Chapter 783: Phantom Beast Adinix (Third Update for Cold Illusion Purple)
Birit saw Qiao Sang's action and was initially taken aback, then he frowned slightly and asked, "Why did you recall Iceapura?"
He was very familiar with the process of recalling a familiar.
Although Iceapura didn't disappear right before his eyes, Qiao Sang's sudden action, combined with Flame Kiru and Ghost Ring King still being outside, clearly indicated that she had recalled Iceapura.
This action, along with Qiao Sang's state upon waking up, made Birit a bit concerned.
Only a little over an hour had passed, and soaking in the Energy Pool was such a good opportunity. If nothing had truly gone wrong, he believed Qiao Sang wouldn't have recalled Iceapura so early.
Qiao Sang took a few seconds to suppress her nausea and said, "Lulu has finished absorbing the energy."
Birit: "???"
Finished absorbing? That shouldn't be the case... Birit never expected this answer.
Iceapura was currently in the early General-Class stage, and since it could Awaken an Epic Skill using an Awakening Stone, its talent should have been among the best. It shouldn't have absorbed energy to the point of saturation so quickly...
At this moment, the staff member walked over and inquired, "Miss Qiao Sang, the security personnel just informed me that Iceapura disappeared from the Energy Pool. Did you recall it?"
The Energy Pool actually had security cameras, so the scene of her feeding the worm... No, no, calm down. Others don't know that bird is hers... Qiao Sang calmly replied, "Yes."
The staff member, noticing the black-haired girl's less-than-pleasant expression, asked, "Would you like to rest now, or shall I continue showing you around the next attraction?"
"I'd like to rest for a bit", Qiao Sang said.
"Very well, please follow me to the rest area", the staff member said respectfully and started leading the way.
On the way, Birit finally couldn't help but confirm, "Are you sure Iceapura has absorbed all the energy?"
"Absolutely", Qiao Sang was still in a state of not being fully adjusted.
She opened her mouth to mention the Everstone glowing: "Lulu..."
But just as she started to speak, Qiao Sang's heart skipped a beat, and her mind became much clearer.
Even if the energy absorption was complete, without the intense emotions and the -60-degree weather, the Everstone wouldn't have changed.
If she revealed the truth, Professor Bilet would immediately realize something was off.
Qiao Sang paused and continued, "Lulu was in a lot of pain, and the Healing Light was almost constantly in use."
Birit fell silent for a moment and then comforted her, "Iceapura has only recently Evolved, so absorbing less energy is to be expected. You don't need to worry too much; this pain won't continue after leaving the Energy Pool."
No wonder Qiao Sang looked so uncomfortable earlier. She didn't expect Iceapura to only be able to absorb energy for such a short time...
The Healing Light indeed helped restore its condition, but since Iceapura was constantly in the Energy Pool, it would experience pain again almost immediately after being healed.
If Iceapura had indeed persisted in casting several waves of Healing Light, that was already quite impressive...
Under the staff member's guidance, the two arrived at a private lounge.
As soon as Qiao Sang stepped in, she wanted to use hand seals to summon Lulu.
But it was her first time using the Everstone on her familiar, and she wasn't sure if the Everstone on Lulu's neck was still glowing.
If it was still glowing, Professor Bilet would definitely realize something was amiss.
Moreover, Lulu's size in the Energy Pool was its true size, so summoning it would result in the same size, which the lounge couldn't accommodate. Even going to a more private place, like the bathroom, wouldn't be enough for Lulu to stay...
Given the Golden Finger issue, Qiao Sang couldn't help but consider things more carefully.
She was starting to want to go back...
When the staff member brought coffee and a plate of delicate pastries, Qiao Sang said, "Teacher, should we go back now?"
Birit was taken aback, "Don't you want to visit more attractions?"
It's free, after all...
Qiao Sang shook her head, "I came here for the Energy Pool, and now that I've finished, I need to take care of other matters when I get back."
Her resolve was truly firm. To resist the temptation of free tours in Ita Valley was quite impressive... Birit admired her determination in his heart and stood up, "Then let's head back."
The staff member hurriedly stepped forward, "We have many other attractions here. Are you sure you don't want to experience more?"
He was assigned to specifically host her, and if the management found out that the Vip guest left early, he would be considered incompetent.
"No, thank you", Qiao Sang stood up and shook her head.
"Then we'll keep your slot reserved. Please come back next time for a more thorough experience", the staff member quickly said.
He had been specifically instructed to ensure Miss Qiao Sang would be hooked and want to return.
Although he didn't have the time to watch the match, the other distinguished guests here had all discussed the champion of the Beastmaster Star Tournament.
The topic that garnered the most attention was her Healing Light, an Iceapurafamiliar.
Today, they intercepted many distinguished guests who wanted to approach and chat with her.
Although it wasn't explicitly stated, he knew that the higher-ups wanted Miss Qiao Sang to have a pleasant experience here, so she would come back often.
This way, other big shots who were interested in Healing Light would come here, drawn by her reputation.
So, he made this decision, and the higher-ups would definitely not blame him for it.
"Good job." As expected, praise came through his earpiece from the higher-ups.
"Xunxun!"
Before Qiao Sang could speak, the Treasure Seeker next to her nodded vigorously, promising to come again next time.
Qiao Sang glanced at the Treasure Seeker, then withdrew her gaze and smiled.
"Alright."
...
Villa.
As soon as Qiao Sang entered the living room, she formed a seal with both hands.
Two Amber Star Arrays lit up.
She wasn't sure if it was just her imagination, but the Amber Star Arrays seemed to be brighter than before.
Soon, Lulu and Steel Treasure appeared in the Star Array.
The Everstone didn't glow, suggesting that it didn't always emit light... Qiao Sang observed Lulu's condition and the Everstone, then sighed in relief and asked:
"Lulu, are you okay?"
"Ice Ai..."
Before being summoned back to the Beastmaster Codex, Lulu had just used a Healing Light, and the Codex itself had healing properties. The excruciating pain Lulu had been feeling had long since disappeared, but it called out in a somewhat unhappy tone, indicating that the absorption time had been too short, and it hadn't absorbed all the energy from the Energy Pool.
If you keep absorbing, the Everstone's level might have to be reset to a sophomore year... Qiao Sang thought to herself, then said softly, "You've already absorbed to the most advanced stage of the General-Class. The energy in that pool is enough for several General-Class Beast Companions to absorb."
"Ice Ai."
Lulu's eyes brightened at this.
Qiao Sang, who had been at the scene, understood the specific situation and added, "The reason you absorbed so quickly is that you were actively channeling the energy, while others were just soaking in it like a hot spring."
"Ice Ai."
Lulu's spirits lifted, her eyes shining even brighter, and her tail unconsciously swayed.
"Wait!" Qiao Sang's eyes suddenly became serious.
Lulu, noticing the change, felt a bit nervous.
"Have you grown bigger?" Qiao Sang asked hesitantly.
She hadn't noticed it when Lulu was in bird form, as everything seemed larger then. Now, with her normal vision, she realized something was off.
Standing next to Steel Treasure, Lulu didn't seem as small as usual.
"Steel Slash."
Steel Treasure glanced at Lulu and nodded, confirming that it had indeed grown.
"Ice Ai..."
Lulu let out a sigh of relief.
She thought it was something more serious...
"Fangy!"
Fangy, who had been watching Lulu, eyes bright with excitement, seemed eager to try something.
...
At the same time.
Ita Valley.
The staff member who checked the Energy Pool every day stared blankly at the scene before him, his forehead breaking out in a cold sweat.
How did the Energy Pool's water become so clear?!
He distinctly remembered that only one General-Class Beast Companion was scheduled to enter today!
...
12:02 AM.
Bedroom.
Lulu's level had indeed reached the million cap... Qiao Sang's consciousness withdrew from the Beastmaster Codex and returned to reality.
At that moment, her mobile phone vibrated.
Qiao Sang grabbed it and saw a message from Dean Virginia of the Journalism Academy:
[Here's a piece of news: A Phantom Beast Adinix has appeared in the Thirtieth District.]
Phantom Beast Adinix?
Before Qiao Sang could react, another message arrived:
[You haven't seen a Phantom Beast in our Supernest, right? Are you interested in seeing one?]
It's not as if you can just find a Phantom Beast in the vast Thirtieth District... Qiao Sang was intrigued but replied:
[Is there some sort of artifact specifically for finding Adinix?]
She remembered that during the Hollow Plains incident, they had auctioned off the Gentle Breeze Compass, which was said to be able to find the legendary familiar Qingqing Ni.
Dean Virginia replied quickly:
[No]
Qiao Sang: "..."
Happy 520!
