Chapter 19: Success and Unexpected Joy!

Ribbit Frog seriously recalled,

Two attacks, the movements were almost identical,

If speaking of the greatest difference, it was that the second time myself did not trigger that profoundly mysterious slow-motion state,

Perhaps this is the reason for the failure.

As long as one can enter that state of highly focused spirit again, perhaps one can successfully master this special force exertion technique.

Mind had some realization,

Ribbit Frog immediately used the juggling technique again, swooping down toward the Small Arrow Bird,

The Small Arrow Bird cautiously dodged sideways again, and Ribbit Frog's attack missed again,

The attack struck a boulder, still only chipping a corner,

Still not working?

Gradually, Ribbit Frog's mood became increasingly irritable,

Repeated failures let the Small Arrow Bird regain confidence, and it began to tease Ribbit Frog,

And the continuous attacks not only failed to improve Ribbit Frog, but made its efficiency even lower,

Although Ash didn't know what Ribbit Frog was thinking, from his observation,

Ribbit Frog's state was clearly off,

The mindset had become unbalanced and needed intervention,

"Stop! Ribbit Frog, calm down!"

Ribbit Frog remained unmoved,

Waveguide Power!

Ash used the waveguide to connect with Ribbit Frog's waveguide, generating resonance,

This finally let Ribbit Frog calm down for a moment,

Turning its head, it exchanged a glance with Ash,

Just one glance, seeing and feeling from the waveguide Ash's sincere concern and worry……

This let Ribbit Frog's agitated mind slow considerably,

"Ribbit Frog, becoming stronger doesn't need to be rushed; you are already far stronger than before,

Now listen to me, close your eyes, discard those distracting thoughts,

Once again focus and use the juggling technique! Feel each skill release attentively, summarizing the experience of failure,

You will surely succeed."

Following Ash's guidance, Ribbit Frog's vexed emotions gradually calmed,

Closed its eyes,

When it opened its eyes again, Ribbit Frog had no distracting thoughts left at all,

Its slit pupils suddenly dilated, its gaze became extremely sharp, its aura as keen as a peerless divine sword about to be unsheathed!

Indeed,

This is that profoundly mysterious feeling of time slowing down and being omnipotent,

The key lies in highly focusing the spirit and discarding distracting thoughts,

With Ash's help, Ribbit Frog finally entered again this state of wholehearted focus, a mind devoid of any distracting thoughts.

The next instant,

Ribbit Frog's legs suddenly exerted force,

Like a blue bolt of lightning, it shot straight at the Small Arrow Bird in the air!

The Small Arrow Bird, already prepared, flapped its wings quickly to dodge,

Relying on the relatively far distance between them and its flexible, variable flight path,

The Small Arrow Bird narrowly avoided Ribbit Frog's attack.

But what is gratifying is,

Although this attack failed, it also succeeded.

As Ribbit Frog's attack struck the surface of the large boulder below,

Boom—

A tremendous sound rang out, the boulder fully 5 meters wide and over 3 meters thick split directly apart.

Unfortunately, or rather fortunately,

The Small Arrow Bird's alertness is very high, causing Ribbit Frog's attempt to take it down with such a straightforward attack to be somewhat unrealistic.

But at the same time, after Ash tames it, he no longer needs to worry about its alertness.

Ash's voice rang out, "Again!"

Having tasted success, Ribbit Frog had no hesitation,

"Ribbit!"

At the same time as responding, Ribbit Frog's body again shot up like a blue bolt of lightning,

Boom—rumble!

The attack missed again, but the juggling skill's doubling effect was triggered once more.

With Ash occasionally throwing out flight energy blocks to give Ribbit Frog support,

As the battle continued,

Ash also made a rough estimate of Ribbit Frog's current strength,

The juggling special force exertion technique is basically mastered, with a success rate in actual combat of about 40%.

While Ash was giving his assessment.

The little arrow sparrow repeatedly confirmed, relying on its own speed, and adding its agile, unpredictable flight trajectory,

Even though the ribbit bubble frog had tremendous explosive power, it still couldn't hit itself,

Thus it became even bolder and more reckless.

Besides using long-range skills like Whirlwind Blade to attack the ribbit bubble frog,

It even dared to use Flash of Lightning, peck attacks, and close-range teasing of the ribbit bubble frog.

This gave the ribbit bubble frog an opportunity to practice its body technique and footwork.

Initially suppressed by level, the ribbit bubble frog was at one point made quite embarrassed by the little arrow sparrow.

But as time passed,

The ribbit bubble frog gained a certain understanding of the little arrow sparrow's attack patterns and behavioral logic,

Anticipating, combined with its own excellent speed, it found dealing with them increasingly easy.

It even, while dodging a peck attack from the little arrow sparrow at the same time,

Turned around and fired a solid water ball at the little arrow sparrow that had its back turned.

"Water Wave?!"

This is not a skill the ribbit bubble frog already mastered; it is a new skill it just grasped in battle.

Ash showed a look of delight,

Although using it for the first time was somewhat unfamiliar,

Yet thanks to the sudden change, it successfully hit the little arrow sparrow.

After that,

The little arrow sparrow then became cautious again, no longer approaching the ribbit bubble frog.

It even increased its speed ability by using high-speed movement.

And when the ribbit bubble frog attempted to counterattack, it used Shadow Clone to confuse the ribbit bubble frog.

But what he didn't expect was that the ribbit bubble frog had mastered Waveguide,

Especially with Ash's help, the ribbit bubble frog's use of Waveguide Power had been strengthened to a degree,

Easily determining the true body's position,

As the Shadow Clone was easily dispelled by the ribbit bubble frog,

This skill used to confuse the ribbit bubble frog not only failed to help the little arrow sparrow, but instead gave the ribbit bubble frog an opportunity,

Dealing a heavy blow to the little arrow sparrow.

In the prolonged battle, occasionally being hit once or twice by the ribbit bubble frog, fatigue and loss of stamina,

Plus his speed was fast, but the ribbit bubble frog's speed was equally fast,

Just exchanging skills, they could not overcome each other at all,

Causing the little arrow sparrow's fighting spirit to gradually wane,

This was something that should have happened long ago,

If Ash had not been constantly throwing Energy Blocks to feed,

And he often accidentally threw them off course, sending part of them over to his side, where he intercepted them,

The little arrow sparrow would have likely flown away from exhaustion long ago.

Now like this, it's pretty much at its limit,

Flapping its wings, the little arrow sparrow is about to leave.

Ash keenly noticed the little arrow sparrow had lost its will to fight and was preparing to leave,

Ash understood it was time to end this battle.

Not defeating the little arrow sparrow all this time is not because he and the ribbit bubble frog are incapable,

If he truly subdued the little arrow sparrow and arranged for two spirits to train against each other, complacency would inevitably arise, and the effect would be far worse than this,

Ash naturally does not want to waste such an excellent training opportunity,

As for Ash and the ribbit bubble frog's killing move?

Naturally, it is the Waveguide Bullet that can change direction with the Waveguide, a skill that never misses even in reality!

Blue energy suddenly appeared on the surface, a powerful Waveguide Fish pierced through and connected with the ribbit bubble frog's Waveguide,

"Ribbit bubble frog! Waveguide Bullet!"

Once again feeling abundant Waveguide filling the whole body,

Even without Ash speaking, the ribbit bubble frog can sense Ash's emotions.

Hands placed on the waist, a blue Waveguide Bullet quickly condensed,

The violent energy pressure caused the little arrow sparrow, which was flying away, to startle and look back,

And there's a master?!

Interesting, but it's too late; he has already flown nearly a kilometer away,

Moreover, with high-speed movement boosting, his speed grade has increased to +6,

As long as he wants, he can easily dodge the ribbit bubble frog's attacks.

The ribbit bubble frog likewise realizes the little arrow sparrow is rapidly flying away,

Therefore it did not seek to maximize power,

When condensing the Waveguide Bullet to about the size of a basketball,

The ribbit bubble frog then releases it,

Whoosh!

The blue waveguide bullet shot straight toward the horizon,

The little arrow sparrow that had been constantly looking back to observe the movements behind suddenly changed direction, dodging the waveguide bullet's pursuit,

Just that?

You still think you can hit me with such an obvious attack?!
