"Winter bear cub, get up and drink your milk!" Through their soul connection, Ji An woke the winter bear cub in his soul domain.
The sound that reverberated in the soul was obviously more useful in waking up the sleeping winter bear cub than the sounds of the outside world.
in addition, after signing a soul contract with the bear cub, Ji An's orders were somewhat binding to the bear.
At least, he did not have to go through the same trouble as Li Ya when it came to waking the bear cub up.
After being summoned, the winter bear cub opened its drowsy eyes.
Before it could fully open its eyes, it could already smell the sweetgrass milk.
The delicious milk was good for nurturing familiar cubs.
It had drunk it a few times at the breeding base back when it had just been born, but the breeding base did not have the financial resources to feed all of its cubs with sweetgrass milk every day.
Drink up," Ji An looked at the winter bear cub, whose nose was almost in his arms, and put the jar of milk on the ground.
The winter bear cub, who had not eaten for several days, held the milk jar with both paws and began to lick the milk happily.
As Ji An silently watched the winter bear cub eat, its information appeared before his eyes.
The information this time was more comprehensive.
[Race]: Winter bear
[Race Level]: Lower Extraordinary
[Evolution Level]: Morphed once
[Energy Level]: 20.3
...
"Hmm?" Looking at the winter bear cub's energy level, Ji An was stunned.
The energy level was a number used to measure the specific strength of a familiar, also known as mana.
The higher the energy level, the stronger the energy in the familiar's body, and the more powerful and lasting the skills that could be cast.
However, the winter bear cub's energy level seemed to be quite abnormal!
Ji An hurriedly flipped through the manual on how to raise winter bears that the breeding base had given him.
On the ninth page, it said, "A bear cub that is half a year old and close to the second Morphing will have an energy level between 6 to 9. Some of the more talented ones can break through 10."
"The winter bear cub's energy level seems to be 20.3, right? But Li Ya said that it's not even half a year old yet!" Ji An was confused.
The winter bear cub's energy level was so different from what was recorded in the manual. Moreover, for a bear cub that had only undergone its first Morphing, the numbers seemed a little too high.
In the end, Ji An was only able to decipher the reason for the winter bear cub's abnormal energy level after analyzing the only skill it currently had.
With his Eye of Insight, the familiar's skill naturally didn't just have a name.
The effects of the skills were also clear.
Under the Eye of Insight, the effect of the Hibernation skill was: Able to quickly recover strength and heal injuries during sleep.
After mastering the skill to a certain extent, it could even accumulate the familiar's strength through hibernation and accelerate its growth.
After mastering it to a higher level, when using Hibernation, an indestructible and immovable layer of ice defense would cover the familiar's body, allowing the familiar to smoothly enter the hibernation state during battle and not be disturbed by external attacks.
The winter bear cub had a mastery value of 200 for Hibernation, which was equivalent to the Proficient realm.
Without a doubt, it fulfilled the requirements of mastering the skill to a certain level.
In other words, according to the skill effects, the winter bear cub could already accumulate strength through hibernation which would accelerate its growth.
Clearly, the winter bear cub's fondness for sleep wasn't because it was lazy.
According to Li Ya, during its growth in the breeding base, there seemed to be nothing strange about it except that it slept more than its peers.
There was an 80-90% chance that the winter bear cub was increasing its strength through hibernation.
Otherwise, there was no way to explain why such a winter bear cub that slept its days away would have an energy level of 20.3.
In other words, the winter bear cub could become stronger by sleeping!
From the looks of it, not only was the winter bear cub not lazy, but it even had a heart that desired improvement!
"So everyone was wrong about you, winter bear cub," Looking at the winter bear cub holding onto the jar of milk and gulping it down, Ji An's eyes couldn't help but light up, "Winter bear cub, hurry up and drink. After you're done, hurry back to the soul domain to sleep. You can only become stronger by sleeping!"
After finishing the milk, the winter bear cub didn't need Ji An's urging at all. It hurriedly went back to the soul domain to "Hibernate".
Ji An, on the other hand, was not sleepy.
After making arrangements for the winter bear cub, it was time for him to study hard.
Even though he now had been officially certified as a beastmaster, he couldn't be considered a true beastmaster at all.
Never mind anything else, just his knowledge of familiars alone was already lacking the necessary systematic understanding.
For example, which publicly acknowledged realm did the winter bear cub's skill potential that exceeded a mystery value of 600 corresponded to? Ji An wasn't even sure of this.
This should be common knowledge that beastmasters had to grasp, which was exactly what he lacked.
He planned to cram some knowledge into his head.
Ji An placed the huge books on the desk, three in total.
They were: Universal Meditation Technique, Theories on the Beastmaster System, and A Detailed Explanation of Familiars' Skills.
He first flipped open A Detailed Explanation of Familiars' Skills.
Time passed by slowly.
Ji An read from noon till night fell.
As the sky gradually darkened, he had roughly read through all three books.
To be honest, Ji An had read and understood many of the contents of the three books.
However, his knowledge was not as complete, comprehensive, and detailed as the books.
As such, he only needed to check and fill in the gaps in the areas he didn't understand, so the process was much faster.
"So it turns out that there are four divine realms and the legendary highest realm above the six realms of skill mastery," Ji An slowly closed the book, A Detailed Explanation of Familiars' Skills.
He finally understood which skill potential realm the winter bear cub's skill potential represented.
For most familiars, the pinnacle of the six realms of skill mastery, the Peak of Perfection realm, was already the limit of skill mastery.
After a familiar had mastered a skill to this level, it could be considered to have developed the skill to its limit, allowing it to unleash the maximum power of the skill.
However, for a small number of gifted familiars, limits were meant to be broken.
Thus the origin of the four divine realms.
The four divine realms included the Divine Mastery realm, Divine Profoundness realm, Divinely Superb realm, and Divinely Wonderful realm!
In the Divinely Wonderful realm, the skill could turn rotten into the magical, and all skills could be evolved into divine skills!
The winter bear cub's skill potential wasn't so ridiculous that it could be naturally upgraded to such an amazing level, but its skills could be cultivated to the Divinely Superb realm naturally, which was only second to the Divinely Wonderful realm.
A mastery value of 800 to 899 corresponded to the Divinely Superb realm. the potential of the winter bear cub's Hibernation skill was 800.
Even though he had thought highly of the winter bear cub's potential, he didn't expect that he had still underestimated it.
According to the explanation in A Detailed Explanation of Familiars' Skills, it was already one in a hundred that an adult lower Extraordinary-level familiar could master a certain skill to the Peak of Perfection realm.
As for those who could master a skill in the Divine Mastery realm, they were one in a thousand.
As for reaching the Divinely Superb realm, that was one in a hundred thousand!
Ji An let out a breath of turbid air and suppressed the shock in his heart. He put down the book in his hand.
After putting down the book, he didn't plan to continue reading.
Instead, he sat cross-legged on his bed and prepared to meditate.
He had roughly read through the book, Universal Meditation Technique, thus was not prepared to start his soul meditation.
Soul meditation was one of the important ways for beastmasters to increase their soul power.
It was the second best method of increasing one's soul power, second only to increasing one's familiar's strength and obtaining power feedback.
In his previous life, Ji An had tried to awaken his soul power through meditation.
The beastmaster he followed had generously imparted her meditation technique to him then.
Unfortunately, Ji An didn't have any soul talent, so even the basics of soul meditation were extremely difficult for him.
However, that had happened many years ago, and Ji An's memory of the meditation techniques was a little fuzzy. That was why he needed to rent the Universal Meditation Technique book to check and fill in the gaps.
After the lights were turned off, Ji An's breathing slowly became rhythmic.
This meant that he had already entered the world of soul meditation.
It was a pity that Ji An's soul talent had not improved with his rebirth.
The efficiency of his soul meditation was still frighteningly low, but after awakening his soul power, every time he meditated, the meditation would still have some effect on the improvement of his soul power.
This gave Ji An some motivation to meditate for cultivation.
