Chapter 673: None of Them Are Simple
Qiao Sang opened the door, her face full of surprise:
"Vice Principal, weren’t you supposed to come tomorrow?"
Liu Yao hurriedly took off his shoes and stepped inside: "I got off the starship and rushed over immediately, so I arrived a bit early."
As he spoke, he looked around, as if searching for something.
"Leao, where’s Flame Kiru?" Liu Yao said eagerly. "Let it come out for me to see."
"It’s training in the Training Field outside", Qiao Sang said, leading the way. "I’ll take you there."
Fangy must have been quite excited today, training non-stop since it returned.
Qiao Sang led Vice Principal through the living room to the Open Training Ground at the back.
Red’s figure, adorned with Flame Wings, stood out prominently in the night, immediately catching the eye.
Liu Yao stood there, stunned, gazing at Red’s distant figure, almost dumbfounded.
It really did Evolve… At this moment, Liu Yao finally felt the reality of Blazing Star Hound’s Evolution into Flame Kiru.
"Fangy!" Qiao Sang called out.
Hearing its Beastmaster’s call, Fangy instantly stopped training and ran over happily.
"Ya Ya!"
When it saw Liu Yao, it looked genuinely happy.
It hadn’t forgotten that the Energy Pills it used to take were formulated by this human.
Liu Yao took a deep breath and reached out to stroke Fangy’s fur.
Fangy didn’t dodge.
"Tell me in detail how you made the Blazing Star Hound Evolve", Liu Yao said, continuing to stroke Fangy.
"Well, I initially had Fangy use a Dream Insight Stone…" Qiao Sang explained how she came up with the idea to have Fangy Evolve at the volcano.
"You used the Dream Insight Stone correctly", Liu Yao praised. "Given the difference in appearance between Blazing Star Hound and Flame Kiru, it’s very likely that Fangy chose the most suitable Evolution path from the two available."
As he spoke, he moved his hand from Fangy’s left leg to its right leg.
"Ya Fangy"
Fangy was getting a bit annoyed with the constant petting, but it endured it, remembering the Energy Pills it used to enjoy.
Liu Yao continued:
"The color of a Familiar’s body usually represents its internal attributes. During the Blazing Star Hound stage, it was clear that the Psychic Type attributes were more prominent than they are now in the Flame Kiru stage."
Qiao Sang nodded in agreement:
"Indeed, this time Fangy Awakened only Fire-Type Skills."
Then she thought of something and said, somewhat worried:
"I’m concerned that Fangy’s future Evolution paths are unknown. There are several possible Evolution paths, but I might not encounter another Dream Insight Stone to help it Evolve into the most suitable form."
Liu Yao: "…"
You’re already thinking about Royal Tier Evolution for a Blazing Star Hound that just Evolved into a General-Class one? Isn’t that a bit premature… Liu Yao was about to say this, but then he remembered that it took Fangy only about half a year to Evolve into Flame Kiru, and he fell silent.
After a long moment, he said:
"Most Familiars generally have multiple Evolution forms and paths in the early stages, but they usually settle into a single Evolution chain by the later stages, with no more multiple forms appearing."
"Flame Kiru is already at the General-Class stage. Theoretically, its bloodline should be thoroughly stabilized, and its Evolution chain fixed. The situation you’re worried about shouldn’t happen."
Qiao Sang breathed a sigh of relief: "That’s a relief."
By now, Liu Yao’s hand had moved from Fangy’s front legs to its back legs.
Qiao Sang asked: "By the way, now that Fangy has Evolved into Flame Kiru, will it be difficult to study the Evolution of Flame Listener into Blazing Star Hound?"
Liu Yao pondered for a moment:
"It will indeed be troublesome, but it's not a huge problem. When I configured the Energy Pill for Blazing Star Hound, I based it on its physical condition at the time, and I still have the data on record."
Qiao Sang thought for a moment and said:
"Why don't you directly check Fangy's current physical data? That way, you won't have to worry about Fangy evolving again while you're trying to study how Blazing Star Hound evolved into Flame Kiru."
Liu Yao was silent for a few seconds: "That's what I was thinking."
He no longer dared to view Qiao Sang as just another prodigy.
After all, reaching 39% brain domain at the age of 16 and having his first Advanced Familiar evolve into a Champion-level Familiar in just half a year were both incredibly rare achievements.
Liu Yao continued:
"I'll be staying at Supernest for the next six months. If you have any questions, feel free to come find me."
Qiao Sang's eyes lit up: "I have one right now!"
"What is it?" Liu Yao asked.
"Fangy's Energy Pill." Qiao Sang added with a smile: "I haven't had a Familiar Trainer customize an Energy Pill for Fangy since he evolved. I've been waiting for you, Vice Principal, to help me with it."
"Ya Ya!"
Fangy instantly forgot about the hand that had been petting him for several minutes. He wagged his tail, looked at Liu Yao, and wore an expectant expression.
Liu Yao was taken aback for a moment, then smiled: "I understand."
...
A stranger suddenly appeared in the room, and Steel Treasure was a bit curious about this new human who seemed to be on good terms with his Beastmaster.
However, he quietly observed from the side without making a sound.
Until the human noticed him.
"What familiar is this?" Liu Yao asked after checking Fangy's physical state and noticing the familiar that had been quietly watching him.
"Steel Guardian. It's the familiar I bonded with at Supernest", Qiao Sang explained.
Liu Yao was taken aback for a moment.
He had been so preoccupied with Blazing Star Hound's evolution into Flame Kiru that he almost forgot Qiao Sang had already bonded with a fourth familiar...
Liu Yao looked at Steel Treasure.
Steel Treasure stared back at Liu Yao.
They stared at each other for a while, then Steel Treasure stepped forward and called out "Steel Guardian", indicating that he wanted Liu Yao to check his body and write an Energy Pill formula for him.
He had observed that this human could perform a thorough check-up on Big Brother Yabao, so he must be more skilled than the human who had checked him before.
Given that his Beastmaster had a good relationship with this human, he must be trustworthy.
"It wants you to check its body and write an Energy Pill formula for it", Qiao Sang said, initially taken aback, then translating the request.
Ah? Liu Yao was silent for a moment before speaking:
"It's not that I don't want to help, but there are Familiar Trainers at Supernest who specialize in the Steel Guardian species. They would be more suitable to configure an Energy Pill for it."
Qiao Sang chuckled:
"No problem, it's a Bond Evolution, and it's the first of its kind at Supernest."
Liu Yao: "..."
He had been so focused on Flame Kiru that he almost forgot about this...
Now that he thought about it, Qiao Sang had indeed mentioned this...
Unfortunately, it's not a Blue Star familiar, or else he would have another research project... Liu Yao thought with a hint of regret.
He adjusted his mindset and smiled, waving at Steel Treasure:
"Come on, let me see."
"Steel Guardian."
...
The villa had many rooms, so Qiao Sang let Vice Principal stay there without hesitation.
Liu Yao had come to Supernest to handle Fangy's matter, so he didn't hesitate and chose a room on the first floor.
In the middle of the night, he suddenly heard some commotion and got up to go to the living room.
In the dimly lit living room, the glow from the computer screen immediately caught Liu Yao's attention.
He saw Ghost Ring floating in front of the computer, with its two claws' Short Toes using 3D Shadow Control to type rapidly on the keyboard.
Liu Yao instinctively rubbed his eyes.
Realizing that everything he saw was real, he stood there in a daze, unable to regain his composure for a long time.
...
The next morning.
Qiao Sang saw Vice Principal appear in front of her with two large dark circles under his eyes.
"Vice Principal, did you not sleep well?" Qiao Sang asked out of concern.
"Maybe I spent too much time on the starship, and my schedule hasn't adjusted yet", Liu Yao said with a weary expression.
"Lulu, use Healing Light", Qiao Sang said immediately upon hearing this.
Vice Principal had helped with Fangy's examination and the inspection of Steel Treasure. She couldn't bear the thought of him getting exhausted because of it.
Without a word, Lulu's gem on her forehead glowed with a blue light, shining on Liu Yao.
After the blue light faded, Liu Yao's dark circles disappeared, and he regained his usual mature and steady appearance.
"Vice Principal, are you feeling better?" Qiao Sang asked.
This was the feeling of being treated by an Epic Skill, Healing Light... Liu Yao's expression was extremely complex.
He suddenly realized that even without Flame Kiru, Qiao Sang's other three familiars were no ordinary creatures...
"I feel much better now", Liu Yao steadied his mindset and said, "I'm going out to purchase materials for making Energy Pills today. You can do your own thing, no need to worry about me."
"Let's go together", Qiao Sang said. "I've gotten to know the First District a bit over the past few days and know where to buy the materials for making Energy Pills."
She had planned to accompany Vice Principal around the First District today anyway.
"No need", Liu Yao declined.
"Focus on your own business. I'll handle the Energy Pills."
He couldn't bear to waste such a talented person's time on helping him buy materials.
Seeing Vice Principal's serious expression, Qiao Sang didn't insist and nodded. "Alright then."
She then repeated the house password to him.
...
Since Vice Principal didn't need her, and Treasure Seeker hadn't placed in the top three, Qiao Sang went to the club for training as usual.
As soon as she entered, she noticed that the few guests in the lobby and the receptionist were looking at her strangely.
Qiao Sang didn't think much of it, but when she saw Coach Elma's gaze was the same, she finally couldn't help but ask:
"What's going on? Why are you looking at me like that?"
Elma hesitated for a moment before saying:
"Did you participate in the Ghost-type Companion Beast match for collecting negative energy yesterday?"
Qiao Sang was taken aback. "How do you know?"
Elma's expression was complex. "You were on the news."
Qiao Sang's mind was filled with a series of question marks. She immediately took out her mobile phone and checked the trending news.
"I don't see anything", Qiao Sang said as she looked through it.
"Search for the keyword, 'Blue Star Ghost-type Companion Beast appears,'" Elma said.
"Xunxun~"
Treasure Seeker, upon hearing this, realized they were talking about her. She quickly appeared, floating next to her Beastmaster, and eagerly stared at the mobile phone screen, wanting to see how the news reported on her.
