Chapter 733: Is This Reasonable?
Chapter 733: Is This Reasonable?
Class one of the Beast Mastery Department.
A middle-aged man with a lean face stood on the podium, lecturing:
"Some familiars have multiple attributes, but there are always primary and secondary attributes. Generally, familiars find it much harder to learn skills related to their secondary attributes compared to their primary ones."
"Sometimes, blindly pushing familiars to learn powerful skills or constantly teaching them new skills isn't the right choice for those who aspire to excel as professional beastmasters."
"When you train a single skill to its utmost potential, or when you combine two different attributes, it is far more effective than focusing on learning powerful skills or constantly teaching your familiar new ones."
"Familiars have limited energy, and your prime years are now."
"I hope that you will be able to distinguish the importance of different skills. Discard useless ones and spend your time on skills that can easily form combination techniques with your familiars."
As he spoke, he formed seals with his hands.
A purple star array lit up.
Soon, a familiar appeared on the podium. It was about twenty centimeters tall, mostly green, with short limbs, ears that were about half the size of its face, and a body covered in spikes.
The middle-aged man introduced it:
"My Thorn Ear has achieved small success in the later stages with its Grass Needles skill."
He then looked at the Thorn Ear and said, "Show them."
"Thorn!"
The Thorn Ear cried out.
Immediately, several dozen sharp, green needle-like objects appeared in front of it.
"Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh!"
The Grass Needles shot out.
The entire class followed the trajectory of the Grass Needles.
At a point about one meter from the back wall of the classroom, the Grass Needles stopped and fell to the ground, failing to advance any further.
"This is the current limit of the Thorn Ear's Grass Needles range", the middle-aged man explained, nodding at the Thorn Ear.
"Thorn!"
The Thorn Ear understood its beastmaster's meaning.
It cried out again, and several dozen sharp, green needle-like objects appeared in front of it once more.
The needle-like objects shot out.
The Thorn Ear puffed out its cheeks and blew a powerful gust of wind.
The wind speed instantly caught up with the green needle-like objects.
"Bang, bang, bang!"
With the Speed Boost, the Grass Needles deeply embedded themselves into the back wall of the classroom.
"A Thorn Ear at the later stages of small success can only shoot Grass Needles to the previous distance. However, when combined with the Wind Blast skill, both the speed and range are significantly enhanced", the middle-aged man explained, then waved his hand to return the Thorn Ear to the Beastmaster Codex. "This is a combination technique."
"Of course, this is just the most basic form. Next class, we will be outside, and I hope everyone can demonstrate their own combination techniques."
During the break, a senior from the Maintenance Department entered the classroom and skillfully had their familiar repair the dozen or so needle holes in the wall.
Qiao Sang sat at her desk, pen in hand, thinking about combination techniques.
When she participated in the National School Beastmaster League, she had already studied combination techniques.
Fangy had the Clone skill, and its proficiency in various skills improved rapidly. Once any skill reached a certain level, combining them wasn't difficult.
But not difficult doesn't mean it's appropriate.
Back then, she had simply and crudely combined Fangy's Clone skill with other skills, or used Psychic Control to direct attack-type skills, much like Reactive Shield 2.0.
Now that I think about it, with Fangy and the others having so many more Skills, there might be better ways to combine them.
Qiao Sang pondered. Fangy's attack power was already quite strong, and the proficiency of all its Skills was increasing rapidly. It didn't seem necessary to rely on Combination Techniques to boost the Skills' power just yet.
The Dark Shadow Skill of the Treasure Seeker, when practiced to a high level, could produce a hundredfold illusion.
If it could use other Skills through the Dark Shadow, the attack power would multiply.
Especially when paired with Shadow Control.
In fact, the power of Shadow Control was closely related to the familiar's size.
The larger the body, the larger the shadow.
Whether in 2D Mode or 3D Shadow Control, the larger the familiar, the greater the distance and area it could control, and the stronger the control would be.
The Treasure Seeker hadn't exposed this weakness much yet, mainly because it could teleport, allowing it to move directly to near the target or the target's shadow.
However, the Treasure Seeker was about to practice Spatial Lockdown, and the proficiency of Dark Shadow was still too low. It definitely wouldn't be ready to show off by tomorrow's class.
Just as she was thinking, Dorothy's voice sounded from the side:
"Those senior students don't challenge you anymore. Haven't you thought about challenging the ones ranked above you?"
"Who says no one challenges me? There's still one." Qiao Sang said, taking out her mobile phone and tapping on it.
Then she saw that the Challenge application page, which had one entry, was now blank.
Qiao Sang: "..."
"Let's wait a bit before challenging." Qiao Sang put down her mobile phone, pretending nothing had happened.
She had too much to do during this time, and challenging the Top 100 List didn't offer any substantial benefits beyond a higher rank and a more luxurious dorm room.
She had already rented a villa and would be heading back to Blue Star after this semester. Changing dorms didn't seem necessary.
Dorothy's expression showed she wanted to say something but held back.
She really wanted to see Qiao Sang dominate the senior students, but the other party didn't seem in a hurry.
If others had this level of strength, they would have already challenged the top three on the Top 100 List to earn credits, but Qiao Sang didn't seem to have any such plans.
At that moment, Dorothy remembered that Qiao Sang was an interstellar exchange student, for whom credits weren't important.
Her expression suddenly turned sour as she thought the admissions office must have a spy on Blue Star...
...
The bell for the last class of the afternoon rang.
The teacher promptly dismissed the class.
Qiao Sang looked towards the direction where the Black Flower was floating.
The Treasure Seeker, holding the Black Flower in its claws, appeared. Its eyes glowed with blue light, just about to perform a Spatial Shift.
"Ya Ya!"
Just then, Fangy seemed to catch a pleasant scent, sniffed the air, and showed an excited expression.
"Wait a moment", Qiao Sang said.
"Xunxun..." The blue light in the Treasure Seeker's eyes faded.
"Let's see what tasty treat it is", Qiao Sang said with a smile to Fangy.
The Beastmaster Alliance had several shops that specialized in familiar-friendly cuisine. Every time they walked around campus, Fangy and the others would be drawn to some delicious smell, and Qiao Sang always bought them whatever they wanted.
After all, the time when I have the most money is limited.
“Ya Ya!”
Fangy heard this and immediately wagged her tail, looking delighted.
Then she jumped off her Beastmaster's lap and walked ahead, leading the way.
Qiao Sang followed Fangy out of the classroom and down the elevator.
Hmm? Why are we not heading towards the food street... After walking for about five minutes, Qiao Sang felt a bit puzzled.
At this moment, Fangy's eyes lit up, and her pace quickened considerably.
Soon, she stopped under a towering tree.
Under the tree, an elderly man with graying hair and a black soft cap was feeding something to a bird familiar with a bright red body and a black, fluffy tail.
“Ya Ya!”
Fangy called out excitedly, indicating that it smelled good.
This face seems familiar, like I've seen him somewhere... Red Energy Pills... Qiao Sang was initially taken aback by the old man's appearance, but her eyes quickly moved to the item in his hand, and she was surprised.
She had seen many Energy Pills on the market and custom-made ones, but they were almost always brown or black. This was the first time she had seen red Energy Pills.
“Excuse me, may I ask where you bought these?” Qiao Sang asked as she approached.
Fangy wagged her tail, looking expectant.
The old man looked up at Qiao Sang and smiled kindly. “These aren’t bought; I made them myself.”
As he spoke, he held the Energy Pills out to Fangy.
“Would you like to try some?”
Fangy, though eager, didn’t eat immediately but looked at her Beastmaster for permission.
Qiao Sang nodded.
“Ya Ya!”
Fangy then eagerly took a bite.
Qiao Sang couldn’t help but feel that after Fangy ate the Energy Pill, her Flame Wings seemed to expand and boil a little.
“Do you like it?” the old man asked.
“Ya Ya!”
Fangy’s eyes gleamed, and she wagged her tail wildly.
She likes it!
“Xunxun!”
Treasure Seeker, seeing Fangy’s enthusiasm, emerged and called out, indicating that it also wanted to try.
The old man, as if understanding Treasure Seeker’s meaning, continued to smile. “These Energy Pills are only suitable for Fire Pet Beasts. If you want to try, I can make some for you.”
Qiao Sang suddenly thought of something and asked, “How many credits would that cost?”
The old man’s face twitched slightly, but he quickly regained his composure and said, “No credits needed, but I might not have much time. You can come find me, and I’ll teach you how to make them.”
This... Qiao Sang was a bit hesitant.
Making Energy Pills was clearly a big project that would take a lot of time...
Then she thought of something else and asked, “How many credits would it cost to teach me how to make them?”
The old man’s lips twitched a bit before he said, “No credits needed either.”
What a kind person... Qiao Sang thought to herself.
Who said everything at Yulinton University required credits?
“Ya Ya!”
Fangy wagged her tail, looking expectantly at her Beastmaster.
Seeing Fangy’s eager expression, Qiao Sang hesitated no longer and asked, “May I ask what I should call you?”
The old man smiled. “Linus Berg.”
Damn, I remember now... Isn’t he the Dean of the Cultivation Academy... Qiao Sang looked astonished.
One of the nine high-ranking figures sitting on the stage in the Freshman Welcome Area was this very man!
He wants to teach me how to make Energy Pills?
And it doesn’t cost any credits?
Is this reasonable?
Qiao Sang was momentarily stunned.
Could it be that I’ve caught the eye of this high-ranking figure?
Or does he see great potential in me to become a Familiar Trainer?
