When the energy orbs struck, the armor's concentrated defense areas formed naturally; before Chiying's Glare skill hit, Ziyue had already averted her gaze; and in the intervals between attacks, an Ice Blade shot out precisely, striking the center of the target.
Chiying also continuously adjusted the timing and angle of her Glare, trying to create more trouble for Ziyue.
“Bang!”
After another round of coordinated training, the training ground suddenly fell silent.
Liu Yi turned her head and saw that Wei Xiuyu was standing not far away, and Ouyang Qin and the other two were silently watching their training from behind Wei Xiuyu.
“Teacher Wei.”
Wei Xiuyu approached, her gaze sweeping back and forth between the two pets. “Cross-training? Whose idea?”
“Mine,” Liu Yi said frankly. “I wanted them to mutually enhance each other.”
Wei Xiuyu was silent for a moment, then suddenly asked, “Do you know why most Beast Tamers initially train their pets separately?”
Liu Yi thought for a moment. “Because it's difficult for low-level Beast Tamers to simultaneously monitor the training status of two pets?”
“Not just that.” Wei Xiuyu looked at Ziyue and Chiying in the arena. “Different pets also have varying training needs and rhythms.”
She changed her tone. “But your method... is quite special. Using one pet's skills to create pressure for the other, while training both simultaneously.”
Wei Xiuyu quickly jotted something down on her tablet. “This training method requires a Beast Tamer to have an extremely strong understanding and control over their pets, otherwise accidents can easily happen.”
She looked at Liu Yi. “But it seems you and your pets coordinate very well.”
It was the first time Wei Xiuyu had given such clear affirmation, and Liu Yi couldn't help but smile slightly. “Thank you, Teacher.”
Ouyang Qin and the two others behind Wei Xiuyu had varied expressions.
Li Chengying's mouth was wide enough to fit an egg. She pointed at Ziyue and Chiying, who were perfectly coordinated in the arena, her voice changing pitch. “This... this is possible?”
She abruptly turned to Gao Xue. “Xiao Xue, did you see that? Is that really an Intermediate pet? It can adjust the energy distribution on its armor, dodge attacks, and counterattack all at the same time! And it's even while being interfered with by Glare!”
Gao Xue didn't respond immediately. Her gaze was fixed on Ziyue, and her fingers rubbed her chin.
The Night Shadow Doll beside her tilted its head, imitating her thoughtful posture.
“Theoretically...” Gao Xue finally spoke, her voice like a murmur to herself. “If a pet's energy control reaches a certain level, it can indeed...”
“But it's only an Intermediate pet right now!” Li Chengying excitedly interrupted her. “If it were a Peak stage pet, I wouldn't be so surprised!”
Ouyang Qin crossed her arms, sharply observing the training in the arena. “The key isn't the rank.”
She turned to Liu Yi, an appreciative expression on her face. “Your training approach is very unique.”
Liu Yi nodded slightly. “Thank you, Senior. Actually, Ziyue and Chiying themselves are very intelligent and quick to learn.”
Li Chengying dramatically clutched her chest. “Oh my goodness, such excellent pets and so humble! I suddenly feel like my Mianmian is a bit clumsy!”
The Cloud Howler Sparrow on her head pecked at her hair in annoyance, eliciting a yelp of pain.
Gao Xue pondered. “Perhaps, we could also try a similar training method?”
Wei Xiuyu interrupted their discussion. “Alright, today's training time is almost up.”
She looked at Liu Yi. “Continue tomorrow, you can head back now.”
Liu Yi acknowledged with a sound, then walked out of the exclusive School Team training ground with Ziyue and Chiying.
From behind her, Li Chengying's wail could be heard: “Teacher Wei! I want to try that training method too!”
“First, get your Cloud Howler Sparrow's speed training up to standard,” Wei Xiuyu's cool voice replied.
As they walked out of the training ground, the sky had already begun to darken slightly.
Liu Yi stretched her body, feeling that today's training had been very fruitful.
“Let's go home,” she said to Ziyue and Chiying.
“Bingbing~”
Ziyue rubbed against her leg, indicating agreement.
“Moling.”
Chiying also nodded.
On the way home, Liu Yi reflected on today's training.
The energy distribution technique Teacher Wei taught was very practical, and the effect of her having Ziyue and Chiying train together was unexpectedly good.
Ziyue's performance under high pressure was surprising, and Chiying's Glare skill proficiency also improved rapidly.
“Tomorrow morning, you'll train at the Tower of Trials,” Liu Yi planned as she walked. “After school team training in the afternoon, we'll practice today's exercises again.”
“Bingbing!”
“Moling.”
The two pets responded enthusiastically.
The afterglow of the setting sun spilled onto the street, stretching the shadows of Liu Yi and her two pets long.
Ziyue followed closely by Liu Yi's side, while Chiying coiled around her neck, its crimson eyes half-closed.
“Are you tired?” Liu Yi gently stroked Chiying's dragon horn. “From the Tower of Trials to school team training this afternoon, the intensity was quite high.”
“Moling.”
Chiying rubbed against her cheek, indicating it was fine.
“Bingbing~”
Ziyue looked up and let out a cry, her two tails wagging happily, clearly pleased with today's training results.
Liu Yi smiled, watching them. “Rest well after we get home today, and tomorrow—”
“Mommy, look! That little dragon is so cool!” A little girl with a backpack tugged her mother's hand and exclaimed, “When I awaken later, can I also contract a pet like that?”
“Shhh, don't point at people...” The mother quickly stopped her child, offering Liu Yi an apologetic smile.
Liu Yi nodded slightly in response, then suddenly sensed an unusual static electricity in the air.
Ziyue's ears suddenly twitched, and Chiying also abruptly lifted its head, its crimson eyes locking onto the alley entrance ahead.
“Bang!”
A loud bang erupted from the alley, followed by the screams of the crowd.
“Watch out!”
“Quick, get out of the way!”
“What just burst out?”
Pedestrians scattered and fled, as several people dressed as office workers rushed out of the alley in a panic.
A lady in high heels stumbled and fell, her documents scattering across the ground. The Snow Fluffball beside her, startled, puffed up its fur and clung to her head.
Liu Yi quickly stepped forward and helped her up. “Are you alright?”
The lady's face was pale, but she didn't forget to pat the Snow Fluffball reassuringly. She told Liu Yi, “There's a mad Lightning Rat in there, child, you should leave quickly.”
No sooner had she spoken than a golden figure shot out from the alley entrance. As it passed, streetlights crackled, and the alarms of two electric bikes parked by the roadside blared wildly.
Only then did Liu Yi clearly see that it was a Lightning Rat with abnormally colored fur, bloodshot eyes, and wild electric arcs crackling around its body.
“Get out of the way! Everyone, move!” Four men in grey uniforms rushed out of the alley. The leader held a capture net, and the other three each had a Junior pet by their side.
There was an Ironhead Turtle, a Fiery Dog, and a Vine Monkey, but these pets all looked to be in poor condition.
