Beast taming, starting from zero point-Chapter 1073 - 833: Holy Sword (Two in One)

Qiao Sang immediately noticed that Gangbao had gained a new trait called spiritual power.

Her first reaction was: Why does this trait feel like it specifically counters Little Treasure Hunter?

Little Treasure Hunter had been working tirelessly on honing its sense of pressure, and now Gangbao awakened a trait that makes it immune to pressure?

But fortunately, Little Treasure Hunter wasn’t training its sense of pressure specifically to deal with Gangbao; otherwise, it would have surely cried its heart out...

Qiao Sang shifted her gaze downward and saw the skills section, noting that Gangbao had awakened three skills.

Sword Dance, Feather Perch, Holy Sword. freёwebnoѵel.com

She didn’t show much of a reaction.

Yaobao and the others typically awakened three skills steadily with each evolution.

Sword Dance, a normal-type high-level skill, involves intensely dancing to build momentum, thereby greatly boosting its attack power.

Gangbao’s Sharpness trait already enhances the power of slicing-type moves, and paired with Sword Dance, it might exhibit mid-General-level attack power once it fully reaches the General-level.

Qiao Sang felt satisfied as she reviewed the next skill.

Feather Perch, a mid-level skill for flight-type pet beasts, is one of the rare recovery-type skills for flight creatures. Using this skill, a pet beast lands on the ground to rest and recovers half of its overall condition.

However, full recovery isn’t instant; it takes time, and the duration depends on the skill proficiency and the pet beast’s level.

In battles, brief ground landings for flight-type pet beasts are fine, but staying grounded for extended periods invites attacks, making this skill somewhat impractical for combat.

Especially in high-level tournaments, who would allow a flight-type pet beast to stay on the ground for more than a second?

Qiao Sang looked at the final skill, Holy Sword, and thought to herself, "What a grandiose skill name..."

She mulled over it for a long time, yet couldn’t recall anything related to this skill name from her knowledge reserves.

Sighing inwardly, Qiao Sang lamented her insufficient learning and returned her attention to reality, where her first sight was Billet continuously marveling and touching Gangbao, while Gangbao stood stiffly, looking numb.

Noticing that her Beast Tamer seemed to have snapped out of thought, Gangbao immediately shot a pleading look in her direction.

"Transform back," Qiao Sang mentally said, barely suppressing a laugh.

The next second, Gangbao eagerly shrank down and reverted to its Gangzhan Giant Falcon form.

Billet, still not satisfied with his observations, turned and asked, "Why has it reverted?"

Qiao Sang coughed lightly, maintaining her composure as she replied, "The bond’s power isn’t stable enough yet, so it can’t maintain this form for long."

"Gangzhan."

Gangbao nodded.

Billet didn’t doubt her explanation but showed a hint of regret in his eyes.

Soon, he adjusted his expression and said with a smile, "I was just saying it might be a long time before I see Gangzhan Giant Falcon’s evolved form, and yet, the next moment, it evolved. For a newly developed bond to be able to autonomously control evolution like this—it’s already remarkable."

Qiao Sang sighed wistfully, "In the previous two stages, temporary bond evolution was relatively easier."

Gangzhan Giant Falcon has already evolved into a General-level pet beast with bond power—you’re still worrying about how effortless bond evolution is... Billet resisted the urge to comment and changed the subject:

"Have you thought of a name for the evolved form of Gangzhan Giant Falcon?"

Qiao Sang struck a thoughtful pose, then raised her head, pretending she had just come up with an idea: "Steel Sword Falcon—I think it sounds pretty good."

"How about Steel Helmet Falcon? Its evolved form is almost entirely covered in armor—it feels more fitting," Billet suggested.

Qiao Sang maintained her calm expression and replied, "But when Gangbao first evolved, it called out ’Steel Sword.’"

Billet immediately switched sides: "Then it should be named Steel Sword Falcon. The vocalizations of most pet beasts usually align with one of their traits. Now that I think about it, Steel Sword Falcon’s feathers do resemble swords."

Steel Sword Falcon, Holy Sword... Qiao Sang recalled the skill listed and was tempted to inquire further but chose caution and held her tongue.

Considering the critical timing right after evolution, if she admitted to not knowing the skill and asked about it, then Gangbao later demonstrated the skill—it would certainly arouse immense suspicion.

Lately, Billet had been observing Yaobao and the others diligently training; he already realized they were unusually gifted. Thankfully, his understanding remained within the realm of "exceptional natural talent." After all, Yaobao and the others were indeed far more hardworking than the majority of pet beasts.

Talent paired with diligence resulting in steady progress is understandable. But if she stirred further curiosity by questioning the Holy Sword skill, anyone analyzing it would surely realize something was off.

"Do we have any tasks today?" Qiao Sang shifted the topic away from Gangbao.
