The level of mental power has increased, and the level of lightning absorption has also increased... Two new traits have been added... Ancient Dragon Body... Qiao Sang's heart trembled.
The body of an ancient dragon?!
She had heard of this trait before. Pets with the body of an ancient dragon can avoid certain special erosions, such as poisoning and burns. But wasn't it said that this trait could only appear in ancient pet races?
She remembered that the Little Dragon race was not an ancient race, so how could it have an ancient dragon body?
Qiao Sang was a little confused for a moment. She thought her knowledge was pretty good, but she didn't expect that Tingbao would always do things that she couldn't understand.
For example, I remember hearing something in the pet egg, and like now, a characteristic that is basically impossible for it to have appeared.
It seems Tingbao's elders are even more mysterious than she imagined...
Could it be that one of Tingbao's elders was from an ancient race?
That's impossible. Although it's possible for a Little Thunder Dragon's species to interbreed with other species and produce a Little Thunder Dragon egg, generally, the bloodline purity of pets born from non-species pairings is definitely not high.
Although Tingbao is not completely pureblooded, its bloodline purity has reached 87%, a level that could only be achieved by two pets of the same kind combining together.
Qiao Sang pondered for a long time but still couldn't figure out why, so he looked down at the next characteristic.
Resonance of heavenly thunder...
Qiao Sang's eyes lit up; he hadn't expected Tingbao to awaken this trait at the general level.
Thunder Resonance is a relatively rare trait among electric-type pets. Pets with this trait can connect with the lightning energy generated between heaven and earth and continuously recover.
It is said that only high-level electric-type pets, those that are extremely compatible with electric energy, can awaken this trait.
It's a pity that Thunder Resonance can only be used when lightning is generated in nature. Otherwise, if it could connect with the lightning energy it generates or that of its opponent, and with the Thunder Absorption property, Thunder Treasure could continuously restore its status and energy...
Qiao Sang gathered her thoughts and looked at the skills section.
Dragon Dance, a mid-tier dragon-type skill, increases a pet's speed and attack. The higher the proficiency level, the better the effect.
Scale Shot, a high-level Dragon-type skill, allows Dragon-type pets to launch their own scales as attacks...
Qiao Sang fell silent, and the image of Gang Bao wielding his Wing Blade with his hairless body subconsciously surfaced in his mind.
When Tingbao uses Scale Shot, reaching the ultimate level, he won't launch everything like Gangbao, leaving him completely bare...
Qiao Sang imagined Tingbao yelling "Tingting!" during a match, then launching all the scales off his body at his opponent, leaving him completely bald. The image sent chills down her spine, and she quickly shook her head to banish the image from her mind.
No, dragon-type pets are proud and would never appear in public completely bald...
Although Tingbao is not particularly arrogant, he probably wouldn't do something like going completely bald.
With that thought, Qiao Sang felt relieved and focused her gaze on the last skill that had been awakened.
Ten million volts...
Holy crap, it actually awakened tens of millions of volts!
Qiao Sang was both surprised and unsurprised. She was surprised that Tingbao had actually evolved and awakened the same skill after being attacked by tens of millions of volts. However, Tingbao had awakened the corresponding hundred thousand volts and million volts after each evolution, so she had already thought about this. In addition, Ya Bao and the others had basically awakened super-class skills at the general level, so she was not particularly surprised.
If Tingbao can withstand billions of volts later...
No, impossible... Megavolt is already a god-tier skill. Let alone finding a pet that knows Megavolt, even if we did, Tingbao absolutely couldn't withstand it. Moreover, Tingbao's next evolution path isn't about withstanding Megavolt attacks...
Qiao Sang dismissed the unrealistic thoughts in her mind and her consciousness returned to reality.
At this moment, Michaela had already put down his phone, and Penjami had also disappeared from the spot.
"What were you thinking about just now?" Michaela asked.
"I'm wondering what kind of pet could give birth to a cub like Tingbao, who has inherited memories from the egg and is also highly intelligent," Qiao Sang said without hesitation.
Gangbao glanced silently at his own beast tamer.
“Tingting…”
Tingbao showed an expression that was both embarrassed and slightly proud.
Michaela, unsuspecting, said, "Perhaps we'll have a chance to meet again in the future."
No sooner had she finished speaking than Penjami appeared out of thin air in the living room with Jacqueline.
They came so fast… Qiao Sang turned her head to look, just about to greet them.
Jacqueline spoke first:
"Wow, they advanced to the top ten with a score of 6:0."
“I didn’t expect that either,” Qiao Sang said.
To be honest, she really didn't expect it. Generally speaking, the opponents you encounter in the later stages of a competition become stronger and stronger, but in this competition, the most formidable opponents were mostly encountered in the first few rounds.
However, now that we've reached the top ten, the remaining opponents won't be so easy to defeat.
Jacqueline laughed:
"What's with the modesty? I think you're the only one among all the contestants who made it to the top ten with a score of 6:0."
Qiao Sang felt a little embarrassed by what was said:
"This round of matches isn't completely over yet."
“Alright, let’s check Lei Xiaolong first.” Michaela interrupted their conversation.
Jacqueline immediately swallowed back what she was about to say, went to Tingbao's side, turned on the device, and helped with the examination.
When she received Lei Nilong's message, she was neither shocked nor surprised. She was only stunned for a moment before easily accepting the news.
There was only one thought in his mind: it seems normal for the dragon-type pets that Qiao Sang raised to evolve faster.
Tingbao cooperated quietly.
After listening to the conversation between its own beast tamer and that annoying human, its dissatisfaction and anger had subsided considerably.
Time passed slowly as Jacqueline carefully examined the items. Suddenly, her brows furrowed.
"Is something wrong?" Qiao Sang asked quickly when she noticed her expression was off.
“Lei Xiaolong’s bloodline doesn’t seem as strong as before,” Jacqueline said in a slightly somber tone.
Generally speaking, the more a pet evolves, the more concentrated its bloodline becomes. It is rare for the purity of the bloodline to decrease instead of increase after evolution.
The purer a pet's bloodline, the higher its talent, and the more likely it is to reach the racial limit. A decrease in bloodline purity is not a good thing.
Upon hearing this, Qiao Sang immediately thought of the characteristics of Ting Bao's awakened ancient dragon body, and a thought struck her.
With her cheat-like abilities, whether a creature is pureblood or not isn't a big problem for her. Moreover, with Tingbao's intelligence and talent, she's in no way inferior to some pureblooded pets.
"How could this be?" Michaela asked, frowning.
Jacqueline pondered for a moment and said, "I've thought of a possibility."
“What?” Qiao Sang asked.
Tingbao pricked up his ears.
“The Thunder Dragons may not both be offspring of the Little Thunder Dragons,” Jacqueline said.
Michaela's brow furrowed even more deeply.
Qiao Sang was taken aback at first, then quickly asked, "Tingbao's bloodline concentration is quite high, it was 87% last time. In this case, is it possible that two pets of different species have fused together?"
“It’s possible.” Jacqueline nodded slightly and said, “This situation is rare, but it’s not unheard of. However, there is a prerequisite for this situation: the pet beast of the Little Thunder Dragon race must be an absolutely pureblood for this to have such a chance.”
Upon hearing this, Michaela instinctively wanted to say something, but she quickly remembered how Tingbao had chopped her several times before, and swallowed her words.
Absolutely pureblood... that's 100% Little Thunder Dragon bloodline... Qiao Sang also looked at Ting Bao, her eyes filled with admiration: I knew your elders were extraordinary.
Tingbao observed its beast tamer's expression and, seeing no sign of disdain, silently breathed a sigh of relief. Then, as if remembering something, it adopted a serious expression and barked twice:
"Tingting?"
"Tingting?"
If that's the case, will its bloodline concentration decrease over time? Will it become less intelligent? Will its talent diminish?
It's no wonder that this pet beast awakened its inherited memories while still in its egg. If it were Ya Bao, it wouldn't have thought of these questions... Qiao Sang sighed inwardly, then turned to help translate Ting Bao's words to Teacher Ya Kelin and ask her questions.
Jacqueline pondered for a moment and said, "It's hard to say about the bloodline concentration. We'll have to test it again after the next evolution. The intelligence definitely won't change..."
Hearing this, Tingbao breathed a sigh of relief.
“Tingting…”
As long as I don't get dumber...
Jacqueline continued, "It's hard to say about talent, since there are so few examples like this. We can observe them later."
She paused, then added, "If Lei Xiaolong's other half is of the dragon type, he shouldn't have any problem learning dragon-related skills. But if he's not of the dragon type..."
Jacqueline paused at this point.
If he weren't a dragon, his talent for learning dragon skills might be lower... Josan picked up where Jacqueline left off in his mind.
“Tingting…”
After hearing this, Tingbao's heart, which had just settled down, started to pound again.
If my talent for learning dragon-related skills diminishes, that annoying human will probably start badmouthing me again, and my own beastmaster probably won't listen to reason...
Thinking of this, Tingbao's expression towards Michaela immediately turned unfriendly.
Michaela pondered for two seconds and asked, "I remember that it's possible to detect what bloodlines a pet has mixed with."
Upon hearing this, Qiao Sang's eyes lit up. She was extremely curious about the pet that could awaken Tingbao's ancient dragon body.
“It is possible, but the relevant testing equipment is located at the Imperial Beast Taming Academy,” Jacqueline said. “Sending the blood samples there will take a long time.”
“That’s no problem, I can have Guilunsel teleport me,” Jossan quickly replied.
Jacqueline paused for a moment, then laughed, "I almost forgot about Guilunsel."
As an ordinary trainer at the school, she rarely had the opportunity to use the Guilunsair system...
“Let’s start harvesting now. I’ll contact Guilunsel,” Michaela said.
After saying that, he took out his phone and sent a message.
“Okay.” Jacqueline said as she took out syringes and test tubes from the box she had brought.
"Tingting?"
Tingbao looked at his beast tamer.
"It's just a little blood draw, it won't hurt. It's mainly to test what race your other bloodline belongs to," Josang said gently.
"Tingting".
Tingbao nodded.
Jacqueline took the syringe and approached, inserting it into the area where there were no scales to cover the wound. She successfully drew blood, placed it in a test tube, and sealed it.
Before long, ripples appeared on the TV screen in the living room, and a familiar mechanical claw emerged from them.
Jacqueline handed over the test tube.
The mechanical claw quickly retracted into the television screen.
“I will urge the people at the school to try to get the results within a week,” Jacqueline said.
“Okay,” Michaela nodded.
After discussing the rest of Tingbao's situation and exchanging a few pleasantries, Penjamei and Yakelin disappeared from the spot.
Michaela glanced at Tingbao with a complicated expression, then organized her thoughts and slowly said:
"The influence of bloodline is both significant and insignificant. As long as it's not a purebred pet that suddenly becomes a non-purebred, the difference in talent can be completely compensated for by an experienced beast tamer."
Tingbao looked surprised and glanced at Michaela, thinking to himself that he hadn't expected this human to be able to speak human language.
“I know,” Jossan said.
Michaela continued, "It'll be tough on you; you might have to spend more time training Tingbao in the future."
This means that the decrease in bloodline purity will still affect Tingbao's ability to learn skills in the future.
Tingbao understood, his face instantly darkened, and without saying a word, crackling yellow lightning shot up from his body and struck at Michaela.
Michaela: "!!!"
Michaela quickly dodged to the side.
No, she phrased it so tactfully, how could Tingbao still understand?!
Teacher, you know Tingbao is incredibly smart, can't you just tell me some things in private...? Qiao Sang had a slight headache and mentally complained.
In the blink of an eye, arcs of electricity reappeared on Tingbao's body.
Qiao Sang's eyelids twitched, and she shouted, "Tingbao! Stop!"
...
Three days later.
Villa, living room.
8:40 PM.
Josan, Michaela, and Toothbone gathered around the television, watching the live broadcast of the match and talking amongst themselves:
"This game is almost over, right?"
"Teeth!"
"Ya Bao, who do you think will win this game?"
"Teeth!"
"Steel Power." Steel Treasure held a different opinion.
A few minutes later, the pet supported by Ya Bao was bombed from the sky and fell to the ground.
The camera zoomed in, and the pet appeared to be dizzy.
The mechanical-type pet referee came to its side, observed it for a moment, and then waved the flag in the direction of the other pet tamer.
The crowd cheered.
"Steel Power." Steel Treasure called out calmly, indicating that it seemed I had guessed correctly.
"Teeth..."
Ya Bao sighed.
"Searching..."
While brushing his teeth, Little Treasure called out, "Brother Tooth Treasure, don't be sad. I remember you've never guessed right about winning or losing."
"Teeth?"
Ya Bao paused for a moment, then gave a "Really?" look.
Qiao Sang watched this scene with a smile.
A few minutes later, after finishing a series of analyses and congratulatory remarks, the TV presenter announced loudly:
"The list of contestants who have advanced to the top ten has just been released. Next, let's take a look at the group assignments for the next round, from the top ten to the top five!"
P.S.: Happy New Year everyone!!! (End of Chapter)
