[Skills: Wilderness Demon Taming Skill, Eighth Grade (1/10)]

And under "Wilderness Demon Taming Skill, Eighth Grade (1/10)," there's a line of small red text: Requires Ninth Grade Beast Taming Skill at Grandmaster Level.

This line further confirms Li Yuan's speculation and also allows him to ascertain one thing: Skills that accompany and complement inherited Cultivation Skills are easier to master.

For instance, the previous "Spring and Autumn Blade," its cultivation condition of Jingzhe required only Spring Thunder to reach "Advanced," which was indeed much easier.

Therefore, forces with complete inheritance become powerful in this world, while those without...either stagnate at a very low level or end up in a dead-end.

Because Li Yuan knows how difficult it is to reach Grandmaster Level. Besides "cultivation" and "actual combat," it requires "enlightenment" and "guidance from an expert."

If "enlightenment" is somewhat reliable, then "guidance from an expert" is purely dependent on luck, and most people don't have the time to wait for such an opportunity. Their lifespans are limited, and they must break through to Sixth Grade while their bodies are still strong, or else hope will fade as they age.

But these are not an issue for Li Yuan.

At this moment, Li Yuan glanced at the panel information and directly clicked on the "++" after "Wilderness Demon Taming Skill, Eighth Grade (1/10)."

He spent "150" points and directly increased it to "Wilderness Demon Taming Skill, Eighth Grade (1/160)."

New memories flooded his mind, with a process similar to the previous Beast Taming Skill, except Li Yuan felt his affinity had increased significantly. Through the memories, he knew...he could now tame Eighth Grade Demon Beasts.

This was Grandmaster Level and is the precondition for cultivating "Wilderness Demon Taming Skill, Seventh Grade."

Reaching this level means he can start working on mastering subsequent skills.

However...

Li Yuan suddenly remembered something.

When he had cultivated "Beast Taming Skill" to perfection, it seemed to produce some kind of "mutation."

That mutation was not present in Tracking Skill, nor in Eighth Grade Tracking Technique, Eighth Grade Jingzhe, or Eighth Grade Leap Abyss.

The above-mentioned skills, upon reaching "Perfection," only deeply enhance the original skill, whereas "Beast Taming Skill" underwent an unusual leap, from "having high affinity with beasts" to "a certain probability of understanding the communication of insects."

Beasts and insects, now that was a leap across a major category.

Thinking briefly, Li Yuan clicked again on the "++" after "Wilderness Demon Taming Skill, Eighth Grade (1/160)."

Suddenly, another 159 points were consumed, and new memories drilled into his mind.

After many years of honing, his ability to tame beasts became increasingly powerful, and those surrounding him changed from beasts to fierce beasts.

Those dark and dangerous forms hovered around him, with vicious eyes ready to devour, drooling with foul-smelling saliva, uttering low growls filled with madness and bloodlust, all making people feel fear.

Yet these terrifying demon beasts were all beasts he had tamed.

He didn't need to intervene directly; just a glance or a gesture would have a demon beast tear his target to pieces.

But he still wasn't happy.

Because he felt this wasn't "his truly captivating end."

On this day, the sun was bright, and he left his demon beasts, arriving alone at a village devastated by war.

He sat cross-legged on a stone, contemplating his desired goal.

Suddenly, he noticed the ants at his feet, carrying a mantis corpse. He heard the ants' excitement and focus, tried communicating with them, over and over, tirelessly. But...every attempt was met with failure.

He continued trying...

Finally, one day, he succeeded, by mimicking the queen ant's vibration frequency, emitting a strange sound that had a certain probability of commanding an ant and giving it simple instructions.

Li Yuan closed his eyes, absorbing his current feeling.

"As expected, the skill deviated once again from its original path.

From having high affinity with Eighth Grade and below demon beasts, it became clearly identifying ant species, with a certain probability of successfully commanding an individual ant."

"But even controlling ants isn't much use... it's merely odd."

He temporarily set aside "Wilderness Demon Taming Skill" and picked up the "Soul-Throwing Technique" gifted by his teacher.

He stared at the Life Atlas, staring until sleepy, revealing nothing, and closed the "Soul-Throwing Technique"; then practiced blade techniques, hoping to merge "Spring Thunder," "Jingzhe," and "Leap Abyss" into one, though clearly, it also required a sudden flash of inspiration.

Time flew by, and by evening, Lady Yan and the landlady returned, and he boarded the carriage.

The carriage bumped toward the Inner City.

Upon arriving at the courtyard, the maid, Xiaozhu, ran excitedly and said, "Master, Master, today someone from the Blood Saber Sect came and delivered a box of gifts for you."

"What gifts?"

"It seems to be meat."

"Understood."

Li Yuan nodded, ran to open the box, and sure enough, it was filled with bits of meat layered with ice chunks. The meat was blood-red, exhibiting some kind of eerie freshness, even though it had been cut much earlier.

It was "Eighth Grade Demon Beast Meat."

And there was already over a hundred pounds in this box.

"Xiaozhu!" Li Yuan called.

The cyan-robed maid quickly ran over and said, "Master, what is it?"

"Who sent it? Did they say why they sent it?"
