Mo Yuan looked at the card flashing on the table and got up from his bed. He walked over and picked it up, examining the information displayed on it.
’Hmm, now I just need to enter this number on the academy’s website to get my mission details.’
He took out his phone from his storage space and opened the Human Federation Academy’s official website. After navigating to the mission section, he found the search option and entered the number displayed on his card.
The website took a few moments to process his request before a new page appeared.
Mo Yuan looked at the information displayed on the screen.
Human Federation Academy
Special Evaluation
Sovereign Beast Elimination
Target: Voidfang Shadow Panther
Location: Black Mist Forest, Inner Region
Target Realm: Early-Stage Sovereign
Objective: Hunt and eliminate the designated beast. Retrieve its claw as proof of completion within seven days.
Evaluation: Combat ability, judgment, survival skills and ability to complete the mission independently.
Looking at the mission details, Mo Yuan raised his eyebrows.
’Oh? They actually gave a Peak Origin Lord Realm cultivator like me a mission to kill a Sovereign Realm beast?’
He couldn’t help but find it interesting.
The difference between these two realms was enormous. Even reaching the Early Sovereign Realm was a major challenge for most cultivators.
Yet the academy had assigned him a mission to kill an Early-Stage Sovereign beast and he had only seven days to complete it.
’Do they really think I’m that special?’
Mo Yuan couldn’t help but think about the academy’s standards.
No wonder the Human Federation Academy had such a low acceptance rate. Even the entrance missions were this difficult. Ordinary Origin Lord Realm cultivators would probably have no chance of completing such a task.
However, after thinking about it for a moment, a smirk appeared on his face.
’Hehe, for others, this might be a challenging mission but for me...’
He didn’t finish his thought but the smile on his face said everything.
After all, he had already killed a Late-Stage Sovereign Realm beast. An Early-Stage Sovereign beast wasn’t something he needed to fear.
Mo Yuan shifted his attention back to the mission details.
"Voidfang Shadow Panther... Hmm, I’ve never heard of this beast before and what’s this Black Mist Forest Inner Region?"
He muttered to himself before opening the search engine.
"Let’s look it up."
Since the beast’s name contained the word Shadow, Mo Yuan immediately became interested.
’From its name, this beast should have something to do with the Shadow element. Who knows? Maybe I’ll find another good Shadow Talent.’
He quickly searched for the Voidfang Shadow Panther.
Soon, several results appeared. Among them was the official Human Federation Beast Database, a website that recorded information about the different beasts discovered by humanity.
It was almost like an encyclopedia of beasts.
Mo Yuan opened it and entered the beast’s name in the search bar.
A detailed page appeared.
Voidfang Shadow Panther
Element: Shadow Element
Appearance: A gigantic black panther, usually measuring between 30 and 100 metres in length. Its body is covered with dark scales, while purple markings run along its back. It has a pair of deep purple eyes that glow in the darkness....
Known Talents:
Shadow Talent: Superior Grade (Average for Sovereign Realm)Speed Talent: Ultimate Grade (Average for Sovereign Realm)Claw Talent: Superior Grade (Average for Sovereign Realm)Bloodline Talent: Exceptional Grade (Average for Sovereign Realm)Shadow Domain: Exceptional Grade (Average for Sovereign Realm)
Note: Talent information varies greatly depending on the beast’s cultivation realm. Some individuals may possess additional talents. The information above is based on observations of a Mid-Stage Sovereign Realm Voidfang Shadow Panther.
Mo Yuan carefully read through the information.
"Damn! So many good talents!"
His eyes lit up.
He had originally expected the beast to possess a few ordinary talents but the information was much better than he had imagined.
’I can copy its Shadow Talent and improve my own. I already have Ultimate Grade Speed Talent but if I obtain another speed-related talent, I wonder how much faster I’ll become.’
His current Speed Talent already provided him with a twentyfold increase in speed. If he could obtain another suitable talent, his overall speed might improve even further.
He then looked at the remaining talents.
’The Claw Talent isn’t particularly useful to me. As for the Bloodline Talent, I can ignore it for now.’
However, his eyes soon stopped at the final entry.
’Shadow Domain... What exactly is this talent?’
Curiosity filled his mind and he immediately clicked on the dropdown section to read its detailed description.
Shadow Domain
An ability that allows the beast to spread its Shadow Elemental Qi across a certain area, creating a domain under its control.
Main Effects:
Shadow Concealment: The beast can completely conceal its presence within the domain. Even Origin Sense becomes less effective at detecting it. However, stronger spiritual perception can still detect disturbances in the Shadow Elemental Qi. Shadow Movement: The beast can move between shadows almost instantly. It can disappear into one shadow and emerge from another within its domain. Shadow Suppression: The domain interferes with the movement of enemies. Their movements become slower as the surrounding Shadow Elemental Qi presses against their bodies. Enhanced Strength: The beast becomes stronger and faster inside its own domain. Its attacks are also infused with Shadow Elemental Qi, making them harder to defend against.
Note: The above information is based on observations and assumptions. The actual effects and limitations of Shadow Domain may vary between individuals. Please treat this information with caution.
After reading everything, Mo Yuan’s eyes brightened.
"Damn! What an amazing talent!"
He couldn’t help but feel excited.
This talent was practically made for him. He was already cultivating Shadow Elemental Particles and his Shadow Blessing and Shadow Walk talents were also related to the Shadow element.
If he could obtain Shadow Domain as well, his abilities in this aspect would improve considerably.
Although the information was incomplete, even the effects mentioned on the website were enough to show how powerful this talent could be.
’The range and duration should have some limitations but even then, it’s still an incredible ability.’
Mo Yuan leaned back slightly and looked at the talent list again.
’There are so many good talents waiting for me. I just need to copy them and wait for the cooldown to end before pasting them.’
A satisfied smile appeared on his face.
’Hehe, this mission really is a gift delivered right to my doorstep!’
He was already looking forward to meeting the Voidfang Shadow Panther.
However, he still had one more thing to check.
"Now, let’s see what exactly this Black Mist Forest is."
Mo Yuan returned to the search engine and began looking for information about the forest.
After all, knowing his target was important but understanding the place where he would be hunting was equally necessary.
