High up in the sky, Tingbao opened its mouth to actively welcome the thunder.
The splendid thunder didnât strike around it but was completely swallowed within.
Tingbao burped and looked down at the Fragrant Moths, a terrifying force of thunder flashing behind it.
"Fragrance..."
Each Fragrant Moth showed a retreating expression, including the largest Fragrant Moth.
"Ting Ting!"
Tingbao let out a roar, turned its body, and yellow electric arcs crackled over its body, rushing downward.
Its body descended from high above, looking just like a bolt of yellow lightning striking downward.
The Fragrant Moths were startled and didnât muster any thought of resistance, only flapping their wings in panic to evade.
Qiao Sang watched Tingbao as if it had taken some substance, and said:
"I feel the rules of this competition are still not perfect."
Of course, theyâre not perfect. If they were, would you need me to create a thunderstorm? Lei Da inwardly mocked but pretended to be puzzled, asking:
"Why do you say that?"
"I remember this competition checks for Spirit Marks and items on the body, but it doesnât seem to check if contestants drank potions before the competition," Qiao Sang said.
"Potions are expensive." Lei Da said, "The competition lasts half a year. If you drank enhanced potions every day, the money spent would be enough for a Pet Beast to evolve from Intermediate to High-level, and even so, you might not earn first in points. No contestant would do that unless theyâre foolish and rich..."
He seemed to realize something at this point and quickly shut his mouth.
He thought of the reward given by this B-level expert in front of him, offering 100,000 Alliance Currency daily as a task reward.
During the conversation, as Tingbao rushed downwards, countless yellow electric arcs from its body suddenly spread, quickly weaving into an electric grid that enveloped a group of Fragrant Moths.
"Bang!"
Then, a blinding power of thunder and lightning lit up from its body, striking downward.
For a moment, the entire barrier was illuminated with the yellow glow of thunder and lightning.
...
Five days later.
Villa, living room.
Mikaela was sitting at the dining table, eating while glancing at Tingbao, saying:
"I feel that the scales on Thunder Dragon have become a lot more lustrous recently."
"Didnât it just finish shedding its skin." Qiao Sang said, taking a bite of food.
Mikaela suddenly changed the topic: "Have you recently had Thunder Dragon swallow the power of thunder and lightning?"
Qiao Sang responded with a "Hmm": "That Beast Tamer called Lei Da has been continuously cooperating with me."
She mentioned the matter of competing with Tingbao under thunderstorm conditions to swallow thunder.
Mikaela pondered for a moment, saying: "Electric-type Pet Beasts with Swallowing Thunder Attribute grow significantly faster after absorbing thunder and lightning, itâs rare for Intermediate stage Pet Beasts to have such an attribute. Although Thunder Dragon is a Dragon-type Pet Beast and has a slow growth cycle, its growth should also accelerate under the Swallowing Thunder Attribute. You need to pay more attention."
Qiao Sang was taken aback: "Are you saying Tingbao is going to undergo a second shedding soon?"
Mikaela: "..."
"Not too soon, Iâm just reminding you to pay attention to its changes. If itâs rapidly growing, you need to give it more Energy Pills daily," Mikaela said unhurriedly.
Qiao Sang suddenly realized something and exclaimed:
"I get it now, Tingbaoâs appetite has improved a lot recently. I thought it was due to shedding and being exhausted from recent battles."
As the words fell, the phone vibrated.
Qiao Sang glanced at the caller ID, picked up the phone, and answered:
"Hello?"
"When do you need me to come over today?" Lei Daâs voice came through the speaker.
"Today you..."
While speaking, Long King, who had already finished his meal, happened to change the channel.
The news anchorâs voice came through:
"Recently, in the ongoing Pet Beast Free Points Competition, there have been instances of unnatural alteration of the arenaâs weather. We advise contestants to pay attention to their competition environment before matches and not blindly follow others in changing the arena weather. Additionally, if any further instances of unnatural weather alterations occur during competition, outside of participantsâ skills, different degrees of bans will be imposed according to the severity..."
Qiao Sang: "..."
Mikaela silently glanced at Tingbao.
Long King glanced at Qiao Sang.
"Hello, hello. Can you still hear me?" Lei Da inquired from the other end of the call.
Qiao Sang paused for a moment, then added what she hadnât yet said:
"You donât need to come today."
