Chapter 133: Chapter 128 Skill Compression
Xu Yajie’s face was ashen white, his eyes filled with panic and despair.
The Power-headed Duck silently took two steps back.
In the vast training ground, only the sound of water droplets could be heard, and…
“Xun! Xun! Xun!”
The previously invisible Xiao Xunbao, the Treasure-seeking Ghost, made itself known, laughing and rolling around above Qiao Sang’s head.
Qiao Sang’s head wasn’t big enough for it to roll completely around, so as soon as Xiao Xunbao rolled, it rolled off and stabilized itself, floating in the air.
...
That wasn’t all, after stabilizing, Xiao Xunbao looked directly at the still dripping Zheng Baolong and pointed at him with its short claws, continuing to laugh.
“Xun! Xun! Xun!”
All eyes, including Zheng Baolong’s, were drawn to the scene.
Qiao Sang’s face gave nothing away, but inside her emotions were in tumult.
After thinking for two seconds, she raised her hand and took Xiao Xunbao back into the Beast Taming Codex, pretending nothing had happened.
Shi Gaofeng and the others looked at the disappearing Xiao Xunbao with disordered expressions. Until now, none of them had known there was a Spectral-type Pet in the training ground, and it had been taken into the Beast Taming Codex by a freshman.
A freshman with two Pet Beasts?!
This news was too shocking, so much so that they momentarily forgot about Zheng Baolong, who was still scowling.
Zheng Guoping’s temples bulged, his complexion turning from white to green, and then from green to black. He glanced at Xu Yajie and then at Qiao Sang, finally fixing his gaze on the former.
“Xu Yajie, go out right now and run 20 laps!”
Running 20 laps in this kind of weather was downright inhuman.
Xu Yajie’s face turned ghastly pale, but he dared not say another word; he took his Power-headed Duck and turned to leave the training ground.
“Next, Wang Yao.”
Zheng Guoping continued the testing and training.
When the Power-headed Duck was being tested, Qiao Sang hadn’t noticed anything special.
She simply thought it was training for a skill release to break through rock obstacles and attack a microscopic target.
But when the Great Flame Sparrow released the Flame Vortex, she realized it wasn’t that simple.
As a Fire Attribute Beast just like the Great Flame Sparrow, Yaobao, while still in his Beginner form as a Fire-Toothed Dog, had undergone daily skill release training regarding Fire Element skills.
The Flame Vortex, being one of Yaobao’s Fire Element skills, was naturally known to Qiao Sang in terms of how it should be released.
Besides the increased rotation speed and temperature of the flames.
A Beginner-level Flame Vortex is about 20 centimeters wide with an attack range of about 3 meters, while an Expert-level Flame Vortex remains the same width but has an attack range of about 9 meters.
Although Yaobao hadn’t released a Flame Vortex during his stage as a Flame Listening Dog.
Qiao Sang had carefully researched all of Yaobao’s skills online.
When a Fire Attribute Beast evolves from Beginner to Intermediate level and releases a Flame Vortex with the same proficiency, although the length of attack remains the same, the width increases from the initial 20 centimeters to 30 centimeters.
However, the Flame Vortex released by the Great Flame Sparrow was neither within the Expert-level category of 30 centimeters wide and 9 meters long nor within the Proficient-level range of 18 meters long.
It was about 8 centimeters wide and could spray over 30 meters, almost reaching the red target.
Because they were undergoing a test for skill compression to increase attack distance.
No wonder the Power-headed Duck couldn’t control the direction of the water jet spray.
If the limbs aren’t strong enough, they naturally can’t control the direction of the compressed water jet, causing it to go awry.
It was like how firefighters in her previous life had to deal with the recoil when using high-pressure water jets, which is the reactionary force from the water ejection, which requires strength.
At this thought, Qiao Sang started to feel a bit of sympathy for Zheng Baolong.
With the compressed water jet attack, how thick would one’s skin have to be to withstand it…
Once Wang Yao and Shi Gaofeng had completed their tests, Zheng Guoping said, “Qiao Sang, it’s your turn to try.”
Qiao Sang nodded and went to stand directly opposite the red target.
“What’s the name of your Fire… this Pet Beast?” Zheng Guoping asked.
Qiao Sang paused for a moment and decided to stick with the name from the Beast Taming Codex, “It’s a Flame Listening Dog.”
“Ya?”
Yaobao looked up at his Beast Tamer with confusion. Flame Listening Dog? Wasn’t it a Blazehound?
Qiao Sang looked down at Yaobao with an amused smile, “We’ll look in the mirror when we get back tonight.”
“Ya!”
