Chapter 142: ghost ring ghost

Because of her contract, Qiao Sang could sense where Little Treasure Hunting Ghost was.

Liu Yao was different; the visualizer was right at his feet, and when he looked down, he saw a gray-yellow Ghost-type Pet appear in his field of vision, causing his heart to skip a beat.

Fortunately, the Tian Xian Bat’s unpredictable ability had trained his heart to be strong when he was young, so he didn’t lose composure and cry out.

Liu Yao steadied himself, crouched down, and began examining Little Treasure Hunting Ghost.

“Xun~”

Little Treasure Hunting Ghost held out the endoscope with one paw and pointed to his ear with the other.

Although Liu Yao didn’t understand what Treasure Hunting Ghost was saying, as a Trainer, most could tell what a Pet wanted to express through its behavior.

“You don’t need to check your ears,” Liu Yao said.

“Xun…”

Little Treasure Hunting Ghost pouted, his two yellow eyes staring directly at Liu Yao, as if asking why.

Liu Yao’s attention was completely drawn to his eyes at this moment. He said in surprise, “The color of your Treasure Hunting Ghost’s eyes is actually golden yellow.”

Qiao Sang was stunned for a moment and couldn’t help but become nervous: “Is there a problem?”

She naturally knew that normal Treasure Hunting Ghost eyes were medium yellow, but golden yellow also belonged to the yellow spectrum.

The pupil colors of Dragon Kingdom people also varied between black, light brown, and dark brown, which she considered merely a genetic issue. Could it be more complicated than that?

“No problem, I just think the color is quite beautiful,” Liu Yao replied.

Qiao Sang: “…”

She really wanted to say “I’m speechless”!

It’s like when you go for a check-up at the hospital and the doctor looks at you and says one of your organs is a bit different from a normal person’s—it’s really scary, okay?!

Liu Yao examined for a while and then asked, “You’ve trained him very well. Have you thought about his future evolution path?”

Qiao Sang was momentarily stunned. Treasure Hunting Ghost only had one evolution—Treasure Hunting Fairy. However, after Treasure Hunting Fairy, there were two evolution paths.

They were Treasure Hunting Spirit and Ghost Ring Spirit.

To be honest, Qiao Sang had never thought about this issue. Both Treasure Hunting Spirit and Ghost Ring Spirit were High-level Pets, while Little Treasure Hunting Ghost was still a Beginner Pet.

Thinking about this felt too early for her; she felt she should at least wait until Little Treasure Hunting Ghost evolved into Treasure Hunting Fairy and became a Mid-level Pet before considering it.

“I haven’t thought about it yet,” Qiao Sang answered honestly.

“Then you need to start thinking now.” Liu Yao stopped his movements, looked up, and said, “If you want Treasure Hunting Ghost to evolve into Treasure Hunting Spirit later, then there’s nothing to worry about; normal training will suffice. But if you want him to evolve into Ghost Ring Spirit later, you’ll need to start different training plans while he’s still a Treasure Hunting Ghost.”

Qiao Sang truly didn’t know about this.

Most Pet training is in preparation for the next stage of evolution, but she had never heard of needing to prepare across stages so early.

Qiao Sang pondered for a few seconds and asked, “So, if I want him to evolve into Ghost Ring Spirit later, what do I need to do?”

After contracting Treasure Hunting Ghost, she had naturally researched this species comprehensively online.

Although she hadn’t decided whether to evolve him into Treasure Hunting Spirit or Ghost Ring Spirit, it didn’t prevent her from researching both types of Pets.

Treasure Hunting Spirit is a Ghost-type, Evil-type dual-attribute Pet that can evolve naturally as long as enough experience is accumulated.

Ghost Ring Spirit is a Ghost-type Pet. Although it doesn’t have the Evil attribute, it can learn Ghost-type skills more easily than Treasure Hunting Spirit, and there’s a certain chance it will automatically awaken Curse-type skills upon evolving into a Ghost Ring Spirit.

Just like when Fire Fang Dog evolved into Yan Ling Dog and awakened Touch Sense and Illusory Fire.

However, to evolve into a Ghost Ring Spirit, the ring on Treasure Hunting Fairy’s body must first split into two. She wasn’t sure how to do this specifically.

She only knew that the number of Treasure Hunting Fairies evolving into Treasure Hunting Spirits far exceeded that of Ghost Ring Spirits, because the conditions and materials for the latter were much more difficult than for the former.

Comparing these two Pets, Qiao Sang still preferred Ghost Ring Spirit.

Little Treasure Hunting Ghost already had the Superpower System. Skills are about quality, not quantity. Superpower System and Ghost-type skills were already enough for him to learn, so it would be better to evolve into a Ghost Ring Spirit, which could more easily comprehend Ghost-type skills.

Liu Yao wasn’t surprised by Qiao Sang’s choice; Ghost Ring Spirit was much rarer than Treasure Hunting Spirit.

“If you want him to evolve into Ghost Ring Spirit, you’ll need to first teach him Ghost Fire, then use Ghost Fire to forge the ring for a week. Once the ring splits into two, you can use dark nether crystal at night to make him evolve.”

Qiao Sang was a bit confused: “Ghost Fire? Isn’t that a Fire-type skill?”

“That’s why I told you to prepare while he’s still a Treasure Hunting Ghost. Although Treasure Hunting Ghost is a Ghost-type Pet, his ring can absorb materials of different attributes, and he can use the ring as a medium to release Ghost Fire.”

“As he evolves, the ring’s saturation for absorbing energy will also increase. If you wait until he evolves into a Treasure Hunting Fairy to teach him Ghost Fire, the materials needed will be more than just ten times as much,” Liu Yao explained.

Qiao Sang was caught off guard by this wave of knowledge.

She couldn’t help but ask, “Is the ring that powerful? Does that mean he can learn other attribute skills as long as he has enough materials?”

Is Treasure Hunting Ghost’s ring that amazing?! How come she had never heard of it?!

Doesn’t that mean Treasure Hunting Ghost can release all other attribute skills through the ring as a medium?

Roughly speaking, isn’t that an all-attribute Pet?!

Impossible!

If that were true, Treasure Hunting Ghost would be selling like crazy; how could it be that they weren’t selling at all, and Treasure Hunting Ghost had to pitifully rely on himself to scam others?

“You sure can dream,” Liu Yao laughed. “Of course not. The ring absorbing materials of different attributes only extracts the necessary energy to expand the space within it.”

“Ghost Fire is an exception; it inherently contains the Ghost-type, and the materials needed for this were discovered only after long-term research.”

“It’s not just any Fire-type material that can allow him to absorb and form Ghost Fire.”

So that’s it!

Qiao Sang finally understood, but it wasn’t her fault; it was because everything the Vice Principal said was a blind spot in her knowledge…

When the examination was almost done, Liu Yao stood up, went to his desk, picked up a pen, and handwritten two training plans.

Qiao Sang specifically leaned closer to look.

Good, it wasn’t written like an alien script like a doctor’s…

…

Outside the school gate.

Qiao Sang, holding two training plans formulated by an A-level Breeder, went to a nearby Pet training institution.

Pet training institutions can not only comprehensively formulate growth directions for Pets but also create Energy Pills based on material formulas.

Energy Pills perfectly blend all nutritional materials and are convenient to carry.

They can also be tailored to a Pet’s taste, making them the best choice for all energy meals.

Although she had the formula, Qiao Sang had never made them before. If any step went wrong, all the materials would be wasted.

Thinking that professional matters should be handled by professionals, she came here.
