Chapter 494: Chapter 301: Life or Death, It’s All on This One Strike

Having finished making dinner, Su Mao whistled as he dished the food onto plates. He called out as usual, but no one answered.

"Where are Xiaoshu, Yu Bao, and the others?"

"Xiaoshu is watching a match analysis. The three treasures are all training, too. Let’s eat first and not disturb them."

"Still training?" Su Mao, a little worried, tiptoed to the study door, his movements light for fear of disturbing Su Zhi.

He peeked his head in cautiously, only to find that his worry was completely unnecessary.

Su Zhi was sitting in front of his computer, staring intently at a match recording. The computer was in split-screen mode; on the other side was a blank notepad, which was currently scrolling down continuously as Su Zhi typed.

The match recording was playing at normal speed, without slow motion. To Su Mao, it was just a blurry flurry of motion... but in Su Zhi’s eyes, the footage was exceptionally clear. The enhancements from being a Tier Five Beast Tamer gave him more than enough dynamic vision.

As Su Zhi watched, he recorded his thoughts and questions on the side. These were all points to be discussed with Liu Junpo the next day.

Su Mao’s expression was one of pure shock.

Because his thoughts were flowing so smoothly, Su Zhi’s typing was incredibly fast. Even on the day Su Mao had furiously churned out thirty thousand characters, he hadn’t been this fast...

Although he knew it was partly because Beast Tamers had faster reflexes than ordinary people, Su Mao still felt a pang of jealousy seeing such effortless typing.

’Dammit, why is someone who doesn’t even write web novels faster at typing than a professional web novelist like me!’

At the same time, though, he felt an even greater sense of pride.

Su Mao recognized this state. He’d had that same look in his eyes back in the day, when he was still "Five-a-Day Mao."

It was the state one entered only when completely immersed in something they loved, pushing the body to its peak state of excitement.

Su Mao’s gaze shifted to the window outside, where the three treasures were also training individually.

The community worker, Mr. Wu Enxiang, had paid them a home visit a few days ago. He had tactfully mentioned the damage caused by Shan Bao and Xue Li the previous night and expressed his hope that Su Zhi would take it easy with the training.

After all, his Pet Beast was just a weak, pitiful little Red Pine Horse. Its ability to repair the environment was limited, and a few thousand a month wasn’t easy for anyone to earn...

So, under Su Zhi’s specific instructions, the three treasures had toned down their training a bit.

Right now, Yu Bao was near the lawn practicing some of its Skills, occasionally coming up with new tricks through sheer force of "what if...?" While most of them were duds, thinking hard enough would always produce one or two bright spots.

For example, based on the characteristics of its three Attributes, Yu Bao had developed a new DIY method:

First, it used Earth Element Energy to create a mold. Then, it used the Fire Element to melt metal at high temperatures and pour it into the mold. Finally, it let it set!

Using this method, Yu Bao had made several lifelike figurines. There was even one sitting on Su Mao’s desk.

Yu Bao had also made a horse sculpture to give to Mr. Wu Enxiang, as a bribe... er, no, for social purposes.

Although the effect of this technique was still very limited, with time, it might just become an unexpected key variable that could turn the tide of battle!

The next was Shan Bao.

After losing its match against Xue Li, Shan Bao had set a new goal for its next phase of training: strengthening its flight stability while in the Super Heavy Gold Fall state.

At this moment, Shan Bao was practicing Gold Vein Overload, a Low Level Commander Skill of the Gold Element.

The effect of this Skill was somewhat similar to Yu Bao’s Thick Earth Golden Might; in essence, it also involved activating the Gold Element within the body.

However, unlike Yu Bao’s indiscriminate activation, Gold Vein Overload was a directional Attribute activation.

Strong particles of Gold Attribute Energy, ejected in a specific direction, could provide powerful thrust, just like a rocket engine. If used properly, this move could provide the power for both flight and stability for Shan Bao while in its Super Heavy Gold Fall state!

Of course, the ideal was one thing, but reality was another.

This was because Gold Vein Overload wasn’t actually a Skill designed for Flying Pet Beasts. On the contrary, it was often mastered by heavy Gold Element Pet Beasts to give them the explosive power needed to overcome certain obstacles.

Trying to use this move to assist with flight wasn’t exactly a pipe dream, but it was certainly a bit far-fetched.

After all, it was easy for a Pet Beast to imagine mustering its strength to leap over an obstacle—that was everyday experience. But flying by relying on jet propulsion like a rocket? Who had ever experienced that? If you’ve never experienced it, how can you imagine it...

But surprisingly, Shan Bao managed to do it.

Because back in the Secret Realm, Yu Bao had used it as a projectile for a Super Electromagnetic Cannon. Shan Bao still had a vivid memory of that feeling of being launched...

Of course, it wasn’t that smooth.

Perhaps because of that experience, when Shan Bao used Gold Vein Overload, it tended to shoot forward in a straight line like a cannonball. It couldn’t turn or slow down, and it had crashed dozens of times in a single night...

But it wasn’t a big deal. It was headstrong, after all.

Every beginning is hard, and it had already had a hard beginning... right on its head. After a few more crashes... no, a few more practice runs, it would master the Skill sooner or later!

Wu Bao’s style was just as bizarre.

Ever since it decided to follow the agility route, a Black Fighting Emperor had started darting all over the residential complex.

Unsuspecting onlookers initially thought it was a paranormal event, even creating an urban legend about a "black phantom." It wasn’t until they asked the community worker that they found out it was just Su Zhi’s Pet Beast.

You couldn’t blame them; who had ever seen a Black Fighting Emperor that could move so fast...

Although it was only in the early stages of allocating its points to agility, Wu Bao already had its own distinct style.

Actually, Yu Bao had also put points into agility at the beginning, before later switching to the Intelligence and Perception-based Control Flow route.

But the two Pet Beasts’ styles were actually very different.

Unlike Yu Bao’s speed—a traceless swiftness granted by Desert Concealment—Wu Bao’s speed manifested as the nimble agility of a startled rabbit.
