“We can try it when we get back,” Liu Yi said. “But don't rush; an A-rank skill isn't something you can master in a day or two.”
“Mo.”
Chiying also opened its eyes and gently nudged Ziyue’s head with its dragon horn.
The maglev sightseeing vehicle steadily stopped in front of the Cloud Dream Hotel.
After the four got out, Li Chengying yawned, “I’m heading back to sleep first. See you tomorrow!”
Gao Xue nodded at Liu Yi and followed Li Chengying towards the elevator.
Ouyang Qin looked at Liu Yi. “Tomorrow at 8 AM, meet in the hotel lobby. Don’t forget.”
“Mm, I know.”
Liu Yi returned to room 1608 with Ziyue and Chiying.
After swiping open the door, Ziyue immediately jumped onto the balcony to continue observing the floating island’s nightscape.
Chiying hovered in the center of the room, and only after confirming everything was safe did it slowly descend onto its exclusive mat.
Liu Yi put down her backpack and went to the bathroom for a quick wash.
When she came out, her phone vibrated.
It was a group message from 【Did You Work Hard Today Too?】.
【The Beautiful Master of Cute Shadow: @Yi @Zimeng's Dream @Green Lamp with Clouds Sisters! We’ve arrived in the Zell Region! The swamps here are really huge! The kind you can’t see the end of!】
【The Beautiful Master of Cute Shadow: [Image][Image][Image]】
【The Beautiful Master of Cute Shadow: Shadow saw a swamp for the first time and was so curious it almost got stuck! Luckily, Sister Qianfan’s Crystal Jellyfish pulled it out in time (╥╯^╰╥)】
Liu Yi tapped on the images.
The first picture showed the Zell Region’s endless swamp wetlands, with large patches of water lilies floating on the surface, and occasionally a few Water-type pets poking their heads out.
The second picture showed the Phantom Cat being lifted by a Crystal Jellyfish with a Healing Bubble, its cat face utterly dejected.
The third was Baili Jinxuan’s selfie, with the swamp at sunset in the background. She was making a peace sign and smiling happily.
A faint smile touched Liu Yi’s lips.
【Yi: Safety first.】
【Zimeng's Dream: It’s been raining constantly in the Yunlin Region! It’s a soft drizzle, and my Diandian is super excited, running around outside and won’t come back no matter how much I call QAQ】
【Green Lamp with Clouds: Normal. Zhuzhu doesn’t like it much, it’s been floating beside me and won’t move.】
【The Beautiful Master of Cute Shadow: @Yi How about you all? How’s the Monte Region? Do the floating islands really move?】
Liu Yi thought for a moment, then typed a reply.
【Yi: The floating islands do move slowly. Today, we went to a restaurant called Cloud Arena. It has a battle platform in the center, so we could eat while watching exhibition matches.】
【Zimeng's Dream: !!! That sounds so cool!】
【The Beautiful Master of Cute Shadow: Pictures, please! Pictures!】
Liu Yi scrolled through her phone’s photo album, picked a few pictures taken at the Cloud Arena, and sent them to the group.
One was an overhead view of the restaurant’s interior, with the central battle platform clearly visible.
Another showed Ziyue’s profile, focused on watching the exhibition match, with the Ice Crystal Deer unleashing an extremely cold beam in the background.
One was Chiying hovering beside her, with the floating island nightscape outside the window as the backdrop.
The last one was her photo of the “Floating Combo,” served on a three-tiered floating tray, looking very high-tech.
【The Beautiful Master of Cute Shadow: Wow!! This is too beautiful!!】
【The Beautiful Master of Cute Shadow: Do you have a video of that Ice Crystal Deer exhibition match? Do you?】
【Yi: I didn’t record a video, but Ziyue is very interested in the Ice Crystal Doppelganger and wants to learn it.】
【Green Lamp with Clouds: Ice Crystal Doppelganger? An A-rank skill?】
【Yi: Mm, I saw it at the restaurant’s exhibition match.】
【Zimeng's Dream: Ziyue is too studious! My Diandian only thinks about eating and playing every day ( Ĭ ^ Ĭ )】
【The Beautiful Master of Cute Shadow: Same pet type! Shadow is like that too, it needs to rest for half an hour after ten minutes of training ( Ĭ ^ Ĭ )】
【Green Lamp with Clouds: ...Your pets’ personalities are just like that, don’t post everything in the group chat.】
【Zimeng's Dream: Nanyun, you’re so heartless!】
【The Beautiful Master of Cute Shadow: Nanyun, you’re so heartless!】
【Green Lamp with Clouds: [Death Smile.jpg]】
Liu Yi chuckled softly, put down her phone, and opened her laptop to the Beast Tamer Forum, beginning to search for detailed information on “Ice Crystal Doppelganger.”
Ziyue jumped onto the bed, lay beside her, and stared intently at the screen. Chiying hovered behind her, equally focused on the flickering text and images.
More information about the skill quickly appeared on the screen.
【Ice Crystal Doppelganger (A-rank Ice-type Skill) Advanced Explanation】
Skill Principle: Through precise Energy Control, use ice crystals to create a doppelganger identical to the main body. The doppelganger will replicate the main body’s energy fluctuations and aura, capable of confusing opponents for a short period.
Key Difficulties:
Precise replication of energy fluctuations: The doppelganger’s energy fluctuations must be identical to the main body’s, otherwise it will be seen through by opponents with keen senses.
Main body concealment: While the doppelganger is released, the main body needs to quickly conceal its aura and hide its form, otherwise the doppelganger loses its meaning.
Energy consumption control: Creating a perfect doppelganger requires a large amount of energy. The key is to precisely release it at critical moments.
Training Suggestions:
Start by creating simple ice crystal illusions, gradually increasing the detail and similarity of energy fluctuations.
It is more effective when used in conjunction with concealment-type skills or traits.
It is recommended to practice in a quiet environment to avoid external interference.
Liu Yi carefully read every word, her fingers gently tapping on the tabletop.
Although some detailed skill information could be found online, simply reading these materials wouldn't enable a pet to learn them.
Most people still took their pets to professional training halls to enroll in classes, but even training halls couldn't guarantee that every pet would learn a skill just by signing up.
Not to mention, Ice Crystal Doppelganger was an A-rank skill. Pets at the Junior and Intermediate stages definitely couldn't learn it, and even Advanced-rank pets might not.
However, Liu Yi believed that with Ziyue’s comprehension, learning it would certainly not be a problem; it was just a matter of time.
Ziyue, beside her, also watched very intently, the text on the screen reflected in her purple eyes. Occasionally, she tilted her head, seemingly deep in thought.
“The core of Ice Crystal Doppelganger is ‘making the false indistinguishable from the real,’” Liu Yi analyzed softly. “It’s not simply creating an ice sculpture, but making it possess the same energy fluctuations as you, so opponents can’t tell the difference.”
“Bingbing.”
Ziyue nodded, indicating understanding.
“You’ve already mastered Ice Blast, so you have a foundation in precise ice crystal control,” Liu Yi continued. “And your Frost Breath and Ice Blade have both reached Arcane proficiency, so your perception and control over Ice-type energy should be fine.”
She paused, then pulled up another piece of information. “Look here, the creation steps for Ice Crystal Doppelganger: first, condense the core energy, then extend it outwards to build the form, and finally, inject the same energy fluctuations as the main body.”
