Chapter 662: Stinkpuff (Third Update for Yan Xinhua, the Guild Leader!)
Am I really that impressive? Qiao Sang was a bit confused.
She didn't feel anything at all!
Right, Lulu's Healing Light has reached Mastery Peak. Some familiars with innate healing skills or healing traits can enhance a Beastmaster's immune resistance... This must be Lulu's replenishment... Qiao Sang thought to herself.
The immune resistance of the girl in front of her was far too abnormal. Elma held back for a moment but couldn't resist asking:
"Do you have a healing-type familiar?"
Qiao Sang snapped back to reality and nodded. "Yes, I have a Water and Ice Type familiar. It knows healing skills."
Elma's eyes were filled with anticipation as she looked at the girl.
Keep going!
Don't stop!
What kind of familiar?
What level?
What healing skills?
Tell me more!
Why are you staring at me like that... Qiao Sang was puzzled, then she thought of something and asked, "What about my defensive strength? How is it?"
Elma's expression changed a few times before she spoke.
"It's quite normal, just a bit better than an average person. For example, you wouldn't get a scrape if you fell."
Qiao Sang found it pretty good, better than she had expected. After all, Steel Treasure was only an Intermediate Beast, and she hadn't really counted on it giving her much defensive strength.
As a coach with a good reputation, Elma managed to hold back her curiosity and composed herself before continuing.
"There are many ways to strengthen your defensive strength. One is to have a familiar that specializes in various defensive abilities, which can step in to protect you at the first sign of danger."
"Another is to bond with a combat-type familiar and work hard to help it evolve, which will provide you with replenishment."
At this point, she glanced at Steel Treasure.
"Of course, your Steel Guardian can also help. It's a Steel-type familiar, and if it evolves, your own defensive strength will improve."
Hearing this, Steel Treasure had a thoughtful look on its face.
Elma continued, "The third way is to train your own defensive abilities. I tested you just now, and your defensive strength isn't quite enough to withstand an attack from a Beginner Beast. In game terms, your skin is still the initial equipment, providing just a bit of defense, but not much."
Got it, it means I need to spend money to get stronger... Qiao Sang thought to herself, but she kept a straight face.
"How should I start training?"
"You're not ready to start training yet", Elma smiled. "For now, you should prepare for it. Otherwise, with your build, you might get injured after just a few sessions."
Am I really that weak... Qiao Sang pouted.
"I have a suggestion", Elma said. "You can have your Steel Guardian train with you on defensive strength. If a Beastmaster trains in defensive strength with a familiar that can provide replenishment, the results will be better."
"Let's get started then." Qiao Sang didn't forget that they were being charged by the hour.
"Alright." Elma nodded and made a hand sign.
The Amber Star Array lit up, and a familiar about three meters tall appeared within it. Its body was mostly green, with white fangs slightly visible, and its lower body and claws were cream-colored. It had a short tail.
"Stinkpuff."
The familiar let out a call, which was its way of greeting.
Elma introduced it, "This is Stinkpuff. Its toxin can harden human skin for a certain period. First, you'll apply the toxin, wait for it to absorb, and then we'll start the training."
Qiao Sang hesitated, "Is it safe to apply toxin to my skin?"
Elma smiled and said, "Don't worry. I just checked, and your immune resistance is so strong that even a General-Class Toxic-Type Familiar couldn't poison you instantly."
"Stinkpuff is an Advanced Toxic-Type Familiar, and its toxin won't harm you much. The skin hardening is only temporary and will revert to normal after some time."
"Moreover, its toxin has benefits. If your body can withstand the toxicity, it will leave behind some beneficial substances that can strengthen your subcutaneous tissue."
"These substances can enhance your defensive strength, and many people with loose skin choose to apply Stinkpuff's toxin to firm up their skin."
"After all, firmer subcutaneous tissue leads to more elastic skin, which often looks younger."
Qiao Sang was taken aback. He didn't expect it to have a beauty effect...
Elma then thought of something and added, "Even if some people can't withstand it, we have a specific antidote prepared here."
Qiao Sang was impressed by the people who could tough it out. "An Advanced Toxic-Type Familiar's toxin!"
"Is that something an ordinary person can withstand?"
Well, I guess I'm not exactly ordinary... Qiao Sang nodded slightly and said, "I'm ready."
Elma looked at Stinkpuff. "Let's begin."
"Stink."
Stinkpuff called out, walked up, and extended its claws to take Qiao Sang's hand. It then lowered its head, bringing its fangs close.
Just 0.1 centimeters away from his hand, a drop of purplish-black toxin slowly dripped from the tip of Stinkpuff's fangs and landed on Qiao Sang's hand.
Elma explained, "Usually, one drop is enough. It will affect your entire body, causing your skin to harden."
"Xunxun~"
Treasure Seeker appeared, curiously leaning in for a closer look.
Elma was startled and jumped back, shouting, "Puncher!"
"Thrust Punch!"
Puncher immediately assumed a defensive stance, condensing energy and raising his fist.
Qiao Sang quickly said, "This is my familiar."
Elma and Puncher both let out a sigh of relief.
"Xunxun~"
Treasure Seeker looked innocent.
"Sorry, I got a bit too nervous. I thought it was a wild beast companion", Elma said apologetically.
"It's fine, that's a normal reaction", Qiao Sang smiled.
"Xunxun?"
Treasure Seeker couldn't resist using its claws to poke Qiao Sang's cheek.
It didn't harden here?
What kind of familiar is this? Elma examined the small Ghost-Type Companion Beast that suddenly appeared, feeling curious but not forgetting her duty.
"Normally, when a person comes into contact with Stinkpuff's toxin, they experience intense pain all over their body, as well as skin hardening. The fact that you feel nothing is a testament to your non-human immune resistance."
Thanks, Lulu... Qiao Sang thought to himself.
Elma checked the time on her phone. "It's about done. Your skin should be hardened now."
"Xunxun..."
Treasure Seeker poked Qiao Sang's cheek again.
"Xunxun!"
Feeling the texture, Treasure Seeker's eyes widened in surprise.
It really did harden!
"Steel Guardian."
Steel Treasure quietly moved over and poked with its wings, then lowered them and nodded.
It's definitely hardened.
Qiao Sang wanted to laugh but found his mouth couldn't form a smile.
He couldn't help but think: This skin is really hard...
