Chapter 723: Chapter 652: Magma Purgatory (Third Update)

The first page of the Beast Taming Codex displayed Yaobao.

Qiao Sang, who originally intended to check the data of Xiao Xunbao’s Spectral Fire first, instantly paused and scanned the new data before her eyes.

[Points: 8552]

During this time at school, Yaobao couldn’t practice high-damage skills casually, but most of the other skills were quickly mastered to the peak of Mystique thanks to the efforts of his Doppelganger.

Qiao Sang checked the data daily, so she glanced over these, but her gaze stopped on the last three newly acquired skills.

Bursting Flame Bomb, Scorching Wind, Magma Purgatory... Qiao Sang fell into deep thought.

Goodness, these are all Fire Element Skills that aren’t commonly seen...

Apart from Scorching Wind, which she knew was a high-tier fire technical skill that blasts heated wind at the opponent with a certain chance to inflict burns, she was unfamiliar with the other two.

Bursting Flame Bomb seemed like a flaming projectile attack skill from its name.

As for Magma Purgatory... she’d have to check that out later... Qiao Sang decisively gave up pondering, turned the page, and moved to the section about Xiao Xunbao.

She skimmed over the information and immediately looked at the Spectral Fire data.

[Spectral Fire (Well Advanced 1123/5000) +]

...

[Spectral Fire (Well Advanced 1832/5000) +]

...

[Spectral Fire (Well Advanced 2109/5000) +]

Qiao Sang’s eyes lit up, thinking to herself that the Spectral Fruit Juice really worked wonders, as the Spectral Fire’s data was rising almost every second, similar to how Xiao Xunbao’s level data soared when it absorbed Emotional Energy a while ago.

The difference was, back then, Xiao Xunbao’s level data would rise by 1 or 2 points, but now, the Spectral Fire data was going up by hundreds every second, a difference that couldn’t be more stark.

Having realized that Xiao Xunbao had successfully absorbed the Spectral Fruit Juice, Qiao Sang returned her consciousness to reality.

As soon as she opened her eyes, she saw that Xiao Xunbao was all red, like a cooked shrimp.

But the next second, Lubao’s gemstone on its forehead lit up, casting a Healing Light on it.

The blue light receded, and Xiao Xunbao’s body returned to its original color.

But soon after, it turned red again, like a cooked shrimp.

Blue light, recovery, red again, blue light, recovery, red again... the cycle repeated.

Watching from the side, Qiao Sang was scared witless, fearing that if Lubao wasn’t timely, Xiao Xunbao would be thoroughly cooked.

There was no indication that Reacting to Spectral Fruit Juice would cause this... Qiao Sang was a bit anxious inside, but thinking of Lubao’s Healing Light, she instantly settled down.

After what felt like a long time, the Lava Beast stopped vomiting and lay weakened on the ground, a picture of exhaustion.

"Xun Xun..."

Xiao Xunbao slowly opened its eyes, recalled the harrowing experience, wiped its nonexistent sweat from its forehead, and showed an expression of relief and scare.

Once Qiao Sang checked the Beast Taming Codex and saw that the data for Spectral Fire had transformed into (Mystique 12233/20000), she returned her consciousness to reality and pointed to the remaining Spectral Fruit Juice on the ground, saying:

"Want to absorb some more?"

"Xun Xun!"

"Xun Xun!"

Xiao Xunbao shook its head vigorously.

It was too terrifying! It didn’t want any more!

Seeing this, Qiao Sang didn’t insist. With Xiao Xunbao’s Spectral Fire having leaped from a well-advanced stage to the Mystique level, this was truly a qualitative jump.

If a Beast Tamer without the Golden Finger had to train normally, even a Spectral-type Pet Beast with excellent talent would need at least several years to train a mid-tier Skill to Mystique Level.

The successful evolution of Yaobao, the collection of Spectral Fruit Juice, and Xiao Xunbao’s absorption of it had all saved a significant amount of training time. Everything tonight was simply perfect... Qiao Sang was satisfied inside, but then she thought of something and looked at the Lava Beast.

What to do with this Lava Beast? It surely couldn’t just send it back...

"Lava..."

The Lava Beast felt the gaze and quickly retreated.

It remembered that the very frightening Pet Beast had been taken back by the human in front of it...

"Umm..." Qiao Sang began.

"Lava!"

But before she could finish her sentence, the Lava Beast suddenly turned around and dashed off desperately, quickly becoming a dot and disappearing from sight.

Qiao Sang: "..."

Well, that’s probably for the best.

Qiao Sang picked up her phone, checked the time, and discovered it was already past midnight.

Then she had a thought, formed a hand seal, and summoned Yaobao.

"Ya!"

Upon appearing, Yaobao instantly let out an excited cry.

Powerful gusts swirled around it.

"Yaobao," Qiao Sang called out.

"Ya Ya?"

Yaobao followed the sound and looked forward, only to see no one there, and tilted its head in confusion.

Where was its Beast Tamer?

"Lower your head a bit more," Qiao Sang instructed.

"Ya?"

Yaobao lowered its head but still didn’t see her.

Qiao Sang’s mouth twitched: "Step back and then lower your head again."

"Ya Ya!"

Yaobao took a large step back and lowered its head, let out a joyful bark, indicating it had finally seen her!

The Shrinking Bracelet was truly a marvelous invention... As Qiao Sang looked at Yaobao’s massive size, she appreciated the Shrinking Bracelet’s benefits even more.

If it weren’t for the Shrinking Bracelet, not to mention having a Pet Beast in the room, regular training would be like searching for one’s own Beast Tamer for ages...

No wonder you hardly see General-level Pet Beasts on the streets; with such a large size, they could cause accidents with the slightest movement...

Qiao Sang organized her thoughts and said, "Yaobao, you’re too big right now, and we’re out of Shrinking Bracelets, so you can’t enter the hotel room. Stay in the Beast Taming Codex for the night, and I’ll place an order online for a Shrinking Bracelet."

"Don’t worry, even if I can’t reserve a Shrinking Bracelet right away, it’s not a big deal. In at most two days, after I finish some business here, we’ll leave, and then I’ll find a house big enough even for your current size," she assured.

"Ya Ya."

Yaobao wasn’t dismayed; it wagged its tail and barked, indicating understanding.

It couldn’t help it; it was just too majestic and powerful now.

You’ve grown up... Qiao Sang thought proudly, waving her hand to return it to the Beast Taming Codex.

...

2:03 AM.

Sota Hotel.

Room 3406.

Qiao Sang reclined against the bedhead and sent off the request for a Shrinking Bracelet.

One of the conditions for applying for a Shrinking Bracelet was for a Pet Beast to be 6 meters or larger; Yaobao met this requirement.

Closing the page, Qiao Sang opened the chat app to arrange a meeting time with the Beast Tamer who owned the SS-grade Shadow Pearl.

However, after typing just one letter, Qiao Sang had a second thought, exited the chat interface.

It would be too obvious to contact him tonight after the sudden appearance of the Crafty Fire Jelly; it was better to wait a bit before speaking...

Immediately after, Qiao Sang remembered something else, opened the search engine, and typed in the words "Bursting Flame Bomb."

Information related to it quickly appeared on the page:

[Bursting Flame Bomb, a high-tier Fire Element Skill, involves condensing the flames into a bomb-like attack that causes damage to the target and has a certain chance of leaving the target with burn injuries.]

It’s just as I thought... Qiao Sang scrolled on the screen, re-entered "Magma Purgatory" in the search bar.

The page shifted, and Qiao Sang clicked on an informative post about Magma Purgatory.

[Magma Purgatory, a Super Tier Fire Element Skill...]

Qiao Sang’s eyes glued to the words "Super Tier" and couldn’t look away.

Super Tier?

Super Tier?!
