Volume 1, Chapter 44: As long as the goal is achieved, everything can be the price!

For an ordinary beast tamer, after using the skill crystal set of three, the power of the energy bomb skill increases from 100% to 200%, then to 400%, and finally caps out at 800%.

Take Bai Jinghao, one of the Bai family twins, as an example. Even with his energy bomb power increased eightfold, it remained largely useless.

If a top-tier prodigy like him faced this limitation, the eightfold enhancement for other beast tamers would naturally be even more mediocre and redundant.

Lin Yao was completely different.

Amplified by the [Attribute Multiplication] talent, the increase in his energy bomb's power was not a mere eightfold, but a staggering eightyfold!

With Lin Yao striking at full power, his energy bomb had unquestionably transformed into an exceptionally terrifying lethal ultimate move.

Furthermore, he no longer needed to ceremoniously "hand-craft" and cast his energy bomb skill.

With just a single thought, he could instantly materialize one or more energy bombs around his body, lock onto a single target or multiple targets, and unleash a devastating bombardment!

As long as his own energy reserves were sufficient, he could cover a massive area with a torrential, sky-blocking barrage of energy bombs.

Lin Yao could not help but become slightly carried away by his triumph.

He pulled Xia Yumeng into his arms and planted several fierce kisses on her face.

He simply couldn't help it; his mood at this moment was magnificent, and his excitement had surged to the absolute peak.

The problem he faced now was no longer about his skills being difficult to use or lacking in destructive power.

What he needed to solve was how to equip himself with a massive energy reserve far exceeding that of ordinary people.

However, this issue was not something that required an immediate solution.

Under the influence of the attribute multiplication talent, his energy capacity was already ten times higher than that of ordinary people, which was more than enough for most situations.

Should worst come to worst, he still had his wife Xia Mengying, who could share her attributes with him.

At this thought, an evil notion flashed through Lin Yao's mind.

If Xia Mengying were a beast-girl possessing the attribute-sharing talent, he would be able to ride into battle mounted on Xia Mengying.

Of course, even if Xia Mengying was not a beast-girl, at the appropriate time, he could still "ride" Xia Mengying all the same.

With his strength skyrocketing, Lin Yao could hardly wait to immediately go and clash with Qin Tanlang's faction.

Although he could not yet achieve infinite firepower and relentlessly carpet-bomb Qin Tanlang and his cohorts with endless energy bombs.

Right now, not a single person in Qin Tanlang's camp could possibly withstand an energy bomb boasting eighty times his normal power!

Xia Yumeng finally managed to break free from Lin Yao's turbulent embrace and muttered with feigned annoyance, "Just how much did your skill's power increase by? It's got you this happy."

Lin Yao reached out to pinch Xia Yumeng's delicate, pinkish cheek and chuckled, "What kind of talk is that? Show some respect and call me husband!"

Xia Yumeng rolled her eyes and reluctantly let out a coy cry, "Husband! Is that satisfactory now?"

Lin Yao shook his head with a smile, "Words alone aren't visual enough. When we run into the enemy, you'll understand at a single glance."

Xia Yumeng was displeased. "I've already called you husband, yet you're still keeping me in suspense, doing nothing but bully your little wife!"

Lin Yao smiled warmly. "I'm bullying you, so what?"

Xia Yumeng gave a soft huff. "Hmph! I'm never coming to find you on my own initiative again!"

Lin Yao remained completely unfazed. "It's the same if I come to find you instead; you can't escape the palm of my hand anyway."

Xia Yumeng panicked.

She lowered her gaze to look at her own chest and threatened, "If you bully me like this again, I'll cut them off! Do you believe me?"

Lin Yao instantly chose to compromise.

"I was just joking earlier. Furthermore, outrageous statements like that are strictly forbidden in the future."

He added defensively, "Well... to put it more directly, please refrain from arbitrarily deciding how to dispose of my beloved treasures."

Xia Yumeng giggled and said, "I'm not listening to you! I've caught your weakness now! Let's see if you still dare to bully me in the future!"

Lin Yao certainly still dared to bully her, though he chose not to do so at this precise moment.

After finishing the skill crystal set of three, he successfully incorporated the Shen brothers under his command.

Then, accompanied by his three wives including Xia Mengying, his three subordinates including Liang Xiaofei, and a horde of shadow werewolves, he rushed toward the location of the Rose Treasure.

Along the way, the number of shadow werewolves under his command quickly grew from 31 to 32.

Once his beast tamer level reached rank 13, Lin Yao could manufacture four to five shadow werewolves per day at most.

However, there was no need for him to produce them all at once.

Presently, the terrifying power of his energy bomb skill meant he had no need to exhaust all his energy and mental power solely on creating shadow werewolves.

Meanwhile, before the barrier enclosing the Rose Treasure, two groups of people were currently deadlocked in confrontation.

On one side were Qin Tanlang, Zhao Wuji, and the subordinates of Su Longtao.

On the other side were the numerous surviving beast tamers scattered throughout this small pocket dimension.

In truth, this minor alternate space had been discovered many years ago.

It was only this time, with Qin Tanlang and his cohorts embarking on a murderous rampage throughout the alternate space, that everyone realized the legendary Rose Treasure was hidden right here.

Behind Qin Tanlang and the other two figures, approximately one hundred beast tamers had currently gathered.

Some of these beast tamers were their original subordinates, while others had defected and sworn allegiance during the slaughter.

Opposite them, at least two hundred beast tamers had assembled.

Yet the gazes these beast tamers cast toward Qin Tanlang and his group were filled with intense apprehension and even sheer terror!

Zhao Wuji coldly swept his gaze across the crowd opposite them and stated, "Kill these rabble first, then open the Rose Barrier."

Su Longtao, however, shook his head. "No. The blood Qi we've collected so far is already sufficient to activate the Blood Slaughter Demon Array."

"Let's use the Blood Slaughter Demon Array to blast open the Rose Barrier first, and drive these fellows inside to scout the path for us."

"Once the three of us have completely divided up the Rose Treasure among ourselves, we can return to clean up these escaping fish."

Having stated his perspective, Su Longtao turned his gaze to Qin Tanlang. "What is your opinion?"

Qin Tanlang was casually toying with his pitch-black longbow.

Even though he merely pulled the bowstring slightly without nocking an arrow, it was still enough to terrify the group of beast tamers opposite him into absolute silence.

Hearing Su Longtao's inquiry, Qin Tanlang laughed dismissively, "I don't mind either way. Whoever offers the benefits, I'll listen to them."

Upon hearing this, Zhao Wuji immediately chimed in, "Regarding the Rose Treasure, I support you taking forty percent all by yourself. The woman you've always wanted, I'll cede to you as well. Additionally, I owe you a favor and can perform one task on your behalf."

As he spoke, he pushed a beautiful woman standing beside him directly toward Qin Tanlang.

This beautiful woman was none other than Zhao Wuji's girlfriend.

However, to Zhao Wuji, women were no different from changes of clothes.

Once he became the head of the Zhao family, what kind of women could he not have?

The woman instantly broke down psychologically.

She had never expected Zhao Wuji to be so heartless, actually handing her over directly for other men to toy with.
