Beast Taming: Invincible Breeder-Chapter 344 - 319: Holy Panda

When the words were spoken, the secretary felt something was off, and she crossed her arms over her chest, wary.

"What’s the cost?"

"Not the kind of cost you’re thinking of, it’s the cost of losing some important resources."

"Important resources can be found again later, but once a person is gone, no amount of resources are useful."

"Alright, sign the confidentiality contract first."

Li Cunxu said cautiously.

Seeing the secretary signed the confidentiality contract, Li Cunxu patted Jiang Lingyun on the shoulder.

"Her talent is unparalleled fortune, but there’s a slight downside; every time she awakens a contract spot, if a kind person helps her with expansion items, she would be grateful to them. Being appreciated by someone full of fortune will bring them endless luck."

The secretary understood Li Cunxu’s method: show kindness to Jiang Lingyun, borrow her fortune to increase the Golden King’s luck, improving his survival chances, and all she needs to pay is some expansion items from the Golden King’s treasury.

This approach is highly feasible.

"Wait for me, I’ll go right away."

The secretary quickly ran to the Golden King’s treasury and brought back all the expansion items.

There were four in total.

With this, Jiang Lingyun gained four additional contract spots, allowing her to contract four more Golden Brocade Mice.

Jiang Lingyun felt she didn’t have to do anything, just pray occasionally for the Golden King’s good luck, and she would receive so many expansion items from others, which was unbelievable and she didn’t want to accept it.

But she couldn’t refuse the secretary.

The secretary said, "Leave me a contact method, so if I collect more expansion items in the future, I can send them to you."

"Send more? No need, no need."

"It’s necessary, it’s necessary, my lord just asks that you pray a bit more for us."

Li Cunxu said, "She hasn’t bought a phone yet, once she gets one, I’ll send you her contact information."

"Alright."

The secretary asked, "I haven’t asked, what business do you have with the Golden King?"

Li Cunxu replied, "This time I’m here to pick the sacred beast egg I didn’t select last time from the champion reward."

"Do you already have a favored sacred beast?"

"Yes, I want the Holy Panda egg."

"The Holy Panda? A very good choice."

The secretary praised him and then led Li Cunxu to the first Breeding Ground in Shendu.

Upon arriving at the first Breeding Ground, the secretary spoke to a burly, bald man in a white short-sleeve.

"The champion of the Golden Tournament is here to pick a sacred beast egg."

The secretary introduced the bald man to Li Cunxu, "This is the Saint Egg King, the world’s top breeder of eggs."

Li Cunxu knew this person; the Saint Egg King had a very peculiar hobby, particularly fond of round things. He even shaved his head to match his preference, and even altered his title to ’Saint Egg King’, originally ’Saint Nurturing King’, which sounds much better.

But he insisted on the change, and not even the Alliance could stop him.

"Secretary Jin neglected to say ’one of’." The Saint Egg King touched his reflective head, looking at Li Cunxu, "Have you decided which sacred beast to contract?"

The secretary answered for Li Cunxu, "He has decided, the Holy Panda egg." 𝙛𝓻𝒆𝓮𝒘𝙚𝙗𝒏𝙤𝙫𝓮𝒍.𝓬𝒐𝙢

The Saint Egg King said, "You can’t select the Holy Panda egg; it was chosen last month. I apologize, the Holy Pandas are really in high demand."

Li Cunxu understood.

Because Holy Pandas are indeed in high demand, and besides, their numbers are very scarce.

Currently, there are only two hundred sixty-six Holy Pandas.

Li Cunxu asked, "Can I replace the egg with an infant?"

The Saint Egg King replied, "Yes."

The Saint Egg King led Li Cunxu to a small world of bamboo forests within the first Breeding Ground.

The small world was densely packed with bamboo, lush and vibrant.

Walking through the bamboo forest didn’t take long before stumbling upon a set of statues placed among the bamboos.

The statues depicted the forms of evolved Holy Pandas.

Looking at the oddly postured statues of pandas hugging bamboo, gnawing iron, boxing... Jiang Lingyun mumbled softly.

"What peculiar sculptures."

With keen ears, the Saint Egg King retorted, "They’re not peculiar! Each one represents an evolution path for the Holy Panda."

Jiang Lingyun counted the statues, five in total, and exclaimed:

"These Holy Pandas have five evolution paths?"

"Yes."

The Saint Egg King pointed at the panda statue holding a giant bamboo and said, "The Wood-type Bamboo-hugging Panda can rapidly summon mighty bamboo dragons to fend off enemies, boasting incredible endurance. As long as it isn’t lethally struck in one blow, it can fight all day."

The Saint Egg King then pointed to the second panda statue holding a chunk of iron and eating it, saying: "The Metal-type Iron-eating Panda has a talent for consuming iron, enabling it to absorb precious metals to enhance its defensive and offensive power, making it a pet beast with comprehensive growth potential."

Becoming increasingly enthusiastic as he spoke, the Saint Egg King eagerly introduced Jiang Lingyun to the third boxing panda statue.

"This is the Martial-type Strong Fist Panda, gifted in martial arts with extraordinary strength, often able to take down opponents with a single blow."

Then there was the fourth panda statue, striking a classic Tai Chi Boxing pose.

"This is the Tai Chi Panda, also Martial-type, equally talented in martial arts, but unlike the Strong Fist Panda, its punches are very gentle, leaning more toward using minimal force to deflect greater force, leveraging the opponent’s force against them."

The fifth panda statue was more peculiar than the previous four.

The fifth panda statue, cloaked and fists clenched, posed as if soaring into the sky, resembling a superhero. Adding a pair of red underpants like a classic superhero would complete the look.

Jiang Lingyun asked, "What about this last one?"

The Saint Egg King replied, "This one is the most extraordinary, regarded as the strongest evolution form of the Holy Panda, named ’Justice Panda,’ capable of overwhelming Bamboo-hugging, Iron-eating, Strong Fist, and Tai Chi Pandas of the same level."

Jiang Lingyun said, "Since the Justice Panda is the strongest, why don’t all Holy Pandas evolve into this form instead of any other?"

The Saint Egg King waggled his finger, "NONONO, not all Holy Pandas can evolve into a Justice Panda. Only those with the legendary talent [Justice Divine Heart] can become a Justice Panda."

Jiang Lingyun said to Li Cunxu, "Boss, let’s pick a Holy Panda with the Justice Divine Heart talent."

Li Cunxu smiled without saying a word.

Selecting a Holy Panda with the Justice Divine Heart talent was an impossibility.

For every hundred Holy Pandas, only one may be born with the Justice Divine Heart; they’re extremely rare.

Currently, only two Holy Pandas with the Justice Divine Heart talent exist, both already contracted by others.

Even if a third Justice Divine Heart Holy Panda miraculously emerged, it wouldn’t go to Li Cunxu.

Though he was the champion of the Golden Tournament, there were many past champions, all holding onto their egg selection rights, waiting to compete for a Justice Divine Heart Holy Panda.

Besides the Golden Tournament champions, Overlord Tournament champions also had sacred egg selection rights, and they too had their sights set on the prize, along with some Kings who had achieved significant accomplishments.
