Difference

[[Cultivation-link] Host's Innate skill and Cultivation will be linked to each other. The higher the host's cultivation, the more and stronger beasts the host can tame.]

His newly obtained skill allowed his cultivation and Innate skill to build a link, connecting each other.

According to its description, Shane would be able to increase the number of beasts he could tame by increasing his cultivation while the same applied to the strength of the beasts that he wanted to tame.

He didn't know the exact formula to calculate the limitations behind his newly obtained ability but it was entirely different when compared to the normal Taming skill.

Every normal skill and technique was divided into the grading Mortal→Tier 1-3→Blessed 1-3 and so on, while further segmented into their qualities that ranged from Bronze to Mythic.

Both the grade and quality were important to determine how many beasts one could tame and how strong they could be at most.

With a [Mortal-(Bronze)] Taming skill one could barely tame a single Low-Wild beast while a higher quality meant one would be able to tame stronger beasts.

Possessing a higher graded skill, one was more likely to be able to tame two beasts. But this was not possible with [bronze] quality, and one required at least a [gold] quality taming skill.

Not only were the requirements for higher-grade taming skills more difficult to accomplish but it was also said that taming two beasts below the Master stage was the most one would be able to do.

Shane didn't know how many beasts someone at a higher stage could tame. But, he was sure of the fact that a Tier-3 skill wouldn't be enough to tame 3 beasts while their strength had to be weaker than the skill-wielder.

With the [Tamer] occupation everything would change slightly, but for Shane, it seemed like his Innate Skill was more powerful.

These limiting strength factors also included beasts that evolved, even though there were some slight differences.

If a beast was stronger than the capacity of one's skill, the bond between the tamed beast and the tamer would either be severed or one would receive heavy setbacks.

Loyalty was very important in this case.

If a tamed beast loved its tamer and didn't want to leave him/her, it would restrict its strength, giving the tamer some time to adjust their capabilities so as to fit each other.

Such tamed beasts wouldn't follow every instruction because they would have regained full control over themselves.

However, if their loyalty was extremely high, they would even sacrifice themselves for their tamer.

In the beginning, Shane thought that his Innate Skill would be roughly the same, with the sole difference that he would receive a higher boost in terms of tameable beasts and strength with every quality rank his skill rose up.

Receiving additional effects like the [Growth boost], [Quality enhancement], [Affinity amplification], and even unlocking the [Quality-Upgrading], was extremely beneficial. To top it all now he even obtained the [Cultivation-link], which heightened his future potential even more.

Comparing himself with normal tamers without the corresponding occupations, Shane was already miles apart from them. Even someone with the 0-Star occupation [Apprentice Tamer] or 1-Star occupation [Tamer], wouldn't receive as many benefits as he had already obtained without having a 0-Star occupation, even if one disregarded the quality of the occupation.

Occupations were ranked from 0-Star to 5-Star and each enhancement in rank would upgrade the occupation's amplification and inherited skills by a large margin, while the quality described how strong the occupation is on the same star rating.

The qualities were further divided into bronze, silver, gold, platinum, diamond, and mythic.

Once an occupation had been picked it couldn't be changed easily.

As such, it was important to pick an occupation with high quality because the quality of an occupation couldn't be changed later, at least humanity had never seen such a case in the last two centuries.

Increasing the star rating of occupation was not particularly difficult at the first two stars because one only had to fulfill the requirements and acquire certain items.

Most humans that fought against beasts had at least a silver quality occupation, while other humans picked occupations that helped them earn more income like lifestyle occupations.

Some tried to figure out ways to fulfill hidden requirements in order to obtain occupations of a higher quality.

There were too many benefits one could gain with a high-quality occupation but wasting too much time on fulfilling unknown requirements would result in wasted cultivation talent, which would slow down the older one became without reaching a higher stage, and degrade other aspects of their overall strength compared to their peers.

One had to get the perfect timing or end up weaker compared to others.

Artisans, for example, were also highly demanded, and having a bronze occupation like blacksmith, alchemist and so on would increase the chances to produce better products.

In the end, even farmer occupations were highly sought out, because the crops they grew and looked after were highly nutritious and more filling than normal plants.

As such, almost everyone picked an occupation suitable to their tastes. In the end, mankind worked together to act as a single individual, like many other races, in order to prosper and become stronger.

Black sheep could be found everywhere but most humans worked together to receive more benefits through the Primordial dimension. They used the systems' support in order to survive and fulfill their desire to accomplish something great.

Shane could be said to belong to a similar category but because of his transmigration from earth, where he had always heard from all kinds of fairy tales about heroes, he always dreamed to be someone great even though it was only a fantasy.

This universe was far more dangerous than earth, and a single mistake within the Primordial Dimension could mean his death.

Being stronger than your opponent was the most important trait. Shane didn't want to end up like he did on earth, shot to death by a poacher, without being able to do anything at all.

The black shroud around Umbra finally dissipated and Shane could take a glance at his tamed beast.

It seemed as if Umbra's size had increased to around 44 centimeters in length while the width of his body was slightly more than 3 centimeters in diameter.

His scales seemed tougher and they gleamed faintly.

Umbra looked at Shane happily and hissed joyously at him. Shane noticed that his tamed beast's fangs seemed to have been reinforced because they looked sharper.

Staring at Umbra, Shane could also feel that his little shadow snake's gaze had turned sharper, it was more like a predator's gaze instead of a cute pet's.

Overall Shane concluded that Umbra was already stronger than most matured Shadow-snakes, even those at the peak of the 3rd Wild stage due to the high-quality Umbra possessed.

Smiling brightly, Shane decided to take a look at the upgrade function to figure out how much funds he had to accumulate to upgrade Umbra's quality into [Extraordinary]. This would help him select the most perfect path for his tamed beast to evolve in the future.

But what he saw was rather confusing, which made his jaw drop to the ground where it would remain for the time being.
