Especially Doppelganger Swap. If Ziyue could instantly switch places with her doppelganger in battle, it would be like having a teleportation skill that could be used at any time.
As for Multiple Doppelgangers, with three doppelgangers plus the main body, four “Ziyues” would be on the field simultaneously. Opponents would spend a considerable amount of energy just trying to distinguish the real one from the fakes.
Moreover, when a doppelganger is shattered, it releases a disorienting light, causing surrounding enemies to fall into confusion. This means that every time an opponent shatters a doppelganger, they will suffer a negative effect.
If they don't shatter a doppelganger, they will face simultaneous attacks from four “Ziyues”.
If they shatter a doppelganger, they will suffer the confusion effect.
This dilemma is precisely the essence of Mirror Flower Water Moon.
Liu Yi stared at the information on the screen for a while before slowly putting down her phone.
In the center of the room, Ziyue was still playing a “mirroring” game with the Mirror Fox.
Chiying hovered nearby, its crimson eyes fixed on the two figures, its tail gently swaying, seemingly also studying the profoundness of this new skill.
Liu Yi leaned back on the sofa, her fingers unconsciously tapping the armrest.
Watching Ziyue skillfully manipulate the Mirror Fox, she suddenly recalled the details from when she checked the skill panel earlier.
Ice Armor's proficiency had reached Perfect level 2%, Ice Spike Perfect level 1%, and Frost Path Perfect level 5%.
These three skills were just a hair's breadth away from breaking through to Arcane.
And in her Beast Taming Space, she had accumulated quite a few proficiency boosters.
Liu Yi closed her eyes, her consciousness sinking into her Beast Taming Space.
In the white space, everything was as usual. Ziyue and Chiying's pet rooms stood quietly, the stone platform pool shimmered with colorful light, and the portable incubator in the corner emitted a warm orange glow.
She walked to the supply storage area and carefully took inventory.
A-rank Pet Skill Proficiency Booster: 10%, 43 vials remaining.
B-rank Pet Skill Proficiency Booster: 1%, 157 vials remaining.
These boosters had all been accumulated little by little through daily Gacha pulls during this period.
According to her usual principle, skill proficiency boosters should be used after a skill reaches Perfect level for maximum benefit.
Now that these three skills met the conditions, it was the perfect time to use them.
She reached out and took 9 vials of A-rank Pet Skill Proficiency Booster and 8 vials of B-rank, then brought up Ziyue's information panel.
Icy-blue light flowed across the panel, and the proficiency numbers began to flicker.
【Ice Armor (Perfect 2%) → (Proficiency increasing...) → (Arcane ∞)】
Next was Ice Spike.
9 A-rank, 9 B-rank.
【Ice Spike (Perfect 1%) → (Proficiency increasing...) → (Arcane ∞)】
Finally, Frost Path.
9 A-rank, 5 B-rank.
【Frost Path (Perfect 5%) → (Proficiency increasing...) → (Arcane ∞)】
Three icy-blue lights bloomed simultaneously on the panel, then stabilized, transforming into the characters “Arcane ∞”, quietly suspended in the skill bar.
Liu Yi looked at the three “∞” symbols, the corners of her mouth curving up unconsciously.
Three skills breaking through to Arcane simultaneously meant that Ziyue's strength had risen another level.
After Ice Armor reached Arcane, its defense would greatly increase, and energy distribution would become more precise.
When attacked, it could instantly concentrate the armor's energy on the hit area, minimizing damage, and the recoil damage ratio would also be higher.
When Ice Spike broke through to Arcane, not only would the number of summoned ice spikes increase to over twelve, but its accuracy would greatly improve, and the chance of freezing would also be higher.
More importantly, Arcane-level Ice Spike could manually adjust the landing points of the ice spikes, predicting enemy movements for precise strikes.
When Frost Path reached Arcane, the path could automatically extend to track enemies, and both the slowing effect on enemies and the acceleration effect on itself would greatly increase.
In complex terrains like floating islands, the tactical value of this skill would be even more prominent.
After exiting her Beast Taming Space, Liu Yi gently exhaled and stretched her somewhat stiff neck.
Ziyue had already retracted her doppelganger and was crouching at Liu Yi's feet, looking up at her with curiosity in her purple eyes.
“It's nothing,” Liu Yi said, rubbing its ears. “I just organized your skill proficiencies.”
She stood up and went to the bathroom to wash up.
When she came out, Ziyue had already jumped onto the bed, found her usual spot, and lay down, her two tails draped lazily over the edge.
Chiying, meanwhile, was coiled on its exclusive mat in the corner of the room, its golden patterns faintly shimmering with its breathing.
Liu Yi sat on the edge of the bed, drying her hair, and picked up her phone.
On the screen, the school team group chat had already accumulated 99+ messages.
She tapped it open and saw a message from the coaching staff at the top, @-ing everyone:
【Coaching Staff: @Everyone The battle schedule for tomorrow has been released. Please check it. Starting from the second week, the cross-grade points matching mechanism will be implemented. All contestants, please prepare your tactics according to your opponents' situations.】
Below it was a long screenshot of the battle schedule.
Liu Yi opened the image, her gaze quickly scanning the information.
The list for the third-year grade was at the top.
Ouyang Qin's opponent was a third-year student from Skywing High School who also had a perfect six-win record. Li Chengying was matched against a third-year student from Monte Beast Taming Academy, and Gao Xue's opponent was a third-year contestant from Jinnan Yunyong Beast Taming High School.
On the second-year grade side, Wei Tan'an's opponent was a second-year student from Golden Scale Academy with a five-win, one-loss record. Most of the other second-year team members were also matched against opponents with similar points.
Then came the first-years.
Liu Yi's gaze fell on her own name.
【National High School League First Stage · Monte Competition Zone · Week 2 · Day 1 Battle Schedule】
【Time: Monday, October 13, 14:20】
【Venue: Sky Colosseum · District F Battle Zone 1】
【Tianqi Beast Taming High School · First-Year Contestant · Liu Yi】
【Registered Pets: Silver Snow Fox (Ice attribute · Intermediate stage), Moling Dragon (Dragon + Poison attribute · Intermediate stage)】
【First Week Total Personal Points: 60 points】
VS
【Monte Beast Taming Academy · Second-Year Contestant · Fang Mingming】
【Registered Pets: Balloon Sheep (General + Flying attribute · Intermediate stage), Torrent Hound (Water attribute · Intermediate stage)】
【First Week Total Personal Points: 60 points】
Liu Yi stared at the screen for a few seconds, then let out a helpless laugh.
The cross-grade points matching mechanism would be activated starting from the second week. The backend system algorithm might match based on three factors: contestants' personal points, number of pets, and pet Levels.
Her personal points were 60, and both her pets were at the Intermediate stage.
Opponent Fang Mingming also had 60 personal points, and both his pets were at the Intermediate stage.
She hadn't expected her first cross-grade match in the second week to be a perfect, comprehensive match across all three criteria.
“This matching system…” Liu Yi said, a hint of exasperation in her voice. “I don't know if it's bad luck, or just too much good luck.”
