Chapter 125: Chapter 120: The Sense of Touch
Qiao Sang calmly analyzed the data.
Some pet beasts’ evolutionary attributes changing or gaining new ones is a normal occurrence.
The most exaggerated examples of this are the Evergreen Worm, the Bamboo Flower Snake, and the Little Leapfish.
These three types of pet beasts are very weak in the early stages, but they have the potential to transform into dragons.
However, the Evergreen Worm and Bamboo Flower Snake must evolve to the Emperor level, and no Beast Tamer with the ability to raise a pet beast to that level would contract with these two types.
With money, isn’t it more appealing to just buy a dragon-type pet beast directly? Why waste so much effort?
Compared to the first two, the Little Leapfish only needs to evolve to a high-level pet beast to acquire dragon attributes.
The Alliance even gave it a very domineering name, the Water Tyrant Dragon.
But if one dreams of the Little Leapfish leaping through the dragon gate so easily, they would be mistaken.
When the Alliance first announced the Little Leapfish could evolve into the Water Tyrant Dragon, the market price for the Little Leapfish shot up from 6,000 Alliance Currency to 600,000 Alliance Currency.
Even so, the Little Leapfish still sold out at that time, the demand far exceeding supply.
After all, this price was much cheaper compared to buying a dragon-type pet beast directly.
These days, who doesn’t dream of contracting a dragon-type pet beast?
The Little Leapfish gave them hope.
Unfortunately, the dream didn’t last long: statistics showed that out of the same group of Beast Tamers who bought the Little Leapfish, only one in ten million successfully raised a Water Tyrant Dragon. The odds were comparable to winning the lottery.
Thus, the price of Little Leapfish soon dropped back down.
Yaobao’s evolution into an unknown new form, gaining a psychic series attribute, was something Qiao Sang had never considered, but she wasn’t surprised when she found out.
With the Golden Finger already in play, Yaobao learning high-tier skills during the beginner stage, and encounters with creatures like the Treasure-seeking Ghost, which had the two rare attributes of psychic and spectral, what else couldn’t happen?
Qiao Sang’s gaze became focused on the topmost part of the data, her expression turned serious.
Why would Yaobao’s evolutionary form’s name appear here?
Could it be that the Flame Listening Dog has already appeared within the Alliance?
That’s impossible, if so, the Alliance would’ve definitely made an announcement.
Qiao Sang pondered for a while and thought of a possibility.
Is it possible that the Flame Listening Dog appeared on another planet and the Alliance doesn’t know about it?
If that’s the case, this Golden Finger is even more powerful than she had thought.
Thinking this, Qiao Sang stopped deliberating on the issue.
What she should be doing right now is focusing on improving her academic scores, winning against Li Tang Beast Taming High School, and securing the preferential admission policy for the college entrance exams. Other planets and such were still too far out of reach for her.
Qiao Sang continued to read on.
The trait gained one addition, but it requires an opponent to close in and attack first before its body temperature rises, emitting flames and scorching the opponent.
To put it simply, it’s a trait that needs to take a hit first; only then can the flames on its body touch the opponent, thus having a certain chance of causing a burn status.
Why are fire attribute beast’s traits all so tragic…
Qiao Sang couldn’t help but comment sarcastically.
Three new skills had been added.
She knew Telekinesis.
Incorporeal Flame refers to colorless flames. The power doesn’t seem to have changed much from regular flames, but being invisible is definitely a great advantage in battle.
However, experienced professional Beast Tamers will notice the distortion around the Incorporeal Flame and take precautions against it.
The Alliance seems to rank it as a high-tier skill.
If Yaobao hadn’t learned Mars Rain, she might have gotten excited about it.
But since Yaobao learned a high-tier skill in the beginner stage, evolving to the intermediate stage with a high-tier skill didn’t faze her.
Qiao Sang directed her attention to the last skill listed.
Qiao Sang felt a bit embarrassed; she knew most common skills, even if not from textbooks, then from competitions through the explanations of commentators, so she could broadly understand what most skills did.
But she didn’t know about Touch-Know Force…
Qiao Sang quickly had a guess: this probably wasn’t a combat-related skill.
As for what exactly it was and its use, she would have to look it up online.
After a quick review of the Beast Taming Codex, Qiao Sang’s consciousness returned to reality.
She was quite pleased with her performance this time.
Facing the new evolution of Yaobao, she didn’t look foolish at all, and she remained quite calm even after learning about the addition of psychic abilities to its attributes.
Qiao Sang felt that her mental strength had improved significantly over the past month. From now on, no matter what situation she encountered, she could stay calm and keep her composure.
However, the next second, she was slapped in the face by her own assumption.
“Holy shit!” Qiao Sang nearly had a heart attack when she saw Xiao Xunbao so close to her face.
Xiao Xunbao, frightened, teleported onto its beast tamer’s head and, with its claws, frantically grabbed two tufts of hair as it looked around anxiously.
Yaobao also looked around, alert.
“It’s okay, it’s okay,” Qiao Sang hurriedly said.
It was indeed embarrassing to be scared by her own pet beast, but she couldn’t blame herself. She was confident that anyone who opened their eyes to find a head so close to their own would be startled.
Xiao Xunbao, realizing what had happened, looked evasive and was a bit sheepish.
Her beast tamer was too timid; it couldn’t be blamed.
“Xiao Xunbao, you can let go of my hair now…”
Xiao Xunbao awkwardly released its grip.
With all the commotion, it had forgotten to mention its desire to evolve.
Now without the pain on her scalp, Qiao Sang could finally start thinking about what to do next.
Yaobao was now too big; the dorm room at Litian Royal Beast High School might be bigger than at other high schools.
But the space she was allotted was only about eight square meters, and with a bed and a wardrobe, there was virtually no room left to move.
She needed to find a way to move out…
But at the moment, that seemed impossible…
Suddenly, Qiao Sang had an idea and excitedly said, “Yaobao, now that you have telekinesis, can you hover like Xiao Xunbao?”
Yaobao cocked its head.
Like the game we usually play?
Can I float without my little buddy?
If its own beast tamer said so, it must be right.
Yaobao tapped into the energy within its body.
Due to too much energy and excessive telekinesis, Yaobao banged directly into the ceiling.
“Yaobao, are you okay?” Qiao Sang watched with a bit of pity.
Yaobao did not fall as Qiao Sang thought it might, but excitedly stayed up on the ceiling, calling out.
It was flying! It could fly too!
Soon enough, Yaobao began to regulate the energy within its body to control how high it floated.
Xiao Xunbao watched this scene in amazement.
It floated over to Yaobao and started circling around.
Its appearance and abilities had changed; was this evolution?
Yaobao had high natural talent, and after learning the skill Mars Rain, its control over the energy within had reached a certain level. Now, after a few trials, it could use telekinesis quite adeptly.
Qiao Sang nodded to herself as she watched Yaobao float up and down in the room using its telekinesis.
She really was a genius, having thought of getting Yaobao to move around the room above by using telekinesis.
This way, although the space was still confined, at least there was some, and they could directly practice releasing telekinetic power.
