Chapter 393 — The Legend Lin Shuo and the Overlord Void Tan
The Beast-Taming Craftsman · Page 3 of 7
Add to that the max-level telekinesis he had cultivated, granting him greater mental and physical stamina and allowing him to sustain possession for longer, and he estimated that in the current sequence rankings, the only ones who could pose a threat to him were perhaps Ye Xing, ranked first, and Shen Ling, ranked second.
One of them possessed an abnormal beast-taming talent connected to the power of the stars; the other was the descendant of a mechanical Legend. Shi Cen could not gauge their strength.
But that didn't matter. In the end they would all be his bodyguards anyway—the stronger, the better.
Moreover, Shi Jin estimated that the competition for the top five of the sequence would be fierce from here on. Even if he didn't take part, it was hard to say whether Zheng Hai could make the top five...
Because... Lu Heng had contacted Shi Jin one step ahead of Zheng Hai.
For the past six months, she had been cultivating with Void Sandalwood in the Void Emperor's ruin.
And just recently, she had successfully broken through to Legend level. She and that Garden Township spirit had each broken through—one to level seven, the other to overlord level—leaving only an assessment standing between her and the title of Legend-level beast master.
As for strength, since the spirit had used the death-spirit legendary resources issued by the Ancient Capital University to break through, it fully met the standard.
Shi Yan—for the sake of legendary resources, Lu Yan would certainly contend for the top five as well. By then, with so many Legends vying for those five places, one unlucky soul was bound to emerge.
And Brother Zheng Hai felt like that unlucky soul...
"Mm..." Shi Qi glanced at his cooldown panel.

Eleven minutes left. He entered the ruin, preparing to do a new round of stat allocation for Eleven, and then head to the Ancient Capital University to meet the Legend-level Lu Yan.
After Lu Heng broke through to Legend, she wanted to thank Shi Jin in person. Shi Jin hadn't let her come to Pingcheng, and had arranged to meet her at the Ancient Capital University instead.
After all, Pingcheng was a godforsaken place with nowhere decent even for a meal together. Better to go to the Ancient Capital.
Inside the ruin, Eleven was in the gym, working out with two pieces of legendary resource—Aurora Magnetic Gold.
[Name]: Eleven

Over these two months, Shi Jin had mainly spent his points on Eleven, Lin, and Baby Ginseng.
Lin had been upgraded to the top-tier Intelligent God Net; Baby Ginseng's Life Ember had been upgraded and pushed all the way to Mastery level. As for Clear Sky and Charging Beam, those were simple to level, so naturally they were maxed out.
And Eleven was now a hair's breadth from breaking through to Perfect Overlord — partly Shi Ying's doing, partly the resources' doing, and even more so Eleven's own hard work.
Skills like White Lightning, Shi Jin hadn't even bothered to spend points on. But carrying two legendary-grade resources steeped in the rule-force of White Lightning every single day made it hard for proficiency to stay low.
Super Alloy was the same. Thanks to the special Super Alloy food Lin had developed, two months of steady eating had saved Shi Jin at least two rounds of point allocation — though it did burn through money.
