Chapter 2153: Chapter 270: Absolute Defense Training (Double Chapter) 3
As an Emperor-level Pet Beast that had lived for quite a few years, it naturally knew what Bond Evolution represented. It was stunned for a moment, then showed an expression that clearly said, "You’re screwed now."
An Emperor-level Pet Beast attacking an Emperor Level Pet Beast—no matter how high the Emperor Level Pet Beast’s defensive power was, there was no way it could withstand it.
On the training field, Pen Jiami opened its mouth, and an incomparably magnificent white beam of light shot straight toward Gangbao in an instant.
Gangbao’s expression turned grim. It circulated Energy, and a white suit of armor that looked tailor-made instantly manifested on its body, wrapping it up completely.
"Boom!!!"
The white beam exploded violently on Gangbao’s body.
In an instant, the range covered by the shockwave actually enveloped the entire training field!
The air shook violently.
Huh? Doesn’t really hurt... Qiao Sang, whose whole body had been tensed up, felt a jolt of joy in her heart and relaxed a little.
However, in the next second, an intense wave of pain suddenly swept through her entire body!
Shit! That hurts! Looks like under Pen Jiami’s attack, Gangbao’s Absolute Defense can only hold for one second... Qiao Sang endured the searing pain while subconsciously thinking in her mind.
To be honest, ever since she’d specifically trained defensive power on Chao Su Star, it had been a long time since she’d hurt this much... Qiao Sang immediately thought of something, cut off the sensory link between herself and Gangbao, then shifted her consciousness into the Beast Taming Codex, flipped to Gangbao’s page, and quickly added points behind Absolute Defense for it.
She stopped when she’d raised it to Expert.
She’d specifically looked into Absolute Defense before: once its Skill Proficiency reached Small Success, the white armor covering the whole body would become a deeper color and noticeably larger, which would make this bug way too obvious.
Right now, Gangbao had only just started Absolute Defense training. If its Skill Level suddenly jumped two Levels at once, Teacher Mikaela would definitely get suspicious.
As for Beginner and Master Level Absolute Defense, as long as she and Gangbao kept their mouths shut, Teacher Mikaela probably wouldn’t notice anything...
As the thought flickered past—
Suddenly, "Boom!!!"
Another earth-shattering blast.
Two seconds later, waves of intense pain swept through Qiao Sang’s entire body.
Master Level Absolute Defense can hold out for two seconds under an Emperor-level Pet Beast’s attack? No, it should be that Pen Jiami isn’t using its strongest attack moves... Qiao Sang gritted her teeth against the pain as she thought.
"Boom!!!"
"Boom!!!"
"Boom!!!"
Deafening explosion after explosion rang out.
The shockwaves came in wave after wave.
Qiao Sang stayed silent under the tree, enduring the intense pain.
Perched in the tree, the Rain Praying Phoenix glanced at the scene on the training field, then looked down at the human below who hadn’t let out so much as a peep this whole time, and couldn’t help showing a hint of admiration.
Pretty good at toughing it out...
Time ticked by, second by second.
No one knew how long had passed before Mikaela finally spoke:
"Stop."
Pen Jiami ceased its attack.
The shockwaves covering the entire training field gradually dispersed, revealing Gangbao’s figure inside, its whole body covered in injuries.
"Do you need to rest?" Mikaela asked.
Gangbao glanced at its Beast Tamer under the distant tree and nodded.
If it didn’t know about the Golden Finger, it definitely wouldn’t rest—but with the Golden Finger around, it knew it didn’t have to take this much damage to raise its Skill Proficiency.
Its Beast Tamer had definitely been in a lot of pain just now too. If not for the fear of arousing suspicion...
"Then rest," Mikaela agreed readily.
As soon as the words left her mouth, a dark-blue light shone down on Gangbao’s body.
Gangbao felt as if a stream of pure water was flowing through its entire body—unbelievably comfortable.
Before long, it no longer felt any pain.
"Steel Authority."
Gangbao nodded toward Lubao not far away and called out, expressing its thanks.
Then it suddenly thought of something and called out to Lubao again:
"Steel Authority."
Heal our Beast Tamer too.
"Ice Emperor?"
Lubao looked at its Beast Tamer in the distance, who didn’t seem injured, eyes closed as if in meditation, and showed a puzzled expression.
Our Beast Tamer’s hurt too?
Just as it was thinking that, Qiao Sang opened her eyes and said weakly,
"Come quickly..."
Lubao froze for a second, then hurried over, putting on a serious expression as it cast Healing Light.
An Emperor-level Pet Beast’s attacks really weren’t something humans could handle. She’d only taken on a fraction of the damage, and it still hurt like hell... Under the treatment of the dark-blue light, Qiao Sang’s expression gradually relaxed.
Maybe I should let Gangbao put on a show earlier next time—have it suddenly pretend to have a breakthrough while taking Pen Jiami’s attacks, and then I’ll bump its Absolute Defense Skill Proficiency up to Small Success.
After all, there were precedents in reality of Pet Beasts suddenly having a flash of insight and their Skill Proficiency skyrocketing...
"Xiaxia!"
As the thought flashed by, a voice filled with surprise sounded beside her.
Qiao Sang turned her head and saw Qingbao, who had appeared at some unknown point.
