Next, John chose to continue practicing skills with Kuro by the lake, while David Jones and Rainbow went to the pure white snowfield to train.

In just one hour, little Rainbow’s progress in cultivating the Cold Breath skill exceeded David’s expectations.

If this pace were maintained, it wouldn’t take long for little Rainbow to master the Cold Breath skill to an excellent level.

He held the tired and panting little Rainbow in his arms, stroking its head with satisfaction.

David suddenly thought of the popular Bond Coordination battles on the Flowery Kingdom’s internet recently.

It was said that if Trainers respect and understand their pets, and give them love, they would receive love from their pets too, thus forming a bond between Trainers and pets.

Through Bond Coordination with Arcane Star, a pet’s combat power can soar. However, mastering Bond Coordination is not a simple matter.

Although this battle method does not require strength, most who can proficiently master Bond Coordination in the Flowery Kingdom are King-level Trainers or above. Among the Master-level or lower Trainers, only a handful can master Bond Coordination.

David shook his head, thinking he was getting ahead of himself. You have to eat one bite at a time, so Bond Coordination could not be forced. Gradually establishing a bond with little Rainbow during training would be good enough on its own.

The current priority was still to let little Rainbow advance from the Fresh stage to Class I, so he could use the long-prepared Dragon Crystal to help little Rainbow evolve.

After all, David spends a lot of time every night working on strengthening the Dragon Crystal after completing his cultivation.n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om

He had high expectations for the mid-level Dragon Crystal made from talent and also looked forward to seeing what kind of brilliant sparks would come from the interaction between uniquely talented little Rainbow and the Dragon Crystal.

…

David, who had returned from his thoughts, squatted down, and placed the Arcane Force-recovered little Rainbow on the snowfield. He excitedly said, “You must be rested enough now, let’s practice the Ice Thorn skill next.”

“Yi!” (Easy peasy!)

Ice Thorn was an attack skill that was basically universal to all ice-attribute pets; David wanted to see little Rainbow’s proficiency in Ice Thorn.

“Shushushu.” One after another, the azure Ice Thorns rose from the ground around Rainbow and flew forward as blue lights. In an instant, the snowfield ahead was covered with fluttering snowflakes and numerous small holes.

Looking at the destructive power caused by little Rainbow’s Class I Ice Thorn skill, David nodded in satisfaction, and then said, “We don’t need to test for Confusion and the Icy Armor skills since they were performed very well during the morning’s battle. Rainbow, this time use Ice Concealment.”

Upon hearing David’s command, a light blue halo immediately lit up Rainbow’s body, which then gradually merged with the pure white snowfield. Its body disappeared at a discernible speed.

David carefully inspected the snowfield and couldn’t find any trace of Rainbow. Ice Concealment was indeed a Class II skill, which could conceal one’s whereabouts using snow or ice as cover.

If it wasn’t for the contract, David wouldn’t have been able to find Rainbow’s general position.action

“Come out, Rainbow.” Hearing his voice, Rainbow appeared not far away.

David sighed, his expression gradually becoming serious, feeling that he had a fantastic pet that could use its innate skills proficiently without training.

Although it sounds boastful, David couldn’t immediately think of a better skill to train Rainbow with, given this unexpected situation.

Logically speaking, most Class I pets only master their Class I skills to a great level, with a very few reaching excellent levels, let alone Rainbow, who was still in its Fresh period.

Seeing David sigh, little Rainbow looked at him discontentedly and chirped.

“Yi, yi?”(▼ヘ▼#) (Did I not meet the requirements?)

“No, no, you did great.” Seeing Rainbow somewhat dissatisfied, David’s face showed a few more smiles. He walked over, lifted it high, and hugged it.

“Yiya.” (*/ω＼*) (Of course)

Little Rainbow in the air turned its head away arrogantly, avoiding David’s intense gaze.

“You’re amazing, but you still need to keep up the good work!” David rubbed his cheek against Rainbow’s warm and soft body, which felt like cotton with a hint of warmth.

“Let’s continue practicing Cold Breath, and strive to reach an Excellent level in a week.”

“Yi.” (*^▽^*) Rainbow responded softly.

Little Rainbow stood in the open space, continuing to exhale a cold blue air stream. Several large frozen ice blocks appeared on the vast snowfield.

“Your release speed is already fast, no need to focus on increasing it. Instead, you can try extending the casting time to focus your power on exhaling Cold Breath!”

Upon hearing David’s command, Rainbow began to accumulate cold breath, its mouth emitting bright, cold-blue light. Surrounding ice-element Arcane Force was constantly gathered into Rainbow’s mouth.

“Boom.” Rainbow exhaled this long-accumulated Cold Breath, which had absorbed a lot of ice-element Arcane Force. It caused a terrifying explosion of ice flow in front of a large area of the snowfield. The aftermath scattered countless colorful ice fragments on the snow.

David quickly blocked his face from the approaching ice fragments with his hand. At this moment, Little Rainbow’s body left a clear trace on the snow due to the recoil force from exhaling the Cold Breath.

Once the airtide disappeared, David looked through the falling snow and locked eyes with Rainbow, who was firmly in the snowfield.

“What an incredible damage output!” David exclaimed, wanting to compliment Rainbow more.

“Linglingling…” David suddenly felt a vibration from his pocket. It was his phone ringing.

After commending Rainbow through his thoughts, he paused the training and took out his phone directly. Seeing an unfamiliar number calling, he answered and immediately asked, “Hello, who is this?”

“Hello, is this David Jones? I’m the person in charge of the Pet Store at Ragdoll Mall.” A competent female voice came from the other end of the phone.

“That’s me,” David replied tersely.

“Well, I received your resume, and it seems suitable. Is there a time in the next few days when we can discuss in person?”

David squatted down and lightly touched little Rainbow’s curious face with his finger, asking indifferently, “Are you okay with my requirements?”

“Of course, but we need to conduct an on-site assessment and test. Do you have time this afternoon?”

“Yes, I do.”

…

After roughly discussing and communicating over the phone, David ended the conversation, casually putting his phone back in his pocket.

David had already scheduled an interview for three o’clock this afternoon. Whether his recent financial pressure could be alleviated depended on his performance later!
