Chapter 278: Light snow

“Is that how we’re training?”

Qiao Sang’s face broke into a smile. Even though Ice Dew Qiya was incredibly aloof after evolving, she was still quite easy to trick, wasn’t she?

“Once Ya finishes this Mars Rain training session, we’ll continue with what we did last time,” Qiao Sang said.

The Crushed Stone Barrage method had good training effects, and for the current stage, they could definitely continue with it.

“Lu Lu!”

Ice Dew Qiya shook her head. She could train by herself; she didn’t need Ya’s help with training!

Qiao Sang’s expression froze. Although Little Qunbao could also help with the Crushed Stone Barrage method, if Ice Dew Qiya was always unwilling to interact with Ya, it would definitely affect team cohesion in the long run.

This wouldn’t do…

Qiao Sang pondered for a moment, then squatted down and asked, “Do you want to become stronger than Ya?”

Ya, who was performing Mars Rain not far away, perked up her ears.

“Lu.”

Ice Dew Qiya flicked her tail and lifted her head slightly, indicating that becoming stronger than Ya was only a matter of time.

“Qun…”

Little Qunbao looked at Ice Dew Qiya, who was about the same size as herself, then looked at Ya’s mighty and imposing body, and secretly shook her head.

With this physique, how could she compare to Big Sister Ya…

“Ya.”

Ya, who had just finished performing Mars Rain, cast an admiring gaze at Little Qunbao.

This little sister, she had good taste.

Qiao Sang mercilessly revealed the current situation: “To be honest, it’s very difficult for you to become stronger than Ya.”

“Ya!”

Ya heard this, proudly puffed out her chest, and let out a cry, instantly releasing an Energy Ball larger than the previous ones.

If Qiao Sang were to look at the yu beast codex now, she would find that the Mars Rain data for Ya had increased by two points.

“Lu!”

Ice Dew Qiya suddenly became a bit emotional. She felt that her Yu Beast Master had no taste at all!

“However,” Qiao Sang continued, “your attribute just happens to counter Ya, so with serious effort, it’s not impossible to surpass her.”

“Lu!”

Ice Dew Qiya’s eyes lit up, and she wagged her tail. She decided to retract her previous words; her Yu Beast Master’s taste was still very good!

“But,” Qiao Sang changed the subject, “as things stand, it’s a bit difficult. You don’t even know what Ya’s current strength is like, so how can you talk about becoming stronger than her? Have you forgotten how you lost ten out of ten battles against Ya?”

“Lu…”

Ice Dew Qiya’s expression stiffened.

“There’s a saying that goes, ‘Know yourself and your enemy, and you will never be defeated,’” Qiao Sang continued.

“Lu?”

Ice Dew Qiya, who hadn’t gone to school, indicated that she didn’t understand.

“It means you need to understand Ya to defeat her,” Qiao Sang explained. “If you don’t train with Ya now, you won’t understand her strength, and you won’t know how much you need to work to possibly defeat her.”

“Lu…”

Ice Dew Qiya showed a thoughtful expression.

Seeing that she had laid enough groundwork, Qiao Sang finally stated her ultimate goal: “So you need to interact more with Ya, and it’s best if you train together.”

In her opinion, Ice Dew Qiya seeing Ya as a competitor was not bad news.

Firstly, Ya was both strong and hardworking. If Ice Dew Qiya aimed to be like Ya, Qiao Sang wouldn’t have to worry about her training motivation at all.

Of course, for Ice Dew Qiya to defeat Ya, it was almost impossible as things stood. The attribute counter could only increase the chances of winning to a certain extent; it couldn’t play a decisive role.

Besides, Ya had Superpower System attributes in addition to Fire.

Most importantly, Ya had Shadow Clone and had already reached the perfected realm. The increase in proficiency for various skills was definitely something Ice Dew Qiya couldn’t catch up to.

As long as Ice Dew Qiya clearly understood Ya’s strength, she would most likely choose to increase her training volume.

Secondly, Ya and Ice Dew Qiya were companions after all. Even if they were like water and fire, spending time together would deepen their bond. Ice Dew Qiya’s previous affection for Ya was the best proof.

As for heartbreak… Ice Dew Qiya’s heartbreak was inexplicable, and Ya hadn’t done anything outrageous at that time. With the passage of time, this experience should be forgotten, so it wasn’t a big problem.

The more Qiao Sang thought about it, the more she felt her analysis made sense.

“Lu…”

Ice Dew Qiya fell into a fierce internal struggle.

On one hand, she didn’t want to train with Ya, but on the other hand, she felt that her Yu Beast Master made a lot of sense.

Ice Dew Qiya couldn’t help but look at Ya, and found that Ya was looking at her with a face full of fighting spirit.

“Ya!”

Ya’s eyes were filled with defiance and fighting spirit.

She had heard everything her Yu Beast Master said just now. This guy might be stronger than her? How was that possible? Even if they trained together all day, allowing this guy to understand her in every aspect, she would never be able to defeat her!

“Lu Lu!”

Ice Dew Qiya understood Ya’s implied meaning from her eyes.

She also showed an expression full of fighting spirit.

She tricked her and still looked down on her! Scumbag!

Under the stimulation of Ya’s gaze, Ice Dew Qiya finally nodded and agreed to train with Ya.

Her Yu Beast Master was right; to defeat Ya, she needed to understand her strength in every aspect!

Five minutes later, looking at the crushed stones flying everywhere, Ice Dew Qiya thoroughly felt Ya’s strength.

In the original Crushed Stone Barrage method, Ya would use her Shadow Clone to practice Mars Rain while using her main body to control the crushed stones.

Due to the dispersion of energy, the number of controlled crushed stones was naturally not large.

But this time, Ya no longer used her Shadow Clone to train Mars Rain, but instead used her main body to concentrate all her energy on using Superpower.

The number of crushed stones directly increased severalfold.

“Lu!”

Ice Dew Qiya awkwardly dodged the crushed stones.

As soon as she dodged one, several others rushed towards her, forcing Ice Dew Qiya to grit her teeth and speed up, breaking through her usual limits.

Potential is sometimes forced out this way.

However, Ice Dew Qiya ultimately couldn’t exert her full strength on land, and with too many crushed stones, even after breaking through her usual speed limit, several crushed stones still hit her body.

“Use Fine Snow!” Qiao Sang shouted in time.

“Lu!”

Ice Dew Qiya immediately dodged the crushed stones while pursing her lips and blowing out white snow crystals.

The surrounding crushed stones instantly froze and fell down.

Qiao Sang nodded with satisfaction. Fine Snow was a basic Ice skill and didn’t consume much energy. If Ice Dew Qiya could improve her Fine Snow proficiency while also training her basic physical qualities, it could directly increase training efficiency several times over.

…

Evening.

It was time for bed.

Ya closed her eyes for a moment, then opened them, pouted, then closed them again, and finally opened them again.

“Ya Ya!”

Finally, Ya couldn’t help it and turned to Qiao Sang, who was playing on her phone, and let out a wronged cry.

“Do you really think that Ice Dew Qiya will be able to surpass me in the future?!”

She forgot that Ya’s ears were very keen. It seemed that what she said in the afternoon was heard, no wonder the crushed stones controlled during training were several times more than the previous time… Qiao Sang put down her phone and looked at Ya seriously: “I can’t be sure about that. No one can say what will happen in the future, but I only said that in the afternoon to motivate Ice Dew Qiya to train. In my heart, you will absolutely not be caught up by a Pet weaker than you.”

“Qun.”

Little Qunbao, who was learning how to use a computer, nodded in agreement.

“Ya~”

Ya instantly became happy and closed her eyes contentedly.

In less than a minute, she fell asleep, grinning foolishly, not knowing what kind of beautiful dream she was having.
