Chapter 1051: Gene testing (two-in-one)

Qingbao’s expression was calm.

Qiao Sang understood Xiao Xunbao’s meaning, coughed, and repeated the key Point:

“This move will return a large amount of damage from the last received move to the opponent.”

It meant that if they switched opponents, Qingbao was low-level and fragile, unable to withstand the damage.

“Xunxun…”

Xiao Xunbao understood. Looking at Qingbao’s small size, it had a pang of conscience and shifted its gaze to Steel Treasure.

At the same time, the surrounding translucent Barrier disappeared.

“Steel Sword.”

Steel Treasure received Xiao Xunbao’s gaze and, without hesitation, flapped its wings forward with force.

Xiao Xunbao activated its energy, and a black light flickered on its body.

Two sharp blades condensed from air attacked in the direction where Xiao Xunbao was located.

“Bang!”

With a loud bang, amidst the explosive air currents, a black beam of light whistled out, striking Steel Treasure with an unavoidable posture.

“Steel Sword…”

Steel Treasure flapped its wings once, completely unharmed, but its gaze towards Xiao Xunbao held a hint of confusion.

It seemed that the amount of damage caused by the opponent was simply amplified. When this skill’s level increased in the future, the returned damage should be even stronger… Steel Treasure was also smart; knowing that damage would be returned, it controlled the force of its attack… Qiao Sang had a slight Point in her heart, then thought of something and looked at Steel Treasure, deliberately asking:

“When Xiao Xunbao was attacked just now, did you also feel pain?”

“Steel Sword.”

Steel Treasure nodded, indicating that was correct.

“Xunxun?”

Xiao Xunbao showed a confused expression, not quite understanding.

It was attacked, why would its subordinate feel pain?

Qiao Sang explained with a smile:

“It’s the Mutual Demise characteristic. Only with the Mutual Demise characteristic will the opponent also feel pain when you take damage.”

“Steel Sword.”

Steel Treasure showed an expression of “so that’s how it is.”

“Xunxun…”

Xiao Xunbao was first stunned, then calmly called out.

So it was the Mutual Demise characteristic…

Half a minute later.

The Therapeutic Sound Wave effect disappeared.

“Xun!”

“Xun!”

Xiao Xunbao excitedly floated around in the sky.

Mutual Demise!

Mutual Demise!

It had awakened the Mutual Demise characteristic!

It seems that after Xiao Xunbao evolved into a king-level, the effect duration of Therapeutic Sound Wave on it has shortened a lot… Qiao Sang thought to herself.

“Xunxun…”

Suddenly, Xiao Xunbao thought of something and looked at Tooth Treasure, puffing out its chest.

That gaze was like that of an office worker who had just won the first prize in the lottery, and happened to see their boss passing by, looking at the boss.

“Yaya?”

Tooth Treasure was inexplicably stared at.

“Steel Sword.”

At this moment, Steel Treasure flew over, lowered its voice, and kindly called out, indicating not to forget that Tooth Treasure has Raging Flames.

“Xunxun…”

Xiao Xunbao quickly re-managed its expression and grinned at Tooth Treasure.

Tooth Treasure: “…”

It had heard everything.

However, Tooth Treasure didn’t mind; it was always very tolerant of its companions.

“Let’s try your other characteristic,” Qiao Sang said.

“Xun!”

Xiao Xunbao raised its paw, striking a “wait a moment” pose.

“What’s wrong?” Qiao Sang asked.

“Xun~”

Xiao Xunbao called out, indicating that it felt it wasn’t very proficient with the Mutual Demise characteristic yet and wanted to try it again.

As it spoke, it looked at Dew Treasure with an eager expression.

“Ice Emperor.”

Dew Treasure understood Xiao Xunbao’s gaze and began to emit visible cold air from its body.

“Xun~”

This time, Xiao Xunbao felt no fear whatsoever; instead, it adopted a ready-to-fight stance.

Seeing this, Qiao Sang coughed and said:

“I forgot to mention, the Mutual Demise characteristic cannot be continuously activated. You just activated it once on Steel Treasure. I don’t know if it will work this time, but that’s fine. We can try how many times it can be continuously activated at most.”

“Xun!”

Upon hearing this, Xiao Xunbao’s body stiffened. It quickly called out, indicating that it was not appropriate and that it was more important to first see what other new characteristics and skills it had awakened.

I knew it… Qiao Sang controlled the smile at the corner of her mouth and said:

“Nightmare characteristic. It can cause damage to opponents in a sleeping state. You can use Hypnosis in conjunction with this characteristic.”

She had learned more about this characteristic later. Generally speaking, causing damage to an opponent in a sleeping state would wake them up, but Nightmare would not.

This characteristic would cause the sleeping target to be in a nightmare, causing mental damage, yet making it difficult for them to wake up.

If a Pet with the Nightmare characteristic also possessed Hypnosis and did not actively control the dream, the target’s dream would automatically become a nightmare, causing damage.

It could be said that it was an automatic damage-increasing buff added to Hypnosis.

“Xun~”

Xiao Xunbao’s eyes lit up upon hearing this, and it immediately wanted to try it.

“Steel Sword.”

To prevent its boss from making the same jokes as the previous two times, Steel Treasure volunteered and called out, indicating that it could help with the experiment.

“Xun~”

Xiao Xunbao patted Steel Treasure’s wing, indicating its gratitude, and then its eyes glowed purple.

Steel Treasure’s eyes slowly closed, falling into a sleeping state and dropping downwards.

A shadow suddenly shot out from the ground where it was falling, lifting Steel Treasure and gently placing it on the ground.

Qiao Sang, Tooth Treasure, and the others gathered around Steel Treasure, looking down.

“Steel Sword…”

Steel Treasure’s expression was strained, and it was talking in its sleep, as if it had already fallen into a nightmare.

At the same time, Qiao Sang’s head suddenly ached, as if a needle had been inserted.

She subconsciously clutched her head, hunched over like a shrimp, and said with difficulty:

“Quick, quick, wake Steel Treasure up!”

“Xun!”

Xiao Xunbao was startled when it saw its Yu Beast Master’s appearance. It quickly stuck out its tongue and gave Steel Treasure’s face a fierce lick.

“Steel Sword…”

Steel Treasure slowly woke up, opening its eyes.

“Hoo…”

Qiao Sang’s headache disappeared, and she exhaled with relief.

She almost forgot that Steel Treasure’s strength lay in its physical defense, not mental defense, and the Nightmare characteristic caused mental damage.

Dew Treasure said nothing, but silently made the gem on its forehead emit a ghostly blue light, illuminating both Qiao Sang and Steel Treasure.

Qiao Sang and Steel Treasure’s brows simultaneously relaxed.

“Yaya?”

Tooth Treasure looked at Steel Treasure and curiously called out, asking what it had dreamed about.

“Steel Sword…”

Steel Treasure was silent for two seconds, then called out, indicating that it had dreamed of not meeting them when it was on Super Dormant Star.

It dreamed that it found the place where that human worked.

But its Yu Beast Master was not there this time.

It stayed on Super Dormant Star.

This turned out to be a nightmare for Steel Treasure… Qiao Sang felt a surge of emotion and an inexplicable pang of heartache after hearing this.

Steel Treasure looked at its Yu Beast Master.

Their eyes met, full of emotion.

“Yaya…”

In this touching atmosphere, Tooth Treasure sighed and called out, indicating that it could dream so much in such a short time…

Qiao Sang: “…”

Steel Treasure: “…”

“Xunxun?”

Xiao Xunbao called out with a face full of anticipation, asking if it had awakened any other skills.

Qiao Sang looked at it and said seriously:

“Shadow Penetration.”

Shadow Penetration? Xiao Xunbao was stunned for a moment, then its eyes suddenly lit up.

“Xunxun?”

Qiao Sang smiled:

“That’s right, it’s the move the Witch Secret Demon used last time in Lost Town.”

“Xun!”

Xiao Xunbao excitedly floated around in the air several times, then showed a serious expression and began to activate its energy.

The next second, a black hole with a diameter of over one meter appeared out of thin air in front of it.

Xiao Xunbao looked at the black hole, put its claws on its hips, and laughed up at the sky:

“Xun Xun Xun…”

…

Seven in the evening.

Living room.

Qiao Sang was eating at the dining table.

Tooth Treasure and the others were also eating Energy Pills nearby.

Mi Jiala appeared out of thin air in the living room. She quickly scanned the room and asked:

“Where is Night Ring King?”

Qiao Sang was used to this and said calmly: “It’s training outside.”

Mi Jiala was a little surprised:

“It’s still so diligent? Hasn’t the Change Clothes Totem already been captured?”

Qiao Sang said helplessly:

“It really likes the characteristics and skills it awakened after this evolution, so it wants to quickly improve the proficiency of these characteristics and skills.”

Although her tone was helpless, it still contained a clear smile.

To be honest, she originally thought she would have to constantly urge Xiao Xunbao to train like before, but she didn’t expect Xiao Xunbao to practice diligently on its own.

This feeling was like a student suddenly finding a subject they were interested in and diligently studying it even during their free time.

She felt very gratified.

Mi Jiala came to the seat opposite Qiao Sang, pulled out a chair, and asked:

“Do you already know all the new characteristics and skills that Night Ring King has awakened?”

Qiao Sang hummed and recounted Xiao Xunbao’s characteristics and skills.

Mi Jiala was silent for a long time, then asked:

“Can Night Ring King successfully use all these skills already?”

After spending more than half a year with Qiao Sang, her tolerance had greatly increased. Even when she heard “Shadow Penetration,” no matter how shocked she was internally, she remained outwardly calm.

Qiao Sang said modestly:

“It still needs a lot more practice.”

As soon as she finished speaking, a black hole appeared out of thin air above the dining table. Most of Xiao Xunbao’s body emerged from it. It picked up a tree fruit from the table, grinned at its Yu Beast Master, and then burrowed back in.

The black hole disappeared.

The living room fell silent.

A few seconds later, Mi Jiala said somewhat distractedly:

“Night Ring King’s Shadow Penetration is already so proficient…”

Qiao Sang chuckled:

“It’s been practicing most of the day today.”

Do you think that under normal circumstances, half a day’s practice could bring a newly awakened Ultra-level skill to this level? No, under normal circumstances, Ultra-level skills cannot even be successfully used… Mi Jiala took a deep breath, calmed her emotions, and remembered the important matter, saying:

“I contacted Teacher Daliya for you. Tomorrow, you can go to her to test Xiaoting Dragon’s genes.”

Upon hearing this, Qiao Sang’s first thought was: One hundred Point per test.

Her second thought was: The dean just gave her ten thousand Point, so one hundred Point wasn’t impossible to spend.

To be honest, with her Gold Finger, whether a Pet was pure-blooded or not was actually no longer that important.

Just as Qiao Sang was about to speak, Mi Jiala continued:

“Don’t refuse. I know you don’t care whether your Pet is pure-blooded or not, but don’t forget, your goal is the Interstellar Cup.”

Qiao Sang was silent for a moment, then nodded and said:

“I understand.”

At the same time, the Pet egg on the desk in the room slightly shook.

Mi Jiala finished her business and quickly left.

Qiao Sang finished eating and cleared the table.

Suddenly, a strange Typhoon blew through the living room.

Qiao Sang’s ponytail flew.

She realized something and looked at Qingbao in the center of the Typhoon.

The formerly calm Qingbao was staring intently at Xiao Xunbao, who was training outside.

It seemed the effect of Therapeutic Sound Wave had worn off… Qiao Sang instantly understood.

She was a little surprised, not expecting Qingbao to still be bothered by this after such a long time.

Generally speaking, people and Pets with bad tempers would get angrier the more they thought about it after Therapeutic Sound Wave, while those with good tempers would just let bygones be bygones.

She had always thought Qingbao would be the latter.

Qiao Sang called out:

“Qingbao.”

“Qingqing?”

Qingbao turned its head and called out obediently, but the Typhoon around it clearly indicated that its heart was still very agitated.

Qiao Sang hesitated: “You…”

Qingbao seemed to realize what its Yu Beast Master was about to say, and its body stiffened.

“Are you in a bad mood?” Qiao Sang asked.

“Qingqing.”

Qingbao was stunned for a moment, then nodded honestly.

As it nodded, the Typhoon around it lessened slightly.

“Is it because Xiao Xunbao wanted to use you as a training target earlier?” Qiao Sang asked again.

“Qingqing…”

Qingbao showed a wronged expression and nodded again.

It looked down on me.

“That’s because Xiao Xunbao knows you’ll go easiest on it.” Qiao Sang lied through her teeth: “It’s been training with Tooth Treasure and the others these past two days. If it really looked down on you, and it was just about consuming energy in a battle training, it would definitely choose you, but it didn’t.”

“Qingqing…”

Qingbao was stunned for a moment, and the Typhoon around it paused.

So that’s how it is…

“Of course.” Qiao Sang nodded very affirmatively.

“Qingqing…”

The Typhoon around Qingbao completely dissipated.

Seeing this, Qiao Sang secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

Ever since Qingbao evolved and gained memory inheritance, its temper had grown, but fortunately, it was still very easy to coax…

Steel Treasure silently glanced at its Yu Beast Master.

Qiao Sang finished clearing the dining table and returned to her room.

Qingbao glanced in the direction of the room, then silently transformed into Wind Transformation and arrived at the outdoor training ground.

Its Yu Beast Master had too much of a filter for Xiao Xunbao. She couldn’t even see this, that it knew it would go easiest on it; it clearly looked down on its attack power.

A strong Typhoon raged on the outdoor training ground.

Qingbao looked at Xiao Xunbao, who was training, with dissatisfaction.

Blow you to death, blow you to death…

“Xun~”

Xiao Xunbao’s golden braids fluttered as it happily moved through and appeared from black holes, appearing and disappearing, seemingly completely unaffected by the surrounding Typhoon.

…

The next day.

Early morning.

Qiao Sang quickly washed up, ate breakfast, first went to a nearby pharmacy to buy ten bottles of stimulant potion, and then waited for Teacher Mi Jiala. Holding the Pet egg, she went with her to Imperial Beast Academy and arrived at a gene testing room.

The door to the gene testing room was ajar. In front of various instruments stood a young lady in a white lab coat, with brown hair tied in a low ponytail.

She heard footsteps approaching, looked up, and smiled:

“You’re here. If you’re testing genes, please pay the Point first.”
