Chapter 050 Chapter 50 (Second update)
The essence of a wind chime is actually an amplifier, amplifying subtle fluctuations of profound energy through a special circuit, thereby enhancing its effectiveness.
Therefore, the Mysterious Silver Wind Chime can actually be used by any Mysterious Beast, but in terms of attributes, it is only compatible with the Gale Hound.
For the little caterpillar, this is also a very practical object. It can spread and amplify the little bit of emotional energy it absorbs, increasing its power several times.
After all, its power base is small, so it is easier to improve.
Xia Muqing thought for a moment and said, "Xiaofeng, in that case, you should take Xiaozi with you more often in the future. Let it use your Black Silver Wind Chime more often when it's free."
In addition, Xia Muqing also wants to cultivate the little caterpillar's habit of actively absorbing emotional fluctuations.
Strong emotions can have a powerful impact on the mind. Perhaps using this method can help the little caterpillar recover quickly?
…
In the following period of time, apart from attending classes, Xia Muqing focused most of her energy on taking care of the little caterpillar.
As for the other two mysterious beasts, the little Swift Dog was always well-behaved and devoted to training. Its rudimentary divine skills continued to improve steadily, leaving Xia Muqing with no need to worry. The little koi, though a bit playful, fortunately had a competitive streak. With the Swift Dog by its side to check and encourage it, it continued to improve its mastery of its skills. With the help of the Dragon Pill, its attributes gradually increased to 92.
Perhaps due to his talent for emotional induction and life energy, the little caterpillar's ability to express his own emotions gradually improved after continuously absorbing the emotions of those around him.
Now, through telepathy, it is able to form short words to convey its thoughts.
Especially half a month later, Cheng Zizhuo sent an "energy bead" from Yandu. It was said that he had pestered his senior sister to get it from her laboratory.
It was an artificial treasure extracted from a unique mineral in another dimension and capable of absorbing various forms of energy. Xia Muqing asked the little caterpillar to try it and found that it could indeed temporarily store the absorbed emotional energy inside, making it convenient for repeated comprehension in daily life.
Although you can only input one emotion at a time, it's still pretty good.
So, a string was tied to the little caterpillar's round head, holding a pea-sized, shapely bead, as beautiful as a deep-sea pearl necklace. Furthermore, the bead would change color depending on the emotion it absorbed: pure white when happy, pale red when angry, and deep blue when sad...
To use the words of Koi Fish: It's like wearing a neon light around your neck.
The little caterpillar loves the blingbling beads very much. He often uses his two antennae to lift the beads up high and crawls around the house, making them sparkle and twinkle.
Everything is going smoothly.
About two months later, the Swift Dog finally mastered the power of explosiveness in the competition, and the Little Koi's "Leaping Dragon Gate" training gradually reached a bottleneck.
Xia Muqing pondered: "It's time to teach them some new skills."
The little koi was fine, but the main thing was the hurricane dog. After the first stage evolution, it had many new skills to choose from and learn. If it had not been preempted by the prototype of the magical skill and squeezed out the training time, Xia Muqing should have taken it to the next stage of training long ago.
When learning new skills, one must first ensure that the abilities being learned are fully compatible with the power system currently mastered by the Wind Dog. Xia Muqing carefully read the illustrated guide from top to bottom and selected three alternative options.
The first skill is "Blizzard", the advanced skill of Strong Wind.
The original wind power was integrated with the water power, transforming it into a large-scale killing move combining storm and ice blade. Once used, the sky and the earth would change color.
Originally, the Gale Dog did not possess water-based powers, but as it worked closely with the Koi Fish during the competition, and was nurtured with the Black Silver Wind Chime for such a long time after returning, the power of water and ice gradually merged into its own ability system, echoing its original wind-based abilities.
This skill is good, but the difficulty lies in that it is an ability that can only be learned after the second-level evolution. It is advanced learning for the little hurricane dog and is extremely difficult.
The second skill is expansion.
This skill is commonly learned by a standard Swifthound after its first-stage evolution, paving the way for the Berserker's subsequent second-stage evolution into a Berserker Giant. Using this skill allows the Mystical Beast to expand to 3-4 times its original size. For a Wind Luo Beast, already significantly larger than a Berserker, this can transform it into a massive beast that obscures the heavens and sun.
This skill is relatively simple. Xia Muqing estimates that Xiaofeng can master it in about a month, but the problem is that the flexibility of using the enlarged berserk dog will be reduced. She doesn't know whether this situation will also occur with Xiaofeng.
Moreover, this is a melee skill, which does not match the mage route that the little hurricane dog wants to take.
The third skill is the advanced skill of Yunpu, and it is also an essential skill in the training of Xiangyun Beast.
It's called, mist.
After using this skill, the Mystic Beast summons a vast cloud of fog, scattering its form within it, making it omnipresent and all-seeing. Enemies seeking to defeat it must dispel the entire fog, allowing the Mystic Beast, concealed within the fog, to attack from any corner at any moment.
But this skill is actually more suitable for elemental beasts like Xiangyun Beast. For Xiaofeng, who is unable to disperse his body into elemental particles, it seems a bit useless and its effect is similar to Yunpu.
After explaining the pros and cons of the three skills, Xia Muqing asked, "Xiaofeng, which one do you want to learn the most?"
The Swift Dog squatted on the ground obediently, supporting itself with its little paws, looking thoughtful.
This is also a major feature of their family's breeding of mysterious beasts. Xia Muqing always explains the situation clearly to the mysterious beasts and lets them judge the direction of growth on their own, instead of just giving orders to the mysterious beasts like most beastmasters.
The Swift Dog thought for a long time, then slowly raised its little paw and said, "Woo."
The first skill, "Blizzard", is of great interest to it.
Although it is a second-level skill, it is not impossible to learn it - it can learn "Cloud Waterfall" in advance before evolving, and after evolving, it has even comprehended the prototype of the magical skill. How can a "Blizzard" defeat it?
Seeing that Gale Dog was determined, Xia Muqing smiled and nodded, then ticked the box on her notebook.
"Okay, let's take care of the 'Snowstorm'. What about the others?"
Little Swift Dog: "Woo!"
I want to learn how to "expand"! If nothing else, at least it looks impressive!
After such a long period of training, it has grown a lot and is no longer as averse to close combat as before. Besides, this skill is relatively simple and can be learned quickly without delaying the learning of other skills.
After learning it, you can also use it as a strategic reserve. In short, you can not use it, but you cannot not know it.
“Ouch!”
As for slower reaction... then just practice more?
In this world, there is no difficulty that cannot be solved by extra practice. If there is, then double the practice!
Xia Muqing nodded.
She was so happy to see such high fighting spirit in her own mysterious beast, she immediately picked up the pen and ticked the second column.
"What about the mist? Are you still learning?"
"Xiaofeng, I don't think this is necessary. Cloud Falls is enough for now, and I don't want you to assign yourself too many tasks. A balance between work and rest is more conducive to growth."
The Swift Dog licked its paw and tilted its furry little head.
"Ouch?"
Huawu doesn't want to learn, but actually... it wants to learn something else.
Xia Muqing: “……?”
The Swift Dog stretched out its claws and scratched at the air, describing the skill effect it wanted. Previously, during Fairy Caiyun's lecture, she had raised a question: although the Swift Dog had a strong premonition talent, it actually failed to fully utilize this talent in combat.
Although the Swift Dog didn't say it, he actually kept it in mind.
After hearing this, Xia Muqing frowned slightly.
She was aware of this problem. Previously, Xiaofeng had used his "Danger Presence" ability primarily to dodge attacks, create distance, and then launch spell attacks. But now, with Xiaofeng's increasing speed, wider range, and stronger effects, his once-powerful ability seemed useless, rarely playing a crucial role.
"In that case..."
Xia Muqing closed her eyes slightly, opened the atlas in her mind, and searched carefully again.
She got a skill.
——High-level skill, “Time and Space Lock”.
Danger warning is essentially the ability to predict the future, and the future is inextricably linked to the elements of time and space. This is an extremely rare elemental attribute, and Xia Muqing has only seen this time- and space-related skill in game NPCs. The difficulty of practicing it is imaginable.
But the Swift Dog wanted to practice, and Xia Muqing felt that she had to help it find a direction.
"The Space-Time Lock skill is, in simple terms, a confinement skill. By combining predicted future events with reality, it ensures your skills have a 100% accuracy rate of success. Xiaofeng, this is difficult to explain, and I can only share this much with you. Furthermore, there are no Mystical Beasts with this skill to teach you right now, so you'll have to rely on your own understanding."
"How about... you consider this a long-term goal, as an additional subject besides practicing 'Snowstorm' and 'Expansion'?"
"Let's take it slow. We don't need to expect quick results, and we don't necessarily need to master this skill. As long as you can find a way to fully utilize your unique characteristics during your research, we'll be successful."
The little Swift Dog received a full task and went to training with great confidence.
The little koi fish flapped its fins and rolled its eyes: "Gulp gurgle."
Alas, silly dog, it received a bunch of learning tasks and was so happy as if it had received a benefit. So, master, what should it learn next?
Looking at the little koi's seemingly complaining but actually very expectant eyes, Xia Muqing didn't know whether to laugh or cry: "You just keep practicing 'Leaping Over the Dragon Gate' until you reach perfection."
In fact, the little koi's current level of "leaping over the dragon gate" has far surpassed that of ordinary koi fish, and it has long reached the level where it can evolve. However, Xia Muqing felt the fluctuations of the mysterious power in its body and always felt that it was not yet saturated, and there should be potential to be tapped.
"Build your foundation to perfection so you can become even stronger after evolving in the future," Xia Muqing touched the little koi's head. "At your stage, quality is more important than quantity. Let's not rush."
After comforting the little koi, Xia Muqing took out her mobile phone and began looking for a reliable teacher on the APP.
"Snowstorm" is a second-level skill, not so easy to arrange, but "Expansion" is still quite common. Xia Muqing flipped through two pages of the app list and happened to see the Wenxue sister she had arranged to meet before online, so she sent a message.
Wenxuejie replied quickly: [Appointment? Gale Dog, enlarged?]
[Okay, sure, no problem! But I have other tasks tomorrow, so I need to start the class earlier. Is 6:30 okay?]
