Chapter 602
Beast taming, starting from zero point
Chapter 602: Chapter 548 Absolute Vacuum Air Super Cannon? The first skill Qiao Sang thought of was this one.
But after thinking it over carefully, this move didnât seem to be Yaobaoâs key, and he hadnât mentioned this move in front of Little Steel Falcon before.
"Are you talking about the technique where Yaobao practices holding its breath?" Qiao Sang tentatively asked.
"Gang gang."
Little Steel Falcon nodded.
Indeed... Qiao Sang explained with a smile, "That is a trait called âair vacuum,â not a skill."
"Gang gang."
Little Steel Falcon looked serious.
Traits can also be developed later in life, canât they?
Qiao Sang was taken aback; she hadnât expected Little Steel Falcon to know even this.
As everyone knows, pet beastsâ traits are almost always innate. Other than the possibility of awakening new traits after evolving, itâs rare for a pet beast to bring out a trait without evolving.
But rare doesnât mean none at all.
Yaobaoâs initial Blazing Fire trait was stimulated later in life.
Some beast tamers, in order to bring out the traits they want, will try all sorts of things.
She had seen online where a beast tamer, in an attempt to stimulate the Intimidate trait of his Blazehound, would find people to battle every day, letting it roar first at the start of battle, trying to suppress the opponent and gradually foster the Blazehoundâs confidence and presence.
Over time, even without battling, the Blazehound would arrogantly roar at any strange pet beasts it saw by the roadside.
Once, the Blazehound roared at a small snake-type pet beast passing on the street.
The next second, the snake-type pet beast grew larger, reaching about 13 meters in size, then swung its tail and directly launched the Blazehound across to another street.
When its beast tamer found it, he was surprised to discover that the Blazehound had actually developed a Timid trait.
The Timid trait, though it sounds a bit cowardly, is very practical. Pet beasts with this trait have their speed increased when attacked by moves of evil, spectral, or bug attributes.
If they encounter a pet beast with the Intimidate trait and are affected by it, their speed will increase as well.
This incident even made it to the hot searches of the Yuhua Region.
The proud beast tamer shared his views and experience on this matter on various platforms and even became a little internet celebrity with hundreds of thousands of fans as a result.
Later, many netizens tried to imitate this but failed to stimulate the Timid trait in their pet beasts.
Unlike skills, traits are mainly about whether the pet beast has the talent in that area or not; itâs either there or itâs not, and wonât be stimulated by throwing money, resources, or targeted training at it.
Moreover, traits vary a lot among themselves. Trying to stimulate rare traits like Air Vacuum, which could totally be used as high-tier abilities, through later efforts is nearly impossible.
Qiao Sang asked, "Why the sudden interest in stimulating this trait?"
"Gang gang."
Little Steel Falcon explained by flapping its wings.
To grow stronger, naturally, it must aim to surpass the strongest being it knows, and Yaobao is its current target.
"Bingke?"
Suddenly opening its eyes, Lubao, who had been sitting with them shut, looked bewildered as if saying, "What are you talking about?"
You werenât asleep... Qiao Sang quickly reassured, "Gangbao just arrived; he hasnât witnessed your strength yet."
"Gang gang."
Little Steel Falcon immediately understood the situation and nodded in agreement.
"Bingke."
Lubao seemed to have taken in the command, closing its eyes once more, but the next second they were open again, and it got up to begin its training in the living room.
Qiao Sang: "..."
"Steel Steel..."
The Little Steel Falcon wore an expression that read âI didnât expect things to turn out this wayâ.
"Itâs okay, Lubao often stays up late to train," Qiao Sang said, pausing before adding bluntly, "The attribute you mentioned is air vacuuming, and frankly, Iâm clueless about how to trigger it right now. However, I will ask around. To be honest, this attribute is typically found in higher-ranked Pet Beasts. Donât get your hopes too high. Right now, itâs more important to train your Iron Wall to a low-achievement level."
"Steel Steel."
The Little Steel Falcon nodded to show it understood.
Qiao Sang said all that, but after finishing her quiz, she still went online to look up how to stimulate air vacuuming.
She glanced it over, and the display was all about air vacuuming descriptions, including which species of Pet Beast had a probability of possessing this attribute. There was no discussion about how to stimulate it.
Qiao Sang had a feeling of âas expectedâ.
Everyone marvels at Pet Beasts with certain attributes, but they donât immediately consider what it would mean if their own Pet Beast had it. Itâs not like a Skill, where seeing a similar species or same-attribute Pet Beast perform a suitable or powerful move makes them want to train their own Pet Beast to do the same.
Suddenly, she had an idea, a thought flickering through her mind:
Is there a Skill that has the same effect as air vacuuming?
Having done plenty of quizzes recently, she had gained more knowledge about Pet Beasts. Attributes are a significant characteristic of Pet Beasts.
Some that possess "Rainfall", "Snowfall", "Sunshine" attributes can change the weather for a while when they appear, but those changes can be fully replicated with Skills like Prayer for Rain, Snowfall, Sunny Day, and so on.
The difference is passive versus active, one doesnât consume energy, and the other does.
Air vacuuming needs to affect the surroundings, not just the user itself. Maybe there really is such a Skill... With that thought, Qiao Sang began to type and search.
Soon, she found a relevant forum post.
[Why are Pet Beasts with air vacuuming attributes sold at sky-high prices? Isnât it because they are somewhat related to the Absolute Vacuum Skill?
In that case, why not just teach the Pet Beast Absolute Vacuum?]
Absolute Vacuum... such a straightforward Skill name... But she hasnât heard of it before... Qiao Sang subconsciously forgot her own status as a poor student and read on:
[Do you think we donât want our Pet Beasts to learn Absolute Vacuum? They just canât learn it!]
[Haha, the original poster might as well ask why we donât apply for Zhuzhou Laina University.]
[Did the original poster forget that Absolute Vacuum is a Super Tier Skill?]
Super Tier Skill... Qiao Sang sighed inwardly.
No wonder she hadnât heard of it; it was a special tier Skill.
Had it been a high-tier Skill, she might have had the confidence that Little Steel Falcon could master it, Yaobao and others being a precedent. But a Super Tier Skill...
Qiao Sang silently closed the forum post and started searching for moves with a high similarity to Absolute Vacuum.
In a world where Divine Tier Skills have become stuff of legends, Super Tier Skills are the highest level of Skills available. Even in competitions like the Interstellar Cup, which represents the pinnacle of Professional Beast Tamers from every corner of the galaxy, the Skills used are mostly Super Tier.
One could say that high-tier Skills and combo moves are the norm for Professional Beast Tamers, whereas Super Tier Skills are something that beasts owned by top figures might potentially learn, and Qiao Sang was well aware of this fact.
Beast taming, starting from zero point ï¤Chapter 601 - 547: Want to Learn The Devil's Betrothed ï¤Chapter 772: Wedding Night The Alpha: Claiming His Enemy's Daughter ï¤Chapter 1041: BONUS - S: IN HER LIFE The reason Shuilu Yana was so valued by the people of the Ancient Mist Region, apart from nearing extinction, was also greatly related to its innate Skill, Healing Light, which the Alliance had classified as a Divine Tier Skill.
After navigating through the pages, Qiao Sang looked for over five minutes and finally found a Skill that was similar:
Air Absorption.
