Chapter 1056: Destination, Yantianxing (two in one)

One week later.

Early morning.

Open-air training ground.

High in the sky, Steel Treasure opened its mouth, and black energy instantly covered its fangs.

At the same time, a huge, blurry phantom appeared in front of it, maintaining an open-mouthed posture.

However, the phantom quickly disappeared as if it had never been there.

Steel Treasure opened its mouth and bit into Xiao Xunbao in front of it.

“Xun!”

Xiao Xunbao cried out, showing a pained expression.

Steel Treasure quickly let go.

“Xiao Xunbao~”

Xiao Xunbao teleported next to Lu Bao, who was training, and looked at it pitifully.

Lu Bao glanced at it, the chill on its body dissipated, and the gem on its forehead glowed with a ghostly blue light, illuminating Xiao Xunbao.

A moment later, the ghostly blue light disappeared, and the injuries on Xiao Xunbao’s body had completely vanished.

“Xiao Xunbao~”

Xiao Xunbao cried out gratefully and teleported back in front of Steel Treasure.

Steel Treasure opened its mouth, and black energy once again covered its fangs.

“Xun!”

Xiao Xunbao recalled the pain from before, quickly raised its paw, and cried out, indicating to wait, it had something to say.

“Steel Sword.” Steel Treasure stopped its movements, and the black energy on its fangs dissipated.

“Xiao Xunbao~”

Xiao Xunbao cried out earnestly, indicating that after such a long period of training, it had made significant progress, and now it even had a phantom. It was very pleased and suggested that Steel Treasure could practice by itself from now on.

This meant it would no longer be a sparring partner.

“Steel Sword.” Steel Treasure nodded, having no objections.

Xiao Xunbao breathed a sigh of relief, then remembered something, took off its ring, took out a dull stone from it, and used its psychic power to place it in front of Steel Treasure. Then, it quickly scanned the open-air training ground, finally settling its gaze on Qing Bao.

Now that Steel Treasure had evolved, its trained skills had also become stronger, and its attacks caused noticeable pain. Training the Mutual Demise characteristic with it was too much suffering. Qing Bao was better; no matter how angry it got, it would only blow wind, with no real attacking power. It was perfectly suited for practicing the Mutual Demise characteristic…

Thinking this, Xiao Xunbao couldn’t help but grin, showing a fawning smile, and floated towards Qing Bao.

Dozens of meters away, under the shade of a tree, Mi Jiala, who had witnessed the entire process, spoke:

“Not bad, Steel Sword Falcon has already been able to display the phantom. From now on, with more practice, it should be able to initially master Abyssal Bite.”

No, just now, Abyssal Bite had already appeared in Steel Treasure’s data in the yu beast codex. As long as it used a clone for training, it could reach mastery in one day… Qiao Sang held Xiaoting Dragon and nodded:

“I will supervise it.”

Mi Jiala turned her head to look at Xiaoting Dragon, then suddenly raised her hand and brought it close to it.

Just as she was about three centimeters away, crackling yellow electric arcs suddenly appeared on Xiaoting Dragon’s body.

Mi Jiala retracted her hand, and the yellow electric arcs disappeared.

She extended her hand, and the electric arcs appeared.

She retracted her hand, and the electric arcs disappeared.

She extended her hand, and the electric arcs appeared.

She retracted her hand, and the electric arcs disappeared…

After repeating this several times, Mi Jiala smiled:

“It seems Xiaoting Dragon still doesn’t like me very much.”

During this time, Xiaoting Dragon had always stayed by Qiao Sang’s side, never showing any signs of actively releasing lightning. During this period, Fulaoda also came to help check it twice, and it still didn’t release lightning.

Except for her, whenever she approached, electric arcs would appear on Xiaoting Dragon’s body.

“Teacher, do you have a Dragon-type Pet Beast?” Qiao Sang inquired.

“I have one,” Mi Jiala said.

“Could it be that Xiaoting Dragon doesn’t like the aura from your Dragon-type Pet Beast, which is why it’s like this?” Qiao Sang guessed.

Recently, she had read in books about Dragon-type Pet Beasts that Yu Beast Masters who have contracted Pet Beasts would more or less carry the aura of their contracted Pet Beasts. And most Dragon-type Pet Beasts are arrogant, some particularly unable to tolerate Dragon-type Pet Beasts of other races staying in the same territory as them, even rejecting some Yu Beast Masters who have contracted other Dragon-type Pet Beasts.

“Impossible,” Mi Jiala said without thinking.

“Why?” Qiao Sang asked.

“This type of Dragon-type Pet Beast that rejects other Dragon-type races is only a small portion, and the Dragon-type Pet Beasts they reject are basically those of similar strength to themselves,” Mi Jiala explained:

“Xiaoting Dragon is still just a recently hatched Dragon-type Pet Beast; it’s impossible for it to sense the aura of my contracted Pet Beast.”

So that’s how it is… Qiao Sang felt like she had gained more knowledge.

Xiaoting Dragon looked up and glared at Mi Jiala.

This human, speaking ill of it again.

Mi Jiala felt its gaze and looked at it.

“Xiaoting…”

Xiaoting Dragon glared back, and yellow electric arcs appeared on its body.

Mi Jiala: “???”

No, she shouldn’t have touched it just now, right?

It’s a good thing Steel Treasure’s feedback made her defense strong enough, otherwise, holding Xiaoting Dragon would probably be a dangerous job… Qiao Sang sighed inwardly.

At this moment, her phone vibrated.

Qiao Sang collected her thoughts, took it out for a look, then put it down and said:

“Xiao Xunbao’s items are ready.”

…

An hour later.

Imperial Beast Academy.

Item room.

“Xun!”

Xiao Xunbao, wearing a golden helmet and armor, with its short toes adorned with intricately designed golden rings, and holding a golden shield carved with ornate patterns, excitedly looked at itself in the mirror.

Too handsome!

Simply too handsome!

“Yaya…”

Ya Bao’s mouth hung open, staring blankly at Xiao Xunbao’s glittering golden appearance.

“Ice Emperor…”

Lu Bao poked its head out of the backpack, unusually stunned for a moment.

“Steel Sword…”

Steel Treasure was almost blinded by the dazzling light in front of it and couldn’t help but shield its eyes with its wings.

Qing Bao floated around Xiao Xunbao, curiously extending its paw to tap its helmet, checking its hardness.

“Xiaoting…”

Xiaoting Dragon’s entire vision was filled with the golden light, unable to look away.

Mi Jiala looked at Xiao Xunbao’s new look, quite silent.

Ge Luofu said:

“This is the item I forged for Night Ring King. Although it was originally made based on Ghost Ring King’s physique, I added extended energy stone to it. As long as Night Ring King slightly covers it with energy, this set of armor can extend to fit Night Ring King’s current size, just like a custom fit, with no ill-fitting parts whatsoever.”

Mi Jiala had mentioned to him when Ghost Ring King evolved into Night Ring King.

Ge Luofu continued: “And even if Night Ring King evolves again in the future, it can extend to fit its size at that time.”

“This set of items perfectly meets your requirements: exquisite style, and when worn, it can absorb energy at least ten times faster than usual.”

“I also incorporated some lightweight materials into it, so Night Ring King won’t feel any heaviness when wearing it.”

“As a Ghost-type Pet, Night Ring King has low defense. This shield I made can provide it with excellent defense; it just needs to attach Ghost-type energy to it. The armor works the same way.”

His voice was calm, but it was not difficult to hear a slight hint of pride.

Qiao Sang looked at the glittering golden Xiao Xunbao and hesitated:

“Won’t this be too eye-catching to wear normally?”

“I haven’t finished speaking,” Ge Luofu said calmly:

“Ghost-type Pets have the invisibility characteristic. As long as Night Ring King wishes, it can make the items it’s in contact with invisible.”

As soon as he finished speaking, Xiao Xunbao in front of the mirror did as told, and the dazzling golden armor, rings, and shield on its body instantly disappeared.

However, the next second, the armor and other items reappeared on Xiao Xunbao, and its entire body once again became glittering gold.

“Xun!”

Xiao Xunbao excitedly cried out to Ge Luofu, indicating its satisfaction.

Ge Luofu saw that the items he made were deeply loved by Night Ring King, smiled slightly at it, and then said:

“The shield is mainly for defense during battles. Normally, it can be put away and does not affect energy absorption.”

It can change size according to physique, provide defense and absorb energy, fits Xiao Xunbao’s aesthetic, isn’t heavy to wear normally, and can even be hidden. It truly is a perfect work… Qiao Sang collected her thoughts and sincerely asked:

“May I ask how many points such a perfect work costs?”

Mi Jiala looked over, her mouth twitching slightly.

A perfect work? Ge Luofu was stunned for a moment, then smiled:

“What perfect work is this? It’s just something I made casually.”

Qiao Sang quickly flattered him, saying in an exaggerated tone:

“If something made casually is already this perfect, I can’t imagine the items you’d make if you put your heart into them.”

“Xun!”

Xiao Xunbao nodded repeatedly from the side, expressing agreement.

It genuinely felt that way.

Ge Luofu’s smile widened uncontrollably:

“You child, you have much better taste than the others in Di Class.”

Saying this, he glanced at Mi Jiala.

Mi Jiala: “…”

“Then these points…” Qiao Sang asked.

Ge Luofu said indifferently: “I already said it was made casually, so forget about the points.”

Mi Jiala: “!!!”

Qiao Sang was overjoyed inwardly, but outwardly hesitated:

“That wouldn’t be good.”

“What’s not good about it?” Ge Luofu said magnanimously: “Alright, this set of items was made with 16 grams of ancient nether gold left over. Consider that my manufacturing fee.”

Although ancient nether gold is precious, it’s nothing compared to the points required for a teacher from Imperial Beast Academy to make an item. Qiao Sang understood that the other party wanted her not to feel too burdened, so she immediately said:

“Then thank you, Teacher!”

After a pause, she added:

“If I ever need items made in the future, I will definitely come to you again!”

Ge Luofu laughed heartily, feeling very pleased:

“Just come find me.”

I didn’t expect Ge Luofu, at his age, to still fall for this… Mi Jiala looked at the white-haired old man, her feelings complex.

…

“Xiao Xunbao~”

Coming out of the item room, Xiao Xunbao floated happily in the air, not becoming invisible as it usually did.

The sunlight shone on the golden armor, almost blinding every passerby.

The回头率 (rate of people turning their heads to look) instantly reached one hundred percent.

“Xiaoting…”

Xiaoting Dragon’s gaze constantly followed Xiao Xunbao.

Mi Jiala tried not to look at Xiao Xunbao and said:

“This time, making items for Night Ring King was mainly to not waste ancient nether gold. In the future, when Night Ring King trains or battles, it will still need to take these items off.”

“I understand,” Qiao Sang nodded.

Her goal was the Interstellar Cup. While items were good, if she became dependent on them and was unclear about her own strength without them, it would be bad.

Qiao Sang looked at the road ahead, then suddenly thought of something and said in surprise:

“This doesn’t seem to be the way out of the academy.”

Mi Jiala smiled:

“Now that Steel Sword Falcon has completely evolved into Steel Sword Falcon, and Night Ring King’s items are also completed, it’s time for us to depart.”

Qiao Sang immediately understood that they were on their way to the Di Class area.

The two walked through pebble-paved paths, flowerbeds full of blossoms, and translucent barriers, rounded a fountain, and arrived at the white building where Duo Ji Guai had been.

Mi Jiala formed hand seals.

A massive golden star array suddenly lit up.

A Pet Beast with long, sea-blue curly hair, yellow star hairpins on its temples, a large head, small lower body, and unusually wide palms appeared within the star array.

“Yuan Elf, long time no see,” Qiao Sang greeted it.

“Yuan Yuan.” Yuan Elf cried out, acknowledging her.

“Help her test,” Mi Jiala said directly, not wasting time.

“Yuan Yuan.” Yuan Elf nodded, came in front of Qiao Sang, and tried to place its palm on her hand as it had last time.

However, Qiao Sang was holding Xiaoting Dragon at this moment.

Yuan Elf didn’t hesitate, raised its hand, and placed its palm on the human’s head in front of it.

Qiao Sang: “…”

She didn’t move.

Yuan Elf closed its eyes, and an invisible fluctuation emanated from its palm, rippling around Qiao Sang like water.

After about five seconds, Yuan Elf opened its eyes, put its hands together, opened its mouth, and sprayed out a stream of green gas.

The gas first diffused, then gathered, and finally slowly twisted to form a shape resembling a planetary map.

Is this a planet? Qiao Sang looked at the pattern formed in front of her, somewhat uncertain.

Normally, planets are identified by color, but the current pattern was formed entirely by green gas, so it was naturally green.

But why would Yuan Elf predict a planet as the location?

Could it be that she was going to another planet?

At this moment, Mi Jiala said:

“It’s Yan Tian Star.”

Qiao Sang was stunned: “Yan Tian Star?”

“That’s right,” Mi Jiala nodded.

As she spoke, the green gas dissipated and vanished.

Mi Jiala said calmly:

“Prepare yourself; we’ll depart tomorrow.”

“Tomorrow?” Qiao Sang said in astonishment: “Isn’t that too fast?”

After all, this wasn’t going to another country, but to another planet!

“Do you have anything else you need to do here?” Mi Jiala asked.

Qiao Sang shook her head: “Not really…”

After a pause, she suddenly remembered something and said: “Fulaoda hasn’t made Xiaoting Dragon’s Energy Pill yet.”

“That’s not a critical matter,” Mi Jiala said: “There are Imperial Beast Academy personnel on Yan Tian Star. Fulaoda will transmit the Xiaoting Dragon’s Energy Pill formula, and you can find a Trainer on Yan Tian Star to make it then.”

There are Imperial Beast Academy personnel on Yan Tian Star too… Well, since Imperial Beast Academy personnel can even infiltrate Yu Liandun University on Super Dormant Star and become teachers, it’s probably not strange for them to be on Yan Tian Star either… Qiao Sang pondered for a moment, then nodded:

“I understand.”
