Chapter 294: You Don't Need to Understand
Q: What do you think about Lulu suddenly learning Healing Waves?
Treasure Seeker: Seek! Xunxun! Xunxun!
...
"Seek..."
Treasure Seeker slowly lowered the paws it had initially clamped over its ears, its shocked expression gradually turning peaceful as the song continued.
Lulu could actually sing well...
It looks like my ears won't have to suffer anymore.
That's great...
Qiao Sang also wore a peaceful expression.
She succeeded...
It seems Lulu will be able to heal Fangy now.
That's great...
"Sharp..."
Spike also displayed a peaceful expression.
Now that I think about it, my Beastmaster probably doesn't want me anymore...
That's great... great my ass!
"Sharp!"
Spike shook its head, trying to shake off the thought that had just crossed its mind.
Scary! Too scary!
How could I think my Beastmaster doesn't want me anymore!
"Sharp!"
The evening breeze blew past, and Spike, unable to bear the thought that had just surfaced, ran away.
"Lulu..."
Lulu's face fell at the sight.
"Why the long face? Didn't you succeed?" Qiao Sang, coming back to her senses, rubbed Lulu's head and said.
"Lu?"
Lulu looked up, her expression confused.
Did I succeed?
"Of course", Qiao Sang smiled. "Just look at Spike. It's just that the effect of Healing Waves is a bit short, so it came out a bit too quickly."
"Lu..."
Lulu's face fell again.
So it doesn't really matter whether I use Healing Waves or not...
Qiao Sang glanced in the direction Spike had disappeared and said softly, "How could it not matter? Even though the effect of Healing Waves is short, it made Spike realize something it couldn't admit before, and that's enough."
To be honest, as a Beastmaster's Brain Domain develops and they bond with more familiars, they often have different levels of favoritism based on the familiars' appearance, talents, the length of their bond, or the benefits they bring.
Qiao Sang had heard of such cases before.
But a Beastmaster who hadn't seen their familiar for over three years was something she had never encountered.
A Beastmaster can have many familiars in their lifetime, but a familiar usually has only one Beastmaster for life.
Though Spike's Beastmaster might as well have abandoned it, Qiao Sang had never considered breaking the bond.
For one, Spike was a Basic Familiar.
And its Beastmaster, aside from Spike, had a Fairy Familiar, which was a solid fact.
Even if he only bonded with two familiars, his Brain Domain must have reached at least 20%, far beyond what a Junior-stage Spike could handle to unilaterally break the bond.
Moreover, familiars who actively or passively break their bonds usually don't fare well afterward.
If the bond is forcefully broken, the familiar will suffer backlash, greatly reducing its talent and strength.
Finding another Beastmaster willing to bond with it would be almost impossible after that.
According to online statistics, the probability is akin to winning the lottery, and not just any lottery, but the grand prize.
Most people choose familiars based on the staff's recommendations and the familiar's physical attributes.
Familiars who have broken bonds don't need to be judged; everyone can clearly see that their potential is compromised.
Even if some Beastmasters are willing to bond with them, it's usually due to a lack of funds.
Living with such Beastmasters, let alone evolving, would be a serious question of whether the familiar can even get enough to eat.
Familiars who have broken bonds generally face two outcomes.
Either they end up roaming the streets, eventually being picked up by patrol officers and taken to a familiar base, where they might spend the rest of their lives.
Or they are released into the Hidden Realm by patrol officers.
Familiars that grow up around humans from the moment they hatch find it hard to adapt to the brutal environment of the Hidden Realm. Finding a safe and comfortable place to sleep could be a luxury.
Now, even though Spike’s Beastmaster might have abandoned it, at least Spike has a guaranteed routine for training, eating, and living.
Qiao Sang can only help Spike come to terms with reality as soon as possible, rather than harboring illusions about its Beastmaster every day.
Reality may be cruel, but once recognized, it becomes easier to handle over time.
Once Spike overcomes its longing for its Beastmaster and starts focusing on itself, its future will be much more comfortable and relaxed.
“Seek?”
At this moment, Treasure Seeker called out, indicating that it didn’t understand.
Wouldn’t that be very painful?
Lulu raised its head, asking the same question with its eyes.
Under the moonlight, Qiao Sang, with Treasure Seeker on his head and Lulu in his arms, walked out of the Libo Training Hall.
A gentle voice echoed under the warm streetlights:
“You don’t need to understand. You won’t face this situation. Let’s go home now; Fangy is probably eager to come out.”
“Seek~”
“Lulu…”
…
Three days later.
“Lulu, use Healing Light on Fangy.”
“Lulu.” Lulu didn’t even turn its head.
Impossible.
“How’s your Healing Waves coming along? Show me once.”
“Lulu~ Lulululu~ Lulululu~”
“Lulu, use Healing Light on Fangy.”
“Lulu.” Lulu nodded.
“Fangy.”
Under the healing effects of Healing Light, Fangy looked comfortable.
“Fangy, let’s continue training.”
“Fangy!”
“Lulu…”
Watching its Beastmaster and Fangy walk away, Lulu wore a look of utter disbelief.
How could it be healing Fangy again?!
Three days!
Fangy trains at school and practices at home. When will it ever catch up?!
“Lulu!”
Thinking of this, Lulu buried itself in training once more.
No way! Fangy is training, so it needs to catch up fast!
Qiao Sang brought Fangy to an empty space in the courtyard and said, “Fangy, when you train with Treasure Seeker, don’t use Teleport and Mars Rain. Try to dodge attacks by moving, rather than just using Skills to counter.”
Ever since seeing the ten-clawed Multi-claw Crab Shuttlecock Kicking at the Sports Meet, Qiao Sang had been eager to train Fangy’s coordination.
However, training Fire-type Skills’ coordination doesn’t help much with controlling a Clone from a very long distance.
To enhance the control over a Clone, besides proficiency and Mental Power, one must train control over the body and energy.
Combat training can help improve control over these aspects.
Unfortunately, Fangy’s battles always end in an instant, rendering the training of controlling power ineffective.
With no choice, Qiao Sang had to weaken Fangy’s abilities, instructing it not to use Teleport and Mars Rain.
Coordination is the body’s ability to correctly adapt to various sudden changes.
Good coordination requires the cooperation of different body parts.
Muscles and joints must all be exercised.
If Fangy uses Teleport, it won’t get the necessary training.
As for Mars Rain, if it’s used, there’s no point in training at all; it would just end up needing Lulu to heal it.
“Fangy!”
Fangy nodded seriously after hearing its Beastmaster’s words.
“Treasure Seeker, you need to initiate more attacks and don’t just keep dodging.” Qiao Sang turned to Treasure Seeker and said.
“Seek!”
Treasure Seeker patted its chest with its Golden Glove-clad paw, indicating, “No problem at all.”
