C17 – The Assumption of His Achievent
The Soul Protection’s effect is to consu Soul Power, creating a barrier that wraps around the entire body.
It offers 360-degree defense against all forms of harm, including physical, elental, and spiritual attacks—an all-encompassing shield!
The only drawback is the significant consumption of Soul Power by the user.
Beyond the base cost of casting a Soul Technique, it also depletes Soul Power when neutralizing damage.
The greater the damage it deflects, the more Soul Power it drains.
In the heat of intense combat, a Beastmaster low on Soul Power can quickly beco depleted, struggling to even sustain the presence of their pet.
For Xie Yang, however, this is clearly not an issue.
He glances at his personal panel where the Soul Power figure, a striking 880, stands out prominently.
His Soul Power even surpasses that of so bronze-level Beastmasters.
He is well ahead of his peers.
“This Soul Technique suits
well.”
Xie Yang doesn’t hesitate to choose Soul Protection as his inaugural Soul Technique.
Eager to master it, he imdiately dives into the text.
Within ten minutes, Xie Yang has committed the cultivation thods and techniques of Soul Protection to mory.
He then summons his panel, examining it closely, and is thrilled to discover a new Soul Technique listed.
Soul Protection (Unmastered), requiring 50 achievent points to upgrade.
“Just as I thought, the system does enhance Soul Techniques!”
Xie Yang is filled with elation.
With the system’s assistance, he can swiftly master an array of Soul Techniques without the extensive ti and effort a typical Beastmaster would invest.
Without a second thought, Xie Yang spends 50 achievent points to upgrade his Soul Technique.
The text on the panel updates in a flash.
Soul Protection (Level One), now requiring 100 achievent points for the next upgrade.
Before the joy can fully sink in, a chanical voice announces an achievent in his mind.
Achievent Unlocked!
First Soul Technique: Successfully master any Soul Technique. Earn 100 achievent points (completed, reward pending).
A slight smile plays on Xie Yang’s lips.
He’s begun to discern the patterns of unlocking achievents.
Every action related to beasts, from contracting pets and cultivating Soul Techniques to using pets in battle, ca with corresponding achievents.
Xie Yang had a sudden realization.
“If there are achievents for the number of tis a pet releases a skill, then Soul Techniques should have achievents as well.”
The more Xie Yang pondered, the more it seed to make sense, so he decided to put his theory to the test.
With a re thought, a transparent light barrier shimring faintly materialized from nowhere, encasing him completely.
Despite being as delicate as a cicada’s wing, the barrier exuded an unexpectedly unbreakable essence.
“Basic consumption: 10 Soul Power.”
Xie Yang glanced at his panel, deactivated the Soul Technique, and then cast it once more.
He repeated the cycle.
With his substantial reserve of 880 Soul Power, Xie Yang could perform Soul Protection 88 tis.
His hypothesis was spot on.
Upon the 10th application of Soul Protection, a familiar prompt echoed in his mind.
“Achievent unlocked!”
“Soul Technique (Beginner): You have executed a Soul Technique 10 tis. You’ve earned 100 achievent points and a vial of Soul Replenishing dicine (achievent attained, reward pending collection).”
“I just knew it.”
A smile of satisfaction spread across Xie Yang’s face.
Clearly, both Soul Techniques and pet skills could trigger the system’s achievents.
The description suggested not just a single achievent, but likely a whole series.
By reaching new milestones in casting Soul Techniques, he could unlock subsequent achievents in the series.
Xie Yang was brimming with excitent.
Achievent points were the key to rapidly enhancing one’s strength.
Up until now, Xie Yang had mostly relied on chance to gain these points, unaware of the specific achievents the system might offer.
But now, things were different.
Having confird his suspicions, Xie Yang had a basic strategy for accruing achievent points.
Setting other considerations aside, there was significant potential to delve into the Soul Technique and Pet Skill Achievent series.
Eventually, Xie Yang managed to quell his excitent and returned to studying the Basic Astrology compendium.
After a thorough review, he selected two Soul Techniques to focus on: Soul Arrow and Soul Power Impact.
Both were offensive Soul Techniques. Soul Arrow specialized in single-target attacks, while Soul Power Impact was designed for area attacks. Xie Yang imdiately spent 100 achievent points to upgrade both Soul Techniques to level one. He then used another 100 points to advance Soul Protection to level two. With his Soul Techniques enhanced, he had depleted all his achievent points.

Next, Xie Yang examined the Soul Replenishing dicine he had acquired. This dicine could instantly replenish his entire soul power. “It’s incredibly practical,” he thought, stowing it away with satisfaction. The system’s rewards were indeed excellent. The Soul Replenishing dicine would be a lifesaver in dire situations, its value was beyond question.
He needed to visit the Beastmaster Association to pick up so bounty tasks, which might require him to venture outside the city. Considering this, he chose to postpone the achievent for casting Soul Techniques multiple tis. After informing Bai Tian that he had to leave, Xie Yang exited the school.
Once ho, he dropped off his books and hurried to the Beastmaster Association. Half an hour later, he entered the grand building. The first-floor lobby bustled with activity; Beastmasters huddled in small groups, conversing quietly. Dressed for action and carrying tactical backpacks, they had the look of seasoned adventurers.
Scanning the area, Xie Yang quickly located the self-service kiosks at the back of the lobby. Beastmasters used these machines for mission registration and verification, as well as for browsing and accepting new tasks—streamlining the process considerably.
Xie Yang approached an available kiosk and activated the touchscreen. A myriad of mission options filled the display. As per the Beastmaster Association’s regulations, apprentice Beastmasters like him were limited to apprentice-level missions, with the exception of team-based tasks.
Beyond that, the missions could be broadly categorized into three types: Punitive Expedition Missions, Information-Collecting Missions, and Intelligence Missions.
Punitive Expedition Missions involved hunting ferocious beasts, Information-Collecting Missions required gathering certain materials, and Intelligence Missions entailed investigating the conditions of a specific area or exploring ruins and caves.
While Information-Collecting and Intelligence Missions posed less danger, they were notably ti-consuming.
Conversely, Punitive Expedition Missions were less of a ti commitnt.
Among these, Xie Yang favored the ti-efficient Punitive Expedition Missions, as they allowed him to quickly accumulate the necessary Credit Points.
Once he applied his filter criteria, the list of missions on the electronic screen was significantly reduced.
With renewed focus, Xie Yang ticulously reviewed the remaining options.
