“A trainer’s equipment that can grow?” Fang Yuan asked curiously. He had wanted to ask his teacher why his clothes were diamond low-grade just now.
Huang Ying looked at Fang Yuan’s clothes and could roughly tell the grade, he said, “You might be curious about how your grades are divided. Actually, this is related to the highest grade of your pet beast. You now have a diamond intermediate-grade pet beast, so your clothes have grown to be diamond intermediate-grade. It’s as simple as that.”
“However, I remember that when I watched your competition in the selection hall, you used a platinum pinnacle vine lizard. In less than three weeks, you actually had a diamond intermediate-grade pet. It really surprised me,” Huang Ying said with a smile. “Did you use the upgrade pill? Although that thing is good, it’s better to use it sparingly.”
The two of them were sitting on their respective mounts and flying leisurely in the air. Their destination was a grassland in the distance, which was the exclusive training base of the Huang group.
“Why should I use less upgrade pills?” Fang Yuan also felt that the upgrade pills were not suitable for long-term use. It was mainly because Fang Yuan understood the rules of evolution. The upgrade pills were incomplete evolution, so he would use less of them wherever possible.
However, Huang Ying had thought that the upgrade pills were used to encourage growth, which rightfully should be done through combat and reasonable training, so that the pet could gradually upgrade to a strength that was suitable for it before completing the upgrade.
In fact, their thoughts were rather similar, but Huang Ying’s was obviously more idealistic, like a perfectionist.
“This grassland is called the wise man’s grassland.” Landing on the grassland, Huang Ying introduced to Fang Yuan. “In the outside world, do you feel that it is too difficult for the pet beast to level up? No matter how many wild pet beasts you kill, the final level will remain at level five upper-tier.”
“Eh.” Fang Yuan was actually embarrassed. Due to the 100 times increase, many of his pet beasts were above this level. However, since Huang Ying had said so, he still had to give him face. “Yes.”
“It was because the battle experience of the pet beast has nothing to do with the number of opponents he kills. It’s all based on comprehension. In general, when pet beasts at the same level fight, it’s very difficult for them to gain new battle comprehension once they have reached level five upper-tier.” Huang Ying gestured for Fang Yuan to follow him, and explained as he walked. “This is the reason why many human pet beasts can not level up.”
So that was the case.
Fang Yuan really did not know about this. He thought that he would gain experience points after killing the pet beast. In the early stages, there was indeed such a notification. It was actually due to the pet beast itself had gained battle insights that it would give people the experience points gained from killing the pet beast. No wonder the level of the pet beasts in the underground colosseum were so high. It was actually they mainly relied on killing monsters above their level.
Huang Ying had not finished talking, he said, “But it’s different in our arcane realm.”
There was a mandrake grassland in front of Fang Yuan.
[ Scientific name: Mandrake Grass ]
[ Bloodline: None ]
[ Rarity: Platinum intermediate ]
[ Level: Level 15 upper-tier ]
[ Attributes: Grass ]
[ Positioning: attack, support ]
What was this?
Looking at the information that Huang Ying had sent him, Fang Yuan asked curiously.
“The mandrake grass is an extremely dangerous creature. It will disguise itself as grass and then lure the herbivorous pet beasts over. Then, it will hunt the creatures. Isn’t it rare to hear about plants that eat animals?” Huang Ying said with a smile. The mandrake grass seemed to have noticed them and surrounded them aggressively.
“The reason why they are dangerous is because they are plants. Their reproduction ability is way much higher than other pet beasts. Therefore, even if I don’t like killing, I have to admit that it’s extremely necessary to clean up a piece of mandrake grass every once in a while.” After saying that, Huang Ying summoned his phoenix and launched a lightning attack at the mandrake in front of him. In an instant, they became ashes.
Then, on the remains of the mandrake, small balls similar to fruits appeared.
Huang Ying hinted Fang Yuan to pick up a small ball.
[ Ding. Experience fruit (small) detected. Grade: Platinum Intermediate. ]
[ Do you want to proceed with 100 times increase? ]
[ Host can choose from the following ways for the increase. ]
[ First, give up the 100 times increase, and obtain a platinum intermediate experience fruit (small) ]
[ Second, proceed with 100 times increase in quality, and obtain a platinum high-grade experience fruit (small). ]
[ Third, proceed with 100 times increase, and obtain a platinum intermediate-grade experience fruit (large) .]
Upon checking the attributes:
Platinum intermediate-grade experience fruit (small) : Increased pet beat’s battle comprehension by 1,000 points
Platinum high-grade experience fruit (small) : Increased pet’s battle comprehension by 2,000 points
Platinum intermediate-grade experience fruit (large) : Increased pet’s battle comprehension by 1,500 points
After comparing, of course, he chose the second option.
“Give it to your pet beast.”
Fang Yuan nodded and summoned the spirit healing bee queen which level was still at level-three-low tier, and was not good at fighting. After consuming the fruit, its level had indeed increased to level-three-intermediate-tier .
“Today your first training event is to kill all the mandrake grass within five kilometers. But you must pay attention that you are not allowed to burn the grassland. Try not to use fire-type skills, especially the ones that burn continuously.” Huang Ying paused and continued, “Also, if you encounter the little mandrake grass, try not to kill it. Although the grass is excessive, we are not qualified to exterminate it completely.”
“Teacher, just relying on our strength alone to exterminate a species, that is over exaggerated.” Fang Yuan said. He did not really like the benevolent way of dealing with it.
“I know you will think that I’m overdoing it, but please believe me. There’s a reason for me to tell you to do this.” Huang Ying looked at Fang Yuan with a sincere gaze.
“Alright.” Fang Yuan was not a person who killed innocents indiscriminately. All he wanted was to increase his experience.
Speaking of which, Huang Ying’s gaze was something he had seen on the face of the chestnut ball trainer in the thunder arcane realm...
Were pet beasts really capable of thinking and could even reach the level of humans?
Other people might not be able to answer this question, but Fang Yuan understood it. That was because the lotus giant lizard in his hand was an erudite existence in the human world.
Now was not the time to think about these things. Fang Yuan shook his head and looked at the mandrake grass that filled the grassland. They were surrounding Fang Yuan like hunters surrounding their prey.
It was just that they did not think clearly who the hunter was and who the prey was.
If it was just a wild pet beast, then...
“Come out! Gryphon Legion!”
The Gryphon Legion, led by Xiao Yin, appeared in the sky one after another.
The mandrakes, which had always been impatient, were just about to pounce on Fang Yuan when they were fiercely bitten by Xiao Jin and be thrown to the side.
Fang Yuan sat on the gryphon and began the hunting feast.
Huang Ying, on the other hand, watched everything silently from a even higher place.
