Raise the level of Ancient Dragon's Will? Qiao Sang froze for a moment, then asked:
"How do we do that?"
Mikala said, "There are three ways to raise the level of Ancient Dragon's Will. First, evolution. If the concentration of ancient blood in a pet beast's body increases, its Ancient Dragon's Will may rise in level. Second, training. By constantly fighting and challenging stronger opponents, a pet beast can strengthen its will through adversity, potentially transforming it and raising its level..."
She stopped there.
The first option is impossible—Ting Bao can't evolve before the competition. The second probably requires a long period of training, so that won't happen anytime soon either... Qiao Sang quickly analyzed the options, then asked:
"What's the third method?"
Mikala looked at her and said:
"The third method is actually somewhat similar to the second. The pet beast voluntarily withstands the pressure of a high-level pet beast, preferably a Dragon-type Pet Beast. Repeated impacts on its mind temper its will, staying just within the limit of what it can endure without breaking down, and raise the level of its ability."
After a pause, she added:
"This method doesn't require combat, only endurance and tempering. It also strengthens the will faster, but there's a risk."
"What risk?" Qiao Sang obligingly asked.
Mikala said gravely, "If the impact on its mind exceeds what it can withstand, it can easily cause permanent mental damage."
That doesn't seem like much of a problem. Lu Bao's Healing Light can completely heal mental injuries... With that thought, Qiao Sang said:
"Lu Bao has Healing Light. It can heal mental damage."
Mikala said calmly, "It can, but if things actually reach the point of mental damage, Ting Bao will still be affected."
She stopped again, deliberately leaving an opening.
Qiao Sang: "..."
