Magical beasts developing abilities was supposedly a rare occurrence. Compared to cultivators, they had a more instinctive grasp of what they could do, but the Qi demanded technique to achieve true superiority.
If developing martial arts were easy, lone cultivators wouldn't exist. The Guilds and other established forces would simply have no way of monopolizing power.
Liam's lived experience had confirmed that point. He had met few magical beasts wielding special abilities, and they had all been relatively simple.
The level two creature in the Mutated Battlefield had merely turned its cry into a debilitating sound attack. The level three bear had only been capable of speed bursts. Even the first level three toad could only reinforce its skin.
Those abilities were closer to enhancements that every cultivator could summon with Qi alone, just applied to the magical beasts' far greater physical prowess. They were powerful yet simple skills that suited what remained animals in the end.
