Chapter 1556: Life Fragrance

"Let me check one more time," Sairui said, picking up the device and scanning Xia Bao again.

After about three minutes, he put the device down and said, "In its battle form, Xia Xia Lala has Grass, Psychic, Poison, and Water types. The Grass-type energy accounts for 82%, Psychic for 8%, Poison for 7%, and Water for 3%."

82% Grass-type energy... Qiao Sang's heart sank.

A specialist in pet energy and skills had once published a paper stating that a pet's primary attribute energy must account for over 95% for it to have the potential to learn super-tier skills at a high stage.

82% primary attribute energy... that energy ratio is just too low...

As these thoughts flashed through her mind, Teacher Mi Mi Jiala asked, "What about Xia Bao's normal form?"

"In its normal form, no Poison or Water-type energy was detected in Xia Xia Lala," Sairui replied.

Hearing this, Qiao Sang's eyes lit up instantly, and she asked, "What are the energy ratios in its normal form?"

There were only two types of energy in the normal form, making them easy to distinguish. Sairui didn't need Xia Bao to revert to its normal form to answer:

"Grass-type energy is 99%, and Psychic-type energy is 1%."

It seems my worries were unnecessary... Qiao Sang breathed a sigh of relief, then voiced her previous speculation:

"Xia Bao gains a new attribute in its battle form every time it evolves. Won't it keep gaining a new attribute with every future evolution?"

"I'm not sure about that," Sairui laughed. "No breeder before me has ever had the honor of examining Xia Xia Lala."

This meant there was absolutely no data regarding Xia Xia Lala's physical stats.

Just as Qiao Sang was about to ask something else, Xia Bao suddenly let out a cry:

"Xia xia."

It confirmed that with every future evolution, it would indeed gain an additional attribute in its battle form.

"Xun xun..."

Little Xiao Xunbao looked on with an envious expression.

Gaining a new attribute with every evolution...

In its mind, it couldn't help but imagine itself opening its mouth to breathe fire like Big Brother Like Ya Bao, or emitting a chill like Lubao that froze everything around it, or having its arms shoot out like sharp blades to attack opponents like Gangbao...

"Xun xun..."

As Little Xiao Xunbao imagined the scene, its expression grew even more envious.

Qiao Sang looked at Xia Bao and asked subconsciously, "How do you know?"

After asking, she realized something and added, "Did your memory inheritance include this information?"

"Xia xia."

Xia Bao nodded.

"What did Xia Bao say?" Teacher Mi Mi Jiala asked, unable to understand.

Sairui looked over; he couldn't understand either.

"It said that with every future evolution, it will gain an additional attribute in its battle form," Qiao Sang said.

She didn't feel particularly happy about this.

Although having many attributes meant learning a wider variety of skills, the new skills awakened with each evolution would be scattered. Awakening a skill of this attribute here and a skill of that attribute there made it very difficult to awaken truly powerful skills.

Come to think of it, Xia Bao couldn't use Poison-type skills in its normal form. After evolving, would the awakened skills be divided into two parts?

One part for skills in its normal form, and the other for skills in its battle form?

Qiao Sang recalled the unique nature of Xia Bao's Beast Taming Tome, and her heart stirred.

If Xia Bao's normal and battle forms could awaken different skills respectively, wouldn't it be able to have two or three more skills than other pets with every evolution?

Thinking of this, Qiao Sang couldn't wait to project her consciousness into the Beast Taming Tome to check.

Sairui sighed with emotion: "It truly lives up to being a legendary phantom beast. Gaining an attribute with every evolution—aside from Mechanical-type pets, I have never seen a pet with so many attributes."

"Xia xia."

Xia Bao felt embarrassed by the praise.

Teacher Mi Mi Jiala frowned slightly, looking troubled:

"Having too many attributes for a single pet isn't necessarily a good thing for a professional Beast Tamer."

Is it not a good thing? Xia Bao paused, subconsciously looking at its Beast Tamer.

I originally had the same thought, but if Xia Bao can awaken different skills in different forms, then that would definitely be a huge blessing... Qiao Sang said:

"Xia Bao's battle form skills cannot be used in its normal form. I'm thinking that Xia Bao might be able to awaken different skills in both forms."

"Regarding that, experts have already studied it," Sairui said. "For multi-form pets, the skills awakened after evolution are no different from ordinary pets. It's just that in their normal form, some skills are sealed and can only be unlocked in their battle form."

"There are also multi-form pets that can awaken different skills in their normal and special forms, and the number of awakened skills far exceeds that of other pets."

He paused, then said with certainty:

"Xia Xia Lala is definitely the latter."

I'll only know for sure after checking the Beast Taming Tome... Qiao Sang nodded in agreement:

"I think so too."

"Xia xia..."

Xia Bao understood it was being praised and became embarrassed again.

"For a professional Beast Tamer, skills should be refined, not numerous," Teacher Mi Mi Jiala said in a deep voice. "In Xia Bao's battle form, the Poison and Water-type skills account for a very small proportion. Even if it awakens far more skills than other pets, the level of these skills..."

"Wu wu."

Before she could finish, Wu Wu Yuanwang let out an impatient cry, indicating that Xia Xia Lala is a phantom beast and must be different from other pets that can change forms.

Teacher Mi Mi Jiala frowned.

Her concern was not unnecessary.

Although Xia Xia Lala is a phantom beast, its main ability is still the revival of all things. She had never heard of its combat capabilities before. She had to make Qiao Sang understand early on that if the skills Xia Bao awakened were scattered in attributes and low in level, it must be made to specifically learn some skills rather than practicing these awakened ones.

Although Wu Yuangwang interrupted her, Mi Mi Jiala opened her mouth, still wanting to continue the words she hadn't finished speaking before.

But just at this moment, the Penjiamei on the side had blue light flash in its eyes, and an invisible force controlled Mi Mi Jiala's head to look in the direction where Xia Bao was.

"Xia Xia..."

Only to see Xia Bao's head drooping, the flower bud at its neck also appearing to have wilted, looking quite sad.

Mi Mi Jiala: "!!!"

Mi Mi Jiala suddenly realized that it was her own words that had made Xia Bao become like this, so she changed the subject and hurriedly echoed Wu Yuangwang's words:

"You're right, Xia Bao's situation is definitely different from other multi-form pet beasts!"

Wu Yuangwang looked at its own Beast Tamer with quite some surprise.

"Xia Xia."

Xia Bao raised its head, the flower bud on its neck shook, and it also seemed to have come back to life.

"I have already more or less understood Xia Lala's situation. Regarding the energy pills, I can finish making them within a week," Sairui said. "Just like before, the energy pills will be made in two types: one to be eaten in the normal form, and one to be consumed in the battle form."

"Xia Xia..." Upon hearing this, Xia Bao revealed a pained expression.

Qiao Sang remembered another important matter and asked:

"One of the toxins inside Wu Yuangwang's body..."

Sairui interrupted: "Who is Wu Yuangwang?"

"Bao Wuwu."

Wu Yuangwang called out.

It's me.

Sairui looked over.

"It's the Wu Yuan Void Lord," Qiao Sang continued her previous words: "It is said that one of the toxins inside the Wu Yuan Void Lord can allow poison-type pet beasts to rapidly increase their energy. I want to know, in a situation where the level difference is huge, is it okay for Xia Bao to absorb this toxin while by its side? How long is it appropriate to absorb it every day?"

Sairui pondered for a moment and answered seriously:

"There is indeed a toxin inside the Wu Yuan Void Lord that can allow pet beasts to rapidly increase energy, but that is for poison-type pet beasts to increase energy. Xia Lala's main attribute is grass-type. Theoretically speaking, it can indeed absorb this toxin in its battle form by using the method of circulating poison-type energy, thereby increasing its energy."

"But this increases poison-type energy. If it absorbs it for a long time, the proportion of poison-type energy in Xia Lala's body in its battle form will rapidly increase, which is unfavorable for its future growth."

"So I don't suggest performing this kind of absorption."

Indeed, Xia Bao's main attribute is grass-type, and it will have an additional sub-attribute with each future evolution. The proportion of main attribute energy in its battle form itself hasn't even reached 90% yet. If the poison-type energy increases further, the proportion of grass-type energy will be even less... Qiao Sang thought while glancing in the direction where Wu Yuangwang was.

Wu Yuangwang's body stiffened.

What does that mean?

It doesn't need its toxin anymore?

Then wouldn't the reason for it staying be gone?

Qiao Sang said: "I understand."

Sairui still wanted to say something else.

Mi Mi Jiala spoke up: "You should go back, make the energy pills early, and contact me if you need any materials. If they are made, there's no need to mail them. We will be changing to different cities constantly recently, and I'll have Meimei go get them directly then."

Although Sairui still wanted to stay longer, since the senior had already said so, he nodded and said:

"Okay."

"Meimei, see him out," Mi Mi Jiala said.

Hearing this, a thought flashed through Qiao Sang's mind: You being able to have Meimei pick him up instead of going back yourself is all thanks to Teacher Teacher Yakelin...

As the thought flickered, Penjiamei's eyes flashed with blue light, and it disappeared from the spot with Sairui.

Wu Yuangwang turned around and returned to the room with a somewhat low mood.

Not long after, it came out with its luggage and walked toward the doorway.

Mi Mi Jiala was stunned for a moment: "What's wrong with you?"

Wu Yuangwang ignored her and continued walking toward the doorway.

Qiao Sang called out:

"Wu Yuangwang."

Wu Yuangwang stopped its steps and turned its head.

Mi Mi Jiala: "..."

"What's wrong?" Qiao Sang asked.

"Bao Wuwu."

Wu Yuangwang sighed, called out, and indicated that it felt there was no place for it now, so it might as well go back to live in its own room.

Originally, it could help find Xie Jianyin Jianyin Suosuo, but Xie Jianyin Jianyin Suosuo showed up on its own. It didn't matter, it could still stay to let Xia Lala speed up the absorption of poison-type energy, but that wasn't needed either.

It could no longer think of a reason to stay and live together.

Qiao Sang gestured with her head toward the room Wu Yuangwang had just walked out of and said: "Isn't this your room?"

Wu Yuangwang was stunned for a moment.

Qiao Sang continued to ask:

"You wouldn't be thinking that because Xia Bao doesn't need your toxin anymore, you feel there's no use for you, so you want to leave, right?"

Wu Yuangwang didn't speak, which counted as tacit agreement.

So that's what it was thinking... Qiao Sang sighed inwardly and said: "Even if Xia Bao doesn't need to absorb toxin, I still hope you can stay and live with us. We are heading to the Xiao Kingdom tomorrow, so we can just act together."

She paused and added:

"Teacher Mi Mi Jiala thinks so too."

Mi Mi Jiala reacted and said quickly: "Of course I think so."

Wu Yuangwang was silent for two seconds, looked at Qiao Sang, and called out with some emotion:

"Bao Wuwu."

Since you've said so, of course I will stay.

After finishing, its expression became serious, and it called out again:

"Bao Wuwu."

I will help you find that alien pet beast together.

Shi Wu Guai looked at it and revealed an expression of "just you?", but it quickly restrained it.

Wu Yuangwang took its luggage and turned back to the room.

Although Wu Yuangwang had ignored Mi Mi Jiala the whole time, she still felt a strange stir in her heart.

She keenly felt that her relationship with Wu Yuangwang was improving. If she had said this before, Wu Yuangwang would definitely have rolled its eyes or snorted coldly, saying "What do I care what you think."

But now, it didn't say anything, and even stayed behind.

"Teacher, when are we going to the Xiao Kingdom tomorrow?" Qiao Sang asked.

Mi Mi Jiala collected her thoughts and said:

"In the morning, we'll go after we eat breakfast tomorrow."

After speaking, she suddenly remembered Xia Bao's multi-attribute matter. Just as she was about to speak, she remembered Xia Bao's sad appearance and swallowed the words back.

Forget it, I'll talk to Qiao Sang about it next time when Xia Bao isn't around...

"Okay, I'll go pack my things first," Qiao Sang said, and walked toward the room.

She closed the door.

Qiao Sang didn't pack her things immediately, but leaned against the head of the bed, closed her eyes, let her consciousness enter the Beast Taming Codex, and quickly flipped to the page about Xia Bao.
