Chapter 1155: Ice Prison
1160. Chapter 1155: Ice Prison
Thankfully, Qiao Sang interjected at this point:
"Teacher, I have a few questions."
Migala immediately composed herself and replied:
"Ask."
"During the battle at Wanbing Island, you left with the Sludge Frost Spirit, right?" Qiao Sang asked. "But the ice barrier it left behind was still floating in midair. What skill was that?"
Lulu poked one ear out of her backpack.
Without hesitation, Migala answered:
"That's called Ice Prison. The name sounds ordinary, but it's a genuine Epic Skill. The user can shape the Ice Prison however they like and it suppresses Spatial Shift. However, your Night Ring King’s Shadow Penetration ability can counter this skill."
So it’s an Epic Skill! No wonder it looked unremarkable but could suppress Spatial Shift… Qiao Sang mused.
Migala continued: "As for why the Ice Prison remained suspended after Sludge Frost Spirit left, it must still be within its sensing range."
That aligned perfectly with her own thoughts… Qiao Sang asked:
"Does Ice Prison’s only function resemble a barrier that traps people?"
"This is far more powerful than a regular barrier", Migala explained. "Ice Prison forms using Ice-Type energy and atmospheric moisture. As long as water molecules exist nearby, it will never vanish unless the familiar who cast the skill dismantles it deliberately.
"Moreover, the familiar can control the temperature within Ice Prison. While it cannot raise temperatures, it can lower them infinitely. It’s a skill that combines containment with brutal, prolonged torment.
"And since Ice Prison counters Spatial Shift, even if Pengamei gets controlled, she won’t escape easily inside."
Hearing this, Qiao Sang recalled the Ice Prison plunging into the sea and shuddered with delayed fear.
Thank goodness Treasure Seeker has Shadow Penetration. Otherwise, the consequences of falling into the ocean would’ve been unimaginable.
In the backpack, Lulu quietly tucked her ears back inside.
Suddenly remembering something, Qiao Sang asked: "What skill did Sludge Frost Spirit use to freeze those familiars? I saw many trapped for years—even decades—and they were still alive."
Lulu’s ear immediately reemerged from the pack.
Migala paused thoughtfully. "Sludge Frost Spirit’s Ice-Type energy must’ve been overwhelmingly intense. In an instant, it froze their internal organs and cells simultaneously. Normally, when an Ice-Type familiar freezes a target’s surface, the brain and cells inside remain active, slowly dying while trapped.
"But if the organs and all cells froze instantly, the target could survive even after decades or centuries of freezing when thawed.
"There’s a caveat, though. After thawing, the target might become a vegetative person or a plant-like familiar."
She glanced at Qiao Sang as she added:
"If I’m not mistaken, all the familiars you rescued survived because you had Ice Emperor Ram use Healing Light on them."
Lulu silently withdrew her ear again.
Ah, so that’s how it worked! Having an S-Class Beastmaster around certainly has its advantages—no wonder you know everything… Qiao Sang suddenly understood and smoothly added:
"Your deduction is spot-on! Truly worthy of an S-Rank Beastmaster."
Lulu invested significant effort into healing the frozen familiars, using Healing Light on each. Fortunately, she absorbed substantial Ice-Type energy during the thawing process, boosting her Beastmaster Codex’s level by several ten thousand points. The hard work definitely paid off.
Migala gazed at the sky, her mood brightening again.
Beside her, Dragon King made a disdainful "Tch!" sound and turned his head away.
…
Back at the villa, it was 2:30 PM.
After a simple meal of Youzhen Cat’s cooking, Fangy, Lulu, and Steel Treasure headed to the Open Training Ground to train.
"Xunxun?"
After a satisfied burp, Treasure Seeker chirped, asking what time it was.
Qiao Sang checked her mobile phone. "Half past two."
"Xunxun~"
Treasure Seeker called again, announcing he was heading out to battle and would return at 7:30 PM. If he missed dinner, they should save him some leftovers.
Not a minute more than necessary… Qiao Sang internally grumbled but simply replied, "Alright."
"Qingqing."
Qingbao called back, signaling he’d accompany him.
"Xunxun~"
Treasure Seeker nodded, his eyes glowing blue.
"Tingting."
Just then, Tingbao called out, expressing his desire to join.
Before Treasure Seeker could respond, Qiao Sang interjected:
"You stay here."
"Xunxun~"
Hearing his Beastmaster’s command, Treasure Seeker turned to Tingbao with a chirp.
Your Beastmaster said no.
Without further delay, he vanished with Qingbao.
"Tingting?"
Tingbao looked at his Beastmaster, puzzled, and chirped—wasn’t she the one who mentioned seeking opponents for battle days ago?
"Days ago were days ago. Now is now. The circumstances have changed", Qiao Sang coughed. "Training methods should adapt to current needs. Your priority now is improving your Discharge proficiency. From now on, focus solely on Discharge drills."
"Tingting."
His Beastmaster’s words were always wise… Without questioning, Tingbao nodded and crawled toward the Open Training Ground.
Migala watched from the sofa, then glanced at Dragon King, who was digging his claws into his nostril. Suddenly restless, she stood to head upstairs.
Just then, Qiao Sang asked: "Teacher, what methods can quickly improve Discharge proficiency?"
Tingbao can’t replicate Fangy and Steel Treasure’s thousand-proc-per-day boost. But surely there’s a training method to accelerate skill growth?
Migala froze mid-step, her expression flashing disbelief. You’re asking me how to improve Skill Proficiency?
You’re the Beastmaster who makes familiars’ Epic Skills gain proficiency rapidly. You’re asking me for advice?
She suddenly realized—she’d never actually taught Qiao Sang how to boost Skill Proficiency. Understandable, given how her student surpassed her training methods.
But now, for the first time, her student sought her guidance.
Her stunned expression was obvious. Qiao Sang caught on and added:
"I’ve never bonded an Electric-Type familiar before. I’m unfamiliar with the specifics."
Migala fell silent, then nodded. "You can train it in the Lightning Attraction Room."
