Chapter 4

The process of claiming a pet beast is not complicated.

Especially since Lu Yuan chose a Water Leap Frog, which no one looked favorably upon.

It took no more than half an hour for Lu Yuan to leave the pet beast cultivation center with the Water Leap Frog.

"Little Lu, now that you've chosen your pet beast, you must treat it well."

"Director Hao, I will."

Lu Yuan looked at the Water Leap Frog in his arms and nodded seriously.

After giving Lu Yuan and the Water Leap Frog in his arms one last look, Director Hao sighed and left.

Although Director Hao did not say it out loud, the disappointment in his eyes was clear to Lu Yuan.

But that's understandable; most people wouldn't look favorably upon a pet beast like the Water Leap Frog.

Only some less promising beast masters would choose such a pet beast.

A bronze-level racial potential, this pet beast was destined to have no future.

But... that's for others.

【Water Leap Frog】

【Attributes: Water, Earth】

【Template: Naruto's Jiraiya (Normal Form)】

【Compatibility: 95%】

【Racial Potential: Gold Three Stars (Diamond One Star)】

【Current Strength: Iron Two Stars】

【Potential: Legendary】

【Abilities: Power-Up, Sword of the Tongue, Thick Skin】

Looking at his pet beast, the Water Leap Frog, with the loaded Jiraiya template, Lu Yuan couldn't help but feel excited.

Powerful, incredibly powerful!

The original Water Leap Frog was just a bronze three-star racial potential existence.

But after loading the Jiraiya template, Lu Yuan's Water Leap Frog had almost undergone a qualitative leap.

First and foremost, the racial potential had jumped to a gold level, something Lu Yuan had never even dared to imagine.

This meant that the little guy in his arms would grow to become a gold-level pet beast in the future.

A gold-level pet beast, in any ordinary university, would already be a mentor-level existence.

In addition to the high racial potential, the Water Leap Frog's own potential had also been maximally enhanced, reaching the 'Legendary' level.

The difference between racial potential and individual potential is:

Racial potential represents the upper limit of one's race.

Individual potential represents the probability of breaking through the racial upper limit.

According to the system, a pet beast with 'Rare' potential will definitely reach the upper limit of its race.

A pet beast with 'Legendary' potential will definitely break through its racial upper limit.

In other words, Lu Yuan's Water Leap Frog would definitely be a gold three-star or higher existence in the future.

A pet beast with such enormous potential, let alone ordinary people, even some disciples of major families might not be able to obtain.

"Little guy, let's find a place to test your abilities."

"Kwa (Okay)!"

After leaving the orphanage, Lu Yuan directly went to the outskirts.

Although it's called the outskirts, it's actually still within the city's protected area.

After all, the real wilderness is filled with fierce beasts. With Lu Yuan's current strength, going to the wilderness would truly be a death sentence.

Lu Yuan put the little guy on the ground and pointed to a small tree.

"Little guy, aim for that tree and use your strongest attack on it!"

"Kwa!"

The little guy excitedly called out and began to power up.

【Power-Up: After accumulating strength for a period of time, the attack power can be doubled】

The little guy's body began to inflate like a ball.

After about three seconds...

Sword of the Tongue!

A crimson tongue shot out at an astonishing speed, striking the small tree forcefully.

Bang!

The small tree instantly exploded.

Lu Yuan was also shocked by the little guy's attack power.

This kind of power is probably close to that of a large-caliber machine gun.

However, after this attack, the little guy immediately became exhausted.

Lying on the ground, he panted heavily.

Lu Yuan took out a popular pet beast snack from his bag and handed it to the little guy.

"Very good, your attack, both in speed and power, is much stronger than most pet beasts. This is your reward."

After being praised, the little guy proudly tilted his head, acting cool, and then happily took the snack Lu Yuan offered and started eating.

During this process, Lu Yuan began to carefully observe the little guy.

Unlike ordinary Water Leap Frogs, after loading the Jiraiya template, the little guy's body had undergone some subtle changes.

One obvious change was that the little guy's limbs were much more robust than those of ordinary Water Leap Frogs, and his skin seemed to have become thicker.

In addition to the physical differences, the little guy had an unusual feature.

On his smooth head, some hair follicles began to appear.

Upon closer inspection, one could even see some white hair.

A frog with long hair, this was a bizarre development that Lu Yuan had never imagined.

However, Lu Yuan quickly understood the reason. In the Naruto series, Jiraiya often used his hair for attacks.

After inheriting Jiraiya's template, the little guy's genes naturally gained corresponding abilities.

Although these abilities were temporarily limited by the little guy's current strength and could not be displayed,

they would gradually change his body, gradually creating a body suitable for Jiraiya's fighting style.

The power of the system template once again refreshed Lu Yuan's understanding.

Not only could it enhance the pet beast's potential, but it could also change the pet beast's genes.

The Water Leap Frog, overall, looked very similar to the Pokémon Froakie.

And Froakie's ultimate form is Greninja.

Coincidentally, the template the little guy loaded was also the ninja Jiraiya's template.

Oh, could I be raising an interdimensional version of 'Greninja'?

Lu Yuan couldn't help but think as he watched the little guy happily eating the snack.

"Alright, that's enough for today. We'll start formal training tomorrow."

"Kwa!"

After putting the little guy into his beast master space, Lu Yuan left the place.

...

After returning home, Lu Yuan sat at his desk and began to study the little guy's training plan.

Unlike ordinary beast masters, who only have a general direction for their training plans and find it difficult to have a comprehensive content,

since beast masters still do not fully understand pet beasts.

Many pet beasts' potentials have not been fully tapped.

All they can do is plan for the pet beasts based on existing data.

Compared to them, Lu Yuan undoubtedly had a significant advantage in this aspect.

Because Lu Yuan was very clear about the direction in which he should train his pet beast.

In his notebook, Lu Yuan began to recall Jiraiya's famous abilities.

They can be roughly divided into: Fire, Earth, Summoning, Special, and Sage Techniques.

Among the special techniques are combinations like the Toad Oil Flame Bullet and the Rasengan.

Finally, Lu Yuan lingered on the word 'oil' for a long time, deep in thought...
