Beast Taming: The Empress Is Shocked After Peeking Into My Future

63 The Dragon’s Reverse Scale

Shen Fei frowned. It seemed like he could only use money to persuade Qian Yu. In order to become stronger, he had to go all out!

Shen Fei gritted his teeth.

“Of course. I won’t let you teach me that for nothing; I’ll pay you. I can give you about 20 million for each skill you teach me.”

The total assets of the Shen family did not even add up to ten million... This would be an investment on his future!

As long as the Three-clawed Golden Dragon could learn powerful new skills, he would be able to earn a lot of money in the future. At that time, it would not be hard to earn 20 million.

“...But I can’t take out that much money at the moment. I’ll pay you two million first, and we’ll talk about the rest later.”

“What?” Upon hearing this. Qian Yu blinked his eyes at Shen Fei, stunned.

Shen Fei’s heartbeat was deafening to him.

‘Crap! As expected, two million is still too little.’

“I made a mistake just now. If the Three-clawed Golden Dragon were to learn a skill from you, I would pay you 4,000,000 Yuan first. After learning it—”

“Alright, alright! You’re just learning a skill from me, what’s with the tuition fees?” Qian Yu laughed heartily. “Come on, let’s see what you can learn.”

After saying this, Qian Yu turned around and walked into the room.

‘He doesn’t want money?... That’s amazing! As expected of a legend! I can save a lot of money then!’

Shen Fei was overjoyed. He quickly followed Qian Yu and entered the Qian family’s residence.

The interior looked much better than the outside. The entire decor was like a traditional oriental garden. Half of the square courtyard in the middle was a huge lotus pond, and it was decorated with tall chrysanthemums.

There were a few golden-red koi fish in the pond, and they bobbed to the surface of the water when they saw people. Everything looked very elegant and calm.

“The interior of our house is not bad, right? My father fell in love with this style when he was visiting another continent on a long voyage, so the house was decorated according to it.”

Qian Yu smiled gently. He then opened a jar beside him, took out a handful of fish food, and sprinkled it over the pond. The koi fish that swam to the surface fought over the food.

“Your father has great taste. It’s very elegant.”

“Right? I think so, too. But the other nobles who visit us don’t like it. They said that it made us look like country bumpkins.”

Upon hearing this, Shen Fei immediately frowned.

“That’s because they don’t know how to appreciate it.” Shallow-minded people would naturally not understand the unique elegance of the oriental style.

“Great minds think alike!” Qian Yu’s regard for Shen Fei immediately turned positive.

“Speaking of which, Shen Fei, what’s the rank of your Three-clawed Golden Dragon?”

“Count rank.”

“Count rank... Let me think...” Qian Yu stroked his chin with one hand and pondered seriously. “If it’s at the Count rank, it can learn about three skills from me: T-Rex Bite, Dragon’s Star-splitting Fury, and Ray of Destruction.”

At this point, Qian Yu’s face revealed a distressed expression. “Actually, if your level was a bit higher, i could teach you even more. You can learn the ones you like first.”

Shen Fei gratefully nodded his head. “Thank you, Senior.”

“But in terms of skills, there’s something i need to clarify.” Qian Yu looked at Shen Fei very seriously. “There are some skills that a Three-clawed Golden Dragon might not have much use for.

“For example, the T-Rex Bite. This skill is specifically designed for T-Rex-type spirit beasts to use. Although other dragon-type spirit beasts can also learn it, the effect is not as great as the T-Rex-type.

At this point, Qian Yu smiled. “After all, there are some special differences between spirit beasts. Tyrannosaur-type spirit beasts have developed upper limbs and can easily catch and bite their prey. But an ancient dragon like the Three-clawed Golden Dragon, an eastern one dragon at that, can’t catch prey like a T-Rex due to its different structure.”

“I see. Thank you for your explanation.” Shen Fei nodded his head.

Since that was the case, he was only left with two skills—Dragon’s Star-splitting Fury and Ray of Destruction. Learning these two skills should be enough.

Qian Yu’s face showed some regret. “I made a similar mistake when I first raised the Elemental Tyrannosaurus. I’d bought a dragon-type skill book at that time. It’s called The Dragon’s Reverse Scale.

“The effect is outstanding. It can make the dragon erect all its scales, sacrificing its defense, but doubling its attack.

“But I overlooked one problem when I bought it. Elemental Tyrannosauruses only have skin, no scales. This skill can only be learned by a dragon with scales. That skill book was only sold for two million. I thought I’d found a treasure! My money...”

Recalling the past, Qian Yu’s face was filled with woe.

Shen Fei’s mouth twitched. The title of the book was The Dragon’s Reverse Scale, so only a dragon with scales could learn it.

However, Qian Yu could not be blamed for this oversight. After all, throughout the history of Beastmasters, there had been only a handful of people who possessed dragon-type spirit beasts. Most of the dragons were like Western dragons—a lizard with wings.

There were very few dragon species with scales like the eastern Dragons.

“The thing is, when I wanted to return the book to the seller, I found out that he had run away after selling the book.” Qian Yu’s face revealed a look of regret. “I don’t have any use for this skill book anyway. Your Three-clawed Golden Dragon has a lot of scales, would you like to take it? But I’m telling you, I didn’t take good care of it over the years, so it might be a little dirty.”

“That’s fine!” Shen Fei was overjoyed.

There was a free skill book that he acquire, there was no need to sweat the little details. A random skill book like this could be sold for tens of millions outside. It did not matter if this book was useful or not, he had already gained a lot!

“Then wait here, I’ll go get it for you.” Qian Yu bent down and yanked a book out from under a table leg. He patted the dirt off it and handed it to Shen Fei.

“It’s a little dirty, I hope you don’t mind...”

“Thank you, Senior!” Shen Fei happily accepted the skill book and flipped through a few pages. This book was only slightly dusty on the surface. In fact, the contents were well-preserved.

“Shen Fei, you should study this skill book once you get home. It’ll definitely be useful in the future. As for the Elemental Tyrannosaurus’ skills, we’ll learn it when you’re ready.”

“I’m ready now. Let’s start.”

Qian Yu nodded... Then his gaze sharpened. He slowly raised his hand, and a huge black storm appeared in the ceiling. The black storm spun slowly, and a huge vortex formed behind Qian Yu.

“Roar!!”

The Elemental Tyrannosaurus suddenly rushed out of the portal and roared.

“Let’s begin.”
