Chapter 2157: Chapter 272: Another Method
"Teacher! Gangbao says its skill level in Absolute Defense has improved!" Qiao Sang said excitedly, "Did it have an epiphany?"
"Steel Authority?"
Gangbao showed a puzzled expression.
Did it have an epiphany?
Mikaela took a deep breath and explained with sparkling eyes:
"The white light of condensed Energy has become much more concentrated. This is a distinct change only seen when the skill level in Absolute Defense reaches Small Success. For entry level Absolute Defense to reach Small Success in such a short time, there is no other explanation except an epiphany."
"That’s great!" Qiao Sang looked at Gangbao with excitement, "It’s only the first day, and you’ve had an epiphany. You must have a high talent for Absolute Defense; maybe we can quickly reach the standards for Lower Void Cliff!"
"Steel Authority!"
Gangbao showed a happy expression and nodded.
"With Gangbao’s talent, there’s really a possibility." Mikaela laughed.
Very good, Teacher Mikaela didn’t doubt... Qiao Sang thought, opening her mouth to suggest taking a break.
However, before she could speak, Mikaela continued:
"It’s the time when Gangbao has the most insight into Absolute Defense. Let’s continue practicing."
Qiao Sang: "..."
Gangbao: "..."
...
Six o’clock in the evening.
Inside the room.
Qiao Sang and Gangbao lay on the soft big bed, their faces contorted with pain.
Beside them, the gemstone on Lubao’s forehead glowed with a deep blue light, illuminating them.
Qiao Sang and Gangbao’s expressions simultaneously relaxed, showing comfortable expressions.
"How about you take some time to have another epiphany," Qiao Sang suggested in her mind.
"Steel Authority."
Gangbao responded.
The frequency of having epiphanies is so frequent that it will definitely arouse suspicion.
"You said the same thing before having an epiphany today," Qiao Sang said in her mind with closed eyes. "But later, you had an epiphany, and Teacher Mikaela believed it. Don’t worry, as long as we perform well, we can certainly convince her."
Gangbao recalled Mikaela’s appreciative expression and felt it wouldn’t be hard to fool her, and it uttered:
"Steel Authority."
Sure, but it’s best not to have an epiphany immediately; it’s better to have a longer interval.
"I know." Qiao Sang sighed internally.
The Small Success level Absolute Defense has extended the resistance time against Pen Jiami’s attack by a bit, but only by 0.5 seconds. She seriously suspected that Pen Jiami noticed Gangbao’s improved skill level and slightly increased its own Attack Power as well.
If this continues, she feels her defensive power might rival Steel-type Pet Beasts.
At present, it seems that in order to reach the standard for Lower Void Cliff, the skill level in Absolute Defense needs to at least achieve Completion.
Even if Gangbao has an epiphany, it can’t directly achieve Completion skill level.
Alas, it seems she has to endure damage for at least several months... Qiao Sang thought about this, feeling quite exhausted.
Suddenly, a black hole appeared out of nowhere.
Qiao Sang sensed something and opened her eyes.
Only to see Little Treasure Spirit emerge from the black hole.
Immediately following, a gust of wind blew out, transforming into Qingbao.
Qiao Sang saw Qingbao, not knowing what she thought, hesitated for a moment.
Qingbao saw her Beast Tamer staring at her without moving, puzzled, she blinked and called out:
"Xiaxia?"
Qiao Sang: "..."
You are still using Shalala’s language... Qiao Sang’s previous train of thought abruptly, and she couldn’t help but internally complain.
"Xun Xun~"
Little Treasure Spirit called out, indicating that the teacher called them to eat.
Qiao Sang gathered her thoughts, sat up, got out of bed, put on her shoes, took out the room card, and said, "Let’s go."
Little Treasure Spirit’s eyes flashed blue, transforming to take her Beast Tamer and Yaobao and the others out of the room.
A group appeared at the restaurant entrance out of thin air, verifying their identity with the room card before being led by staff to the table where Mikaela was seated.
The table was already filled with various delicious foods, the majority being Energy Meals favored by Grass-type Pet Beasts.
"Qingqing!"
Shalala’s eyes lit up, and floated over.
"Impressive." Mikaela saw Shalala, smile on her face, immediately praised, "You speak Qingyun Nainai’s language so fluently."
She wasn’t surprised by Shalala speaking Qingyun Nainai’s language, having heard the conversation earlier at the training ground, but was busy with training Gangbao’s Absolute Defense and didn’t walk away.
"Qingqing~"
Shalala became a bit embarrassed from the praise.
Qingbao, seeing this, took a bite of the Energy Meal in front of it, then pretended to show a surprised expression and called out:
"Xiaxia!"
Delicious!
You see Shalala being praised and also decided to showcase your newly learned species language... Qiao Sang now understood Qingbao’s character pretty well and immediately saw through its small thoughts. She resisted the urge to laugh, cooperated by saying:
"Qingbao is now also good at speaking Shalala’s language."
"Xiaxia."
Qingbao became happy, calling out.
At the same time, there was a joyful breeze around.
Mikaela laughed, "You must practice together often, so you’ve learned each other’s languages."
"Qing..."
Shalala was about to nod.
"Qingqing!"
Qingbao was quick to interrupt with a call, indicating no such thing, they just practiced together today and unexpectedly learned quickly.
After saying it, a gust of wind swirled urgently around Shalala.
Shalala felt Qingbao’s meaning, fell silent, and swallowed back the words that weren’t said.
From speaking Shalala’s language all day, now she subconsciously said her own original language... Qiao Sang raised an eyebrow, helping with translation.
Mikaela paused for a moment, laughed and said, "Then you must be quite fated, learning the language at the same time."
"Xiaxia."
Qingbao called out sweetly, indicating yes.
Shalala silently ate the Energy Meal.
Mikaela remembered the main matter, holding the fork and knife, cutting the steak while saying:
"Gangbao’s resilience is excellent, and its talent in Absolute Defense is also high. I think we can add some training time every day and improve the skill level sooner."
She paused and added, "After eating, rest for half an hour, and then I’ll take Gangbao down for training."
"I know Gangbao just absorbed Ranxiang Fruit, this training intensity might be a bit much for it. But if we want to descend the Void Cliff within Yinpan Spirit’s specified time, we can only train like this."
Actually, even training like this may not meet the Lower Void Cliff standard, but Mikaela didn’t mind using this pressure to boost Gangbao’s training motivation.
Gangbao paused its action of eating the Energy Meal and looked at its Beast Tamer.
Qiao Sang was silent for a moment, put down her chopsticks, and seriously said:
"I actually thought of another method to retrieve the Pet Beast Egg from below the Void Cliff."
