Chapter 678: Sealing

The night was deep. Previously, Little Treasure Hunter had only been seen from afar, its outline and appearance changing. Now that it had drifted closer, Qiao Sang discovered that all the parts of it that were usually gray had turned a grayish-black.

Qiao Sang was stunned for a moment. She had seen pictures of Ghost Ring Kings before and remembered that even after evolving into a Ghost Ring King, it should still be gray like its previous stages...

Evolution? The surprise was actually letting me watch the Ghost Ring Ghost evolve... Tang Yi suppressed the urge to vomit blood as he looked at the still-small Ghost-type pet.

He had seen dozens of General-level pets in reality, and each one basically possessed a powerful aura.

Even if some were less than six meters tall, one could almost tell at a glance that they were General-level. Yet, he felt no change in the aura of the Ghost Ring King before him.

If one didn't know this was a General-level Ghost Ring King, people would probably believe it if told it was a High-level or even a Mid-level pet.

At this moment, Liu Yao had already steeled himself and walked closer, but after approaching, he suddenly let out a soft "eh."

"Your Ghost Ring King..."

Don't stop halfway through your sentence... Qiao Sang looked at the Vice Principal: "What's wrong with the Ghost Ring King?"

Liu Yao was silent for a few seconds: "Let's go into the living room first. It's too dark here; it might be a lighting issue."

Once these words were spoken, Qiao Sang immediately understood that the Vice Principal was likely referring to the color of Little Treasure Hunter's body.

The three of them walked into the living room one after another.

"Xun xun~"

Little Treasure Hunter couldn't wait to drift in front of the full-length mirror, turning left and right, admiring its current appearance.

After watching for a while, it revealed a satisfied expression.

It looked better than in the pictures, though its size was a bit small. But that wasn't a problem; it could learn that Dark Shadow move that allowed it to grow larger.

Under the lights, the color of Little Treasure Hunter's body was much clearer than before.

"It seems that after your Ghost Ring Ghost evolved into a Ghost Ring King, it has changed from a partial variant to a true variant," Liu Yao remarked while watching Little Treasure Hunter looking in the mirror.

Qiao Sang nodded: "I noticed that too."

A normal Ghost Ring King is gray and yellow. Little Treasure Hunter previously only had golden pupils, hair, and rings, making it different from its kin. Now, even its body color was completely different from the rest of its species.

"Call the Ghost Ring King over so I can take a look. I'll go prepare some new energy pills later," Liu Yao said.

"Little Treasure Hunter." Qiao Sang beckoned.

"Xun xun~" Little Treasure Hunter grinned and drifted over nimbly.

Liu Yao took out his equipment to begin the examination.

Little Treasure Hunter cooperated obediently.

Tang Yi watched this scene from the side, his mouth opening as if he had something to say but was holding back.

"What do you want to say?" Qiao Sang asked, noticing his expression.

"Why can your Ghost Ring Ghost evolve so quickly?" Tang Yi finally couldn't help but voice his confusion.

He didn't understand. Under normal circumstances, it was considered fast for a High-level pet to evolve into a General-level pet in a few years. But Qiao Sang's situation was truly magical; one Yan Yan Qilu wasn't enough, and now there was a Ghost Ring King, both evolving within a year.

It was even more absurd than a novel.

Hearing this, Liu Yao paused his movements, then pretended not to hear and continued the examination, though he pricked up his ears toward their side.

Qiao Sang coughed, organized her thoughts, and said:

"It's like this. When I went to the 19th District, I originally planned to go straight to a hotel near the Kotiya Volcano, but on the subway..."

As Qiao Sang recounted the story, Tang Yi and Liu Yao displayed a series of expressions ranging from shock to "how could this be" to "so that's why."

"I didn't expect you to encounter such a thing..." Tang Yi's expression was complex.

He tried to put himself in her shoes and felt that, let alone obtaining an emotional energy collection bottle, he probably wouldn't have even been able to bring a person out of the subway station...

Qiao Sang waved her hand: "It can be considered a blessing in disguise."

Liu Yao said with some concern: "Since the emotional energy that person could collect was enough to directly fill the energy in a High-level Ghost-type pet, they are definitely not a simple person. You must be careful."

Tang Yi nodded in agreement.

Qiao Sang smiled: "I'm not the same person I was back then. Now that Like Ya Bao and Little Treasure Hunter have both evolved into General-level, even if the other party comes looking for me, their strength might be stronger than I imagined, but isn't that why I have you, Vice Principal?"

Liu Yao was stunned for a moment, then straightened his expression: "You're right."

After chatting for a bit, Tang Yi took out his phone, snapped a photo of Little Treasure Hunter, stood up, and said: "It's getting late, I'll head off first."

Qiao Sang looked at him:

"Just sleep here tonight, there are plenty of rooms."

Indeed, it looked like there were plenty... Tang Yi didn't stand on ceremony and asked:

"Are there quilts and such? I don't have a pet like a Ghost Ring King that can carry these things around."

When he said the words "Ghost Ring King," his tone became involuntarily sour.

Look at how sour he is... Qiao Sang nodded: "Yes, there are."

An hour later, Qiao Sang finished washing up and lay down.

"Xun xun~"

Little Treasure Hunter drifted over, holding a laptop in its claws, and let out a sweet cry, asking if it could play all night.

You've already practiced your Dark Shadow Control to the peak of the profound meaning, and you still want to play on the computer all night? Qiao Sang put on a stern face, preparing to lecture it, but suddenly thought of something, her expression softened, and she smiled:

"You can, but tonight you can only use telekinesis to play on the computer, just like last night, and re-cast it every minute."

Little Treasure Hunter's telekinesis had also reached the profound meaning level, but it had been slow to reach the peak. If it were as diligent as it was last night and didn't slack off, it would probably reach the peak in a day or two.

"Xun xun!"

Upon hearing this, Little Treasure Hunter happily hugged the computer and drifted in a circle.

In the water tank in the room, Lubao watched the circling Little Treasure Hunter gloomily.

It couldn't understand...

It really couldn't understand...

Why could a guy as lazy as Little Treasure Hunter evolve so quickly...

Qiao Sang didn't know Lubao's mental state; she closed her eyes and her consciousness entered the Beast Taming Codex.

The page turned, quickly flipping to the page about Little Treasure Hunter.

Pressure?

Qiao Sang looked at Little Treasure Hunter's newest trait and was stunned, thinking to herself, could such a small physique awaken this trait?

She had learned about the Pressure trait; it basically appeared on the kings of the same species.

Generally speaking, there is always a leader-like existence in a group living together, and the so-called domineering aura is manifested in the leader.

Or some rare pets with high levels and large sizes.

Like Ya Bao didn't even get this trait when it evolved into a Yan Yan Qilu, yet Little Treasure Hunter actually did... Qiao Sang recalled Little Treasure Hunter's appearance after evolution and was silent for a long time.

Sure enough, pet traits are a profound science...

She shifted her gaze down, fixing it on the three new skills that appeared at the bottom.

Trick, a high-level Psychic-type skill, can seize the opponent's opening to swap held items between oneself and the opponent. When practiced to the later stages, it can be successfully cast even if one of the parties isn't holding an item, transferring the held item... Information about the skill flashed through Qiao Sang's mind, and she fell into deep thought.

A high-level Psychic-type skill, it sounds quite high-end, but unfortunately, in the competitions she wants to participate in later, pets aren't allowed to use items, so the usage rate of this skill isn't high... Qiao Sang thought while looking at the next skill.

When she saw the four characters "Dark Magic Shadow," the corners of her mouth couldn't help but twitch.

She now seriously suspected that Little Treasure Hunter had been thinking about this skill in its mind during the early stages of evolution, which was why it awakened Dark Magic Shadow during evolution...

Really, nothing practical... Qiao Sang complained in her heart and looked at the last skill.

Seal? Qiao Sang was stunned at first, then filled with joy.

Finally, a useful skill appeared!

Seal, a high-level Psychic-type skill. If the opponent has the same moves as oneself, casting this move can prevent the opponent from using any skill that the user has learned.

In other words, in the future, when encountering Ghost-type or Psychic-type opponents, they will mostly be crippled!

Especially Psychic-type pets!

Qiao Sang couldn't help but imagine it in her mind.

Little Treasure Hunter knows Teleport, the most common move for Psychic-type pets. If it encounters a Psychic-type pet and uses Seal first, the opponent's Teleport won't be usable for a short time.

A Psychic-type pet that can't teleport, tsk!

Qiao Sang's consciousness returned to reality, she closed her eyes, and brewed sleepiness in a great mood.

Not long after, she fell asleep.
