Chapter 551: absolute vacuum

Air Cannon? Qiao Sang’s first thought was of this skill.

But after thinking about it carefully, this move didn’t seem to be the key to winning against Ya Bao, and it hadn’t been mentioned in front of Little Steel Falcon before.

“Are you talking about the move that makes Ya Bao practice holding its breath?” Qiao Sang tentatively asked.

“Steel, steel.”

Little Steel Falcon nodded.

As expected… Qiao Sang smiled and explained, “That’s a characteristic called Air Evacuation, not a skill.”

“Steel, steel.”

Little Steel Falcon’s expression was serious.

Characteristics can also be acquired later, can’t they?

Qiao Sang was stunned. She didn’t expect Little Steel Falcon to know even this.

It is well known that Pet characteristics are almost all innate. Except for possibly awakening new characteristics after evolution, it is rare for Pets to stimulate characteristics without evolving.

But rare doesn’t mean non-existent.

Ya Bao’s Raging Flames characteristic was stimulated later.

Some Yu Beast Masters often make various attempts to stimulate the characteristics they want.

She once saw online that a Yu Beast Master, in order to stimulate the Intimidate characteristic of their Burning Fire Dog, would fight people every day, letting it roar first at the beginning of the battle, trying to intimidate the opponent, and slowly cultivating the Burning Fire Dog’s confidence and aura.

Over time, even when not fighting, the Burning Fire Dog would arrogantly roar at unfamiliar Pets it saw on the roadside.

One time, the Burning Fire Dog roared at a small snake-like Pet passing by on the street.

The next second, that snake-like Pet’s body grew to about 13 meters in size, then it flicked its tail, directly sending the Burning Fire Dog flying to another street.

When its Yu Beast Master found it, they unexpectedly discovered that the Burning Fire Dog had actually stimulated the Cowardice characteristic.

The Cowardice characteristic, although its name sounds a bit cowardly, is very practical. Pets with this characteristic will have their speed increased when attacked by Dark-type, Ghost-type, and Bug-type moves.

If it encounters a Pet with the Intimidate characteristic and is affected, its speed will also increase.

This incident once made it to the hot search in the Yuhua region.

The Yu Beast Master was proud of this and published their views and experiences on various platforms, becoming a small internet celebrity with hundreds of thousands of followers.

Later, many netizens followed suit, but none of them managed to stimulate the Cowardice characteristic in their Pets.

Unlike skills, characteristics primarily depend on whether the Pet has talent in that area. If it has, it has; if not, it doesn’t. It won’t be stimulated by throwing money, resources, or targeted training.

Moreover, there are significant differences between characteristics. For rare characteristics like Air Evacuation, which can completely be used as High Level skills, the possibility of stimulating them through acquired effort is almost zero.

Qiao Sang asked, “Why do you suddenly want to stimulate this characteristic?”

“Steel, steel.”

Little Steel Falcon flapped its wings and explained.

To become stronger, one must naturally aim to surpass the strongest opponent, and Ya Bao is its current goal.

“Ice Ke?”

Lu Bao, who had been closing its eyes nearby, suddenly opened them, showing an expression of “What are you talking about?”.

You’re still not asleep… Qiao Sang quickly appeased it, “Steel Treasure just arrived, isn’t it? It hasn’t seen your strength yet.”

“Steel, steel.”

Little Steel Falcon immediately understood the situation and nodded in cooperation.

“Ice Ke.”

Lu Bao seemed to have taken it in, closing its eyes again, but the next second it opened them again, got up, and started training in the living room.

Qiao Sang: “…”

“Steel, steel…”

Little Steel Falcon showed an expression of “I didn’t know things would turn out like this either.”

“It’s okay, Lu Bao often trains late at night.” Qiao Sang finished speaking, then paused, and said bluntly:

“The characteristic you’re talking about is Air Evacuation. I currently have no clue about stimulating characteristics, but I will go and ask others. To be honest, this characteristic usually only appears in Pets of High Level and above. You shouldn’t have too high hopes. The most important thing right now is to first train Iron Wall to the minor completion level.”

“Steel, steel.”

Little Steel Falcon nodded, indicating it understood.

That being said, after Qiao Sang finished her practice problems, she still went online to check how to stimulate Air Evacuation.

She quickly scanned through, and what was displayed were introductions to Air Evacuation, and what species of Pets were likely to possess this characteristic, but no one discussed how to stimulate it.

Qiao Sang had a feeling of ‘as expected’.

Everyone would only marvel at Pets with certain characteristics, but they wouldn’t immediately think about how their own Pet would be if it had it. It’s completely unlike skills; if they see a Pet of the same species or attribute use a suitable or powerful skill, they’ll want their own Pet to practice it too.

Suddenly, an idea flashed through her mind:

Are there any skills with the same effect as Air Evacuation?

She had been doing a lot of practice problems recently, so she had learned more knowledge points. Characteristics are an important feature of Pets.

Some Pets with characteristics like “Rain Prayer,” “Snowfall,” “Great Sunny Day,” etc., will cause the weather to change for a certain period of time as soon as they appear. However, these changes can be completely achieved through weather-type skills like Rain Prayer, Snowfall, Great Sunny Day, etc.

The only difference is that one is passive and one is active, one consumes no energy, and one consumes energy.

Air Evacuation needs to affect the surroundings and doesn’t completely act on oneself. Maybe there really is such a skill… Thinking of this, Qiao Sang started typing to search.

Soon, she found a related post.

[Why are Pets with the Air Evacuation characteristic being sold at sky-high prices? Isn’t it because it’s somewhat related to the Absolute Vacuum skill? If that’s the case, why not just let Pets learn Absolute Vacuum?]

Absolute Vacuum… what a straightforward skill name… but she had never heard of this skill before… Qiao Sang subconsciously forgot her identity as a poor student and continued to read:

[Do you think we don’t want our Pets to learn Absolute Vacuum? It’s that they can’t learn it!]

[Heh heh, what the楼主 said is like asking us why we don’t get into Zhuzhou Laina University.]

[Did the楼主 forget that Absolute Vacuum is an Ultra-level skill?]

Ultra-level skill… Qiao Sang sighed inwardly.

No wonder she hadn’t heard of it; it turned out to be an Ultra-level skill.

If it were a High Level skill, she would still be confident that Little Steel Falcon could learn it, given the precedent of Ya Bao and the others. But if it’s an Ultra-level skill…

Qiao Sang silently closed the post and searched for moves highly similar to Absolute Vacuum.

With Divine-level skills generally becoming legends, Ultra-level skills are already the highest level of skills. Even in competitions like the Interstellar Cup, which represents the pinnacle of Yu Beast Master skill across the entire galaxy, the highest-level skills used are Ultra-level skills.

It can be said that High Level skills and combination skills are the norm for Professional Beast Tamers, while Ultra-level skills are something that only the Pets of true masters might learn. Qiao Sang had this much understanding.

Water Luyana is so highly valued by the people of the Ancient Mist region, besides being on the verge of extinction, it’s also largely due to its innate skill, Healing Light, which is classified as an Ultra-level skill by the Alliance.

The page jumped, and Qiao Sang searched for over five minutes, finally finding a similar skill:

Air Absorption.
