Beast Taming Patrol

Species Name: Xue Henqing

Species Rank: High-Elite Species

Attribute: Ice

Growth Stage: Juvenile Stage

Normal Energy Value: 183P

Talent Skills: Frost Storm (Core Skill), Snow Trace

The normal energy is dozens of times lower than that of the Green Feathered Eagle just now.

But Lin Su knew this was normal.

For elite species at the juvenile stage, if they don't use special resources to enhance themselves and rely solely on natural growth, their normal energy value is generally under 200. Qiuqiu's energy value is already quite impressive, which might relate to its frequent fights with the Fire Cloud Dog.

After a brief moment of confusion, Qiuqiu also realized what its Beast Tamer was doing. After all, when it was living in the breeding area, the breeders also used a similar device to monitor the growth of each pet monster.

"Mi! (￣ω￣)" (Let me see!)

It sat up from Lin Su's feet, wrapped its front legs around his calves, and before Lin Su could react, it climbed onto his shoulders like scaling a tree, settling down and curiously examining the text on the communicator with its ice-blue eyes.

However, after a little while, the little guy shook its head.

"Mi... mi! (´ω｀)" (I don't understand... Tell me, Lin Su!)

Lin Su chuckled, picked Qiuqiu off his shoulder, and held it in his arms. Pointing to the text on the communicator, he explained, "Look, this is your normal energy value, currently only 183 Bo Wa."

"...Mi? (⋟﹏⋞)" (...Is that a bit low?)

"No, it's already quite impressive. Once you reach the elite stage or a higher stage, your normal energy value will increase rapidly," Lin Su consoled Qiuqiu, "And this here introduces your Talent Skills, Frost Storm and Snow Trace."

"Mi! Mi! (￣ω￣)ฅ" (I know this one! I'll blow one for you right now!)

After saying this, Qiuqiu opened its mouth, and frost began to gather inside.

Damn!

Lin Su quickly interrupted the little guy as it was about to release Frost Storm, nervously looked around to make sure no one noticed them, and then heaved a sigh of relief.

This was the main hall of the Beast Tamer Association, and if Frost Storm caused any damage here, he definitely couldn't afford to pay for it.

"No rush. We still have plenty of time today. We're going to rent a training ground here shortly. You can show off your skills on the proper field then. You can't just unleash an attack skill like Frost Storm whenever you like," Lin Su said with a laugh and quickly explained.

"Mi~" (Okay~)

Soon, Lin Su started setting up the Beast Tamer Codex, designating Qiuqiu as a contract pet monster.

Once set as a contract pet monster, the Beast Tamer can manually add the teaching skills the pet monster has mastered to the codex in the guide, making it easier to better monitor the pet's growth status. Information related to teaching skills is only visible to the user.

After finishing the setup, Lin Su went straight to the front desk without lingering in the hall and requested to rent a beginner-level Ice and Snow training ground; having recorded the details, he headed towards the training ground with Qiuqiu.

Soon, the duo arrived at a synthetic snowfield, spanning an area as large as several football fields. The ground was covered with a half-meter thickness of snow, and stepping into it would bury Lin Su's calves.

The field was not for Lin Su's use alone. Not far away, several Beast Tamers were training their ice-based pet monsters, and further away, there were even more people.

If one wanted to train alone, they would need to access a higher-level training ground, which would be more expensive. Considering that it was his first time bringing Qiuqiu for training, Lin Su decided to start with the most basic training ground to see how it goes.

This type of training ground is charged hourly, with a rate of twenty Alliance coins per hour.

For Qiuqiu, entering such a snowfield felt like coming home. It yelped with delight and then dashed in without hesitation, quickly circling around Lin Su with a light trot.

Ice patterns naturally appeared under Qiuqiu's feet, and as it deliberately used Snow Trace, what would have been deep footprints in the snow became much shallower, leaving behind only plum-shaped marks with each step.

This skill, which made the body lighter in icy and snowy environments to enhance speed and agility, was still at level I for Qiuqiu. Once Snow Trace reached level II, it would leave no trace in the snow, not leaving a single footprint on the snowy ground.

By reaching level III, Snow Trace would undergo a qualitative change, even allowing Qiuqiu to soar into the air by stepping on floating snowflakes. As for level IV, Lin Su had never heard of any Xue Henqing reaching that level with Snow Trace.

Watching Qiuqiu's delighted antics, Lin Su's expression became a bit more serious, "Qiuqiu, it's time to start training now."

Hearing this, Qiuqiu, who was frolicking in the snow, obediently trotted back and sat in front of Lin Su.

"Mi! Mi! ฅ(*´ω`*)ฅ" (Training! Beat up Fire Cloud Dog!)

Poor Fire Cloud Dog...

Lin Su's face twitched, and he coughed lightly, "We'll train for three hours today and see how it goes. I have three requirements for you."

Seeing Qiuqiu with a serious look of attentiveness, Lin Su spoke again, "First, during these three hours, you must continuously maintain Snow Trace."

`Mi~(´ω｀)` (Easy peasy~)

This skill didn't consume much of Qiuqiu's energy, and many wild Xue Henqing could even use Snow Trace all day. For Qiuqiu, three hours was definitely not a problem.
