Trainer on Dragon's Back

"You're back too early." Bai Ze dusted off his hands.

"What do you mean?" Jiang Bei was suddenly confused.

"Diamond Steelix still has a new skill that he hasn't learned yet, but judging by the current situation, it doesn't matter whether he learns it or not." Bai Ze just saved himself the trouble.

"Don't worry, Diamond Steelix must learn. After all, this opportunity is rare. Please be merciful and teach it again." Jiang Bei became anxious when he heard this and pleaded incoherently.

"But it won't self-destruct or explode. I can't teach it even if I want to." Bai Ze adheres to the principle of doing his best, but is limited by the conditions.

"Wait, did you just say Big Bang?"

"Yes, self-destruction is also fine."

"I remember that these two skills are suicide skills. If used in conjunction with the skin characteristics, the power is quite terrifying." Jiang Bei muttered.

"If you want to use it with Diamond Skin, that's not impossible. Although Crystal Skin automatically upgrades to Diamond Skin after Diamond Steelix evolves, it still retains all the effects of Crystal Skin and also has the potential for in-depth development." Bai Ze emphasized.

"Diamond skin can be developed?"

“Yes, that’s what makes it unique.”

"Which one should we do first?"

Jiang Bei didn't know whether he should find a way to make Diamond Steelix learn to self-destruct or explode, or immediately start developing Diamond Steelix's diamond skin.

Seeing that he was in such a dilemma, Bai Ze simply suggested that he should develop Diamond Steelix's diamond skin first, and put aside learning self-destruction or big explosion for the time being. After the diamond skin was fully developed, he could come back to create the second skill.

How to deeply develop diamond skin?

Jiang Bei had no idea at all.

He whispered to himself the specific effects of this feature.

The first is immunity to the damage and effects of water-attribute skills. You can recover blood on rainy days, you can recover blood when hit by water-attribute skills, and you can passively recover blood by soaking in water. However, you will not lose blood in clear weather or when hit by fire-attribute skills.

Equivalent to dry skin minus its side effects.

Steel is already twice as weak to fire.

Diamonds are afraid of fire.

Although not real diamonds.

But diamond-like crystals.

Still afraid of fire.

If the side effect is not removed, the fire will be three times weaker. In that case, there will be no point in developing crystal skin before. Why not just continue to use the dry skin properties?

Crystal was originally designed on the basis of dry skin, but its side effect of losing blood was removed, and a function of passively restoring blood by soaking in water was added. In addition, it can automatically transform rock attribute skills into crystal attribute skills, increasing the power by 20%.

Therefore, the second is that after evolution, the crystal skin is upgraded to diamond skin, and the rock attribute skills are automatically transformed into diamond attribute skills.

At this time, Jiang Bei was very confused.

What are the properties of crystal?

What are the properties of diamond?

The reason why he has no clue.

It’s because I don’t understand this.

"Can you explain this to me?" Jiang Bei asked.

"Whether it is the crystal attribute or the diamond attribute, they are all advanced attributes of the rock attribute, and are still rock attributes in essence." Bai Ze answered.

"Since they all have rock attributes, what's the point of creating crystal attributes and diamond attributes? Diamond Steelix doesn't have rock attributes anyway." Jiang Bei couldn't figure out the secret. It seemed that he only knew that ordinary Onix had rock attributes.

Crystal Onix is ​​a Steel Land.

No rock properties.

Therefore, you cannot enjoy attribute bonuses.

"What would happen without the rock attribute?" Bai Ze asked back.

"Unable to enjoy the attribute bonus..." Jiang Bei had just answered halfway when he suddenly opened his eyes wide, as if he had vaguely understood the truth.

Yes, Diamond Steelix cannot enjoy the attribute consistency bonus by simply using rock attribute skills. At this time, it needs to automatically transform it into a stronger crystal attribute or diamond attribute, so that it can gain a slight increase in strength.

There was a reason why Bai Ze instructed Jiang Bei to name the characteristic of Crystal Onix as Crystal Skin, because it can transform rock attribute skills into crystal attribute skills.

Follow this line of thought.

The same goes for Diamond Skin.

After sorting it out.

Jiangbei suddenly realized.

He knows how to develop deeply.

The key lies in the improvement of skill power.

The original crystal skin transforms rock attribute skills into crystal attribute skills, increasing their power by 20%. After two hours of intensive development, the diamond skin transforms rock attribute skills into diamond attribute skills, increasing their power by 30%.

20% → 30%

The improvement is not significant.

But the attack damage has increased.

After all, diamond skin is slightly stronger than crystal skin.

This damage increase is very reasonable.

Jiang Bei said this with satisfaction.

"Is that it?" Bai Ze twitched the corner of his mouth.

"Didn't you say deep development? I did as you said and indeed increased the damage of the rock attribute skills." Jiang Bei looked puzzled.

"Do you need me to remind you which genetic skills Diamond Steelix has?" Bai Ze was really tired. A normal trainer should think of that skill.

"I know that Diamond Steelix's inherited skills include wide-area defense, turning into a circle, rolling and double-bladed head hammer...wait, double-bladed head hammer!!!" Jiang Bei finally noticed the double-bladed head hammer, a rock-attribute skill.

If it is transformed into diamond properties.

So what will happen?

As far as he knows.

This move has a great counter-injury.

It is much more terrifying than sacrificing one's life to charge into the enemy.

The self-sacrifice charge can counteract 1/3 damage, while the double-edged head hammer can counteract 1/2 damage. Without the hard head feature, it is recommended not to use this move.

Jiangbei's Boskodora happens to have a hard head, so it can use the double-edged head hammer unscrupulously, but Diamond Steelix is ​​different. It has never touched the double-edged head hammer before it evolved. It is no wonder that Jiangbei forgot this trick.

This was really a wake-up call. He immediately let Diamond Steelix use the double-edged head hammer, and then took the opportunity to transform this move from rock attribute to diamond attribute.

This collision was truly terrifying. Jiang Bei was afraid that the Diamond Steel Snake would suffer a great counterattack, but who knew that the stone was smashed to pieces, while the diamond body remained intact.

Damn it?

No counter-injury?

How is this going?

Three question marks appeared in Jiangbei.

Obviously, this phenomenon is incomprehensible.

Therefore, he could only cast a curious look at Bai Ze and asked hesitantly: "Did you know that Diamond Steelix would not be hurt when using the double-edged head hammer?"

Bai Ze spread his hands helplessly and said that he was just guessing, because Diamond Steelix not only has diamond skin, but also a diamond body and a diamond head. The whole body is composed of diamond-like crystals, and the latter two have the special effects of a strong and hard head.

The body of diamond is extremely strong.

Diamond head is extremely hard.

It turns out.

Bai Ze's guess was correct.

A diamond body cannot be knocked down by one blow.

Diamond Head is immune to counterattack.

Even though Diamond Steelix's characteristic is Diamond Skin, the effects of Diamond Body and Diamond Head will still take effect simultaneously.

This is why it does not suffer any counterattack damage when using the double-edged hammer, because the diamond head protects it from rebound damage in the process.

"Ahaha, Diamond Steelix can use the double-edged head hammer without restraint from now on." Jiang Bei happily hugged Bai Ze and patted him on the back.

"Ahem, let go!"

Bai Ze was almost beaten to internal injuries.

I shouldn't have reminded this guy.

Diamond Steelix is ​​simply a terrifying diamond monster.

If it is cultivated well, it may become an existence that is even more powerful than Shiny Metagross. Of course, the premise is that this thing can also mega evolve.

Simply put, what makes it scary is that its characteristic is diamond skin, and it also has two special abilities similar to a strong and hard head, a diamond body and a diamond head. The characteristics and special abilities can coexist and are not contradictory at all.

"Thanks to you, otherwise it would be difficult for me to discover this secret." Jiang Bei's mouth was almost stretched to his ears, showing how happy he was.

"Calm down. Even if you don't suffer counterattack, the damage of Boskodora using the double-bladed head hammer is much higher than that of Diamond Steelix using the double-bladed head hammer. You should understand what I mean." Bai Ze really didn't want to hit him.

"I understand. Boskodora has an attribute consistency bonus, but Diamond Steelix doesn't. Even if this move is transformed from rock attribute to diamond attribute, the power will only be increased by 30%, which is not as good as the 50% power increase from the attribute consistency bonus." Jiang Bei understood it immediately.

But even so, Diamond Steelix can crush ordinary Steelix. It has the same strength as ordinary Steelix and the same hard head as ordinary Steelix. Although it does not have the strength that ordinary Steelix has, the 30% power increase after converting rock attribute skills to diamond attributes is exactly the same as strength.

Diamond skin ≈ forced?

It's amazing!

Sometimes you can't think too much.

If you think about it carefully, you will find that thieves are scary.

With the trump card of Diamond Steelix, Jiang Xiaobei's strength will be greatly improved, and ordinary Steelix will not be enough.

After in-depth development, Jiang Bei planned to wait for Ami to deal with the challengers outside, and then ask her for advice to see if he could make Diamond Steelix learn to self-destruct or explode.

He was kind of looking forward to his second self-created skill.

How could I miss this opportunity?

Bai Ze finally agreed to help train Diamond Steelix a little, so why not take this opportunity to acquire two self-created skills in one go.

It would be a waste if you don't hug this thigh.

Leisurely afternoon time.

Sit down and have some tea.

Isn't it beautiful?

Diamond Steelix suddenly ran over.

Ran to Bai Ze excitedly.

He called out "Master" respectfully.

"Why do you call me Master?" Bai Ze frowned.

"Abei said, if you teach me something, then I must call you master." Diamond Steelix also thinks so. Since there is no chance to be Bai Ze's elf, then he will be Bai Ze's apprentice. With a master protecting him, he will not have to worry about not having a broad road ahead in the future.

"Don't believe what Jiang Xiaobei says. Just be a good elf and don't try to act like humans." Bai Ze lay on the rattan chair and rocked slowly.

"Being an elf doesn't affect my calling you Master, so just allow me to do that! Otherwise, I don't know how to report back to Abei." Diamond Steelix looked at Bai Ze pitifully. It was really hard to resist when such a big guy started to act coquettishly.

"Okay, go back and tell Jiang Xiaobei that this is the only time. Don't even think about asking other elves to do the same to you next time." Bai Ze sighed lightly.

"Roger that!"

It ran away happily.

Just like a kid getting lucky money.

Even though he is nearly fifty years old.

But for Diamond Steelix, it had just begun to enter its prime age. After all, it was still Crystal Onix at the time, and its growth cycle was much longer than that of ordinary Onix, so living for hundreds of years was almost no problem.
