" Big Xiong, Big Xiong, are you there?"
After he absorbed the knowledge of casting and integrated it into the casting techniques of the Human Race, Jiang Ziliu finally relaxed.
Just then, a voice shouted outside his workshop.
He usually only opens the shop for a short period in the morning, and the afternoon is the time for casting as it is open to the public.
The guy who came here is called Qian Duoduo. He claims to be the son of an investor who loves investing in people in exchange for future friendships.
He made no attempt to hide this fact.
However, his true identity is not simple and he is likely to have a significant connection with the Qian family, a powerful merchant Qian Clan Tongbao Financial Firm.
Jiang Ziliu was using an alias, so he didn't refuse Jiang's deliberate attempts to get to know him.
Moreover, he discovered that he could obtain much more confidential information through Qian Duoduo.
Jiang Ziliu opened the door, and a large figure immediately squeezed in, a "friendly" smile on his face, trying to rush up and hug him.
But when he saw Jiang Ziliu raise his huge blacksmith's hammer, he nimbly walked around it and picked up a Bronze sword that Jiang Ziliu had forged, pretending to admire it.
" Big Xiong! Your skills have improved again! This time you've created a B Grade weapon!"
Jiang Ziliu had never sold a Bronze Rank weapon, but Qian Duoduo, that shrewd young man, noticed a hidden trace in Jiang Ziliu's craftsmanship on his first visit.
From then on, he relentlessly pursued the alias Jiang Ziliu, and through sheer shamelessness, he became Jiang Ziliu's only friend.
Jiang Ziliu did not reject his friendship; at least this guy had helped him avoid a lot of trouble.
For example, the covetousness of small clans within the No. 51 Level Four Base.
After all, he is a talent capable of creating and selling large quantities of C and D level weapons and equipment. This may not be much for major powers, but for smaller powers with the highest strength at the Bronze Rank, it is a guarantee of talent and equipment.
Jiang Ziliu rarely sold his weapons directly to outsiders; instead, he sold 90% of them to the Martial King City government in exchange for contribution points from the Martial King City system.
The official information is like a sieve.
The minor families also learned of this situation, but before they could even set foot there, they were stopped by the fat man, Qian Duoduo.
Since he was spared some trouble, he didn't mind doing a favor and getting to know this always "generous" fat man.
At worst, I can just quickly change my identity and run away!
Jiang Ziliu glanced at Qian Duoduo but ignored him; the kid already knew he could forge B Grade equipment.
"Speak, what brings you here?"
Qian Duoduo chuckled, "An interesting newcomer has arrived at the Grand Martial Arena today. Would you like to take a look?"
He tirelessly invited Jiang Ziliu to watch the matches at the Grand Martial Arena.
But Jiang Ziliu was busy with his studies and ignored him.
The Grand Martial Arena is a unique institution within the entire Martial King City Base Cluster. It was established by the Martial King Lightning Spear Supreme specifically to support the development of the Beast Taming School Martial Dao.
Strictly speaking, it's a large-scale fighting arena!
This event uses a revenue-sharing system, where all Beast Taming martial artists can participate in battles and receive a share of the revenue from ticket sales and other sources.
During the battle, the arena will provide a certain level of security.
To grow in the Beast Taming School Martial Dao, one needs to observe the martial arts of others and also conduct practical training in one's own martial arts.
Participating in such competitions becomes a great way to improve oneself and also earn some income.
The Martial King Base Cluster also expanded the influence of the Beast Taming School Martial Dao and enhanced the foundation of the first-class school through this method.
Now that Jiang Ziliu was ready to relax, he no longer refused as he had before.
"Okay, I'll go with you!"
"Hehe! Big Xiong! I knew it, you're not a real homebody!" Qian Duoduo laughed.
He only knew that Jiang Ziliu name was Xiong Chengqi, but he didn't know whether the name was real or fake.
So, to show his affection, Qian Duoduo always called him Big Xiong.
Who can blame him when his vest looks rather muscular, more like a bear?
Qian Duoduo and Jiang Ziliu headed towards the Grand Martial Arena together.
After leaving the house, Jiang Ziliu sensed several special life electromagnetic fields following him and his companion.
He already knew that this was Qian Duoduo's bodyguard.
The Grand Martial Arena is like a giant football field, but its central area is a full two kilometers wide.
The battles between beast tamers have a wide impact; a two-kilometer competition area is already considered a very small region.
At the start of the match, a special defensive barrier was erected in the arena to protect the spectators.
This is the application of some advanced defensive beast-taming ability.
After they arrived, the first match began.
Two Black Iron Grade Beast Taming martial artists stepped onto the field, each wielding a long spear and riding on the back of a Gale Leopard.
A martial artist is someone who utilizes the strength of their hands and feet, and the power of their weapons.
Weapons are an extension of the hands and feet.
Wind-attribute beasts like the Gale Leopard can grant them terrifying speed; after all, in the world of martial arts, nothing is invincible except speed.
Speed that surpasses the opponent—that is true power!
The spear increases their attack range and is their primary weapon.
Both of them also carried a short sword at their waists for close-range defense.
This configuration is the original growth ratio of the Lightning Spear Supreme, and it is also the most suitable configuration for ordinary Beast Taming martial artists at present.
For beast tamers who need an even greater speed boost, it's the light-attribute beast tamer, because the opponent's speed is even more terrifying.
The battle began, and the two, riding on their Gale Leopard, engaged in a contest of spears and speed.
Both of their feedback skills are related to wind, but their skill development and application are among the highest of all other beast tamers.
The power of wind was directly added to their spears.
Their other beast-taming feedback skills either enhance their speed, physical defense, or recovery abilities.
After all, a martial artist's core is himself; taming beasts is merely a means to enhance their own combat power.
The long spear struck horizontally, the short sword flashed like light, and as the blades clashed, the force of the wind blades constantly splashed out, causing continuous damage to the two.
The two also had different martial arts skills.
One of them was aggressive and liked to overwhelm his opponent with sheer force. Moreover, this person had a strong will and a terrifying mental fortitude, which manifested in his attacks to suppress his opponent.
The other is a purely technical fighter, meticulously utilizing every ounce of their strength, preferring to use minimal force to achieve maximum effect, and employing insidious and unpredictable attacks.
Both have their strengths, but neither can completely and thoroughly suppress the other.
Jiang Ziliu watched with great interest. This Beast Taming School Martial Dao was indeed extraordinary, and its combat power was even more formidable. However, for a Beast Tamer, it meant personally engaging in combat, which was also more dangerous.
He observed carefully and gradually learned some of the techniques, intending to incorporate them into his own use of power.
At the same time, he also used a contract to transmit the images he saw to his three tamed beasts, allowing them to learn from them.
With their intelligence, they can still learn something.
The battle continued, fiercely, yet it was difficult to determine a winner.
Because the other beasts controlled by that beast-taming martial artist who uses such powerful and sweeping attacks are likely to have defensive abilities.
When the opponent's attack hit him, his defense was very high, and the wounds were small.
His opponent, however, possesses a self-healing feedback skill, allowing him to recover quickly even from severe injuries.
Such a scene is intense and allows for a better display of each player's strength.
But it's also more interesting to watch!
This was clearly arranged by the Grand Martial Arena. A crushing defeat is never as exciting as a closely contested battle, which is a good way to hone the skills of both fighters.
Most of the matches here are fairly evenly matched.
Some people admire the philosophy of Lightning Spear Supreme, enjoy challenging the strong, and constantly hone and improve themselves in danger.
Jiang Ziliu also noticed it.
These martial artists who follow the Flowing Style are far superior to ordinary Beastmasters in close combat, while ordinary Beastmasters are superior to them in ranged combat.
Furthermore, Beast Taming martial artists possess strong defensive capabilities, but they cannot sustain prolonged combat due to their limited Dark Energy levels.
However, this style has a very high ceiling; once the level is raised to Silver Rank, it becomes extremely powerful, with combat strength far exceeding that of other Beastmasters of the same level.
After all, they have honed their skills through battle, and their weakness in ranged combat will gradually disappear when they reach a higher level of life.
