Beastmaster: I'm really not a training master

Chapter 891 Preparing for the Experiment, Illusory Body of Yinghuo

Li Qian was quite surprised. He had assumed that there would be no problem with the skills he was learning.

The problem likely lies elsewhere.

Who would have thought that this was indeed an oversight, and what surprised him even more was that he actually had to learn the skill "Golden Spirit Shield".

This "Golden Spirit Shield" is a metal-type skill, and even among the vast number of metal-type skills, it is a very basic one.

Upon learning that this was the skill he lacked, Li Qian felt that spending those four achievement points was absolutely worthwhile.

If he hadn't spent those four achievement points to complete the task, he would never have imagined that it would be such a basic metal-type skill.

Therefore, it's no wonder that Professor Luo Yunjie, despite studying the problem for so long and knowing exactly where it lies, has been unable to solve it.

Such a cunning oversight would take even Li Qian, let alone Professor Luo Yunjie, a long time to figure out, even with his cheat-like abilities.

"Golden Spirit Shield, and it's only at the beginner level..." Recalling the information that had been injected into his mind, Li Qian couldn't help but mutter to himself.

Without pausing, he continued, speculating, "The fact that it's only at the beginner level means that this skill is likely just a starting point, a trigger for mastering the Tai Chi Domain skill."

Finally, he shook his head, banishing all these random thoughts from his mind. "Forget it, I already have the information. There's no point in thinking about it so much. Let's start the experiment right away."

It wasn't that he was uninformed and intended to deal with things without understanding the underlying reasons; it was simply that at this moment, there simply wasn't enough time to delve into the logic behind it.

As for the logic behind learning this skill, Li Qian will definitely figure it out when he has enough time in the future.

Li Qian knew very well that only by figuring out the underlying logic could his training level truly be improved.

After submitting Task Two, he wasted no more time and left the incubation room to notify Professor Luo Yunjie and Principal Yuchi.

The two arrived quickly, almost one after the other.

Li Qian was also a little surprised that Principal Yuchi would stay at Mizhou Beast Taming University for so long.

It can only be said that Shazhou Beast Taming University is indeed somewhat wary in this regard.

Although Li Qian really wanted to say that it was unnecessary, it was, after all, a manifestation of how much Shazhou Beast Taming University valued him, and ultimately, it was a heartfelt gesture, so he couldn't point it out and just let them be.

Upon their arrival, Li Qian wasted no time and immediately spoke, expressing his thoughts: "Professor Luo, Principal Yuchi, after so many days of research, I have figured out a general experimental plan, and now we need to find a test subject."

Upon hearing this, Principal Yuchi immediately chimed in, volunteering, "Let's find my Tai Chi Panda."

Luo Yunjie echoed, "My Tai Chi Panda is also acceptable."

Li Qian nodded, glanced at Principal Yuchi and Professor Luo Yunjie, and without much thought, agreed, "Yes, Principal Yuchi and Professor Luo, your Tai Chi Panda is fine."

For him, it made no difference whether he conducted one experiment or two.

In fact, conducting one more experiment is a good thing, as it allows for the collection of more data.

"But my test subject needs to master a few skills beforehand." Without pausing, he continued, stating his requirements.

"What skill?" Luo Yunjie asked, a hint of doubt still lingering in her eyes.

Li Qian's past achievements were indeed formidable, almost overwhelming all trainers of the same age.

However, she had also studied the skill of Tai Chi Domain, and was well aware of its difficulty.

It was precisely because she knew this that she had doubts.

"Perfect-level Light Domain and Dark Domain." Li Qian held up one finger, making his first request.

Principal Yuchi was very familiar with his contracted Tai Chi Panda, and he immediately nodded in response, "No problem, my Tai Chi Panda has already met this condition."

Luo Yunjie smiled and said, "My Tai Chi Panda has also been achieved."

Both of their Tai Chi Pandas could meet this skill requirement, so Li Qian wasn't surprised at all.

Their Tai Chi Pandas have all advanced to the legendary level, so their skill mastery must be extremely high.

Besides, these two skills are two of the core skills of Tai Chi Panda, so it's normal that they are highly mastered.

Nodding, Li Qian continued, "And there's the master-level ultimate technique, Radiant Blade!"

"no problem."

"No problem either!"

Principal Yuchi and Luo Yunjie also nodded.

Next, Li Qian added, "The Light Radiance and Shadow Sphere, which break through the limits."

"Well, my Tai Chi Panda still needs some training." As soon as he said this, a look of embarrassment appeared on Principal Yuchi's face.

Luo Yunjie, however, was still nodding, "I don't need it, I've already trained to the limit-breaking level."

Seeing their reactions, Li Qian didn't say anything more.

Low-level skills, unless they involve major events like evolution or mastering ultimate skills, are actually meaningless even if they evolve to the limit-breaking level.

The power is just so-so.

It's perfectly normal that Principal Yuchi didn't master Tai Chi Panda.

As for Luo Yunjie's Tai Chi Panda, the reason she mastered it is most likely because she is also a breeder and wants to study the Tai Chi Domain skill.

"Finally, there's a rather special skill."

He paused, exhaled, glanced at the two men, and after a moment, made his next request.

"What skill?" Luo Yunjie asked curiously.

She guessed that this skill might be the key, so her eyes were filled with curiosity.

"A beginner-level Golden Spirit Shield!"

However, when Li Qian spoke and mentioned this last skill, she couldn't help but be stunned for a moment.

She was a little unsure and asked, "What? Is it that basic metal-type skill, Golden Spirit Shield?"

Li Qian chuckled and gave an affirmative reply, "Yes, it's that basic metal-type skill!"

"It really makes one feel..." Principal Yuchi was also a little surprised, but the surprise turned into praise the next moment. "Li Qian, you are so meticulous. You can even come up with such obscure information." Upon hearing Principal Yuchi's praise, Li Qian's lips twitched slightly. "Uh, this information has indeed been researched, but whether it is correct or not, we will only know after testing."

"What you came up with will definitely be fine." Principal Yuchi smiled, showing complete confidence in Li Qian.

After outlining the skill requirements, Li Qian didn't waste any time. He continued, explaining his next plan: "Um, Principal Yuchi and Professor Li, it will probably take you some time to prepare suitable test subjects. I think... I'll head back to Shazhou Beast Taming University first."

"Afterwards, if you have mastered these skills, you can take the test subjects directly to my jade research base."

As soon as he finished speaking, Principal Yuchi immediately chimed in, "Hmm, that's a good idea. Li Qian, you are exceptionally talented and intelligent. Your training level is second to none in the entire Eastern Xia Federation. It is indeed a waste of time to waste here."

"Principal Yuchi, you..." Upon hearing this, Luo Yunjie sighed and a bitter smile appeared on his face.

She wanted to say that there was no need to treat them like thieves, but in the end she didn't say anything.

Because she discovered that their school's principal, Ouyang Huangtian, and even the dean of their training academy, Feng Xiaolian, did indeed harbor this intention.

……

The next day, Li Qian, along with the four contracted women, the little girl Sun Ruirui, Teacher Ling, and Principal Yuchi, returned to Shazhou Beast Taming University.

After returning to Shazhou Beast Taming University and resting for a day, he then devoted himself wholeheartedly to his studies and research once again.

He did not immediately set up new research projects.

Instead, the focus is on learning and consolidation, preparing to spend some time settling down.

"Li Qian, you're back?" Only a day had passed since the incident, and Dean Fei came looking for him.

"How is the research on Taichi panda going? What progress has it made?"

Li Qian smiled and replied, "Progress is good. Next, we need to train the test subjects a bit, which might not be so quick. I'll be back now."

While browsing the documents, he asked, "By the way, Dean Fei, what brings you here to see me now?"

Dean Fei didn't mince words either, getting straight to the point: "The matter of the nine-tailed cat."

"That's right. In the last Blood-Red Sunset Plan, we fell into the Blood Demon Cult's trap and achieved very little."

Li Qian offered a word of comfort, "Destroying so many Gu worm eggs is actually a pretty good result."

Dean Fei said with a wry smile, "But that giant centipede still managed to escape, and none of the Blood Demon Sect's higher-ups were able to catch it."

"Finally, if it weren't for the nine-tailed cat that you helped Dean Pan Bing evolve, and Teacher Ling's help, neither Principal Yu Chi nor Teacher Zeng Hongliang would have had an easy time escaping that crimson little world."

"Through this incident, we have seen a certain possibility in the nine-tailed cat."

Li Qian understood the implication in his words and asked directly, "A talent ability, like the 'Nine Nether Eyes'?"

Dean Fei nodded. "Yes, according to the information you told us before, the Nine-Tailed Cat's innate ability likely comes from the corpses of the feline pets it fused with."

"Does that mean that if the body of another feline pet is fused with, the awakened ability is likely to be a different talent?"

Upon hearing this, Li Qian pondered for a moment, then nodded in agreement, "The possibility is very high."

"Of course, it's also possible that no talent or ability can be awakened. To me, this is like opening a blind box."

Without removing his VR glasses, Li Qian chuckled, guessing the purpose of Dean Fei's visit: "The university wants to conduct research in this area?"

Dean Fei replied, "Yes!"

Li Qian smiled and said, "I have no problem at all. Regardless of whether I can awaken my talent or what talent I awaken, the evolution method is the same."

"It's not difficult for me."

"But what about you guys? How did you manage to collect so many high-level cat pet corpses?"

Dean Fei smiled and said confidently, "You don't need to worry about that. We've already started preparations."

"Don't forget, we are not only Shazhou Beast Taming University, but also one of the eight major universities."

"I understand." Li Qian instantly realized.

Dean Fei's words had a very clear implication: that Shazhou Beast Taming University could mobilize the resources of the Eight Great Universities to help collect materials.

Li Qian thought about it for a moment and understood that this was perfectly normal.

Not surprising.

About three days later, Dean Fei came over again.

They also brought the corpses of six feline pets, one of which was already at the legendary level in terms of strength.

The remaining five also reached the high-level Saint Spirit realm.

With this configuration, evolving a nine-tailed cat is more than enough.

After obtaining various evolution materials and the corpses of feline pets, Li Qian wasted no more time and began to get busy.

Having already completed one evolution, Li Qian easily completed another one this time.

This time, just like last time, it evolved into a large, snow-white cat the size of a leopard.

The big cat has nine tails, but unlike the one Dean Pan Bing contracted before, this nine-tailed cat has a strange purple rune engraved on its forehead.

The evolution was completed in less than an hour when a figure appeared inside the Emerald Research Base.

"Dean Fei, you've come at just the right time!" Li Qian smiled as he looked at Dean Fei, who had suddenly appeared in the Emerald Research Base, and then released the Nine-Tailed Cat that had just completed its evolution.

He pointed to the nine-tailed cat that had just completed its evolution, a slight smile playing on his lips. "Take a look, here's the information about this nine-tailed cat."

As he glanced at the nine-tailed cat, Li Qian continued without stopping, "The cat-like pet corpse you sent over this time is quite interesting. Although it didn't awaken any innate abilities, it did learn a very interesting skill. To be honest, its ability to master this skill is a bit beyond my expectations."

"The Illusion of the Nine-Tailed Cat..." A flash of light appeared in Dean Fei's eyes, and the next moment, all the information about the Nine-Tailed Cat appeared in his pupils.

Upon seeing one of the special skills, even Dean Fei, with his knowledge and composure, couldn't help but show a surprised expression.

He stared at the message, remained silent for a moment, and then uttered a meaningful statement, "With this skill, it can be used as a trump card in life-or-death situations."

In fact, not only Dean Fei, but also Li Qian himself, couldn't help but widen their eyes and feel a surge of excitement when they saw the information about this special skill.
