Chapter 569 — The Owl's Past and Present Lives

This was thanks to the fact that, to cultivate talents with beast-taming aptitude, the nation had, upon entering the modern age, incorporated the meditation method for opening a beast-taming space into compulsory education. It was at that stage that Shi Jin had been detected as having a beast-taming talent.

There are many kinds of beast-taming talents, but they fall mainly into two categories: enhancement-type and special-type, awakening in a ratio of roughly nine to one.

An enhancement-type talent, such as Flame Enhancement, means that a beast tamer who possesses it would do best to find a pet beast with fire abilities to raise.

Because in battle, the tamer can then use their own beast-taming talent to amplify the power of their pet's fire-type skills.

Compared with enhancement-type talents, special-type talents are highly complex and follow no pattern; the ways in which different talents manifest their power vary enormously.

Take the special-type talent "Sharing," for instance: it allows a tamer to share one skill of a contracted pet beast, granting themselves a transcendent ability.

Generally, tamers with talents like Sharing are far stronger in both self-preservation and combat strength than ordinary tamers.

There is also the special talent "Fusion," which lets a tamer briefly merge with their pet beast into a new form. Perhaps beast-eared girls really do exist?

As for Jue's telepathy talent, though it too is special-type, it is relatively common, one of the most widespread special-type talents today.

A tamer with the telepathy talent, once they have mastered the ability, can communicate with any intelligent being without any language barrier.

Normally, a tamer can only understand the thoughts of pet beasts they have contracted with, but a tamer with telepathy can communicate somewhat even with other people's pet beasts or wild creatures.

In the history of the tamer profession, telepathy cannot directly produce combat power, yet its standing is unshakable and indispensable.

After all, if one can communicate with other species, it is quite possible to avert an unnecessary great battle altogether.

In fields such as medicine, teaching, research, and beast-keeping within the tamer profession, it is basically tamers with the telepathy talent who hold the core positions. It is a jack-of-all-trades talent.

With such a practical beast-taming talent, by all reasoning, he should get along with wild creatures rather easily...

Thinking this, Shi Jin breathed a sigh of relief.

As for using "telepathy," though Shi Jin could hardly call himself skilled, he should not be too bad either.

Instinctively he tried to use his beast-taming talent, listening to the four directions, intending to familiarize himself with the steps beforehand so as not to fail later.

But just at that moment, a sudden change occurred...

As the beast-taming space Shi Jin had opened in his mind domain trembled, his vision suddenly blurred, and then, in his mind, a black stone codex unexpectedly surfaced.

He seemed to have... awakened a second beast-taming talent!
