Chapter 26: Qiuqiu vs Lightning Fox (seeking follow-up)
Lin Shuo slowly opened his eyes and sat up from the bed.
After a whole day of practice in the world of Shenwu, he still failed to prepare a perfect level of energy liquid. However, several energy liquids that could only reach high levels in the past have now reached a level close to perfection.
During the whole day of training, Qiuqiu became more comfortable with Frost Storm than before. Although there was not much increase in power, there were some gains.
One person and one person may need a chance to break through.
Qiuqiu was still recuperating in his beast-controlling space at the moment, while Lin Shuo picked up the communication device placed on the bedside and opened it to check the message.
One night passed, and there were two more emails in his mailbox.
The first one was from Qin Nan. Lin Shuo took a look at it and a bright smile appeared on his face.
In the email, Qin Nan only said two things.
First, the contribution points from previous research projects have been distributed. Due to some specificities of the research process, the final reward contribution points have been increased to 110,000, and Lin Shuo can get 20,000 of them. The contribution points have been received.
Already.
Second, the research project he applied for on the evolution route of the Invincible Duck has been approved. The first batch of pet beasts and supernatural resources needed for research will arrive at the research institute this afternoon. Qin Nan asked Lin Shuo to receive them by himself.
After reading the email, Lin Shuo checked his Beastmaster account without hesitation. When he saw the extra 20,000 contribution points in his account, his face lit up with joy.
Really get rich overnight.
But soon, he sighed.
Originally, he planned to place an order immediately after receiving the contribution points to exchange for the sixth-level supernatural resource needed for Qiuqiu. After all, the eye core of the leader-level fear golem was still a relatively scarce resource, so he would be relieved to redeem it early.
But now that the world of Shenwu has prepared a great competition, he still wants to try his best first to see if he can win the championship.
If you can win the championship, you can rely on the resources rewarded by the Beast Mastering Association and the Nirvana Pond Evolution Ball, so you don't need to spend the 20,000 contribution points for the time being, leaving them to be useful in the future.
For example, for the second pet beast that I haven’t met yet?
If not, the 20,000 contribution points are considered as a guarantee to ensure that Qiuqiu can evolve smoothly.
Thinking in his mind, Lin Shuo casually opened the second unread email, glanced at the content, and couldn't help but raise his eyebrows.
"Invitation to a one-on-one pet beast battle?"
This is an email from the Tianzhan Battle Arena. He just became a nominal sparring partner yesterday. His first client came to the door and he needed to reply whether he would like to have a fight and confirm the time for the fight.
After taking a look at the customer's detailed pet information, Lin Shuo had a look of interest on his face.
This opponent’s pet beast…
This is Qiuqiu’s old friend.
It just so happens that the pet beasts and supernatural resources needed for research will arrive at the research institute this afternoon.
Let’s make an appointment in the morning.
After replying to the email and setting up a time for the battle, Lin Shuo got up from the bed.
Take a shower and have breakfast.
Today he earned 20,000 contribution points, so he should reward himself with something good for breakfast.
The big fried dough sticks in the Shandong University cafeteria are very good, fried to a crispy texture and soft. He wants to eat three of them today!
Drink two more cups of soy milk!
…
Walking into the special sparring room in the Tianzhan Battle Arena, Lin Shuo quickly saw his client.
It was a boy wearing glasses, who looked quite polite. His eyes lit up when he saw Lin Shuo, and he quickly walked up to say hello, "Hello, Lin Shuo."
"You don't have to be so polite." Lin Shuo glanced at the school badge on the boy's chest, and his face looked a little weird, "You are from Shancheng University, right? Then I should call you senior."
"Okay, then I'll call you junior." The boy with glasses smiled, "This is the first time I've seen Xue Henqing, a young student with such a high normal energy value, so when I saw it, I couldn't help but want to see it.
Fan."
"No problem." Lin Shuo nodded, and then there was some confusion on his face, "Since the senior is already a student of Shancheng University, he is at least a sophomore student, so why are there still infant-level pets?"
"Oh, this is the second pet I just contracted after breaking through the third-level beast-controlling space a while ago. It's the one I need to train with this time." The boy with glasses explained, and then there was a formation of goose-yellow light on the soles of his feet.
, and soon a fox-like pet beast with golden hair and lightning marks appeared.
It was a lightning fox.
The moment his limbs landed on the ground, bright golden arcs of electricity splashed out from the soles of the Lightning Fox's feet. The hairs occasionally penetrated the air with lightning, and a slight "crackling" sound could be heard.
This lightning fox looks much stronger than the one kept in the garden in Shenwu World.
[Serial IAM-0133
Race name: Lightning fox
Racial class: lower dominant race
Attribute: Thunder system
Growth stage: neonatal stage
Normal energy value: 387P
Talent skills: Thunder Claw (core skill), Electric Chase, Electric Chain]
After reading the data fed back by the communication device, Lin Shuo nodded. The light yellow light slowly intertwined under his feet, and the ball, which had returned to its peak, soon appeared at his feet.
Soon, it heard a subtle arcing sound in the air, and subconsciously turned its head to look, its expression becoming a little surprised.
"Mi?" (Is it a little fox?)
"No, this is another lightning fox." Lin Shuo smiled slightly and explained.
"Mi!(??ω??)" (Another little fox!)
Qiuqiu walked forward curiously, looking at the other person curiously with his big eyes.
"Aoyou?" (What are you looking at me for?)
"Mi, Mi~" (I know another lightning fox, it runs very fast~)
"Aoyou! (′⊙ω⊙`)!" (I'm sure I'm faster!)
"Mi~" (Let me see it later~)
Lin Shuo smiled and looked at the two pet beasts who were communicating. He turned to the boy and asked, "How to sparring? Is it a sparring session or a battle?"
The cost of choosing a private sparring partner is higher, and naturally there are different training methods. Some require practicing a certain skill, so the pet beast that needs to be sparring requires continuous feeding of moves with specific skills, some require direct combat, and there are other
cases, but relatively few.
"Let's fight." The boy with glasses glanced at the ball's normal energy value displayed on the communication device, and there was a look of interest in his eyes. "I also want to see how strong Xuehenqing is with an energy value of 399 Bova.
."
"Then I'll ask a referee." Lin Shuo nodded, turned and walked out of the room, but when he came back again, his expression became a little weird.
Behind him were two people. In addition to the invited referee, there was also Zhong Tianzhan, the owner of the arena.
With a smile on his face, Zhong Tianzhan looked at the boy with glasses and said, "Hello, I am the owner of this battle arena. Can I watch this battle?"
Different from matching matches, private sparring is private in principle. Even if he is the owner of the gym, he needs to ask for the consent of the guest if he wants to watch.
"OK."
After getting the guest's consent, Zhong Tianzhan stood in the corner by the door and quietly observed.
Zhong Tianzhan was very interested in this nominal sparring partner he hired.
So he happened to know that Lin Shuo was about to start a battle, so he came over to take a look.
If something went wrong in Lin Shuo's first battle, he would be able to react in time.
Quickly scanning the communication device in his hand, Zhong Tianzhan nodded slightly.
The 387P Lightning Fox looks weaker than my son's powerful rock bear, but in fact the normal energy value is only a reference standard for strength.
Lightning Fox, like Snow Trace, is an agile pet with a speed advantage. Compared with Snow Trace, which has light traces, there are venue restrictions, but there are no venue restrictions for E-Chasing, so it has a greater advantage.
Therefore, this battle will be even more difficult for Xue Henqing.
He somewhat wanted to know whether Xue Henqing could easily win against such a lightning fox.
Lin Shuo had a look of helplessness on his face. When he went to invite the referee, he happened to bump into the gym owner. When he learned that he was going to have his first sparring match, he followed him enthusiastically.
That's all, it's not a big problem.
At the referee's signal, the two beast masters stood in a fixed area with their pets, waiting for the referee to give orders.
Before the game started, Lin Shuo used telepathy to communicate with Qiuqiu.
"You have raced with the little fox, but you have not fought. In addition to the electric chasing skill that is not weaker than the snow trail, the lightning fox also has electric chains and thunder claws. The former will generate an electric grid within the surrounding area to paralyze the opponent, and the latter will paralyze the opponent.
It is an attack skill, and the attack range is not as far as Frost Storm, but the combination of the three skills is very difficult."
"So you must always keep a distance from the lightning fox, don't give it a chance to get close, and then look for opportunities to defeat the opponent with frost storm!"
"Mi! (?ω?)" (Got it!)
Opposite Lin Shuo, the boy with eyes was also communicating with his pet beast.
"Spark, the Snow Trace on the opposite side is holding the second-level snow trace, and the speed will be faster than you. Your electric chase is already close to the second-level snow trace. I hope you can break through in this battle, but don't give it a try.
If we are under too much pressure and cannot break through, then we can just continue training."
"Aiyou!" (I will definitely try my best!)
Touching the soft hair on the Lightning Fox, the boy with glasses smiled and said, "Be careful of the opponent's frost storm and close the distance as soon as possible. The coverage of your electric chain can already reach a radius of seven meters, so you have to get close to Snow Trace Light as soon as possible."
Within seven meters.”
"Aoyou, aoyou!" (Got it, get close!)
As the exchange between the two beast masters and their pets ended, the referee gave the order and the battle quickly began.
The movements of the two pet beasts were surprisingly consistent.
Charge and get close to your opponent.
Qiuqiu skillfully used blowing snow to create an ice and snow environment all the way in front of him. Dazzling ice flowers appeared from the soles of his feet and quickly approached the lightning fox. In a moment, a long frost runway was formed on the field.
The Lightning Fox on the opposite side is more flexible than Qiuqiu. All his limbs extending from the soles of his feet to his torso are transformed into golden thunder elements at this moment. With every jump, dense arcs of electric arcs continue to bounce on the field.
Splash.
Lin Shuo's face showed a bit of surprise, and he used telepathy to remind Qiuqiu in time, "Be careful, its electric chase is already very close to level II."
After the lightning fox's electric chase reaches level II, it can transform into elements all over its body, and its speed will be much faster than it is now. It can be said to be a qualitative change.
At this moment, the limbs of this lightning fox can be completely elementalized, and it is only a little short of being elementalized all over the body.
Seeing the distance between the two beasts getting closer and closer, Lin Shuo's expression became slightly serious.
"Slow down the approach!"
"Speed up and approach the opponent!" The boy with glasses gave the instruction almost simultaneously, with a burning fighting spirit in his eyes.
As the two men gave their instructions, the speed of the ball slowed down instantly, but the speed of the lightning fox on the opposite side increased instead of decreasing, approaching the ball quickly. Fine electric sparks connected on the field, like a bright light.
The golden carpet is extremely dazzling.
The other party wanted to continue to close the distance and use electric chains, Lin Shuo was convinced.
"Froststorm!"
Qiuqiu stopped for a moment, snowflakes bloomed on the soles of his feet, and he puffed up his cheeks slightly. Soon a storm covered with frost appeared in the battlefield. The violent energy set off a violent wind in the field, and the gathering frost storm was like an energy cannon.
Heading towards the Lightning Fox who was sprinting at full speed.
"Avoid!" The expression of the boy with eyes changed slightly. The power of this frost storm is so strong!
This is somewhat different from what is shown in the data.
Outside the court, Zhong Tianzhan, who was always observing the situation on the court, also changed his expression.
When I was fighting against my son yesterday, the Froststorm with light snow marks was not so powerful, but it has reached such a level today?
He couldn't help but be speechless as he looked at the frost storm that was almost as thick as the mouth of a bowl and struck towards the lightning fox as fast as thunder.
With this level of control, Frost Storm is not far away from level II.
Could it be that he held back his hand against Zhong Hao yesterday?
In the field, the Lightning Fox shrank suddenly. The frost storm that hit it like a heavy artillery gave it a great sense of crisis. The arc under its feet exploded crazily at this moment. Its figure moved towards it without hesitation.
Turn aside to avoid this frost storm.
However, the speed of the frost storm that gathered to its extreme was too fast.
It was so fast that even the Lightning Fox's all-out electric chase was not enough to completely avoid the attack.
Seeing that half of his lightning fox's body was still exposed to the coming frost storm, the boy with glasses suddenly became anxious, and his heart tightened, full of worry.
The extremely nervous Lightning Fox felt the mood of the beast master simultaneously through the beast master contract, and suddenly some kind of restraint in his body seemed to be broken free in an instant.
A dazzling thunder appeared at the location where the frost storm bombarded. The next moment, the frost storm bombarded the empty space, scraping traces on the battlefield and setting off a raging energy storm. It took a long time to completely dissipate.
Next to Frost Storm's attack range, a lightning fox whose body was completely elemental was unscathed.
At the critical moment, sensing the beast master's mood, it silently broke through Level II in its Denki proficiency level.
The boy with glasses was stunned at first, then overjoyed.
"Great job Sparks! Getting close to each other!"
The lightning fox turned into a bolt of lightning and came quickly in the direction of Qiuqiu. The speed was more than twice as fast as before.
Snow Trail and Electric Chase are both agility-type skills, but their respective focuses are different.
The snow tracks will become lighter as the proficiency level increases, while the electric chaser focuses solely on speed after the proficiency level increases. The speed of the two is not much different at level I, but at the second level, the speed of the electric chaser
It will be much faster than snow trails.
Soon, the distance between Qiuqiu and Lightning Fox was only a few meters.
"Electric chain! Thunder claw!" The boy with glasses calmly gave the command.
This battle must be over!
