Chapter 117: The Way to Control Beasts
After hearing what Li Qian said, Tie Lao couldn't help but twitched the corner of his mouth, and then a bitter smile appeared on his face.

He glanced at Li Qian and said helplessly, "Three of my four pets, the Wind and Thunder Lion, the Purgatory Adder, and the Golden Pearl Beret, have surpassed the potential limits of their existing species."

"However, their potential limit is limited to the Overlord level. Under the premise that they cannot evolve, the possibility of further improvement has been cut off."

After listening to Tie Lao's explanation, Li Qian did not speak immediately, but remained attentive.

He knew very well that he was only halfway through his sentence, and Tie Lao obviously had no intention of stopping there.

Sure enough, after a pause, he continued, "As for the fourth pet, the four-winged mantis, its racial potential is the highest, reaching the peak of the overlord level."

"Logically speaking, with my best efforts in training and cultivation, it shouldn't be difficult to break through the limits of race potential and reach the emperor level."

"However, unfortunately, more than a decade ago, in a battle, in order to protect me, it suffered extremely serious injuries and its bones were damaged..."

At this point, a deep sense of loss flashed across Tie Lao's eyes. "After the root bones were damaged, even if I put all my efforts into cultivating it and fulfilled its full racial potential... However, under this situation, it would be a fantasy to think of breaking through the limit of racial potential."

After hearing Tie Lao's explanation, Li Qian frowned slightly.

He was still a little confused, so he continued the topic and asked, "Old Tie, among your four pets, the one with the lowest racial potential is Jinzhu Beilei. Theoretically, it is only at the ninth level of leadership."

"However, even so, you have trained me to the second level of Overlord."

"If they can evolve once more, maybe they can be promoted to the emperor level. The other three pets, the Wind and Thunder Lion, the Purgatory Adder, and the Four-Winged Mantis, are even more so. If they evolve once more, they will definitely reach the emperor level."

"I have naturally thought about the evolution you mentioned..."

After hearing what Li Qian said, Tie Lao's bitter smile became more obvious. "But, my four pets have all reached the strongest evolutionary form in existing theory!"

"Even if I wanted to move on, there is no higher level evolutionary route."

While listening to Tie Lao's statement, Li Qian gazed at a large group of koi in the central pond.

At this moment, they were surrounding the four green-scaled dragons and seven frost-fire demon salamanders like a group of obedient little brothers.

Seeing this scene, Li Qian's mind moved, and he suddenly thought of something, so he asked: "Then, have you ever thought about trying to change your pet?"

After hearing this, Tie Lao shook his head firmly and said, "Changing the pet is indeed a solution, but I have never thought about it."

He smiled and continued, "You can call me stubborn or conservative, but I will never abandon my pet."

"They and I have known each other since childhood. They have accompanied me as I grew up, and saved me countless times. We are partners that I can entrust my life to. If I abandon them just to become stronger, then what is the meaning of becoming stronger!"

He also looked at the Green Scaled Dragon and the Frost Fire Demon Newt who were playing in the central pond, with a hint of envy in his eyes.

If he had been able to obtain a pet with such potential when he was young, he might have been promoted to the emperor level by now.

Retracting his gaze and looking at Li Qian, he exhaled and said in an open-minded tone: "For me, becoming a beastmaster and becoming stronger is for the purpose of protection. This is my way of taming beasts."

Li Qian was quite moved after hearing this. The way to tame beasts?
Tie Lao’s way of taming beasts is to protect, so what is your own way of taming beasts?
This thing sounds very mysterious, but if you put it another way, it is easy to understand.

Li Qian remembered that when he first entered Beast Tamer High School, his teacher asked him why he wanted to become a Beast Tamer.

At that time, Li Qian, that is, his predecessor, had very simple ideas. His answer was to become a powerful beastmaster, make a lot of money, and let his parents live a better life.

This idea, or original intention, is very vulgar, but strictly speaking, it can also be regarded as a way to tame beasts.

Li Qian's way of taming beasts at that time.

The way to taming beasts is not static, but will change with changes in the environment or strength.

The beast-taming techniques of that time would definitely not be suitable for Li Qian now.

After all, he is no longer the original Li Qian.

After thinking for a while, Li Qian still couldn't figure out what his method of taming beasts was, so he simply stopped thinking about it.

He shook his head and put his messy thoughts behind him.

Now, there is no point in thinking so much. Just take one step at a time. Li Qian believes that as he experiences more and more things, his way of taming beasts will become clearer and clearer.

Li Qian smiled and gave Tie Lao a look of approval, "Tie Lao, I really appreciate your attitude towards your pet."

"I'm still wondering if you think I'm conservative." Tie Lao smiled happily and looked at Li Qian, feeling as if he had found a close friend regardless of age.

Walking over and patting Tie Lao on the shoulder, Li Qian said confidently, "Don't worry, Tie Lao, I'll take care of this matter. Don't forget what I do!"

Without stopping, he continued, "I believe that your Wind and Thunder Lion, Purgatory Adder, Golden Pearl Belle, and Four-Winged Mantis must have evolved to a higher level."

"I am still very confident in this regard. Just because other trainers can't figure it out doesn't mean I can't do it."

Tie Lao looked at Li Qian and was in a good mood seeing how confident and willing he was to take on such a big responsibility.

Regardless of whether Li Qian can research and develop higher-level evolutions of these four pets, it is already rare to have such a thoughtful intention.

Without saying anything to comfort him, Tie Lao looked at him with a burning gaze and said, "Okay, then I'll put my hope on you!"

As he spoke, he was also thinking in his heart: Since classmate Li Qian was able to research the evolution methods of the Green Scaled Dragon and the Frost Fire Demon Newt in high school, he may be able to research the evolution methods of the four pets he has contracted in the future.

Seeing General Tie's hopeful eyes cast upon him, a ripple slowly appeared in Li Qian's heart.

If I can really gain a sense of accomplishment through this, this might be my own unique way of taming beasts...
