“Crack—”
With a crisp shattering sound, the light cocoon exploded!
Countless golden light sparks rained down, merging into the Dragon Ridge the moment they touched the ground.
In the center of the light cocoon, a figure slowly emerged.
Chiying was now approximately two meters long, its entire body still covered in ink-jade scales and dark purple dragon manes.
The golden patterns, originally only around its eyes and tail, became more intricate and magnificent, extending to its four five-toed claws, appearing like flowing rivers of gold against the dark scales.
Most striking were the nascent dragon horns on its head; new forked branches emerged from a third of the slightly elongated horns, forming an elegant Y-shaped arc.
Its crimson eyes seemed to hold endless majesty and power, as if they could see through everything.
Chiying had successfully evolved!
Liu Yi immediately pulled up Chiying’s information.
【Name: Moling Dragon】
【Attribute: Dragon + Poison】
【Level: Intermediate stage (1%)】
【Skills: Poison Fang (Proficient 77%), Venom Spray (Proficient 94%), Glare (Arcane ∞), Dragon Starfall (Entry level 54%), Dragon Dance (Entry level 1%), Dragon's Rage (Entry level 1%), Rising Dragon Strike (Entry level 1%), Death Rain (Entry level 1%)】
【Traits: Counter-Poison (Entry level 61%), Poison Scales (Entry level 66%), Scorn (Arcane ∞), True Dragon's Eye (Arcane ∞), Cloud Walking (Arcane ∞)】
Liu Yi’s gaze immediately fell on True Dragon's Eye and Cloud Walking in the traits section.
No other reason.
It was just that the two massive 【Arcane ∞】 entries stood out too much compared to the string of 【Entry level 1%】 in the skills section above.
But Liu Yi, despite her diligent studies, didn't know what these two traits were at the moment.
She took out her phone and typed “Trait: True Dragon's Eye” into the search bar of the Beast Tamer Association official database, but the page displayed “No record of this trait. Perhaps you meant to search for the following similar traits...”
Liu Yi tilted her head in confusion and then searched for “Trait: Cloud Walking.” The result was still blank.
“Strange.”
She reopened Chiying’s information and once again focused on the two new traits.
Just then, detailed descriptions slowly appeared on the panel.
【True Dragon's Eye (Arcane ∞): Can see through all illusions and disguises, immune to illusion-type skills, and can directly perceive the target's true nature.】
【Cloud Walking (Arcane ∞): As a True Dragon, it can naturally move freely in the air.】
Liu Yi was momentarily stunned. No wonder she had felt a sense of incongruity earlier.
She looked up at the evolved Chiying, which had been floating in mid-air ever since it emerged from the light cocoon.
Seeing that Liu Yi was finally looking at it again, Chiying flew a circle around Liu Yi and Ziyue, then settled silently, staring at Liu Yi's shoulder.
Liu Yi understood the reason for Chiying's silence; it was similar to Ziyue's earlier.
She patted Ziyue’s and Chiying’s heads. “There’s nothing for it, you’ll just have to get used to it for now. Once my Beast Taming Space progress breaks through 40%, you’ll be able to freely change your size within your previous levels through the Beast Taming Space.”
After comforting Ziyue and Chiying, Liu Yi continued to examine Chiying's newly acquired skills.
There were four new skills, which she guessed meant it had comprehended one through the [Dragon Vein Ridge] and gained three more from evolution.
Dragon Dance is a B-rank skill, a Dragon-type buff skill. Through a special dragon dance, it can increase its own Attack and Speed.
It was actually the only pure buff skill among Dragon-type skills.
Because many native attribute attack skills of Dragon-type pets were already quite strong, and Dragon Dance's boost wasn't particularly significant, it was classified as a B-rank skill.
Next was Dragon's Rage, an A-rank Dragon attribute skill.
It releases a high-pressure Dragon-type energy wave, dealing damage to enemies in a straight line and having a 20% chance to inflict the [Flinching] effect.
Due to its powerful might, long range, and additional effect, it was classified as an A-rank skill.
However, from the perspective of its linear trajectory, Liu Yi felt it might be easily blocked if the terrain was complex or had obstacles.
If its proficiency increased later and Dragon Dance was used beforehand, it would be excellent if its power could be strong enough to pierce through obstacles directly.
Rising Dragon Strike, an A-rank Dragon attribute skill.
It lunges upwards before diving to attack, ignoring defensive and protective skills, but it leaves the user unable to move for a certain period afterward.
In other words, if one doesn't have absolute certainty of knocking out the opponent with this skill, the subsequent state of immobility could easily put oneself at an absolute disadvantage.
This was why Rising Dragon Strike, despite its powerful might and the strong point of ignoring defense, was still classified as an A-rank skill.
The last one was Death Rain.
Liu Yi wasn't very clear about this skill. From its name, it shouldn't be a Dragon attribute skill, so it must be a Poison attribute skill?
She took out her phone and searched for “Skill: Death Rain” in the Beast Tamer Association official database.
The search results quickly appeared.
【Death Rain, an A-rank Poison attribute skill, unleashes highly venomous acid rain over an area of effect, dealing damage to all units (including teammates) and continuously inflicting the [Poisoned] status. During the duration of the acid rain, all Water-type skills will gain poisonous effects. Note: This skill causes significant environmental damage and is prohibited in most public areas.】
“An indiscriminate attack.” Liu Yi looked at Chiying thoughtfully. However, they mostly participated in 1v1 battles now, so there was no need to worry about harming teammates.
Moreover, because of the Counter-Poison trait, if Chiying used Death Rain against Water-type pets, the opponent's Water-type skills would gain poisonous effects, and attacking Chiying would instead restore Chiying's stamina.
After evolving, Chiying gained one B-rank skill and three A-rank skills, and Ziyue also newly comprehended an A-rank skill.
Liu Yi felt almost numb just thinking about the words “A-rank skill” now.
She felt her perception was being spoiled by Ziyue and Chiying. How could A-rank skills be learned and comprehended like they were being sold wholesale?
Outside, learning an A-rank skill was both financially costly and time-consuming.
She felt she needed to adjust her perspective slightly, lest she unconsciously put pressure on the Blaze Lion that would hatch later.
“Bingbing!”
Liu Yi closed Chiying’s information and saw Ziyue curiously touching Chiying's newly grown forked dragon horn, expressing admiration.
Just then, the heavy door far outside the platform made a few sounds, then slowly opened.
Administrator Ping Yuanliang’s voice came from above:
“Student Liu Yi, your three days of cultivation time are up. Please bring your pets to the exit.”
