Beast Tamer: Why is the intelligence system a game announcement?

Chapter 74 begins the awakening of bloodlines and the struggle for ecology.

Meanwhile, in the wilderness, in front of a huge, rotting corpse, Xuan Fei opened his eyes again, breathing heavily.

Then, looking at his master who stood silently in front of him, his pupils constricted.

"Wait! Master, please let me explain, please let me explain...!"

"What else do I need to hear from you?"

The master spoke softly, then shook his head and sighed to himself before walking away.

"It's no longer safe here; we need to move again. As for you..."

The master said calmly, "Although I still have many lives, they are no longer guaranteed."

"No, wait, wait a little longer..."

"What are you waiting for?"

The master asked another question, his tone stern, but the next moment, his expression froze.

Is someone trying to break through the blockade set up by the worm master and crawl forward in the ecological sequence?

He frowned subconsciously, his consciousness probing into the ecosystem, just about to check the situation. But then, a look of horror appeared in his eyes, as if he had witnessed something horrific, and he immediately tried to pull his consciousness back—

"I finally managed to hook this fish, and it's gotten away so many times already. If it gets away again this time, wouldn't I look really embarrassed?"

Then, a long, drawn-out sigh echoed in the cave. The master instinctively took a step back, while Xuan Fei was stunned for a moment, and then his pupils contracted.

At that moment, Xuan Fei felt his entire body being twisted. He instinctively tried to transfer his consciousness to another body, but then his pupils contracted tightly in horror.

It's impossible!

At that moment, all lives were brought together in one place!

The principle of regression!

The next moment, Xuan Fei gradually lost consciousness amidst the twisting of his body. Master, watching this scene, turned and ran without hesitation, while Bai Su merely glanced at him through the water mirror before reaching out again.

Suddenly, the master froze, lay flat on the ground, and disappeared without a trace.

In a single, brief encounter... they were all wiped out!

At that moment, the water mirrored itself, and on the desolate wasteland, before the rotting corpse, there was no one left.

But a moment later, in an unnoticed corner, a gaze seemed to sweep across.

"Huh...? How come two people are dead?"

Then, a puzzled murmur arose. But then, he looked away, bored.

"So be it, it was just a minor move, let it go if we lose it."

After all, we need to focus our attention on the present moment, right?

As the boy pondered this, he squinted and gazed into the distance toward the Jianghai Province Beast Tamer Association, as if staring at someone.

From the very beginning, his opponent, the person playing this game with him... was only that one person.

........................

"Holy crap, what kind of move is this?"

Meanwhile, inside Ningcheng's mansion, Lin Wu watched as Bai Su withdrew her hand from the water mirror, and couldn't help but feel shocked.

He just saw Bai Su reach in, pinch the left side, squeeze the right side, and then, in the water mirror, both Xuan Fei and the other person just died like that?

"They're just a novice in the profession and a guy who can barely be considered a half-master. There's no need to make such a fuss."

Bai Su glanced at Lin Wu, seemingly with some disdain, and said.

"No, no, I mean, Professor Bai, how did you do that just now?"

"Oh, this? We'll talk about it when you reach the professional level and if you plan to develop towards Psychic or Water types. This is my exclusive research and development; it's a kind of ultimate attack technique."

Bai Su took a sip of tea and said calmly, "Don't think about that now. Just now, I pretended to awaken the bloodline of the Time-Traveling Insect, which brought those two potential threats to the surface."

"I was wondering before why Xuan Fei was your enemy... Now I understand, he is your Daoist enemy."

"An enemy of the Dao?"

Lin Wu made a confused sound. Bai Su glanced at Bai Miaomiao, who was whistling beside her, and then couldn't help but sigh.

Sure enough... expecting this lazybones to spontaneously educate Lin Wu on professional-level knowledge was simply wishful thinking.

In the end, I still had to do it myself.

"Alright, let me explain it to you. It's about the ecological debate and some things related to universities."

Bai Su rubbed her temples, then gave Lin Wu a brief introduction.

After listening to Bai Su's words, Lin Wu finally understood what the ecological conflict was.

Simply put, because multiple evolutionary sequences may belong to the same superior ecological sequence, fierce competition often occurs between beast tamers who walk on these multiple evolutionary sequences.

The conflicts that occur in this process are ecological struggles, and even more so, they have become a kind of "competition" recognized by the ecological community.

Survival of the fittest, natural selection.

Ecological conflicts like this began long ago among advanced-level elves.

For advanced elves to reach the level of Lord of the Race, they first need to acquire four additional racial skills.

Through various means, whether fragments of a colony or others, only an elf who has acquired all four racial skills is qualified to become the ruler of a species.

Just like a jigsaw puzzle, by using the corresponding racial skills as "pieces" to piece together the direction of a corresponding "leader of the race".

The problem is that the resources available for acquiring racial skills are limited.

Moreover, to retain potential after reaching the level of a race master, a fixed combination of racial skills is required. However, if your chosen combination overlaps with someone else's, you will inevitably face a problem:

If you use this racial skill, what am I supposed to use?

Since only one person can play, why should it be you?

From this point on, the ecological struggle began.

"Aside from fragments of the community, this is one of the main ways to acquire racial skills."

Bai Su took a sip of tea and added, "The initiation of an ecological conflict is very simple. Once you and your opponent are pointing to the same superior ecological sequence and have even the slightest overlap, the ecological community will determine that you are already in a state of ecological conflict."

"After that, you will attack each other's ecological sequences, doing everything you can to cause the collapse of your opponent's ecological sequence within the ecological realm, whether it is directly targeting reality or targeting the ecological sequence itself."

"And after that, if the other party loses in the ecological struggle because of you, you can... plunder everything they have, including taking away a racial skill they have already acquired."

"In addition, when the other party loses in the ecological struggle, his ecological sequence will also collapse. As a result, you can benefit from this and greatly raise the height of your own ecological sequence branches, thus getting closer to the ecological sequence above."

"Well, did you understand?"

"I think I understand. But what does this have to do with the university?"

Lin Wu let out a soft breath, and while feeling a headache, she still couldn't help but ask.

"Because universities are the biggest supporters of the ecological struggle."

Bai Su chuckled and said, "You'll understand once you get to university."

"Although Jianghai Province has never had any secret realms open to the public... there are secret realms that are open periodically within Jianghai University. Students can enter them and quickly obtain a large amount of resources."

Bai Su took a sip of tea as she spoke: "Besides, do you think universities won't do anything about the ecological conflict?"

"It means..."

"Once you enter university, you can find the best racial skill combinations for advanced species masters to maximize the potential of your elves."

Bai Su paused for a moment, then continued, "Similarly, you have far more channels to acquire racial skills than those individual farmers. Moreover, the university itself can serve as a powerful backer in your ecological struggle."

"You need to know one thing: universities themselves, to a large extent, are also certified by the ecosystem. Students who receive awards at universities will have a more solid evolutionary sequence in the ecological competition... In addition, the extra resources they can obtain, as well as the advantages in the ecological competition, are countless. You will know this once you enter university."

After Bai Su finished speaking, she revealed a mysterious smile:

"Take Jianghai University for example. Generally speaking, in an ecological battle, you can only deprive your opponent of one racial skill... But some students at Jianghai University, with the help of the university, can master a method to deprive multiple racial skills at once."

Hearing this, Lin Wu's eyes lit up, but Bai Su simply smiled, gently patted his shoulder, and said cheerfully:

"Alright, let's not talk about this anymore. Anyway, you can't get into college now, so let's think about the rookie tournament first."

For a moment, Lin Wu's face fell, then, as if suddenly remembering something, she looked at Bai Su with anticipation—

—"Oh, you don't need to think about it."

Seemingly sensing Lin Wu's expectation, Bai Su sighed regretfully, "The one who triggered the ecological conflict with you is Xuan Fei, but he has just entered the professional level and doesn't seem to have started acquiring racial skills yet. Although you have won the ecological conflict, you won't get racial skills as a reward."

Seeing Lin Wu's obvious regret, Bai Su pondered for a moment, then smiled again.

"However, it's not without its advantages—"

Bai Su smiled and said, "The opponent's ecological sequence has collapsed, which means that a lot of 'nutrients' are spreading at this moment. This is your reward for winning the ecological battle."

"If we consider awakening our bloodline at this time... it might have some unexpected and miraculous effects, you know?"

"How about it, want to give it a try?"

At that moment, a light shone in Lin Wu's eyes.

At the same time, I couldn't help but feel a sense of emotion.

Xuan Fei, he's a good person!

From now on, can we have a few more people like this, who would send themselves to their deaths and keep all the benefits for themselves? If we had a few more, maybe the next evolution of the Phantom Insects would be a sure thing?

Even without the benefits of racial skills, you can still enjoy other advantages!

Thinking of this, Lin Wu spoke without hesitation:

"Professor, I think so!"

"I really want to improve!"
