Chapter 523: Breaking the Prohibition
Chapter 523: Breaking the Prohibition
Feeling the task progress at ninety-five percent, Li Qian didn't hesitate and directly invested ten achievement points.
With the investment of ten achievement points, the task progress instantly reached one hundred percent.
The task progress increased from ninety-five percent to one hundred percent, consuming ten achievement points.
"It seems that as the task quality improves, the cost of filling the progress will also become higher and higher."
Looking at the thirty-plus achievement points that were barely accumulated through completing the White Phoenix's evolution task, now reduced to twenty-one, Li Qian sighed helplessly in his heart.
Although he didn't return to the pre-liberation era, the sudden loss of so many achievement points still made him feel quite distressed.
Just as the task progress reached one hundred percent, Li Qian didn't hesitate and chose to submit the task.
The task submission went as expected; apart from the influx of evolutionary knowledge, there was no change in either mental energy or achievement points.
Li Qian wasn't surprised. He immediately started examining and absorbing the knowledge that had been infused.
At the same time, as Li Qian exited the conversation and began quietly receiving the knowledge infusion, on the other side, Mu Tianhua, Zhao Zihuan, and the chief executive of Cloudwave City, Zhou Yuanzheng, had already begun an intense discussion.
After discussing for a while, the three of them reached a certain consensus.
They exchanged glances and made a decision. Zhao Zihuan spoke up, "Wait, let's go and communicate with Li Qian and the others."
"I choose to trust Li Qian. A seventy percent success rate isn't low, it's worth a try."
"Even if it fails, we can still retreat in time."
Zhou Yuanzheng and Mu Tianhua heard these words and nodded in agreement.
"Li Qian, we've made our decision. We believe in you. In such a crucial moment, you won't deceive us!"
After discussing for a while, the three of them reached a decision.
Zhao Zihuan took the lead again and walked towards Li Qian. He said, "Li Qian, there's something I'd like to ask you."
Li Qian smiled, a hint of confidence appearing on his face.
"Cloudwave City is also my half-hometown. Supporting my hometown is my duty."
Li Qian spoke with righteousness, making Zhao Zihuan feel a little embarrassed.
Previously, he had no choice but to use such a set of persuasive skills to encourage Li Qian.
Of course, Li Qian didn't blame him for that.
However, not blaming him didn't mean he couldn't tease him a little.
Seeing that Zhao Zihuan and the other two had reached a unanimous decision and were about to leave to discuss with others, Li Qian thought for a moment and then suddenly spoke up, "Chancellor Zhao, please wait a moment."
"There's something I'd like to consult you about privately."
Mu Tianhua and Zhou Yuanzheng heard Li Qian's words and tactfully chose to leave.
Li Qian also signaled to Irina beside him, and she understood his intention and followed them out.
Here, Li Qian's safety was guaranteed, so she didn't need to worry.
After everyone left, Li Qian didn't waste any time. He got straight to the point, "Chancellor Zhao, I wonder, what is your Beast Mastery Talent?"
Asking such a question was a bit presumptuous.
However, to increase the success rate of his actions as much as possible, he still asked.
Moreover, he believed that if it matched, Zhao Zihuan wouldn't refuse what he was about to propose.
"Huh?"
Hearing Li Qian's sudden question, Zhao Zihuan was taken aback.
Apparently, Li Qian never expected that he would be left alone by Li Qian for this matter.
After a moment of hesitation, he immediately realized and spoke frankly, "My Beast Mastery Talent is unique compared to other Beastmasters. It's called 'Breaking the Ban', and as the name suggests, it breaks taboos and frees one from constraints."
"My Beast Mastery Talent doesn't enhance the combat power of Companion Beasts, but it can significantly reduce the obstacles they face when breaking through to higher ranks, increasing the success rate of advancement."
Zhao Zihuan's response excited Li Qian.
Not because of his honesty, but because the Beast Mastery Talent "Breaking the Ban" perfectly aligned with his upcoming plan.
Initially, he only had the idea of giving it a try and casually asking about it.
Even if the Beast Mastery Talent wasn't a perfect match, having a Beastmaster would still increase the probability of Companion Beast advancement to some extent.
This is also the reason why most Companion Beasts don't strongly resist forming a contract with Beastmasters.
However, Zhao Zihuan possessing such a well-matched Beast Mastery Talent was somewhat unexpected.
His face couldn't help but show a trace of ecstatic expression.
"This is great, simply amazing!"
He exclaimed excitedly, and as he spoke, he extended his hand.
In his palm, the seedling left by Ancestor Cypress reappeared.
"This is the seedling left by Ancestor Cypress. With the help of the Nine-Nine Yuan Dragon Array, I'm confident I can make it thrive again, and there's a high probability of breaking free from constraints and advancing to the Legendary Rank!"
"Previously, I told you that the success rate of advancement is around seventy percent. This is still a conservative estimate!"
At this point, his gaze intensified as he looked at Zhao Zihuan, "If, I mean, if you can form a contract with it, and with your Beast Mastery Talent driving the mutually beneficial effect... for breaking through and advancing, and ultimately resolving the crisis in Cloudwave City, I believe, with your Beast Mastery Talent, the success rate can reach at least ninety percent!"
Although Zhao Zihuan had already guessed Li Qian's intentions when he asked, upon hearing Li Qian's plan, Zhao Zihuan's heart couldn't help but stir with excitement.
Li Qian actually wanted him to form a contract with the Mu Clan's Ancestor Cypress, taking this opportunity to seek a breakthrough.
Thinking of this, his whole body trembled uncontrollably.
Because he realized that this plan had a high probability of success.
Moreover, there was one more thing he couldn't help but associate with this.
His old buddy, the Nine-Yuan Inferno Hellhound, with dual attributes of darkness and fire, had already reached the peak of the Holy Spirit Rank.
If not for his spiritual power constraints, it would have likely already advanced to the Legendary Rank.
This time, if he could take advantage of Ancestor Cypress's transformation to enhance his own spiritual power and break free from constraints, then he might possess two Legendary Rank Companion Beasts in one go.
He would be able to directly suppress the crisis in Cloudwave City.
Even the entire Cloudwave Beastmaster Academy might ascend to a new level because of his advancement.
It was precisely because he thought of this that his whole body trembled uncontrollably.
He was so excited that he couldn't control himself.
