My beast taming system has absolutely no problems!

Xia Yu smiled and nodded.

Skills training takes place in the backyard of the pet house.

Just as the two were about to walk towards the backyard, a woman's voice suddenly rang out.

"Manager, may I follow behind and take some photos?"

Xia Yu turned his head and saw a beautiful girl with exquisite makeup standing out confidently.

She looked to be in her early twenties, with her hair tied in a high ponytail and dressed in a neat casual outfit.

The girl pointed to the spirit vision machine floating beside her and said, "I'm live streaming, and I have viewers who are fans of Master Fu, so can they follow behind and film me?"

Before Xia Yu could reply, she clasped her hands together and blinked her big, bright eyes.

"Please! I won't make a sound, and I have over 100,000 followers on Pixiv. Can I put your Miaomiao Pet House on my homepage later?"

Xia Yu didn't care. He looked at Fu Nanjiang and asked, "Master Fu, what do you think?"

Fu Nanjiang shrugged, appearing easygoing, and said, "When in Rome, do as the host says."

Xia Yu didn't dislike this girl, and since Fu Nanjiang had agreed, he nodded and said, "Okay, you can come too."

Overjoyed, the girl pressed one hand on the vision device and bowed to Xia Yu together, saying, "Thank you, Manager!"

Psychic Machine: "?"

Should I also say thank you?

After the brief incident, the three went to the backyard.

Xia Yu said to Fu Nanjiang, "Master Fu, please release the pet you wish to learn the skills from."

Fu Nanjiang didn't waste any words. He nodded slightly, and a deep blue six-pointed star array condensed in front of him.

Within the star array, the fluctuations of water elements surged forth like a tide, causing the humidity in the air to rise sharply.

The next second, a massive figure slowly stepped out from the star array.

This is a pet animal that is nearly five meters long and looks very much like a male lion.

It has no hair at all; instead, it is covered with flowing, solidified liquid scales, layer upon layer, giving it a gradient of blue-green hues.

Under direct sunlight, it shimmered like the surface of the sea.

Although its head has a lion-like mane, it is not animal fur, but rather floating, flowing water mist and waves.

Layers of water mist surrounded the neck of this majestic pet, rising and falling gently with its breath.

The raging waves and lions!

Fu Nanjiang's ace pet.

Xia Yu was not about to miss this golden opportunity to collect the Pokédex.

[Pokémon: ***** (Sargasurus)]

Gender: Male

【Attribute: Water/Light】

[Energy Level: 69 (Natural Disaster)]

[Racial Rank: Cataclysm]

【Characteristics: Dry Skin (Immune to Water-type moves; when hit by a Water-type move, recovers 25% of maximum HP; when hit by a Fire-type move, takes 125% damage; recovers 5% of maximum HP per second in rainy weather)】

[Skills: Great Tsunami, Tidal Barrier, Roaring Lion, Heavenly Healing, Myriad Radiant Meteor...]

【Favourability: 0】

[Status: Need to poop...]

Xia Yu: "......"

Brother Lion, if you have something to do, don't take it here...

Perhaps it was because Xia Yu's gaze was a little strange, but Canglan Nutao Lion turned its head and glanced at him.

Those lion eyes were a magnificent golden-blue, and their gaze clearly carried a scrutinizing "What are you looking at?" meaning.

Xia Yu coughed lightly and said, "Master Fu, you only need to teach this pet skill, right?"

Fu Nanjiang replied calmly, "Yes, I'll have Ah Shi teach the other pets when I get back, so it can practice a few more times."

Ten years ago, Master Fu's way of speaking would have been considered sophisticated.

Now people call him by a new name: Jiahao...

Uh, no, Master Fu really does have real skills.

Xia Yu nodded and asked, "By the way, Master Fu, if it's convenient, may I ask you what the special qualities of your Azure Sea Raging Wave Lion are?"

He had just been drawn to Lion's "wanting to poop" state when he realized that its characteristic was actually [dry skin].

No, Lion's skin doesn't look dry at all.

Xia Yu looked at the Canglan Angry Lion, which was full of moisture, and thought to himself.

Fu Nanjiang found Xia Yu's question somewhat strange, but still replied, "Its special name is [Water Avoidance]. It's not very useful; being hit by a water-based attack will restore your health and stamina."

This "it's useless" statement sounds like something out of Versailles.

After all, being attacked by a skill of a certain attribute not only doesn't cause you to lose health, but it also restores health, which seems very powerful.

However, in actual battles, the Azure Raging Lion is a water-attribute pet and is not afraid of water.

Even if a real fight breaks out, no one will use water-based skills to bombard it.

Moreover, unlike the [Water Drain] ability, it won't be able to attract water-type skills.

So it can be considered a perfect example of "looking impressive but actually being useless".

But Xia Yu was secretly alarmed.

The reason it lacks exceptional talent is simply because it hasn't encountered a discerning patron like "Rainy Day".

Another talent that's been buried, just like [Free and Easy]...

To be fair, while the Dry Skin ability isn't used as often in Pokémon battles as Swift Swim, its effects are just as powerful.

In the rain, you recover 1/8 of your health each turn. If you pair it with the item "Leftovers" and are in the "Grassland" area, your survivability will be maximized.

This represents the opposite extreme of the tactical style of "Free and Easy".

"Manager Xia, is there a problem with this [water-avoidance] talent?"

Seeing that Xia Yu had been staring at his Azure Wave Lion for a while without saying a word, Fu Nanjiang took the initiative to ask.

"There's no problem."

Xia Yu shook his head, then said, "However... it should also have some connection with [Rainy Day]."

"Can it be associated with rainy days?"

Fu Nanjiang, who had maintained a cool and aloof demeanor since entering the room, suddenly broke down, revealing an incredulous expression.

"Manager Xia, do you mean...like the unique [Water Breathing] ability of that Azure Sea Dragon?"

As a master-level water-attribute specialized beast tamer.

Fu Nanjiang naturally knew that a simple rainy day wasn't that bad... or rather, not that terrifying.

But when combined with the unique ability of "Water Breathing," the effect becomes an exaggerated one, greater than two.

Now, the Azure Wave Lion, a previously rather useless special ability, seems to be able to connect with [rainy days]?

Xia Yu nodded and said, "That's roughly the idea, but the effect is quite different."

Fu Nanjiang looked solemn. "Manager Xia, please explain in detail."

This master, who held a high position in the Eastern Empire Alliance, unconsciously began using honorifics.

Xia Yu didn't stand on ceremony and continued, "[Water Breathing] is more offensive, while [Water Avoidance] is more defensive. Its effect is to continuously restore the health and stamina of the Azure Raging Lion during rain... at a rate of approximately 5% per second."

Fu Nanjiang: "!"

"Tao Shao??"

The words that were uttered in a terrified voice were not spoken by Master Fu, but by the psychic machine that had been broadcasting live from the sidelines.

The pretty girl quickly said, "I'm sorry! My smartwatch often reads out the most popular comments on the screen. I'm sorry to have disturbed you two!"

No wonder she apologized so quickly; it was already an unexpected bonus that she was able to come and ride the wave of popularity in a live stream.

They said they were just coming in to do a quiet live stream, but then something unexpected happened.

She didn't want to be kicked out just when her popularity was about to break 10+.

However, Fu Nanjiang was clearly not in the mood to care about these things at the moment; he was equally astonished by this outrageous number.

5% per second!

What is this concept?

Lu Weirui's Ironwood Demoness's [Rooting to the Ground] healing effect is only 2% per second.

Although that skill has the additional effect of increasing defense, it has the fatal side effect of making the user unable to move!

And what about dry skin on rainy days?

No side effects!

5% per second!

If the opponent is a pet with insufficient damage output, it might not even deal as much damage as the Azure Raging Lion.

The live stream, which was recording the entire conversation, was going crazy with comments.

[Holy crap, 5% per second! Are we fighting a boss here?!]

[Something even more sinister than "Water Breathing" has arrived; who can withstand this?!]
