Chapter 60 - 60: Breaking through Two Ranks (Seeking More Reads!)
“He has the ability to identify, so he should have felt my sincerity at this moment.” Margaret Yule glanced down at the beautiful Star Ring she wore on her soft fingers.
To be honest, this was the first time she met such an outstanding newbie Trainer in Waterland City!
Even though his Talent wasn’t Strengthen, he was able to form a Contract successfully with a Coldjade Snake and awaken the Pet to Fresh Level X in just a month.
Not only did his Coldjade Snake gain strength quickly, but the skills it showed during the competition also reached a masterful level.
If judged by this year’s Beastmaster’s Examination’s admission standards, such a genius would be more than enough to enter the Eight Academies.
With nine months to go before next year’s exam, if he can continue making such leaps in progress, he might soar directly to the sky and enter Flowery Kingdom’s Big Five.
As the daughter of Yule family in Waterland, Margaret knew very well the terrifying value of Flowery Kingdom’s Big Five!
She murmured in a low voice, “Can I catch you, Mr. Jones?”
At this point, Margaret’s open and soft palm suddenly clenched tightly into a fist, as if grasping something.
Meanwhile, David Jones, who was sitting not far from the Snow Pool, brightened his eyes and directly used the Identify skill on the ring in front of him.
[Primary Star Ring]: Class II spatial arcane implement, the Rune Circle drawn on the ring, and the Void Stone embedded at the top can be used to collect the dungeon cores. Its internal space is vast, with a capacity of approximately one thousand cubic meters.
David exclaimed in his heart: “The original price of 500,000 Star coins? This price might not even cover the change for this Star Ring!”
The value of the ring itself is pretty average, as a Primary Star Ring only costs 500,000 Star coins in the market. What’s most precious is actually the extra Void Stone embedded at the top of the ring.
A burst of heat flashed in David’s eyes, although he didn’t know the exact price of the Void Stone at the moment.
However, he knew that anything capable of holding dungeon cores was a treasure, and the price of 250,000 Star coins was practically a giveaway. “Should I give it back?”
After pondering with a furrowed brow for a moment, David reluctantly shook his head. Although he knew the ring was Margaret’s sugar-coated bullet, he still couldn’t bear to refuse it.
After all, it was a transaction made willingly by both parties, and he wouldn’t spit out the successfully swallowed spoils. If he owed her a favor, then so be it! He would repay it later.
With this thought, David’s brow gradually relaxed, and he couldn’t help but feel more sympathetic towards Margaret.
Recently, some minor factions offered him low benefits and many requirements when trying to recruit him, which he found very annoying.
In contrast, Margaret’s move was a royal flush, hitting straight to David’s heart.
After quickly forming a blood pact with the Star Ring, David successfully got rid of the slightly conspicuous backpack on him.
“This spacious new home is sure to please Rainbow.”
Looking at the Star Ring in his hand, David couldn’t help but sigh as he hurriedly sat down to cultivate.
“Squawk!” A joyful cry woke up David, who was absorbed in his cultivation.
He opened his eyes and then glanced dissatisfied at the direction the sound came from.
Above the misty Snow Pool, an Azurefrost Falcon with blue and white stripes was circling at lightning speed, occasionally emitting a cry.
Seeing something, the falcon landed directly in front of David, and its sharp eyes glared at him with a provocative expression, eager to test its limits.
“You actually remembered me; it seems that the impression Rainbow left on you last time in battle was quite profound!”
David laughed. He didn’t expect the falcon to hold a grudge and now wanted to get its revenge.
With a slight thought in his mind, the information about the Azurefrost Falcon appeared in his mind.
[Pet Name]: Azurefrost Falcon
“Pet Type”: Ice
“Species Level”: Superior
“Grade”: Fresh Level IX
“Pet Potential”: Purple SS tier
As expected, using external objects to enhance the strength of a Fresh pet does not make any difference to its strength.
However, the effect of Mount Heaven’s Snow Pool on increasing potential is quite impressive, allowing its potential to be raised by two minor tiers consecutively.
Before entering the Snow Pool, Rainbow’s pet potential was just Purple SS tier. It seems that there’s a huge gap in the pet’s potential between Purple and Golden.
Despite the deepening foundation of Rainbow under the Strengthening of his Dragon Force and its high efficiency in learning skills, it still failed to break through this obstacle.
“Perhaps Rainbow can give me a surprise this time.” David Jones couldn’t help but look at the misty Mount Heaven’s Snow Pool, secretly hoping in his heart.
Seeing David Jones ignore him, the Azurefrost Falcon’s eyes flashed with anger as it called out angrily.
“Roar!!!” (Where’s your little snake?!)
“She is still taking a bath inside. It might take a while before she can fight you.” David Jones smiled and replied casually.
His psychic cultivation was decent, and with the two talents of Identify and Dragon-Wielding, communication with pets could be simple.
“Roar, roar, roar…” (Then I’ll wait for her to come out. I’m definitely going to win this time!)
“Alright, if you want to lose again.” Looking at the excited Falcon in front of him, David Jones smiled faintly.
As the saying goes, even when hitting a dog you should watch its owner. This Falcon was Margaret Yule’s pet.
David Jones was still wearing a new Star Ring on his finger at this moment, feeling good and not bothering to argue with the scruffy bird.
“Alright, come over here.”
Upon hearing this, David Jones turned to look at Margaret Yule who was approaching leisurely from a distance. In the next second, the Falcon landed on her shoulder.
“I’m sorry for the trouble. Bluny is just a little too competitive.” Margaret looked at the Falcon, then her gaze inadvertently swept past David Jones’ hand, and her delicate face showed a faint smile.
From the beginning, she has always had high expectations for David Jones’ potential, even though he was a strange guy.
“It’s fine, quite cute actually!” David Jones politely replied.
He figured out that Margaret’s true love seems to be the Coldjade Snake and she apparently doesn’t like the Azurefrost Falcon which has been contracted to her family for generations.
Even though she knew that her pet had finished strengthening in the Snow Pool, she chose to come now.
The Falcon wasn’t any better, not hurrying to share the good news with its Trainer, instead becoming competitive with this stranger.
“Let’s go, Bluny, let’s explore the Dungeon.” Margaret smiled and said.
“Roar…” (I want to fight that snake one more time!)
“One more time?” Margaret still had a smile on her face.
The Falcon’s body stiffened suddenly: “Roar.” (Never mind, let’s go.)
Margaret then turned to David Jones, “There’s limited time, you stay with Rainbow while I go treasure hunting.”
As she and the Falcon gradually became a speck in the sky, David Jones chose to continue sitting and cultivating.
Before settling in cultivation, he was somewhat expectant—whether Rainbow could take that crucial step in Mount Heaven’s Snow Pool!</p
