Chapter 20: Chapter 20: Incredible Guess 1

“Washing and Protection?” Zhao You furrowed his brows. “Sure, it can keep a Pet Beast clean and in a good state of health, but how can it possibly enhance its power?”

“Anyway, you should observe and learn from your training in the future. You have to find out when the Green Wind Eagle tends to improve the most. That will help you find a pattern in the training.”

After offering his usual advice and noting down Lin Yue's test results, Zhao You waved away, “Next up, according to the roll number!”

Lin Yue returned to her place, holding her Green Wind Eagle, looking around before lowering her voice to Su Xiaoxiao, “Xiaoxiao, I really feel it's because of the Washing and Protection.”

“I'm not sure.” Su Xiaoxiao shook her head, showing a thoughtful look. “Come to think of it, hasn't my Little Flame performed better ever since it battled the boss's pet beast?”

“You will be up soon according to the roll number.” Lin Yue nodded towards the open field, “You can test it out then.”

“If Little Flame improves as much as Little Yu, then it definitely had to do with the Washing and Protection!”

“If that is indeed the case…” Lin Yue displayed a hint of anticipation on her face, “I would definitely go to that Foster Shop and personally thank the boss!”

“Alright, count me in,” Su Xiaoxiao nodded seriously.

Not far from the duo, Duan Anxun watched the whispering girls.

“An Xun! Lin Yue has outperformed everyone, but I know for sure you can do even better!” Du Ting asserted confidently, “Once our turn comes, we will show her.”

“Uh-huh…” Duan Anxun replied absent-mindedly, her mind occupied by 'Washing and Protection' Lin Yue had mentioned before.

Su Xiaoxiao had taken her pet beast for Washing and Protection yesterday and then returned to outshine her, winning the highest score in the Appearance Assessment.

Today, Lin Yue's Green Wind Eagle had a dramatic improvement as well. Obviously, their pet beasts had been treated at the same shop.

Which shop could that be?

Duan Anxun recalled all nearby shops that offer Pet Beast Washing and Protection Services but could not figure out which one had this level of proficiency.

“Su Xiaoxiao is up for the test!” Du Ting's voice was full of anticipation. “Her Flame Fox never cooperates during training, there can't be much improvement!”

“Huh?” Duan Anxun came back to the present, watching the girl stepping into the field.

After a moment, a shocked expression appeared on her face.

What the hell?!

“Flame Wall, Maximum range 3.1 meters, Center temperature 863°C.” Zhao You read out the test results, then looked at the record from a month ago with a strange expression on his face.

A month ago, the Flame Wall cast by this Flame Fox had a maximum range of 2.5 meters, and the center temperature was only 793°C.

The increased range was nothing extraordinary, but for the Fire Pet Beast, increasing the temperature of the flames was not an easy task.

“Continue with the Flame Dance test,” Zhao You ordered gravely.

“Okay!” Su Xiaoxiao, excited with the detailed test results, exchanged a look with Lin Yue, and then signaled Little Flame to continue the test.

A few moments later, a rotating column of fire shot up into the sky.

“Flame Dance, pre-release delay 0.4 seconds, height 3.2 meters, center temperature 1O39°C.” Zhao You looked over the test records, his expression growing more puzzled.

All other aspects of the improvement seemed normal, but just a month ago, the pre-release delay for Flame Dance from this Flame Fox was a full 0.8 seconds.

Flame Dance is a powerful skill, but the delay was a significant issue. In the rapidly changing battlefield, it could greatly affect the practical application of the skill.

Halving the delay in just a month? How was that possible?

As Zhao You wondered, a familiar feeling washed over him.

He had recently experienced the same baffling surprise.

He looked up and eyed an innocent-looking Lin Yue in the crowd.

If he remembered correctly, Lin Yue and Su Xiaoxiao were good friends, right?

He then took another look at Su Xiaoxiao's Flame Fox.

Its dazzling, cloud-like long fur had significantly enhanced the Flame Fox's appearance, a clear sign that it had just undergone Washing and Protection.

For a moment, he recalled the casual words of Lin Yue.

Could this really be related to that Washing and Protection?

That would be absurd!

Zhao You quickly dismissed this unbelievable hypothesis.

Having confidence in his expertise, he believed that there must be some other factors that had massively improved the training efficiency of these two Pet Beasts.

As curious as he was, he understood discretion. Everyone had their secrets.

“Alright, the next student, come for your test!” He signaled Su Xiaoxiao to return to her place, quickly completed documenting the records, and let the next student begin their test.

Su Xiaoxiao, upon returning to their squad held hands with Lin Yue, both looking quite excited.

If the rapid progress of Lin Yue's Green Wind Eagle was not sufficient proof, then the substantial improvement of Su Xiaoxiao's Flame Fox was sufficient to prove that it was indeed related to Washing and Protection.

The duo conspired in hushed whispers and quickly planned to visit the Starfire Foster Shop after school to thank the boss in person.

Off to the side, Duan Anxun watched the whispering duo and became even more intrigued about that mysterious foster shop.

A shop with such remarkable effects from its Washing and Protection services, and may even assist in training…

As Duan Anxun, she wasn't going to let such a place slip by!

“Training Over!”

Inside the Long River Pet Beast Training Hall, Xu Ran pushed the stop button, ending the three-hour long uninterrupted training session.

“Meow-” (Why did you stop?)

The twinkling form of Ziyun swiftly froze in place, then gracefully leaped into Xu Ran's arms, looking at him somewhat discontentedly.

For some reason, during those three hours, Ziyun felt as though it had endless energy. Regardless of how it used its skills, it wouldn't feel exhausted.

The feeling of using skills limitlessly was simply too wonderful; it felt that it could keep training forever!

“Remember the thing you drank before training?” Realizing what Ziyun was thinking, Xu Ran patted its head lightly, “That's the reason why you didn't feel exhausted during the training.”

“The effect of that potion only lasts for three hours, so if you continue with high-intensity training like now, you will exhaust yourself in no time.” Ziyun showed a look of sudden realization, now understanding why it felt an endless surge of energy before, and then it rubbed against Xu Ran's cheek, its eyes full of anticipation.

“Meow?” (Do we have more of that potion?)

“…Not at the moment.” Xu Ran's mouth twitched.

Though there was another bottle, that potion could currently only be obtained through a lottery drawing, which was uncertain.

Better safe than sorry, so he decided to save a bottle just in case.

“Meow-” (Alright then.)

Ziyun was a bit disappointed. However, it cheerfully changed its mood when Xu Ran took out a handful of purple sugar beans.

“Let's head back now.” Xu Ran fed Ziyun while opening the Pet Beast Panel.
