Beast Taming Patrol Chapter 1524: 427: Lin Su's Decision (2-in-1, Countdown to Finale: 24)

The immense strength dwelling within the weapon seemed capable of causing the void itself to buckle; it was easy to envision a single blow from this long staff grinding any adversary into dust.

“This is a melee-type skill designed to exert fighting force, yet it also preserves the properties of the former Stinging Song.” Tata swung the staff through the air twice, creating a violent sonic boom. “Any foe struck by it will find their injuries becoming the primary source of their recovery, forced into a state of continuous healing.”

Lin Su and the five little ones let out a collective gasp of shock.

In the past, Tata lacked significant offensive potential, as the Stinging Song was strictly a supportive technique for allies.

Now, however, it possessed formidable combat prowess. How devastating would a Head-on Blow be when infused with the essence of the Stinging Song?

Furthermore, since the Head-on Blow counts as an attack, it would simultaneously activate the effects of Retaliation…

An opponent fighting Tata would likely cough up blood from sheer frustration.

“What about the final skill?” Lin Su asked, his curiosity piqued.

“The last one is titled Fighting Will!” Tata explained. “Upon activation, I will rapidly enter my absolute peak fighting state.”

“Oh? That sounds promising, let’s see it.” Lin Su’s eyes shimmered with interest.

“Understood.” Tata gave a firm nod and immediately triggered the ability.

In the following instant, Lin Su and the five little ones were stunned to see Tata’s eyes turn a deep, blood-red as a faint, murderous battle zeal radiated outward.

You call this a peak fighting state?

This looks more like an Electric Control Mage descending into a berserk frenzy!

“Pop!”

Youyou instinctively teleported behind Tata and delivered a quick flick to its forehead.

Tata snapped back to its normal self instantly, sheepishly scratching its head in embarrassment.

Lin Su watched Tata with a faint smile, his mind beginning to race with possibilities.

While Tata’s recent evolution appeared to have reduced its number of innate talent skills, the actual leap in power was undeniable.

With Comet Strike and Head-on Blow, it now possessed two distinct offensive skills—one for long-range and one for close-quarters engagement.

Though it seemed simple, the fact that Tata now possessed fighting skills meant it could naturally acquire and master fighting teaching skills.

The Recovery Song, through its profound resonance, had already pushed Tata’s Recovery Power to its absolute limit.

The beast had not only gained the ability to wage war but had also maintained its previous healing specialty, which was undoubtedly the most favorable result.

And then there was Retaliation. This passive core skill had become the linchpin of Tata’s power.

The ability for any strike to generate an equivalent measure of recovery sounded absurd, and in actual combat, it would be even more broken.

As for that final skill, Fighting Will…

It was best not to dwell on that for now.

Having grasped the extent of Tata’s new capabilities, Lin Su spoke up, “Tata, while you were undergoing your evolution, the other five decided on the paths they will take to break through to immortality.”

“I am nearing the breakthrough to the ninth level myself. Once I reach it, I plan to halt my Cultivation and wait for all of you to finish defining your paths before we move forward together. So, have you chosen your future direction?”

Tata scratched its head, pondering the question.

Previously, it would have followed Youyou’s lead without a second thought, choosing the path of recovery rules.

However, the realization of its dream to possess combat power had brought about a new set of considerations.

It was now destined to walk a unique road.

“I intend to begin with my core skills!” After a moment of reflection, Tata’s eyes sparkled with clarity.

What was the true essence of recovery rules?

Through its steady Cultivation and understanding of recovery, Tata had reached a realization.

Just as water flows toward the lowest point or heat dissipates into the cold,

all things in existence move toward a specific destiny or decay.

Recovery Power, however, is a force that moves in direct opposition to that flow.

This explained why it could pull together scattered energy, mend broken bodies, and even nullify the effects of Youyou’s Fragment Rules.

Retaliation was still rooted in the recovery rule, but it had evolved further after being fused with fighting skills.

This specific rule was no longer merely about healing; it was about rewinding!

If Tata could master these specific laws, its power would reach unprecedented heights.

With this realization, Tata’s gaze became filled with an intense, focused fighting spirit.

This was it!

This was the Dao it would follow!

“Since your mind is made up, then pursue that goal with everything you have.” Observing Tata’s resolve, Lin Su gently patted its head. He then turned to look at all six of his companions. “Now, we must evaluate our current circumstances.”

Blessings and disasters are often intertwined.

Though they had been tossed into the spatial turbulence by accident and landed on this island—a place of great significance for Lin Su and the six little ones—the gains had been immense.

Lanlan had been awakened and was finally back with the group.

Lin Su was on the verge of reaching the ninth level of his Beast Taming Space.

Several of the little ones had successfully inherited legacies from their previous life cycles.

Ghostly had acquired a second Heaven and Earth Seed.

And Tata had finally secured the Five-colored Gem it had always wanted, completing its transformation.

Now that the initial excitement of these windfalls had settled, they had to plan their next move.

“If my memory serves me…” Lin Su surveyed the horizon, then looked toward the east with a sigh. “We are very far from the Eastern Extreme Domain, though we are relatively close to the West Profound Domain.”

“Our Master likely knows I’ve gone missing by now. We must head back to the Eastern Extreme Domain as fast as possible to let them know we are safe.”

The six little ones nodded their heads in solemn agreement.

“Within the Endless Sea, my spatial abilities will be restricted to some degree.” Ghostly performed a quick mental calculation before speaking. “However, if I push myself to the limit, we should be able to reach the Eastern Extreme Domain in just a few days.”

“A few days is acceptable.” Lin Su nodded, then hesitated. “But there is another problem. How are we going to explain the situation regarding Lanlan once we return to Blue Star?”
