Air Super Cannon? The first skill Qiao Sang thought of was this one.
But after thinking it over carefully, this move didn’t seem to be Yaobao’s key, and he hadn’t mentioned this move in front of Little Steel Falcon before.
"Are you talking about the technique where Yaobao practices holding its breath?" Qiao Sang tentatively asked.
"Gang gang."
Little Steel Falcon nodded.
Indeed... Qiao Sang explained with a smile, "That is a trait called ’air vacuum,’ not a skill."
"Gang gang."
Little Steel Falcon looked serious.
Traits can also be developed later in life, can’t they?
Qiao Sang was taken aback; she hadn’t expected Little Steel Falcon to know even this.
As everyone knows, pet beasts’ traits are almost always innate. Other than the possibility of awakening new traits after evolving, it’s rare for a pet beast to bring out a trait without evolving.
But rare doesn’t mean none at all.
Yaobao’s initial Blazing Fire trait was stimulated later in life.
Some beast tamers, in order to bring out the traits they want, will try all sorts of things.
She had seen online where a beast tamer, in an attempt to stimulate the Intimidate trait of his Blazehound, would find people to battle every day, letting it roar first at the start of battle, trying to suppress the opponent and gradually foster the Blazehound’s confidence and presence.
Over time, even without battling, the Blazehound would arrogantly roar at any strange pet beasts it saw by the roadside.
Once, the Blazehound roared at a small snake-type pet beast passing on the street.
The next second, the snake-type pet beast grew larger, reaching about 13 meters in size, then swung its tail and directly launched the Blazehound across to another street.
When its beast tamer found it, he was surprised to discover that the Blazehound had actually developed a Timid trait.
The Timid trait, though it sounds a bit cowardly, is very practical. Pet beasts with this trait have their speed increased when attacked by moves of evil, spectral, or bug attributes.
If they encounter a pet beast with the Intimidate trait and are affected by it, their speed will increase as well.
This incident even made it to the hot searches of the Yuhua Region.
The proud beast tamer shared his views and experience on this matter on various platforms and even became a little internet celebrity with hundreds of thousands of fans as a result.
Later, many netizens tried to imitate this but failed to stimulate the Timid trait in their pet beasts.
Unlike skills, traits are mainly about whether the pet beast has the talent in that area or not; it’s either there or it’s not, and won’t be stimulated by throwing money, resources, or targeted training at it.
Moreover, traits vary a lot among themselves. Trying to stimulate rare traits like Air Vacuum, which could totally be used as high-tier abilities, through later efforts is nearly impossible.
Qiao Sang asked, "Why the sudden interest in stimulating this trait?"
"Gang gang."
Little Steel Falcon explained by flapping its wings.
To grow stronger, naturally, it must aim to surpass the strongest being it knows, and Yaobao is its current target.
"Bingke?"
Suddenly opening its eyes, Lubao, who had been sitting with them shut, looked bewildered as if saying, "What are you talking about?"
You weren’t asleep... Qiao Sang quickly reassured, "Gangbao just arrived; he hasn’t witnessed your strength yet."
