Looking at the three items floating in front of him, Aster Grant focused his attention on the golden potion bottle.
[Beast Taming Talent Enhancement Potion (Legendary Level)]
[Effect: Elevates Legendary Talent Beastbond to Two Stars talent]
Seeing the effect of this potion, Aster Grant's breath quickened slightly.
A leap to Two Stars talent is enough to significantly enhance Lazuli's attributes.
Currently, Lazuli's average attributes are 180 points.
If she takes this potion, perhaps she could break through the 200-point barrier.
Such a reward is indeed well-deserved given the difficulty of this trial!
Meanwhile, the Beastbond Space Condensation Core appeared as a crystal-clear rhombus, with star-like points of light flowing inside.
[Beast Taming Space Condensation Core (Legendary Level)]
[Effect: Helps Beast Tamers construct a complete Beastbond Space ahead of time]
Upon reading the introduction, Aster Grant was shocked.
Constructing a complete Beastbond Space ahead of time?!
It's known that only those who reach the Extraordinary Realm can condense their personal Beastbond Space.
Yet, this core enables a Beast Tamer to achieve this during the Awakening Stage.
Defying the heavens!
As for the remaining item, Aster Grant was puzzled.
Because he couldn't check the information of this key!
He slightly reached out to touch it.
"Buzz—"
The key transformed into a stream of light and merged into his brow, and vast information emerged instantly:
[Elven Ancestral Land: Boneyard Sanctum]
[Entry Condition: Gather 3 keys]
[Time Remaining: 49 days 23 hours 59 minutes]
[Note: Overdue entry will result in permanent closure!]
Elven Ancestral Land?!
After fully decoding the key's information, Aster Grant roughly understood its function.
This trial is equivalent to a test.
Only the talent passing this test can enter the Elven Race's Boneyard Land to access their legacy.
However, entering the Sanctum requires three keys.
Currently.
He has one key, Crystal Winslow holds another.
As for the last one, it seems... its whereabouts are unknown!
But as long as the last person wants to enter the Sanctum, they must meet at the Sanctum entrance within these 50 days!
Thinking of this, Aster Grant looked up at Crystal Winslow, happening to meet her gaze.
She surely knows about this too!
But there are 50 days left, so there's no rush concerning entering the Sanctum.
Aster Grant reached for the Beast Taming Talent Enhancement Potion, intending to hand it to Lazuli, but noticed the little girl fixated on the potion bottle as it moved.
He deliberately spun the potion bottle between his fingers, and Lazuli's golden pupils immediately traced an arc with it.
As Aster Grant's gaze shifted, the little girl pretended not to care and looked away.
Yet the little angel, unaware that her small actions completely revealed her inner thoughts.
Seeing his little angel like this, Aster Grant decided to tease her.
"Lazuli, how about we save this potion for the second contract beast?"
"Her talent certainly doesn't measure up to yours, so perhaps we let her have this..."
Lazuli's wings suddenly stiffened.
She mechanically turned her neck, forcing a smile:
"Master... Master is... right..."
The young girl's voice trembled obviously, her eyes beginning to glisten with tears.
"Pff—"
Aster Grant couldn't hold back his laughter anymore and tossed the potion over, "Catch!"
Lazuli fumbled to catch the potion bottle, blinking her innocent eyes.
It wasn't until she saw her master's mischievous smile that she realized she was teased.
She immediately puffed her cheeks and glared at her master indignantly.
Yet.
When she looked down at the potion, her fingers involuntarily tightened.
She knew all too well the value of such a Legendary Potion!
But Aster Grant handed it to her without any hesitation.
Her master trusted her this much, she must perform well, she must try even harder.
However, Aster Grant was completely unaware of the little girl's thoughts.
To him, the Beast Taming Talent Enhancement Potion wasn't as valuable as Lazuli imagined.
He could discern the Beastbond's cultivation path just by finding the materials.
Through the system's cultivation plan, the strength enhancement of the Beastbond would far surpass the potion's boost.
Thus, the Beast Taming Potion was merely the icing on the cake for him.
As for what's more important...
Aster Grant's gaze finally locked onto the crystal-clear Beast Taming Space Condensation Core.
This core is what would bring him qualitative change!
Once successfully condensing the Beastbond Space, Lazuli's growth would no longer be restricted to hunting Demon creatures.
She can stay in the Beastbond Space, constantly improving herself.
Moreover, through the Beastbond Space, Aster Grant could develop new tactical synergies with her, achieving true mutual understanding.
Aster Grant unhesitatingly activated the core in his hand, which glowing with starlight.
In an instant, the crystal-clear core transformed into a stream of light directly entering his brow.
In a moment, a surge of spiritual power washed over the mental sea like a tide.
The originally indistinct Beastbond Space outline was now rapidly becoming clear and solid, with every detail forming swiftly.
Simultaneously, Lazuli tilted her head back and drank the golden-glowing talent enhancement potion.
A dazzling golden light cocoon instantly enveloped her completely, with powerful energy waves reverberating in the circular hall.
The transformation begins!
...
On the outskirts of the Trial Grounds, dusk stained the skies like blood.
Abel Vance stood with arms crossed at the frontline, behind him, hundreds of soldiers stood ready.
The breach opened after passing the second stage was already securely guarded by his orders.
Now, only the final step remained!
Once the three pass, the entire defense line of Draconia could unite into a single entity.
By then, the upgrade difficulty for new Beast Tamers would drastically decrease.
"Sir, half the day has passed already, and the third stage hasn't been cleared. Could it... have failed?"
The adjutant lowered his voice hesitantly.
Yet, Abel Vance's gaze remained unmoved, intently focused on the prohibition.
"I believe in them!!"
The succinct and powerful five words resounded with determination.
The adjutant was taken aback, then understood.
Indeed, this trial boasts one of the strongest line-ups in recent years.
If they couldn't break through, then this trial wouldn't...
Be possible to pass!
Suddenly—
"Crack, crack—"
The crisp sound of breaking disrupted the silence.
Upon hearing this, Abel Vance and the adjutant turned almost simultaneously.
This was... the sound of the prohibition shattering!
This indicates that the three of them... have cleared it!
"Attention everyone!" Abel Vance shouted, his voice resonating far and wide, "The prohibition has broken, prepare to engage!"
Hundreds of soldiers responded in unison: "Received!"
Their voices thundered like a storm.
"Crack!"
With the final shattering sound, the prohibition completely crumbled.
From the massive breach, countless Demon Clan creatures emitted piercing roars, surging like a tide.
Abel Vance watched the demon tide, the Monarch-level Beast Tamer headed into battle.
"If any Demon Clan creature escapes, you'll face military punishment!"
The imminent battle was about to explode!
