for Scarface’s henchmen, they had already fled upon witnessing the subjugation of the beastman.

Loong Chen chose not to pursue them. He bore no grudges against these individuals, making it unnecessary to eliminate them all.

Subsequently, Loong Chen accepted the remaining five mutated beasts, despite their status as Level 5 mutants.

Perhaps he could discover a method to nurture them in the future, potentially cultivating formidable warriors.

With this notion in mind, Loong Chen suddenly conceived an idea.

He extracted several energy essences from his Dimensional Pocket and tossed them to the mutated beasts.

These were Level 1 energy essences that Loong Chen no longer required, and he continued to deposit them into his Dimensional Pocket.

Now was the time to experiment.

As the mutated beasts caught sight of the energy essences, their eyes gleamed, and they devoured the energy with enthusiasm.

In the ensuing moments, Loong Chen sensed a subtle increase in their strength, confirming the effectiveness of the energy essences.

“These are all for you. Enjoy them at your leisure. Seek me out when I summon you.”

Loong Chen retrieved a stack of energy essences from his Dimensional Pocket, spanning from Level 1 to Level 4, numbering at least a thousand.

These were all obtained by Loong Chen through dispatching zombies or mutated beasts. He now found value only in Level 5 and higher energy essences.

Keeping these energy essences in his Dimensional Pocket would be wasteful, so he opted to provide them directly to the mutants.

The few mutated beasts eagerly nodded in agreement, then lunged towards the pile of energy essences and began voraciously consuming them.

Loong Chen proceeded toward the group of individuals from Polish City.

Upon seeing Loong Chen approaching, the guard captain swiftly shielded the young girl behind him and regarded him with vigilant eyes.

Even though Loong Chen had eliminated Scarface and driven off the bandits, the guard captain harbored suspicions about his intentions.

“Rest assured, I have no intention of causing harm.”

Loong Chen’s lips quirked as he spoke.

Despite his seemingly amiable demeanor, he couldn’t help but wonder why these individuals regarded him with such caution.

The guard captain fixed his gaze on Loong Chen for a moment, then clenched his teeth and stepped forward, addressing him.

“We extend our gratitude for your assistance. It’s greatly appreciated.”

Loong Chen waved his hand, his expression nonchalant.

“I didn’t aid you deliberately. There’s no need for thanks. Just guide me to the nearest human settlement.”

“The closest settlement is Polish City, and that’s our hometown. We can accompany you there.”

At that moment, the young girl chimed in.

The guard captain wore a wry smile. The youth before him possessed an enigmatic strength, and they weren’t certain whether taking him to Polish City might pose a danger.

However, he didn’t dare to decline the request. His own life mattered less than potentially angering this lord and jeopardizing the safety of the young girl.

“Very well, then. Let’s proceed.”

Loong Chen nodded. With the young girl and the group of guards ready, they set off on their journey southward.
