Beast Taming Patrol

Chapter 524: Chapter 188 Divine Martial also has Weapon-type Mythical Beasts?!_3

“Well said. In the Celestial Battlefield, places of opportunity like the Spirit Ruins Pond are numerous. Entering them, managing to find one or two would make rising to the skies no difficult feat in the future,” Lin Father chuckled and then glanced at Lin Su, “Little Ye should be able to break through to the third level of the Nayuan Realm today, so you don’t need to worry about him anymore.”

“Good.” Lin Su patted Lin Ye’s shoulder and nodded slightly.

If Lin Ye could break through to the third level of the Nayuan Realm before entering the Celestial Battlefield, his strength would be sufficient to protect himself there.

“This Spirit Ruins Pond…” Lin Zhen Nan was about to say something when his eyes caught a glimpse of the Youyou carried on Lin Su’s back, and his eyes suddenly filled with surprise, “Eh, what is this…”

“Father, this is Youyou. It now has its own consciousness,” Lin Su said with a smile as he took Youyou from his back and gripped it tightly in his hand.

“Is this…” Lin Zhen Nan felt the energy fluctuations emanating from Youyou, and his pupils contracted slightly, “A Spiritual Weapon?!”

Uh?

Lin Su blinked.@@novelbin@@

His father’s reaction was somewhat different from what he had expected.

“Spiritual Weapon?” He couldn’t help but ask, “What is that?”

Could it be referring to a weapon-class exotic beast?

In that case, could there also be weapon-class exotic beasts in the divine martial world?!

Really? He had never heard of it before.

“I wanted to ask you. The Ghost Shadow Spear I gave you, how did it become a Spiritual Weapon all of a sudden?” Lin Zhen Nan’s expression became animated as he gently held Youyou, feeling its vibration and the faint resistance it conveyed and nodded slightly, “A weapon with a spirit, indeed a Spiritual Weapon.”

“The so-called Spiritual Weapon refers to the weapon that martial artists craft in a special way and eventually imbue with spirit,” Lin Zhen Nan said, addressing Lin Su’s bewildered face without holding back, “Its power is much greater than ordinary weapons, and they are classified into four grades: inferior, medium, superior, and supreme.”

“Such weapons can greatly enhance the strength of martial artists who wield them. It is said that the supreme-grade Spiritual Weapons can even speak like humans, fight on their own, and are not much different from martial artists in strength.”

“Even the worst inferior-grade Spiritual Weapon is considered immensely valuable,” Lin Zhen Nan said, looking at the Youyou in Lin Su’s hands with an extra touch of bafflement, “It’s incredible how the Ghost Shadow Spear has become a Spiritual Weapon.”

This spear was one he had personally overseen during its forging.

As it was a weapon intended for his son, Lin Zhen Nan had not been stingy; the materials used were indeed extraordinary.

But even so, it seemed a far cry from a Spiritual Weapon, right?

There was no one in the entire Dayan Kingdom capable of casting a Spiritual Weapon.

And within the Dayan Kingdom, the most precious Spiritual Weapon was nothing more than an intermediate-grade weapon among the royal armory.

One could imagine how rare that was.

“Cough cough, I’m not quite sure why it turned out this way. It’s just been in the Space Ring for a while,” Lin Su coughed lightly, deflected the question, and quickly changed the subject, “Father, do we have other Spiritual Weapons in our family? I’d like to see what other Spiritual Weapons look like.”

“Oh yes,” Lin Zhen Nan nonchalantly waved, and the long spear he often used appeared in the void, “My Thunderbolt Spear is an inferior-grade Spiritual Weapon, and it is also the only Spiritual Weapon our Lin Family has.”

Lin Su blinked.

Lin Zhen Nan never used that spear when sparring with him, so previously Lin Su had only seen him use it a few times from a distance and was not very familiar with the Thunderbolt Spear.

He had thought the spear was just of better quality, never imagining it was a Spiritual Weapon.

With that in thought, Lin Su subconsciously reached out with his other hand and gently grabbed the Thunderbolt Spear hovering in the void.

The moment Lin Su grasped the shaft, the Thunder Light on the Thunderbolt Spear exploded swiftly, dancing along the shaft without attacking Lin Su, only causing a tingling sensation in his palm.

Lin Su’s mind dove into the Thunderbolt Spear and immediately sensed a self-awareness within it, similar to Youyou’s.

This Thunderbolt Spear, too, possessed a soul and could be considered a living being.

But…

With one hand holding the Thunderbolt Spear and the other holding Youyou, after carefully comparing the two, his expression gradually became strange.

It’s different.

Spirit weapons and weapon beasts are not the same.

When holding Youyou, Lin Su had a clear feeling that he could use the Beast Taming Space to bind the other party and form a contract with it, turning it into his pet beast.

In fact, this was an intuition that Beast Tamers had when coming into contact with any beast.

But when holding the Thunderbolt Spear, Lin Su did not have this kind of intuition.

This means that spirit weapons cannot be contracted.

Just this point alone shows that there is an essential difference between them.

Releasing his grip on the Thunderbolt Spear, Lin Su did not mention his discovery; instead, he asked curiously, “Dad, what are the characteristics of spirit weapons?”

“Let’s talk while we eat,” Lin Zhennan chuckled. “Although I don’t know why the Thunderbolt Spear has become a spirit weapon, it’s a good thing. With it, your strength will definitely increase by a notch.”

“Hmm!” Lin Su nodded in agreement.

Once Youyou progressed to the commander stage, it would greatly assist his own strength.

Of course, there was no need to rush.

His current strength was already quite good, and Youyou’s improvement needed to be gradual.

The family sat down.

Lin Zhennan enjoyed the delicious breakfast while explaining the characteristics of spirit weapons to Lin Su.

And throughout the explanation, Lin Su’s expression gradually became enlightened.

Indeed, the two were different.

According to Lin Zhennan, spirit weapons were forged by martial artists who had mastered special weapon casting techniques, and those capable of forging spirit weapons were called Weapon Casting Masters.

This was a secondary occupation for martial artists.

Like the relationship between configuration masters and Beast Tamers.

Thus, spirit weapons were forged by people, whereas weapon beasts were induced by high-purity energy radiation.

The emergence of weapon beasts was actually imitating the way beasts were born.

Perhaps it is because of this that weapon beasts can be contracted, while spirit weapons cannot.

Beyond this, weapon beasts have the characteristic of unlimited evolution, which spirit weapons do not have.

Once a spirit weapon is forged, its quality is completely fixed.

To enhance its quality, one can only forge it anew.

Looking at it this way, weapon beasts seem to have quite an advantage over spirit weapons.

However…

Chewing silently on a soft and sweet bun, Lin Su suddenly had a thought.

What if, a weapon beast…

were to be reforged using the method for forging spirit weapons…

What would happen?
