Chapter 99: Spiritual Pattern

Back in the room, Fire Fang Dog watched the Hanggang match channel as usual.

Qiao Sang, on the other hand, watched online courses about Pet Spiritual Mark Masters while sketching on Little Treasure Hunting Ghost’s cheek with a brush specifically for Spiritual Mark Masters.

It wasn’t that she had nothing better to do and wanted to add a skill during her holiday; she just wanted to help Fire Fang Dog with its Energy Ball condensation.

After this period of training, she could more or less sense the problems with Fire Fang Dog practicing Mars Rain.

Mars Rain is a high-level skill, and even if she added Point to Fire Fang Dog, its current internal energy was simply not enough to support its release.

Don’t let the first step of condensing the Energy Ball seem to be progressing rapidly.

But even if the internal structure of the Energy Ball stabilizes, the explosion formed in the sky might not be Mars Rain but a drizzle.

And it would be a drizzle with only a few drops of rain.

There are three solutions.

The first is evolution.

Actually, practicing Mars Rain was just an attempt and not an urgent matter; even if it kept practicing for over a month until Fire Fang Dog evolved into Burning Fire Dog, it would be fine.

The only concern was that even if it evolved into a Burning Fire Dog, its energy might still not be enough, as most intermediate Pet that learn high-level skills are usually found in textbooks.

The second is items.

The reason for rejection is simple.

No money, at least not at the moment.

The third is engraving energy Spiritual Mark.

This thing is mainly a technical job; although some materials are expensive, they are nothing compared to items.

The materials and mixing ratios for simple Spiritual Mark can be bought online for money, and Qiao Sang’s current financial situation can afford it.

Engraving Spiritual Mark mainly tests technique; each stroke must be done in one go.

Besides the Spiritual Mark engraving not being allowed to have errors, the mental power infused with each stroke must also be the same.

Uneven mental power will cause the energy structure of the Spiritual Mark to become unbalanced, ultimately leading to failure.

Simply put, the use of mental power means making the yu beast codex in the brain region operate.

Normally, Yu Beast Master don’t feel anything when using the yu beast codex to summon Pet, but continuously operating the yu beast codex to use mental power to engrave Spiritual Mark will definitely feel strenuous.

Qiao Sang had been learning to engrave energy Spiritual Mark for three days and hadn’t encountered this kind of trouble yet.

Pet primarily rely on their own internal energy to release skills, while the energy Spiritual Mark she is currently learning allows them to absorb external energy when releasing skills.

Qiao Sang specifically bought a month of online courses on this type of Spiritual Mark, and the experimental subject was Little Treasure Hunting Ghost.

It wasn’t that she didn’t want to experiment directly on Fire Fang Dog; it was just that Fire Fang Dog hated water and was always Mog Mog when bathing.

Given Fire Fang Dog’s habit of disliking water, experimenting with this Spiritual Mark on it would likely never succeed.

Little Treasure Hunting Ghost didn’t have this problem.

On the contrary, it was quite active in engraving Spiritual Mark these three days and would even proactively take out the materials each time.

“It’s done, you try it,” Qiao Sang said, putting down the brush.

“Qunbao~”

Little Treasure Hunting Ghost extended its short claw and spread it upwards, indicating no rush.

It picked up a small mirror that had been prepared earlier and held it up to its face, making various funny expressions from time to time.

Qiao Sang watched helplessly from the side.

If an uninformed person saw this, they would think she wasn’t drawing a Spiritual Mark but a ghost face.

“Qunbao~”

Little Treasure Hunting Ghost put down the mirror and happily cried out, seemingly very satisfied with the masterpiece on its face.

The next second, a faint purple glow appeared on its body, but it quickly dissipated.

“Qunbao.”

Little Treasure Hunting Ghost spread its hands and shook its head, indicating it was useless.

Failed again.

Although Qiao Sang was mentally prepared, she was still inevitably a little disappointed.

“Knock, knock.”

Just as she was about to wash off the Spiritual Mark on Little Treasure Hunting Ghost’s face, there was a knock on the door.

“Qunbao~”

Little Treasure Hunting Ghost actively floated over to open the door.

“A Sang, why are you drawing a ghost face on Qunbao?” Ye Ranran was stunned when she saw Little Treasure Hunting Ghost opening the door, asking in confusion.

“Qunbao~”

Little Treasure Hunting Ghost heard this and smiled widely, floating to the table to pick up the small mirror and look at itself again.

Qiao Sang: “…!”

This is a Spiritual Mark!

Qiao Sang moved her mouth, really wanting to explain.

But being thought of this way when Little Treasure Hunting Ghost wasn’t even making a ghost face, explaining it would feel a bit like humiliating herself…

“Is this Clear Frost Coral powder?” Qiao Sang looked at the bowl in Ye Ranran’s hand, choosing to ignore her previous question.

“Yes, I just steeped some, and brought you a bowl too.” Ye Ranran entered the room and placed the bowl on the table.

Qiao Sang picked it up and took a sip; it was slightly sweet.

“What’s the situation with Third Uncle? How come he can’t even get two people to form a team for the competition?” Qiao Sang asked.

Actually, she had wanted to ask earlier, but it wasn’t appropriate to speak in front of Third Uncle at the dinner table, fearing she might hit a sore spot.

“How can he not get enough people? Aren’t you and I people?” Ye Ranran teased.

Qiao Sang: “…”

“I won’t tease you anymore. Third Uncle’s main problem is that the prizes the people he originally found wanted overlapped, and other people’s Pet race track positions also overlapped.”

“This marathon relay race is divided into three sections: land, sea, and air. Each section has two Pet. None of the friends Third Uncle can call have Flying-type Pet that can take over the aerial track. Your Qunbao can barely be counted for the aerial track.” Ye Ranran explained.

So it wasn’t that he had bad connections or was ostracized…

“Oh, right, if you have time these next few days, take Fire Fang Dog to practice. The land is the first track, and Fire Fang Dog should be the second leg then. Third Uncle mainly wants to rely on Roar Swamp Crocodile to get first place in individual performance.”

“But the water is the second track, and I’m worried that if your leg is too far behind, it will put psychological pressure on Roar Swamp Crocodile. It’s been so jumpy lately, I don’t know why, and its psychological endurance doesn’t seem that strong.” Ye Ranran continued.

The pressure is on Fire Fang Dog now.

Qiao Sang turned to look at Fire Fang Dog, who was intently watching the match channel, feeling that it wouldn’t be a big problem.

“Is Little Qunbao the last leg?” Qiao Sang asked.

Ye Ranran nodded and said, “It’s the last leg. Don’t worry, we didn’t expect to win the team competition anyway. It’s fine if your Little Qunbao doesn’t even run then.”

Qiao Sang looked at Little Treasure Hunting Ghost, who was still holding the mirror and making funny faces.

Hmm, it’s fine if it doesn’t run, then she’s relieved…

…

In the following days, Fire Fang Dog’s schedule became even fuller.

In the morning, it underwent skill release training, then drank half a bottle of f grade energy recovery liquid to practice Energy Ball condensation.

In the afternoon, it repeated the morning’s training.

However, after drinking the f grade energy recovery liquid, it wouldn’t practice Energy Ball to the Point of exhaustion, but would instead leave time to run a few laps around Liu Gan Stream.

In the evening, after recovering naturally from drinking milk, it still had to practice Energy Ball condensation.

It was even more desperate than when Qiao Sang wanted to get into Saint Water Middle School.

With her Pet being so diligent, Qiao Sang was also influenced.

During her good holiday, she actually read books to supplement her knowledge and practiced Spiritual Mark on Little Treasure Hunting Ghost’s face.

…

July 24th.

Sunny.

The day of the Qi Tang Town Marathon Relay Race.
