Chapter 004 Chapter 4

Xia Muqing has two main ideas about the training of the little hurricane dog.

She could have made her own decision, but after seeing the performance of the little hurricane dog during the day, Xia Muqing moved two chairs and carefully carried the little white dog on them.

"Come on, let's have a family meeting."

Little Swift Dog: “……?”

The little hurricane dog didn't understand what was going on, but seeing Xia Muqing's serious look, it sat upright with its little tail resting on the chair.

Xia Muqing: "Today's meeting is mainly to discuss your future training direction. I have two ideas. The first is that Xiaofeng, you must work hard to overcome your fear, improve your attack and defense capabilities, and become a powerful pentagonal attacking profound beast."

"Secondly, we need to play to our strengths and avoid our weaknesses. Continue training your speed and reflexes, and learn wind and spirit-based skills. Speed ​​is the only way to defeat all martial arts. As long as you're fast enough, the enemy's moves won't hit you. As for attacking... we'll find a way later."

"Well, what do you choose?"

Little Swift Dog: "...Awooo?"

The little hurricane dog was confused.

Is this kind of thing decided by the mysterious beast?

Isn’t it just what the master tells us to learn?

But when it raised its head, it met Xia Muqing's encouraging eyes.

"Tell me what you think. Your wishes are important to me."

Xia Muqing smiled at the little hurricane dog and said, "I only have one request: you must stick to the path you've chosen. But don't worry, I'll always be with you."

After a few seconds of silence, the little hurricane dog raised its paw and pressed it on the table.

"Ouch."

I want to choose the second one!

"The second option?" Xia Muqing nodded in understanding. "No problem. Then we have to work hard on our speed."

"Don't think this path is easy. Compared to the first one, this one might be even more difficult..."

Little Swift Dog: “……?”

Wait, is it too late to regret now?

Xia Muqing changed the subject: "But if you succeed, you will be even more powerful."

She stretched out her hands, gesturing in the air. "Who says a Swifthound has to fight in close combat and learn 'Bite' and 'Charge'?"

"If you can reach the extreme speed, you can even become a ranged mage—you know what a mage is, right? It's about not getting in close, but just unleashing skills from a distance and bombarding the enemy in succession."

Xia Muqing described a bright future, and the little hurricane dog's eyes lit up.

Ranged! Mage!

Great! It wants to learn, but it doesn't like close combat!

Xia Muqing made the decision: "Then it's decided!"

"Let's train our speed to the maximum first, then learn the 'Wind Swirl' skill!"

The little hurricane dog raised its head and cheered: "Woo!"

Wind! Wind!

Looking at the excited look of the little hurricane dog, Xia Muqing's eyebrows curved.

In fact, at the beginning, she wanted to finalize the second training method.

Different from ordinary hurricane dogs, Xiaofeng not only has an outstanding speed attribute, but also has a mental attribute exceeding the excellent line of 90 points.

This is due to its talent for danger perception, and is also the basis for it to learn more wind-attribute skills and large-scale attack skills.

Although this method is unconventional, it perfectly fits the five-dimensional attribute of the little hurricane dog, which is "extremely biased". In the future, it will correspond to a hidden evolutionary route of the mythical beast level.

Of course, it’s still a long way to go to evolve into a divine beast, but at least we are on that path.

Other hurricane dogs do not have such high mental attributes.

Even if they want to learn the "wind roll", they may not be able to learn it.

…

For the next week, Xia Muqing took the little hurricane dog to do various training every day.

Zhu Ning knew that she was preparing for the exam, so he gave her a long vacation so that she could prepare with peace of mind, and he continued to pay her salary.

To be honest, Xia Muqing felt a little guilty.

Xiaofeng is also very competitive. He has great talent, and this training route is his own choice, so he works very hard during practice.

Xia Muqing was afraid that it would not get enough nutrition, so she fed it a lot of nutritious milk every day, combined with other nutritious foods and physical strength potions. In addition to the cost of renting the venue and training skills, it can be said that the 30,000 star coins saved in the bank card were almost all spent on Xiaofeng.

Breeding mysterious beasts is simply a waste of money.

Fortunately, a week later, the little hurricane dog finally learned the new skills.

In the training ground, Xia Muqing pointed.

"Wind!"

The little hurricane dog leaped into the air, a pale blue aura lingering around it: "Awooo!"

A rapidly swirling green airflow spewed out of its mouth. After it was half a meter away from the body, it quickly expanded into a whirlwind as wide as an arm, and strong winds were blowing all around the venue.

The target of the simulated battle was caught in the whirlwind and quickly disappeared.

A line of records also appears on the display:

[Congratulations on your victory in the D-rank simulation battle! Your attack score is: 3098.]

"Breaking through 3,000 points?" Xia Muqing raised her hand. "Xiaofeng, well done!"

The little hurricane dog pounced over happily and clapped its little paw on her palm as a high-five.

The staff nearby watched for a long time and couldn't help but clap their hands: "Not bad, the attack score has reached 3,000, your move is not something that ordinary profound beasts can withstand."

"I never thought your little dog could learn the Wind Swirl skill. I was wrong about it a few days ago."

Xia Muqing smiled and said, "This is just the beginning."

In fact, not only did the little hurricane dog learn to whirlwind, its movement speed also improved significantly, and its highest score on the dodge machine in the arcade exceeded 10,000.

At this moment, it was jumping and moving around the venue, as fast as a flash of white snow, and Xia Muqing couldn't keep up with it.

Xia Muqing was very satisfied with this rate of progress.

But we can't slack off either.

Xia Muqing waved at the little hurricane dog, and when it came running over with its tail wagging, she raised her hand and patted its soft little head encouragingly: "Xiaofeng, let's continue."

"Next, try to condense two whirlwinds. Pay attention to distraction control. Can you do it?"

…

"Returning to school the day after tomorrow? Give your training plan to the teacher for review tonight?"

At home in the evening, Xia Muqing received a notice from the school, and then received a call from Xu Ling.

Xu Ling was a little nervous: "What should I do, Mu Qing? I'm so confused! I didn't expect to have to write a training plan so soon. I haven't decided yet. Do you think my Mingyueying should go the offensive route or the support route?"

Xia Muqing: "Uh, why don't you grab it with both hands?"

Xu Ling: "No, the evolutionary paths are different!"

"If it's an offensive strategy, I should teach it the skills 'Seduction' and 'Sound Demon', so it can evolve into a Demon Bird. If it's a support strategy, it should learn 'Calm' and 'Strengthen', so it can evolve into a Star Warbler..."

"Stop, stop, stop," Xia Muqing said, feeling both amused and helpless. "Don't be so ungrateful! Many of the evolutionary paths of profound beasts haven't even been mastered by humans. Each of the profound beasts that have been discovered so far has essentially only one way to evolve. Your Mingyueying already has two known evolutionary paths, and she still has options. She's truly blessed."

Xu Ling: "I am happy, but I am still conflicted."

Xia Muqing thought for a moment and said, "In that case, why not ask Ming Yueying what she thinks?"

Xu Ling: “……?”

Is this possible?

Xia Muqing's suggestion helped her open the door to a new world.

Xu Ling excitedly ran to ask, but a few minutes later she called back with a sad face: "It's over, Mingyueying said that only the young birds have to make choices, and it wants both."

Xia Muqing: “……?”

What have you watched with it recently?

Xia Muqing pondered: "Actually, I want both...it's not impossible..."

Mingyueying does have another evolutionary path, which is extremely powerful, capable of both attacking and supporting, and its power surpasses the other two.

It’s just that the conditions are more stringent and it hasn’t been discovered yet.

However, all the conditions were clearly written in her "Mysterious Beast Atlas".

One of them is to carry out dual-training training.

"I don't think this breeding method is a big deal. Doesn't a Divine Beast Master named Cheng also have a dual-line Moon Oriole?"

Xia Muqing suggested to Xu Ling: "Just let it learn everything first. Tell it that since it's its own choice, it will take double the training time and it must work twice as hard on weekdays."

Xu Ling: “???”

My goodness, is there anyone who can fool the mysterious beast like this?

I learned it!

After persuading Xu Ling, Xia Muqing also opened a form and began to fill out the training plan for the little hurricane dog.

Unlike the conflicted Xu Ling, Xia Muqing had already thought clearly about the direction of Xiaofeng's training, so she wrote furiously and finished filling out the form in no time.

Save and send.

Over, the homework is done!

…

Late that night.

In an apartment building in the city, Teacher Li finally compiled the training plans for all students and sat down at his desk to begin marking them.

His wife stood at the door of the study, holding the sleepy child in her arms. She pushed the door open with some dissatisfaction: "Xiaobao is asleep. Can't we check the homework tomorrow?"

Teacher Li sighed, "Time is tight. The divisions are less than a month away. If a student takes a wrong turn, wouldn't that be a huge delay?"

"If I approve it early and point out problems sooner, they still have time to correct it. Every day earlier means a day of profit."

"Okay, leave me alone. You and Xiaobao go to sleep first, I'll keep my voice down - and honey, make me another cup of tea before bed, make it stronger."

The wife rolled her eyes but said nothing more and turned to make tea.

Teacher Li opened the training plan, looked through it carefully bit by bit, and wrote down some notes from time to time.

He is an old teacher who has been in the industry for almost ten years. Although he has not become a powerful beastmaster, his years of experience have accumulated a deep understanding of the cultivation of mysterious beasts.

Teacher Li knows everything about the most common types of contracted profound beasts that students acquire each year, the most cost-effective training directions, the order in which skills should be learned, and even the scoring preferences of the assessment judges.

Now, when reviewing students' plans, he was very familiar with it and could point out the problems directly.

Most of the students' proposals were relatively normal. After all, since it was a major subject selection, everyone was quite cautious. However, while marking the proposals, Teacher Li frowned at one of them.

"This mysterious beast..."

It's a bit beyond his knowledge base.

Glancing at the student's name, Teacher Li nodded slightly in understanding: "So it's Liu Pan's."

This student's family is wealthy, so of course he can afford better and rarer mysterious beasts.

Teacher Li picked out this plan and put it aside, preparing to review the information later and then give some suggestions.

Look at the next one...Mingyueying?

Teacher Li frowned again.

Although this mysterious beast is not very common, he is still quite familiar with it. It’s just this training plan... isn’t it a bit too greedy to cultivate both attack and auxiliary systems?

I’m afraid that what I learn will end up being a hodgepodge.

Teacher Li was a little conflicted and wanted to give it a cross, but Xu Ling attached the basis for training at the end.

——Xia Muqing helped with the revision, making it well-reasoned and well-founded.

"Chengcheng's Divine Beast Master? He also has a dual-element Moon Oriole, so this training direction is feasible?"

Teacher Li was helpless.

He really didn't know this.

Without investigation, there is no right to speak, so Teacher Li had to put this document aside and wait for follow-up research.

After reading two tough papers in a row, Teacher Li pinched his brows tiredly, picked up the strong tea and took a sip to refresh himself.

"Students nowadays are very creative..."

Thinking about it, he turned to the next article.

Three seconds later.

"puff!"

A mouthful of strong tea splattered all over the keyboard, and Teacher Li hurriedly wiped it away with shaking hands. He knew every word on the plan, but he couldn't understand a single paragraph!

Windhound, right? He is familiar with it, but what the hell is the ranged mage system?

It would be fine if he didn't learn Bite and Charge, but he could tolerate learning Wind Roll, after all, Gale Hound was considered a wind-type skill - but what about 'Strong Wind Blow', 'Cloud Waterfall' and 'Step on the Moon'?

Is this kid training the Galehound as a wind spirit?

There is also an evolutionary path. Of course, the Gale Dog will evolve into the Violent Giant Dog! What did she fill in, Fengluo Lord?

This is a name he made up himself!

"Who filled out this plan? Xia Muqing?!"

Teacher Li slammed the table angrily.

He seriously suspected that all the lessons he had taught in the past year had been in vain.

"Of all the homework assignments, yours is the most outrageous!"
