Chapter 698: Suddenly understood something

The new students from the Beast Taming Department present were not particularly surprised by the sight.

Everyone discussed among themselves, offering their own opinions.

“It seems this Water-type Pet has the Water Vapor Trait.”

The Water Vapor Trait allows a Pet to transform into water vapor and exist in the air, moving with it, as long as there is water vapor in the atmosphere. It is a relatively rare trait.

“I don’t think so,” a girl said, holding a different opinion. “I’ve seen Pets with the Water Vapor Trait before. When they transform into water vapor and exist in the air, they don’t just vanish instantly like this. There’s a process where you can clearly see their body gradually disappearing in the direction of the wind.”

Another boy pushed up his glasses, “It’s the Melt Water Trait.”

The person next to him chuckled, “How is that possible? That Water-type Pet didn’t use any Water-type skills just now.”

Someone else agreed, “Water Fusion first requires water. There’s no puddle here, and it’s not raining right now.”

“But its very last caudal fin is made of water,” the boy with glasses calmly stated. “Generally speaking, the elemental body parts of a Pet can be partially controlled through training.”

His analysis was correct. When Yabao was training to control her flame wings, Lubao also trained.

Her caudal fin was formed from water. After training, she couldn’t make it disappear completely like Yabao, but she could make water drip from her caudal fin.

Qiao Sang saw this at the time and felt that this move was very suitable for battle.

After all, if she directly used Water-type skills like before, people would become wary once they saw it too often. But having water drip from the caudal fin, from the opponent’s perspective, is completely invisible, making it very suitable for a sudden, unexpected disappearance.

Inside the encirclement, the boy chosen for the battle showed no major change in expression, calmly responding:

“Move it.”

“Mysterious!”

Mysterious Sprite immediately started running.

Its movement trajectory was extremely erratic and irregular, like the steps of someone stumbling around drunk.

Qiao Sang’s eyesight was excellent now. She clearly saw Mysterious Sprite dropping some tiny, brown, dust-like particles from her body as she ran.

Could it be that she hadn’t bathed in too long…? Qiao Sang quickly banished the thought from her mind, her expression turning serious.

This was a battle, not a time for jokes. These falling particles must have a purpose. It was better to end this quickly…

As the thought arose, Lubao suddenly darted out from behind Mysterious Sprite, her sharp claws solidified into ice, glinting with cold light, and mercilessly slashed forward.

Just as the Ice Claw was about one centimeter away from Mysterious Sprite, sharp, incomparable vine thorns suddenly burst from the ground, like pointed longswords thrusting out!

Those falling particles really were problematic… Qiao Sang quickly gave the command:

“Water Jet!”

Lubao retracted her claws, then a massive stream of water appeared around her, enveloping her body, and she shot straight into the sky, dodging the continuous vine thorns emerging from the ground.

Many people present took out their Pet Identifiers and aimed them at the Mysterious Sprite, who had stopped running.

Mechanical electronic sounds rang out one after another.

[Mysterious Sprite, Tian Yuan Star High Level Grass-type Pet. The seeds it sprays randomly generate various Grass-type skills. As the Pet’s level increases, there is a high probability that the randomly generated skills will align with its own intentions.]

No sooner had one electronic sound faded than Lubao, like a pillar of water, arced gracefully through the air and suddenly attacked Mysterious Sprite.

The proficiency of this Water Jet seems to have reached the Profound Level… The boy’s heart tightened, and he shouted:

“Block it!”

Mysterious Sprite looked up and opened her mouth.

Just as a brown seed was about to be spit out of her mouth, Lubao suddenly accelerated, directly striking Mysterious Sprite’s head.

“Mysterious!”

Mysterious Sprite screamed, swayed, and collapsed to the ground.

“Photosynthesis!”

“Continuous Water Tail!”

Qiao Sang and the boy gave commands simultaneously.

Photosynthesis is a healing skill that only Grass-type Pets can use, allowing them to restore their energy and stamina through sunlight.

Water Tail is a Water-type intermediate skill. Even if Mysterious Sprite was hit, she could still persist in using Photosynthesis. Her Photosynthesis had already reached the late stage of mastery. Ordinary attacks wouldn’t recover as quickly as she did… The boy originally thought this, but the next second, his mouth twitched violently.

He saw that the Water Tail used by the Water-type Pet he didn’t recognize was terrifyingly thick, several times larger than its original tail, which was quite absurd.

Mysterious Sprite’s Photosynthesis power simply couldn’t hold up.

With continuous Water Tail strikes, the already heavily injured Mysterious Sprite had no power to retaliate.

Seeing the scene on the field, the boy had to realize a truth: this Water-type Pet’s Water Tail had also reached the Profound Level…

He took a deep breath, preparing to issue a command.

But at this very moment, Lubao felt it was enough. She retracted her tail, and ice instantly condensed on her sharp claws.

“Swish!”

The Ice Claw dragged a long, cold gleam, slashing across Mysterious Sprite’s head.

“Mysterious!”

Mysterious Sprite flew backward, unable to get up again.

Ice Claw, also Profound Meaning… After realizing this, the boy looked at the girl opposite him with a complex expression.

He chose not to continue the battle, instead recalling Mysterious Sprite and turning to leave.

At the same time, a virtual panel, visible only to Qiao Sang, automatically appeared.

[Name: Qiao Sang]

[Major: Beast Taming Department]

[Points: 1]

As Qiao Sang looked at the virtual panel, the surrounding new students from the Beast Taming Department exchanged glances.

Although it was the battle result everyone had hoped for, for a moment, no one stepped forward to strongly express their desire to battle, unlike before.

None of the students who could get into Royal Union Dun University were fools. Whether it was the orange-yellow star array or the Profound Level Water Jet, Water Tail, and Ice Claw, they all made them realize that the girl in front of them was not simple.

At this moment, the bespectacled boy among the new students aimed the Pet Identifier in his hand at Lubao.

[Ice Kexilu, Blue Star High Level Water and Ice dual-attribute Pet, already on the verge of extinction. Meeting it is your luck, remember to take a photo as a souvenir.]

Hearing the sound of the Pet Identifier, the bespectacled boy’s pupils contracted violently. He stared intently at Lubao, then pulled out his phone and opened the camera function.

“Does anyone else want to battle?” Qiao Sang asked.

“Me!” Soon, another new student walked out from the crowd.

Three minutes later, as the opponent approached, Lubao used Ice Shard Guard to end the match.

Over the next hour, Lubao successively used Rain Prayer and quickly defeated many opponents using her Swift Swim trait.

Although these were reverse-attribute battles, Lubao’s proficiency in various skills was far higher than her opponents’, so much so that all battles so far had been Favorable Wind situations, with not a single one being an uphill battle.

Time passed bit by bit, and the number of people waiting to battle also decreased.

Just as they saw a Lightning-type Pet finally manage to hit the opponent with lightning, and that Water-type Pet, after winning the battle, glowed blue and fully recovered, the remaining people started grumbling and turned to leave.

Seeing that almost everyone was about to leave, Qiao Sang quickly shouted:

“Don’t leave! Let’s continue, don’t you want 100 points?!”

Heh, trying to tempt them with 100 points again… The crowd did not stop their departure.

At this moment, a red-haired boy stopped and turned to ask:

“If it’s not a reverse attribute, will you fight?”

“No,” Qiao Sang said without thinking.

“Then there’s nothing more to say,” the boy turned and left.

Qiao Sang: “…”

I haven’t even sent out Yabao and Qunbao yet, how could this be…

Suddenly, a voice sounded beside her:

“The assessment only said to find Pets with reverse attributes to battle, and you get points for winning. It didn’t say the opponent had to agree to battle.”

Qiao Sang looked over and found that the speaker was a blonde boy wearing glasses.

“What do you mean?” Qiao Sang asked.

The boy with glasses smiled mysteriously, “As long as we attack first, are we really worried they won’t send out their Pets to battle and just stand there taking hits?”

After speaking, he said to a Pet beside him, which was about three meters tall, almost entirely green, and holding a white flower:

“Jasmine King, the one wearing the hat.”

“Jasmine!”

Jasmine King let out a cry, and then her eyes glowed green.

Ten meters away, two vines suddenly burst from the ground where a boy wearing a black baseball cap stood, binding his legs.

The boy was startled. Subconsciously, he formed hand seals and summoned his Pet.

“Just like that,” the boy with glasses showed a mischievous smile.

Qiao Sang watched the boy in the distance tell his Pet to cut off the vines, then turned to glare at the boy with glasses, looking like he was about to make a move the next second, and suddenly understood something…

PS: Ah! Thanks to Wes for becoming a Patron! I’ve been busy in the evenings these past two days, so I’ve been writing late. I should be back to normal timing tomorrow.
