What should I do if my pet loves watching anime?

At midnight, the long-awaited thunderstorm finally arrived.

It wasn't a light drizzle, but rather streaks of pale lightning tearing through the night sky.

The successive thunderclaps shook the earth.

The torrential rain lashed down like a waterfall, violently washing over the rocks and tents.

Gu Beiye was wrapped in his sleeping bag, staring intently at the screen of the monitoring device outside the tent.

The electric field readings had soared to the red alert line of the danger zone, the air was filled with the strong smell of ozone, and every clap of thunder was accompanied by a strong static induction that made hair stand on end.

"Mwah..." The Poké Ball shook slightly, and Mareep could feel the violent energy outside even inside the ball, making it somewhat uneasy.

"Don't be afraid, we are in a safe zone. The tents are made of insulating material, and the lightning rods are already in place."

Gu Beiri gently comforted him, as if speaking to himself, forcibly suppressing the slight feeling of insignificance in the face of the power of heaven and earth.

The thunderstorm lasted for nearly two hours.

At its most intense moment, a thick bolt of lightning struck a giant rock on a distant mountain ridge, instantly shattering it into pieces. The blinding white light caused temporary blindness even through the tent, and the subsequent shockwave made the tent shake violently.

Gu Beiri's palms were sweaty, and his hair stood on end.

The thunderstorm gradually subsided, turning into intermittent thunderstorms.

It was a close call, but no real danger.

The rain pattered down, and the air was washed clean and exceptionally fresh, but the electric field strength did not decrease immediately. Instead, it became more active and complex due to the interaction between the rain and the ionized air.

The rain stopped before dawn.

Gu Beiri crawled out of the tent and took a deep breath of the cool, moist air.

As dawn broke, the sky took on a clear, steely blue hue.

After being washed by lightning overnight, the rocky surface of Leiji Mountain shimmered with water, and some low-lying areas formed temporary small pools of water, reflecting the sky.

Even more striking was the presence of tiny, pale blue arcs of electricity still visible to the naked eye, like countless tiny sprites playing and frolicking in the air.

The monitoring equipment showed that the ambient electric field strength remained at the ideal high level required for training.

"Mary sheep, come out."

A flash of red light, and Mare the sheep eagerly jumped out. It seemed to sense the change in the environment as well, its body pulsating with static electricity, faintly echoing the arcs of electricity floating in the air.

"How did it feel? The spectacle last night." Gu Beiri smiled and patted its head.

"Baa!" The sheep raised its head, its eyes showing no fear, only excitement and a peculiar realization.

Although it hid inside the sphere last night, the powerful lightning energy field outside still caused a strong resonance and indescribable growth in the electricity within its body.

"Alright, let's strike while the iron is hot." Gu Beiri took out a few metal pieces. "Let's continue yesterday's precision training, but today, we're going to add something new."

He placed the metal pieces more widely and at higher positions, some even on the side of the sloping rock.

"While maintaining the area and sensing them," Gu Beiri pointed to the static electricity flowing around the sheep, "try to guide the static electricity on your body surface, not to distribute it evenly, but to make it flow like water, forming a rotating barrier around your body."

He gestured with his hands to illustrate: "Imagine that the electric shock skill you release is not directly thrown out, but first hovers around you, accelerates, and forms a shield made of electric current, which can both defend against attacks and counterattack at any time."

Mare the sheep seemed to understand, but it had an instinctive affinity for electricity.

It closed its eyes, and the golden electric field unfolded once more.

This time, the terrain unfolded more quickly and steadily, and the area was significantly expanded, almost covering the entire small rock platform where they were located.

The free charges in the air are attracted and incorporated by the venue, making the light in the venue more solid.

The metal plate was sensed quickly, even more easily than yesterday.

Next, Mare the sheep began to try to control the flow of static electricity on its body surface.

At first, it was very awkward. The static electricity just moved around randomly, sometimes gathering on the back and sometimes rushing to the limbs. Instead of forming a barrier, it interfered with the stability of the electrical field.

But Mare the sheep was not discouraged. It carefully recalled the violent yet orderly surge of energy it had felt in the lightning of the previous night and tried to imitate that flowing feeling.

Gu Beiri didn't urge him, but simply observed quietly, occasionally giving the most crucial reminders.

"Don't force it, imagine it's an extension of your body, as natural as breathing... Yes, that's the rhythm! Like your pulse!"

Um... do elves... have a pulse?

Gu Beiri clearly hadn't thought of this aspect.

Time passed second by second.

The static electricity around Mare the sheep began to fluctuate regularly, like the tides.

Gradually, these undulations connect to form a ring of static current that slowly rotates clockwise around its body.

Although it is still very thin and the rotation speed is slow, the basic shape has already appeared!

"Great! Keep that feeling! Now, try actively injecting more power into this rotating static current, making it thicker and faster, but don't lose control!"

Mali did as she was told.

Golden electric light surged forth from its body even more vigorously, merging into the rotating static current.

The static current became brighter and thicker at a speed visible to the naked eye, and its rotation began to accelerate, emitting a faint humming sound.

A pale golden spherical barrier, about one meter in diameter and made of active electricity, subtly protects Mare the sheep at its center!

"We succeeded!" Gu Beiri couldn't hide his excitement.

Although this barrier is still in its early stages, its defensive capabilities are unknown, and its stability is questionable, it is heading in the right direction!

This is an original training result that combines characteristics, skills, and environmental advantages!

"Try to maintain it, feel its intensity and the strain it takes!"

Mare the sheep worked hard to maintain this electric current barrier.

Gu Beiri then picked up a small stone and gently tossed it toward the barrier.

With a soft "plop," the stone bounced off the barrier the moment it touched it, leaving a small patch of charred black on its surface.

The defense is effective! And it even has a slight counterattack effect!

But it lasted less than thirty seconds before Mare showed signs of fatigue, the barrier flickered a few times, and then collapsed.

"Great!" Gu Beiri immediately stepped forward and fed the sheep an energy cube.

"To achieve this on the first attempt is beyond expectations. Let's call it the Shield of Counterattack."

Let's rest first, then reinforce this in the afternoon. Afterwards, we'll head into the mountains to see if we can find any suitable training materials.

The panel also updates Mareep's skills in real time, which means that Mareep has officially mastered them.

Gu Beiri breathed a long sigh of relief.

From a tactical perspective, the ability to counterattack is far superior to the ability to defend.

Perhaps its defensive capabilities are lacking, but like Supervillain's bunker-like abilities, it occupies an important position.
