Chapter 778: The Leader's Beginning
Chapter 778: The Leader's Beginning
Binding nine familiars requires developing the brain domain to 90%. Is Professor Bilet really that confident in me...
After all, there are very few people in the entire galaxy who can develop their brain domain to this level...
Qiao Sang's expression was complicated as she gave an "ok" gesture and then started the first tutorial video.
"First, interlock your fingers, then raise your pinkies and touch them together while communicating with your brain domain to connect with the two familiars you want to summon. Next, hook your pinkies, ring fingers, and middle fingers together, and overlap your thumbs and index fingers. Then, place your palms together and flatten them... Remember, while performing the hand gestures, don't break the connection between your brain domain and the familiars..."
Qiao Sang followed the actions in the video and began performing the seal gestures.
Soon, two equally sized Orange Star Arrays lit up on the floor.
"Fangy."
Fangy disappeared from the bed and appeared in the Star Array, still looking like he was asleep.
"Steel Slash."
Steel Slash stared at its Beastmaster, its eyes seeming to ask, "Why did you summon me?"
So, it's this simple... Qiao Sang felt a surge of joy but coughed to hide her excitement. "Nothing, I just wanted to try the seal. You can go back to what you were doing."
Steel Slash listened and was about to head back to the open-air arena for training. But then it seemed to remember something, stopped, and turned around, calling out.
"Steel Slash?"
Do you want me to keep practicing?
"Yep", Qiao Sang nodded.
Although she succeeded on her first attempt, she still needed to consolidate her practice, and there were seven more seal gestures to learn.
Even if the seals for summoning four familiars at once didn't show immediate results, she needed to familiarize herself with the gestures first.
"Steel Slash..."
Steel Slash gave its Beastmaster a meaningful look and called out, indicating that it would stay to avoid being summoned back later.
That makes sense... Qiao Sang said, "Alright, you can stay."
With that, she continued practicing the seals.
...
2:00 AM.
"Xunxun..."
Treasure Seeker floated beside its Beastmaster, confirming that she was truly asleep, and quietly extended its claws to pick up the mobile phone on the bedside table.
Just as its claws touched the phone, Qiao Sang turned over in her sleep.
Treasure Seeker was startled and immediately vanished.
"Tick-tock, tick-tock..."
The second hand of the alarm clock on the desk continued to tick rhythmically.
"Xunxun..."
Five seconds later, after confirming that its Beastmaster was still asleep, Treasure Seeker reappeared and breathed a sigh of relief.
It picked up the mobile phone and then disappeared from the spot.
...
On a deserted street, a Mechanical Familiar in uniform was flying along, patrolling the area.
In a dark alley it had just passed, several Ghost Familiars were huddled together, their heads bowed, staring at the screen of a mobile phone.
The screen was playing the final match of the Beastmaster Star Tournament, showing the battle between Treasure Seeker and Bimo Fox.
As the video reached the moment when Bimo Fox fell and the referee blew the whistle, Treasure Seeker turned off the phone and stood up proudly.
"Heh heh..."
"Len len..."
"Gui gui..."
The Ghost Familiars immediately looked up, their eyes filled with admiration as they gazed at Treasure Seeker.
"Xunxun?"
Treasure Seeker basked in the adoring gazes of the Ghost Familiars, calling out to ask if this strength was enough to be their leader.
"Ji ji!"
"Lian lian!"
"Gui gui!"
The Ghost Familiars nodded vigorously.
"Xun xun~"
Treasure Seeker felt a surge of pride, almost bursting to laugh out loud.
Claiming Little Brothers was a piece of cake!
"Gui gui!"
At that moment, a Ghost Familiar about a meter tall, with a deep purple body and a single large eye, called out angrily, indicating that some other guy had been bullying them lately!
"Ji ji!"
"Lian lian!"
The other two Ghost Familiars nodded forcefully.
The Ghost Familiars looked at Treasure Seeker, their expressions clearly saying, "You have to help us!"
"Xun xun?!"
Treasure Seeker, upon hearing this and feeling the gazes of his Little Brothers, immediately showed a look of shock and indignation. "What? Someone dares to bully my Little Brothers?!"
"Gui gui!"
"Gui gui!"
The single-eyed Ghost Familiar spoke with righteous anger.
That guy was also a leader, and he had been using the few Little Brothers under him to cause trouble at night, forcing them to hand over Emotional Energy.
With the strict human control over Emotional Energy, they could only gather a little each day, and sometimes not at all. How could they just give it away for free?
This was outright robbery!
"Ji ji!"
"Lian lian!"
The other two Ghost Familiars nodded in agreement.
"Xun xun!"
Treasure Seeker couldn't stand it any longer and called out, indicating that they should go find that guy right away!
"Gui gui!"
"Ji ji!"
"Lian lian!"
The Ghost Familiars showed excited expressions and immediately floated ahead to lead the way.
On a quiet, deserted street, the Ghost Familiars, full of determination, escorted Treasure Seeker toward their destination.
...
7:05 AM.
Qiao Sang woke up naturally, habitually picked up her mobile phone to check the time, and then looked toward the desk, only to find that Treasure Seeker wasn't playing on the computer.
Not playing the computer today... Qiao Sang muttered to herself, got up, and quickly freshened up before heading to the living room.
At first glance, she saw Treasure Seeker drinking an Energy Recovery Serum and gobbling down Energy Pills that had already been prepared.
"What did you do last night to be this hungry?" Qiao Sang asked as she pulled out a chair and sat down.
"Xun xun..."
Treasure Seeker looked up and called out, its mouth stuffed with Energy Pills, making its speech a bit unclear.
But Qiao Sang still understood what it meant.
"Claiming Little Brothers is that tiring?" Qiao Sang asked casually.
"Xun xun..."
Treasure Seeker swallowed the Energy Pills and sighed.
It was more tiring than he had imagined.
"Did you get any Little Brothers?" Qiao Sang asked again.
"Xun xun~"
At the mention of this, Treasure Seeker perked up, calling out proudly to indicate that of course he had.
Already got Little Brothers? Qiao Sang was momentarily stunned.
Then she thought of something, entered the Beastmaster Codex, and quickly flipped to the page about Treasure Seeker, her gaze moving down.
【Fifth Trait】
【Level: C (120/1000), Status: Usable】
【Description: Causes Oppressive Aura, making the opponent feel a Dominant Aura.】
Damn, he really did get Little Brothers... Qiao Sang was pleasantly surprised.
Data doesn't lie. When Treasure Seeker went out the past two days, there was no change in the Oppressive Aura. She had checked it as usual before going to bed yesterday, and it still hadn't changed.
But now, the data had suddenly jumped to 120.
Although it didn't seem like much, it was clearly a sign of progress, indicating that this training direction was effective!
Qiao Sang's consciousness returned to reality, and she looked at Treasure Seeker with a very satisfied expression.
She had originally thought that without her around, Treasure Seeker might get distracted by new things and forget the main task. But it turned out that Treasure Seeker had been seriously practicing Oppressive Aura.
It seemed Treasure Seeker was more disciplined than she had thought.
If it continues to be this disciplined for a while, maybe she could get it a mobile phone.
...
Forty minutes later.
Thanks to Treasure Seeker's Spatial Shift, Qiao Sang arrived at the classroom.
As soon as she appeared, there was a loud "bang", and confetti flew around.
"Congratulations on winning the championship!"
The classmates said in unison.
Qiao Sang was taken aback for a moment, feeling a wave of emotion.
She was about to say something when a classmate beside her eagerly spoke up:
"We all watched yesterday's match, it was amazing!"
"Really! Flame Kiru can use Lava Hell! You were hiding that deep!"
"How did you train that? I remember that's an Epic Skill!"
"And Ghost Ring King, so cool!"
"You won the championship, have you decided which familiar will go to the Energy Pool?"
"Energy Pool?" Qiao Sang looked at the classmate who said this.
"You don't know?" The classmate noticed the confusion in Qiao Sang's eyes and was surprised.
"What is the Energy Pool?" Qiao Sang asked.
"It's a place where familiars can soak to increase their Absorb Energy", a classmate beside her explained. "There's only one Energy Pool in the First District, and the number of spots available each year is said to be very limited. It's said to allow familiars to boost their energy without any side effects, but familiars above the Royal Tier are prohibited from entering because they would absorb all the energy in the pool."
"That's right", another classmate added. "Didn't you get a ring as part of your prize yesterday? This ring not only represents honor but also allows you to visit the Energy Pool."
Qiao Sang was not from Supernest, so she didn't know about the significance of the ring or the Energy Pool, and most of her classmates weren't surprised by her lack of knowledge.
While they all aspired to go to the Energy Pool, it wasn't absolutely necessary.
After all, the Energy Pool's main function was to help familiars advance from the early stages to the later stages of their internal energy, compressing the time needed to Absorb Energy.
Of course, that was the best-case scenario.
Not all familiars who soaked in the pool would reach the later stages of energy. Most would only reach the maximum level of energy they could currently Absorb.
But the most important thing for familiars was perfect Evolution.
Sometimes, the process of growth was just as crucial for achieving perfect Evolution.
Ring, Energy Pool... Qiao Sang looked surprised.
She didn't know about this at all!
No one had told her!
Yesterday, she had carefully examined the ring with the familiar design, and seeing her name engraved on the inside, she had assumed it was just a simple honor prize!
"Where is the Energy Pool?" Qiao Sang pondered for a moment and asked.
"I'm not sure", a female classmate shook her head. "But there will definitely be official personnel who will contact you, or you can reach out to them directly."
