"Xue Henqing wins!"
The referee quickly announced the outcome of the match and then began arranging treatment for the injured pets.
Qiuqiu was merely paralyzed, which was not counted as an injury and would naturally disappear after a brief recovery, so Lin Su decided not to treat it.
He excitedly rushed forward, scooping Qiuqiu into his arms, "Good job, did you break through with Frost Storm?!"
Lin Su had clearly seen at the last moment that the third Frost Storm had come from Qiuqiu's paw rather than being spewed out of its mouth, which was the hallmark of reaching the second stage of Frost Storm.
At the second stage, Frost Storm's flexibility would become extremely high, capable of being released from various parts of the body such as paws and tail, and its power would also greatly increase.
"Mew~(ˊωˋ*)ฅ♡" (It seems so~)
"Well done!" Lin Su hurriedly fished out an Energy Cube from his pocket and handed it to Qiuqiu to help it recover its strength faster. Then, he seemed to think of something and quickly headed towards the Lightning Fox.
The Lightning Fox had mostly recovered under the treatment of the arriving healers' contract pets; although Qiuqiu's attack seemed fierce, it had held back and not caused any severe injuries.
Since injuries are inevitable in a pet battle, Lin Su didn't utter any words of apology. After confirming that the Lightning Fox was not seriously hurt, he breathed a sigh of relief and then turned his head towards the boy with glasses, "Thank you, if it wasn't for the pressure your Lightning Fox put on, my pet wouldn't have broken through to the second stage of Frost Storm so quickly."
The boy with glasses shook his head with a smile, "No worries, my pet's Electric Chasing skill also broke through to the second stage. We just helped each other. However..."
He glanced at Xue Henqing in Lin Su's arms, with a strange expression on his face, "All of your pet's Talent Skills are already at the second stage, aren't you planning to let it advance to the elite level? Your Beast Taming Space should be able to accommodate it, right?" S~eaʀᴄh the NôvelFire.nёt website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.
"No rush, let's wait." Lin Su said with a light chuckle, without explanation.
"Alright then." The boy with glasses shrugged his shoulders. Each Beast Tamer had their own thoughts on how to train their pets, and it was impolite to freely comment on the training of another person's pet, so he said no more.
Before long, the treatment for Lightning Fox was completed, and it was again lively as ever, bouncing back into the arms of the boy with glasses. Its amber eyes looked at Qiuqiu.
"Awwooo, awwooo! (Ծ‸Ծ)" (This time you were tough, but next time I will definitely win!)
"Mew~(。òωó。)" (Then let's fight again next time~)
"I'm going, we'll continue the battle next time." The boy with glasses didn't stay and quickly left with Lightning Fox.
"We should also head back to the institute now." Lin Su looked at Qiuqiu in his arms and spoke softly.
He had wanted to say goodbye to the arena master before leaving, but when he looked up, he found that the master had already left the room without him realizing it, so he had to let it go.
Before leaving the Battle Arena, he had another thing to do.
That was to modify the records of Qiuqiu's skill proficiency levels registered in the Battle Arena to prevent others from mistakenly thinking that Qiuqiu's Frost Storm was still at stage one when they challenged it.
"Mew!" (Wait for me!)
Just as Lin Su was about to take Qiuqiu to register, the pet in his arms suddenly wriggled and jumped out, landing on the floor.
Under Lin Su's somewhat puzzled gaze, Qiuqiu excitedly chirped, and heavy snowflakes began to emerge from around it, quickly laying out a large snow blanket on the ground.
Snow Blow at the second stage?
Lin Su grinned.
The energy flow patterns of Snow Blow and Frost Storm were highly similar. With the impetus of Frost Storm at the second stage, for Snow Blow to quickly reach the second stage wasn't too difficult.
But he hadn't expected it to be this quick.
After stroking Qiuqiu, who had just finished its demonstration and bounced back into his arms, Lin Su smiled slightly, "It looks like we can also register Snow Blow at the second stage later on."
"Mew!" (The resources for evolution to level six!)
"Yes, yes, yes!" Lin Su laughed, surprised that the little one was still thinking about that.
"Mew, mew! (。òωó。)" (And also, you said once three skills reached the second stage, I could learn a new skill!)
"Oh right, there was such a thing." Lin Su nodded his head.
That was something he said when he was first teaching Qiuqiu Snow Blow, not expecting Qiuqiu to remember it until now.
```
However, teaching new skills should indeed be put on the agenda now.
From the battle with Lightning Fox, Lin Su had also realized that the current three skills were no longer sufficient for Qiuqiu. It needed to learn new skills as soon as possible to enhance its strength and adaptability against different opponents.
"Let's go register first, and I'll slowly explain to you on the way back."
During this period, Lin Su had done his homework on the teaching skills that Ice-type pet beasts could learn.
As for the new skills Qiuqiu should learn, he already had some ideas in mind.
"Meow!" (Yay!)
...
"Qiuqiu, during the fight with Lightning Fox, when its Electric Chasing reached Tier II, both your Snow Trace and Frost Storm were countered by the opponent. This means your ability to adapt against certain opponents isn't sufficient," Lin Su began to analyze with Qiuqiu in his arms as they walked back.
"Meow?" (So, what should we do?)
"You need to learn some new skills. These new skills need to somewhat make up for your weaknesses, letting you become a hexagonal fighter..." Lin Su glanced at Qiuqiu in his arms, expecting a response, and chuckled, "Never mind, let's say a hexagonal mage instead."
"However, don't bite off more than you can chew. After the beast with Tier III hypnosis skill arrives this afternoon, you'll also need to learn the evolution skill Deep Sleep and Dream with the unyielding ducks, so right now you can only learn two teaching skills. You have to fully master these two skills before you continue learning others."
"Meow!" (Two is good, too!)
Seeing that Qiuqiu had no objections to this, Lin Su smiled, "The first teaching skill is called Frost Eyes, which is a skill that can enhance your vision."
"Meow?" (How is enhancing vision useful?)
"Of course, it's useful. Think about today's battle, after that Lightning Fox's Electric Chasing broke through to Tier II, could you see its movements clearly?"
Qiuqiu tilted its head to think for a moment, then quickly lowered its head.
"Meow..." (I couldn't see clearly...)
In fact, when the opponent approached to use Electric Lock Chain, Qiuqiu simply couldn't see the opponent's actions in time, and by the time it reacted, it was already bound and paralyzed by the Electric Lock Chain.
"As a long-range damage dealer, you need to have sharp dynamic vision, so you can accurately locate your opponents, react in time, and minimize additional output waste, striking the enemy precisely," Lin Su explained, "And Frost Eyes can be of great help to you."
"Speaking of which, this skill is the Talent Skill of Snow Lynx." Lin Su smiled gently, "Do you want to take revenge on that Snow Lynx we met that day?"
"Meow! (ᓀωᓂ)" (I do!)
"Then study Frost Eyes well. After you evolve, let's go back and teach it a lesson!" Lin Su grinned.
"As for the other skill, it's one that's good for both offense and defense. You are still a bit too frail, and it's tough for you to cope once someone gets close. Although Frost Storm has gotten better after reaching Tier II, having an extra skill is better than none."
"Meow?" (What skill is it?)
"This skill has a beautiful name, called Frost Resistance." Lin Su saw Qiuqiu's eyes suddenly light up and he couldn't help but laugh, "I remember you browsed the internet and looked up this skill before. Do you want to learn it?"
"Meow!" (I want to learn!)
"However, this skill is very difficult to teach." Lin Su stroked Qiuqiu's head, "Shenwu doesn't offer the teaching skill Frost Resistance, so this time we have no shortcuts."
"Meow, meow! (๑ŏωŏ๑)" (Brave Qiuqiu is not afraid of difficulties!)
Lin Su smiled, his face showing a look of satisfaction.
Frost Resistance, this teaching skill is one of the most difficult to teach among the known Ice-type skills.
It can immediately condense frost outside the pet beast's body into petal-like shields, and produces an effect similar to knocking back approaching opponents. Each time it knocks an opponent back or blocks an opponent's attack, a petal will shatter, until all the petals are destroyed.
With this skill, Qiuqiu will have much more in the way of defensive options.
"We're here." Lin Su stopped in his tracks, looking up at the Evolution Institute they had reached unwittingly, a smile spreading across his face, "We can start learning soon."
"Meow! (。✪ω✪。)" (Let's go!)
