Beast Taming Begins with Inheriting a Legacy.

Chapter 40 Thunder-Marked Cat VS Three-Tailed Fire Fox

Gu Ling hesitated for a moment and did not choose to give 100,000 volts.

The fact that Xianjiu lacks electric-type talent is easy to find out with a little investigation. Xianjiu's Thunderbolt is already at the minor proficiency level. It would be a bit absurd to raise it to mastery level in a short period of time, right?

"A basic level of 100,000 volts is enough, let's choose something else..."

[Lightning Flash (Minor Success 205/500) → (Mastery 0/2000)]

Shadow Clone (Minor Success 70/500) → (Mastery 0/2000)

Available Points: 1790

Gu Ling hesitated between a flash of lightning and high-speed movement, but ultimately chose the more aggressive flash of lightning.

If you can kill your opponent instantly, why waste time dealing with them?

A master-level shadow clone can create 3 to 6 clones, making it much harder for the main body to be exposed. Unlike this morning's battle, when the stinky grass found out Xianjiu's main body so quickly.

"Xian Jiu, use Shadow Clone."

Upon hearing his Beastmaster's words, Xian Jiu jumped off the sofa and activated his Shadow Clone skill, instantly splitting into four. The fourth clone left a brief afterimage for a few seconds before disappearing.

It seems that Xianjiu can reliably create three clones at present.

"Not bad. Once I get more proficient, I'll be able to conjure up five or six more." Gu Ling nodded slightly, quite satisfied.

Then, Gu Ling casually picked up a training sandbag from the corner and called Xian Jiu to go out.

Right there in the stairwell, Gu Ling put down the sandbag and then instructed Xian Jiu: "Xian Jiu, use Lightning Flash once along the stairwell, but be careful not to bump into anyone's door."

Otherwise, with the current power of Xianjiu's lightning strike, it would probably smash the door open, and then we'd have to pay for it again.

"Meow~"

In just a few seconds, Xian Jiu rammed headfirst into the sandbag.

boom!

Xian Jiu easily broke a hole in the sandbag, and the sand inside flowed out with a gurgling sound.

"As expected of a master-level Lightning Flash, the speed improvement is clearly visible." Gu Ling had just taken out his phone to start the timer when it was already over.

"Xian Jiu, use your telekinesis to put all this sand back into the bag. Don't miss a single grain. This is also part of the training."

Gu Ling casually pulled out a black plastic bag from inside the room, handed it to Xian Jiu, and even added a final sentence.

"Meow~"

Upon hearing that it was training, Xian Jiu, who had been looking lazy, immediately became serious.

Having successfully escaped cleaning, Gu Ling returned to her room to continue devising tactics for the afternoon's battle against the Three-Tailed Fire Fox.

……

Before we knew it, it was time for the afternoon's battle exam.

Before the match, Huang Weiwei came over to cheer him on: "Go Lingling! Defeat Lu Jiuwen!"

Gu Ling smiled helplessly: "Yeah, I'll do my best."

After saying that, Gu Ling turned around and led Xian Jiu to the battlefield.

After completing the pre-match procedures, the match officially begins.

Lu Jiuwen gave the first attack command: "Three-Tailed Fire Fox, use Lightning Flash."

"Eee~"

The three-tailed fire fox nimbly ran, transforming into a bolt of lightning as it attacked Xian Jiu.

Gu Ling raised an eyebrow slightly.

Two weeks ago, the Three-Tailed Fire Fox didn't know the Lightning Flash skill, did it? Is this a newly acquired skill?

"Xian Jiu, let's use Lightning Flash too."

As soon as she finished speaking, Xian Jiu rushed out as well.

The two pets collided, and unsurprisingly, the three-tailed fire fox was sent flying.

Lu Jiuwen was startled.

Using the newly learned Lightning Flash technique to launch an attack was Lu Jiuwen's way of testing the waters first.

But why does it feel like the power of Raijin Cat's Quick Attack is stronger than in the last battle?

Regardless of Lu Jiuwen's guesses, Gu Ling continued her attack: "Xian Jiu, use Lightning Flash again!"

Lu Jiuwen realized he could no longer confront them head-on, so after the three-tailed fire fox stood up again, he gave the order: "Use smoke."

The three-tailed fire fox opened its mouth and exhaled puffs of smoke.

Soon, the smoke concealed the three-tailed fire fox's figure.

Xian Jiu rushed into the hazy smoke. Without the Three-Tailed Fire Fox's vision, she immediately lost her target and was forced to interrupt her charged lightning strike.

Lu Jiuwen: "Use Spark!"

Suddenly, a flame erupted from the black smoke and shot towards Xian Jiu's back!

"Xian Jiu, use high-speed movement to dodge!" After Lu Jiuwen spoke, Gu Ling, although unable to see the situation inside the smoke, immediately issued the command.

"Three-Tailed Fire Fox, use your roar!"

The cries of the three-tailed fire fox rang out, somewhat disrupting Xianjiu's movement rhythm.

But soon, Xianjiu regained her composure, maintained her speed, and dodged the spark attacks.

As the smoke gradually dissipated, it was seen that Xianjiu had approached the Three-Tailed Fire Fox.

At the same time, Gu Ling and Lu Jiuwen's voices rang out simultaneously—

"Use Iron Tail!"

"Use Iron Tail!"

boom!

The steel tails of the two pets collided simultaneously.

The next second, the three-tailed fire fox screamed and flew backward, while Xian Jiu landed lightly on the ground without being hurt.

Upon seeing this, Lu Jiuwen subconsciously clenched his fist: "How exactly did Gu Ling train? Even the Iron Tail is so powerful..."

Although he had many doubts in his heart, Lu Jiuwen did not show them on his face and continued to command the three-tailed fire fox to continue the attack.

Every time the Three-Tailed Fire Fox attacks, it does so with the spirit of a desperate warrior. After being hit by Xian Jiu's various attacks, it gets up again and again, never giving up.

As time went on, the scales of victory seemed to tip in Gu Ling's favor.

But Gu Ling felt something was off: "That's strange, why is Lu Jiuwen delaying letting the Three-Tailed Fire Fox use its Flame Vortex?"

Gu Ling stared intently at the three-tailed fire fox, which repeatedly got injured but forced itself to get up, its eyes filled with determination. Suddenly, it dawned on her: "...It's the Blazing Fire ability!"

The greater the damage received, the more powerful the fire-attribute moves become.

Lu Jiuwen did it on purpose!

He actually managed to activate the Blazing Fire trait after betting that the Three-Tailed Fire Fox could withstand several attacks from Xian Jiu, thus increasing the power of his fire-type skills.

After being knocked away once again, the three-tailed fire fox staggered to its feet and suddenly let out a soft whimper, as a fist-sized flame spontaneously erupted from its tail.

The next second, the flames suddenly increased several times in size!

Upon seeing the flame appear, Lu Jiuwen's eyes immediately sharpened: "Three-Tailed Fire Fox, use Flame Vortex!"

"Eee~"

The three-tailed fire fox opened its mouth and spat out a swirling fireball.

The fireball continued to expand rapidly, its momentum overwhelming. Within a few breaths, it surrounded most of the battlefield, engulfing Xian Jiu in raging flames.

In this situation, no matter how fast Xian Jiu is, she cannot escape the encirclement of the flame vortex, because if she runs any further out, she will be out of bounds!

Lu Jiuwen looked up at Gu Ling opposite him, thinking to himself, "Gu Ling, what other ways do you have to deal with this?"

No matter how fast you move or how fast you flash by, if you try to escape the vortex of flames, you will inevitably be burned by the scorching flames.

After figuring out Lu Jiuwen's series of unusual actions, and with Xian Jiu still trapped in the vortex of flames, Gu Ling's expression calmed down: "Xian Jiu, use high-speed movement and rush towards the Three-Tailed Fire Fox!"
