“Ding-ding.” The oven’s alert sounded from the kitchen.
Hearing the sound, Rainbow and Daphne instantly turned their heads towards the kitchen, and then looked at David Jones, as if urging him.
111 get it for you,” David said, getting up.
The medium-sized tiger-striped fish was about a meter long after removing its head.
The freshly roasted fish skin was slightly charred and shrunken, revealing some tender white flesh beneath. The plate was also sprinkled with purple acid fruit and red-tongue leaves that David added last.
This simple roast fish not only looked appealing but also carried an irresistible aroma.
The purple acid fruit and red-tongue leaves were gradeless herbs David had found in Lolo’s Herbal Space. They tasted somewhat like chili peppers, but they were more stimulating for pet creatures’ taste buds.
“Where’s the fish head?” Rainbow asked with a hint of disappointment on her face.
For her, eating fish without the head meant missing half the flavor.
“I know you like fish heads, so I made a special pot of fish head soup,” David replied with a smile as he brought out a pot of creamy white fish soup from the kitchen.
Daphne couldn’t help but stick out her delicate red tongue and give it a lick after seeing the steaming hot soup.
“Meow!” (Delicious!)
She plunged her little head right into the bowl.
Rainbow glanced at Daphne across from her, her eyes flashing with disdain.
“David Jones’s roast fish is the real deal!” (~ ~?~) ~
The next moment, Rainbow took a bite of the tender, succulent roast fish, a satisfied expression appearing on her face.
“You should try it too.”
Upon seeing David pass her a piece of fish, Lolo instinctively took a bite.
“Chirp!” (~V~)/(Delicious!)
Lolo nodded in satisfaction.
“If it’s tasty, eat more.”
Watching the three pets eating happily before him, David couldn’t help but smile faintly.
“If I can’t make it as a dragoon in the future, perhaps my cooking skills could make me a pet breeder.”
Thursday, November 17th.
After Stan Dragonjoy’s visit, David had been in seclusion for over a month.
Thanks to Lolo’s daily supply of catalyzed spirit liquid, David’s physical strength and psychic power had both increased substantially.
With his current physical prowess, he could fight and even win against Class I medium-ranked pet creatures.
In other words, the current David could single-handedly defeat the initial pets of Waterland Secondary School students.
In contrast, his Dragon-Wielding power had helped strengthen Daphne, resulting in the significant improvement of her sleeping disorder.
Not only that, but Daphne’s pet potential had risen to Purple-rated upper, and her power had leveled up to Fresh Level X, successfully entering the potential excavation period.
On the other hand, Rainbow’s strength didn’t progress as much, remaining at Class II lower-level.
“Perhaps my Arcane Star Cultivation is limiting Rainbow’s growth rate,” David speculated to himself.
As for Lolo, with David’s current Talent for Identify, he still couldn’t determine Lolo’s specific strength.
In fact, Lolo was now training on her own because David’s power was far too weak compared to Lolo’s.
“My Arcane Star accumulation is enough, but I’m still a bit short of breaking through to Class III.”
That evening, David opened his eyes, a hint of joy in them.
After long periods of diligent cultivation, the glow in his mind’s Arcane Star had completely turned deep green, with even a few strands of dazzling orange light at the edges of the star.
Clearly, he was now just one step away from reaching Class III Arcane Star.
“The essence spiritual liquid from Lolo is truly extraordinary.” David Jones couldn’t help but exclaim.
His Arcane Star’s progress in this period had exceeded his previous expectations by many times!!!
Seeing David Jones complete his Calm Mind cultivation, Rainbow eagerly burrowed into his arms.
“Liar Jones, did I get smaller again this time?”
David lowered his head to look at the Rainbow in his arms, a trace of surprise in his face.
“Is this the Great Size Adjustment?”
Rainbow shrank from 4 meters to 2 meters in front of them, and even entwined her warm and moist body around his arm like the Coldjade Snake.
Feeling the familiar warmth, Rainbow happily nodded.
How about a Class VI skill? For a genius like her, just two months of practice would suffice!
“Rainbow, Rain Dance is a core Dragon skill. You’d better focus on training this skill from now on.” David reminded with a smile.
Now he just needs to set up training tasks every day.
Rainbow didn’t need any supervision from him since she was very disciplined.
“No problem.” o( ‘a ‘ )0 Rainbow confidently said.
By the way, don’t always immerse yourself in training. Take a break occasionally and teach Lolo and Daphne the Easthua Language.” David turned to look at Lolo and Daphne by his side.
He hoped they could communicate more with each other.
Rainbow gladly agreed, as she enjoyed the feeling of teaching others.
At this moment, Lolo was carefully using a vacuum cleaner to clean the hall.
Suddenly, hearing her name, she instinctively looked at David.
“When did big sister become so small?” Lolo’s eyes lit up as she saw Rainbow’s sudden transformation.
“Chirpy!” (Big sister, I want to learn your size-changing skill!)
Lolo used Instant Teleportation to appear in front of Rainbow.
Her current size of about one meter was achieved using her mimicking skill, but Lolo wasn’t satisfied yet.
She wanted to become even smaller!!!
You can teach Lolo tomorrow; maybe she can learn the Size Adjustment after all.” As he watched the excited Lolo beside him, David had an idea.
Rainbow could also gain some experience in reviewing by teaching Lolo the skill, which would be a good opportunity for her.
Anyway, there was ample time. It wouldn’t hurt to delay the Rain Dance training for a couple of days.
“No problem.” Rainbow blinked her big eyes and agreed without hesitation.
She could use this opportunity to gauge Lolo’s strength.
There could only be one big sister in the future, and that was her!!!
Seeing the harmonious moment between the two pets in front of him, David couldn’t help but smile before continuing his arduous cultivation.
He was just a little bit away from an Arcane Star breakthrough, and he wanted to cross that threshold as soon as possible.
Thus, unknowingly, a month passed…
During this time, David kept himself occupied with Calm Mind cultivation, completely unaware of the world outside his window.
“What’s happening? I’m only at Class III now, and I’ve already hit a bottleneck?” David was sitting cross-legged on the bed, looking puzzled.
In order to maintain his condition and increase the chances of an Arcane Star breakthrough, he even postponed his dragon-wielding Strengthening today!
But he still couldn’t break through tonight.
Even though he could feel he was just a little bit away, he still couldn’t reach it.
This frustrating, unattainable feeling made him feel troubled and impatient.
It’s so difficult!!!
No wonder there still hasn’t been a Class III student in Waterland City to this day!
