Beast Tamer: I'm invincible because I can see the evolution path!

Chapter 153 The Unbelievable Power of Gluttony! Qiao Bai: The Door to a New World Has Opened!

"Why don't you take a look at your pet first, and let Little Jellyfish see if there's anything it wants to battle?"

Qiao Bai decisively shifted the blame onto the little jellyfish.

It's not his problem if he gets rejected later; it's because the little jellyfish doesn't want to fight.

Little jellyfish: "?"

"Kulu?"

A chill ran down my spine?

The little jellyfish understood what Qiao Bai was saying.

The little jellyfish gave a reproachful look... Oh, the little jellyfish has no eyes, so it could only huff and puff, contracting and relaxing at a high frequency to express its anger towards Qiao Bai.

[○｀Д○]

Beastmaster, you're wicked!

Qiao Bai accurately sensed the little jellyfish's exasperated mood from the contract with it.

Even Muller and Su Fang, who were standing to the side and didn't understand what the little jellyfish was saying, could see it.

Yep.

The child is really angry.

Qiao Bai coughed twice calmly.

cough cough.

The problem is not big.

"Then let's give it a try."

In the end, Qiao Bai still didn't let Little Jellyfish take the blame.

After careful consideration, Qiao Bai agreed to Su Fang's sudden challenge to a duel.

Qiao Bai glanced at the little jellyfish's panel.

Due to the mutation, there are still many question marks on the little jellyfish's panel.

strength?

do not know.

Bloodline?

do not know.

The only thing I know is the [Gluttony] talent skill.

The more it eats, the stronger it becomes... But this innate skill alone is far from enough for the little jellyfish.

It remains to be seen whether more useful information can be revealed during the battle.

"it is good."

Su Fang was only slightly surprised that Qiao Bai had agreed to the challenge.

As beast tamers, facing battle is never something they fear, nor is defeat.

Discovering a pet's weaknesses in battle and testing the results of training through combat—that is the true meaning of battle.

"How strong are your little jellyfish?" Su Fang's gaze swept over Qiao Bai's four pet beasts.

The strength of the four pets can be estimated based on the length of the contract and the aura emanating from them.

no doubt.

The big bird named Little Crow is definitely the strongest in this family, followed by the cat dragon with two dragon horns.

The jade silver snake and the small jellyfish of unknown species... their strength in this household is probably at the bottom.

Little White Snake: I'm super strong, okay?!

Little jellyfish: Yes, that's right, I'm at the bottom!

The little white snake was competitive.

The little jellyfish is as Buddhist as can be.

What?

It can't beat anyone in this family.

Ouch.

Isn't this perfectly normal?

I ask you, who in this house can it beat?

Not to mention that this family is full of hidden talents, each of whom is a top-notch expert in their respective fields.

Even if I leave this home.

Who can it defeat?

The little jellyfish inadvertently recalled its past when it was so hungry that it ate its tentacles, and subconsciously waved its eight long tentacles, looking eager to stuff them under its jellyfish shell.

Qiao Bai: "..."

Qiao Bai, who was used to stuffing extra food into his pockets, pulled out a bag of sturdy biscuits that were as hard as bricks and that nobody would eat, and which were rarely liked by supernatural beings.

Qiao Bai opened the package and fed it to the little jellyfish.

Muller and Su Fang, who were standing to the side, both cast surprised, shocked, and heartbroken glances at Qiao Bai.

"I never knew you were this kind of person." Su Fang's voice carried a hint of anger: "What's wrong with buying some good food for your pet? You actually fed it these biscuits that are so disgusting even a human would vomit after one bite?"

"Don't you know that aquatic supernatural beings have special requirements for their food?"

As he spoke, Su Fang thought of his own pet animals.

Ice Mandarin Duck.

Longfin Siren.

Double-headed jade ornaments.

Colorful-patterned bream.

They're all pickiest eaters.

If it's too dry, I won't eat it; if it's too wet, I won't eat it; if it's too bland, I won't eat it; if it's too salty, I won't eat it. It's as if the words "picky eater" are written all over his forehead.

Even so, Su Fang still took good care of them.

Prepare their favorite foods according to their preferred tastes.

It's only natural and expected that beast tamers treat their pets well.

Like Qiao Bai...

If Qiao Bai hadn't been quick, they would have eaten the little jellyfish along with the cookie wrapper.

Muller and Su Fang: "..."

"Um... well..." Muller was at a loss for words.

This seems to be a little different from what they expected?

Qiao Bai waved his hand dismissively and said, "Little jellyfish can eat anything and dare to eat anything. It's not that I don't want to make it more refined."

He would prepare very elaborate food for Little Crow and Little White Snake, and every now and then he would even have a snack or afternoon tea.

But the little jellyfish...

Forget it.

It's good enough if the little jellyfish can be half full. Why worry about so many other things? In the end, you'll only be the one who gets exhausted.

"I'm sorry, I apologize for what I said earlier..." Su Fang realized that she had been too subjective, and she promptly apologized to Qiao Bai.

Qiao Bai smiled and didn't take the little incident to heart.

"Let's find a more suitable place to fight then."

Muller glanced at the two men and pointed towards the sea.

"Professor Qiao Bai's pet is this little jellyfish. Su Fang, what about you? But if you're both water-attribute extraordinary creatures, the seaside environment is probably better."

"We can also take this opportunity to see if we can encounter any extraordinary creatures invading the coastline."

Neither Qiao Bai nor Su Fang had any objections.

"The beach is just right."

Su Fang nodded.

"I'll use the Rainbow-Patterned Qilin Fish. Its strength is only at the mid-level of the third tier, which is just right."

The remaining pets were all at the fourth tier, and using them to fight against this little jellyfish whose species and strength were completely unknown... Su Fang felt a little guilty.

cough cough.

I'll say it again, she really didn't mean to retaliate.

I simply wanted to see the true power of this extraordinary creature that resembled a box jellyfish.

Before the battle even began, Qiao Bai witnessed firsthand what it meant for such an outfit to be perfectly suited for the sea.

Neither Müller nor Su Fang seemed to mind standing in the seawater, their calves submerged. Waves kept crashing over them, and neither of them seemed to care that their clothes or shoes would get wet.

In contrast, consider Qiao Bai.

Because he was dressed too neatly, he looked out of place standing between the two people and seemed like an outsider.

Fortunately, neither Qiao Bai, Su Fang, nor Muller seemed to care much.

What's wrong with Qiao Bai's outfit?

normal.

That's perfectly normal.

"Then I'll be the referee for you two."

Muller stood a short distance away, hands on his hips, and said with a smile.

Qiao Bai stood on the beach, a short distance from the sea, while Su Fang stood in the water. The boundary between the beach and the sea was like the boundary of their battlefield.

"Come out, Rainbow-striped Scaled Fish."

With a wave of his hand, Su Fang summoned a large fish that looked to weigh over ten kilograms, was nearly a meter long, and whose scales shone with different colors.

This was the first time Qiao Bai had ever seen a pet with such pure water attributes, whose battleground was confined to an environment filled with water.

In water, the strength of the Rainbow Scaled Fish will be enhanced.

However, the specifics depend on the pet's own strength.

Third-level intermediate.

It's a fairly normal level, neither too strong nor too weak, but it's a level that Qiao Bai's other three pet beasts could easily defeat.

But today's contestant is a small jellyfish.

Qiao Bai looked at the little jellyfish with a hint of worry in his eyes.

However, the other three pets in the family didn't share Qiao Bai's worries.

Little Wu: Go for it!

Catbug: Go for it!

Little White Snake: Go for it!

brothers!

you can!

Little Wu, Cat Bug, and Little White Snake all looked intently at the little jellyfish, and its rival, the colorful finned fish.

Colorful Scaled Fish: Blowing Bubbles.jpg

Oooo~

It was just an ordinary wrasse.

It thought today was just an ordinary battle.

But isn't the pressure from the other side a little off?

Qiao Bai, who saw the colorful-patterned unicorn fish, felt immense pressure: "..."

Qiao Bai reached out and gently tapped the heads of Xiao Wu, Maomaochong, and Xiaobai She in turn.

"That's enough for you guys, don't interfere with the little jellyfish's battle."

"What I want to see is the jellyfish's true abilities. Only in this way can I better plan its subsequent training and evolution, and arrange its evolutionary path."

Little Crow, Cat, Insect, and Little White Snake: Well-behaved.jpg

The three little ones all quieted down obediently.

Qiao Bai was helpless.

Su Fang couldn't help but slightly curl the corners of his lips.

"Your pets are very united, and they all get along very well." Su Fang's voice carried a hint of envy.

Her pets... are also very united, but perhaps because they all have the same attributes, they usually compete to prove that they are the boss of the family.

Su Fang, as a beast tamer, sometimes has a lot of headaches.

Looking at the harmonious atmosphere between Qiao Bai and his pets, she felt it necessary to learn a lot from Qiao Bai after the battle.

"Alright, alright, you two, that's enough." Muller, hands on his hips, shouted at Qiao Bai and Su Fang's location, "Ready for battle!"

"Three! Two! One... Go!"

As Muller finished speaking, Qiao Bai and Su Fang quickly adjusted their state.

Battle begins!

"Little fish, use water spray!" Su Fang took the initiative and launched the first attack.

However, not knowing the strength of the little jellyfish, she tentatively used the most common and basic water-attribute skill, which generally does not cause much damage.

Qiao Bai glanced at the little jellyfish's four skills and was momentarily at a loss.

that is……

Which of these four skills is suitable to be used at this time?

Several tactics flashed through Qiao Bai's mind.

Hmm, not suitable, not suitable, still not suitable.

So... "Little jellyfish, get out of the way!"

While I'm at it, let me poke at the little jellyfish's stars in my mental sea—can I use [Gluttony]?

Little jellyfish: "?"

The little jellyfish deftly dodged the not-so-powerful jet of water, a deep sense of doubt welling up inside it as it looked at Qiao Bai.

Binge eating?

What kind of binge eating is being used?

"Use water jets!"

Su waved his hand, upgrading his skill, and the damp water element spread and permeated the air.

She discovered.

The only abilities the little jellyfish demonstrated were dodging, dodging, and dodging.

Su Fang raised an eyebrow.

What about skills?

What about the battle?

What about a counterattack?

If you don't know the jellyfish's abilities, just let it act on its instincts!

They can more or less figure out the skills and moves that the little jellyfish has already learned.

What's the point of just dodging?

Looking at the little jellyfish, which looked so much like the box jellyfish she had always dreamed of but could never have, Su Fang decided to go a little harder next time—at least to force out the little jellyfish's fighting spirit and make it retaliate!

Fight back!

"Little fish, bind me in this water prison!"

Su Fangjiao shouted, and several huge water balls instantly condensed in the air, surrounding the little jellyfish and enveloping it in the blink of an eye.

Qiao Bai and Little Jellyfish: "?"

Although the little jellyfish is not the water-attribute supernatural creature one might imagine, the water prison, which is useful to other supernatural creatures, is far less effective for the little jellyfish than one might think.

Can jellyfish drown?

Su Fang saw through Qiao Bai's thoughts, and she gave a soft hum: "This move can do more than just that, it explodes."

As Su Fang finished speaking, another sound came from inside the water sphere that was encasing the little jellyfish.

Bang!

Bang bang!

Muffled cracking sounds kept coming from inside the water sphere.

Water droplets burst open.

The little jellyfish's body trembled violently from the explosion.

"Play dead."

Qiao Bai frowned slightly, then calmly said.

In an instant, the tiny jellyfish, which had been lively and twitching with the bursting water, lay flat and motionless, as if it were dead.

Su Fang: "?"

Su Fang was shocked.

Müller was also shocked.

No?

Is this really a legitimate skill?

"It's none of my business; it's a skill it has built into its body."

Facing the shocked and questioning gazes of Muller and Su Fang, Qiao Bai remained calm and spoke.

Su Fang and Muller: "..."

Ha ha.

Can they say they don't believe it?

Who's a kind soul with water-attribute supernatural beings who doesn't know combat skills? Why don't they learn this skill?

Qiao Bai sighed.

Silently, they took the blame for the little jellyfish.

Qiao Bai: This is probably the bad consequence of his previous attempt to make Little Jellyfish take the blame for him!

Qiao Bai once again nudged the little jellyfish's star in his mind's eye—eat!

Very simple.

Just one word.

eat!

Qiao Bai had previously pondered the little jellyfish's innate skill, [Gluttony].

What's interesting is that this talent skill makes it seem like the little jellyfish can eat anything, even its own body. So why can't it eat skills?

You can eat regular food.

Foods with specific properties are edible.

Foods that exhibit energy fluctuations are safe to eat.

If we consider the opponent's skills as food, then can we eat the jellyfish as well?

The little jellyfish, who had never tried anything like this before—running away when faced with an opponent it couldn't beat, and playing dead when it couldn't escape—was bewildered.

hmmmm?

The little jellyfish is blowing bubbles.

The little jellyfish felt as if a new world had been opened to it.

If the little jellyfish didn't lack eyes, its eyes would definitely light up instantly—

good!

This world is so wonderful!

The little jellyfish waved its long tentacles wildly in ecstasy.

Su Fang's forehead tightened, vaguely sensing that something was wrong, but before she could react...

Suddenly, the little jellyfish opened its jellyfish shell wide and swallowed the water prison that had confined it.

It swallowed down the "pfft pfft" and "bang bang bang" sounds that came with it.

Su Fang: "?"

Müller: "?"

Colorful-striped unicorn: "???"

The two people and the fish opposite them all showed expressions of shock.

No?

What did they see?

What is this?

The water flow that trapped the little jellyfish was no ordinary water flow; it contained magical energy. How could it possibly swallow such a thing?

Little Wu: Yay!

Catbug: Yay!

Little White Snake: Yay!

Come on!

Charge!

Qiao Bai's three pets excitedly cheered for the little jellyfish, as if they were fighting themselves—although if it were them, the battle would already be over.

But the three little creatures were overjoyed to see the seemingly weak jellyfish display such unexpected abilities.

Yes.

Their little brother stood up on his own!

You've grown up!

This is an incredible thing for me!

Su Fang was shocked and confused.

Seeing the excited expressions on Qiao Bai's other three pets, Su Fang quickly calmed down and continued his actions.

"Colorful-patterned unicorn, water dragon's roar!"

Su Fang stopped testing him.

The little jellyfish's strength... was completely undetectable.

One second they used a baffling "play dead" skill, and the next second they were able to swallow the Water Prison skill in one go.

This is no longer an ordinary coaching match.

After the little jellyfish demonstrated that ability, the competition gradually became more intense.

Su Fang also showed his true abilities.

The most powerful attack from the Rainbow-Patterned Scaled Fish—

Driven by the energy of the Rainbow-Patterned Qilin Fish, a huge column of water rose into the air from the sea surface. The streams of water twisted and merged together to form a water dragon as thick as a thigh, with a vaguely discernible shape, covered in scales, horns, and claws.

It opened its mouth-like opening and suddenly attacked the small jellyfish!

"Keep eating!"

Qiao Bai only has these three words.

eat!

Eat it in big bites!

The more you eat, the stronger you become, right?

It's too difficult to feed the baby jellyfish with ordinary food, but if we could broaden their diet... Qiao Bai felt that a brand new path was slowly opening up before him.

well.

very good.

That's it.

Show your full potential and skills!

The little jellyfish opened its jellyfish shell as wide as possible—and let out a loud snort!

He bit off half of the faucet.

Then it slid smoothly down the "water dragon's" body.

However, because the jellyfish's shell is of limited size, it is still a little smaller than the "water dragon's" body, and it cannot swallow the entire "water dragon" in one go.

The resounding roar of the "water dragon" arrived belatedly—roar—chirp…

It lacks staying power.

The dragon's roar, which was supposed to be majestic and powerful, lost its momentum halfway through and the disc stopped playing.

Su Fang: "..."

silence.

For Su Fang, silence was her final line.

It was simply because the scene unfolding before her eyes was too incredible, too challenging to her worldview. She couldn't even figure out how that jellyfish had managed to do it.

"Ahem." Muller coughed twice, looking down, clearly disapproving.

The course of this battle... Muller swore he hadn't expected it, he really hadn't.

Before the match even started, I wondered who could have predicted this outcome?

I never would have imagined that!

Su Fang was jolted back to his senses by the cough.

The little jellyfish's abilities were indeed astonishing, but now was far from the time to give up. Seeing the little jellyfish, who looked a bit dizzy after taking a powerful but ultimately weak Water Dragon Roar at close range, Su Fang realized she still had a chance—"Little fish, one more time, Water Prison Binding!"

Colorful-striped Scaled Fish: "Pulu...?"

The colorful unicorn opened its round mouth, which looked like an "O", and kept gurgling and spitting out bubbles in the water.

Water dungeon?

water polo?

Sorry.

No.

Su Fang: "?"

Su Fang looked down at the colorful-patterned unicorn fish.

The colorful-patterned unicorn fish also stared at Su Fang with its big, unblinking eyes, its gaze full of confusion and bewilderment.

Fish: What happened? Who am I? Where am I? Where did my skills go?

Su Fang instantly recalled the water prison that had bound her when she was swallowed by the little jellyfish, and a bad feeling immediately arose in her mind.

The Rainbow-patterned Qilin failed to unleash its skill.

The little jellyfish, quite smoothly, turned around and completely devoured the "water dragon" formed by the condensed water flow.

Then the little jellyfish gently contracted its operculum and let out a tiny burp.

"ge~"

Qiao Bai: "!"

Qiao Bai was shocked.

This was the first time he had heard the little jellyfish burp since he had been contracting it for almost half a month.

Are they full?

Qiao Bai thought this way and asked the question.

The little jellyfish waved its long outstretched arm.

"kulu~"

His voice carried a hint of laziness and contentment.

I'm about 90% full!

It's still edible!

After burping, I feel a bit hungry again!

Qiao Bai was both speechless and excited.

good good!

As long as this method allows me to eat my fill, that's fine!

Qiao Bai's biggest headache was that feeding the baby jellyfish was just too difficult.

Over the past two weeks, his savings have plummeted in a straight, precipitous manner.

It's not that Qiao Bai is stingy and doesn't want to spend money on his pet.

It's because the little jellyfish is just too dramatic... and after all that drama, there's no change on the panel at all.

Qiao Bai: It hurts, it really hurts.

Fortunately, today's battle opened a new world for Qiao Bai and Little Jellyfish, and now they have food to eat!

As long as it contains energy, the little jellyfish can eat it. That's an energy-generating ability in itself, so the little jellyfish can eat even more!

as predicted.

Yes, you can eat it.

I can still eat my fill.

Immediately afterwards, Qiao Bai also noticed something was off about Su Fang and the colorful unicorn fish on the other side.

It seems the Rainbow-striped Scaled Fish is unable to use the skill [Water Prison Binding], which was swallowed by the small jellyfish?

Qiao Bai and Su Fang's eyes met.

He immediately knew that his guess was true.

Qiao Bai was somewhat shocked.

Is this unavailability temporary or permanent?

Qiao Bai quickly activated his talent skills and saw the changes on the little jellyfish's panel.

[Pet: Box Poison Jellyfish]

【Attribute: Special】

[Type: Advanced Transcendent Mid-Tier]

[Level: Tier 2 Advanced+]

[Skills: Colored Bubbles, Playing Dead, Stun, Holding Breath]

[Evolutionary Path: ——]

Bloodline: —

[Talent Skill: Gluttony]

[Gluttony 1: The more food energy you consume, the faster you grow and the faster your strength increases (upgradeable)]

【Gluttony 2: Gluttony can devour the skills of opponents whose strength is no more than twice its own, converting them into its own energy intake (see Gluttony 1) and inflicting a ten-minute sealing effect on the devoured skills (inherent attribute)】

[Delicious! So delicious! So satisfying! The slurping texture... the refreshing taste... I could eat three more big bowls!]

The evolutionary path has still not been revealed.

The bloodline is still unclear.

However, their strength was revealed.

Second-tier advanced... not very high, but not a big problem.

If you're not strong enough, just train.

If all else fails, he can always give the child a cheat code!

Then...

Qiao Bai looked at the description of "Gluttony 2" and was a little surprised.

I never expected that the same talent skill could have two different descriptions?

interesting.

However, the second explanation is indeed very useful.

It can absorb the skills of opponents no more than twice its own strength and turn them into its own energy, and then ban the absorbed skill.

This strength... is heaven-defying.

That's a bit too outrageous.

That means the little jellyfish can now completely devour the skills of fourth-tier advanced supernatural creatures and below, and then use a skill seal on them in return.

Considering that the little jellyfish has no combat skills, what's going on here?

Although I have no combat skills.

But can I make you, like me, without combat skills?

We can't beat them.

But I can drag you to the same height as me.

Then we just ended up fighting like chickens?

Qiao Bai: "..."

Complex.

My feelings are very complicated.

Is this what they mean by not needing to consider the opponent's level, but simply finding a way to drag the opponent into your own territory and level, making you invincible?

Qiao Bai looked on with a sigh.

Su Fang also realized the problem.

Su Fang's gaze toward the little jellyfish was filled with complex emotions.

What did you say?

What can she say when faced with such a shameless little jellyfish with such outrageous skills?

Keep fighting... what are you fighting for!

It's not a big deal at all!

"I give up," Su Fang said angrily, puffing out his cheeks.

The colorful fin bream in the seawater seemed a little unconvinced, staring at the small jellyfish that landed in front of it with its big, dead fish eyes, and occasionally teasing it with its tentacles.

Colorful-patterned unicorn: angry, very angry, extremely angry.

So angry I blew bubbles.

But an attack?

I have absolutely no intention of attacking!

It already has two skills that are unusable, and it doesn't want more skills to become unusable in the future!

Little Crow, Cat Bug, and Little White Snake all gathered around Little Jellyfish. Little Jellyfish lowered its height and happily greeted its three elders.

"Kulu!" I'm awesome!

Xiao Wu: A look of affirmation.jpg

But don't be arrogant!

"Chirp chirp!"

As my subordinate, you should have this kind of strength!

"aogu!"

We reluctantly accept you as a formal member of our family!

The four pets huddled together, snuggling close.

The Rainbow-striped Scaled Fish trembled under the oppressive aura emanating from Little Crow, Cat Bug, and Little White Snake, too afraid to move: "..."

I know you two have a deep bond.

But could you please find another place to express your feelings?

The fish is dying!

The fish is about to die!

The powerless rainbow finfish: blowing bubbles Ooo~

The colorful-patterned unicorn fish mastered the skill of feigning death without any instruction.

Whatever.

The colorful unicorn gave up resisting.

At this moment, Su Fang was unaware of what had happened to her colorful unicorn.

Muller, who had been watching from the sidelines, walked towards the two of them with a puzzled expression on his face, not understanding why Su Fang had conceded defeat.

"Why?"

Muller looked bewildered.

"The situation is clearly very favorable!"

"Although Qiao Bai's jellyfish skill is a bit strange... overall, you still have a better chance of winning."

Muller could tell.

The little jellyfish really has no other attack skills besides eating, otherwise Qiao Bai wouldn't have used his feigned death skill before.

Looking at Su Fang's colorful unicorn.

Su Fang truly lives up to his reputation as a beast tamer specializing in water-attribute pets; his cultivation and arrangement of water-attribute skills for his pets are quite reasonable.

The Rainbow-Patterned Qilin Fish, with its strength at the advanced level of the third tier, had already mastered no fewer than six water-attribute skills, including the advanced water-attribute skill [Water Dragon's Roar], which was an extraordinary feat for a fish of its level.

Su Fang glanced at Qiao Bai.

Qiao Bai chuckled.

Muller, who was completely offline and had no idea what these two were arguing about: "?"

"No? You were fighting right under my nose, weren't you?" Muller said uncertainly, "But why do I have this feeling that you're hiding something from me?"

What happened?

I asked, "What happened?"

In just a few minutes, how did the world and these two people change so drastically?

Right under his nose, they had a tacit understanding that he was unaware of?

Has the world ever stopped?

Otherwise, this matter cannot be explained at all!

"What are you thinking about?" Otherwise, how could we say we're from the same hometown? Su Fang could tell what Muller was thinking at a glance. She looked rather helpless and a little annoyed by Muller's wild imagination, but she still told him about the situation of the rainbow-colored fish after the little jellyfish swallowed it.

Müller, who genuinely knew nothing about it, exclaimed, "!"

Shock!

He abruptly turned his head to look at the little jellyfish that was still happily playing with the rainbow finfish. The movement was so swift that his neck made a "crack" sound.

"I'm not even sure if this inability to use skills is temporary or permanent."

Su Fang looked at Qiao Bai: "Cut your losses in time."

Müller nodded frantically.

Yeah.

Stop loss in time.

That's how it should be.

"It's temporary, don't worry. I can sense that the little jellyfish used this skill for about ten minutes," Qiao Bai reassured the frightened Su Fang.

"Furthermore, the stomach capacity of a small jellyfish is also limited."

Yep.

This upper limit is likely to continue to increase.

Two are enough to fill me up now, partly because of one of its amazing abilities, and partly because the little jellyfish had never been full before.

Once the little jellyfish is truly full... Qiao Bai decided to skip over such imaginings and stop scaring himself.

Even though Qiao Bai said that, neither Su Fang nor Muller's expressions were much better.

Ten minutes...

"Ten minutes is enough to affect the course of the battle," Muller said, somewhat speechless. "Ten minutes without being able to use a single skill... Goodness, how many skills would it take to outlast you?"

They were supposed to have a proper fight, but Qiao Bai turned it into a war of attrition.

While casting skills, you also absorb skills.

It all depends on how much the little jellyfish can eat.

So the other side has more skills, right?

Qiao Bai chuckled.

"It's okay, once the little jellyfish learns two combat skills, the battle will end even faster."

Su Fang and Muller exchanged a glance with Qiao Bai.

Listen to this!

Do you think this is something a human would say?

They really want to block Qiao Bai right now.

But what they didn't know was...

Qiao Bai is now facing another problem – if the little jellyfish is to learn skills, should it learn skills with special attributes or water attributes?

However, the little white snake does need to learn water-attribute skills.

Just then.

Suddenly, a "splashing" sound came from the sea not far away.

Qiao Bai's four pets all stopped what they were doing.

Su Fang also turned around abruptly and looked towards the deep sea.

"It seems... a large group of extraordinary creatures is approaching?" Su Fang said uncertainly.

They couldn't see anything from that distance, but the colorful unicorn in the water seemed to sense something. It couldn't keep up its feigned death act any longer, and suddenly raised its belly, its sharp eyes looking towards the deep sea in the distance.

Beneath the deep blue sea, a group of luminous creatures were swimming.

Qiao Bai still didn't recognize what it was.

Both Muller and Su Fang, who grew up by the sea, spoke out loudly in unison.

"A spotted fish!"

"A school of colorful chevrons!"

The spotted fish evolved from the variegated finfish and is an evolved form of the variegated finfish.

However, it is not easy for a variegated fish to evolve into a spotted fish—it must be recognized by an entire group of no less than eight hundred variegated fish—and be the most beautiful and brightly colored variegated fish in the entire group in order to evolve into a spotted fish.

Therefore, after a Beast Tamer contracts with a Rainbow-Patterned Qilin, it is almost impossible for the Rainbow-Patterned Qilin to evolve into a Spotted Fish.

Unless the contract was with a spotted fish from the beginning.

Qiao Bai recalled the evolutionary path of the peculiar Rainbow Scale Fish and couldn't help but feel a sense of感慨 (gǎnkǎi, a feeling of mixed emotions, including nostalgia and sadness).

That's the magic of nature.

There are always strange and bizarre evolutionary methods that leave you completely baffled.

Strength is not the most important factor in wild rainbow bream populations; rather, beauty is as vital as life itself.

Therefore, wild-caught rainbowfish are not very aggressive.

It's a typical case of "it won't offend anyone unless they offend it."

If any group or human thinks it's easy to bully, then be prepared to face the fiercest retaliation from the rainbow bream—except for those that are good-looking.

Yes.

The way the Rainbow-Patterned Qilin Fish forms contracts is also very bizarre. Defeating it is not enough; they require the beast tamer to be good-looking and to meet their aesthetic standards. Otherwise, the Rainbow-Patterned Qilin Fish would rather commit suicide than follow an ugly beast tamer.

There was once a beauty pageant where the colorful cheetah was invited to serve as a judge to evaluate the contestants' beauty.

It's outrageous, yet it contains a few traces of reason.

But what we're seeing now is completely illogical—

Just like Qiao Bai said.

Both the spotted fish and the rainbow bream are the type that guard their own little territory and almost never take the initiative to attack.

But this large group of colorful finned fish, led by the spotted fish, launched an invasion towards the coastline they had never touched before... Qiao Bai personally experienced President Xue Qing's anxiety.

unusual.

Logically and behaviorally, this is abnormal and completely impossible.

"Prepare for battle," Qiao Bai conveyed to Xiao Wu and the others.

Su Fang also instantly released his other three pet beasts.

Ice Mandarin Duck, Longfin Siren, and Two-Headed Jade Entangled all appeared next to the Rainbow-Patterned Scaled Fish.

Meanwhile, Muller released several of his pets.

Sea swans, western sea sirens, star anemones, and spotted fish.

Although there were four pet beasts, Qiao Bai noticed at a glance that the West Sea Sirens and the Spotted Fish, which were already in their complete forms, were both at the advanced level of the fifth rank and had the potential to break through to the sixth rank. The remaining Sea Swan and Star Anemone were at the low and mid levels of the fourth rank, respectively.

They are few in number, but all of them are quite powerful.

"Prepare for battle!"

The playful expression vanished from Muller's face, and his gaze turned grave as he watched the vast expanse of dark, colorful finned fish getting closer and closer to the shore, now only 800 meters, 700 meters... and becoming visible to the naked eye. His expression grew increasingly grim.

"Could you let the spotted fish communicate with the other side?" Qiao Bai asked quickly.

"It's no use." Muller replied quickly to Qiao Bai without even turning his head: "We've encountered star anemones and poisonous anemones before, and communication is completely ineffective; they only attack."

Elimination is the only solution.

Qiao Bai sighed.

Ok.

This shortcut is no longer available.

As the group of spotted fish had already broken through the 500-meter mark, they could see more clearly just how large a group it was.

Unlike the previous invasions of five or ten ships along the coastline.

This group could be counted in hundreds or thousands at a glance!

Both Müller and Suarez are under immense pressure.

They weren't even sure if they could stop this wave, or if they should call for help immediately!

Muller quickly pressed the distress alarm in his pocket, and the signal quickly traveled to the Beast Taming Alliance in Lingbo City.

The entire Beast Taming Alliance was alarmed.

Hundreds of extraordinary creatures have invaded?

go go go go go!

hurry up!

A battle is about to break out on the coast!

"freeze!"

"Water bomb!"

"Sprint at high speed!"

"The waves are crashing!"

……

Muller and Su Fang both looked like they had plenty of combat experience, and Qiao Bai also commanded his four pet beasts to join the battle without showing any weakness.

Fireball!

Shadow Invasion!

Dragon's Might!

As for the baby jellyfish... eat them! Eat them to your heart's content!

The other pets are responsible for attacking, while the little jellyfish is responsible for absorbing every single skill of the opponent when they attack!

Little jellyfish: "!"

The little jellyfish was so excited when it heard Qiao Bai's instructions that its eight tentacles almost got tangled up.

Little jellyfish: I've never seen so much food before!

Eat! Eat!

Amidst a flurry of colorful energy waves, the little jellyfish buried itself in its food, devouring everything in sight... and before it knew it, it had accidentally acquired one of its own kind's skills.

"Wait? Why can't I use the Sea Swan's Gentle Kiss?"

"My Longfin Siren's Waves are unusable now..."
