BXBX NOVEL Chapter 21 - 21: Mastery of Cold Breath
Returning to his room, David Jones looked at the elixir in his hand, happy and ecstatic. The old healer’s mention of “backlash” had awakened David from his blindness.
Maybe it was because he had awakened two talents that there were problems with the creation process of the Dragon Force last night, and the conflict between the two talents made it impossible for him to control the Dragon-Wielding Power.
David could vaguely feel that “perhaps as his Arcane Star levels up, the gradual enhancement of the Identify and Dragon-Wielding powers of the two talents would cause conflict, and strong psychic power might be able to suppress the backlash of his talents.”
Fortunately, that day, he had persisted with a firm will!
A smile was on David’s face, as he felt really lucky today.
Going out to buy medicine and encountering a reclusive mystical doctor to enlighten him, and even provide a solution.
He could thank Rainbow for that. She was truly a lucky star; otherwise, he wouldn’t have gone out to buy medicine today.
He remembered the name and location of the pharmacy vividly, so he could go back to seek guidance from the mystical doctor if he encountered problems in the future.
There were ten elixirs in a bottle of Rejuvenation Elixir.
David moved his slightly numb body slowly and poured an adequate amount of Vitality Powder into hot water. He then swallowed it together with the Rejuvenation Elixir.
After taking the medicine, he couldn’t help but shudder, feeling his body gradually heating up and his strength and energy recovering rapidly.
Wow, is the effect of the medicine so fast?
David was somewhat surprised. As the saying goes, “you get what you pay for”, the power was indeed continuously surging from various parts of his body.
An hour later, David nodded in satisfaction. Although there was still some lingering pain on his forehead, he felt that he was fine now.
He closed his eyes and meditated, sensing his current state, and could now undergo at least four more Strengthening sessions.
He activated his Arcane Force and summoned Rainbow from the Star Ring.
“Ah!”(V^V#)
Rainbow still looked angry, deliberately looking away, but David keenly noticed the slightest upward curve at the corners of her mouth. She was obviously quite happy at this moment.
David apologetically stroked her head and then continued with the unfinished Strengthening.
Rainbow tilted her small head habitually, feeling the familiar sensation of becoming stronger.
If she continued to be Strengthened like this, she would soon advance to Class l! And then she could eat all those delicious red dragon crystals saved up.
Her snake mouth slightly opened, her tongue flicking lightly, and she blinked her pale blue pupils, showing an incredibly happy expression.
Rainbow: (~ —~
David sensed Rainbow’s inner thoughts and frowned slightly.
This little guy’s thoughts are dangerous. It’s not easy for me to make a Dragon Crystal!
Directly asking for everything, what about her future partners? She can’t be allowed to develop the habit of monopolizing things.
“Half of the Dragon Crystals go to you, and the other half go to me. Partners need to learn to share.”
“Yi” (Alright)
Rainbow nodded without any objection, looking indifferent. As long as it wasn’t related to the number of Strengthening sessions, she was open to negotiation.
However, after being Strengthened, she also discovered a communication trick.
That was to treat David with a firm attitude, and don’t show a good face to the Trainer in front of her. Otherwise, it would be easy for her to have her Strengthening sessions deducted. Today’s Strengthening sessions were almost taken away by the big villain in front of her!
David’s face instantly fell, this little one didn’t know that by concentrating his thoughts, he could sense her inner ideas, and she even dared to slander him in her heart!
This little cotton-padded jacket was no good. It had just been Strengthened, and a few seconds later, it already started to leak!
“Don’t you know that through our contract we can communicate thoughts? I’m at fault today, but please stop entertaining those weird ideas!”
David Jones had a strange look on his face, not expecting that his actions tonight had left such a bad impression on her.
“Ah!”(#/.#)
Rainbow, whose thoughts were uncovered, stiffened her body and disappeared from David’s sight after letting out a sharp scream. She dove directly into the quilt.
“Alright, everything that needed to be strengthened is done, you should rest too. We have to wake up early for training tomorrow.”
David could only reluctantly urge.
This little girl always likes to curl up lazily in bed. He didn’t know what she was up to, but just being in bed without sleeping seemed to make her happy.
“Yi.” (Alright)
A muffled response came from under the quilt.
David, following the old healer’s advice, began his Calm Mind cultivation tonight.
For the sake of his beloved pets, he decided to start a health plan from tomorrow.
The next morning was a beautiful autumn day with a clear sky—a perfect day for training.
On the Primary Ice Training Ground within the Trainer Guild.
A delicate, white Jade Serpent was moving at high speed across the snowy ice field. Surprisingly, even at such a fast pace, the Cold Breath she continuously exhaled could precisely hit the target one by one, raising a large amount of crystal clear ice.
Rushing towards the rock, Rainbow’s tail smacked the ground forcefully. Her muscles contracted violently with the force, sending her petite body catapulting into the air like a spring.
An faint blue Arcane Force was pulled around in the air by her rolling body. The ice crystal on her head also shone a cold blue light. Her snake mouth opened slightly, gathering a large blue light ball.
The next second, the light ball turned into a blue and white energy beam, hitting the rock.
The rock was directly frozen into a large ice block by the energy beam. Countless small cracks appeared on the ice covering it instantly.
With two loud bangs, the entire large rock shattered into many fragmented ice blocks, creating an ice storm.
“How do you feel now? Have you remembered that feeling?”
Watching the dramatic landscape changes caused by Rainbow’s Cold Breath, David said excitedly.
“Yi…” Z(O_O;) (So tired…)
After releasing that attack, Rainbow seemed exhausted. She swayed her head weakly.
“It’s fine, rest for a while. Your progress in the cold breath skill today is very good. Try to recall the feeling of releasing the Cold Breath just now.”
“Grasp that feeling until you can steadily release such a Cold Breath multiple times, then you have perfectly mastered an Excellent-Level Cold Breath!” David encouraged Rainbow.
Generally speaking, the Great-Level Cold Breath could only freeze and restrict enemies, while an Excellent-Level Cold Breath could instantly explode the ice on the enemy’s bodies while freezing, causing considerable damage.
The difference between Great and Excellent was only one level, but the effects they could create were worlds apart.
“Yi yi.” (No problem.)
David originally thought it would take at least a week of hard work for Rainbow to reach an Excellent-Level Cold Breath.
But he didn’t expect that Rainbow could actually shrink the practice time to two days.
Practicing skills was not a simple matter.
Although Cold Breath was just a Class I ice skill, ordinary pets would need to spend at least half a year to master it at an Excellent level.
Even for a Cold jade Snake, compared with the information David had consulted, Rainbow’s progress was truly astonishing!
David secretly pondered in his heart, “Could it be that the increased potential from dragon-wielding includes all aspects of a pet’s potential? Or is Rainbow actually a genius in skill cultivation?”
