Monster Taming\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Li Ang was, of course, referring to the \"Professional Mystery—Gale Consecutive Slashes\" visible on her interface.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Okay!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She didn't even know the concept of a Mystery, but she could still understand what a \"strongest ultimate move\" meant.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Having practiced the sword for years, Zoe used the Sword of Wind Breath as if it were an extension of her own arm; even while hanging upside down, she easily whirled her short sword into a blur.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Wyvern realized the girl's Mystery and prepared to fight for its life; it stretched its neck, opened its crocodilian jaws, aimed at Zoe below, and began accumulating a wind-element energy orb wreathed in green light.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seeing this, Zoe swung her sword even more rapidly. Her blade couldn't strike the Wyvern directly, but the wind-element energy provided by the treasure stirred up chaotic currents that spread outward with destructive force, each one acting like a weakened wind blade.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>These secondary wind blades sent the Wyvern's scales and feathers flying, even tearing through its wing membranes. It shrieked and spat out the wind orb.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The wind orb spun toward the girl, but other wind currents blew in mid-air, and the orb instantly fizzled out.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Li Ang watched this scene from afar; he estimated that Zoe's \"Blessing of Wind\" skill had taken effect.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In the end, the Wyvern could not withstand the tearing of the wind blades and plummeted downward, taking Zoe with it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The human and the dragon fell straight off the island.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Li Ang shook his head, lamenting that this was what a novice looked like.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>That was why he hadn't immediately decided to recruit her into his group just because she was a protagonist of the world; there was simply too much to teach.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Reaching into his pouch, Li Ang grabbed all the Verdant Vines. After activating the spirituality within them, they immediately coiled and tangled, linking together.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He flung the vines toward Zoe. When the tip touched her body, it immediately wrapped tightly around her waist. Li Ang then reeled the vines in, using their own coiling strength to pull her and the Wyvern's corpse back onto the island.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zoe, who had fallen to the ground, was still shaken.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Scared—scared me to death!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Her eyes were red-rimmed, and she sat on the ground in a \"duck sit\" position, not even noticing that the hem of her skirt had rolled up.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But it didn't really matter, because she was wearing athletic shorts.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Her parents must have taught her to dress that way; they were quite competent in that regard.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>What was more of an issue was that the Verdant Vines had been activated with their clinging growth spirituality and were now wrapped tightly around her.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"W-what is this? Whoa!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Just wait a moment, it won't be so tight soon. I still have use for these vines; if I just untie them, they'll be ruined.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zoe struggled urgently under the binding of the vines, but because their internal spirituality had been activated and she had no leverage, she couldn't break free from them at all.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The vines hadn't bound her legs, so the girl struggled to stand up. Hunched over, she walked toward Li Ang, trembling with every step, her eyes looking over with a watery gaze.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Li Ang, save me—\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Because her dress had been worn for so long, every opening had become stretched and wide. As she leaned forward, the sunlight made her milky-white skin appear in vivid detail—it was far too dazzling.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Li Ang looked away.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zoe walked back and forth with difficulty, her back hunched and her gait unsteady. Because she couldn't move freely, the bright light in her eyes seemed to vanish in an instant.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Are you a turtle? Li Ang sighed and began mining.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>That group of Wasteland Beasts was of such poor quality that they weren't worth anything, so he just washed them off the floating island with water. The Wyvern's materials counted as a harvest, plus the minerals.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Touching his hand to the bedrock where the iron ore was buried, he activated a 4th-tier spell this time—Spirituality Erasure.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Including the Mana Shock, the spells that didn't appear on his interface were actually generated by the high-tier skill \"Spell Writing,\" which depended on Li Ang's understanding of the spirituality of all things over the past ten years.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The bedrock contained earth elements, and the spirituality of earth elements included \"cohesion\" and \"sedimentation.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He had relied on the sedimentation spirituality of the earth elements within the Solid Earth to defeat Zoe earlier, and now, Li Ang used the spell to erase the cohesive spirituality of the earth elements in the bedrock.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Clatter!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Once the spell was cast, the entire bedrock collapsed like a mudslide, scattering into countless small stones that rolled away. As these stones tumbled, they cracked into even smaller pieces, eventually turning entirely into dust.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Once the wind blew, the dust dissipated, and the ready-made iron ore could simply be picked up.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zoe, who had almost broken free from the vines, stared wide-eyed at his mining technique.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Li Ang happened to take the vines and readjusted them, turning them into a basket.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"How—how are all these things done?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zoe walked over while pulling and adjusting the position of her clothes.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I am a Spellcaster; this is the ability of my profession.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"A Spellcaster? Can I learn that?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Li Ang looked back at the girl. Her eyes were full of longing, but this was clearly curiosity sparked by being inexperienced.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Your Swordsman profession is practiced quite well. I suggest you train that to a higher level first before considering whether to dual-class in other professions.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Is that so? Once you learn one thing, are you stuck with it?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Human energy is limited, unless you are exceptionally gifted.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Li Ang had indeed seen some powerful dual-classers, but those people were one-in-a-million prodigies.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After the topic of professions came to an end, Zoe helped move the ore.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then, Li Ang and she began to dismantle the Wyvern's body.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The dragon teeth and claws counted as materials, but the scales were overly worn and of poor quality; the system even displayed most of the scales and feathers as a pile of trash.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[Low-tier Dragon Claw]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[The sharp claw of a low-tier dragonkin; although worn, it is still incomparable to that of a wild beast]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[Tier: 2]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[Spirituality: Sharpness brought by dragon blood]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[Usage: Alchemy, spellcasting material, equipment manufacturing]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Once the materials were finished, the girl ran back to pick out the pretty stones she liked. After digging through a pile of fine gravel, she held up a white, rounded object.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"What is this?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[Wyvern Egg]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[An egg laid by a Wyvern; it is a delicacy, and some people collect them to raise Wyverns]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[Tier: 2]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[Spirituality: Nurturing life]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[Usage: Cooking, summon contract]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After telling the girl it was an egg laid by the Wyvern from earlier, she immediately became interested, holding it and looking at it from all sides before turning to look at Li Ang.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Can I raise it?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Are you a primary school student?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I can't make that decision for you, but I don't recommend raising it. You would need to prepare a large amount of meat, and you don't have a way to contract with it. Wyverns are an undomesticated species; if something goes wrong, you could get hurt.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Then I'll listen to you.\" Zoe put the egg back in its original place with a well-behaved look.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Li Ang picked up the egg: \"We won't hatch it, but it's quite delicious when cooked. You've surely never eaten it before.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Mm-hmm!\" The girl nodded, staring at the egg for a long time until Li Ang put it away.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, when he touched the egg, the system popped up a notification window.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[Notification: Monster egg discovered, activating Summon Taming interface]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[Summon Taming: Possessing a monster egg allows the controller to tame it; the hatched monster will completely obey the controller's commands]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Completely obey?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This was another cheat-like function of the system.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Summons were different from the three abilities of profession, equipment, and energy source.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The world had placed restrictions on all life; whether human or monster, no individual ability could exceed Tier 10.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But as an independent individual, a summon could provide utility far exceeding a single restricted ability.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was just that for most people, the strength of a summon was no different from being restricted within Tier 10.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It wasn't difficult to obtain a summon, but obtaining a summon that was both powerful and suitable for oneself was no less difficult than obtaining a treasure.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The so-called \"summon\" implied two meanings: obedience and portability.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Traveling through the airspace required riding airships, so how a monster would follow became a problem. Therefore, most people used a mysterious item called a \"Demon-Sealing Cage\" to seal and carry monsters.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, powerful monsters could not be sealed, and disobedient monsters could not be sealed either.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And how to make a monster obey became the problem to be solved.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The most common method was the \"Mind Suppression Scroll,\" a magical item specifically for suppressing a monster's mind. It could release mind-suppression magic, but monsters captured this way would almost lose their \"combat intelligence.\" A Wyvern like the one from earlier, once subdued, might only be at a level slightly below Tier 2.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Some ethnic groups had invented taming methods to solve this problem, but those were their foundations and were secret techniques that were never passed on, and they couldn't tame overly powerful monsters either.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yet the system interface in front of Li Ang told him that as long as he obtained a monster egg, he could tame it directly?\u003C\u002Fp>",1609,"2026-06-21T01:23:38.712Z",1,"Gemini 3.1 Flash Lite","3d80b4375313052ba91ca1177554a21c9c07f31955dfc33a85afa7812420ec39","kicked-out-of-the-party-then-i-picked-up-a-probl-chapter-12","kicked-out-of-the-party-then-i-picked-up-a-probl-chapter-10",496,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fkicked-out-of-the-party-then-i-picked-up-a-probl-cover.jpg"]
