Beast Taming Department, Class One.
The middle-aged man with the gaunt face was lecturing from the podium:
"Some pet beasts have multiple attributes, but there’s always a distinction between main and sub-attributes. Generally speaking, for a pet beast to learn skills related to its sub-attributes, it’s much more difficult than learning those related to its main attribute."
"Sometimes, blindly making your pet beast learn powerful skills or incessantly acquiring new skills is not the right choice for those who aspire to stand out among professional beast tamers."
"Mastering one skill to the utmost or combining two skills of different attributes can be far stronger than focusing on learning powerful skills or continuously teaching your pet beast new ones."
"A pet beast’s energy is limited, and your prime years are now."
"I hope that in the future, you can distinguish between primary and secondary skills, discard the useless ones, and spend time on skills that can easily form combo skills for your pet beasts."
With that, he made a seal gesture with his hands.
The purple Star Array lit up.
Soon, a pet beast about twenty centimeters in size, mostly green in color, with short limbs and ears about half the size of its face, covered in sharp spikes, appeared on the podium.
The middle-aged man introduced:
"This Thistle Needle of mine has reached a minor achievement in skill proficiency."
Saying this, he looked at the Thistle Needle: "Show them."
"Thistle!"
The Thistle Needle called out.
Immediately thereafter, more than a dozen sharp green needle-like objects appeared out of thin air.
"Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh!"
The thistle needles shot out rapidly.
The whole class followed the direction of the thistle needles.
When they were about a meter away from the wall at the back of the lecture hall, the thistle needles halted for a moment before falling to the ground, not continuing forward.
"This is the current maximum distance that Thistle Needle can shoot its needles," the middle-aged man said, and nodded at the Thistle Needle.
"Thistle!"
The Thistle Needle understood its beast tamer’s intention.
It called out, and once again, more than a dozen sharp green needle-like objects appeared out of thin air.
The needle-like objects shot out.
The Thistle Needle puffed up its cheeks and blew out a wild gust of wind.
The wind speed instantly caught up with the green needle-like objects.
"Bang, bang, bang!"
The thistle needles accelerated and then embedded deeply into the wall at the back of the lecture hall.
"The proficiency of Thistle Needle at the minor achievement stage can only shoot to the distance you saw before, but by adding the wind blowing skill, both the shooting speed and distance are significantly enhanced," the middle-aged man explained as he waved his hand, recalling the Thistle Needle back into the Beast Taming Codex: "This is a combo skill."
"Of course, this is just the most basic and fundamental. In our next class, we’ll be outdoors, and I hope by then, everyone will be able to demonstrate their own combo skills."
During the break, an upperclassman from the maintenance department walked into the classroom, efficiently instructing her accompanying pet beast to repair the dozen needle holes in the wall.
Qiao Sang was sitting at her desk, pen in hand, considering combo skills on her notebook.
Initially, when she had participated in the national campus Beast Taming League, she had researched combo skills.
Yaobao had Doppelganger; its skill proficiency increased rapidly, and once it reached a certain degree of proficiency, combining them wasn’t difficult.
But not being difficult didn’t mean it was suitable.
Back then, she directly and crudely made Yaobao use Doppelganger with various skills, or used Psychic Control to direct its attack skills, much like Counter-Protective Barrier 2.0.
Thinking about it now, with Yaobao having so many more skills, there might be more suitable combinations to consider.
Qiao Sang pondered; Yaobao’s Attack Power was already strong, and its skill proficiency also increased rapidly. At present, it didn’t seem necessary to rely on combo skills to enhance the power of its abilities.
Xun Bao’s Dark Magic Shadow was nearing advanced stages and it could cast hundreds of illusions.
If it could use other skills in conjunction with Dark Magic Shadow, then the Attack Power should be able to increase exponentially.
Especially when Dark Magic Shadow was paired with Shadow Control.
In fact, the power of Shadow Control was greatly related to the pet beast’s size.
The larger the body, the bigger the shadow.
Whether it was in 2D Mode or Three-Dimensional Mode of Shadow Control, the larger the pet beast’s size, the greater the distance and area of effect it could cover, and the stronger the control power would be.
Xun Bao had not exposed this weakness when using this skill thus far, mainly because it could Teleport, moving directly close to the target or the target’s shadow.
However, Xun Bao was recently practicing Spatial Closure, and its proficiency in Dark Magic Shadow was still too low. It definitely wouldn’t reach the level where it could show off in class tomorrow...
As she was thinking, the voice of Dorothy from nearby rang out:
"Now that those upperclassmen no longer challenge you, don’t you plan to challenge those ranked above you?"
"Who says no one challenges me? There’s still one here," Qiao Sang said, taking out her phone and fiddling with it for a moment.
Then she saw that the page for accepting challenges, which had originally shown one person, was now blank.
Qiao Sang: "..."
"Let’s wait a little longer before challenging," Qiao Sang said, putting her phone down as if nothing had happened.
She had too many tasks to handle during this period, and challenging the top hundred ranking members offered no tangible benefits besides a higher rank and the chance to exchange for a fancier dorm, which seemed unnecessary.
She had already rented a villa off-campus, and she would be returning to Blue Star after this semester; changing dorms seemed pointless.
Hearing this, Dorothy’s expression showed she had more to say but held back.
She was eager to see Qiao Sang thrash their upperclassmen immediately, but the latter was not in a hurry.
If anyone else had this strength, they would have already challenged the top three on the leaderboard to increase their points, but Qiao Sang seemed to have no such plan.
At that moment, Dorothy suddenly remembered the other was an Intergalactic Exchange Student; indeed, earning or not earning points was not important for her.
Her face turned sour as she thought, ’The admissions office must definitely have spies from Blue Star...’
This person looks familiar, seems like I’ve seen him somewhere before... red Energy Pills... Qiao Sang was startled when she saw the elder’s appearance, but she quickly looked down and was surprised to see what he was holding in his hand. freewēbnoveℓ.com
