Chapter 121: Sensitivity
Chapter 121: Sensitivity
Qiao Sang calmly watched the data being analyzed.
It was normal for some familiar evolution attributes to change or for new attributes to appear.
The most extreme examples were the Eternal Worm, Bamboo Flower Serpent, and Leapfish.
These three familiars were weak in their early stages, but had the potential to evolve into dragons.
However, the Eternal Worm and Bamboo Flower Serpent needed to evolve to the Imperial Rank, and no Beastmaster capable of raising a familiar to the Imperial Rank would bond with these two.
Wouldn't it be better to just buy a Dragon-type Beast Companion directly? Why go through so much trouble?
In contrast, the Leapfish only needed to evolve to a High-Class Beast Companion to gain dragon attributes.
The Alliance even gave it a powerful name: Aquatic Tyrant.
But if you thought it was that easy to dream of a fish leaping into a dragon, you were wrong.
When the Alliance announced that the Leapfish could evolve into an Aquatic Tyrant, its market price skyrocketed from 6,000 Union Coins to 600,000 Union Coins.
Even at that price, the Leapfish was sold out, and demand far exceeded supply.
After all, compared to buying a Dragon-type Beast Companion directly, this price was a steal.
These days, who doesn't dream of bonding with a Dragon-type Beast Companion?
The Leapfish gave them hope.
Unfortunately, the dream was short-lived. According to statistics, out of ten million Beastmasters who bought Leapfish, only one managed to raise an Aquatic Tyrant, a probability comparable to winning the lottery.
So, the price of the Leapfish quickly dropped back down.
Fangy evolving into a new, unknown form with the addition of a Psychic Type was something Qiao Sang hadn't expected, but it didn't surprise her.
She already had the Golden Finger, and Fangy could learn an Advanced Skill at the Junior stage. Encountering a Ghost and Psychic dual-rarity familiar like Treasure Seeker made anything seem possible.
However...
Qiao Sang's gaze fixed on the top of the data, her expression turning serious.
Why was Fangy's evolved form name displayed here?
Could it be that the Flame Listener had already appeared in the Alliance?
That was impossible. If it had, the Alliance would have announced it.
Qiao Sang pondered for a moment and thought of another possibility.
Could it be that the Flame Listener had appeared on another planet, and the Alliance didn't know about it?
If that were the case, this Golden Finger was even more powerful than she imagined.
With that thought, Qiao Sang stopped dwelling on the question.
For now, she needed to focus on increasing her cultural score and winning the Litan Beastmaster High School competition to secure preferential policies for the College Entrance Exam. Other planets were too distant a concern for her.
Qiao Sang continued to read.
A new trait had been added, but it required the opponent to initiate a close-range attack to trigger a rise in body temperature and emit flames to burn the opponent.
In other words, it was a trait that required her to take a hit first, allowing the flames on her body to touch the opponent and potentially cause a burn status.
How come fire-type familiars always have such tragic traits...
Qiao Sang couldn't help but comment.
She continued reading.
Three new skills had been added.
She knew about Psychic Power.
Phantom Flame was an invisible flame. Its power seemed similar to her existing flames, but the invisibility was a significant advantage in battle.
However, experienced Professional Beastmasters would notice the spatial distortion caused by Phantom Flame and take precautions.
The Alliance classified Phantom Flame as an Advanced Skill.
If Fangy hadn't learned Mars Rain, she might have been excited.
But Fangy had already learned an Advanced Skill during the Junior stage. After evolving to the Intermediate stage and gaining another Advanced Skill, she didn't feel much.
Qiao Sang shifted her gaze to the last Skill listed.
Sensitivity.
What was this...
Qiao Sang felt a bit embarrassed. She knew most common Skills, either from textbooks or from watching competitions and listening to commentators. But she had no idea what Sensitivity was.
Qiao Sang quickly guessed that this probably wasn't a combat Skill.
To find out what it was and what it did, she would have to look it up online.
After scanning through the Beastmaster Codex again, Qiao Sang's consciousness returned to reality.
She was very satisfied with her performance this time.
Calm and collected.
She didn't act foolishly when facing Fangy's new Evolution form, and she remained calm even after learning about the additional Psychic attribute.
Qiao Sang felt that her mental fortitude had improved significantly over the past month. She believed that no matter what situation she encountered in the future, she could remain composed and act normally.
But the next second, she was proven wrong.
"Damn!" Qiao Sang almost had a heart attack when she saw the Treasure Seeker just a hair's breadth away from her face.
"Xun!"
The Treasure Seeker was startled and teleported to its Beastmaster's head, clutching a tuft of hair and looking around nervously.
"Ya!"
Fangy also became alert and looked around.
"It's okay, it's okay", Qiao Sang quickly reassured them.
Being startled by her familiar was embarrassing, but she couldn't blame herself. She was sure anyone would have been scared if they woke up to find something that close to their face.
"Xun."
The Treasure Seeker's eyes darted around, looking guilty.
Its Beastmaster was just too timid, it couldn't be blamed.
"Xunbao, you can let go of my hair now..."
"Xun."
Xunbao awkwardly released its claws.
With this commotion, it had forgotten about the Evolution.
Free from the pain in her scalp, Qiao Sang could finally think about what to do next.
Fangy was now too big. Although their dorm room was relatively spacious compared to other high schools, the space allocated to her was only about eight square meters. With the bed and cabinets, there was hardly any room to move around.
She needed to find a way to move outside...
But that seemed impossible for now...
Qiao Sang suddenly had an idea and said excitedly, "Fangy, now that you have Psychic Power, can you float like Xunbao?"
"Ya?"
Fangy tilted her head.
Psychic Power?
Float?
Like the usual play?
Could she float without her little brother's help?
Since her Beastmaster had suggested it, it must be right.
Fangy focused on the energy within her.
The next second.
"Bang!"
Due to the excessive energy, the Psychic Power was too strong, and Fangy crashed into the ceiling.
"Fangy, are you okay?" Qiao Sang asked, wincing.
Fangy didn't fall as Qiao Sang had expected; instead, she stabilized herself on the ceiling and called out excitedly.
"Ya!"
"Ya Ya!"
"Ya Ya!"
She was flying! She could fly too!
Soon, Fangy began to adjust the energy within her, trying to control her height.
"Xun!"
The Treasure Seeker watched in amazement, circling around Fangy.
So amazing!
A change in appearance and a change in abilities, this must be Evolution.
Fangy's natural talent was high, and after learning Mars Rain, her control over her energy had reached a significant level. After a few tries, she could use Psychic Power with ease.
Qiao Sang nodded to herself as she watched Fangy float back and forth above the room using Psychic Power.
She was indeed a genius, coming up with the idea of having Fangy use Psychic Power to move around above the room.
This way, even though the space was still small, at least there was some room to move, and she could practice releasing Psychic Power directly.
