Chapter 1219: How to know if you don’t try (two in one)

It actually still had the strength to counterattack… Qiao Sang’s heart stirred as she watched Thunder Dragon emerge from the ice shell.

Perhaps Thunder Dragon’s defense was even higher than she had imagined.

“Thunder Dragon!”

As the ice shell shattered, Thunder Dragon roared.

The remaining three Pets’ expressions changed slightly, and they all unleashed their skills.

Green blades, white ice lines, and yellow electric arcs once again concentrated their attack.

The attack speed of these skills was nothing normally, but for the current Thunder Dragon, there was no strength left to dodge.

Can’t lose… Thunder Dragon recalled the Point task assigned by her Yu Beast Master, and a fierce expression appeared on its face.

Suddenly, crackling yellow electric arcs appeared on its body, concentrating and striking forward.

In mid-air, the electric arcs suddenly split into three, striking the three Pets not far away.

The yellow lightning forked so unexpectedly that the three Pets had no time to dodge and were struck by the shocking lightning.

With a loud “boom,” the three Pets cried out in agony.

At the same time, the green blades, white ice lines, and yellow electric arcs concentrated their attack on Thunder Dragon’s body.

“Thunder Dragon!”

Amidst the explosion, Thunder Dragon cried out in pain and was sent flying backward.

It fell to the ground almost simultaneously with the other three Pets.

No one stood up again.

The surroundings were momentarily quiet, then a noisy clamor erupted.

A Pet wearing a referee’s badge stepped forward to check.

When it came to Thunder Dragon, Thunder Dragon’s tail suddenly twitched, and then its head lifted, its vision almost blurry as it looked at the three fallen Pets in the distance.

Seeing this, the Pet wearing the referee’s badge showed a look of astonishment, then blew the whistle signaling the end of the match.

The Barrier disappeared.

A virtual panel appeared above Thunder Dragon.

The Point column had conspicuously gained 8 Points at once.

The clamor immediately rose like dust, becoming much noisier than before.

“This Dragon-type Pet Beast is awesome, it actually won!”

“Only it could still move at the end of the fight, if it doesn’t win, who will?”

“I also watched this Dragon-type Pet Beast’s previous match; it was also 1V8, but at that time, it found all electric-type Pets. It clearly has the Lightning Rod characteristic, and its level doesn’t seem low, so it’s not surprising it won. But I really didn’t expect it to win this 1V8 match too.”

“Its Discharge skill must have reached Profound Meaning; one strike directly took out three Pets.”

“Thunder Dragon, Dragon-type plus electric-type, why have I never heard of such a powerful species?”

Thunder Dragon… Qiao Sang quickly walked forward, squatted down, and asked:

“Are you alright?”

“Thunder Dragon…”

Thunder Dragon let out a difficult cry.

Won? Xiao Xunbao, who was feigning unconsciousness, listened to the commotion around it, pretending to just wake up, and opened its eyes.

“Ya Ya!”

Steel Treasure, who had been guarding by its side, showed a surprised expression and cried out.

“Xiao Xunbao…”

Xiao Xunbao gave Steel Treasure a weak smile, indicating that it was fine.

Then it floated to Thunder Dragon’s side, showing an expression of almost weeping with joy, and cried out:

“Xiao Xunbao~”

“You didn’t disappoint me, old six. Boss, I knew you could win.”

“Thunder Dragon…”

Thunder Dragon looked at Xiao Xunbao, forced a smile, then closed its eyes and fainted.

“Xiao Xunbao…”

Xiao Xunbao’s body suddenly stiffened, then it painfully pointed to its throat at its Yu Beast Master, closed its eyes, and also fell over.

Qiao Sang: “…”

Qingyun Na Nai showed an “Oh, here we go again” expression on the side.

“Ya Ya!”

Steel Treasure showed an anxious expression and cried out.

Xiao Xunbao, why did you fall again!

Because Thunder Dragon fell… Qiao Sang inwardly complained, then said:

“Let’s go back first.”

Thunder Dragon’s current condition was no longer suitable for continued combat.

…

Villa, outdoor training ground.

Colored Flower Bud Shalala, who was training, heard the commotion, stopped training, and came to the living room.

As soon as it entered, it saw the injured Thunder Dragon and the closed-eyed Xiao Xunbao.

“Ice Emperor?”

Colored Flower Bud Shalala frowned and cried out, asking what happened.

Without waiting for an answer, the gem on its forehead emitted a faint blue light, simultaneously shining on Xiao Xunbao and Thunder Dragon.

“Thunder Dragon.”

When the faint blue light disappeared, all of Thunder Dragon’s injuries had vanished, and it had recovered its spirits.

But Xiao Xunbao still had its eyes closed.

“Ice Emperor?”

Colored Flower Bud Shalala sensed Xiao Xunbao’s state and immediately knew it was feigning unconsciousness. It couldn’t help but cry out, asking what was wrong with Xiao Xunbao?

“Ya Ya!”

Steel Treasure showed an anxious expression and cried out, indicating that it didn’t know, a Ghost-type Pet had cursed it, but it had already Purified that curse, yet Xiao Xunbao seemed injured and fainted.

“Thunder Dragon!”

Thunder Dragon heard this, also became anxious, and cried out, asking what they should do.

Colored Flower Bud Shalala: “…”

Colored Flower Bud Shalala looked at its Yu Beast Master.

It’s faking it… Qiao Sang opened her mouth and silently told Colored Flower Bud Shalala.

Colored Flower Bud Shalala understood, showed an “I should have known” expression, and returned to the outdoor training ground to continue training.

“Ya Ya!”

“Thunder Dragon!”

Steel Treasure and Thunder Dragon cried out in unison, indicating for it not to leave.

Colored Flower Bud Shalala ignored them.

“Stop shouting.” Qiao Sang said, “I have a way.”

Steel Treasure and Thunder Dragon looked over.

Qiao Sang looked at Steel Treasure.

Steel Treasure understood, plucked a feather from its body, and then poked Xiao Xunbao with it.

“Xiao Xunbao!”

Xiao Xunbao opened its eyes, quickly covered the spot where it was poked, and floated up.

Steel Treasure reinserted the feather into its body, deeply concealing its功与名.

“Ya Ya!”

Steel Treasure cried out in surprise, indicating that Xiao Xunbao had finally woken up.

“Thunder Dragon…”

Thunder Dragon, however, hesitated. It realized that the boss might have been faking it.

“Xiao Xunbao?”

Seeing that it couldn’t keep up the act, Xiao Xunbao secretly glanced at its Yu Beast Master. Seeing its Yu Beast Master staring at it with a half-smile, it showed a confused expression, looked around, and cried out, indicating that it wasn’t supposed to be out competing with its old six, and how did it get back?

“Ya Ya!”

Steel Treasure cried out, indicating that it was cursed and then fainted, so they brought it back.

“Ya Ya!”

After a pause, Steel Treasure cried out again.

But I’ve already Purified your curse, so you should be fine now.

“Xiao Xunbao~”

Xiao Xunbao listened, then showed an “Oh, I see” expression.

After speaking, it stroked its forehead with its paw, showing a “I’m still a bit uncomfortable” look, and floated onto the sofa to lie down.

Qingyun Na Nai rolled its eyes.

Qiao Sang’s mouth twitched, and she said:

“Then you rest well, and make up for today’s three hours of main body training tomorrow.”

“Xiao Xunbao!”

Xiao Xunbao suddenly floated up and cried out, indicating that it suddenly felt like it wasn’t dizzy anymore.

“Then you train now.” Qiao Sang said.

Xiao Xunbao: “…”

“Thunder Dragon?”

At this moment, Thunder Dragon cried out, indicating whether it still had time to compete today.

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

“Yes.”

“Thunder Dragon.”

Thunder Dragon looked at Xiao Xunbao and cried out, indicating that its boss should take it to compete, it still had time to earn Points.

Xiao Xunbao was stunned and couldn’t help but look at its Yu Beast Master.

Qiao Sang was silent for a moment, then nodded at it.

“Xiao Xunbao!”

Xiao Xunbao’s eyes suddenly lit up, and it instantly became energetic, crying out, then its eyes glowed blue.

“Wait.”

Qiao Sang interrupted.

“Xiao Xunbao…”

The blue light in Xiao Xunbao’s eyes faded, and it became nervous, fearing that its Yu Beast Master would change her mind and make it stay for training.

Qiao Sang said:

“Bring the food. You haven’t eaten anything tonight.”

As soon as she finished speaking, Steel Treasure grabbed the bag containing the meal boxes and flew over.

“Xiao Xunbao~”

Xiao Xunbao became energetic again. It cried out, took the bag, its eyes glowed blue, and it disappeared from the spot with Thunder Dragon.

“Qingyun Na Nai.”

Qingyun Na Nai floated over and cried out, indicating that Xiao Xunbao loved to play too much, and perhaps they should let it take its old six out to find opponents in the future.

I think you also want to go out and play… Qiao Sang glanced at it and said:

“No, Xiao Xunbao’s Substitute can perform long-distance training, but your clone cannot. Moreover, Xiao Xunbao has Space Movement and can directly pinpoint its way home, which is more suitable than you.”

“Qingyun Na Nai…”

Qingyun Na Nai couldn’t refute.

Qiao Sang returned to her room, simply washed up, lay half-reclined on the bed, and began to ponder Thunder Dragon’s situation.

Thunder Dragon’s combat talent and potential were clearly higher than she had imagined. Although four of the eight opponents were electric-type, even electric-types would cause some interference under the circumstances of eight opponents, yet Thunder Dragon still won.

Neither its reaction ability nor its defense was like that of a young Pet.

If it could have participated in the competition a few months earlier, even without her command, Thunder Dragon might have been able to win first place on its own…

What a pity…

Perhaps, during its time on Yan Tian Star, Thunder Dragon could freely battle outside like the Pets here…

Qiao Sang reined in her thoughts and began to Meditate cross-legged.

Time passed bit by bit.

12:05 AM.

Xiao Xunbao and Thunder Dragon appeared out of thin air in the living room.

Qiao Sang, who was still Meditating, opened her eyes and came to the living room.

“Thunder Dragon?”

Thunder Dragon looked over, showing a puzzled expression, and cried out, indicating if she hadn’t slept yet.

It remembered that its Yu Beast Master usually slept by this time.

“How could I sleep when you two weren’t back?” Qiao Sang said with a smile, then looked at Xiao Xunbao.

“Xiao Xunbao!”

Xiao Xunbao quickly cried out, indicating that old six’s Points had accumulated to 200 today!

Saying that, it pushed Thunder Dragon, motioning for it to quickly show its Yu Beast Master the Points.

“Thunder Dragon.”

Thunder Dragon opened the Point recorder.

A virtual panel conspicuously appeared above.

“Species: Thunder Dragon”

“Level: Intermediate”

“Points: 248”

“Ranking: 1000+”

It really gained over 200 Points in one night, it didn’t play at all… Qiao Sang sighed inwardly and praised:

“Well done.”

“Thunder Dragon…”

Thunder Dragon weakly collapsed to the ground.

It was indeed well done; it hadn’t rested all night.

“Did you only fight electric-type Pets?” Qiao Sang asked.

“Xiao Xunbao~”

Xiao Xunbao shook its head, spread its paws, sighed, and cried out.

Everyone wanted to sleep at night, so it couldn’t find many electric-type Pets.

“Then how did you accumulate so many Points?” Qiao Sang asked.

“Xiao Xunbao~”

Xiao Xunbao grinned and cried out.

If there were no electric-type Pets, there were still insect-type pet beasts. You said this, to fight insect-type pet beasts.

“Thunder Dragon.”

Thunder Dragon nodded.

There were indeed many insect-type pet beasts.

“How did you get them to agree to battle?” Qiao Sang asked again.

“Xiao Xunbao~”

Xiao Xunbao cried out.

That was too simple; it specifically looked for insect-type pet beasts with low intelligence, and a little Taunt would make them agree.

“Thunder Dragon.”

Thunder Dragon nodded, indicating that it was correct.

Qiao Sang recalled Xiao Xunbao’s Taunt skill and instantly imagined how it stimulated those insect-type pet beasts, then couldn’t help but laugh:

“You worked hard, you two should rest early.”

“Xiao Xunbao~”

Xiao Xunbao wiped away non-existent sweat from its forehead, showing an “It was indeed hard work” expression.

“Thunder Dragon…”

Thunder Dragon lay on the ground, crying out, indicating that it would rest here.

With that, it closed its eyes and soon began to snore evenly.

It really must be exhausted… Qiao Sang tossed the phone in her hand to Xiao Xunbao and said:

“You performed well today; you can play for a while tonight.”

Although Xiao Xunbao spent the day playing with Thunder Dragon, and Thunder Dragon did all the fighting in the evening, Xiao Xunbao accompanied it throughout the entire match. Most importantly, whether it was day or night, Xiao Xunbao’s Substitute had been training in the outdoor field without interruption.

“Xiao Xunbao~”

Xiao Xunbao’s eyes lit up, and it excitedly took the phone.

Seeing this, Qiao Sang smiled and turned to go back to her room.

“Xiao Xunbao~”

Xiao Xunbao happily floated onto the sofa and started playing with the phone.

“Xiao Xunbao…”

At this moment, a resentful voice sounded from the side.

“Xiao Xunbao.”

Xiao Xunbao turned its head and saw its Substitute looking at it resentfully, showing an “I almost forgot about you” expression, and cried out.

The next second, the Substitute disappeared.

…

The next day, early morning.

At the dining table in the living room, Qiao Sang enjoyed the delicious food that Mi Jiala teacher had bought that morning, but her mind was not on the food.

For the past two days, Steel Treasure had been Purifying curses, and she now understood Sacred Fire’s curse-lifting power quite well. If she kept doing curse-lifting tasks, it would be a bit of a waste of time.

Sacred Fire was, after all, an Ultra-level skill; it consumed a lot of energy to cast once. Even practicing Sacred Fire with a clone would take a certain amount of time to reach minor accomplishment.

Perhaps I should just directly use Points to increase Sacred Fire’s proficiency to minor accomplishment and see if it produces a burning sensation and other effects first…

As she was thinking, Mi Jiala asked:

“What did you gain yesterday?”

Qiao Sang reined in her thoughts and said:

“Steel Treasure’s curse-lifting speed has increased significantly; I feel that Sacred Fire’s ability is strengthening.”

Mi Jiala was stunned upon hearing this:

“It’s already made progress?”

Qiao Sang hummed: “That’s how I feel.”

If it didn’t make progress now, it would be hard to say when Sacred Fire produced a burning sensation.

Mi Jiala was silent for a moment, her first thought being:

This skill has only been trained for a few days, and it can already feel progress?

Then her second thought was: This seems reasonable when it comes to Qiao Sang and Steel Treasure…

Mi Jiala quickly accepted the idea that Sacred Fire had progressed, then thought of something and asked:

“What about Thunder Dragon?”

Thunder Dragon continued to eat Energy Pills in large mouthfuls, as if it hadn’t heard that it was being discussed.

“Ah, Thunder Dragon.” Qiao Sang became excited when she spoke of this and immediately recounted Thunder Dragon’s 1-on-8 battle from yesterday in detail.

Thunder Dragon listened with its ears perked up while eating Energy Pills.

This little guy is that amazing? Dragon King glanced at Thunder Dragon.

Qiao Sang, excited by her storytelling, then recounted how Qingyun Na Nai found Xiao Xunbao and Thunder Dragon yesterday.

“Xiao Xunbao?”

Xiao Xunbao showed a shocked expression and looked at Qingyun Na Nai.

You can communicate with the wind?

“Qingyun Na Nai.”

Qingyun Na Nai held its head high, showing an “What’s so difficult about that?” expression.

“You said Qingyun Na Nai can communicate with the wind?” Mi Jiala asked.

Qiao Sang hummed: “Colored Flower Bud Shalala told us this.”

“Colored Flower Bud Shalala.”

Colored Flower Bud Shalala swallowed the food in its mouth and cried out.

Even if it didn’t say anything, Qingyun Na Nai would eventually know it possessed this ability.

“Qingyun Na Nai.”

Qingyun Na Nai sweetly cried out to Colored Flower Bud Shalala.

Colored Flower Bud Shalala returned a smile to Qingyun Na Nai.

Mi Jiala pondered for a moment and said:

“Since Qingyun Na Nai can communicate with the wind, have you thought about finding sun crystal through the wind?”

Finding sun crystal through the wind… Qiao Sang was stunned:

“Is that possible?”

Mi Jiala smiled: “How would you know without trying.” (End of Chapter)
