Chapter 240: Chapter 228 High Level Pet Beast
Chapter 240: Chapter 228 High Level Pet Beast
Qiao Sang had almost decided on the new skill he wanted to learn as soon as Shuilu Yana had finished demonstrating the skills it already knew.
That skill was Water Jet Thrust.
Water Jet Thrust, a water-type physical attack skill.
The effect of the skill wasn’t literally to spray out a stream of water, but to envelop the pet beast’s entire body in rushing water that drives the pet beast into its opponent.
Qiao Sang thought it through carefully.
Since Shuilu Yana didn’t have high aptitude, having it learn high-level skills at this stage was definitely unrealistic.
Although Water Jet Thrust is considered a mid-level skill, it’s also one of the harder to learn moves among all water-type mid-level skills. Normally, with Shuilu Yana’s aptitude, it would probably take years to master it.
However, Qiao Sang felt it wouldn’t take that long, because Shuilu Yana already knew Flame Tooth.
Flame Tooth was similar to Water Jet Thrust in that both required the beast to wrap parts of its body in water.
Skills could promote the growth of a pet beast and also facilitate the understanding of another skill.
Most Beast Tamers wanting their pet beasts to learn and master high-level skills would first ensure they had a solid foundation by mastering a corresponding low to mid-level skill.
Take the high-level water-type skill, Cannon Water Blast, for example.
Directly mastering Cannon Water Blast is virtually impossible, but if the pet beast first learns the mid-level skill Water Blast before trying Cannon Water Blast, the success rate is greatly increased.
It’s like students needing to complete nine years of compulsory education before they can pass the entrance exam to go to high school. If they don’t have a solid foundation and try to tackle high school problems right away, they wouldn’t even be able to understand them.
In the living room.
Qiao Sang took out his phone and started searching for videos related to Water Jet Thrust for Shuilu Yana to watch.
Shuilu Yana watched with blinking eyes.
In the video, the water-type pet beast wraps its entire body in water and charges powerfully into a grass-type pet beast ten times its size.
The grass-type pet beast remained unshakable as a mountain, not moving an inch and even picking its nose.
Shuilu Yana immediately widened its eyes. It had to learn this?
“My mistake,” Qiao Sang quickly swiped up on the screen with his finger.
The video changed.
In the new scene, the water-type pet beast used Water Jet Thrust to avoid a series of flame attacks in mid-air before charging at the fire-attribute beast it was fighting.
The Fire Attribute Beast grinned, lava bubbling on its body as it dived into the ground.
Without a target, the water-type pet beast crashed into a rock behind it.
Cracking noises from the rocks came through in the video.
Shuilu Yana once again widened its eyes.
Qiao Sang was silent for a few seconds, hit the pause button, and said, “See how powerful this move is? Such a large piece of rock gets shattered on impact.”
Shuilu Yana looked at the shattered rocks on the screen and nodded.
“Right now, your physical attack is limited to Flame Tooth, but to get close to your opponent and land an attack with it, you either need to seize the right moment or be much faster than your opponent so that it can’t react in time,” Qiao Sang explained.
Shuilu Yana listened and seemed to acknowledge the reasoning, its expression turning serious.
“But timing isn’t so easy to catch, and your speed isn’t up to par.”
Shuilu Yana: “…”
“But that’s okay,” Qiao Sang continued, manipulating the phone to replay the video, and as the water-type pet beast used Water Jet Thrust to dodge the flames, he said, “You see, using Water Jet Thrust can not only increase your speed but its power is also much stronger than that of Flame Tooth. Even if you can’t hit your opponent with this move, it’s also great for dodging attacks.”
“Lulu.”
Shuilu Yana made a sound, indicating its agreement.
“Xun Xun~”
Little Treasure-seeking Ghost, Xiao Xunbao, habitually translated.
“That settles it then! Let’s start right away,” Qiao Sang said with a smile.
Although the two segments of videos just played were quite underwhelming, it seemed that Shuilu Yana was also quite easy to coax.
Qiao Sang took Shuilu Yana to the courtyard, found a spot with a rock about the size of a watermelon, and said, “First, try your best to wrap your whole body in water flow, just like when you use Flame Tooth.”
“Lulu,” Shuilu Yana nodded.
“When you can break this rock into pieces like in the video, then you will have mastered the move,” Qiao Sang said, pointing to the watermelon-sized rock on the ground.
“Lulu!”
Shuilu Yana looked at the stone on the ground with a resolute gaze and, without saying a second word, let the water begin to wrap up from her tail.
However, the water only covered half of her body when Shuilu Yana slammed her head into the rock.
“Crack.”
A fissure appeared in the rock.
“Lulu!”
Shuilu Yana’s eyes lit up at the sight of the cracked rock, and she excitedly pointed at the stone and called out to Qiao Sang.
Qiao Sang: “…”
Seeing Shuilu Yana with a big lump on her head still looking so excited, Qiao Sang sighed deeply in his heart.
Not only was her talent insufficient, but she was also a bit dumb.
It seemed more reliable to think about how to evolve Shuilu Yana.
“Not bad, you’ve made a crack,” said Qiao Sang as he crouched down and pointed to the lump on Shuilu Yana’s head. “But, did you not feel the pain at all?”
Shuilu Yana looked puzzled for a moment, then reached up to feel her forehead.
“Lulu!”
Ouch!
“You just used brute force to crack the stone; you didn’t actually use Water Jet Thrust,” said Qiao Sang with a smile.
“Lulu…”
Shuilu Yana pouted.
“It’s just the first time, failing is normal,” Qiao Sang consoled her. “Yaobao also spent a lot of time practicing… Mars Rain at the beginning.”
Shuilu Yana’s ears perked up at the mention of Yaobao.
“Don’t rush to smash into the rock, you have to let the water fully wrap around your body first,” Qiao Sang advised. Thinking of Yaobao, he continued, “You can actually ask Yaobao if you don’t understand. It knows Blazing Charge, which also involves wrapping energy around the entire body, except it uses flames, and you use water.”

“Lulu…”
Shuilu Yana looked at Yaobao, who was concentrating on practicing Flame Tooth not far away, and twisted her face reluctantly before nodding her head with great effort.
At this moment, no one noticed a Water Droplet Worm silently turning around and crawling back at a corner of the courtyard wall.
…
Nighttime.
Qiao Sang lay on his bed, habitually checking the Beast Taming Codex before sleeping.
[Name: Flame Listening Dog]
[Level: Intermediate (1407/10000) +]
[Points: 10776]
10776… Even though he was prepared, Qiao Sang couldn’t help but feel excited at that number.
Today’s fights were not in vain!
These points were already enough to evolve Yaobao into a High-Level Pet Beast!
High-Level Pet Beast! That’s a High-Level Pet Beast!
If Low-Level and Intermediate Pet Beasts are the standard for a Beast Tamer, then among 500 Beast Tamers without age restrictions, possibly only one would possess a High-Level Pet Beast.
Besides the reasons of aptitude, part of it is also because the resources for most Pet Beasts to evolve into High-Level Pet Beasts are exorbitantly expensive.
Even if the conditions for some Pet Beasts to evolve are easily met, you still have to consider if you can afford to keep them once they evolve into High-Level Pet Beasts.
A Beast Tamer who owns a High-Level Pet Beast can certainly step out of the ranks of novice Beast Tamers.
Qualifying to form teams to explore the Secret Realm is the best proof of that.
Qiao Sang was clear-headed and didn’t impulsively let Yaobao evolve directly into a High-Level Pet Beast.
She remembered that a Pet Beast’s upper limit after evolving would be much higher than that of other Pet Beasts of the same tier if it exceeded its own limit of Energy Value.
Yaobao had surpassed the threshold of Low-Level Pet Beasts when it was a Fire-Toothed Dog, and she wanted to ensure Yaobao did the same at the Flame Listening Dog stage.
Let’s do the test tomorrow!
Qiao Sang thought excitedly to himself while flipping to the next page.
