Chapter 652: **Lava Purgatory**

The first page of the Beast Taming Codex flipped open to Like Ya Bao.

Qiao Sang, who had originally intended to check the Ghost Fire data for Little Xiao Xunbao first, stopped in her tracks, her gaze sweeping over the brand-new stats.

【Points: 8552】

During Like Ya Bao's time at school, skills with high destructive power couldn't be practiced casually, but most other skills had been quickly trained to the peak of Profound Truth through the use of clones.

Qiao Sang hadn't checked the data for a while, so she skimmed through these, her gaze fixing on the three newly appeared skills at the end.

Blast Burn, Scorching Wind, Lava Purgatory... Qiao Sang fell into deep thought.

Good heavens, these are all Fire-type skills that aren't commonly seen...

Aside from Scorching Wind, which she knew was a high-tier Fire-type skill that blew scorching wind at the target to cause damage with a certain chance of inflicting burn status, she hadn't seen the other two before.

Blast Burn—judging by the name, it should be a projectile-type attack skill formed by condensed flames.

As for Lava Purgatory... she'd look it up when she got out... Qiao Sang decisively gave up on thinking, flipped the page, and arrived at the page regarding Little Xiao Xunbao.

Skipping the information above, she looked directly at the Ghost Fire data.

【Ghost Fire (Major Achievement 1123/5000)+】

【Ghost Fire (Major Achievement 1832/5000)+】

【Ghost Fire (Major Achievement 2109/5000)+】

Qiao Sang's eyes lit up, thinking that the Ghost Fire data was rising almost every second, just like Little Xiao Xunbao's tier data had been when it was absorbing emotional energy not long ago.

The difference was that back then, the tier data was rising by 1 or 2 points, whereas now, the Ghost Fire data was rising by several hundred points per second—the gap was immense.

Realizing that Little Xiao Xunbao had successfully begun absorbing the Ghost Fire slurry, Qiao Sang's consciousness returned to reality.

As soon as she opened her eyes, she saw Little Xiao Xunbao glowing bright red, like a boiled shrimp.

But the next second, the gem on Lubao's forehead lit up, casting a Light of Healing upon it.

The blue light faded, and Little Xiao Xunbao's body returned to its original color.

However, it quickly turned back into a boiled shrimp again.

Blue light, recovery, turning red, blue light, recovery, turning red... it repeated over and over.

Qiao Sang watched from the side, her heart pounding with fear, terrified that if Lubao wasn't timely enough, Little Xiao Xunbao would be thoroughly cooked.

The instructions hadn't mentioned this reaction after consuming Ghost Fire slurry... Qiao Sang felt a bit panicked, but remembering Lubao's Light of Healing, her state of mind instantly stabilized.

She didn't know how much time had passed, but the Lava Beast stopped vomiting, merely lying weakly on the ground.

"Super Xunxun..."

Little Xiao Xunbao slowly opened its eyes, recalling the experience just now, and wiped its forehead of non-existent sweat, revealing a look of lingering fear.

Qiao Sang entered the Beast Taming Codex, saw that the Ghost Fire data had become (Profound Truth/Max), and as her consciousness returned to reality, she pointed at the Ghost Fire slurry still remaining on the ground and said:

"Do you want to absorb some more?"

"Super Xunxun!"

"Super Xunxun!"

Little Xiao Xunbao shook its head repeatedly.

It was too terrifying! It didn't want to!

Qiao Sang didn't force it, seeing that Little Xiao Xunbao's Ghost Fire had gone from early Major Achievement to Profound Truth, which was already a qualitative leap.

If this were a beast tamer without a golden finger, even a Ghost-type pet with exceptional talent would take several years of normal practice to train an intermediate skill to the Profound Truth level.

Like Ya Bao had successfully evolved, the Ghost Fire slurry had been collected, and Little Xiao Xunbao had absorbed the slurry, saving a massive amount of training time—tonight's events could simply be called perfect... Qiao Sang felt satisfied, then thought of something and looked at the Lava Beast.

How should she handle this Lava Beast? She couldn't just send it back...

"Lava..."

The Lava Beast felt her gaze and retreated repeatedly.

It remembered that the terrifying pet had been put away by the human in front of it...

"That..." Qiao Sang began.

"Lava!"

But before she could finish, the Lava Beast suddenly turned around and sprinted away for its life, turning into a mere dot and disappearing from sight.

Qiao Sang: "..."

Forget it, this was fine too.

Qiao Sang picked up her phone and saw that it was already past midnight.

Then, she thought of something, performed a hand seal, and summoned Like Ya Bao.

"Ya!"

As soon as Like Ya Bao appeared, it let out a high-pitched cry.

Powerful air currents swirled around it.

"Like Ya Bao," Qiao Sang called out.

"Yaya?"

Like Ya Bao looked in the direction of the voice, but seeing no one, it tilted its head in confusion.

Where was its beast tamer?

"Lower your head a bit more," Qiao Sang said.

"Ya?"

Like Ya Bao lowered its head, but still couldn't see her.

Qiao Sang's mouth twitched: "Back up a bit, then lower your head."

"Yaya!"

Like Ya Bao took a large step back, lowered its head, and then let out a happy cry, indicating it could finally see her!

The micro-shrinkage bracelet was truly a great invention... Qiao Sang looked at Like Ya Bao's massive size and realized the benefits of the bracelet even more.

If she didn't have the micro-shrinkage bracelet, let alone keeping the pet in the hotel room, she'd have to spend half a day just finding her own pet for daily training...

No wonder one rarely saw General-tier pets on the street; with such a massive size, any casual movement could easily cause an accident...

Qiao Sang organized her thoughts and said: "Like Ya Bao, you're too big now, and since the micro-shrinkage bracelet is gone, you can't fit in the hotel room. You'll have to stay in the Beast Taming Codex for tonight. I'll pre-order a micro-shrinkage bracelet online."

"Don't worry, even if I can't get a reservation for the bracelet right away, it's fine. At most, in two days, I'll finish this task and leave here, then find a house large enough for your current size."

"Yaya."

Like Ya Bao wasn't discouraged; it wagged its tail and let out a cry, indicating it understood.

It couldn't be helped; it was just too majestic and imposing now.

It had grown up... Qiao Sang waved her hand with a sense of relief and recalled it into the Beast Taming Codex.

2:03 AM.

Sota Hotel.

Room 3406.

Qiao Sang leaned against the headboard and sent off the application for the micro-shrinkage bracelet.

The condition for applying for the bracelet was that the pet's size had to reach 6 meters or more, and Like Ya Bao now met the criteria.

Closing the page, Qiao Sang opened her messaging app, intending to set a time with the beast tamer who possessed the SS-tier Ghost Fire slurry.

But just as she typed a single character, Qiao Sang thought of something and exited the chat interface.

The Ghost Fire slurry had only appeared tonight; contacting him now would be too obvious. She would wait a bit longer...

Then, Qiao Sang remembered something else, opened the search engine, and typed in the three characters "Blast Burn."

The page quickly displayed relevant information:

【Blast Burn, high-tier Fire-type skill; attacks the target with a bomb-like explosion of flames, with a certain chance of inflicting burn status.】

Just as she had thought... Qiao Sang scrolled up and re-entered the four characters "Lava Purgatory" into the search bar.

The page redirected, and Qiao Sang clicked on a post popularizing Lava Purgatory.

【Lava Purgatory, Super-tier Fire-type skill...】

Qiao Sang's gaze remained fixed on the two characters "Super-tier," unable to look away.

Super-tier?

Super-tier?!
