Innate Skill: Vajra Downfall (Introductory)
Boasting dual attributes of gold and fire, gathering the two strongest attacking elements in the Five Phases, its offensive power should not be lacking.
And with its innate skill, Chen Xing patted the dog's head and had the evolved Twin-fiend Dogs release this newly awakened skill against Sìxiàng to check its effectiveness.
Sìxiàng walked up to the Vajra King Beast and reached out his hand with a steady gesture.
"Woof?"
The Vajra King Beast hesitated, as Sìxiàng had helped Chen Xing train these Twin-fiend Dogs during busier times, hence his special standing in their hearts.
But Chen Xing's status was even higher.
The Vajra King Beast looked at Sìxiàng innocently before its tail suddenly shot out from behind it, striking down like a Vajra staff hammering against Sìxiàng's chest.
Boom~
A muffled sound came from Sìxiàng's chest.
Sìxiàng looked at the Vajra King Beast strangely—this little guy hit hard.
One moment it looked so innocent; the next, it struck him fiercely.
It's true that the biting dog doesn't bark.
After demonstrating its skill on Sìxiàng, the Vajra King Beast timidly hid behind Chen Xing, but it was so big that it could barely hide itself, thus ending up burying its head behind Chen Xing and leaving most of its rear end exposed.
"That attack with the tail just now was Vajra Downfall, an individual attack skill, Sìxiàng, how powerful was it?"
Sìxiàng rubbed his chest, "It's got some strength."
Chen Xing thought that a simple test was enough.
This way he should be able to determine the Vajra King Beast's precise rating.
Chen Xing then took a photo of the Vajra King Beast and sent it to Li Guanqi.
He went back to his tasks, and in the evening, Li Guanqi replied.
"Is this a new evolution route you've discovered?"
Chen Xing replied, "I found it by chance."
"Are you at home now?"
"At home."
"Wait for me."
After sending the message, Li Guanqi arrived at Chen Xing's residence in less than an hour.
Upon entering, he noticed the Vajra King Beast lying on the grass in the backyard.
"It should have the metal attribute." Li Guanqi pushed up his glasses and observed the Vajra King Beast up close.
Li Guanqi mused, "I don't recall this species... It must be a new species of monster that is on the brink of extinction or already extinct."
"Would you like me to test it for you?" asked Li Guanqi for Chen Xing's opinion.
"Please do." Chen Xing clasped his hands and bowed slightly.
A new evolutionary form requires assessment by a professional institution to give an accurate rating, as the finder's own evaluation can be subjective.
The qualified person Chen Xing knew for this was Professor Li Guanqi, who had previously assisted with the Wood Spirit Hidden Hound.
"Alright, I'll give you the results in three days," Li Guanqi nodded.
Chen Xing issued an order to the Vajra King Beast to follow Li Guanqi and cooperate with her research.
Upon receiving Chen Xing's command, the Vajra King Beast obediently followed Li Guanqi, looking back constantly with reluctance as it departed.
With the Vajra King Beast away, only 48 Twin-fiend Dogs remained in the breeding farm.
For a group of 50, the loss of two didn't diminish the lively atmosphere at the dog factory where the remaining forty-eight Twin-fiend Dogs wagged their short tails, and the barking echoed continuously.
But if one leaves today and another tomorrow, will the dog factory eventually become quiet?
Having spent so much time with these puppies, he had indeed grown somewhat attached to them.
Chen Xing looked away, pulled down the gate, and returned to his residence.
...
Three days passed, and the evaluation of the Vajra King Beast came out quickly.
Attributes: Metal, Fire
Energy Level: 49
Body Length: 4.2 meters
Weight: 1400kg
Aesthetic Value: 4~6 (10)
Comments: Aesthetic value is determined by online voting based on photos, selecting one thousand netizens to give a composite rating of 5, according to test results.
Aesthetic scores may fluctuate by 1 point, indicating the Beast Taming's average aesthetics, meeting the standards of some Beast Tamers, and is above the pass mark.
Appearance is not a disadvantage, but it's not recommended as a selling point.
Temperament: 16 (20)
Comments: Stable temperament; loyal and protective of its master; displays strong aggressiveness when facing threats but obeys the Beast Tamer's command.
Mirrors the character traits of most canine beasts; patient during hunts, capable of prolonged stalking and ambush.
However, its aggressiveness can be a downside when attacking.
Resource Consumption: 7 (10)
Comments: Resource consumption score is a comprehensive metric; the larger the beast, the lower the score, the less it needs from external resources, the higher the score.
This Beast Taming doesn't consume a lot of resources but has a high activity level and prefers a meat diet; reducing its activity frequency could cut down the feeding frequency.
Combat Ability: 32 (40)
Comments: Combat ability reflects performance in battle at the same energy level; current test results show that the Vajra King Beast's head-to-head combat performance is excellent, with great strength, endurance, superior resistance to blows, and an extremely powerful bite; suited for frontal assault and pursuit.
Environmental Requirements and Training Difficulty: 13 (20)
Comments: This Beast Taming requires certain environmental conditions due to its high activity level and need for a substantial roaming area.
Training difficulty is low, suitable for novice Beast Tamers to train.
Current evaluation is superior.
Composite Score: 72~74
After receiving the message from Professor Li, Chen Xing first checked the composite score at the bottom, then reviewed other data based on the score.
Higher than the Wood Spirit Hidden Hound, which only scored 62~64.
