Chapter 117 Chapter 117
Ark Xiaoxue gathered up all her energy, and her body expanded like a balloon. The highly malleable elemental fluid transformed into the lightest and thinnest material, emitting a radiant glow under its control, and gradually gathered into a familiar shape.
Standing proudly on three legs with wings spread out, it was the Nine-Flame Rooster that had just fought with Lord Feng Luo.
Xia Muqing: “……!”
She looked around Ark in amazement and found that it was really lifelike. The only difference was that Wen Shaohao's Nine-Flame Rooster had bright feathers, while the mysterious beast condensed by Ark Xiaoxue was covered with a faint silver glow, more like it was bathed in moonlight, smooth and elegant.
Not only the appearance, the Silver Nine-Flame Rooster held its head high and chest out, took a deep breath, and suddenly exhaled a wisp of flame!
The flame was also pale, faint as a night fire, but it was very powerful - the flame sprayed out and hit the ground, instantly creating a deep crater in the floor of the battle room that had just been repaired and leveled.
However, after this attack, Ark Xiaoxue's energy was exhausted, and she withered and shrank back into her snowman form. At the same time, she projected a pop-up window in mid-air:
[Mysterious Beast Name: Nine-Flame Rooster]
Energy Level: 14w4
[Specializes in fire attacks, a ranged attack type, presumably excelling in spirit and speed. Defense is relatively weak, making it a potential point of attack...]
Ark delivered a lengthy analysis, leaving Xia Muqing stunned. Crucially, Ark Xiaoxue's analysis was based on a vast database, while also incorporating its own analytical thinking. Many of its conclusions mirrored Xia Muqing's own ideas.
Through the pop-up window of its summary, Xia Muqing vaguely saw the prototype of the system interface.
"These...are all your own analysis?"
Xia Muqing's heart was pounding. "Did you scan the data model of the Nine Flame Rooster during the battle just now?"
The Yin-Yang Butterfly fed the Snowman a mouthful of emotional energy, and Ark Snowman quickly became active again, responding with excited gestures, "Yes, I measured its data during the battle. Master, if you can provide me with more data on the mysterious beasts to scan, I can draw a more accurate analysis."
"Not only can I analyze combat power, I can also predict the evolution of the mysterious beast based on its talent. For example..."
It turned around, and its scanning beam fell on the Shadow Raccoon in Xu Ling's arms. This time, it took longer. Xia Muqing waited patiently for several minutes before receiving a pop-up message:
[Mysterious Beast Name: Shadow Raccoon]
Energy Level: 7908
[It has a lithe build, presumably specializing in speed. Its cub's energy level is significantly above average, suggesting it possesses Xuan Beast traits. The associated traits and probabilities are: Speed (31%), Sharp Claws (32%), and Mental Intimidation (37%). Recommended evolutionary paths are: Shadow Raccoon, Night Raccoon, and Shadow Raccoon (difficulty listed from hardest to easiest).]
This pop-up window contained more speculation than the previous one, and Xu Ling was amazed after reading it. "The probability of the little fox's characteristics? Great, this mental intimidation has the highest probability. Then I should test its mental attack state carefully."
"Mu Qing, your project team is amazing! I've never seen such precise analysis and recommendations for profound beast cultivation on the market!"
Xia Muqing nodded thoughtfully.
There were actually many guides for cultivating profound beasts online, but they were all general, focusing on the common characteristics of most profound beasts. Now, Ark Xiaoxue, through scanning and analysis, had inferred information specific to the Shadow Raccoon in front of her, which was of course more precise.
However, this accuracy is still limited by its basic database and the currently available mysterious beast data.
In Xia Muqing's opinion, the *characteristic of mental intimidation is just good, and it is not at the level of "rare talent" prompted by the system, so Xu Ling's Shadow Raccoon's true talent will only be higher.
But these are not something Ark Xiaoxue can analyze.
"The database still needs to be enriched," Xia Muqing muttered to herself. "Should I organize the data in the atlas and try recording it to Ark?"
As she was thinking, a light bulb went off in her head and her eyes suddenly lit up.
By the way, you can also use Ark Xiaoxue’s name to write a paper on some of the information she learned about the mysterious beasts, and improve your score and reputation at the same time!
Although Ark Xiaoxue's simulation analysis capabilities weren't yet capable of creating something out of nothing, others didn't know. Even Chi Zi only knew that a large amount of elemental fluids were used in its design and manufacturing, and was unaware of the miraculous changes caused by the subsequent system self-destruction. Xia Muqing could easily attribute the cause to this.
She thought happily, raised her hand and touched Ark Xiaoxue's smooth round head: "Xiaoxue, well done!"
The Ark snowman froze for a moment, a long stream of data flashing across its fluid surface. It lowered its head, seemingly excited yet also shyly, but a moment later, the red warning light of insufficient energy flashed again.
Xia Muqing: "..."
Well, raising an Ark is just like raising a mysterious beast, it is a long and arduous journey.
…
In the following period of time, in addition to attending classes and training, Xia Muqing would occasionally challenge Wen Shaohao, Ji Jingming and others to battles. While earning a large amount of credits, the strength of several mysterious beasts was also constantly improving.
The Gale Dog is unbeatable in Yanda University, but during the battle, the way it uses its magical skills can also provide a lot of help to the opponent. After the several seniors that Wen Shaohao brought in to fight with it, they were all very satisfied and basically became repeat customers.
The Yin-Yang Butterfly's "dream-entering" ability was also quite magical. Xia Muqing tested it with Jing Yiyi and the others, and discovered that its ability was indeed very helpful in helping a profound beast grasp the rudiments of divine skills. However, the prerequisite was that the profound beast had to possess a strong desire to become stronger and an unwavering determination to move forward. However, the beastmasters who managed to gain admission to Yan University had raised extraordinary profound beasts, and many of them could meet this requirement.
So at the end of its training, Liangyi Butterfly received more invitations than the other two mysterious beasts.
Although its energy value is not high, its skills can also play a certain role for the second-level mysterious beast, so Xia Muqing finally summarized the "one-stop course for improving magical skills": first experience the "dream entry" of the Yin-Yang Butterfly, and then go to see the magical skills of the Gale Dog when you have a feeling. While being abused, you can personally experience the energy operation of the magical skills. There is also a koi fish blowing bubbles next to it to create an atmosphere.
The effect is amazing, everyone who uses it says it's good.
For Xia Muqing, it was also a fruitful experience.
While gaining credits, Gale Dog also got the opportunity to fight against powerful mysterious beasts in the school. Since it signed the contract, it had never experienced such a high-intensity battle frequency. The opponents were also surprisingly strong, and each had a trump card, which almost made it capsize several times.
The Liangyi Butterfly's "dream-entering" skill became more and more proficient as it practiced. While its energy value increased rapidly, it also learned another skill without any instruction: transformation.
The "Dream Enter" skill primarily traps the enemy in an illusion, while the "Transformation" skill directly affects external objects, effectively acting as a ranged illusion. Xia Muqing hadn't anticipated the Yin-Yang Butterfly developing its own "Transformation" skill from "Dream Enter." It was truly unpredictable—in fact, from the outset, she had intended for the Yin-Yang Butterfly to function as a nurse.
However, this also proves that Liang Yi Butterfly has a strong talent for illusion. A mysterious beast that hides in the dark, can be used for illusion, healing, and intimidating with negative emotions... Hmm, a super powerful auxiliary!
Therefore, Xia Muqing accepted the growth of the Yin-Yang Butterfly with great satisfaction, and slightly modified the evolutionary direction she had planned for the mysterious beast in her mind.
Even Ark Xiaoxue collected a large amount of data during the battle. Coupled with its powerful data computing capabilities, the analysis effect soared and was getting closer to the effect Xia Muqing wanted.
Apart from that... there are only small koi, and the harvest during this period is relatively small.
There was no way around it. The new students who had just enrolled couldn't afford the credits, and the seniors who could afford the credits preferred the Yin-Yang Butterfly and the Gale Dog. As a result, apart from a Nandou Thunder Monkey, not many people were interested in challenging the Koi Fish.
Even Nandou Thunder Monkey, after fighting with the little koi several times, turned around and experienced the "one-stop course to improve supernatural skills" at the request of his own beastmaster.
Hiss, it smells so good!
Nandou Thunder Monkey's willpower was always strong, and it was easy for him to find his own direction for growth under the guidance of "entering dreams." He smelled the rudiments of a divine skill and immediately threw himself into the ranks of the Swift Dogs, becoming the one who only occasionally invited the Koi Fish—when he couldn't get in line with the Swift Dogs.
Koi fish: "..."
Damn, I’m so pissed off!
The little koi was furious, gurgling and spitting bubbles, harshly condemning the other party's "betrayal". However, Nandou Leihou said it didn't matter. Let him curse. If he could learn the rudiments of a divine skill, what else could he need?
There was no other way, the little koi turned its grief and anger into appetite, rushed to the cafeteria and ate voraciously. More than half of the credits earned by the Gale Dog and the Yin-Yang Butterfly turned into nutrients and went into its stomach.
After such a fierce eating, Long Dan finally filled up his energy.
The moment the dragon pill was filled, a golden light emanated from the little koi's body. It somehow realized one thing - if it wanted to evolve, it needed to return to the place where the other sky dragon had failed and complete its evolution ritual.
"You mean... District 7, Pebble Beach?"
After learning about the conditions for the Koi's evolution, Xia Muqing recalled the staff's explanation when she first exchanged for the Dragon Pill. Area 7 was considered the more challenging of the safe zones, but now with the Divine Beast by her side, she felt completely confident in giving it a try.
Xia Muqing was thinking about how to apply to the school to go to the seventh district of the alien space. Coincidentally, at this time, the registration for the new adventurer qualification examination was closed, and the official website also announced the examination time and location.
As if there was a divine will in the dark, Xia Muqing looked at the big words "Seventh District of Alien Space" on the test site and couldn't help but smile knowingly.
This is great, saving effort.
