Chapter 1081

"What about you, Su Yang? What do you think?"

"Same as you—I agree!"

"Good!" Mo Yunjian smiled. "I'll notify Zhang Yi—he'll be thrilled!"

"Why not go together?"

"That works too!"

……

With battle imminent, Su Yang lay in bed, unable to sleep.

To say he felt no pressure was impossible.

Mo Yunjian came to Black Tiger City as an envoy from the General Headquarters; the front-line commander-in-chief was still Su Yang.

The General Headquarters raised no objections to Qian Qian Hailong's appointment.

Mo Yunjian's arrival felt more like assisting Su Yang.

Yet precisely because of this, Su Yang felt even greater pressure.

He opened his system page—the previous small-scale national war mission had rewarded him with a large-area buff skill, which he hadn't used yet.

In large-scale group warfare, large-area buff skills are extremely powerful!

Used well, they could completely alter the course of the battlefield.

The true strength of the Emperor Beast lay not only in its ambition to conquer the world and its formidable power, but most importantly, in its possession of large-area buff skills capable of shifting the tide of battle!

Currently, within the Huaxia Lianbang Army, Su Yang was the only Beast Tamer with a large-area buff skill!

Truly unique!

High-potential ferocious beasts were already exceedingly rare.

High-potential, high-talent ferocious beasts with Emperor Beast天赋 were even rarer!

Every Emperor Beast in history possessed immense power.

For a Beast Tamer to subdue an Emperor Beast was as difficult as climbing to heaven!

Take the Emperor Beast we now face—the Hurricane Roaring Cloud Tiger—who could subdue it?

No one!

Su Yang couldn't!

Mo Yunjian couldn't either!

Because neither had reached Emperor-Rank High-Grade!

In Su Yang's view, even encountering a low-level Emperor Beast, the difficulty of subduing it would be higher than subduing a Divine-Rank potential ferocious beast.

After all, Emperor Beasts had wilder hearts!

More prone to rebellion.

Once they rebelled, it would truly be letting a tiger return to the mountains!

To be honest, Su Yang didn't hold Emperor Beasts in high regard.

He could cultivate pets superior to Emperor Beasts—more obedient, more loyal!

Earthquake Bear possessed the large-area buff skill—Indestructible Light!

Storm Eagle possessed the large-area buff skill—Star of Speed!

Defense and speed—these two seemingly ordinary yet most practical large-area buff skills, Su Yang already possessed.

Choosing the third large-area buff skill left Su Yang torn.

First, Earthquake Bear and Storm Eagle were definitely ruled out.

Activating and maintaining large-area buff skills consumed pet energy.

Imposing two large-area buff skills onto a single pet would place too heavy a burden on it!

Of course, choosing Earthquake Bear and Storm Eagle wasn't just because they might awaken suitable skills, but also because these two were not heavily dependent on energy!

Earthquake Bear and Storm Eagle excelled in close combat—without any skills, they still possessed terrifying killing power!

Hellblood Vine was directly eliminated by Su Yang—its possible awakened buff skill would most likely enhance plant-type pets…

As everyone knew, plant-type pets were notoriously weak; most Beast Tamers didn't even own one.

For the same reason, Void Wraith wouldn't work either.

Enhancing space-type skill effects was useless.

Then came Rainbow Illusion Butterfly, Explosive Yan Mo, and Twinborn!

If fighting the Shouhuang Sect, Su Yang would absolutely choose Rainbow Illusion Butterfly—but now they were fighting the Emperor Beast Legion!

So Rainbow Illusion Butterfly could be set aside for now.

After receiving Su Yang's report, the General Headquarters had temporarily halted operations against the Shouhuang Sect, likely because they too feared the Emperor Beast's power and wished to wait a while longer!

Besides, Su Yang would have future opportunities to obtain another large-area buff skill slot!

"System, use my previous reward to awaken a large-area buff skill for Explosive Yan Mo!"

Explosive Yan Mo was Su Yang's best choice.

Fire-type pets, known for their destructive power, were extremely common—nearly every Beast Tamer carried one.

"Ding~ Reward being distributed…"

"Ding~ Congratulations, Host! Your pet Explosive Yan Mo has awakened a Perfect-level large-area buff skill—Flame Halo!"

Flame Halo (Perfect): Friendly fire-type pets within this pet's vicinity gain a 25% increase in fire skill damage and a 25% increase in fire resistance for a short duration—the more friendly pets, the longer the duration, and the greater the energy cost!

Seeing the effect of Flame Halo, Su Yang felt he'd won the lottery.

Explosive Yan Mo's Destruction Flame, of course, was devastating; combined with its other fire-skill enhancement talents, its fire capabilities were already extremely strong—and would only grow stronger!

A 25% boost for friendly fire-type pets was already incredibly powerful!

Besides, although Explosive Elder Yan Mo doesn't have a fire-type resistance talent, as a fire-element pet beast, it inherently possesses extremely strong fire-element resistance!

In any case, Su Yang is extremely satisfied with the Flame Halo—very practical!
