Qiao Sang ran two blocks in one breath with Fire Fang Dog in her arms before finally stopping.
Fire Fang Dog looked up at its Pet Tamer in confusion.
"Let's train somewhere else," Qiao Sang said, panting.
At an open pet beast training ground five kilometers away.
Qiao Sang opened her panel.
Name: Fire Fang Dog Attribute: Fire Level: Beginner (152/1000)+ Skills: Bite (Beginner 74/100)+, Take Down (Proficient 334/500)+, Fire Fang (Minor Mastery 539/2000)+, Spark (Minor Mastery 659/2000)+, Shadow Clone (Beginner 42/100)+, Flame Vortex (Beginner 1/100)+ Points: 109
Fire Fang Dog's panel was vastly different from how it had looked some time ago.
Both Fire Fang and Spark had reached the Minor Mastery stage.
Even a Low-Level Skill like Spark would normally take more than half a year to advance from Proficient to Minor Mastery, yet Fire Fang Dog had reached Minor Mastery in only around two weeks.
Not to mention Fire Fang.
As a Mid-Level Skill, improving its proficiency was not something that could be done overnight.
Normally, it would take at least a year for a Mid-Level Skill to go from Proficient to Minor Mastery, yet Fire Fang Dog had achieved in less than half a month what others needed roughly a year of training to accomplish.
Qiao Sang did not linger over the other stats. After all, she checked the updated data every night before bed.
She had long known about the increases in Spark and Fire Fang's proficiency.
Flame Vortex (Beginner 1/100)+
Qiao Sang's gaze immediately landed on the newly appeared stat. It had not been there last night.
It really had learned a new skill!
Qiao Sang was a little excited. Fire Fang Dog was fundamentally different from other pet beasts.
When other pet beasts had only just learned a new skill and had yet to master it, they might not be able to use it successfully every time.
But as long as Fire Fang Dog learned a skill and used it once, it would definitely be able to perform it accurately the next time.
Fire Fang and Shadow Clone had both been like that.
Looks like my idea of eating Super Invincible Perverted Spicy Grilled Wings was right!
Qiao Sang gave herself a little affirmation and withdrew her consciousness from the Pet Beast Codex.
"Fire Fang Dog, use Flame Vortex five times," Qiao Sang said.
"Fang?"
Fire Fang Dog tilted its head.
"That move you learned after eating the grilled wings just now," Qiao Sang explained.
Fire Fang Dog understood. It recalled the sensation that had surged through its body earlier.
The moment it opened its mouth, a scorching flame spun into existence in the empty training ground.
Before long, it had completed all five Flame Vortexes.
"Fang!"
Fire Fang Dog wagged its tail, its eyes exceptionally bright as it stared at its Pet Tamer.
"Very good." Qiao Sang praised it, pretending not to understand what it meant. "You must be tired. Let's go home."
Her skill-development experiment today had been a great success. Just as she had expected, Flame Vortex had a 100% success rate.
Now she needed to hurry home and figure out a way to make money.
Qiao Sang turned around and was just about to take a step when her right foot suddenly grew heavy.
Looking down, she saw that Fire Fang Dog was biting the hem of her pants.
"Fang Fang!"
"Fang Fang!"
Seeing that its Pet Tamer had stopped, Fire Fang Dog quickly released her pants and began gesturing with its paws.
It did not want to go back!
It still had not learned Spark Rain!
Qiao Sang: "..."
What was she supposed to do when her pet beast was too serious...
Qiao Sang could only crouch down and explain, "Didn't you just learn a new skill? You've already done great. Everything takes time. We'll practice Spark Rain next time."
She had to coax Fire Fang Dog into leaving. Even if they stayed here and trained Spark Rain until dawn, it would be impossible to make even the slightest progress.
If a High-Level Skill could be figured out that quickly, could it still be called a High-Level Skill?
→
The fact that Spark Rain was classified as a High-Level Skill meant that its power and difficulty went hand in hand.
"Fang!"
Fire Fang Dog took a step back and shook its head.
It wanted to practice Spark Rain!
Its Pet Tamer was far too unambitious. They had only trained for such a short while, and after learning one little skill, she was already content to go home.
How could that do!
It was Fire Fang Dog, destined to challenge all under heaven without equal!
Helpless, Qiao Sang handed over the grilled wing in her hand, which had already gone cold.
What else could she do when Fire Fang Dog had made its stance so clear?
Of course, she could only accompany it.
Fire Fang Dog's body stiffened, and it forced itself to take a bite of the grilled wing.
The next second.
"Fang!!!"
Qingcheng Jiayuan.
7:30 p.m.
Fire Fang Dog lay weakly sprawled on the sofa, completely listless.
"Coo~"
Fat Domestic Pigeon worriedly went over and rubbed its head against it.
"Is Fire Fang Dog all right?" Mother asked.
"It's fine. Its body and soul are just a little wounded," Qiao Sang replied.
Mother: "..."
And you call that fine?!
Qiao Sang sat cross-legged nearby, watching television.
In order to learn Spark Rain, Fire Fang Dog had eaten a full six Super Invincible Perverted Spicy Grilled Wings, while she only had three bottles of Qi Yuan Milk left.
She could not afford Qi Yuan Milk, so she could only buy it seven or eight bottles of water to drink.
But Fire Fang Dog had spent the entire afternoon at it, its throat burning from the spice and nearly hoarse from all its barking. There was still not even the faintest sign of it learning Spark Rain.
It had not learned Spark Rain, but Flame Vortex's proficiency had directly increased by 45 points.
That was why Fire Fang Dog had become so dejected.
Qiao Sang could do nothing but watch from the side.
Fire Fang Dog was stubborn. Stopping it from training definitely would not work. It had to try for itself before it would give up.
All she could do as its Pet Tamer was not interfere.
"The room looks pretty good now. You can tell me about requesting two weeks' leave," Mother said.
Qiao Sang instantly snapped out of her thoughts and cautiously said, "Didn't I already tell you? It was to train Fire Fang Dog. Otherwise, how could I get first place in Saint Water High School's special admissions? Fire Fang Dog, don't you agree?"
"Fang."
Fire Fang Dog answered in a hoarse voice.
Mother glanced faintly at Qiao Sang, then got up, went to the kitchen, poured a glass of water, and handed it to Fire Fang Dog. "Drink some water first," she said gently.
Qiao Sang: "..."
Why did Mother's look seem like she was blaming her for not treating Fire Fang Dog well...
Fortunately, Mother did not say anything else afterward. She was probably giving her a pass because she had cleaned her room today and gotten into Saint Water High School...
Qiao Sang let out a breath of relief.
A commercial was playing on the television.
It was about the registration time and competition venue in Hanggang City on June 30 for F-rank Pet Tamers.
When the screen showed the rewards for the top three, Qiao Sang involuntarily leaned forward.
Third place: the latest BD-7800 model Moonlight Motorcycle, plus 50,000 Alliance Coins.
Second place: one Water-type Evolution Stone, plus 100,000 Alliance Coins.
First place: one random pet beast egg, plus 200,000 Alliance Coins.
Qiao Sang's breathing quickened.
The first-place reward was practically tailor-made for her!
Whether it was the pet beast egg or the Alliance Coins, both were things she needed right now!
Before Qiao Sang could memorize the registration website, Mother had already picked up the remote and changed the channel.
"Mom!"
Qiao Sang could not help calling out.
She stared at the television, about to ask Mother to change it back, but her voice abruptly cut off.
On the screen, a woman in a professional suit was reporting the news.
"At 1:23 this afternoon, an incident of Malice vandalizing a building wall occurred on Jiangyi Street..."
