Chapter 786: The string is broken

Lubao looks to be in good condition… Qiao Sang felt relieved as she gazed at the figure that appeared dozens of times larger than usual from a visual perspective.

But then she remembered that Lubao probably hadn’t absorbed to the later stage yet, and her eyes unconsciously showed worry.

What Teacher Pilit said was right. Lubao has Healing Light. Theoretically, even if it doesn’t have enough talent, it’s most likely to absorb the energy directly to the perfect later stage.

And with Lubao’s personality, it would definitely do so.

But it’s in a state of absorbing energy. At that time, forcibly absorbing energy and then circulating energy to heal injuries will inevitably be very painful.

Because what caused its injuries was energy…

Just as she was thinking, a large yellow bird flew towards her, still holding a wiggling, struggling insect in its mouth.

Before Qiao Sang could react, the large yellow bird stopped beside her, spat the insect out downwards, and chirped twice.

This… Feeling the wiggling insect at her feet, Qiao Sang was momentarily stunned.

Did I transmigrate into a bird?

Is this big bird telling me to eat a bug?

Qiao Sang lowered her head and analyzed it almost instinctively.

After more than a year of experience in the Yu Beast World, her courage had grown exponentially. Even seeing this insect so close to her foot… no, it was a claw. It seemed she really had transmigrated into a bird… With the insect only 0.01 centimeters from her claw, she didn’t feel particularly scared.

One must know that in her previous life, she would keep a good distance from creatures like insects…

At this moment, the large yellow bird suddenly picked up the insect again and brought it close to Qiao Sang’s mouth.

“Chirp chirp!”

“!!!”

Qiao Sang was startled, her thoughts abruptly stopped, and she sprang backward.

Wanting her to eat a bug was one thing; actually making her eat a bug was another!

She flapped her wings, wanting to leave, but unfortunately, this body seemed to be a young bird, not fully developed. After only two flaps, Qiao Sang fell back onto the branch.

The large yellow bird approached again with the insect in its mouth.

As the wiggling insect neared her mouth, in an instant, all sorts of thoughts flooded Qiao Sang’s mind.

Should I just jump off the tree!

But this body seems to be a young bird. Falling from such a high tree would kill me, right…

Ah!

Lubao, save me!

I don’t want to eat a raw bug!

“Ice Ai!”

Just as Qiao Sang was despairing, a painful roar sounded.

At the same time, a chaotic airflow swept over, causing the surrounding plants to bend and tilt.

Hundreds of meters of ordinary creatures in the vicinity were startled and fled, flying away.

Including the large yellow bird that had originally intended to feed her the insect.

Qiao Sang clung to the nearby leaves with her claws and wings to keep herself from being blown down by the airflow.

When everything returned to calm, Qiao Sang let out a heavy sigh of relief.

Thank you, Lubao!

If she wasn’t mistaken, Lubao must have just begun to forcibly absorb energy… As soon as she thought of this, Qiao Sang looked at the figure in the distant vortex, and her eyes filled with worry again.

The Staff said the absorption time was about two hours, so that should be the average absorption time for a General-level Pet.

But it hadn’t even been an hour, and Lubao had already reached the Point of forcibly absorbing energy.

Either its talent wasn’t enough.

Or, Lubao had been accelerating the energy absorption all along…

That’s right, what others told her before was immersion absorption. Since it was immersion, the energy pool wouldn’t appear as a vortex. This clearly meant Lubao was accelerating the absorption…

…

“Ice Ai…”

An endless stream of energy poured into Lubao’s body.

With every bit of energy absorbed, its body glowed faintly, and its size slowly increased.

Under the frantic absorption, the dense energy pool was diluted by more than half, and the green color visibly faded.

As the energy in its body increased, every bit of energy that surged in caused Lubao to feel a sharp pain.

Energy surged in from all directions, and every second spent in the energy pool was torture for Lubao.

“Ice Ai!”

Lubao roared, and the gem on its forehead lit up with a blue light, enveloping its entire body.

All the pain quickly disappeared.

But when the blue light dissipated, the sharp pain once again swept through its entire body, even to every corner within it.

“Ice Ai…”

The blue light continuously lit up, disappeared, lit up, disappeared…

Time passed little by little.

After an unknown amount of time, Lubao gradually felt tired.

Is absorbing this much enough…

But it feels like I can endure a bit more and absorb more…

My Yu Beast Master gave me such a precious slot…

I have to absorb it all, completely, so it’s not wasted…

Thinking this, the gem on Lubao’s forehead once again emitted blue light.

…

On the other side.

“Through what other means can one obtain a spot in the energy pool?” Pilit asked casually, having nothing else to do.

“I’m sorry, I’m not entirely clear on that,” the Staff replied respectfully. “The methods for obtaining energy pool spots vary each year.”

Pilit picked up the freshly delivered coffee and took a sip, saying,

“I heard that your energy pool doesn’t allow Pets above King-level to enter?”

The Staff responded gently, “That was last year’s regulation. This year, the energy pool has sufficient energy storage to allow King-level Pets to absorb and advance one minor stage.”

The so-called minor stage means from Beginner to Middle, or Middle to Later.

Being able to let a King-level Pet directly advance one minor stage without side effects indicates that this year’s energy pool is much more abundant than last year’s.

More energy is good. More energy means Ice Aipalu can absorb energy faster… Pilit thought to himself as he took another sip of coffee.

“Sir, aren’t you going to experience this project?” the Staff asked.

Pilit put down his coffee cup: “Is it free for me?”

“Only those with an honorary ring are free,” the Staff said tactfully.

“Then I won’t experience it,” Pilit said calmly.

Staff: “…”

…

Inside the barrier.

In the energy pool.

Lubao gradually felt confused.

It remembered its Yu Beast Master saying that absorbing this thing was very comfortable, had no side effects, and that pain would only be felt when the current maximum energy capacity in its body was reached and it still forcibly absorbed more.

Xiao Xunbao had also opened the computer and searched for it, specifically explaining to it that the longer it stayed inside, the higher its talent.

It felt pain so quickly, did that mean its talent wasn’t high…

“Ice Ai!”

The intense pain interrupted Lubao’s thoughts.

The blue light from the gem on its forehead lit up, allowing it to briefly think again.

If it just went back like this, its Yu Beast Master would be disappointed, right…

“Ice Ai!!!”

Thinking of this, Lubao’s eyes sharpened, and its expression became resolute.

It roared.

Suddenly, the energy pool, which had returned to calm, began to spin wildly in a vortex again.

Lubao in the center of the vortex felt a tearing pain.

At the same time, the invariable stone hanging around its neck emitted a strong white light.

“Chirp chirp!”

The airflow carried a Typhoon, and Qiao Sang was blown off her original branch.

She was quick-eyed and quick-handed, quickly grabbing a passing green leaf with her wings and claws.

But the next second, the branch at the top of the green leaf was broken by the wind, and Qiao Sang was blown down again.

Fortunately, there were many trees and lush vegetation around.

Qiao Sang fell from one tree to another, and then from another tree to a bush. The continuous cushioning prevented her from feeling much pain.

When everything returned to calm, Qiao Sang found herself on the edge of a bush only a dozen meters away from the energy pool.

She looked in Lubao’s direction first, and then her pupils contracted sharply.

Qiao Sang’s first thought was, “From this distance and angle, Lubao is so big!”

Her second thought was, “Holy cow, the invariable stone lit up?!”

The invariable stone can suppress a Pet’s evolution. When a Yu Beast Master wants a Pet to train to be stronger and uncover more potential in its current stage, or has already planned the Pet’s evolution path and doesn’t want it to take the energy evolution route, they will have the Pet wear an invariable stone.

When the invariable stone lights up and takes effect, it means that the energy within the Pet’s body has reached a level where it can evolve!

Lubao’s internal energy can already evolve?!

At this moment, Qiao Sang’s mind was blank.

From the level Points in the yu beast codex, one can determine which stage a Pet is currently in. Lubao was undoubtedly still in the early General-level stage.

In such a short time, it went from Beginner to the perfect Later stage?!

No, Lubao doesn’t have a pure energy evolution path. Its energy has broken through the limit of a General-level Pet, and its level data exceeds one million!

“Chirp chirp!”

Qiao Sang suppressed her excited emotions and shouted: “That’s enough! No need to absorb more!”

However, the sound she made was only a bird’s chirp.

Qiao Sang was a little anxious.

Why is Lubao still absorbing? Won’t something go wrong if it continues like this…

No, it has Healing Light, so it can heal itself even if something goes wrong…

But it will hurt, right? It clearly has enough energy, but it’s still absorbing, and it can’t evolve…

“Chirp chirp!!”

Qiao Sang screamed again, straining her voice.

Stop absorbing!

“Ice Ai…”

Lubao only felt as if it vaguely heard its Yu Beast Master’s voice. It endured the intense pain and looked to the side, but found nothing.

This won’t do. The current body is too small for Lubao… Just as Qiao Sang was about to hit the nearby tree trunk to return to her original body and directly summon Lubao back to the yu beast codex.

The large yellow bird flew down from the sky and landed nearby.

It was still holding the wiggling insect in its mouth.

A strong sense of crisis surged in Qiao Sang’s heart.

The next second, her premonition came true.

The large yellow bird held Qiao Sang’s body down with its wing, then slowly brought its mouth, still holding the insect, closer.

“Chirp chirp!!!”

Qiao Sang’s mind went “boom,” and she struggled desperately with all her might.

No!

I don’t want to!

Let me go back!!

Let me go back!!!

A disgusting, sticky sensation came from her mouth. In extreme terror, disgust, and despair, Qiao Sang’s consciousness became frantically active.

Then, a certain string snapped.

…

Inside the Soul Transmigration Global Experience Cabin, Qiao Sang suddenly opened her eyes, sat up abruptly, and gasped for air as if she had a nightmare, like she was oxygen-deprived.

Her face was pale, and her forehead was covered in cold sweat.

“Ya Ya!”

“Xiao Xunbao!”

Yabao and Xiao Xunbao, who had been guarding her, cheered happily when they saw their Yu Beast Master wake up.

But soon, they realized something was wrong.

“Ya Ya!”

Yabao showed an anxious expression, asking if something had happened!

“Xiao Xunbao…”

Xiao Xunbao showed a worried expression.

Initially, seeing other humans wake up like this, it only found it amusing, but now that it was happening to its own Yu Beast Master, it was a little worried.

“What’s wrong? Did something happen?” Pilit, who was sitting in the rest area, stood up and walked over to ask.

Qiao Sang waved her hand, about to say she was fine, but then she remembered the last sensation, and a feeling of nausea and vomit surged from the bottom of her heart.

“Yue…”

Qiao Sang covered her mouth with both hands, preventing herself from throwing up.

She subconsciously wanted to go find a restroom, but then she remembered something and, with a wave of her hand, summoned Lubao back to the yu beast codex.
