Doomsday Roulette

What?!

Li Daqian's eyes widened in disbelief as he looked at Ye Zhongming.

He couldn't dare to say that Ten Thousand Beast Manor was the number one in battle beasts on this planet, but it could definitely be considered a major player. Although there was no theoretical backing, the existence of a large beast pool allowed him and his subordinates to become experts in battle beasts and related aspects in the apocalypse, simply through experience.

However, he had never heard of anyone being able to increase the number of innate abilities of battle beasts!

If that were possible, wouldn’t the distinction between battle beasts become meaningless? One could simply catch any easily trainable beast, cultivate it, and continuously enhance its powerful innate abilities. Why would one go through the trouble of capturing high-level pups with great talent, or even cultivate battle beasts at all?

Thus, upon hearing Ye Zhongming's words, Li Daqian's first reaction was disbelief.

But then he thought it over; the King of Cloud Summit didn't need to deceive him. Perhaps he truly had such a capability, or perhaps he had some kind of scroll or item, after all, the apocalypse was a place where miracles could happen.

So, after the initial disbelief, he felt an indescribable excitement.

Battle beasts with full innate abilities, and a colorful giant bear with full innate abilities!

Just the thought of it made Li Daqian thrilled.

Others might not understand, but Li Daqian knew why Chisel Fang could dominate the national battle beast rankings at the eighth level. It outperformed Yangos, Ye Zhongming's earth yellow pill, Wen Yan's millennium beast, and the powerful battle beasts from Divine Hall, among others.

It was because he had a powerful skill! A skill that could amplify combat power several times!

This allowed him to be infinitely close to the ninth level at certain moments!

This demonstrated the importance of an innate ability.

Li Daqian thought that even if the skill Ye Zhongming mentioned wasn't that powerful, it would still be an offensive ability. Even the most ordinary fireball, when used by an eighth-level lifeform, would surely be like a missile!

"If what Brother Ye said is true, then this deal is done."

Exchanging six immature beast eggs, which had little value to him, for so many other things was something Li Daqian was satisfied with.

Who would have thought Ye Zhongming would chuckle, "But I think it’s a bit unfair."

"What do you mean?" Li Daqian's expression turned sour; did they want to change the terms or raise the price at this point?

Ye Zhongming pointed to the two sharp bones protruding from the shoulders of the ninth-level lifeform’s corpse and said, "You need to add these two shoulder bones."

"Ye Manor Master, your behavior could provoke resentment."

Li Daqian's aura of a strong person subtly rose, and even his form of address changed. The colorful giant bear that had been lying behind him stood up, glaring angrily at Ye Zhongming.

The King of Cloud Summit smiled, "Li Manor Master, why don’t you listen to what this skill is before making a decision?"

"Alright, I’m curious to hear what kind of skill could make me give up two bones."

Ye Zhongming didn’t waste any time and said directly, "This innate ability is called—Falling Strike Technique."

Though Li Daqian was displeased, he listened intently, afraid to miss a single word.

"Strictly speaking, this isn't a purely active attack skill; it's one that needs to be used in conjunction with other abilities, even... passive abilities."

"Oh?" Li Daqian found this quite interesting and waited for Ye Zhongming to explain.

"When a battle beast with this ability enters combat, an energy body identical to its real form will appear beside it. Every time the battle beast uses an ability, this energy body will actively attack the target, with the attack power equivalent to the battle beast's strongest physical attack."

"Every time the innate ability is used, it triggers an attack?"

Li Daqian was shaken by Ye Zhongming's words; this skill, while seemingly without an active attack effect, was equivalent to making every innate ability carry an additional attack! Moreover, the attack power was the strongest physical attack, not some useless attack!
