Beast Taming: I can even raise gods and demons!

Chapter 198 Soul-Nourishing Force Field (6702)

"The 'Mind Control' skill can control enemies for 5 seconds, ignoring physical defense, but it may fail or be weakened under strong magical defense."

"The 'Mind Control' skill cannot be used on beings whose mental strength is much stronger than the caster's, as it is prone to backlash from mental strength. Use with caution."

"When casting the 'Mind Control' skill, the caster's own movements will be restricted, the flow of star power will be difficult, and it will be difficult to cast other skills or actions."

Chen Fan's eyes lit up as he read the description of the "Soul Nourishing Wood Spirit" mind control skill!

Both being mental skills, Mind Control and Mind Spikes each have their own strengths.

Xiao Hei's "Mental Spikes" have the advantage of being simple and direct. They can instantly disrupt the enemy's rhythm, interrupt their spellcasting or other actions, and expose their weaknesses when the enemy has not erected a mental barrier (those below the fifth rank cannot control their mental power and do not have a mental barrier).

Even magical defenses like "Obsidian Armor" or "Azure Crystal Armor" cannot stop the mental spikes.

However, "mind control" is affected by various magical armors or shields, and may fail or be weakened under strong magical defenses.

From this perspective, the mental spike is superior.

However, Xiao Hei's "Mental Spikes" are unlikely to kill beings of the same or even higher level in one move.

Therefore, Chen Fan usually uses this skill in conjunction with his Nine Heavenly Slashes to achieve a one-hit kill effect.

"Mind control," if used properly, can potentially kill a powerful enemy in one strike.

For example, the fifth rank...

If one's own side cannot break through the opponent's defenses, even using mental spikes will be ineffective.

Even if the other person stands still and lets you chop, you might not be able to actually cut them.

However, the Mind Control skill can control enemies for 5 seconds!

What if you use this skill to control an enemy and make them commit suicide?

Chen Fan didn't know how powerful this skill was or whether it would produce any special effects when used.

But this skill made Chen Fan feel that there were endless possibilities.

That being said, while this skill is powerful, its drawbacks are also very obvious...

Its effectiveness is easily weakened by magic defense.

It should be noted that those at the fourth rank and above can already condense star power armor.

Even if the enemy has no other defenses, just the Star Power Armor alone could significantly weaken the effect of this skill!

If an enemy is wearing Star Power Armor, a heavily armored battle suit, and then covered with a layer of Beast Taming Magic Defense Armor...

Can mind control still work?

And this last point is even more fatal...

"When casting the 'Mind Control' skill, the caster's own movements will be restricted, the flow of star power will be difficult, and it will be difficult to cast other skills or actions."

If the enemy has allies, wouldn't using this move also put oneself in a desperate situation?

Therefore, this tactic can only be used for surprise attacks when one's own safety can be guaranteed.

Chen Fan only glanced at it, but one thought after another had already flashed through his mind.

Before Chu Xuan and the others could react, Chen Fan summoned the orange cat.

For mental skills, orange cats with strong mental power are definitely the most suitable.

Although the old sect leader's soul was almost shattered and then sealed inside an orange cat by Empress Ye Hongyan, even a starved camel is bigger than a horse, and his spiritual power is still a notch stronger than that of an ordinary fifth-grade cultivator.

"You bastard!"

As soon as the orange cat climbed out of the beast-taming space, it angrily said, "You really think I'm your beast tamer, coming and going as you please?!"

Chu Xuan and Shen Hongxiu were all stunned when they heard this.

Aren't you Chen Fan's tamed beast?

You've already signed a contract and can freely enter and exit the Beast Taming Space. If you're not Chen Fan's tamed beast, what are you?

Chen Fan ignored the orange cat.

After he had Zhuo Sheng open the door to the training ground, he went straight to the Soul Nourishing Wood Spirit.

The spirit of the Soul-Nourishing Wood remained motionless, like an old wooden stake.

But the other four beasts immediately showed hostile looks when they saw the strangers enter.

Behind them, the two administrators immediately ran to the front and said a few words of reassurance to the beasts.

All four beasts turned their heads away and continued to lie on the grass basking in the sun.

Chen Fan walked up to Mu Ling and squatted down.

Mu Ling was a bit weak and had a gentle temperament. Even when Chen Fan walked to the side, she just rolled her eyes and acted as if she didn't care.

After glancing at the Wood Spirit's attribute panel, Chen Fan asked the two administrators, "How long has the Wood Spirit been here? What do you usually feed it?"

The two administrators did not recognize Chen Fan.

But seeing Zhuo Sheng and Zhang Wei respectfully following beside him, he knew that Chen Fan was no ordinary person.

One of them quickly replied, "It's been here for three days. During these three days, it has been eating the meat of wood-attribute monsters, but the level of those monsters is generally below level 9, so it seems very dissatisfied."

Another administrator said, "I don't know why, but even though it's eaten its fill, it always seems very weak."

Of course I'm weak...

The flesh of those wood-attribute monsters mainly replenishes its star power, but it is difficult to replenish or even enhance its spiritual power.

Just like that guy Xiao Hei, even if you feed him level 10+ demon monster meat every day, Xiao Hei won't be satisfied. He needs to devour souls frequently.

However, the spirit of the Soul-Nourishing Wood does not possess any skills such as devouring or harvesting souls.

The materials that help enhance mental strength are also extremely rare. Even if Shop No. 9 really had them, it's unlikely they would be given to these beasts to eat.

Chen Fan's gaze fell on the Wood Spirit's skill "Soul Nourishing Field".

"The 'Soul Nourishing Field' can create a force field with a radius of fifty meters. Anyone or any beast within this field can achieve the effect of nourishing their soul."

"Being in the 'Soul Nourishing Field' for a long time can enhance soul power and then strengthen mental power."

"The caster of the 'Soul Nourishing Field' will harvest the spiritual power of all people or beasts within the field... This portion of spiritual power is only a small part of the spiritual power that people or beasts within the field gain, and will not cause any harm to them."

Chen Fan frowned: "Is this Wood Spirit Beastmaster a careless scatterbrain? Such a good skill, why didn't he remind Shop Number Nine?"

Ye Hao leaned forward: "Brother Fan, what skill?"

Chen Fan didn't even look up: "'Soul Nourishing Force Field'."

Everyone present was shocked!

This wood spirit actually possesses a force field that is said to enhance spiritual power?

Chen Fan blinked and extended his hand to Mu Ling: "Hello, my name is Chen Fan, and I am the beast tamer of Shop No. 9."

Mu Ling was stunned for a moment.

The animal breeders who took care of it before were all old men.

This kid in front of me actually claims to be a beast tamer?

Mu Ling moved slightly, extended her branch-like hand, and shook hands with Chen Fan.

After touching the Wood Spirit, Chen Fan took the opportunity to copy "mind control" onto the orange cat.

The system energy that had accumulated since yesterday afternoon has been used up in an instant.

Orange cat: "Hmm?"

"Chen Fan, get this for me..."

Before he could finish speaking, a summoning circle appeared, and Chen Fan reached out and pressed the orange cat's head down, sending it into his beast-taming space.

Then, his voice rang in my mind: "Fat Cat, copying the skill onto you is my secret. Can't you tell me what you want to say back in the Beast Taming Space?"

The orange cat roared, "If you call me an orange cat again, I'll get you!"

Chen Fan ignored him.

The orange cat's eyes darted around, its gaze sweeping over Xiaobai and Gangzi.

No...

These guys all have terrible tempers; if you piss them off, you're in big trouble.

The orange cat ran up to the old ape and said, "Old ape, I've learned a new skill. Can you help me demonstrate it?"

The old ape paused for a moment, then nodded.

Immediately, a glint flashed in the orange cat's eyes, activating mind control.

The old ape's body shuddered, and it instantly lost control of its body.

Then, the orange cat controlled the old ape to do a handstand, and then, like a shaman, it ran up to Gangzi and started jumping.

Gangzi: "..."

noob:"……"

A group of tamed beasts stared at the old ape, dumbfounded.

It's normal for this kind of thing to happen to Gangzi and Feicui.

But the old ape was mature and prudent, even eating in a very gentlemanly manner, and never did any of the comical things that apes do.

How could it be so sudden...?

Five seconds later, the old ape regained control of his body.

He looked at the orange cat, speechless.

Fortunately, this is inside the Beast Taming Space.

If this happened outside, it would be a social disaster.

The orange cat blinked: "This thing isn't very useful. When I use this skill, I can't move."

"What if someone comes and stabs me right now? I'd be completely finished!"

"Little Black's mental spikes are still the most useful."

Little Black huffed and puffed, "You despicable, shameless robber! You're vile! Shameless! You stole my skills! I curse you to be infertile and have a house full of children!"

Xiao Bai and Gangzi were all amused.

Xiaoqing walked around the orange cat with great curiosity, her eyes filled with envy and jealousy.

……

When the Beast Taming Space was in chaos...

Chen Fan said to the wood spirit, "I am the beast tamer of Shop No. 9, and my home is not far away."

"Come with me. I can help you increase your combat power and race level, and find many beasts to replenish your soul power."

The previously "sickly" Mu Ling immediately raised her head.

Zhang Wei immediately stepped forward and said, "Young Master Fan is Master Zhang Hai's disciple and the strongest beast tamer in Shop No. 9 besides Master Zhang Hai."

"At the same time, he is also the true owner of Shop No. 9."

Upon hearing Zhang Wei's words, the spirit of the Soul-Nourishing Wood immediately nodded.

Chen Fan immediately put Mu Ling in the car.

Shen Hongxiu and Fang Qingqing remained silent.

But they all knew about the "Soul Nourishing Field" skill, and knew that this skill could help Beast Tamers and their beasts improve their spiritual power.

No wonder Chen Fan exclaimed in surprise in the car!

but……

I summoned the orange cat and then sent it back to the Beast Taming Space.

What does this mean?

……

After driving around for a long time and recording all the information on the beasts in Shop No. 9, Chen Fan led a large group of people up the mountain road behind Shop No. 9 and returned home.

As soon as he got home, Chen Fan summoned Xiao Bai, Gangzi, and the others.

Chu Xuan and the others didn't need any prompting; they all summoned their beasts.

The group of tamed beasts were already very familiar with each other, and as soon as they came out of the tamed beast space, they immediately started playing together, laughing and joking.

Seeing that Feng Tianlin had also summoned his beast, Chen Fan immediately stretched out his hand: "Pay up, pay up!"

Feng Tianlin's face immediately fell: "You're using someone else's beast to create a 'Soul Nourishing Field' here, and then you want to charge us?"

Chen Fan said, "I was originally planning to charge for the Soul Nourishing Field, but considering that we're quite familiar with each other, I'll consider it a freebie... What I want is the fee for Beast Taming."

"One beast's combat power level and racial level are each one level, worth two million Alliance Coins."

Feng Tianlin's face darkened even more: "It wasn't this expensive in Donghai City!"

"Nonsense!" Chen Fan said, "The higher the level of the beast taming, the more difficult it is to raise!"

"Does your Feng family have any beast tamers that are over level 30?"

"You offer one million; do you want a beast tamer to help you raise a beast over level 30?"

Feng Tianlin's expression improved slightly, and he nodded: "For a beast in its thirties or so that it can be upgraded by one level, my Feng family would definitely be able to afford it even if we had to pay a billion or eight hundred million."

"For a beast of that level, advancing even one level is incredibly difficult!"

Chen Fan immediately narrowed his eyes: "Your Feng family has level 30+ beast tamers, and you're willing to pay 1 billion or 800 million?"

Feng Tianlin frowned: "Forget about it... I know you're powerful, but you want to raise a level 30+ beast? Are you kidding me?"

"Unless you can persuade your master to let Master Zhang Hai help our Feng family cultivate beasts."

Chen Fan didn't say anything more. He just walked around and then stretched out his hand to everyone: "Hurry up. If you want to raise beasts, then pay up. Even brothers should keep their accounts clear."

"You eat my food and live in my house, and I haven't even taken any money from you yet!"

Li Fengxing scratched his head: "Brother Fan, I'm not wearing your clothes or pants, am I?"

Chen Fan kicked Li Fengxing.

Shen Hongxiu pouted and said, "Even close brothers keep clear accounts, so why would husband and wife need to keep accounts?"

Fang Qingqing sneered, "Shameless!"

Chen Fan stared wide-eyed and turned his head.

Fang Qingqing blushed: "I...I wasn't talking about you, I was talking about Shen Hongxiu."

Chen Fan held out his hand to Shen Hongxiu: "Pay up!"

"Don't try to play tricks on me. Each of you has hundreds of millions on you, why are you dragging your feet about handing over a few million?"

"I haven't made any money off you guys... The materials needed to upgrade each beast probably cost more than that!"

Shen Hongxiu pouted: "What if Ruge comes? Will she have to pay too?"

"Nonsense!" Chen Fan said, "Ru Ge is my niece, not my daughter."

"Back in Donghai City, I trained a beast for her for free."

"I received money for training and taming beasts afterwards."

Shen Hongxiu glared at Chen Fan resentfully: "You're obsessed with money!"

"There's no way around it, I was terrified of being poor before," Chen Fan said. "As the saying goes... poor people don't mince words."

"And my armor got destroyed, so I need to replace it, which will cost a lot of money."

Left with no other choice, everyone had to obediently transfer the money.

When it was Shangguan Canglong's turn, he stammered, "Can...can we compete to see who can buy on credit?"

Chen Fan was a little speechless: "Before, only Fengxing asked me for credit, now you're asking me for credit too... Alright, alright, I'll put it on your tab."

After collecting the money, Chen Fan said, "Everyone, please help me with this..."

"The Wood Spirit's soul-nourishing field covers an area of ​​fifty meters in radius."

"Draw a circle with a radius of fifty meters on the grass for me."

A group of people immediately got to work, carrying down pieces of bluestone from the mountain and forming a circle with a radius of fifty meters.

Then, Chen Fan picked up Mu Ling and ran, carrying Mu Ling to the center of the circle.

Wood Spirit: "..."

Chen Fan laughed and said, "Alright, Mu Ling, activate the 'Soul Nourishing Field' now."

The Wood Spirit blinked and activated the "Soul Nourishing Field".

Chen Fan and the others, who were in the Soul Nourishing Field, immediately felt a peculiar sensation.

It feels like basking in the winter sun, warm and cozy, very comfortable.

Chen Fan waved his hand, and all the tamed beasts ran into the circle.

A group of tamed beasts immediately sensed the abnormality.

At this moment, Chen Fan clapped his hands and said, "Everyone, pay attention! From now on, whether you're playing around or training, try to stay within this circle... no, to be precise, keep the Wood Spirit at the center and don't stray more than fifty meters away from it."

"Do you understand?"

The Frost White Python darted to Chen Fan's feet and nodded repeatedly.

The Golden Horned Dragon of the Cold Pool, who was a step behind, was furious and cursed the ancestors of the Frost White Python for eighteen generations in his mind.

The Illusionary King Azure Python Golden Horned Beast spoke in human language: "Ah, this feels so good... This wooden stake's skills are so strange!"

Chen Fan said, "This is not a strange skill, it is an extremely powerful skill, it is the 'Soul Nourishing Force Field'."

"This 'Soul Nourishing Field' can help Beastmasters and their beasts enhance their spiritual power."

The Illusion King Azure Python Golden Horned Beast gaped, and after a long while, it said, "So amazing! Oh, I wish I had that skill!"

Xiao Hei scoffed: "Stop dreaming. This kind of skill belongs to the mental category, and only a strong person like me deserves to possess it."

"Master, please steal it for me..."

Before Xiao Hei could finish speaking, Chen Fan grabbed his mouth.

Chen Fan transmitted his thoughts: "You idiot, say one more word and I'll roast you and eat you!"

Xiao Hei: "I forgot... Fine, I won't tell you, okay?"

Chen Fan loosened his grip.

Chu Xuan: "What did Xiao Hei say he stole?"

Chen Fan imitated the opening lines from an animal documentary, saying, "Spring has arrived, all things are reviving, and it's time for the animals on the grasslands to mate... Little Black has grown up and is starting to dream about spring; he wants to steal a female bird."

Henry Chu: "..."

Shen Hongxiu: "Pah! Pah! Pah!"

The Illusionary King Azure Python Golden Horned Beast: "Pah! Pah! Pah!"

The goblin chuckled.

Fang Qingqing glared at Xiao Bu.

Xiao Bu's laughter came to an abrupt halt.

Chen Fan waved his hand: "What are you all standing there for? Go cultivate if you need to, or train your beasts if you need to."

Ye Hao and the others shrugged and took their beasts to find training grounds in the circle.

Feng Tianlin caught up with Ye Hao and asked, "Ye Hao, you all live here?"

Ye Hao nodded: "Yes, we rented Brother Fan's house."

Feng Tianlin was somewhat tempted: "How much is the rent?"

Ye Hao scoffed, "Fan Ge and I are brothers, what are you talking about rent?"

Feng Tianlin: "..."

Damn it, Ye Hao is even more shameless than himself.

Feng Tianlin then said, "Please help me, rent a room for me too."

Ye Hao smiled and said, "Stop dreaming. There's another house here, which Fan Ge left for Ru Ge. Ru Ge will probably arrive tomorrow."

Feng Tianlin was dejected.

He was no richer than Shangguan Canglong and the others, and after these several beast-breeding experiences, he was now penniless.

Asking your family for money will definitely not yield much.

the most important is……

You can get free food, drinks, and "soul-nourishing field" from Chen Fan.

They've now fallen far behind Ye Hao and his group.

When Ye Hao and the others cultivate in the Soul Nourishing Field, they will make rapid progress, and wouldn't they be so fast that even riding a horse wouldn't be able to catch up?

But there are no rooms left...

Feng Tianlin was very depressed.

Just then, Shangguan Wulei walked over and said, "Sigh, with your IQ..."

Feng Tianlin roared, "Shangguan Wulei, show me some respect!"

"Can't you even do math?" Shangguan Wulei pointed to the row of houses and said, "So many houses, and only a few people like Chu Xuan... Count on your fingers and do it properly."

"Ye Hao said there's only one room left, so you believe there's only one left?"

Feng Tianlin was stunned for a moment, then glared angrily at Ye Hao.

Ye Hao rolled his eyes: "Fan Ge uses the other rooms as storage."

Feng Tianlin immediately deflated like a punctured balloon.

Shangguan Wulei then pointed to a row of houses on the right side of the gate and said, "That's the warehouse. A warehouse that big is more than enough."

Ye Hao glanced at Shangguan Wulei, then remained silent.

Feng Tianlin is easy to fool.

But Shangguan Wulei is not easy to deal with.

Feng Tianlin glared angrily at Ye Hao again.

But Ye Hao pretended not to see it and went to train his four beasts, including Saint Moon Morning Glory.

The same applies to Chu Xuan and his companions.

Neither humans nor beast tamers were idle.

On the way to Shanghai, Chen Fan had told them about the proficiency of beast taming skills.

Chen Fan can help all beast tamers improve their skill proficiency.

However, the upper limit of skill proficiency can only be broken through by these beast tamers themselves through hard work.

The Darkblood Stone Golem's most frequently used skill is "Obsidian Armor," so this skill has broken through the skill proficiency cap, and with Chen Fan's help, it has become even stronger in the blink of an eye;

Dragonblood Lion's favorite skill is "Blazing Dance," so after breaking through the skill's upper limit of 100 points, Chen Fan directly increased it to 150 points.

However, since the Holy Moon Morning Glory is a healing-type beast, its skills are rarely used during training, so many of its skills remain stuck at 100 points and cannot be broken through.

Now that they've arrived in Shanghai and finally settled down, Ye Hao and Chu Xuan immediately began training their beasts with all their might.

Last night, Shen Hongxiu and Fang Qingqing also learned about skill proficiency from Shen Daodao, so they practiced very diligently.

In fact, Chu Xuan and the others didn't need to urge them at all.

After Chu Xuan and the others communicated with their beast tamers using their thoughts, the group of beast tamers already knew the benefits of training.

Without any supervision from Ye Hao and the others, a group of beast tamers began training frantically.

The Holy Moon Morning Glory darted here and there, first casting the skill "Star Power Burn" on all the tamed beasts, and then desperately casting healing spells on them.

The group of tamed beasts were furious.

But the Holy Moon Morning Glory was like the youngest sister, and although the beast tamers were annoyed, they ultimately did not blame her.

They also knew that Hua Hua was training her skills and wanted to improve her proficiency.

Meanwhile, Chen Fan was testing "mind control" with his orange cat.

"Feed, feed..."

The orange cat communicated telepathically with Chen Fan: "Help me copy that 'Soul Nourishing Field'!"

"Oh right, I forgot, also copy Xiao Hei's 'Soul Devouring' skill to me."

"These two skills will help me recover my soul power!"

"It will take a few more days," Chen Fan said.

The system's energy has been used up to just over 20,000 units.

The system energy consumption for copying skills is enormous.

Orange cat: "Why do we have to wait a few more days?"

Chen Fan: "There aren't that many whys, just wait patiently."

Seeing Chen Fan's secretive demeanor, Shen Daodao secretly approached.

As soon as he approached...

The orange cat turned its head and smiled slightly at him.

Shen Daodao was stunned for a moment, then raised his hands and slapped himself a few times, left and right.

Then, he ran a few steps, hugged a big tree, and smashed it hard with his head, denting the trunk.

"..."

Shen Daodao woke up and stared in disbelief at his hands and the dents in the tree.

What did I do?

What did I just do?

Am I possessed?

Why should I hit myself?

Not far away, the old blind man, who was lying in a rocking chair basking in the sun, raised his head, glanced at the orange cat, and scratched his head.

Immediately, the old blind man lay back down, his empty eyes silently "looking" at the sky.

Above the sky, the wind swirls up the remaining clouds.

A star invisible to ordinary people is shining brightly.

The old blind man took a deep breath.

Human Emperor Star has also moved north...

As Chen Fan and his group headed north towards Shanghai, the Human Emperor Star also moved northward.

Time is running out...

If we can't find the Human Emperor Star soon, it might be too late.

The old blind man tilted his head slightly and "looked" at Chen Fan again.
