Chapter 625 Michaela’s Training Advice (Part 2)

“Raise the level of the Ancient Dragon’s Will?” Josang paused for a moment and asked,

“How do I raise it?”

Michaela said, “There are three ways to raise the level of the Ancient Dragon’s Will. One is through pet evolution. If the concentration of ancient bloodline in the pet increases, it may raise the level of the Ancient Dragon’s Will. The second is through training. Let the pet fight constantly, constantly overcoming the strong with the weak. In adversity, it will be able to cultivate its will and possibly complete its transformation, raising its level…”

She paused here. “

The first method wouldn’t allow Tingbao to evolve before the competition, and the second method would likely require a considerable amount of training, making it impossible to complete in the short term…” Qiao Sang quickly analyzed in her mind and asked,

“What’s the third method?”

Michaela looked over and said,

“The third method is actually quite similar to the second. It involves actively enduring the pressure of a high-level pet, preferably a dragon-type pet, to continuously impact your mind and repeatedly temper your will within the limits of not collapsing, thereby increasing your trait level.”

After a pause, she added,

“This method doesn’t require combat; it only requires enduring and tempering, and it increases your willpower much faster. However, there’s a hidden danger.”

“What hidden danger?” Qiao Sang asked cooperatively.

Michaela said in a deep voice, “If the impact on the mind exceeds the limits of what one can withstand, it can easily cause permanent damage to the mind.”

This problem doesn’t seem too big; Lu Bao’s healing light can completely restore mental damage… Josang thought to herself, and then said,

“Lu Bao has healing light, which can heal mental damage.”

Michaela calmly said, “It can heal, but if it really reaches the point of mental damage, it will still affect Ting Bao.”

She paused here, deliberately leaving a gap in her voice.

Josang: “…”

Could you please finish what you were saying…? Josang thought to herself, then asked again,

“What kind of impact will it have?”

Michaela glanced at Tingbao in the air and said,

“The mind can be healed, but the will will be affected. If the impact on the mind exceeds the limits of what one can withstand, then the body and mind will remember this feeling, making it difficult for the will to break through in the future, and even if it evolves later, there will be no possibility of a breakthrough.”

Such serious consequences… Josang was shocked and said,

“Why don’t we wait for Tingbao to evolve later…”

Michaela looked at her and smiled, “You don’t have confidence in Tingbao?”

“That’s not it.” Josang said, “I just feel that there is no need to improve the Ancient Dragon’s will right now. The method you mentioned is impossible at the moment, and the second method is unlikely to be improved by Tingbao before the official competition. I think you want Tingbao to train using the third method.”

Otherwise, she wouldn’t have paused when she mentioned the third method and said that it could improve the characteristic level faster.

“I wanted Tingbao to use the last method,” Michaela said earnestly. “Improvement is necessary now. As long as it increases our chances of winning in the competition, any means to enhance our strength are worthwhile.”

“But didn’t you also say that this kind of training has hidden dangers?” Qiao Sang still disagreed.

Traits aren’t like skills; they can’t be added directly with points. Tingbao’s Ancient Dragon Will is currently A-rank, and after evolution, it will most likely reach S-rank. If this training prevents its Ancient Dragon Will from reaching S-rank after evolution, it would be a loss.

After all, in her view, the Interstellar Beast Taming Championship was just a competition she participated in to improve herself in her professional beast tamer career.

The Interstellar Cup was her ultimate goal.

It wouldn’t be good if Tingbao couldn’t reach its strongest level for the Interstellar Beast Taming Championship. Just

as she finished speaking, Tingbao, who was communicating with Little Treasure Hunter in the distance, seemed to hear something, twisted its body, and flew over quickly, calling out:

“Tingting.”

It wanted to train.

“…You go back to training first,” Qiao Sang said, looking at it.

“Tingting.”

Tingbao called out with a serious expression, indicating its desire to improve its Ancient Dragon Will level.

Michaela asked, “Did Tingbao overhear our conversation and want to train to improve its Ancient Dragon Will?”

“Tingting.”

Tingbao looked at Michaela, unusually paying attention to her, and nodded.

It clearly remembered its utter ineffectiveness in the Master Challenge, and knew its strength was completely insufficient for the competition its Beastmaster was about to participate in. It didn’t want to be useless again like last time.

Qiao Sang was silent for two seconds, then said, “But if the spirit is damaged, even if it’s healed, the Ancient Dragon Will can’t be improved in the future.”

“Tingting.”

Tingbao looked at its Beastmaster, its eyes resolute, and called out, indicating its determination to persevere and not let its spirit be damaged.

After a pause, it added,

“Tingting.”

It had that confidence.

Tingbao… Qiao Sang looked at Tingbao’s appearance, a thought stirring in her heart.

You see, Tingbao used to be pretty laid-back, except when provoked by Teacher Michaela. This time, Teacher Michaela didn’t even provoke it, yet it still wanted to train and become stronger…

“Have you thought it through?” Qiao Sang asked to confirm.

“Tingting.”

Tingbao nodded firmly.

Michaela couldn’t understand Tingbao’s words, but hearing Qiao Sang’s words and seeing Tingbao’s nod, she guessed what was going on and smiled:

“Actually, you don’t need to worry too much. Just find a pet with strong enough mental power and the ability to control mental power freely to help with the training. During the first training, you can test the mental power and gradually increase it to slowly detect Tingbao’s tolerance range. After that, there won’t be any accidents during the subsequent training.”

Qiao Sang: “…”

Why didn’t you say so earlier!

Qiao Sang suppressed the urge to complain and breathed a sigh of relief, saying:

“Then I’m relieved.”

After saying that, she thought of something and looked at the little treasure hunter in the air.

Speaking of which, among Ya Bao and the others, Xiao Xun Bao is the most skilled in mental control, but his oppressive aura is only at the A-level…

Qiao Sang thought to herself as she glanced at Qing Bao. Qing Bao’s oppressive aura, on the other hand

, is at the S-level…

But just a sense of oppression might not be enough. The best pets for training seem to be psychic or dragon-type, or even have mental abilities… As

these thoughts flashed through her mind, Michaela said,

“If you’re okay with that, I’ll have Meimei train Tingbao.”

Meimei? Qiao Sang was taken aback at first, then looked at the quietly waiting Meimei.

Meimei noticed the gaze, looked over, and gave a gentle smile.

“Sure!” Qiao Sang’s eyes suddenly lit up.

Most of her worries vanished instantly. To be honest, for some reason, sometimes Meimei gave her a greater sense of security than Michaela.

Michaela looked at Meimei and said,

“Meimei, you know what to do.”

“Penpen.”

Meimei nodded at her Beastmaster, then looked at Tingbao.

“Tingting.”

Tingbao looked back, nodded, and barked, indicating it was ready.

“Penpen.”

Meimei wasted no time; her eyes glowed blue, and she appeared in the sky with Tingbao.

High in the sky, Penjamei and Tingbao locked eyes.

The blue light in Penjamei’s eyes suddenly intensified.

An invisible wave of mental energy crashed down, Tingbao’s expression changed drastically, his body trembled violently, but he could only hold on for 0.1 seconds before collapsing to the ground with a thud, creating a huge crater.

Black stones flew everywhere.

“Xunxun?”

Little Xunbao appeared out of thin air next to its Beastmaster, holding a sunflower seed that it had somehow taken out of the ring. It cracked the seed while calling out, indicating what its sixth brother was training.

“Enhancing the Ancient Dragon’s Will.” Qiao Sang answered subconsciously, then turned to look at it, his lips twitching slightly.

“You’re not training, and you’re just eating sunflower seeds?”

“Xunxun~”

Little Xunbao called out while cracking the seed, indicating that it was taking a break.

After saying that, it seemed to remember something, threw down the seed shells, sighed, and called out,

“Xunxun…”

It felt that going out to absorb everyone’s favorite energy would be faster for progress.

“After we come out of the secret realm later, you can stay up all night absorbing energy,” Qiao Sang said.

“Xunxun~”

Upon hearing this, Xiao Xunbao looked at its Beastmaster with a “what are you talking about” expression, and barked, indicating that everyone would be asleep at night, and no one would be there to express their affection for its dolls. It definitely wouldn’t be able to absorb much energy then.

After saying that, it shook its head with a sigh, looking worried about its Beastmaster’s intelligence.

Qiao Sang: “…”

“This is the Zhitia region, and there are many Ghost-type pets,” Qiao Sang said. “Most of them know you, and many are your fans, so even at night, you can definitely absorb a lot of the power of affection.”

“I think you must have felt everyone’s affection for you when you came to the Zhitia region.”

Upon hearing this, Xiao Xunbao was stunned for a moment, and then recalled how many Ghost-type pets had screamed at it besides humans, and its eyes suddenly lit up.

“So, you’d better hurry up and start training.” Qiao Sang said earnestly, taking the melon seeds from Xiao Xunbao’s paw. “You probably don’t want to lose in the competition in front of so many of your fans, right?”

“Xunxun!”

Xiao Xunbao’s eyes suddenly lit up with fighting spirit. It shouted and then teleported into the air. A Netherworld Lord that looked exactly like it appeared beside it and began training.

Michaela glanced at the direction where Lu Bao was training in the distance and said,

“During this period of training, you still need to focus on Lu Bao.”

“Understood,” Qiao Sang replied.

Michaela suddenly thought of something and asked, “How is Ice Soul Sky Crack’s training going?”

Of all Lu Bao’s skills, Ice Soul Sky Crack could be considered a skill that could decide the outcome of a match in one move, so she was paying close attention to it.

“This skill consumes a lot of energy.” Qiao Sang recalled Lu Bao’s training on Tianyuan Star and said, “Moreover, this skill requires a two-second prelude before it can be used, making it easy for the opponent to attack.”

Michaela pondered for a moment and then asked,

“When using Ice Soul Sky Split, can you maintain the Ice Heaven Domain?”

“Yes,” Qiao Sang said, “but I feel like it will be broken.”

She remembered the scene in the Master Challenge where many opponents’ pets briefly broke through the Ice Heaven Domain.

Michaela pondered for a moment, then said,

“After we leave the secret realm, check the points exchange section at the school. See if there’s a material called Ice Soul Bone. If you find it, exchange for it. Grind it into powder and consume it; it will enhance your proficiency with Ice Soul Split Sky.”

“By the time of the competition, it would be best if you could reach mastery of Ice Soul Split Sky.”

But Lu Bao’s Ice Soul Split Sky was already at the minor completion level… Qiao Sang nodded slightly, looking very serious, and said,

“I’ll check as soon as I get out.”

After saying that, she thought of something and asked, “How many points does that require?”

“One Ice Soul Bone costs about 20,000 to 30,000 points.” Michaela smiled, “These points are not a problem for you at all.”

It was such a problem. I could directly use points to increase skill proficiency, so why should I use so many points to exchange for it… Qiao Sang thought to herself, then smiled and replied, “I have to thank the Dean for giving me so many points.”

“With your talent, giving you even more points is only fair.” Michaela said.

As they talked, several hundred meters away, a dark shadow lay silently on the ground, with nothing above it.

…

At the same time, in the dense forest filled with black plants, a ghost-type pet wearing a white mask called out:

“Mianmian.”

Found it.

The man’s expression, initially annoyed, suddenly turned to excitement, and he hurriedly asked, “Where is it?”

“Mianmian.” The ghost-type pet wearing the white mask pointed to the left.

Hearing this, the man turned around, eager to walk in the direction his pet had pointed.

But just then, the surrounding chilling aura suddenly dropped.

Sensing the danger, the man abruptly stopped and looked up.

…

On the other side, Qiao Sang glanced at Lu Bao and the others who were training, then suddenly remembered something. She looked at Teacher Michaela and said,

“Teacher, I’ll take Xia Bao to find some wild beasts nearby to battle.”

Xia Bao, not far away, twitched its ears and quickly ran over, its eyes sparkling as it stared at its master, looking ready.

Michaela paused, “Just Xia Bao?”

“Ya Bao will come with me too.” Qiao Sang finished speaking and called out to Ya Bao, who was training in the distance, “Ya Bao!”

“Ya Ya!”

Hearing its master’s voice, Ya Bao immediately stopped training and teleported over.

“You continue training with your clone; we’ll take Xia Bao to explore the secret realm.” Qiao Sang looked at it and said.

“Ya Ya!”

Ya Bao cried out, channeling its energy. Nearly a thousand Burning Emperors instantly appeared around them, then all teleported to the distant sky to begin training.

There are only twenty days left until the competition. What’s the point of wasting your time on Xia Bao…? Michaela opened her mouth, about to speak, but when she saw Xia Bao’s bright eyes beside her, she swallowed back what she was about to say and instead said,

“Go ahead, I’ll keep an eye on Lu Bao and the others’ training.”

After a pause, she finally added, “Come back soon.”
