Chapter 28: Double Orange! Xiao Jiu Kills the Huge Snake for the First Time!

[Sky Breath (great success)]: A special breathing technique that has been cultivated to an extremely high realm. When a Sky-type pet flies and performs it, the usage effectiveness of its spiritual energy will be greatly increased, and the consumption of its skills will be reduced by half. At the same time, the recovery speed of spiritual energy will also be slightly increased.
The great success realm Sky Breath had almost completely eliminated the amplificated spiritual energy consumption effect brought about by the Hurricane God Wings.
On top of that, it had an additional practical effect that could accelerate the recovery of the pet’s spiritual energy. Although it was only a slight improvement, it did mean that the effect would grow stronger when the realm of the skill advanced.
“To think the effect of a beginner skill like this can be so strong after being advanced to the great success realm! But counting the decades that Xiao Jiu took to achieve this... Indeed, not many pets can do this in the early stages.”
In comparison, Wind and Feather Cut were easy to practice. Both had easily reached the proficient realm after just one or two simulations.
It was easy to familiarize oneself with beginner skills, but difficult to master them.
After the proficient realm, the speed of the advancement of skills would slow down.
After the great success realm, the speed of advancement would get even slower.
Other than running the simulations for Xiao Jiu, Wang Ye also ran the simulations for the white python a few times.
At first, the white python had been coy and abnormally resistant to Wang Ye’s strange power.
Later on, when Wang Ye chose six-dimensional growth as its reward during one of the simulations, it finally gradually accepted it.
Due to the poor six dimensions of the white python, Wang Ye’s subsequent simulations for the white python were mainly focused on its six dimensions.
He had to first help the white python to improve its six dimensions before he could consider other things.
It should have been hard to improve the six dimensions in just a few simulations, but the white python just had a knack for avoiding danger and was able to live to 60 every time.
On top of that, it would train itself very hard each time, and its growth every time was very stable.
Therefore, in just a few simulations, the white python’s six dimensions were successfully improved to 6D+ by Wang Ye.
Comparing the white python to Xiao Jiu was like comparing Heaven to Earth!
D+ growth could be considered the upper limit for a Transcendent class pet. It would be very difficult for a pet in that class to break through to C-grade growth.
“You guys have improved a lot this month, but I’ve reached a bottleneck.”
At night, looking at Xiao Jiu and the white python who were getting stronger day by day, Wang Ye was very gratified.
But in this month, his investigation had yielded nothing.
Ever since he found out that there was a possibility that a high-level strange god was hiding in Anping County, Wang Ye had been investigating.
He had also subsequently run two reality simulations, but found nothing.
In those simulations, either he died in Anping County, or he died while investigating.
He still had two chances to run the reality simulations, but Wang Ye didn’t dare to use them anymore.
The closer the time got, the deeper his sense of crisis.
Moreover, through those two reality simulations, Wang Ye found that as long as he investigated the mirror demon phantom in Anping County, he would die inexplicably.
This made him even more certain that the dark fog eruption in Anping County was most likely related to this high-level strange god.
Because of this, Wang Ye did not dare to make any moves in reality.
“Tomorrow, Commander Lin will be back,” Wang Ye was somewhat worried. “According to the reality simulation, she will bring Ming Zhu back with her... There’s no point in avoiding it. Besides, I don’t have much money left. Forget it, Xiao Jiu, let’s do another simulation. Do a good job tomorrow and earn some money!”
“Chirp!”
As a daily simulation, Wang Ye didn’t have much hope for Xiao Jiu to achieve anything at all.
With Xiao Jiu’s brave and reckless character, it would probably die faster than lightning if it left the novice village. It might as well stay in the novice village and play around more.
[Pet information has been updated, loading...]
[0 year old. The green sparrow strives for progress with determination. It has started to practice Sky-dance and absorb the spiritual energy of Heaven and Earth.]
[14 years old. The green sparrow looks like an eagle as it soars between the cliffs, overlooking the world. ]
[29 years old. The green sparrow repeatedly defeated the sky-type beasts from other skies. Its confidence increased greatly, and its strength is the best in the cliffs!]
Wang Ye curled his lips. Xiao Jiu had just broken through to level-two two days ago, and its spiritual energy value had exceeded 1,000. On top of that, it had so many great success realm skills as well as beginner skills. If it still could not run amok in the novice village, it had probably been wasting its life.
Not to mention that it had been cultivating in the simulations for so long.
[32 years old. The green sparrow met the big snake again. It fought with the latter and lost by a margin. It is recovering from its injuries...]
[40 years old. The green sparrow continued to cultivate Sky-dance. It braved the wind and dew. After absorbing the essence of Heaven and Earth, it grew to more than 20 meters. It felt that it had encountered a bottleneck.]
[55 years old. The green sparrow encounters its nemesis, the green little insect. It was eager to break through, so it wanted the green little insect to help it cultivate. It attacked! With its familiarity with the worm threads and the insect’s tail attacks, the green sparrow avoided the green little insect’s attacks. It got closer, even closer! This was the first time it was so close to the green little insect, which made the green sparrow very happy. At this moment, the green little insect suddenly opened its mouth and spat out a ball of scarlet flames. While the green sparrow was in a daze, it was burned by the flames... In its panic, it fell off the cliff.]
[56 years old. The green sparrow that fell into the pool realized that the flames on its body weren’t stopping. The pain was unbearable. In its loss for what to do, it sank to the bottom of the pool and swallowed the mysterious herb. Two scorching powers converged in its body, and gradually, it felt less pain...]
[60 years old. The green sparrow, which had been sleeping in the pool for many years, suddenly woke up one day. Its wings were covered in golden light, flowing with a myriad of colors. It seemed to have completed some sort of transformation! The hurricane came, and it flew up the cliff. This time, it met the large snake once again and fought with it. It won miserably.]
[62 years old. The green sparrow, which had defeated the large snake, flew out of the cliff proudly. One day, it was swallowed by a huge beast that blotted out the sky. It died.]
[Orange characteristic achievement: Golden-flame Spiritual Bird]
[The simulation has ended. The green sparrow has survived for 62 years and killed its old enemy on the cliff. Two of the following three rewards may be retained.]
[Skill: Sky-dance, 62 years of proficiency]
[Orange Genetic Characteristic: Golden-flame Spiritual Bird]
[62-year-old six-dimensional growth]
“!” Wang Ye was stunned.
The daily simulation worked?
Wang Ye’s current mood was no less than drawing an SSR while using the daily free draw!
“Xiao Jiu has finally defeated the snake! It has finally killed the boss of the novice village!” Wang Ye’s eyes were filled with tears.
Being a one-star level-two pet in the beginning, plus four great success realm skills, four peak proficient realm skills, and D-grade six-dimensional growth, the green sparrow had finally killed the snake!
“I choose options two and three,” Wang Ye made his choice without hesitation.
With Sky-dance’s current realm, let alone 62 years, even if it had a few more decades of proficiency, it would not have made much progress.
As for the last two options, they would probably bring about a qualitative change.
[Golden-flame Spiritual Bird (orange)]: You have endured the golden flames and swallowed a mysterious flame spiritual herb. The combination of the two flames has changed you completely. Now, you will no longer be restricted by your race and will be able to consume some spiritual herbs that you previously could not. You will also have a very low probability of comprehending some beginner abilities that surpass the limits of your race.
“Such a good characteristic! With this characteristic, the evolution after level two will be guaranteed!” Wang Ye took a deep breath.
Probably no pet could be found in the entire Anping County that had two orange characteristics!
What was even more amazing was the changes to the six dimensions that had been brought about by the growth process.
[Six-dimensional Growth: Strength (D+), Constitution (D+), Agility (D+), Spiritual Resistance (D+), Spiritual Energy (C), Soul (C-)]
All had been raised to the D+ grade!
On top of that, Spiritual Energy growth and Soul growth had been directly raised to the C-grade!
Especially Spiritual Energy growth, which had become the highest of the six dimensions in one go!
Spiritual Energy growth would affect the power of the pet’s attributed skills. The stronger the Spiritual Energy growth, the stronger the power of the skills!
“C-grade growth is already considered to be beyond the standard of a Supreme class pet. On top of that, Xiao Jiu hasn’t evolved yet. If it does...”
After the simulation, Wang Ye excitedly fell asleep with anticipation.
The next day, at the training ground of the Investigation Corps headquarters.
“Roar!!!” A fierce roar came from the training ground!
It made many investigators’ scalps go slightly numb.
It was the aura of fierce beasts!
The fierce beasts that only appeared in the wild and secret realms!
Today, the trainee investigators and reserve investigators had to face these powerful monsters in person!
Fierce beasts were not pets. There were no rules to speak of in combat with them. It was a completely different concept from a proper pet battle!
These were real battles!
However, at this moment, when the investigators braced themselves and walked into the training ground, they immediately turned from frowning faces to expressions full of fighting spirit!
Because, in the training ground, besides the several fierce beasts and Commander Lin, there was also an extremely beautiful girl!
