Beast Taming: I Can Bestow Entries-Chapter 227: Bullet Time

"Senior Jiang Yun, can I take the other Nostalgia Rice Dumplings with me?"

Chen Mo asked.

He made a total of 5 Nostalgia Rice Dumplings this time. Apart from the legendary-quality one at the center, the other four were all of Epic Level 7 or above. As the original food for the Time Rice Dumpling Spirit, they could provide a notable boost to the newly advanced Tuantuan.

"Of course."

Jiang Yun replied gently with a smile.

"Ying!" (Thank you~)

After expressing gratitude to Jiang Yun’s three Food Spirits, Tuantuan adorably jumped into the steamer, gobbling down the remaining four Nostalgia Rice Dumplings in just a few bites.

"Ying~"

After eating, Tuantuan let out a satisfied burp.

Small, cute, but with a hearty appetite.

After absorbing the Food Spirit energy from the four Epic Nostalgia Rice Dumplings, Tuantuan’s growth level in the food attribute rose to Commander Second Rank.

The growth level in the time attribute soared by an entire major level, reaching Transcendent Third Stage.

The higher the growth level of the Spiritual Beast, the faster it can absorb and digest Spiritual Power.

Therefore, when the growth level of one attribute in a dual-attribute or multi-attribute Spiritual Beast breaks through, the other attribute’s growth speed will also improve significantly.

It’s somewhat akin to the concept of "the wealthy leading the less wealthy."

After saying goodbye to Chef God Jiang Yun, Chen Mo buried the Heart of the Sea at the foot of the mountain and then brought his Spiritual Beast into it.

"Tuantuan, try out the new techniques you’ve mastered after evolving."

Chen Mo instructed.

He was quite curious about the effects of the time-based techniques.

"Ying!"

The Time Rice Dumpling Spirit nodded, its head swaying adorably with the dumpling leaves on top.

"Let’s try Bullet Time first."

"Ying!"

Tuantuan attempted to mobilize the time-based Spiritual Power within its body for the first time. Soon, the three golden particles surrounding the Time Rice Dumpling Spirit burst forth with dazzling radiance.

Instantly, Chen Mo felt as if both his mind and body were slowed down to an extreme, as if a movie had been paused.

However, this sensation only lasted for about two seconds before Chen Mo felt normal again.

The light emitted by the three golden particles around Tuantuan dimmed significantly.

In just two seconds, the Spiritual Power within the time attribute Crystal Core was completely depleted.

Bullet Time, a high-level technique of the time attribute.

This technique can infinitely slow down time within a designated area, making it almost come to a standstill. (It does not affect the user.)

Currently, the area covered by Tuantuan’s Bullet Time is less than a square meter, and its duration is also very short, only affecting Transcendent Rank Spiritual Beasts for about 2 seconds, while Commander Rank Spiritual Beasts could likely break free instantly.

Nevertheless, it’s still a divine skill that can prove incredibly useful in certain situations.

"Ying!"

Tuantuan seemed excited.

It suddenly thought of using this technique in conjunction with its dark culinary attacks.

Previously, when it used dark culinary attacks against opponents, they often chose to dodge or directly destroy the dark cuisine.

But now, if it combines them with [Bullet Time], how would they react?

From launch to delivery into the opponent’s mouth, a true one-stop service!

"Feasible!"

Chen Mo nodded in approval.

In any case, this technique holds limitless potential.

Following that, Tuantuan conducted a simple test of the other two techniques.

Restoration, another high-level time-based technique, allows food to revert to its original state, becoming the initial ingredients again.

This technique is extremely practical and... cost-effective!

If a dish turns out unsatisfactory, or the quality-boosting entry is not triggered, Tuantuan can revert the finished dish back to ingredients and retry.

With Tuantuan’s current strength, it can only restore food of rare quality or below. It cannot restore exquisite-quality foods.

Moreover, there might be a slight decrease in the quality of ingredients after restoration.

However, as Tuantuan’s time attribute growth level and technique proficiency increase, it will be able to repeatedly refine the cuisine until perfection is achieved!

The last technique is called [Time Dust], a high-level time-based technique. Tuantuan can conjure a breath-like torrent of time, causing objects or creatures hit by it to age or deteriorate at multiple times the normal speed.

The speed of aging depends on the power disparity between the two parties. If used on ordinary furniture, it can instantly turn them into dust.

If used on Commander Rank Spirit Beasts, even if Tuantuan drains all the Spiritual Power from its Crystal Core, it might only cause the opponent to age by a few days. freewёbnoνel.com

This skill is devastating against some older Spiritual Beasts!

"As expected of the time attribute, each skill’s effect is more extraordinary than the last."

After watching Tuantuan’s demonstration, Chen Mo couldn’t help but exclaim.

"Ying?"

Tuantuan inquired whether to reveal the evolution method of the Time Rice Dumpling Spirit.

"Better not."

After some thought, Chen Mo shook his head.

He decided not to publish the evolution plan for the eighth form of the Time Rice Dumpling Spirit of the Glutinous Rice Ball Spirit online.

Because other than gaining some fame, there was no substantial benefit.

His fame was already great enough, and Chen Mo would rather remain a "nobody." If he went shopping or dining on Bluestar now, he would have to disguise as a [passerby].

Unlike other Spirit Beasts, Food Spirits can only be obtained by Spirit Chefs infusing their beliefs into food, not through purchase or capture.

In the terminology of cultivation novels, Food Spirits actually carry each Spirit Chef’s "Tao."

Currently, the number of Glutinous Rice Ball Spirits across Dongxia is extremely limited, not exceeding 50.

More importantly — only with the aid of a legendary-quality Nostalgia Rice Dumpling can one evolve into a Time Rice Dumpling Spirit, possessing the time attribute.

Creating a legendary-quality Nostalgia Rice Dumpling is almost impossible for ordinary Spiritual Masters.

Even if Chen Mo disclosed the evolution plan, no Spiritual Master could replicate it.

So, in a sense, the Time Rice Dumpling Spirit is essentially Tuantuan’s exclusive evolution form.

After roughly testing the new techniques Tuantuan had mastered, Chen Mo made another batch of Nostalgia Rice Dumplings, had Tuantuan use "Preservation" on them, and sent them to Sister Meng.

He then began contemplating how to complete the monthly entry challenge for this month.

[Undead Knight]

It requires taming a Commander Rank Undead type spiritual beast using one’s own abilities.

From a literal understanding, taming doesn’t necessarily mean capturing; it merely involves using one’s personality and charm to conquer it.

"I wonder if there’s a pastry that Undead type spiritual beasts like."

Chen Mo’s first thought was to conquer through food.

He began sifting through the pastry recipes in his mind and actually found two pretty good Undead cuisines — Undead Bread and Ghost Toast.

These are delicacies from the Spirit Realm Western Continent, originally used in rituals for the deceased.

Although they’re called bread and toast, they are vastly different from bread in the traditional sense.

Firstly, the way to "consume" them is unique. Instead of eating them directly, Undead Spiritual Beasts must use their Soul Fire to ignite them and then inhale the resultant "Soul Smoke."

Secondly, they don’t serve to satiate hunger. The effect of Undead Bread is more akin to catnip, making Undead type spiritual beasts exuberant.

"Well then, it’s decided to be you!"
