Compared to Ice Aipalu’s data changes, Steel Treasure’s were much more ordinary.
Of course, for a High-level Pet, being able to awaken three skills immediately after evolution, with two of them even being High Level skills, could absolutely be called exceptionally talented.
But Qiao Sang had experienced the data changes of Ya!, so her mindset was extremely stable when looking at Steel Treasure’s data now.
It gained a Bond Power characteristic. Can this power also be expressed with data?
Steel Treasure also underwent bond evolution in the previous stage, so why didn’t this characteristic show up?
Could it be that it hadn’t reached the level where it could be used as a characteristic in the previous stage?
Various thoughts flashed through Qiao Sang’s mind.
She didn’t let her thoughts wander aimlessly, quickly stabilized her mind, and looked at the skill column.
Scary Face, a normal-type intermediate skill, glares at the target with a terrifying expression, making them afraid, thereby greatly reducing the opponent’s speed…
Mount Tai Press, a normal-type High Level skill, presses down on the opponent with its entire body, sometimes causing the opponent to enter a paralyzed state.
Typhoon, a Flying-type High Level skill, attacks the opponent with a strong wind, sometimes causing the opponent to become confused.
Why didn’t it gain another defensive skill…
Qiao Sang sighed silently, then her consciousness returned, and she began Meditation.
Half an hour later, Charles’s voice rang out:
“Several General-level Pets are approaching. We’re moving out now.”
Qiao Sang heard this, opened her eyes, and nodded to Xiao Xunbao beside her.
“Xiao Xunbao~”
Xiao Xunbao had already finished positioning during the rest period. It called out, its eyes glowing blue, and then led everyone away from their original spot.
Two minutes later, a black figure suddenly shot down from the clouds.
Immediately after, the trees swayed, and a red figure with colorful patterns stepped forward.
The next second, a Pet covered in gray fur with only a pair of green eyes visible appeared out of thin air.
The three Pets looked at each other, then left.
In the bushes, small Pets trembled, not understanding why these terrifying Pets, which usually never appeared in the outermost circle, had all gathered today.
…
At the foot of Mount Bazhi.
“We’re finally out.”
Carol breathed a sigh of relief.
“It’s all thanks to Ghost Ring King’s Space Movement that we were able to get out so smoothly.”
Charles said with a smile.
“Xiao Xunbao~”
Xiao Xunbao heard this, waved its paw, and showed an expression of “This is nothing.”
Qiao Sang felt slightly embarrassed hearing the praise. After all, if she hadn’t been targeted by Sha Lu Dragon, they wouldn’t have had to leave Mount Bazhi two days early.
“Where are you two going next?”
Charles asked.
Carol thought for a moment and said, “Back to school directly.”
“I’m also going back directly.”
Qiao Sang said.
“Then let’s go together.”
Charles said, waving his hand, recalling the detection dog into his yu beast codex, then formed hand seals and summoned a cyan bird-type Pet about six meters tall.
Ya!’s eyes glowed blue, and it controlled Qiao Sang to sit on its back.
Carol was more familiar with Charles. Given their relationship, she instinctively chose to ride the cyan bird-type Pet.
Ice Aipalu slowly shrank in size, and with a powerful leap, it jumped onto Ya!’s body.
However, it didn’t burrow into the backpack like before, but instead stayed quietly outside.
Ice Aipalu’s changes seem to be really significant…
Just as Qiao Sang was thinking, Ya! began to run towards the high sky.
The strong evening wind howled, instantly interrupting her thoughts.
Once in the high sky, Ya! and the cyan bird-type Pet flew side by side, and the sound of the wind subsided.
The three began to chat idly.
“You’re okay with this outdoor exploration report, right?”
Carol asked.
“At least we saw the He Huang Spider King and escaped successfully, so it wasn’t a wasted trip.”
Charles was in a good mood.
As he spoke, he suddenly thought of something and looked at Qiao Sang: “When you go back this time, let your Ice Aipalu make an appearance. I estimate no one will dare to challenge you again.”
Why do I feel like everyone knows about my affairs…
Qiao Sang calmly said, “Their challenges are basically 1v1 battles, so it shouldn’t affect anything.”
Of course, this was talking nonsense with her eyes open. Three General-level Pets, while the 99th ranked on the Top 100 List only had one General-level Pet. Anyone would know who to challenge.
A large part of the reason why everyone challenged her before was that they were still unclear about her strength and the fact that she was a freshman.
Geniuses and prodigies were not lacking at Yu Liandun University.
There were also differences between General-level Pets. To be honest, if one didn’t care about the Pet’s future potential, there were many ways to forcibly raise them to this level in a short period of time.
Many students in higher grades actually had Pets that had reached the level where they could evolve into General-level, only lacking the materials needed for evolution. However, in order for the Pet to display its greatest potential after evolution, they often wouldn’t let the Pet evolve too early.
Qiao Sang had previously used Xiao Xunbao in battle, which had already proven that her Pet was not just High Level, so the challenge applications suddenly decreased significantly at that time.
Now, with Ice Aipalu added, besides a few who wanted to defeat her to prove themselves, those who simply wanted to enter the Top 100 List and live in the special zone would definitely not challenge her again.
Can’t you just refuse 1v1 battles…
Because Qiao Sang’s expression was too serious, Charles completely failed to see that she was talking nonsense, and even thought she really believed it, so he couldn’t help but complain inwardly.
The three changed the topic and continued to chat for a while.
During this time, Carol secretly took a photo of Qiao Sang and Ice Aipalu’s backs, uploaded it to the forum, and posted it.
Qiao Sang was completely unaware of this. Listening to Charles and Carol discussing various specialized terms related to Yu Beast Mastery, her heart stirred, and she asked:
“Do you know about Ice Heaven Domain?”
“Ice Heaven Domain?”
Carol was stunned for a moment: “Isn’t that an Ice skill?”
Nonsense, even if I don’t know its effect and classification, just hearing the name tells me it’s Ice…
Qiao Sang complained inwardly, then smiled slightly on the surface: “It is an Ice skill.”
“Why are you suddenly asking about this?”
Charles asked.
Pets basically awaken new skills upon evolution, but this usually takes time to confirm.
No Yu Beast Master would discover a Pet’s newly awakened skill right after its evolution, so Qiao Sang naturally couldn’t tell the truth.
She said without changing her expression:
“I plan to have Ice Aipalu learn this skill next.”
This…
Charles and Carol exchanged silent glances. The former opened his mouth with a strange expression, and after some hesitation, he said tactfully:
“Ice Aipalu is a General-level Pet. It might be a bit difficult for it to learn this move now.”
More than just a bit difficult…
Carol said directly, “General-level Pets basically can’t learn Ultra-level skills. I think you should wait until it evolves to King-level or Emperor-level.”
Qiao Sang: “!!!”
Ice Heaven Domain is an Ultra-level skill?!
Ultra-level skill?
It’s actually an Ultra-level skill?!
Sure enough, skills with the word “Domain” in them are not simple at all!
Qiao Sang’s eyes suddenly lit up:
“I understand!”
Understand is understand, why is her expression so excited and her voice so loud…
Charles and Carol again exchanged silent glances.
…
At the entrance of Yu Liandun University.
Qiao Sang dismounted from Ya!.
Charles nodded to Ghost Sense beside him, and Ghost Sense floated leisurely to Ice Aipalu’s side.
Seeing this, Qiao Sang said:
“I don’t need Ghost Sense anymore. You can take it back.”
“Ghost Sense…”
Ghost Sense stiffened upon hearing this, thinking it had made a mistake in its work.
“Why?”
Charles was puzzled.
Qiao Sang explained, “I needed Ghost Sense mainly to help Ice Aipalu evolve. Now that Ice Aipalu has successfully evolved, I naturally don’t need it anymore.”
“Ghost Sense…”
Ghost Sense breathed a sigh of relief.
Charles understood instantly upon hearing this that Ice Aipalu’s evolution condition was related to emotional energy.
“Alright.”
He waved his hand, recalling Ghost Sense into his yu beast codex, and said, “If you need anything in the future, just find me anytime.”
Although the outdoor exploration ended early this time, Charles still highly approved of Qiao Sang’s strength.
Moreover, he found that this monstrous freshman from the Beast Taming Department was actually very easy to talk to. If others had her strength, it would be impossible to invite them without a huge cost.
“I will.”
Qiao Sang nodded.
Carol said with a smile, “I’ll contact you when that potion is ready.”
“Okay.”
Qiao Sang said with a smile.
The three walked into the campus, said their goodbyes, and headed in different directions.
…
Special Zone, No. 100.
Entering the villa, Qiao Sang quickly scanned the room, then formed hand seals and summoned Steel Treasure.
The layout here was clearly designed with large Pets in mind. The living room was over ten meters high, completely enough for General-level Pets to move around.
“Steel Slash.”
After Steel Treasure came out, the entire living room instantly felt much more crowded.
“Xiao Xunbao!”
Xiao Xunbao floated upwards, circled Steel Treasure once, and then showed an envious expression.
“Ya!”
Ya! glanced at Steel Treasure, then looked at its Yu Beast Master, wagging its tail, and let out an excited cry, indicating that it also wanted to become that big!
I don’t have another shaping fruit…
Qiao Sang cleared her throat: “Just wait until your next evolution.”
“Ya!”
Ya! heard this and immediately showed an expression of “I will work hard.”
Ice Aipalu glanced at Steel Treasure, its expression calm, as if it had no thoughts.
Qiao Sang led Ya! and the others to the small courtyard in the back.
Although it was not suitable for practicing wide-range and extremely destructive skills like Mars Rain, there was no problem practicing other destructive, non-wide-range skills.
“Ice Aipalu, there’s a skill you have that I’m not sure about. Let’s try it now.”
Qiao Sang said to Ice Aipalu.
“Ice Ai.”
Ice Aipalu nodded.
“Xiao Xunbao, Steel Treasure, I need your help with this.”
Qiao Sang said.
“Xiao Xunbao~”
“Steel Slash.”
Xiao Xunbao and Steel Treasure called out one after another, indicating no problem.
“Ya!?”
Ya! was a bit anxious. What about it?
Qiao Sang glanced at it: “You go rest on the side.”
“Ya!…”
Ya! pouted, but still obediently walked to the side.
Qiao Sang looked at Xiao Xunbao: “First, use Tongue Lick on Steel Treasure.”
Purification one, purifies negative effects.
Tongue Lick has a certain chance of causing paralysis to the opponent. The chance would be much higher between Steel Treasure and Xiao Xunbao, as they are one level apart.
Xiao Xunbao didn’t say a word, just stuck out its tongue and gave Steel Treasure a heavy lick.
“Steel Slash…”
Steel Treasure felt a chill, its body couldn’t help but tremble, and then it became noticeably stiff.
Paralysis worked…
Qiao Sang’s eyes lit up, and she shouted, “Purification!”
“Ice Ai!”
Ice Aipalu called out, and then a faint blue light emitted from the gem on its forehead, shining on Steel Treasure’s body.
“Steel Slash…”
After the blue light dissipated, Steel Treasure remained stiff.
It seems it doesn’t purify negative effects…
Qiao Sang looked at Xiao Xunbao: “Decline Luck Curse.”
Purification two, purifies curse effects. Xiao Xunbao just happened to have this type of skill.
“Xiao Xunbao!”
Xiao Xunbao heard this, its eyes immediately glowed purple and looked at Steel Treasure.
A faint purple light appeared on Steel Treasure’s body, then quickly disappeared.
Qiao Sang nodded to Ice Aipalu.
The gem on Ice Aipalu’s forehead once again emitted a faint blue light and shone over.
Three seconds later, the faint blue light receded.
Steel Treasure shook its feathers and found that its body was no longer paralyzed.
It looked at its Yu Beast Master, just about to express its feelings at the moment.
At this moment, a thin, black and white viscous substance fell from the sky, landing right on Steel Treasure’s head.
“Steel Slash…”
Steel Treasure’s body stiffened, and it slowly looked up.
Directly above, a yellow bird-type Pet about one meter tall stiffened slightly, flapped its wings, and quickly flew away.
Steel Treasure, I’m sorry…
It seems it doesn’t purify curse effects either…
Then there’s only one last type left…
Qiao Sang thought as she looked at the small pond nearby.
The school seemed to have considered Water-type Pets, as there was a pond in the courtyard.
However, it was very small, only enough for small and medium-sized Pets to move around in.
Purification three, purifies dirty muddy water.
Could it be that Ice Aipalu’s Purification effect is this…
Qiao Sang had a moment of trance.
Among the three types of Purification, this one was the rarest. Although it had no offensive effect, it was classified as an Ultra-level skill by the Beast Tamer Alliance.
On Blue Star, oceans cover more than seventy percent of the total surface area.
Wild Pets on land are easy to control, but those in the ocean are not.
To build good relationships with Water-type Pets in the ocean, Water-type Pets are indispensable.
Except for the Ancient Mist region, other regions also had departments specifically recruiting Yu Beast Masters of Water-type Pets.
Through long-term communication and understanding with ocean Water-type Pets, experts soon discovered that Water-type Pets capable of purifying dirty muddy water were the most popular in the ocean.
As long as one brought a Water-type Pet that could use this move for communication, they could even chat with the overlord of a certain ocean area.
Unfortunately, Water-type Pets that could use this move were too few, and there was no accurate training direction. It seemed that unless it was an inherent bloodline talent, it was absolutely impossible to learn.
Could it be that this move was what Ice Aipalu awakened through the Water-type Awakening Bead?
As thoughts flickered, Qiao Sang came to the edge of the pond and kicked some sand and stones into it with her foot.
After doing all this, she looked at Ice Aipalu: “Use Purification on this water.”
“Ice Ai.”
Ice Aipalu nodded, and then the gem on its forehead emitted a faint blue light that shone on the pond.
The entire surface of the pond was immediately covered by a faint blue light.
This time, the faint blue light lasted for almost ten full seconds before dissipating.
After the faint blue light receded, the surface of the pond was crystal clear, with no trace of the sand and stones that were there just moments ago.
