Chapter 1496: Gravity Rewrite

Two more traits, three more skills... Steel Wall Domain...

Before Qiao Sang could ponder further, the data in the Beast Taming Tome suddenly began to emit a white light.

Soon, the white light vanished, and all the newly appeared data disappeared without a trace.

Qiao Sang realized something, and her consciousness returned to reality.

She saw that Gangbao's form was changing, reverting to the appearance of the Steel Fist Emperor.

As expected, the five-second evolution time is up... Qiao Sang thought to herself.

Sairui was still in a state of excitement, his tone enthusiastic: "That was truly too cool! Those feathers! That gaze! It has more presence than many Emperor-tier pet beasts I've seen!"

After saying this, he thought of something and asked impatiently:

"Have you thought of what to call the Emperor-tier form of the Steel Fist Emperor?"

Qiao Sang pretended to be thoughtful and said: "I have thought about it, but I've only come up with one, and it hasn't been fully decided yet."

"What is it called?" Sairui asked.

"Steel Saliden," Qiao Sang said.

Gangbao silently glanced at its Beast Tamer.

"Steel Saliden?" Sairui was stunned for a moment, then his eyes lit up, and he praised: "That's a great name! It feels like a perfect match for the Steel Fist Emperor's Emperor-tier form!"

"Really?" Qiao Sang pretended to be pleasantly surprised.

Gangbao silently glanced at its Beast Tamer again.

Sairui: "Of course it's real. Many Emperor-tier pet beasts don't have names with such presence."

Qiao Sang: "Alright, then that will be the name. By the way, Teacher, are there any particularly hard ores on Tianyuan Star? I'm not very familiar with the mineral materials here."

Sairui: "Glaze Crystal, Mixed-Body Gold, and Heavy-Refining Stone—these are all famously hard on Tianyuan Star."

Qiao Sang: "If they are too hard, can Gangbao bite through them? It wouldn't need to use skills just to eat, right?"

Sairui: "Haha, no, it's not that hard. An Emperor-tier pet beast can definitely bite through them."

The two chatted briefly. After Penjiamei sent Sairui back, Qiao Sang returned to her hotel room, half-leaning on the bed, closing her eyes to recall the data she had seen in the Beast Taming Tome.

Steel Wall Domain, a super rare trait among Steel-type pet beasts. A pet beast with this trait can cause the surrounding field to fall into a Steel Wall Domain for a period after being summoned, even without using domain-type skills. It allows all Steel-type pet beasts within the domain to reduce incoming damage by 50%.

The trait is good; even if injured upon entering the field, damage is reduced by 50%. It's just a pity that this domain cannot be controlled manually, and the duration and range change based on the trait's level.

It's not like skills where proficiency increases allow for control over duration and range.

That wasn't even the most headache-inducing part.

The most troublesome part is that within the range of the Steel Wall Domain, even if the opponent is Steel-type, they also receive a 50% damage reduction.

In future battles, once opponents figure out this trait of Gangbao, there is a high probability they will send out Steel-type pet beasts to fight.

However, the pros still outweigh the cons. Even if the opponent is Steel-type, Gangbao's defense should still be superior to theirs... Qiao Sang continued to recall.

She remembered there was another new trait: Dominator Aura.

Dominator Aura...

Qiao Sang recalled these four words and the description that followed, and her heartbeat involuntarily accelerated a little.

Dominator Aura is a trait that only has a chance to appear in a very small number of Emperor-tier pet beasts, or even Sovereign-tier pet beasts.

If Oppressive Presence appears among some pack leaders, Dominator Aura only emerges in the highest-level pet beast of an entire species. And even that isn't absolute; not all highest-level pet beasts of a species can awaken Dominator Aura.

Many species have never had a single pet beast awaken Dominator Aura since ancient times.

For example, pet beasts whose species limit is below Emperor-tier, and many species whose limit is Emperor-tier, have never had a pet beast awaken this trait.

To think such a difficult trait to awaken was actually awakened by Gangbao... Qiao Sang sighed inwardly.

Although this trait is hard to awaken, Gangbao is the only Emperor-tier pet beast among the new forms of the Little Steel Falcon species, so it seems reasonable that it awakened this trait.

After a brief sigh, Qiao Sang recalled the last few new skills that appeared in the skill column.

Crystallization, a high-tier Steel-type skill, extremely rare. It allows the entire body to undergo temporary crystallization, significantly enhancing defense. Only specific species meeting the conditions can learn and awaken this skill. If the individual conditions are not met, even an Emperor-tier pet beast cannot learn or awaken it.

The trait and skill Gangbao awakened this time are both quite rare... Qiao Sang continued to recall.

The skill after Crystallization, she remembered, was Absolute Vacuum.

Absolute Vacuum is both a Flying-type super-tier skill and a Psychic-type super-tier skill. It can make the pressure in a certain area zero, putting it in a vacuum state.

This dual-attribute doesn't mean the pet beast must possess both Flying and Psychic attributes to learn or awaken it; rather, both Flying-type and Psychic-type pet beasts have the potential to learn and awaken this skill, just with different methods of execution.

Gangbao undoubtedly uses the Flying-type pet beast method.

Qiao Sang recalled this skill, her heart filled with emotion.

Back in the day, Gangbao wanted to learn a skill similar to the Air Evacuation trait, which is why it later learned Air Absorption. She never expected it to directly awaken a super-enhanced version of Air Absorption: Absolute Vacuum.

When she first learned of this skill, she never thought Gangbao would be able to awaken it.

She wondered if Gangbao awakening this skill had anything to do with Air Absorption reaching the profound truth level...

Qiao Sang gathered her thoughts and recalled the last skill she saw.

Gravity Rewrite...

Such a familiar skill name, she felt like she had seen it somewhere... Qiao Sang's brain quickly searched through the books she had read.

Before long, she thought of something, and her heartbeat suddenly accelerated, both pleasantly surprised and shocked.

Holy crap! Gravity Rewrite!

That Gravity Rewrite that almost became a divine-tier skill?!

Gravity Rewrite, a super-tier Steel-type skill. It can make the target's weight heavier for a certain period. This increase in weight is different from gravity directly pressing on the target; it makes the target's actual body weight heavier. It cannot be broken through or changed. Even if the pet beast using the skill is severely injured, the effect of Gravity Rewrite will not disappear until the duration ends.

This skill can significantly reduce the target's speed. As proficiency increases, the target's weight can be continuously doubled. At the profound truth level, it's not impossible to make the target's weight reach the level of a mountain. It is the absolute nemesis of Flying-type and Psychic-type pet beasts.

It is said that when proficiency reaches the late stage, one can even rewrite one's own weight.

It's just unclear whether it can only increase weight or also decrease it.

If it can decrease its own weight... Qiao Sang's heartbeat accelerated again, uncontrollably.

If it can really decrease its own weight, wouldn't Gangbao be invincible!

Uh, calling it invincible might be an exaggeration, but Gangbao's only current weakness is its slow speed. If the speed disadvantage disappears, Gangbao would instantly become a hexagonal pet beast with no weaknesses!

Qiao Sang opened her eyes and met the gaze of Gangbao, who happened to be looking over.

"Gangquan."

Just as she was about to say something, Gangbao called out, indicating that the energy from the temporary evolution had been mostly consumed and hadn't recovered yet, so it couldn't perform a second temporary evolution.

Qiao Sang: "..."

Qiao Sang said: "Evolve again once you recover your energy."

"Gangquan?"

Gangbao called out in her mind, asking if it could use Gravity Rewrite since there was only a five-second window.

Five seconds did seem a bit too short... Qiao Sang pondered for a moment and said:

"If once isn't enough, then do it multiple times. I'll only ask Teacher about Gravity Rewrite once you've successfully used it."

She remembered that the book she read only stated that if Gravity Rewrite is raised to a certain level, it can rewrite one's own weight, but it didn't explain in detail whether it could be made lighter or heavier.

"Gangquan."

Gangbao nodded and called out, indicating it understood.

"Dongdong!"

At this moment, a knock on the door sounded.

"Xun xun~"

Little Xiao Xunbao floated over and opened the door.

"Qiu qiu."

Qiubugu floated at the doorway and called out, indicating that its Beast Tamer said they could pack their things and set off for the Ice Kingdom.

"Xun xun..."

Little Xiao Xunbao wilted.

Its fans in the Yuan Kingdom...

Qiao Sang climbed off the bed: "I understand, I'll pack immediately."

"Qiu qiu?"

Qiubugu didn't leave immediately but looked at Lubao, who had just jumped out of the water tank, and called out in a pinched voice, asking if it needed help packing?

"Ice Saint."

Lubao glanced at it and called out, indicating no need.

"Xun xun~"

Little Xiao Xunbao quickly adjusted its mindset, looked at Qiubugu, and called out, indicating that if you want to pack, help me pack.

Qiubugu glanced at it and turned to leave heartlessly.

Little Xiao Xunbao: "???"

About half an hour later, the packing was finished.

Qiao Sang, wearing a wool hat, a long white down jacket that wrapped around her entire body, and a scarf around her neck, came to the living room and looked at Teacher Teacher Mi Mi Jiala, who was already prepared, asking:

"Are we leaving now?"

Teacher Mi Mi Jiala looked at her phone and said:

"Wait a little longer. The room is booked for check-in at 3:00 PM; there's nowhere to stay if we go now."

Qiao Sang said indifferently: "If we go too early, we can just walk around outside."

Teacher Mi Mi Jiala turned to look over, and when she saw Qiao Sang's attire, the corner of her mouth twitched: "The temperature in the Ice Kingdom is around minus 40 degrees during this time. You've received nourishment, so even if you go without any preparation, you can withstand the temperature there, but Xiaobao and the others..."

Her voice came to an abrupt halt.

Teacher Mi Mi Jiala spotted Xia Lala on the side, seeing it also wearing a thick down jacket, a wool hat on its head, and besides the Everstone hanging around its neck, it also had a red crystal.

She recognized it at a glance as a Warmth Stone, a Fire-type item that allows the wearer to feel warmth no matter where they are.

Teacher Mi Mi Jiala was silent for two seconds, just about to say something more.

But at this moment, she spotted Little Xiao Xunbao and the others, who were also fully armed and wearing Warmth Stones, except for Like Ya Bao.

Teacher Mi Mi Jiala fell completely silent.

Qiao Sang realized something and said:

"Everyone says the Ice Kingdom is one of the coldest countries on Tianyuan Star, so I prepared some clothes for Little Xiao Xunbao and the others when I went out before. Teacher, look, aren't they very suitable?"

Penjiamei glanced at its Beast Tamer, saying with its eyes: "Look at others."

"Xun xun~"

Little Xiao Xunbao cooperated by spinning in a circle.

"Qing qing..."

Seeing Qingbao tugged at the scarf around its neck, feeling a bit irritable, indicating it was so hot.

"Ice Saint."

Lubao called out calmly, indicating it wouldn't be hot once they reached the Ice Kingdom.

"Qing qing..."

Seeing Qingbao resisted the urge to pull off the scarf.

"Ting ting?"

Little Tingbao thought of something, came to Like Ya Bao's side, and called out, asking if it could follow Like Ya Bao the whole time while in the Ice Kingdom?

"Yaya."

Like Ya Bao glanced at it and called out, indicating you are too weak; it wouldn't be appropriate for you to follow me while I train.

Little Tingbao: "..."

Teacher Mi Mi Jiala slowly exhaled and said:

"Since you are all prepared, let's set off now."

"Xiao xiao..."

At this moment, Xiaoxiaopi called out, indicating that country was too cold, and it didn't really want to go.

Qiao Sang looked at it, suddenly thought of something, and said apologetically: "Sorry, I almost forgot about you."

After saying this, she looked at Little Xiao Xunbao and said:

"Take out the things I bought for Xiaoxiaopi last time."

"Xun xun~"

Little Xiao Xunbao took off the ring and pulled out thick clothes, a hat, a scarf, and a Warmth Stone suitable for Xiaoxiaopi's size.

Xiaoxiaopi looked at the items taken out and was stunned for a moment.

Qiao Sang smiled:

"When I bought these last time, I picked up some for you too. Put them on and see if they fit."

"Xiao xiao!"

Xiaoxiaopi was a bit moved. After quickly putting on the clothes, it called out, indicating it felt it could go to the Ice Kingdom now!

"Don't forget to wear this." After Qiao Sang put the Warmth Stone around Xiaoxiaopi's neck, she looked at Teacher Mi Mi Jiala and said:

"Teacher, we can go."

"Mei mei."

Teacher Mi Mi Jiala placed the navigation from her phone in front of Penjiamei.

"Pen pen."

Penjiamei's eyes glowed with blue light.

Soon, the group of figures vanished from the spot.

Ice Kingdom.

Heavy snow drifted, and everything around seemed to have been dyed silver-white.

In front of an exquisite ice-sculpted building, the group appeared out of thin air.

"Xia xia..."

Xia Lala shivered subconsciously.

Qiao Sang noticed this, bent down, and scooped Xia Lala into her arms.

"Xia xia..."

Xia Lala showed a comfortable expression, its head shrinking into Qiao Sang's arms.

"Is this the hotel we are staying at?" Qiao Sang asked, looking at the exquisite ice-sculpted building in front of her.

"No," Teacher Mi Mi Jiala said, "This is the Foreign Personnel Review Office."

Qiao Sang understood immediately and looked at Like Ya Bao, who was still examining the surrounding environment.

Ten minutes later.

Inside an office that felt like an ice cellar.

"Dongdong?"

A bipedal pet beast, entirely white with white whiskers, sat on a chair, looked at Like Ya Bao, and called out with a rather arrogant demeanor, asking what it was doing in their Ice Kingdom?

"Yaya!"

Like Ya Bao called out, indicating it was following its Beast Tamer.

"I'm here for tourism," Qiao Sang said.

"Dongdong."

The bipedal pet beast with white whiskers finally looked at Qiao Sang and called out, indicating to take out the documents.

Qiao Sang took out the Beast Taming Badge and identification documents she had prepared long ago.

The bipedal pet beast with white whiskers glanced at them, and upon seeing the color of the Beast Taming Badge, its arrogant expression vanished instantly. It swallowed hard and called out:

"Dongdong?"

A-level Beast Tamer?

"Yes," Qiao Sang nodded.

"Dongdong!"

The bipedal pet beast with white whiskers didn't ask any more questions, quickly stamped the entry permit with force, and called out.

Passed, passed! ===== CHAPTER 1497 =====
