“Minky, Spirit Transformation, Thunder Explosion.”
The sudden reversal of the situation caught Avery Nelly off guard. Biting her plump, red lips, she continued to issue commands, attempting a last-ditch effort.
“Finish it with Cold Breath.”
Watching the Thunder Mink plummet from the sky, David Jones directed.
Rainbow immediately inhaled deeply, and the blue-white ball brewing in its mouth transformed into a bone-chilling energy beam surging towards the
Thunder Mink.
At the same time, as if sensing the Trainer’s will, the Thunder Mink burst forth, using Spirit Transformation directly.
The Spirit Transformation skill could significantly increase its electric power and drastically reduce the time it needed to charge other electric skills.
It seemed that it was already too late. Seeing that it was only a few seconds away from hitting the ground, the Thunder Mink’s eyes dimmed slightly.
But it never gave up, exhausting all its strength, attempting to unleash its final
Thunder Explosion.
At that moment, the Thunder Mink’s tiny body appeared exceptionally mighty while brewing the Thunder Explosion skill. Its fur stood up like needles in the horrifying electric currents swirling around it.
As an upgraded version of Electric Shock, Thunder Explosion was incredibly powerful. Its only drawback was that it took a long time to charge, leading to low accuracy.
Unfortunately, the cold blue frost hit the Thunder Mink still accumulating electricity in the air within the blink of an eye.
Accompanied by a few crisp cracks.
A massive hailstorm was instantly whipped up on the Duel Platform.
Watching the Thunder Mink fall to the ground in the vast frost, David Jones revealed a confident smile and then used his Identify skill.
“Pet Name”: Thunder Mink
“Pet Type”: Electric
“Species Level”: Green Superior
“Grade”: Fresh Level X
“Species Skill”: Thunder Flash, Thunder Explosion, Electric Shock, Electric
Manipulation, Thunder Roar, Spirit Transformation
“Profile”: The fur of the Thunder Mink occasionally emits weak electric currents. Thunder Minks living in the wild are usually solitary, small in size, and extremely fast. This Beast has a unique preference, especially enjoying catching fish in rivers and lakes with Electric Shock. Thus, it often gets attacked by aquatic Beasts.
The Thunder Mink was so fast during the battle that David Jones could only now take a closer look at the details of this Pet in front of him.
■’So many electric skills!” David Jones marveled in his heart.
He vaguely remembered that in their Trainer Class 2, there was also a girl who had a Thunder Mink.
But her Pet only had a strength of Fresh Level VI and could only use the two species skills, Thunder Flash and Electric Shock.
“Victory is decided!”
With a shake of his head, the referee, who still seemed somewhat dazed, finally opened his mouth to speak. His heart was full of shock at this moment.
“Yiya!”([]~Cv—)~* (Almost lost!)
Looking at the exhausted Thunder Mink, Rainbow let out a pleased, melodious chirp as it turned its head to look at David Jones. Blinking its watery, big eyes, it seemed to show off its battle achievements.
“What a hearty battle.”
It seemed as if Avery Nelly was reminiscing, licking her red lips, speaking in a somewhat hoarse voice.
She then trotted over, picked up the frost-covered Thunder Mink, and took it to the infirmary near the Duel Platform for treatment.
“Hello, let’s meet again. My name is Avery Nelly, and I am a Trainer Class graduate from Waterland High School, class of ’16.”
Outside the infirmary, facing the enthusiastic Avery Nelly in front of him, David Jones felt somewhat at a loss.
-Hello, senior. My name is David Jones, and I’m a prospective student for
Waterland High School’s Trainer class.”
■■You’re really strong. Especially your Coldjade Snake, it’s cultivated to a ridiculous extent. I didn’t think I’d lose to a junior!
Avery Nelly’s cheeks flushed slightly, her crystal-clear eyes fixed on David Jones, her tone full of admiration.
“Thank you,” David Jones replied politely.
“We still have plenty of time. Once my Minky is in better shape, we can have another battle.”
Sitting next to him, Avery Nelly glanced at the time on her watch and excitedly smiled at him.
Her eyes curved like crescent moons, her long eyelashes trembling slightly. Anyone who saw her couldn’t help but feel some tenderness towards her. “Sure, my Coldjade Snake needs a break as well.” David Jones stroked his tired Rainbow and agreed.
“Junior, even if it’s a bit early to give advice, I want to remind you of something.”
Avery Nelly stared at the Rainbow in David Jones’ hands, her eyes sparkling with affection, her voice hesitant.
“During a pet’s Fresh stage, they gradually master their awakened abilities. It’s best not to use elixirs to increase their strength during this process, especially when your pet reaches Fresh Level X!”
Seeing the long term, she spent half a year solidifying Minky’s foundations after it reached Fresh Level X, in order to pave the way for a stronger future.
“I know. Besides providing the resources necessary for its daily cultivation, I hardly use any elixirs to increase its strength.”
David Jones was taken aback by her words, somewhat touched, but he could feel the sincerity of her intentions.
“is that so? It’s incredible. Your Coldjade Snake must have exceptional talent.” Avery Nelly said with a mix of belief and doubt.
Seeing this, David Jones simply nodded, without saying much. He knew actions spoke louder than words.
As for whether others believed him or not, it wasn’t something he was concerned about.
The Fresh stage is a crucial time for a pet to build a strong foundation. The higher the species level, the longer the Fresh stage will be.
For example, powerful beasts like the Phoenix, Giant Dragon, Nine-Tailed Fox, Golden-winged Roc, and Gluttonous Beast – some legendary Emperor species are said to have a Fresh stage even longer than an ordinary human’s entire life, in contrast, lower species levels have shorter Fresh stages and lower awakening levels.
Low-grade pets like the Crimson Scarlet Parrot, Greenelm Turtle, and Tiger-striped Poison Bee have short lifespans, with an average strength of only Fresh Level V.
Most Tiger-striped Poison Bees will not be able to break through to Class I in their lifetime!
However, the average Crimson Scarlet Parrot can break through to Class I within three months of its Fresh stage, although it will also become the weakest class I.
The Fresh stage is also the best time for pets to learn skills and increase their attack range, even mastering skills that have nothing to do with their own types.
Furthermore, when a pet reaches Fresh Level X, they can more easily comprehend and master their own type changes, which will greatly benefit their future evolution.
It was precisely because David Jones knew the importance of a pet’s Fresh stage that he didn’t use the Dragon Crystal he had prepared for Rainbow.
After all, Rainbow’s promotion speed was already astonishing to him.
If she were to break through to Class I prematurely due to the Dragon Crystal, David Jones guessed he would be extremely heartbroken.
“Senior, how did you end up being a sparring partner here?” David Jones changed the subject, curious.
“Of course, it’s because I’m interested. I really like pet battles.” Avery Nelly’s straightforward voice rang in David Jones’ ears.
“And my time here as a sparring partner is running out. Next month, I’ll be reporting to Thundurus Academy!”
“Thundurus Academy?!!”
David Jones looked at Avery Nelly in surprise..
