“Hello, Grandpa Winter! Hello, Grandpa Heston!”
Seeing that these two grandmasters were so amiable, Vincent Wolf felt much more at ease.
Vincent Wolf couldn’t figure out what exactly had happened.
Right after the competition ended, without any award ceremony or such, Vincent Wolf was immediately summoned by the two grandmasters.
Looking at these two enthusiastic elders, Vincent Wolf was somewhat puzzled.
He was just an Apprentice Beast Master. Generally, even master-level Beast Masters would put on airs when they meet him. It was nothing like these two, who seemed even friendlier than they would be with their own grandsons.
“Grace Cohen? Why does this name sound so familiar?” As Vincent Wolf pondered upon hearing this name, he suddenly realized that he did seem to know her and had conflicts with her before.
This…
“So, Grace Cohen is actually your granddaughter, Grandpa Heston. No wonder she’s so beautiful and elegant, and so brave and intelligent. I wondered why we got along so well, almost like siblings, turns out it’s due to your excellent guidance, Grandpa Heston!”
Vincent Wolf’s exaggerated compliments managed to make Brad Winter, who usually wore an emotionless face, reveal an expression of satisfaction. “Hahaha, you’re quite interesting, lad. You have good judgment. You’re a talent!”
Seeing Brad Winter laughing joyfully, Aiden Winter ground his teeth in jealousy.
He stepped forward and pulled Vincent Wolf aside, saying, “The Winter Family currently has three beautiful and talented young ladies as our relatives. You seem like a pretty good lad, Vincent Wolf, interested in meeting them?”
“Ahem!” Brad Winter couldn’t stand it any longer and reminded, “Alright, alright.”
Listening to him, Aiden Winter quickly returned to his usual aloof demeanor. However, Vincent Wolf couldn’t help but see him in a new light after that. “Vincent Wolf, have you decided on how you will use our favors?”
“Not yet. It’s such a big decision to be made so suddenly, I don’t have any particular idea in mind. Can I make my decision later when I have thought about it?” Vincent Wolf answered nervously, fearing they might say no.
“Not a problem at all!”
Seeing Vincent Wolf’s cautiousness, Aiden Winter quickly reassured him. “You can use it whenever you want. It’s okay to use it a couple of times more.”
“Here, let’s become friends. You can always come to me if you have any doubts in the future. Feel free to ask me anything about beast taming.”
“Don’t ask Heston. He’s busy working at the Secret Realm Bureau and doesn’t have much time. I’m usually at home and available anytime you need.”
And so, in a daze, Vincent Wolf ended up becoming friends with two grandmasters, was interrogated by Grandmaster Winter as if under a census, and finally left the arena in a daze.
From the end of the competition to this moment, everything felt unreal to Vincent Wolf.
“Are all grandmaster-level Beast Tamer’s really this approachable and friendly?”
Vincent Wolf felt something was off, but he couldn’t quite pinpoint what it was.
“Nevermind, after all, I’m just a small Apprentice Beast Master. Even Barry is now only part of the Middle Fox Tribe, there’s nothing that would draw the grandmasters’ covetous gaze, so I don’t have to fear anything.”
That’s right. Barry now belongs to the Middle Fox Tribe.
During this morning’s simulation, the Life Attribute of Barry increased by 5%, equal to the increase in the Death Attribute.
According to Barry’s own experience, when both of these attributes are below
60%,
if the Life and Death Attributes are equal, Barry’s species level will be promoted to mid -level Commanders.
If they’re not balanced, the level will fall to lower level Commanders, even if one attribute is at 60% and the other at 59%, it won’t work.
If both attributes are above 60%, even if they aren’t balanced, Barry’s Species Level will be elevated to high-level Commanders.
About whether both attributes have reached 100%, Barry felt that he might reach the Monarch Species level.
Vincent Wolf didn’t quite understand why this happened, but he speculated it might due to the mutual suppression of the two attributes.
If one attribute’s high, the other’s low and they can’t find a balance.
Now that the two attributes are proportionally balanced, the Life and Death Powers are intertwined, prompting Barry to awaken a special [Trait].
The [Trait] is a special effect inherent to some pet beasts, most of them are special passives.
For example, the special trait of the high-level Extraordinary Species Slippery Rune, which initially pursued Vincent Wolf during the simulation, was to greatly reduce the physical damage it took.
The trait of Flame Dungeon Elf was to reduce half of the energy consumption when releasing fire techniques.
The trait Barry awakened is being able to solidify [Healing] and [Death Corrosion] abilities on his body.
When Barry gets injured, the healing skill is automatically activated to recover from the injury, and the Death Corrosion skill is applied to the attacker, causing continuous damage.
In addition, any of Barry’s skills can incorporate either one of the [Healing] and [Death Corrosion] abilities.
The reason why Henry Stanford felt more comfortable instead of pain when hit by the Water Cannon was because the Water Cannon had the healing effect.
On the surface, it may seem like my technique is attacking you, but in reality, it’s healing you.
Who says healing cannot be toxic?
Similarly, if Barry shields a beast with Water Flow Armor, and the Water Flow
Armor is covered with a layer of Death Corrosion, the beast enveloped by the Water Flow Armor would still be affected by Death Corrosion, and be trapped within, eventually leading to its death.
As Vincent Wolf was walking, he suddenly saw a pedestrian yelling excitedly in his direction:
“What! Slime-Force King!”
Vincent Wolf looked around and found that he was the only one there.
“Wow! You’re real!”
“Can you sign here!”
“So handsome! The handsome ones really do love to show off!”
After hearing the pedestrian’s yelling, more people started to gather around Vincent Wolf.
“Wait, wait, wait, can anyone tell me what’s going on here?”
Vincent Wolf, who was completely confused, promptly asked for clarification.
“You don’t know?
Master, along with his winged Slime, have emerged from Los Angeles!”
“Yeah, everyone’s given you a cool nickname, they’re calling you the Slime -Force King!”
Upon hearing this, Vincent Wolf was utterly stunned. He quickly pulled out his phone and started to search for his news.
Upon seeing the search results, he instantly wished he could faint.
Vincent Wolf and Barry’s competition had made it to the first place on the Daily Hot Search Rank, with everyone in the comments calling him the Slime-Force King.
What was even more outrageous was that both Aiden Winter and Brad Winter had shared his video, praising him left and right, saying that Vincent Wolf was promising and talented, and that they paled in comparison. They essentially showered him with compliments as if words were free.
“All I wanted was to make a bit of a splash since it’s my first competition, how did I end up as the top search?”
“If I had known, I would’ve acted even more cool. Now what? Slime-Force King, what is that even supposed to mean!”
“Even ‘Once-In-A-Thousand-Years Handsome Young Man’ would have been better!”
