Divine Beasts And I Are Fated - Chapter 37
Chapter 37 Outrageous
The fountain starfish that Ji An was talking about was a starfish that walked upright with its two horns.
Its body was pale gold with orange circles that formed a pattern that looked like a pair of eyes and a mouth.
From a distance, it looked like the fountain starfish did have eyes and a mouth.
It looked to be about the size of an A4 paper.
The fountain starfish was a lower-class Extraordinary-level creature that was extremely rare in Encircle Town.
Ji An could only recognize the species at a glance from so far away thanks to his experiences in his previous life.
Among the main familiars of the beastmaster he had once followed for half a year, she had a fountain starfish.
The fountain starfish that never left its beastmaster’s side thus also became a familiar that Ji An came into contact with the most in his previous life.
However, his expression was now filled with confusion.
The fountain starfish was a water-type familiar and a marine creature at that.
It was almost impossible to see such familiars in Encircle Town, let alone in the sewers.
“Could it be that it’s a familiar of one of the beastmasters in Encircle Town that mistakenly entered the sewers?” Ji An guessed in his heart.
However, after a few looks, he denied this guess.
There was no sign of the fountain starfish that showed that it had been subdued.
There wasn’t even any sign of a soul contract.
In other words, it should be a wild fountain starfish.
Although he didn’t know the origin of the fountain starfish and was quite puzzled, he was quite interested in a fountain starfish that had yet to be subdued.
Ji An’s soul power had reached rank five Entry-level, so he could now bear the pressure of contracting a second familiar on his soul body.
There was no strict limit to the number of familiars a beastmaster could subdue.
However, taming too many wasn’t a good thing for beastmasters.
After all, nurturing a familiar required too many resources and time. Having too many familiars that were not very well raised would be a fatal shortcoming for a beastmaster.
A powerful familiar that had been properly trained could defeat many ordinary familiars.
In addition, every time a beastmaster subdued and contracted a new familiar, it would be an additional burden on the beastmaster’s soul body.
A beastmaster’s soul body could overload itself if one contracted an unlimited number of familiars.
If the burden on the soul body was too great, it might even affect the progress of one’s soul power improvement.
As such, for an Entry-level Beastmaster in the lower ranks, like ranks one, two, and three, to only subdue one familiar.
Someone in the middle ranks that included ranks four, five, and six could try, but it was not recommended to subdue a second familiar.
After all, a middle-rank Entry-level beastmaster was only a fledgling in reality.
When one reached the upper ranks of ranks seven, eight, and nine, one’s soul body would then be strong enough for one to tame a third familiar.
However, it was extremely rare for a beastmaster to subdue three familiars at the Entry-level.
The fountain starfish was only a lower-class Extraordinary-level familiar.
However, Ji An’s interest in this familiar far exceeded that of those intermediate or even advanced-class Extraordinary-level familiars.
As for the reason, it was also because of his experience as a beastmaster retinue.
The beastmaster he had followed had a special evolution route for the fountain starfish that could evolve the familiar into an intermediate-class Sovereign-level familiar with extremely abnormal abilities.
Ji An had only found out about that evolution route by accident.
If this fountain starfish had decent talent, he naturally wouldn’t mind making it one of the options for his second familiar.
After all, that beastmaster’s fountain starfish had indeed become shockingly strong after its evolution.
It was also thanks to the abnormally strong racial abilities the fountain starfish gained after evolution that the beastmaster had been able to defeat enemies stronger than herself time and time again.
Of course, the prerequisite was that this fountain starfish’s talent was passable.
After obtaining the Eye of Insight, which allowed him to see through a familiar’s potential, and taming the astonishingly talented Ping An, Ji An naturally had high expectations for his future familiar’s potential.
Even if it wasn’t as good as Ping An, it couldn’t be too inferior.
However, he was currently a little far away.
He could not see the fountain starfish’s stats with the Eye of Insight from a hundred meters away.
Helplessly, Ji An could only bring Ping An closer.
Fortunately, the rats were all focused on the fountain starfish and didn’t notice the two.
After getting a few dozen meters closer, the fountain starfish finally entered the detection range of the Eye of Insight.
The information about the fountain starfish thus appeared in Ji An’s eyes.
After a glance, Ji An’s expression became extremely interesting. His expression was first one of shock before turning strange.
[Race:] Fountain Starfish
[Evolution Potential:] Lower-class Extraordinary level/ Advanced-class Calamity level
[Evolution Level:] Second Morphing
(Energy Level:] 25.7
(Mastered Skills:) Fountain (105/851), Regeneration (203/901)]
[Potential Skill:) Dragon Breath (0/672)
Ji An was stunned when he saw the fountain starfish’s potential information. His mind was filled with question marks. He looked at the potential of the fountain starfish again in disbelief before finally being convinced that he hadn’t seen wrong.
Due to his trust in the Eye of Insight, Ji An had no choice but to believe that this was a fountain starfish with the potential to reach the Calamity level.
The so-called Calamity level was a level above the Disaster level.
A Disaster-level fierce beast could change the natural environment on a large scale, which would cause natural disasters and easily destroy cities.
As for Calamity-level beasts, they could change the weather directly and cause natural disasters on the surface of Earth.
Let alone small cities like Encircle Town, even the heavily guarded human cities would find it hard to defend against a Calamity level beast.
“Gulp!” Ji An subconsciously swallowed.
Originally, he had thought that Ping An’s potential was so strong that it would be hard to find a match in Encircle Town.
He did not expect to encounter a fountain starfish in the sewer and that the beast would have an evolution potential that could crush Ping An.
There was no doubt that there was a huge gap between the advanced-class Calamity level and advanced-class Disaster level.
Not only did the fountain starfish’s evolution potential crush Ping An’s, but even the potential of its race skills overpowered the latter.
Of the two skills that the fountain starfish had already mastered, the skill mastery potential of the elementary skill, Fountain, was higher than that of Ping An’s most powerful Hibernation skill.
The potential of the intermediate skill, Regeneration, was far higher than that of Hibernation as well.
The potential mastery value of Regeneration was as high as 901 points, which meant that it would only take time for the fountain starfish to naturally upgrade the skill to the highest level of the four divine realms, the Divinely Wonderful realm.
It was said that any skill that was raised to this level would transform into divine skills that could turn rotten things anew.
Ji An knew that Water Fountain and Regeneration were the racial skills of the fountain starfish.
However, the potential advanced skill, Dragon Breath, that the fountain starfish had yet to master left Ji An confused.
Dragon Breath, as its name suggested, was a skill mastered by the dragon race, an extremely special Transcendent creature.
Any dragon’s skill would include Dragon Breath.
It was really an advanced skill.
Therefore, even the weakest of the dragon race would at least start from the advanced-class Extraordinary level.
However, to think a fountain starfish had the potential to master Dragon Breath.
And its potential mastery value was as high as 672!
This was already far higher than most dragons’ natural mastery of Dragon Breath
This was just ridiculous.
However, the current situation didn’t give Ji An much time to consider.
The fountain starfish was in a precarious situation under the continuous attacks of the rat group, especially after the steel-toothed rat also joined in on the attack.
