Beast Taming: I Can Even Breed Gods and Demons - Chapter 547: 197: Nurturing Soul Force Field (6702)

Chapter 547: Chapter 197: Nurturing Soul Force Field (6702)
“‘Mind Control’ skill can control the enemy for 5 seconds, ignoring physical defense, but might be ineffective or weakened under powerful magical defense.”

“‘Mind Control’ skill cannot be used on beings with overwhelmingly superior mental power; the user may suffer backlash, so be careful.”

“When casting the ‘Mind Control’ skill, the caster’s own actions will also be restricted, making it difficult to use other skills or actions.”

Looking at the description of the Soul Nurturing Wooden Spirit’s Mind Control skill, Chen Fan’s eyes lit up!

As a mental skill, Mind Control has different strengths compared to Blackie’s Mental Spike.

Blackie’s “Mental Spike” has the advantage of being simple and direct, capable of disrupting the enemy’s rhythm and interrupting their actions or spells when they don’t have their Psychic Barrier open. This exposes their weaknesses.

Even magical defenses like “Obsidian Armor” or “Azure Crystal Armor” can’t block Mental Spike.

However, “Mind Control” can be affected by various magical armors or shields and may be ineffective or weakened under powerful magical defenses.

From this point of view, Mental Spike is stronger.

But Blackie’s “Mental Spike” can’t easily kill opponents of the same level or even higher levels.

That’s why Chen Fan usually uses this skill in combination with his Sky-Cleaving Heavenly Blade to achieve a one-hit kill effect.

But “Mind Control,” if used properly, might kill strong enemies in one move.

Say a fifth-grade realm…

In situations where one cannot break the opponent’s defense, even using Mental Spike might not be effective.

Because even if the opponent just stands there and lets you strike, you might not be able to do any damage.

But Mind Control can control the enemy for 5 seconds!

What if you use this skill to control the enemy and have them commit suicide?

Chen Fan doesn’t know how powerful this skill is or what special effects it might produce when cast.

But this skill makes him feel an endless possibilities.

Having said that, while this skill is powerful, it has a very obvious drawback…

It can be easily weakened by magical defense.

It’s important to note that practitioners in Fourth Realm and above can already condense Star Power Armor.

Even if the enemy has no other defenses, just the Star Power Armor might significantly weaken this skill’s effect!

If an enemy has Star Power Armor, wears a strong defensive Battle Armor, and is covered with a Guardian Beast’s Magical Defense Armor…

Would Mind Control still be effective?

Lastly, this drawback is the most deadly…

“When casting ‘Mind Control’ skill, the caster’s own actions will also be restricted, making it difficult to use other skills or actions.”

If the enemy has companions, using this move would put oneself in a desperate situation, wouldn’t it?

As such, this skill can only be used for sneak attacks when it’s guaranteed that you’re safe.

Chen Fan quickly skims through the information, with ideas flashing through his mind one after another.

Without waiting for Chu Xuan and others to react, Chen Fan summons Orange Cat.

As a mentally powerful creature, Orange Cat is undoubtedly the most suitable one for mental skills.

Although the Old Sect Leader’s soul was nearly shattered and then sealed inside Orange Cat by Empress Ye Hongyan, he still possesses mental power superior to ordinary Fifth-grade Realm practitioners, being a camel that’s bigger than a horse even when dead thin.

“Scoundrel!”

As soon as Orange Cat crawled out of the Beastmaster’s Space, it angrily said, “You treat me like your Guardian Beast, summoning and dismissing me at will!”

Chu Xuan and Shen Hongxiu were stunned upon hearing this.

Aren’t you Chen Fan’s Guardian Beast?

Since you’ve already signed a contract and can freely enter and exit the Beastmaster’s Space, what are you if not Chen Fan’s Guardian Beast?

Chen Fan didn’t pay any attention to Orange Cat.

After asking Zhuo Sheng to open the door to the training ground, he walked straight towards the Soul Nurturing Wooden Spirit.

The Soul Nurturing Wooden Spirit was motionless, like an old wooden stake.

But the other four Guardian Beasts showed unfriendly eyes as soon as they saw the strangers enter.

Behind them, the two managers soon ran to the front and appeased the beasts with a few words.

The four Guardian Beasts turned their heads away and continued to bask in the sun on the grass.

Chen Fan squatted down in front of the Wooden Spirit.

The Wooden Spirit was a bit weak with a mild temperament, and even when Chen Fan came close, it only rolled its eyes, seemingly indifferent.

After glancing at the Wooden Spirit’s Attribute Panel, Chen Fan asked the two managers, “How long has the Wooden Spirit been here? What do you usually feed it?”

The two managers didn’t know Chen Fan.

But seeing Zhuo Sheng and Zhang Wei respectfully by his side, they knew that Chen Fan must be someone important.

One of them quickly answered, “It’s been here for three days already, and during this time, it’s been fed Wood Attribute monster flesh. But since the monster meat is usually below level 9, it doesn’t seem to be satisfied.”

Another manager said, “We don’t know why, but even though it eats a lot, it always seems to be weak.”

Of course, it’s weak…

The Wood Attribute monster meat mainly replenishes its Star Power but doesn’t restore or improve its mental power.

Just like Blackie, even if you give it flesh from 10th level or higher Demon attribute monsters every day, it won’t be satisfied; it needs to devour souls from time to time.
