Chapter 1004: Steel Chief Kane (Two in One)

Without special gestures, Dark Shadow Control can be used. This way, future uses of this move will be imperceptible, and the success rate of connecting or binding an opponent’s shadow will be much higher. It’s wonderful… Qiao Sang looked at Xiao Xunbao, and for the Nth time, the thought that it was a pity it didn’t go to school welled up in her heart.

In such a short time watching the competition, it had already figured out how to use Dark Shadow Control without special gestures. If it were to seriously go to school, that would be incredible…

“Xiao Xunbao…”

Xiao Xunbao felt its Yu Beast Master’s gaze, and its heart suddenly tightened, inexplicably having a bad premonition.

This look, it couldn’t be that it thought it was too smart and wanted it to go to school, right…

Xiao Xunbao quietly stepped back, pretending to turn its head casually to avoid its Yu Beast Master’s gaze.

Qiao Sang opened her mouth and said:

“Amazing, did you figure this out yourself?”

“Xiao Xunbao~”

“Xiao Xunbao~”

Upon hearing the word “amazing,” Xiao Xunbao became energetic again and babbled on, explaining in detail how it came up with this move and the process of learning it.

Steel Treasure listened from the side, its eyes gradually filling with admiration.

At this moment, it truly felt that its boss was smart, a different kind of smart from itself.

Suddenly, its Yu Beast Master’s voice rang in its mind:

“You also think it’s very suitable for school, right?”

School? It is indeed quite suitable… Steel Treasure glanced at Xiao Xunbao, who was getting more and more excited and gesticulating wildly, and replied in its mind:

“Steel Sword.”

Isn’t school for humans? I just think it’s smart.

Boss, I can only help you this much… Steel Treasure thought.

Qiao Sang quietly glanced at Steel Treasure and replied in her head:

“I think you’re pretty smart too. How about you go to school with Xiao Xunbao then?”

Steel Treasure: “…”

It would eventually have to train its bond power to achieve an automatic shielding effect…

“Steel Sword.” Steel Treasure responded meekly in its mind.

No, I’m not as smart as it is.

Qiao Sang couldn’t help but smile, the corners of her mouth turning up.

To be honest, it was only after the temporary bond evolution today that she discovered Steel Treasure’s thoughts were so active.

Steel Treasure: “…”

Ya Bao listened intently to Xiao Xunbao from the side.

“Ya Ya!”

When Ya Bao had heard enough, it turned to its Yu Beast Master, wagging its tail, and cried out with anticipation:

“Ya Ya?”

Can it also use skills like Mars Rain without moving?

Qiao Sang spoke mercilessly:

“No.”

“Ya Ya…”

Ya Bao’s tail instantly drooped.

“Xiao Xunbao…”

Xiao Xunbao patted Ya Bao’s back, as if to comfort it.

Seeing this, Qiao Sang said seriously: “Xiao Xunbao’s Dark Shadow is different in style from your skills. The less noticeable the way Dark Shadow is used, the better. But for you, it doesn’t matter. Even if the opponent watches your movements and guesses the skill you’re about to use, what does it matter? The most important thing is that they can’t withstand it.”

“Ya Ya!”

Upon hearing this, Ya Bao felt it made sense and perked up again.

Xiao Xunbao quietly removed its paw from Ya Bao’s back.

Qing Bao watched this scene from the side and found it very interesting, unable to help but cover its mouth and chuckle.

Xiao Xunbao turned to look at it.

“Qing Qing.”

Qing Bao blinked its pure eyes and smiled sweetly at it.

“Xiao Xunbao…”

Xiao Xunbao looked at Qing Bao’s smile, feeling a bit ashamed.

How could it have thought that the fifth sibling was laughing at it just now…

It shouldn’t have thought that about the fifth sibling…

…

Eleven ten PM.

Qiao Sang simply washed up, lay on the bed, closed her eyes, and habitually entered the yu beast codex before bed to take a look.

The pages flipped quickly. When she saw that the name on Steel Treasure’s page was still Steel Sword Falcon, she suddenly remembered something, and all her sleepiness vanished. She opened her eyes and looked at Steel Treasure by the window.

Steel Treasure felt its Yu Beast Master’s movement and turned its head.

However, it was stunned. It actually couldn’t sense what its Yu Beast Master was thinking now.

“Are you sleepy?” Qiao Sang glanced at Ya Bao and Qing Bao sleeping on the bed and asked softly.

“Steel Sword.” Steel Treasure shook its head.

To be honest, it had just gotten a little stronger today and was too happy to sleep.

Qiao Sang smiled and said:

“Then let’s go to the training room now to test your evolved form and see if you can evolve at will as desired.”

Tianwang Hotel provides dedicated training grounds, and privacy is very well maintained, so they won’t be easily disturbed.

The semifinals and finals were close, happening tomorrow. Qiao Sang had originally planned to train well during her rest period, but Teacher Mi Jiala mentioned:

“Sometimes, getting good rest before a match might have a better effect. You need to trust the accumulation you and Yan Jiaoou have made during your usual training.”

So she really let Ya Bao and the others rest, while she herself kept researching Yuan Tianlong’s information, forgetting to let Steel Treasure temporarily evolve to check its information.

Of course, except for Xiao Xunbao, Ya Bao and the others later couldn’t resist their training spirit and still went to the indoor training ground for a bit of training.

“Steel Sword.”

Steel Treasure nodded.

Just as it raised its wings, it then thought of something and called out inquiringly:

“Steel Sword?”

Have you already learned to shield your thoughts?

Qiao Sang was stunned: “No.”

“Steel Sword?” Steel Treasure raised its confusion.

Then why couldn’t I suddenly sense what you were thinking just now?

Qiao Sang was stunned, then suddenly realized something, and her expression became strange. She asked in return:

“When did you suddenly not sense my thoughts?”

“Steel Sword.”

Steel Treasure thought for a moment, then called out, indicating it was about three minutes ago.

Qiao Sang asked again:

“Do you usually not sense my thoughts at this time before I go to bed?”

Steel Treasure nodded, then called out:

“Steel Sword.”

Don’t you usually clear your mind before sleeping?

After a pause, it suddenly remembered that it had never paid attention to whether it could perceive its Yu Beast Master’s thoughts before. Recently, its Yu Beast Master’s thoughts seemed to be flooding in too much, which was why it felt a slight discomfort at not being able to sense its Yu Beast Master’s thoughts.

It was clearly like this sometimes before…

Qiao Sang: “…”

It seemed that Steel Treasure had no idea about her thoughts while she was looking at the yu beast codex…

Qiao Sang looked at Steel Treasure and said, word for word:

“I wasn’t clearing my mind, I was looking at the yu beast codex.”

If Steel Treasure’s future evolution path was all about bond power, then she didn’t want any reservations on her part to hinder the bond between her and Steel Treasure.

“Steel Sword.”

Steel Treasure could sense that its Yu Beast Master was telling the truth. It called out, indicating that it turned out she didn’t clear her mind before sleeping.

It had heard of the yu beast codex. It was said that humans were able to form contracts with those races and control them because of the yu beast codex.

Qiao Sang stared at Steel Treasure and continued:

“My yu beast codex is a bit special. It displays your information, so I always go in and look at it before bed.”

As she spoke, she pondered:

“Perhaps it’s because of its special nature that whenever I’m thinking about things related to the yu beast codex, you can’t sense it.”

“Steel Sword…”

Steel Treasure stared blankly at its Yu Beast Master.

It had heard about the importance of the yu beast codex to humans. Was it really okay to tell it such a significant difference…

Qiao Sang sensed Steel Treasure’s thoughts and said with a smile:

“It’s okay, aren’t we the best partners?”

Steel Treasure looked at its Yu Beast Master in front of it, and a warm current surged in its heart, feeling as if another power was inexplicably rising.

“Xiao Xunbao!”

“Xiao Xunbao!”

Xiao Xunbao, having heard the conversation, raised its paw.

It heard it too!

Qiao Sang looked at it and smiled:

“It’s okay that you heard it too.”

To be honest, if it were when she first formed a contract, even during the initial stage of contracting with Ya Bao, she had never thought that she would tell this secret to her Pet.

But now, even with Qing Bao, her most recent contract, she felt there was nothing that couldn’t be said.

It had to be said that her current self had undergone a significant change in mindset compared to when she first arrived in the Yu Beast society.

She had already come to regard Ya Bao and the others as inseparable companions.

“Xiao Xunbao~”

Xiao Xunbao happily floated in a circle.

Although it didn’t know what was so particularly important about what its Yu Beast Master said, it felt that these words seemed extraordinary in the eyes of its Yu Beast Master and its younger brother. It felt trusted by its Yu Beast Master.

“Steel Sword.”

At this moment, Steel Treasure called out, indicating that they should go try the bond evolution.

After speaking, it flew towards the training room.

So shy and moved… Qiao Sang sensed Steel Treasure’s mood, and seeing that it looked no different from its usual state, she smiled, got out of bed, put on her shoes, and followed.

“Xiao Xunbao!”

Xiao Xunbao called out from behind, quickly following.

Wait for it!

The training room in the presidential suite was constructed from special materials, providing both sound insulation and durability. However, it usually only supported ordinary training, and skills with greater destructive power were not suitable for use inside.

To avoid waking Ya Bao and the others, Qiao Sang entered, closed the training room door, and then spoke:

“Let’s begin.”

“Steel Sword.”

Steel Treasure nodded, then lay on the ground, its body glowing with dazzling white light.

The height of the training room was not twenty meters, but its length was.

“Xiao Xunbao…”

Xiao Xunbao watched the white light on Steel Treasure’s body from the side, unable to help but show an envious expression.

When the white light on Steel Treasure’s body dissipated, its appearance had greatly changed, becoming its King-level form.

Its body slowly shrank, and it stood up.

At the same time, Qiao Sang sat on the nearby resting chair, closing her eyes, her consciousness entering the yu beast codex.

The pages turned, and soon came to the page about Steel Treasure.

The Sharpness ability became S… Qiao Sang was delighted at this. This ability was too practical. Whether it was Steel Wing, Air Blade, or Steel Treasure’s most commonly used Wing Blade, it could help increase its cutting and tearing power.

She looked down.

There were two more abilities: Unyielding Shield and Pressure.

There was nothing much to say about Pressure. It could release a king’s aura, and Xiao Xunbao and Qing Bao both had it…

Speaking of which, she felt that among the five Pets, Ya Bao was actually the most suitable to awaken this ability, yet it hadn’t.

However, it was understandable. Pressure was not an easy ability to awaken.

Xiao Xunbao was an odd color, possibly carrying royal blood in its lineage.

Qing Bao, needless to say, came with an inheritance and was a future divine beast.

Steel Treasure probably had a body size far exceeding that of Pets of the same rank… No, it felt more likely that it always had a desire to help its own species. If it hadn’t formed a contract with her, it would definitely be leading a group of younger siblings, becoming the leader of the Little Steel Falcon species in a certain area…

Qiao Sang reined in her thoughts and looked at the other new ability.

Unyielding Shield…

This ability was quite rare. She wondered how it would feel in battle. Steel Treasure’s defense at the King level was already strong enough even without this ability… Qiao Sang recalled how Steel Treasure had been struck by lightning after evolving in today’s match, and she felt no pain.

She looked at the skill list.

Three more skills were added.

Iron Tail, a high-level Steel-type skill, uses a hard tail to strike the opponent, causing damage.

Cannon Light Cannon, a high-level Steel-type skill, gathers light from the body at one point and releases it, causing a powerful attack and sometimes lowering the opponent’s defense.

This move was good. When she participated in the competition on Super Dormant Star, she encountered a Steel Dragon, and it had used this move.

Qiao Sang still remembered the power of that move now.

She looked down at the last skill.

Steel Beam…
