Chapter 5

【Pet Name】: Violent Bear

【Pet Attributes】: Metal, Earth

【Potential Level】: Ordinary Extraordinary ~ Elite Extraordinary

【Pet Talent】: Great Strength

【Racial Skills】: Frenzy, Slap

【Pet Introduction】: A common animal-type pet in the country, the Violent Bear is usually gentle as long as it is well-fed and well-watered, making it very easy to raise. However, in battle, it is extremely violent, with the drawback of being relatively slow.

The Violent Bear's attack and defense are highly competitive among low-level pets. After using the racial skill Frenzy, it can overcome its speed deficiency.

In theory, such a Violent Bear should be very popular among ordinary beast masters.

However, in addition to being slow, the Violent Bear has a fatal flaw.

This fatal flaw is that the Violent Bear's potential level is very low. Except for a few exceptionally talented Violent Bears, most have only an ordinary extraordinary potential level. Once the beast master apprentice advances to a professional beast master, the Violent Bear can no longer support the beast master.

Therefore, only a small number of beast master apprentices from ordinary families would choose to contract a Violent Bear.

The pets in the Young Beast Home are not kept in iron cages but are raised in small artificial bases, mostly surrounded by glass walls to control the temperature, humidity, and other natural conditions suitable for their growth.

Following the path on the map, Chen Wen and He Xiong quickly headed towards the base where the Violent Bears were raised.

On the way, Chen Wen asked curiously, "Big Bear, why did you set your sights on the Violent Bear? Brother Zhu Wu said that the first pet should ideally be one with outstanding potential."

As he spoke, Chen Wen pointed to the illustrations of the Whistling Wind Tiger and the Fire-Spitting Ape in the book. These two have potential levels ranging from Elite Extraordinary to Rare Extraordinary, clearly a level higher than the Violent Bear.

He Xiong hesitated slightly, secretly scanned the surroundings, and then leaned close to Chen Wen's ear.

"Chen Wen, I'll only tell you, don't tell anyone else!"

Chen Wen nodded and said, "You know me, I've kept your bedwetting secret for ten years!"

Slap!

He Xiong's round face immediately turned red, and he slapped Chen Wen's shoulder, making a crisp sound.

If Chen Wen hadn't been prepared, he would have been knocked to the ground by He Xiong.

Drawing a deep breath, Chen Wen said, "Wow, Big Bear, did you learn the Slap skill from the Violent Bear?"

"Hmph!"

He Xiong snorted heavily and said angrily, "Who bedwet at seven? Do you still want to hear the inside story?"

Chen Wen rubbed his sore shoulder and said, "Go on!"

He Xiong leaned close to Chen Wen's ear again and whispered, "My cousin Yu Huai is a beast breeder at the Xichuan Provincial University. He bought the Hundred Flowers Honey for me... He and his teacher are researching the evolution path of the Violent Bear. The research is nearing completion, and the evolution path has been submitted to the Beast Breeder Association for review."

"You're amazing, having a cousin who is a beast breeder!"

Chen Wen was happy for He Xiong. Having a relative who is a beast breeder would definitely be a great help to He Xiong's future as a beast master.

A beast breeder is a profession that involves breeding and researching pets, possessing specialized knowledge and skills for raising and helping pets evolve.

Beast breeders are different from beast masters; they don't necessarily need the talent of a beast master but must have strong professional knowledge.

"Haha, Brother Yu Huai is pretty good to me!"

He Xiong laughed foolishly and said to Chen Wen, "Chen Wen, if you haven't decided yet, you might as well contract a Violent Bear too. Don't waste the Hundred Flowers Honey!"

"Got it... Didn't you say you wanted to try it?" Chen Wen smiled, "If I really contract it, you won't have the chance to try it!"

He Xiong laughed without responding.

Chen Wen lightly shook his head. He knew that the Hundred Flowers Honey was specially prepared for him by He Xiong. No matter how greedy He Xiong was, his parents wouldn't buy such expensive snacks for him.

The two continued chatting as they walked and soon arrived at a small breeding base on the west side.

Through the glass wall, they could see a small stone mountain in the corner, mostly covered with green grass. Seven young Violent Bears were playing and frolicking on the lawn.

Outside the iron gate of the breeding base, nine students were already lined up, and at the front of the queue was a staff member in a white lab coat.

Approaching the last student in the queue, Chen Wen asked, "Classmate, what's the situation now?"

The boy, who had a few pimples on his face, turned around and said, "Contracting a pet requires queuing. First come, first served, one by one!"

Chen Wen frowned and said, "There are only seven young Violent Bears, but nine people are in the queue..."

Earlier, he thought he was being smart by asking the staff for advice, but looking at the queue, he realized his behavior was unnecessary.

At least, it was unnecessary for He Xiong.

Asking for advice was useful for him, but it had the opposite effect on He Xiong, who had already made his plans.

He Xiong waved his hand and said, "It's fine. The Violent Bear isn't easy to contract. In previous years, the success rate was only about 50%."

He then said to Chen Wen, "But you, have you decided what pet to contract? If you're not sure about contracting a Violent Bear, you can go around and look. Once you find the right one, go for it."

Chen Wen nodded.

Looking at the long queue, Chen Wen considered for a moment, said goodbye to He Xiong, and left.

Although he had the Hundred Flowers Honey, and the Violent Bear's potential would not be low after its evolution path, the Violent Bear was not on Chen Wen's list of pets to contract.

His beast master talent could freely use the attributes, skills, talents, and bloodlines of pets.

The Violent Bear's attributes were decent, but its talents and skills were quite ordinary. As a beast master, why would he need to learn Frenzy?

To become a berserker?

Battle is something for pets to handle. As a beast master, he wanted to be elegant.

Before coming to the Beast Breeder House, Chen Wen had already made his plans.

At first, he had many ideas: invisibility, transformation, fire control, water control...

He liked all the talents and skills, but he couldn't have everything at once. He could only choose the most suitable one.

After much consideration, he decided that his first pet would be a flying pet with good potential.

The main reason for choosing a flying pet was for future safety.

The profession of a beast master is quite dangerous. Even in secret realms filled with danger, beast masters might face battles where opponents break the rules and directly attack the beast master with their pets.

Therefore, the most important thing for a beast master is to ensure their own safety.

Ordinary beast masters protect themselves by wearing armor, learning evasion techniques, or having their pets defend them.

Chen Wen was different. With the "Bond" talent, he could freely use the skills and talents of his pets.

Therefore, he planned to contract a flying pet as his first pet.

If he remembered correctly, the news he saw yesterday was about a beast master who escaped a dangerous situation thanks to a flying pet.

By contracting a flying pet, he could freely use a flying skill or talent.

When encountering danger in the wild, he could let the pet take the lead in defense while he strategically retreated.

Compared to directly riding the flying pet to retreat, his method of retreating would be at least twice as safe.

Flipping through the pet manual, Chen Wen followed the map to a valley not far from the Violent Bear breeding base.

"Fire Crow, you're the one I've chosen!"
