Fire Absorption Trait, did he just awaken the Fire Absorption Trait?
Qiao Sang was both stunned and overjoyed, practically itching to wake up the sleeping Yabao and tell him the good news.
Traits were different from skills. They were always innate, something inherited through bloodlines, not something that could simply be trained into existence.
Otherwise, research projects on trait awakening wouldn't have been dwindling over the years.
She had originally thought the training yesterday was a bit too cruel. But thinking about it now, there was clearly a reason why it had been preserved.
Awakening a trait like Fire Absorption after just one training session? Who would believe that if she said it out loud?
Qiao Sang took a deep breath, forcing down the excitement bubbling inside her. She lay back down and closed her eyes again, letting her consciousness enter the Beast Codex once more.
[Fourth Trait: Fire Absorption]
[Grade: B (1/2000)]
[Status: Practical]
[Description: Beasts with this trait are immune to fire-type moves. When struck by a fire-type move, the beast enters a "Fire Absorption" state, absorbing the flames to empower their own fire-type attacks.]
Qiao Sang reread the entry several times before returning to reality. A smile lingered on her lips as she closed her eyes, completely content and ready for sleep.
One minute later, she suddenly sat bolt upright like a flipping fish, lost in thought.
Did I just waste that reservation?
Now that Yabao had awakened the Fire Absorption Trait, it would be much more cost-effective to spar with a beast that knows fire-type skills rather than go to a fire-type training facility...
With that thought, Qiao Sang grabbed her phone and logged into the Yulianton official website.
Just as she was about to cancel her reservation, something struck her, and she exited the site.
Forget it. The reservation's already made, and it's not like I'm short on those 20 credits. Who knows when I'll visit Chaosu Star again? It might be good to experience some of the other training modules before leaving Yulianton.
With that, Qiao Sang put down her phone and lay back down for the third time.
The next morning at 7:00 AM, Qiao Sang got up on time with deep dark circles under her eyes.
Reading the Beast Codex last night had her too excited to sleep properly.
Lubao popped her head out of the water tank and, without a word, cast a beam of Healing Light on her Beastmaster.
In an instant, Qiao Sang was full of energy and radiance.
She glanced at the still-sleeping Yabao but didn't disturb him. After a quick wash, she walked into the living room.
The Vice Principal and Gangbao were clattering around the kitchen preparing breakfast. Teacher Pirite hadn't come down yet.
At the long table, Adinishi was already munching on energy pellets while wearing a bib.
Qiao Sang sat down at the table.
Soon, the Vice Principal and Gangbao brought over steaming rice porridge, boiled eggs, and a variety of breakfast dishes.
Just then, Yabao came out yawning alongside Lubao.
"Yap!"
Yabao's eyes lit up when he saw his share of energy pellets. He ran over excitedly and dug in.
"Lu Ai."
Lubao was also invigorated by the sight of energy pellets but was far more reserved. She walked over calmly and started eating in a refined manner.
Qiao Sang looked around and called out, "Little Treasure."
"Xun xun~"
In the next second, Little Treasure teleported out of nowhere, as if summoned, and immediately began stuffing energy pellets into his mouth.
Qiao Sang sipped a mouthful of hot porridge to soothe her throat, then looked at the Vice Principal and casually said, "I had Yabao go through that training you mentioned yesterday."
"Yap yap..."
Yabao paused mid-bite to chime in, confirming her words.
Liu Yao immediately understood what training Qiao Sang meant.
He sighed internally and asked, "How did it go?"
Qiao Sang cleared her throat.
"It went great. He already awakened something."
Liu Yao: ???
Yabao continued munching away on his energy pellets.
"What did he awaken?" Liu Yao's face twitched with confusion, question marks flooding his brain. He couldn't help but ask for confirmation.
"After the training yesterday, Yabao successfully awakened the Fire Absorption Trait." Qiao Sang explained.
!!! Liu Yao froze, hands off his utensils, turning toward Yabao with a stunned expression.
Then, he saw the exact same shock reflected in Yabao's eyes.
"Yap?!"
Yabao looked utterly bewildered.
He awakened the Fire Absorption Trait?
Am I really that amazing?
Out of trust in his Beastmaster, Yabao had no doubt that this was true.
"Yap yap!"
His expression quickly shifted to proud confidence, holding his head high.
"Xun xun..."
Little Treasure stared in awe, shoving energy pellets into his mouth with sparkling eyes of admiration
Liu Yao took a deep breath, still processing the news.
Though he already knew Qiao Sang was monstrously talented, this was still a massive shock.
Fire Absorption Trait, awakened just from one training session?
Is that even the same trait I know?
After a long pause, Liu Yao finally squeezed out two words: "Impressive..."
He didn't doubt Qiao Sang's words at all. With her glowing record, there was no need for her to lie about this.
After breakfast, Little Treasure instinctively activated his blue glow, preparing to teleport to the classroom.
"No need." Qiao Sang called out.
"It's Saturday. Rest day."
She had long since formed the habit of waking early on weekends too.
"Xun xun...
Little Treasure dimmed his glow and floated over to the couch. He grabbed the remote control from the coffee table, ready to watch TV.
"Ahem!" Qiao Sang cleared her throat.
"Xun xun~"
Little Treasure instantly flung the remote aside, putting on a face like he hadn't done anything at all.
Qiao Sang checked the time on her phone and said, "Rest for half an hour. Then we start training."
"Xun xun~"
Little Treasure let out a sweet chirp, asking what kind of training.
"Battle with Yabao. Use Will-o'-Wisp as much as possible." Qiao Sang said.
Now that Yabao had awakened the Fire Absorption Trait, and with her cheat-like Beast Codex, he would gain +1 mastery every time he used the trait.
A B-grade Fire Absorption Trait couldn't fully absorb fire-type moves from stronger opponents yet.
Once the trait was upgraded, however, it would make fire-type attacks practically useless. Only S-grade Fire Absorption Traits could truly achieve that level of immunity.
With this trait now awakened, Qiao Sang's training focus became clear: Have Yabao master the Fire Absorption Trait to S-grade.
Little Treasure conveniently knew Will-o'-Wisp.
Though a Ghost-type skill, its primary attribute was fire.
This made it ideal for training Yabao, and she didn't even need to spend money hiring a fire-type beast to spar with.
Little Treasure was also currently training his aura of Intimidation
He was just one step away from reaching B-grade in that aspect. With enough sparring, he should improve quickly.
This way, Yabao could train his trait, Little Treasure could sharpen his aura, they'd both gain battle experience, and she could save on costs. Truly a win-win-win-win.
"Xun xun?"
Little Treasure widened his eyes, stunned.
He was going to battle Big Brother Yabao?
"Exactly." Qiao Sang nodded.
After a pause, she added, "Starting today, you'll battle for two hours every day."
"Xun xun..."
Little Treasure staggered as if the sky had fallen. A true 'heaven wants me dead' expression overtook his face.
