Itâs been a month since I arrived in this world.
Throughout this month, Xu Ran has acquired many skills through Washing
and Protection, and witnessed countless others.
Indeed, some of the skills were quite unique, their effects and displays proving to be incredibly intriguing.
However, Xu Ran had never seen a skill as fascinating as this.
Transforming energy into a bridle and saddle?
Clearly, the skill wasnât just about energy transformation.
Curious and intrigued, Xu Ran swiftly climbed onto Starâs back, reaching out, he grabbed the other end of the bridle that was suspended in the air.
âBoom!!!â
As his hands touched the bridle, Xu Ran felt a mysterious power linking him and Star together.
Their powers intermingled and merged into a cohesive force.
In this state, he could fully share his power with Star, meaning he could use his hands to project the Dark Attribute power!
âThisâ¦â
Xu Ran, sitting on Starâs back, was stunned.
Because of the nurtured power from Ziyun and Star, his power was even more potent than Starâs right after its awakening.
When these forces combined, Starâs strength significantly increased. If he were to use a skill in this stateâ¦
Instinctively, Xu Ran wanted Star to use Twilight Watch again for comparison. But before he could issue the command, Xu Ran realized it wasnât necessary. âSnap!â
He snapped his fingers casually, and within the black ripples, Ziyunâs body was enveloped in a light film.
In this state, he could also use Starâs skills.
Meanwhile, Ziyunâs capacity rose again, and the increase was evidently more significant than the last time.
It really works!
Having his guess confirmed, Xu Ran was overwhelmed with excitement.
So, whatâs nextâ¦
Xu Ran and Star beneath him simultaneously closed their eyes. When they reopened, their pupils had turned into pure black, devoid of any white.
Two-star Skills, Stardust level â Night Eyes!
Xu Ran had heard of this skill before and was quite familiar with it.
It, like the Pupilless Eye of the Dark Scale Dragon, was a skill that augmented vision, but in different ways.
The Pupilless Eye could foresee opponentsâ moves to some extent, while Night
Eyes simply augmented vision, especially night vision.
Because of its purity, it was potent.
At night, Night Eyes can clearly see even the slightest movement thousands of meters away!
Although it wasnât midnight now, through Starâs Night Eyes, Xu Ran could feel his vision significantly improved. He could see even the dust in the air clearly.
Subsequently, Xu Ran, riding on Starâs back, began to try the last two-star skill â Night Song.
âXi Lu!â
Star excitedly reared up, preparing to sprint.
A thin layer of dark light rippled around it as if a potent force was brewing inside. n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om
However, the next moment, the thin layer of darkness quietly dissipated. Starâs front hooves awkwardly dropped back to the ground, a hint of embarrassment in its eyes.
This skill, called Night Song, could only be used in darkness.
âA skill that can only be used in the dark, huhâ¦â A smile spread across Xu Ranâs
face, âWell, this skill can come in handy then.â
Two-star skill, Nightfall, teach!
âXi Lu?â
Starâs eyes widened in surprise and bewilderment.
It felt as if countless experiences of skill usage suddenly surged into its mind, somehow mastering a brand new skill effortlessly.
Star:â!!!â
âMeow-â (Donât be so excited, thatâs basic.)
Ziyun patted Starâs head, its expression profoundly mysterious.
With Ziyunâs simple explanation, Star understood that this skill was taught by
Xu Ran, and there were more skills to come in the future.
In an instant, Star looked up to Xu Ran with immense respect.
My Beast Master is so incredible!
âWhenever we encounter other suitable skills, Iâll keep teaching them to you.â
Xu Ran pet the fur on the back of Starâs neck, his tone full of anticipation, âNow we can testâ¦â
âXu Ran! Are you there?â
A somewhat familiar voice sounded outside the closed shop door, interrupting
Xu Ranâs words.
âThat voice isâ¦â Xu Ranâs eyebrows raised, a short-haired girl with wheat-colored skin appeared in his mind.
Why is she here?
As he opened the shop door, Xu Ran quickly spotted the figure in his mind. By her side, there was a huge wolf with a height of five meters and fur as white and sleek as snow.
It was Xu Jiujiu and her pet beast, Frost Dust Wolf.
âCome on!â Seeing Xu Ran, Xu Jiujiu seemed quite excited, âMy dog has become much stronger. Let us duel againâ¦â
Before she could say âduel,â seeing Ziyun inside the shop, who had not only increased in size but also emitted an energy far beyond any ordinary Transcendent Stage pet beast, Xu Jiujiu abruptly stopped.
âYouâ¦â Xu Jiujiuâs eyes widened in disbelief, her gaze moving between Ziyun and Xu Ran, before she blurted out, âYouâve made a breakthrough? So quickly?!â Just yesterday, during the competition, he was only a Beast Master at the first stage of contract power. Yet he had made a breakthrough overnight?
Thinking of herself, who excitedly brought her more potent dog over for revenge, Xu Jiujiu felt a mix of emotions.
âEven before the competition, I was just one step away from the second stage..â
Xu Ran had already thought of an explanation, and with a faint smile, he said, âSo, did you come to challenge me?â
