Chapter 673 — The Cat Returns
The Beast-Taming Craftsman · Page 10 of 10
This was thanks to the state's incorporation of the meditation method for opening a beast-taming space into Zhaoye education in the modern era, in order to cultivate talent with beast-taming aptitude. Shi Jin had been detected as having beast-taming talent during that very stage.
Beast-taming talents came in many varieties, but were chiefly divided into two major types—enhancement type and special type—with an awakening ratio of roughly 9:1.
An enhancement-type talent was something like flame enhancement. A beast tamer possessing such a talent would do best to seek out pets with flame abilities to cultivate.
Because in battle, the tamer could then use their own beast-taming talent to amplify the power of their pet's flame-type skills.
Compared with enhancement-type talents, special-type talents were exceedingly complex and followed no pattern; the forms in which different talents manifested their abilities varied enormously.
For example, the special-type talent "sharing" allowed a tamer to share one skill of a contracted pet, gaining an extraordinary ability for themselves.
Generally, tamers possessing talents like sharing were far stronger than ordinary tamers in both self-preservation and combat prowess.
There was also the special talent "fusion," which let a tamer briefly fuse with their pet into a new form—perhaps beast-eared girls really did exist?
As for Jue's telepathy talent, though it too was special-type, it was rather common—one of the most widespread special-type talents at present.
A tamer with the telepathy talent, once adept at the ability, could communicate with any sapient being without language barriers.
Normally, a tamer could only understand the thoughts of a pet with which they had signed a contract; but a tamer with the telepathy talent could communicate somewhat even with others' pets or wild creatures.
In the development history of the tamer profession, the telepathy talent could not directly form combat power, yet its standing was unshakable—it was indispensable.
After all, if one could communicate with other species, a great and unnecessary battle might well be avoided outright.
In fields such as medical workers, teachers, researchers, and keepers within the tamer profession, it was basically tamers with the telepathy talent who held core posts. It was a jack-of-all-trades talent.
With such a practical beast-taming talent, by rights he should get along rather easily with wild creatures...
At this thought, Shi Jin breathed a sigh of relief.
As for his use of "telepathy," though he could hardly call himself adept, he should not be too bad either.
Instinctively he tried to use his beast-taming talent, listening in all directions, intending to familiarize himself with the steps in advance lest he fail later.
But just at that moment, an anomaly suddenly arose...
As the beast-taming space Shi Jin had opened in his mind trembled, his vision suddenly blurred, and then, in his mind, a black stone codex unexpectedly surfaced.
It seemed... he had awakened a second beast-taming talent!
