Beast Taming: I'm Really Just a Forest Ranger

Chapter 366 - 203: Unlocking! Advancement Requirements for Spark and Cola!

The night is deep,

After dinner, Chen Yuan and Chen Wenhao pulled the old man into a long chat.

The old man used to go to bed around seven or eight in the evening, but since becoming a Beastmaster, he often stays up until around ten.

The benefits of becoming a Beastmaster are obvious.

Once, Chen Yuan helped the old man fix a phone issue, and accidentally discovered that he was watching teaching videos on the "Eleven Breeding Methods of Ice-type Pet Beasts" at midnight.

The old man’s dedication to the Cold-Biting Ox far surpassed Chen Yuan’s expectations.

Maybe he truly could become a powerful older Beastmaster.

Chen Yuan lay in bed, and with a thought, summoned Spark’s current data panel:

[Race: Flame Cloud Falcon (Collected)

Attribute: Fire

Level: 19 (Tier Two)

Favorability: 93

Skills: Flame Surge (Perfect 1.3/10) + Flame Prison (Proficient 3.4/7) + Flame Energy Assault (Proficient 5.9/7) + Flame Storm (Proficient 2.1/7) +

Quality: Commander

Conditions for Morning Star Quality Promotion: Unlockable]

Compared to when it initially advanced, Spark’s overall combat power has dramatically changed.

Its level is already infinitely close to Tier Three, with all skill proficiency greatly improved, especially Spark’s most frequently used skill, "Flame Surge," which has broken through to the perfect level.

Chen Yuan clearly remembers that when Spark first arrived at the farm, it practiced the "Flame Surge" skill using a shabby paper box, and back then its power was no different from a lighter’s flame.

Only two to three months have passed, and now Spark can puff out its cheeks and effortlessly unleash a thick and scorching flame.

This is no longer a mere Flame Surge; it’s clearly a dragon’s roar.

But compared to Spark’s change in strength, Chen Yuan is now more concerned about its quality.

With the combination of Commander quality and these skills, Spark is already capable of dominating the majority of areas in Qinling.

If its quality were to improve to Morning Star, how much would its overall power increase?

Moreover, Chen Yuan is intensely curious about the "new evolution form" and "racial skills" Chen Wenhao mentioned, and is eager to witness them.

But before that, he has to ask Spark’s opinion: "What are your thoughts?"

Chen Yuan is worried that Spark might not accept its change in form.

It’s like suddenly telling a person that you’ll gain great power, but the cost is becoming a strange creature standing three meters tall, with bulging muscles, arms thicker than others’ thighs, and even a horn sprouting on your head.

Neither Chen Yuan nor Spark knows what the latter will evolve into; everything is unknown.

And the unknown is the most frightening.

"Chirp!"

Spark slightly lifts its head, its eyes burning bright, and nods emphatically to Chen Yuan.

It’s already prepared to become stronger.

"Woof woof~"

Cola jumps onto the bed with a leap, carefully washing its paws each evening, its fluffy big tail swaying over the soft bed sheets.

Luckily, Cola’s size isn’t particularly large, not quite reaching the massive scale of the Fallen Meteor Horned Beast, so it doesn’t threaten to collapse the bed when it jumps up.

Master, I’m ready too!

Chen Yuan smiles and pats the dog’s head: "Don’t worry, I won’t forget you."

After a trip to the Mysterious Forest, Chen Yuan’s Source Point count reached an unprecedented level of abundance, enough to unlock both Spark and Cola’s advancement paths simultaneously.

After calming Cola, Chen Yuan fixes his gaze on Spark’s data panel, then calls out firmly: "System, unlock it for me!"

[Advancement Requirements: Use two Tier Four resources, Blazing Flame Flower x2, Starlight Stone x2, in the Land of Burning Flames]

For a moment, Chen Yuan falls into contemplation.

The advancement requirements this time are clearly different from before.

Firstly, previously it was high-level resources paired with low-level resources; now there’s no low-level resource.

Secondly, this time it lacks the skill proficiency requirement.

Thirdly, it specifies where the resources should be used.

"Land of Burning Flames?"

Upon seeing this phrase, Chen Yuan immediately thought of the burning flames atop Flame Mountain, which seems a perfect match for this description.

Could it be that Spark’s advancement hope is in Flame Mountain again this time?

Furthermore, Chen Yuan is unfamiliar with the two resources mentioned in the advancement requirements.

The name Blazing Flame Flower sounds like a Fire-type resource, but Starlight Stone doesn’t seem like a Fire-type resource.

Without hesitating, Chen Yuan asks his brother when undecided.

Chen Wenhao quickly replies: "I’ve never heard of Blazing Flame Flower, but Starlight Stone is a Level Four Light-type resource found in some karst caves, and it’s available at the Beast Taming Mall."

Upon hearing this, Chen Yuan’s eyes flicker.

Light-type resource?

Doesn’t this mean Spark will gain a Light-type attribute upon advancing to Morning Star?

Since the outbreak of Spiritual Energy Revival, some time has passed, yet Chen Yuan hasn’t seen a single Light-type Pet Beast firsthand.

Even online, Beastmasters possessing Light-type Pet Beasts are extremely rare.

Combining Fire and Light types, Spark is practically a nemesis to all specters and ghosts.

As these thoughts flash by, Chen Yuan directly logs into the Beast Taming Mall to search for Starlight Stone.

[Level Four resource, Starlight Stone, valued at 1500 Contribution Value]

Chen Yuan closes the Beast Taming Mall expressionlessly.

He turns his head to look at Spark, filled with anticipation, remains silent for a while, then suddenly blurts out: "Should we not advance after all?"

"Chirp?"

Spark tilts its head, eyes full of doubt.

Chen Yuan helplessly covers his forehead: "Just kidding, but the price indeed exceeds my expectations."

Level Three resource prices typically range from 200 to 500, but the Tier Four resource, Starlight Stone, required by Spark costs a whopping 1500 Contribution Value.

That’s several times the usual amount.

Moreover, Spark’s advancement requires four Tier Four resources; calculating roughly, does that mean 6000 Contribution Value?
