Chu Chen looked at the attributes of the Poisonous Explosion Mouse Mother with a disdainful shake of his head. Its quality was as high as Epic Level Upper Grade, but its growth potential was only equivalent to a Beast of Perfect Quality, and its individual combat power was extremely weak.

However, the terrifying aspect of the Poisonous Explosion Mouse Mother lay in its mouse swarm. Only by nurturing the swarm could its true power be unleashed.

Standing by the side, Long Batian smiled and said, "Give the little fellow a name."

Chu Chen nodded at this. The Poisonous Explosion Mouse Mother possessed dual attributes of poison and fire. He initially thought of calling it Poison Explosion, but that seemed too rough.

Then he thought of its talent for super reproduction, which meant it had an extremely strong ability to breed a large number of offspring. There was an old saying in his hometown: more children bring more blessings, so he decided to call it Duo Fu (Many Blessings).

Chu Chen shared his idea, and Long Batian approved of the name, as the meaning of many children being a blessing was universally liked.

The Poisonous Explosion Mouse Mother was also quite pleased, shaking its paws and emitting a "squeak squeak" sound.

With a wave of his hand, Chu Chen placed Duo Fu into his Soul Sea. Having been sealed for many years and just recently hatched, the little fellow was quite weak and not suited for much activity.

Seeing this, Long Batian took out two rings again and said, "These are your rewards from me as your master, the ring on the left is a Beast Taming Ring, with a space inside of about one kilometer, enough to accommodate a hundred thousand mouse swarm. The other is a Spatial Ring, containing some life-saving items. Take good care of them."

Chu Chen quickly waved his hand to refuse, saying, "No, these are too precious, I cannot accept them."

Even without considering the value of the items in the Spatial Ring, the worth of the Beast Taming Ring alone was beyond measure with money.

Long Batian's face immediately turned stern as he replied in a severe tone, "How dare you refuse a gift from your master? Accept it without worries—your master does not lack these things."

Feeling deeply moved, Chu Chen no longer declined and accepted the two rings.

The items Long Batian gifted were indeed things Chu Chen direly needed. Once Duo Fu entered its Growth Stage, he could train a mouse swarm army; without a sufficiently large Beast Taming Equipment, he would be unable to carry the swarm.

After putting on the Beast Taming Ring, Chu Chen checked the contents of the Spatial Ring.

First, he found a meticulously carved wooden box. Opening it carefully, he discovered a palm-sized golden armor inside, though its material was not metal but some unknown substance.

At this moment, Long Batian smiled and explained, "This is called Soul Armor. Once refined, it can be placed within the Soul Sea. If you encounter a Soul Power attack, it provides decent defense, ensuring your Soul Sea remains unharmed."

Chu Chen was utterly shocked to hear this. For him, Soul Armor was something legendary. It was invaluable and unrecorded even in the Wu Family's treasure vault.

Just as Chu Chen was about to refuse, Long Batian gave him a stern look, prompting him to direct a grateful gaze towards the master.

Seeing this, Long Batian nodded with satisfaction and said, "Look at the other gifts. Are you satisfied?"

Chu Chen checked the two other items again.

The second item was three bottles of crystal-clear blood, which Chu Chen recognized at a glance as Cyan Dragon Essence Blood.

The final gift was a hundred premium Starburst Bombs, each with power comparable to a full-strength strike from a King-level Peak Star Beast.

Silently, Chu Chen put away the three gifts, his eyes filled with deep gratitude.

Long Batian had given him so much that he almost wished to divulge the fact that he possessed the Slaughter Atlas, but Chu Chen restrained the impulse.

It wasn't that he didn't trust Long Batian, but the Slaughter Atlas was too significant, tied to his very survival, and secrets of such gravity should remain buried within him.

Nonetheless, Chu Chen thought of a way to repay Long Batian.

"There are three months until the high school exchange competition. I will give you one month off to visit home, but you must travel alone, treating it as training. From the second month, I will assign you trial tasks. Are you agreeable?"

Chu Chen nodded solemnly, realizing there was a hidden message in Long Batian's words.

With the high school exchange competition imminent, granting a month's home visit seemed illogical.

Yet Chu Chen guessed the reasoning: in the coming long period, he would be under intense cultivation, possibly without any time to visit home. Hence, the lengthy home leave was granted.

"Very well, if you have no affairs to attend to, set out early," Long Batian waved his hand.

Chu Chen shook his head and said, "Master, I have been hiding something from you, which makes me feel guilty. Today, I intend to confess."

Long Batian immediately gestured with his hands, saying, "No need. Everyone has their secrets, so long as you have no regrets."

Chu Chen persisted, shaking his head: "This secret of mine could greatly aid you. You have treated me as your own, and I cannot continue to hide it."

Long Batian's expression shifted sharply. He stood up beside Chu Chen and released a thick wave of Soul Power with a sweep of his hand.

After completing this, he said solemnly, "Now you may speak."

In a serious voice, Chu Chen said, "Master, in truth, my awakened talent isn't the Eye of Insight but something of a higher grade, the Eye of Omniscience."

Long Batian frowned slightly, his gaze filled with doubt, clearly unfamiliar with what the Eye of Omniscience was.

But who could blame him, as it was something Chu Chen had fabricated.

"The Eye of Omniscience can view the information of all things, and view the evolution routes and formulas of Guardian Beasts." Chu Chen explained softly.

Hearing this, Long Batian's pupils constricted sharply. He grabbed Chu Chen's shoulders, his voice trembling, "Is this true?"

Chu Chen nodded, replying, "Yes, truly. The high quality of Lei Yao, Nirvana, and Shadow Kill are all thanks to the Eye of Omniscience."

Long Batian's expression shifted to sheer delight. His Realm had long reached the Emperor-level Peak, yet the bottleneck to the Emperor Level was as unyielding as rock, one he couldn't surpass despite much effort.

This situation arose from two factors. First, the bottleneck of the Emperor Level is exceedingly difficult to breach without a significant opportunity, leaving time as the only solution.

Second was the quality of the Guardian Beasts. The higher the Beast's quality, the harder they are to acquire, as High-Quality Beasts have extremely powerful parents.

If the Guardian Beast's quality was high enough that it could reach the Emperor Level before the Beast Master, the Beast Master could attempt to breach the Emperor bottleneck with the Beast's feedback Soul Power.

This action has a great chance of fulfilling the Beast Master's wishes. Even if an Emperor breakthrough was not achieved, he would possess a Guardian Beast with Emperor-level combat power.

This situation is known as pseudo-Emperor level. While pseudo-Emperor, it is a coveted state for all Emperor-level powerhouses, just a step away from the true Emperor level.
