Chapter 688: Chapter 239: Faith Evolution Path (Two in One, Request for Monthly Ticket)_6

“For instance, if there’s a totem said to control storms, then a pet evolving toward that specific totem would develop the ability to control storms using its Talent Skills.”

[MoeX: Wow, doesn’t that mean you just need to fabricate such a totem and make people believe in it to get any skill you want?]

[Dream Hidden Soul: What if I believed in an invincible totem, would I be invincible too?]

[Xiang Ywei: It shouldn’t be that simple, right? There must be some restrictions.]

[…]

Noticing some comments in the barrage, Song Luo pondered for a moment before speaking, “Mr. Qin, if someone made up an omnipotent totem and let pets evolve towards it, wouldn’t they become omnipotent after possessing the Talent Skills?”

“That idea was also considered by the initial Desert Mocha Safety Alliance,” Qin Yunzhang chuckled and nodded in agreement, “but in practice, it turned out to be hard to achieve.”

“Talent Skills are different from normal skills; they don’t consume the pet’s supernatural power but do use up the pet’s faith power. Although faith power isn’t one-time, its regeneration rate is very slow,” Qin Yunzhang spread his hands, “There indeed were people who used this method to awaken a Talent Skill in their pet that could destroy heavens and earth with a single use.”

“What happened then?” Song Luo couldn’t help but ask.

“As a result… the amount of faith power needed for one use of that skill, even if the entire Desert Mocha Safety Alliance worshipped that totem, couldn’t be reached,” Qin Yunzhang smiled meaningfully, “Powerful abilities naturally come with corresponding costs.”

“Under normal circumstances, Talent Skills are much more powerful than other skills and, with an immense amount of faith power in a short burst, can even threaten opponents of a higher tier.”

Qin Yunzhang smiled, “The Desert Mocha Safety Alliance was able to gain an advantage in battles against the Immortal Country by relying on fewer but stronger Beast Tamers, thanks chiefly to Talent Skills.”

“Could a pet that underwent Faith Evolution at the emperor tier threaten those at the immortal tier?” Song Luo couldn’t help but ask.

“That’s not possible,” Qin Yunzhang shook his head, “The gap from emperor tier to immortal tier is vast, and under normal circumstances, it’s very hard to bridge. Faith Evolution can give pets power beyond the emperor tier, but it’s still a long way off from immortal.”

“Besides Talent Skills, the pathway of Faith Evolution also has another advantage,” Qin Yunzhang smiled, “Although we can’t utilize this advantage in today’s skirmishes, it’s key to the Desert Mocha Safety Alliance’s ability to confront the Red Flame Immortal Country.”

“Oh? What advantage is that?” Song Luo became curious.

“It’s called Faith Domain. When a group of people within a certain range believes in the same evolution path totem, the strength of the Faith Evolved pets is enhanced; the more believers, the greater the enhancement,” Qin Yunzhang smiled, “Thus, the Desert Mocha Safety Alliance doesn’t have safe zones, only ‘Faith Tribes.'”

“Every tribe believes in the same totem. Within a certain range of the tribe, the Beast Tamers believing in that totem are all enhanced, thus maximizing the strategic advantage of the terrain.”

“In the Desert Alliance, to keep the Faith Domain effective at all times and allow combat Beast Tamers to fight with the greatest possible strength enhancement, ordinary folks made tremendous sacrifices,” Qin Yunzhang sighed, “More than ninety percent of the Faith Tribes are located near the front lines.”

“They are truly in a dire fight; if they lose, it’s all over,” Qin Yunzhang said, shaking his head slightly, his eyes filled with a hint of admiration.

The Yan Huang Alliance also made huge sacrifices to combat foreign beasts, but couldn’t manage like the Desert, placing most of the population clusters near the front lines.

If the front lines were to collapse, the entire Desert Mocha Safety Alliance could be annihilated.

There was no room for retreat.

“Let us pay our highest respects to the soldiers of the Desert Mocha Safety Alliance who are still fighting, and to all those fighting against foreign beasts for the survival of humanity,” Song Luo’s expression grew serious, “Thank you for your company in the battle against the Immortal Country.”

[Pink Rabbit: Good job, Desert Alliance!]

[Annoying Ghost Xiaoling: Cheers to all who fight the foreign beasts for the survival of humanity!]

[Bored Little Crocodile: Once I break through to master level, I will join their ranks!]

Soon, the live stream returned to the main topic and resumed discussing the upcoming sparring and exchange battle.

“In that case, the Desert Mocha Safety Alliance Beast Tamer participating in today’s sparring is at a disadvantage,” Song Luo helplessly spread his hands, “other than himself, there seems to be no one else around here who believes in the Faith Totem, so the Faith Domain can’t take effect to provide a power boost.”

“Indeed,” Qin Yunzhang nodded slightly, then suddenly spoke, “The sparring and exchange matches are about to start.”

In the frame, two Beast Tamers had already taken their positions, and the referee began the countdown.

For a moment, the atmosphere of the entire live stream became somewhat tense.

[Situ Qianlong: Go Lin Su! I believe Lin Su can definitely win!]

[Sponge Heart: The Beast Tamers of the Muddy Soil Safety Alliance have even lost their Faith Domain, doesn’t Lin have too big an advantage?]

[Shou Lei: Waiting to see Lin defeat the opponent!]

[…]

…

“Three…”

“Two…”

“One…”

“The match begins!”

As the referee finished the countdown and announced the start of the match, Lin Su and Sangla from the Muddy Soil Safety Alliance both made their moves.

Two light blue patterns slowly intertwined in the void, and a surging Energy Storm rose into the sky.

The momentum of both sides crushed against each other, and soon, two pets emerged from the void.

“Meow! (newni)” (Leave this battle to me!)

Qiuqiu’s slender paws stepped on the void, its eyes shimmered with intense frost, and a burning battle intent that even the frost could not conceal, gazing at the opponent in front of it.

This battle would be fought by Lin Su and it together.

On the other side, the creature that appeared behind Sangla was a pet with somewhat exotic features.

A deer’s head, a crane’s neck, a sheep’s body, tailless.

Lin Su’s eyes narrowed slightly, and he immediately started his communicator to begin scanning.

[Sequence None

With over 350,000 in normal energy value, coupled with that tangible yet intangible power of faith.

Lin Su’s expression gradually became serious.

This opponent might not be so easy to deal with.
