Chapter 783: Ita Valley

11:40 AM.

The villa.

Living room.

The Immortal Treasure Butterfly was routinely casting Peaceful Wave on Yabao.

“Yaya…”

Yabao’s expression instantly became dazed.

Even after several days of training, its resistance to Peaceful Wave remained at 0.

Qiao Sang sat on the sofa, looking through the phone number of the Staff from the Beastmaster Star Tournament who had contacted her the day before yesterday.

At that time, the other party had called hoping she would accept an interview after the competition.

She remembered the call was in the afternoon, and the number was… Just as Qiao Sang’s gaze settled on a particular line of numbers, the screen suddenly displayed an unknown incoming call.

Qiao Sang paused, then chose to answer.

A mature female voice came from the speaker:

“Hello, may I speak with Miss Qiao Sang?”

Qiao Sang hummed and asked, “Who is this?”

“I am Staff from Ita Valley.” The other side said gently, “I would like to ask when you plan to come to our energy pool for a bath, so I can register your time.”

Goodness, I was just about to ask about the energy pool, and the call came right away… Qiao Sang felt a surge of joy and said, “I’ll go tomorrow.”

“Alright, what specific time, please?” The Staff asked.

Qiao Sang thought for a moment and tentatively asked, “I probably won’t have time until around 6 PM. Can I go during that time?”

“Of course.” The Staff’s tone was respectful: “Our Ita Valley is at your service all day.”

With this attitude, could the energy pool be in a service facility… Qiao Sang speculated internally and asked, “I’d like to ask where Ita Valley is located?”

“It’s near Mohai. I’ll send the exact address to your phone in a moment.” The Staff said, “Do you have any other questions?”

Qiao Sang recalled what her classmates had said and asked, “Can all Pets enter the energy pool, or is only one allowed?”

The Staff replied, “We only allow one Pet to enter. Please choose beforehand.”

“I have no other questions.”

“Alright, I wish you a pleasant day.”

Qiao Sang hung up the phone and fell into thought for a moment.

If only one Pet is allowed to enter, then Steel Treasure is immediately ruled out.

Steel Treasure is still a High-level Pet. The energy between High Level and General-level, and the energy between General-level and King-level, are not on the same scale at all. It must be a General-level Pet that enters to maximize the benefit of this slot.

Yabao, Xiao Xunbao, Lubao…

Qiao Sang pondered for a moment and quickly made a decision—Lubao.

Lubao’s previous stages followed the true evolution path of Water Luyana, not just by adding Point.

Since the previous stages already followed emotional energy, she naturally hoped that Lubao could continue to evolve based on emotional energy plus weather.

Its next stage of emotional energy is excitement.

The Water Luyana species finds it increasingly difficult to generate more intense emotions in its later stages.

However, emotions can often come suddenly, and no one can say for sure whether Lubao will be excited tomorrow.

But if it gets excited before its internal energy is full, then that excitement will be wasted.

Now that she has a relatively complete understanding of the Yu Beast world, she knows that minus 60 degrees Celsius weather can be achieved entirely with the help of Pets, but it is much more difficult for Lubao to spontaneously generate enough emotional energy to evolve.

Given this, then let Lubao’s internal energy reach the later stage sooner.

This way, she can rent a Pet that can bring the weather to minus 60 degrees Celsius to follow her at all times, to cope with Lubao’s potential excitement that could arise at any unknown time…

However, before that, she needs to prepare an invariable stone.

Otherwise, if Lubao directly reaches the later stage by absorbing the energy from the energy pool, and then evolves directly due to Point after some time, that would not be good…

Thinking of this, Qiao Sang suddenly called out loudly:

“Xiao Xunbao!”

“Xunxun~”

The next second, Xiao Xunbao teleported in front of her.

“Do you have an invariable stone in your inventory?” Qiao Sang said, picking up her phone and searching for a picture of an invariable stone to show Xiao Xunbao.

Some time ago, because she wanted to cash out money for shares, she remembered using an unlimited card to scour several Pet item shops.

“Xunxun…”

Xiao Xunbao leaned in to look at the phone screen, then its eyes lit up, showing an expression of “Yes!”

It took off the ring on its ear.

The moment the ring was taken off, it gradually grew larger.

Xiao Xunbao stretched its paw into the ring and rummaged for a full half-minute before finally pulling out an unremarkable oval gray stone and handing it to its Yu Beast Master.

“Xunxun~”

Qiao Sang took the gray stone and carefully compared it with the picture. After confirming it was an invariable stone, she put it into her pocket with satisfaction.

At this time, Lamal, who had been observing the training progress of the Immortal Treasure Butterfly and Yabao, spoke with slight concern:

“Qiao Sang, if Flame Qilu’s training continues to be ineffective, will you still come with me to the Coordination Competition?”

Qiao Sang was stunned for a moment, looked at Yabao, whose eyes were unusually clear, and twitched the corner of her mouth slightly, saying:

“Of course.”

Lamal felt relieved upon hearing this.

…

5:30 PM.

Qiao Sang returned to the villa under Xiao Xunbao’s Space Movement.

As soon as she arrived, the doorbell rang.

Qiao Sang went and opened the door.

She was not surprised to see Teacher Pilit standing outside, as he had mentioned beforehand that he would come around this time in the afternoon.

“How’s your knot-sealing practice coming along?” Pilit asked as he walked in.

“Almost there.” Qiao Sang said.

Yesterday, she practiced the knot-sealing for simultaneously summoning two, three, and four Pets, all successfully on the first try. Now, she just needs more practice to become proficient.

She planned to practice the remaining five knot-sealing techniques before going to bed tonight, but without brain-region communication, she couldn’t be sure if they were correct.

But memorizing all of them was not a problem.

Pilit had no intention of asking Qiao Sang to demonstrate in front of him.

If Qiao Sang said it was almost there, then it was almost there.

He fully trusted her learning and practical abilities.

Students who can enter the Imperial Beast Academy naturally have excellent learning abilities, and they can generally learn knot-sealing very quickly.

However, some students can learn it instantly but fail when they try to do it, their practical ability not keeping up with their minds.

In just a few days, Qiao Sang’s knot-sealing hand speed caught up with those young Yu Beast Masters, so there was no need to worry about her hand coordination.

“You should know the purpose of that ring from yesterday, right?” Pilit sat on the sofa and got straight to the Point.

Qiao Sang hummed while pouring water in the kitchen.

She walked out of the kitchen, placed the water glass on the coffee table in front of Pilit, and said, “This afternoon, the Staff over there already contacted me.”

“So, have you decided which Pet to send?” Pilit asked.

“Ice Aipalu.” Qiao Sang said.

Pilit nodded slightly upon hearing this, indicating his approval of the choice: “Ice Aipalu has Healing Light. Even if it absorbs too much energy and suffers injuries, it can recover immediately. Theoretically, as long as Ice Aipalu can endure it, even if its talent is not enough, it is the most likely Pet among all yours to directly absorb energy to the later stage of perfection.”

“Your decision is a good one.”

Later stage of perfection means absorbing the energy within the body to the Point where no more can be absorbed at the current level.

In other words, once a Pet’s energy reaches the later stage of perfection, then it only needs the corresponding evolution conditions to move to the next stage of evolution.

He looked at Qiao Sang, his admiration practically overflowing from his eyes.

Ah? I really hadn’t thought of that… Qiao Sang was silent for a moment:

“That’s exactly what I was thinking.”

“When are you planning to go?” Pilit took a sip of the water in front of him, then asked.

“Tomorrow.” Qiao Sang said.

“Alright, I’ll go with you tomorrow.” Pilit said, putting down the water glass.

…

The next day.

6:39 PM.

Qiao Sang sat on Yabao, stopping on an island covered with valleys, rivers, and various Pet statues and glass buildings in the middle.

The curved glass buildings soared into the clouds, blending with nature, giving a strong visual impact.

Qiao Sang dismounted from Yabao.

“We’ve arrived.” Pilit, who dismounted from a giant bird Pet beside her, looked at the island in front of them and said.

I bet many people followed along and practiced the knot-sealing hand gestures yesterday, hahaha!
