The 'fusion' talent is to merge the spirit beast and the beastmaster. Compared with an independent spirit beast, there is no change in strength, speed and skill effects. The only difference is that the beastmaster can use weapons and has higher intelligence than the spirit pet.

The 'Armor' talent, on the other hand, would enhance a certain aspect of a spirit beast's abilities.

The bonus to the Beastmaster is not as good as the 'Fusion' talent. In other words, from an overall perspective, if the same spirit beast and the same Beastmaster undergo 'Fusion' and 'Armoring' respectively, the Beastmaster's overall strength and speed will crush the latter in the former.

However, spirit beasts that transform into different types of 'armored items' have unique bonuses in certain aspects.

For example, after the Purple Lightning Python completed its armoring, Murong Jing, who obtained a set of purple full-body armor, had a greatly increased defense. Moreover, his spirit pet's innate skill "Lightning Assault" was enhanced, making Murong Jing's body movements and speed extremely fast.

But this strengthening has its limits.

At least, after the third-order, level 2 Purple Lightning Python was armored, its speed was still within the visual range of the third-order, level 9 Fire Scale Crow.

That's enough.

Daya threw out three fireballs in a row. The first two blocked Murong Jing's escape path, and the last one launched an effective attack.

As the explosion sounded, Murong Jing jumped up from the flames and rushed directly towards Yan Zhe.

Of course, she had no way to defeat the flying third-level Fire Scale Crow, so she could only start with Yan Zhe, the beastmaster.

When Daya saw this, he dived down quickly.

If Murong Jing were to get within five meters of Yan Zhe, he would probably be thrown into the pot within the next hour.

The third-order, level-9 Fire Scale Crow was not slow to begin with, and Daya had also learned the spell of Light Body. He swooped down rapidly, shooting a ray of fire, forcing Murong Jing to temporarily give up attacking Yan Zhe and turn around to avoid him.

Daya took advantage of the victory and directly chose to cover the fire.

It can already precisely control flames and is not limited to releasing flame rays. It can also release small fireballs the size of a fist and flame warheads the size of a thumb.

The audience around the ring were worried about Yan Zhe at first, but after seeing the Fire Scale Crow entering a violent state, they were all stunned.

Is this still the Fire Scale Crow that they know of, whose bloodline level is only at the high-level extraordinary level?

Shouldn't there just be a single skill called Fire Ray? What the hell is a Fireball? And what's with these flaming bullets that seem like machine gun fire?

What is a Fire Scale Crow? It should be called a Bomber, right?!

Murong Jing was even more confused. She had never thought that a third-level spirit beast could master such powerful skills!

She was already exhausted from dealing with the attacks of flame beams and fireballs, and now she had no time to dodge the crazy sweep of flame warheads and was hit three times in a row.

The power of this flame warhead is much smaller than that of a fireball, but it still makes Murong Jing feel a slight pain when it hits the armor.

And, most importantly, after being hit, her body was hindered and her movements became slow. After being attacked by three flame warheads, a fireball hit her.

Immediately afterwards, the scene before my eyes was engulfed in a burst of fire.

After 'Armorization', just like the 'Fusion' talent, the soul power will be continuously consumed. If the attack is too strong, the accumulated attack intensity within a certain period of time will exceed a threshold, which will accelerate the consumption of soul power.

After a few minutes, the soul power value was consumed to a limit, and the armor exploded instantly and became useless.

Da Ya stepped on the Purple Lightning Python, which had lost its ability to resist due to severe loss of spiritual energy, and said arrogantly to Murong Jing: "Ni'er! You lose! Submit to this Crow King!"

Murong Jing sighed and said, "I lost."

Yan Zhe sat on the stage, looked at the crowd below and asked, "Is there anyone else?"

No one answered.

Daya's strength made them have no confidence in themselves at all. Murong Jing was already among the top ten students in this class in terms of combat power. She was beaten down, so who else would dare to challenge her?

Zhao Yaqing exclaimed in amazement, "Your classmate is truly amazing! Not only can you write such a high-level paper, but you also have such a powerful pet. Xixi, I remember your pet is also a Fire Scale Crow. Is it just as powerful?"

"No, no!" Jiang Yuexi shook her head and said, "My Fire Scale Crow has only learned to throw fireballs."

Zhao Yaqing grabbed Jiang Yuexi's arm, looked at her seriously, and asked, "Did Yan Zhe help you train your spirit pet?"

"Yeah." Jiang Yuexi nodded.

Zhao Yaqing put her arm around Jiang Yuexi's shoulders, leaned against her, and said with a smile, "I knew you two must have a special relationship. Please introduce me to someone like him. I also want to meet such a great god. If I can get his help, my spirit beast will grow faster!"

Jiang Yuexi didn't want to cause trouble for Yan Zhe, but she was not good at saying no, especially since she had just met Zhao Yaqing, a friend in Qingmu City, and didn't want to cause trouble for her.

All I could say was, “Let me try and ask.”

Yan Zhe did not accept the challenge again. After Murong Jing left, he sat on the stage until the end.

No one challenged him, and he successfully won the prize of 100,000 Alliance Coins.

After getting off the stage, Jiang Yuexi came over, greeted Yan Zhe, introduced him to Zhao Yaqing, and said, "Yaqing wants to treat you to a meal and ask you some questions about spiritual beast training. Is that okay?"

If someone invites him to dinner, Yan Zhe will certainly not refuse.

"Sure. But I don't have any constructive suggestions."

The three of them arrived at the restaurant and ordered some food. Zhao Yaqing said:

"Student Yan Zhe, you're a public figure in our school now. Oh my god, how did you do it? Only eight days into the semester, and you've already published a paper in a top academic journal like 'Beastial Science'? I heard that the professorship requirement at Aoki University is to publish three first-author papers in this kind of journal.

You are amazing.”

Yan Zhe waved his hand and said, "I studied and researched this topic in high school, but it was only after entering university that I gained new knowledge, so this research was a bit of a shortcut. It will be difficult to achieve such results in the future."

"That's already pretty impressive," Jiang Yuexi said. "My mom even praised you when she called me!"

There was one thing she didn't say. In fact, her mother Jiang Ziran called to ask Jiang Yuexi to ask Yan Zhe if it was possible to license the patent to the company where she worked, Shenglong Group.

Jiang Yuexi didn't want their relationship to be mixed with these things, so she didn't mention it.

Yan Zhe smiled and said, "Everyone who gets admitted to Aoki University is equally outstanding."

The three of them chatted for a few more minutes and then went their separate ways.

Although the two people opposite were a little reluctant, Yan Zhe still had to continue refining the demon refining bottle and had no time to chat with them.

In two days, the refining should be completed.
