Chapter 109: The Blue Crystal Water Tiger Cubs Seeking Help! To Help or Not to Help?
Although Jiang Han's sudden appearance startled Lin Tianming, seeing her smile again as usual reassured him.
This was the Jiang Han teacher he was familiar with!
Without continuing to bicker with Jiang Han, Lin Tianming turned his attention back to the Beast Master and the Blue Crystal Water Tiger.
This was the first time Lin Tianming had encountered an awakened ability user who was a Beast Master since he had crossed over.
He was very eager to see if this Beast Master could indeed subdue the Blue Crystal Water Tiger.
"My luck is truly great today! First, I came across a wounded Level 25 Blue Moon Wolf King, and now I've encountered a heavily injured Level 26 Blue Crystal Water Tiger, and it even has two cubs that were just born not long ago!"
"If I can tame a Blue Crystal Water Tiger cub and nurture a bond from a young age, it will definitely be more in sync than directly taming an adult Blue Crystal Water Tiger!"
"Blue Crystal Water Tiger, you're badly injured right now. Why don't you just give up resisting? Hand over your two cubs to me, and I'll let you go. How about that?"
The Beast Master was eyeing the two Blue Crystal Water Tiger cubs with greed.
Today, he and his sister came to visit the Imperial Capital University and then hurriedly arrived at the Lost Forest to see if there were any awakened beasts worth taming.
These two Blue Crystal Water Tiger cubs seemed perfect—one for himself and one as a gift for his sister.
Faced with the Beast Master's greed, the Level 26 Blue Crystal Water Tiger let out an angry roar.
It opened its mouth, and a surge of water shot towards the Beast Master.
Seeing that the Blue Crystal Water Tiger was unwilling to submit, the Beast Master's eyes turned cold.
"If you won't hand over your two cubs willingly, don't blame me for being ruthless. Go, Blue Moon Wolf King!"
Howl!
The Level 25 Blue Moon Wolf King howled, and the blue moon pattern on its head glowed, forming a blue moon phenomenon in front of it.
Boom!
In an instant, a blue moon beam shot out, clashing with the Blue Crystal Water Tiger's water jet.
Without the support of its Blue-faced Wolf pack and being a level lower, the Blue Moon Wolf King's solo combat ability was no match for the Blue Crystal Water Tiger. The blue moon beam was quickly dispersed by the water jet.
"As expected, in solo combat, the Blue Moon Wolf King, which relies on pack support to exhibit its strongest combat power, is far inferior to the Blue Crystal Water Tiger."
Although the Blue Moon Wolf King's attack was destroyed instantly, the Beast Master remained confident in defeating the Level 26 Blue Crystal Water Tiger.
"The stronger you are, the more it proves that taking your two Blue Crystal Water Tiger cubs is the right choice! Crimson Plume, come forth!"
As he spoke, the Beast Master raised his right hand, a crimson mark glowing in his palm.
With the mark glowing, a fire-feathered crimson bird appeared and flew out.
"A Level 27 fire-element awakened beast, Crimson Plume! Teacher Jiang Han, what is that mark in the Beast Master's palm?"
Although surprised that the Beast Master had another awakened beast, Lin Tianming was more interested in the crimson mark in his palm.
Jiang Han, hearing this, patiently explained to Lin Tianming.
"That's the Beast Taming Mark, a space where tamed awakened beasts can reside after forming a contract with the Beast Master. Since Crimson Plume is a fire-element awakened beast, his palm showed a fire-element mark."
[Stupid boy, you are quite curious. Feel free to ask me anything, your teacher knows everything!]
With Jiang Han's explanation, Lin Tianming understood more about Beast Masters.
At the same time, he had a sudden thought.
If he copied the Beast Master's ability, could he also form contracts with awakened beasts and have his own?
Lin Tianming had previously copied a similar ability from a Puppet Master, allowing him to create his own mechanical puppets.
Unfortunately, creating mechanical puppets was too complex. After creating one, he still had to find Alice to replicate and fully control it.
With the constant battles with Alice, and many other reasons, the inability to see immediate results, and the many training courses and threats from different goddess reincarnators, Lin Tianming abandoned Alice's ability after returning from the Mechanical Secret Realm.
But this Beast Master ability seemed different; he could directly tame awakened beasts and use them in battle immediately.
With his copying ability now having a cooldown of only six hours and considering the good progress in his strategy against the goddess reincarnators, the urgency to always have a life-saving card was reduced.
With these thoughts, Lin Tianming's eyes slightly narrowed.
Next to him, Jiang Han, who was very familiar with his God Hand copying ability, immediately sensed something was off.
[This boy... he seems to be copying that Beast Master's ability. He doesn't plan to...]
Hearing Jiang Han's perceptive thoughts, Lin Tianming couldn't help but admire her understanding of his God Hand ability.
Just as Jiang Han guessed, he had a bold idea.
Under Lin Tianming and Jiang Han's continued watch, the Level 26 Blue Crystal Water Tiger, severely injured, couldn't match the Level 27 Crimson Plume's attacks.
"The Blue Crystal Water Tiger, with its excellent solo combat abilities and water element advantage over fire, could normally defeat Crimson Plume despite the level difference. But now, due to its injuries from your previous plan, it stands no chance even with the elemental advantage."
Jiang Han provided real-time analysis of the battle to Lin Tianming. Almost immediately after her analysis, the Blue Crystal Water Tiger fell to the ground under Crimson Plume's attack.
Its two cubs ran to its side, their eyes full of fear and worry.
The Beast Master, seeing the Blue Crystal Water Tiger fall, smiled with satisfaction.
"This is what you get for defying me. In the end, you couldn't beat me. If you had handed over your cubs earlier, you could have avoided suffering. Now, even if you don't want to give them up, they're still mine!"
The Level 26 Blue Crystal Water Tiger let out an unyielding roar, trying to stand up to protect its newly born cubs.
Seeing the Blue Crystal Water Tiger still resisting, the Beast Master's eyes turned vicious. "Crimson Plume, finish it! Blue Moon Wolf King, go fetch those cubs!"
With the Beast Master's command, Crimson Plume and the Blue Moon Wolf King charged towards the Blue Crystal Water Tiger.
The Blue Crystal Water Tiger roared at its cubs, signaling them to run, then continued to block the attackers, struggling to buy time for its cubs to escape.
The two cubs didn't want to leave their mother but were pushed away by a water jet from her.
Seeing this, the cubs finally started to run, their steps unsteady.
Unfortunately, their mother couldn't hold out for long and collapsed again under Crimson Plume's attack.
Despite being heavily injured, the Blue Moon Wolf King easily caught up with the unsteady cubs.
The cubs, frightened by the approaching Blue Moon Wolf King, stumbled and collided with the legs of a suddenly appearing stranger.
Realizing their mother's uncertain fate, the desperate cubs clung to the stranger's leg, pleading for help with their innocent tiger roars.
And this stranger was Lin Tianming, who had been watching with Jiang Han from the shadows.
