Chapter 135: Spit It Out and Give It Back!
Chapter 135: Spit It Out and Give It Back!
Fangy is really easy to fool...
After sighing, Qiao Sang saw Fangy plop down on the floor, its claws dramatically placed on its chest, its mouth pouting higher and higher, and its face turning darker.
Qiao Sang had read about the Sensitivity skill online.
As proficiency and familiar level increase, the skill allows one to see further into the past. With enough mental energy, the images can even be synchronized to the Beastmaster's mind.
Furthermore, once the skill reaches a certain level, it can directly project the past events into the present, like a virtual movie.
The exact level of proficiency needed to achieve this wasn't detailed online.
Psychic-type familiars are rare, and even fewer have the Sensitivity skill. Even if a powerful Beastmaster's familiar reached that level, they likely wouldn't reveal it online.
After all, Sensitivity is a godlike skill for intelligence agencies, capable of perfectly replaying the details of a crime.
If someone knew the specific time frame that could be investigated at each level, they could easily devise more perfect plans.
With Fangy's current Novice proficiency and mental energy, it couldn't sync the images to its own mind.
However, from Fangy's expression, Qiao Sang guessed it had seen the scene that explained why it was wet.
Otherwise, why would it look so miserable?
Fangy closed its eyes, unable to bear the sight of what had just happened to it.
When it acted, it didn't feel any issues, but watching it from an outsider's perspective revealed a lot more problems.
Who was that howling and crying like a madman?
It couldn't be... itself, right?
No!
It refused to admit it!
The replay stopped when it started crying because it realized it was covered in water.
It saw nothing but its own pathetic state.
Fangy opened its eyes, feeling utterly dejected.
"Did you see anything?" Qiao Sang asked, sitting on the bed and looking at Fangy, who had just opened its eyes.
"Ya..."
Fangy shook its head, its ears drooping, and its face showing deep despair.
"Then what did you see in the last scene?" Qiao Sang asked, curious.
If it didn't see anything, why did its expression change so dramatically?
"Ya."
"Ya Ya..."
Fangy lifted its head, looking as if it couldn't bear to relive the memory.
Qiao Sang: "..."
So that's it...
It seems that at the Novice level, Sensitivity can only see about 10 minutes into the past.
Seeing Fangy's depressed expression, Qiao Sang comforted it, "Don't worry, only you, I, and Treasure Seeker know about this. No one else will ever find out."
"Xun!"
Treasure Seeker raised a paw and patted its chest, solemnly promising it wouldn't say a word.
"Ya."
Fangy let out a call, feeling slightly comforted.
...
The fact that Fangy was inexplicably wet was clearly not normal.
But Qiao Sang didn't continue investigating, as it was already 7:27, and she had to go to school for intensive training.
After a quick breakfast, Qiao Sang set off for school.
Treasure Seeker floated to Qiao Sang's head, invisibly as usual.
It enjoyed being unseen while observing others openly.
Fangy followed Qiao Sang, but when they reached a fork in the road, Fangy suddenly vanished.
Qiao Sang stopped, her expression unchanged.
She had been walking with a Clone the whole time.
If each step was 0.5 meters, and she had taken 484 steps, then Fangy's Clone was now about 242 meters away.
After calculating the distance, Qiao Sang took a step back and formed a Seal. The real Fangy appeared in the gray Star Array.
"Ya."
Fangy called out, sounding dejected.
It had thought its Clone could make it all the way to school.
"You did a good job", Qiao Sang comforted, then asked, "Do you have a Clone at home?"
"Ya."
Fangy nodded.
"That's good. Now, put on the Fire Condensing Pearl; it should increase the distance you can control your Clone from." Qiao Sang squatted down and put the red-stringed Fire Condensing Pearl around Fangy's neck.
After walking about 50 meters, or 100 steps, Fangy stopped and let out an exasperated cry.
Her clone had disappeared...
Qiao Sang sighed. They were only 290 meters into the 1-kilometer journey, and Fangy was already struggling...
If the other Beastmasters found out, they would probably roll up their sleeves and have a heated argument with Qiao Sang.
An Intermediate Beast controlling a clone from nearly 300 meters away, and you call that not being able to do it?!
So, if their familiars could only control clones within their line of sight at the Intermediate stage, would they be labeled as trash, weak, or useless?!
Qiao Sang thought Fangy was struggling because she had no reference point. If she had an Intermediate Beast to compare, she would realize just how impressive Fangy was.
This was partly due to the fact that Fangy was a Psychic-type, which was rare in the dual-type category.
Unfortunately, neither Qiao Sang nor her two familiars knew what the normal level of control should be at this stage.
"Seek~"
Treasure Seeker appeared and offered some milk to Fangy, trying to console her.
...
Qiao Sang arrived at Training Ground 5.
As usual, she was the last one to arrive.
Xu Yajie was still practicing compressing her Water Jet.
Shi Gaofeng was working on improving the accuracy of his Thornberry Leaf Slash, attempting to make the Leaf Blade turn mid-air.
Given the difficulty of learning new skills, the School Team focused on refining and enhancing their existing skills.
Qiao Sang thought their training direction was good but not suitable for her.
Fangy had a high talent and learned new skills quickly. She could even master Advanced Skills while still a Beginner Beast. Once she learned a skill, her proficiency would skyrocket with each use.
High-level skills combined with high proficiency would definitely outshine familiars of the same rank, and even challenging higher ranks was not out of the question.
Directly overpowering the opponent with sheer strength, without relying on these techniques.
However, Qiao Sang kept these thoughts to herself.
"Qiao Sang, you're here!" Wang Yao called out from where she was squatting on the ground.
In the Sophomore Year Individual Combat Team, Wang Yao was the only girl, and now with Qiao Sang, they quickly became close. Both of their first bonded familiars were fire-types, and they had bonded over the past couple of days.
"What are you doing?" Qiao Sang asked as she approached.
Wang Yao was applying a bright red, sauce-like substance to Flamebird's tongue.
"Are you feeding your Flamebird tomato sauce?"
Wang Yao paused, looked up at Qiao Sang, and said helplessly, "This is Primordial Fire Paste. Applying it makes fire-type skills feel much easier to use for the next ten minutes, thus increasing proficiency."
Qiao Sang: "..."
No wonder Wang Yao's Flamebird had managed to master Flame Whirl to a minor level in just one year without any special advantages.
"Yah."
Fangy sniffed the paste curiously.
"Yan Yan."
Flamebird, seeing this, generously used its wing to dip into the Primordial Fire Paste and offered it to Fangy. Since Flamebird's wings were large, it managed to pick up a significant amount of the paste.
Fangy hesitated for a moment before taking a lick.
"How much does a bottle of Primordial Fire Paste cost?" Qiao Sang asked curiously.
Wang Yao took a deep breath and replied, "Around 300,000."
Qiao Sang: "!!!"
She immediately rushed forward and pried open Fangy's mouth. "Spit it out and give it back!"
