Chapter 1515: Soul Prison

Su Yang glanced at the phoenix beside him, thought for a moment, and decided to delay strengthening the Yinglong.

The Yinglong's loyalty to him was quite good, at sixty-seven.

There was no possibility of defection.

The phoenix came of its own accord and deserved better treatment.

Yet Su Yang still delayed its reward.

The Yinglong did not come voluntarily; it was subdued by the Annihilating Phoenix, the Earthquake Bear, the Hellblood Vine, and the Void Wraith together.

On the surface, the Yinglong had no reason to receive better treatment than the phoenix.

Su Yang enhanced the phoenix's talent by rewarding it for helping him subdue the Yinglong.

If he boosted the Yinglong now, it would seem like he was deliberately suppressing the phoenix, like he preferred the Yinglong!

Of course, Su Yang delayed the phoenix's reward because its loyalty was too low.

But Su Yang could never tell the phoenix about this!

The Yinglong had just arrived and had done nothing yet—yet Su Yang immediately granted it a talent boost… How would the phoenix feel seeing that?

Wouldn't she likely think he, Su Yang, was unfair as a master?

Su Yang had already decided to keep the phoenix by his side; as a Beast Tamer, he still needed to keep things as balanced as possible.

So Su Yang decided to wait a while, find an opportunity, let the Yinglong fight, and only then boost its talent after it earned merit.

Since the Yinglong's reward was delayed, Su Yang turned his attention to the rewards from his last kill of the Beast God.

Three Emperor-Rank Level-Up Cards, one Talent Copy Card, three Talent Awakening Opportunities!

"System, copy the Mythic Talent Gigantic Body from the Three-Headed Shark onto the Earthquake Bear!"

"Ding~ Congratulations, Master! Your pet, the Earthquake Bear, has gained the Mythic Talent—Gigantic Body!"

"Ding~ Congratulations, Master! Your pet, the Earthquake Bear, has improved its talent—its growth potential has risen from God-Rank Mid-Grade to God-Rank High-Grade!"

God-Rank High-Grade talent—Su Yang felt he was not far from God-Rank Top-Grade.

The Earthquake Bear's talent was spectacular—all Mythic, on par with the Hellblood Vine!

Mythic Talents: Indestructible Golden Body, Hatred for the Earth's Rings, Fight to the Death, Divine Sense of Smell, Spirit, Fire Resistance, Wind Resistance, Gravity Control, Crisis Detection!

The Earthquake Bear was Su Yang's second pet, possessing terrifying strength, godlike defense, tenacious vitality, peerless battle will, and the crisis detection ability that had saved Su Yang countless times.

Throughout his journey, without the Earthquake Bear, Su Yang could never have survived so many battles to this day.

Su Yang had recently focused heavily on cultivating the Hellblood Vine simply because it leveled up faster—he urgently needed Divine Beast combat power, urgently needed to become a God-Rank Beast Tamer, and needed to stabilize the situation in the Huaxia Federation!

The results proved Su Yang's decision was correct.

Without heavily boosting the Hellblood Vine, he could never have crushed the Qingluan Nation's Fire Phoenix Legion, never forced Qingluan to negotiate, never defeated the Beast God, allowing the Earthquake Bear to break through to God-Rank Low-Grade by killing the Beast God.

The Mythic Talent Gigantic Body was also extremely important for the Earthquake Bear!

Greater size would grant the Earthquake Bear even stronger strength, even stronger defense, even greater destructive power, and would greatly enhance its Gravity Control ability.

Before Gigantic Body, the Hellblood Vine's power surpassed the Earthquake Bear's.

But now that it has Gigantic Body, the Earthquake Bear's instantaneous burst power will absolutely exceed the Hellblood Vine's!

"System, awaken two talents for the Void Wraith!"

"Ding~ Your pet, the Void Wraith, has awakened the talent—Spatial Quake (Common)!"

"Ding~ Your pet, the Void Wraith, has awakened the talent—Void Blade (Common)!"

Spatial Quake (Common): Slightly increases the pet's Spatial Quake skill's destructive power, slightly reduces its energy cost, slightly increases its casting speed!

Void Blade (Common): Slightly increases the pet's Void Blade skill's destructive power, slightly reduces its energy cost, slightly increases its casting speed!

Su Yang saw both were Common-tier talents focused on skill enhancement—he found it acceptable.

Spatial-type pets are inherently late-game oriented.

Throughout, Su Yang had mostly used the Void Wraith for auxiliary combat.

Its destructive power had indeed been lacking.

At the Mythic level, the true strength of a spatial-type pet should emerge!

Now that its talents were awakened, Su Yang could just directly invest talent points into them from now on.

He also planned to use up the remaining one awakening opportunity.

"System, awaken one talent for the Seven-Colored Illusory Butterfly!"

Awakening opportunities should be used on pets with few talents, or those whose talents have already reached Mythic rank.

Like the Earthquake Bear, the Storm Eagle, and the Seven-Colored Illusory Butterfly—these three had low original growth potential, and their talents were far inferior to the Twin Souls, the Annihilating Phoenix, the Yinglong, and the Hellblood Vine, even falling short of the Three-Headed Shark and the Exploding Elder Yan Mo.

The Earthquake Bear and the Storm Eagle already had many Mythic talents.

But the Seven-Colored Illusory Butterfly was slightly lacking.

"Ding~ Your pet, the Seven-Colored Illusory Butterfly, has awakened the talent—Soul Prison (Common)!"

"Ding~ Your pet has mastered the Soul-type skill—Soul Prison!"

"Ding~ Your pet has mastered the Soul-type skill—Soul Burn!"

Soul Prison: This pet can collect the souls of the dead and imprison them within its body; these souls provide soul energy support and amplify the strength of all Soul-type skills.

Soul Burn: This pet can burn the imprisoned souls to instantly unleash powerful soul energy.
