Qiao Sang calmly analyzed the data.
It was normal for some pet evolution attributes to change or for new attributes to appear.
The most exaggerated examples were the Evergreen Worm, the Bamboo Flower Snake, and the Little Leap Fish.
These three pets were incredibly weak in the early stages, but they possessed the potential to transform into dragons.
However, the Evergreen Worm and Bamboo Flower Snake had to evolve to the Emperor grade first. Any Beast Tamer capable of nurturing a pet to the Emperor grade wouldn't bother contracting these two.
Wouldn't it be better to just spend money and buy a Dragon-type pet directly? Why waste so much effort?
Compared to the first two, the Little Leap Fish only needed to evolve into a High-grade pet to acquire the Dragon attribute.
The League had even given it a very domineering name: the Water Tyrant Dragon.
But it was a mistake to simply indulge in the dream of "a fish leaping over the dragon gate."
When the League first announced that the Little Leap Fish could evolve into a Water Tyrant Dragon, the market price of the Little Leap Fish jumped directly from 6,000 League coins to 600,000 League coins.
Even so, the Little Leap Fish was sold out instantly at the time, with demand far exceeding supply.
After all, compared to buying a Dragon-type pet directly, this price was simply too cheap.
Who doesn't dream of contracting a Dragon-type pet these days?
The Little Leap Fish gave them hope.
Unfortunately, the dream didn't last. According to statistics, among ten million Beast Tamers who bought Little Leap Fish in that batch, only one person successfully nurtured a Water Tyrant Dragon; the odds were comparable to winning the lottery.
Consequently, the price of the Little Leap Fish quickly dropped back down.
Qiao Sang hadn't expected Ya Bao to evolve into an unknown new form and gain the Psychic type, but she wasn't surprised upon finding out.
With a golden finger, Ya Bao could learn high-tier skills during the primary stage, and she had even encountered a pet like Little Treasure Hunter, which possessed both the rare Ghost and Psychic attributes. What was impossible?
However...
Qiao Sang's expression froze as her gaze landed on the top of the data.
Why was the name of Ya Bao's evolved form displayed here?
Had a Flame Listening Hound already appeared within the League?
Impossible. If that were the case, the League would definitely have announced it.
Qiao Sang pondered for a moment and thought of a possibility.
Was it possible that Flame Listening Hounds existed on other planets and the League simply didn't know?
If that were true, this golden finger was absolutely more powerful than she had imagined.
Thinking of this, Qiao Sang stopped dwelling on the matter.
What she needed to do right now was raise her academic scores and win the preferential college entrance policy from the Litan Beast Taming High School. Other planets were far too distant for her.
Qiao Sang continued reading.
One more characteristic had been added, but it required the opponent to launch a close-quarters attack first before her body temperature would rise, emitting flames to burn the opponent.
To put it bluntly, it was a characteristic where she had to take a beating first before the flames on her body could touch the opponent, creating a certain chance to inflict a burn status.
*Why are Fire-type pet characteristics all so miserable...* Qiao Sang couldn't help but complain.
Looking further down.
Three new skills.
She knew about Telekinesis.
Void Flame was a colorless fire. Its power seemed unchanged from the original flames, but the fact that it was invisible was definitely a huge advantage in battle.
However, experienced professional Beast Tamers would notice the distortion in space around the Void Flame and take precautions.
The League's ranking for Void Flame seemed to be a high-tier skill.
If Ya Bao hadn't already learned Meteor Rain, she might have been excited.
But since Ya Bao had learned a high-tier skill during the primary stage, she didn't feel much now that she had another high-tier skill upon evolving to the intermediate stage.
Qiao Sang shifted her gaze to the final skill.
Tactile Perception.
What was this...
Qiao Sang felt a bit embarrassed. She knew the common skills; even if she hadn't read the textbooks, she could generally figure out most skills by watching matches and listening to the commentators.
But she didn't know Tactile Perception...
Qiao Sang soon formed a guess: this probably wasn't a combat-oriented skill.
As for exactly what it was and what it did, she would have to look it up online.
Qiao Sang scanned the Beast Encyclopedia one more time before her consciousness returned to reality.
She was very satisfied with her performance this time.
Composed and calm.
She hadn't acted foolishly when faced with Ya Bao's new evolution, and she remained steady after learning about the addition of the Psychic type.
Qiao Sang felt that her psychological resilience had improved significantly over the past month. In the future, she felt she could remain poised and maintain a normal demeanor regardless of the situation.
Then, the very next second, she was slapped in the face.
"Holy crap!" Qiao Sang nearly had a heart attack as she saw Little Treasure Hunter just millimeters away from her face.
"Xun!"
Startled, Little Treasure Hunter teleported onto its Beast Tamer's head, grabbing two clumps of hair with its claws and looking around frantically.
"Ya!"
Ya Bao also looked around alertly.
"It's okay, it's okay," Qiao Sang said quickly.
Being scared by her own pets was simply too embarrassing. But she couldn't blame herself; she guaranteed that anyone who opened their eyes to see a head that close would be frightened.
"Xun."
Realizing what happened, Little Treasure Hunter's gaze drifted, looking guilty.
Her Beast Tamer was just too timid; it couldn't be blamed.
"Little Treasure, you can let go of my hair now..."
"Xun."
Little Treasure Hunter awkwardly released its claws.
With the commotion, it forgot to mention its desire to evolve.
Now that the pain in her scalp was gone, Qiao Sang could finally think about what to do next.
Ya Bao was too large now. Compared to other high schools, the dorms might not be small.
But the room assigned to her was actually only about eight square meters. With the bed and the cabinet, there was practically no activity space.
She had to find a way to move outside...
But for now, that seemed impossible...
Qiao Sang suddenly thought of something and said excitedly, "Ya Bao, you have Telekinesis now. Can you make yourself float like Little Treasure?"
"Ya?"
Ya Bao tilted its head.
Telekinesis?
Floating?
Like the thing they usually played with?
Could it float without using its underlings?
Since its Beast Tamer said so, it couldn't be wrong.
Ya Bao felt the energy within its body.
The next second.
*Bang!*
Because there was too much energy and the Telekinesis was too strong, Ya Bao slammed directly into the ceiling.
"Ya Bao, are you okay?" Qiao Sang almost couldn't bear to look.
Ya Bao didn't fall as Qiao Sang expected; instead, it stayed pinned to the ceiling, barking excitedly.
"Ya!"
"Ya ya!"
"Ya ya!"
It flew! It could fly too!
Soon, Ya Bao began adjusting the energy in its body, attempting to control its ascent height.
"Xun!"
Little Treasure Hunter watched this scene in amazement.
It floated over to Ya Bao, circling around it continuously.
How magical!
The appearance changed and the abilities changed; was this evolution?
Ya Bao's innate talent was high to begin with, and after learning Meteor Rain, its control over internal energy had reached a certain level. After a few tries, it could use Telekinesis with ease.
Qiao Sang nodded to herself as she watched Ya Bao floating back and forth above the room using Telekinesis.
She really was a genius to think of letting Ya Bao use Telekinesis to move around the upper part of the room.
This way, although the activity space was still small, there was at least some, and it could directly practice the release of Telekinesis.
