Pet Simulator

Chapter 108: Nuclear Explosion Skill, 6A Growth Xiao Jiu

The reckless and foolish Xiao Jiu would occasionally give people some surprises.

However, Wang Ye was not surprised by this result.

Rather than saying it was a huge surprise, it was more of a natural occurrence from the flow of events.

The root of this huge surprise was that mysterious bird.

That mysterious bird had been related to Xiao Jiu since the first simulation.

Only after Xiao Jiu had simulated so many times did it finally come into true contact with the mysterious bird, the hidden boss of the novice village. Thinking about it, it hadn’t been easy for Xiao Jiu to have triggered the plot.

“This is still a matter of fate and opportunities,” Wang Ye thought to himself.

The mysterious bird was Xiao Jiu’s opportunity.

Perhaps Xiao Jiu could’ve triggered the plot with the mysterious bird after its evolution, unfortunately, there hadn’t been a chance for it to simulate since it turned into an egg not long after.

The first thing to look at was naturally the red characteristic.

“To think a mere ten years of education can help Xiao Jiu to develop a red characteristic. It’s truly amazing.”

[Divine Bird’s Education (red): You were once taught by a mysterious and powerful divine bird. It taught you part of its abilities, allowing you to have a sufficient understanding of yourself, thus greatly increasing your intelligence. As a result, your speed in the cultivation of skills and combat techniques will be increased, and you will be able to learn stronger skills and combat techniques. You will also have a chance to comprehend powerful skill profoundness. At the same time, your bloodline has also been enlightened, so you can easily reach the limit and raise the upper limit of your bloodline.]

As expected of a red characteristic.

……

Although the actual effects weren’t frankly set forth, its simple introduction was enough to explain everything.

“This characteristic is much more powerful than Revise and Learn. It had been enlightened…” Wang Ye pondered.

To be able to enlighten Xiao Jiu’s bloodline, the mysterious bird must be some ancient divine beast.

On the other hand, as an upgradeable characteristic, Phoenix Masquerade had also reached the red grade.

[Phoenix Masquerade (red – upgradeable): Because you have been enlightened, coupled with the power of your bloodline, you already possess some hints of a true Phoenix’s aura. It can produce a natural pressure on weaker lifeforms and reduce their abilities. At the same time, you also have a certain charisma, allowing you to become the leader of birds in the sky, while also making some lifeforms on the ground worship you. When you use a skill related to aura, the effects will be increased.]

The whole reason this characteristic could be upgraded was thanks to the mysterious bird as well.

“The related skills should include Intimidation, King’s Prestige, and the sort, right? The additional effect is also astonishing,” Wang Ye smiled in gratification.

Xiao Jiu had been pretending to be a real phoenix for so long. As time went on, its pretense was starting to turn real.

Just a few hints of a true phoenix’s aura were good enough.

Before, it was just a show to make other pets mistake Xiao Jiu for a phoenix.

It didn’t have much practical effect.

But now, it had grown to have practical effects, and very strong ones at that.

“Among the skill options, those with proficiency can be ignored for now. I definitely have to choose the skill, Golden Crow Falls West.”

It was an emperor-grade skill.

Xiao Jiu only had one emperor skill, King’s Prestige, now, and that was more of a supporting skill.

The new skill wasn’t.

It was an offensive skill.

[Golden Crow Falls West: Emperor Light flame-type skill. An imitation of the ancient god’s descent to Earth. All of the spiritual energy and life force in your body will be unleashed, turning into endless light flames, dealing a destructive blow to all life within a large area. This skill is not measured by proficiency. Its power is only linked to your class and combat power. After using it, the user will perish. In order to use this skill, Divine Light Flame Strike needs to reach the peak mastery realm.]

“Isn’t this a self-destruct skill? A large area… nuclear explosion?” Wang Ye raised his eyebrows.

Such a tough skill… it does… really suit Xiao Jiu’s personality.

It was even more monstrous than Divine Light Flame Strike.

Wang Ye found it a bit hard to imagine its power.

It wasn’t measured with proficiency… So Xiao Jiu couldn’t f*cking practice it either.

The user would die after using it just once.

“A nuclear explosion skill. Isn’t the emperor grade too low for this skill? It’s probably because of the severe negative effects. After all, the user will die directly after using it. To have it and not use it is very different from just not having it. Still, I hope it won’t come into use in the future,” Wang Ye sighed.

Why did that mysterious bird pass this skill to Xiao Jiu?

Well, there was no need to think about it. It should probably be because it felt that the skill suited Xiao Jiu, right?

As expected of the mysterious bird, the divine bird indeed taught according to one’s aptitude.

“Last but not least, the most important, combat technique!”

Wang Ye sensed this combat technique.

[Divine Bird Sun-devouring Technique: Emperor-rank combat technique, limited to light flame-type pets with the Scalding Bright Flame. There are a total of nine degrees. For every degree cultivated, it will increase one’s upper limit by one star, spiritual energy upper limit by 50,000, and cultivation speed by onefold. For every three degrees cultivated, it will increase one’s six-dimensional growth for one small grade. Combat Effect: Divine Bird Sun-devouring. The user can absorb the power of light and flame, accelerating the recovery of one’s physical strength and spiritual energy, as well as increasing the power of skills and one’s six-dimensional growth attributes. The effect is related to the degree to which the combat technique is cultivated to and the amount of light flame energy absorbed. When a certain amount of light flame energy is absorbed, the light flame in one’s body will be upgraded.]

As expected of an emperor rank combat technique.

Wang Ye’s eyes bulged as he read the description.

Combat techniques were very important to pets.

The upper limit of many pets made it so that they could only cultivate so much. For example, a Supreme first-class pet could only raise its combat power to two-star level 5.

It would be very difficult for them to go further than their upper limits, and it would be difficult to for them advance even an inch for years.

At this time, if pets cultivated combat techniques, they could help the pets increase their upper limit, such as being able to cultivate to three-star level 5, six-star level 5, and so on.

The effects were especially significant for some key levels. After all, it would be very impressive to break through from level 5 to level 6.

However, combat techniques that could raise the pet’s upper limit were not common.

At the same time, the combat techniques could also improve the upper limit of pets in all aspects, including the upper limit on the spiritual energy value.

If two pets were both at level 3, the pet that had cultivated combat techniques would have a higher spiritual energy value than the pet that hadn’t.

Combat techniques were not measured by proficiency, only by the degree of cultivation.

The more improving effects a combat technique had, the rarer it would be, and the higher its rank.

Low-rank combat techniques would usually only have one effect, middle-rank ones had two, high-rank ones had three, and emperor-rank ones had four.

On top of that, emperor-rank combat techniques might have special battle effects, similar to a continuous super buff.

Such combat techniques were usually the highest-grade emperor-rank combat techniques.

“Combat power and spiritual energy upper limit increased, cultivation speed increased, six-dimensional growth improved, and the combat effect Divine Bird Sun-devouring. The combat effect can accelerate the recovery of strength and spiritual energy, as well as increase the power of skills and six-dimensional growth attributes. It’s too ridiculous. It doesn’t seem to have any flaws at all. As expected of a combat technique that was taught by the divine bird… That mysterious bird is indeed awesome.”

Of course, Xiao Jiu’s experience in summarizing its combat technique experience by practicing the Cloud-swallowing technique for a few decades in the simulation was also a valuable asset.

Otherwise, it would’ve been very difficult for Xiao Jiu to comprehend this technique.

“Characteristics, combat technique, skills, and reality simulation. Now, I can only choose between the 120 years of six-dimensional growth and the proficiency of other skills.”

Based on Xiao Jiu’s experience in these 120 years, its six-dimensional growth must have been strengthened quite a bit.

However, with its current form, there was an upper limit to its six-dimensional growth, which would thus affect the six-dimensional growth obtained from the simulation.

No matter how powerful Xiao Jiu was in the script simulation, in reality, it was only a pet that had yet to break through to level 3.

“If I choose 120 years of six-dimensional growth, I should be able to directly reach the upper limit of Xiao Jiu’s current six-dimensional growth. If I choose skill proficiency, I’ll be able to face the following battle better… If Xiao Jiu hatches and reaches the upper limit of its six-dimensional growth in its current form… It’ll be a brand-new pet compared to before. I’ll choose the six-dimensional growth.”

Wang Ye made his choice and chose the last six options.

The six-dimensional growth of Xiao Jiu, who had yet to hatch, suddenly changed.

[Six-dimensional Growth: Strength (A+), Constitution (A), Agility (A+), Spiritual Resistance (A), Spiritual Energy (A+), Soul (A+)]

“A+ seems to be the limit of the brilliant light sparrow now. If I want to upgrade them to S, I’ll have to wait until its next evolution. Other than Constitution and Spiritual Resistance, everything else has reached the limit. However, if Xiao Jiu can cultivate the combat technique to the third degree and raise its six-dimensional growth by a small grade, then the A+ grade can advance to S-grade growth! It will then be comparable to an Overlord-class pet!” Wang Ye nodded slightly.

The next evolution should still be quite far away. Xiao Jiu would have to at least reach level 4 or 6.

It must be known that for most of the pets outside, having a B-grade growth attribute was already considered very strong at tier 2 evolution…

A-grade growth attributes were six dimensions that many pets could only have after evolving at level 4 or level 6.

Now, Xiao Jiu could be considered a true 6A-grade pet!

“It’s a huge step closer to becoming a 6S-grade.”

After Wang Ye confirmed his selection of rewards, the Xiao Jiu egg immediately changed.

A majestic life force instantly surged.

“Xiao Jiu, use your combat technique!”

In an instant, the flames on the egg burned once again.

The flames in the pond were crazily absorbed by Xiao Jiu.

The egg emitted an intense light, like the sun, attracting boundless spiritual energy.

“It’s not enough… It needs more spiritual energy…” A thought flashed in Wang Ye’s mind, and he looked at the white python. “Can you spit out some of the fruits that you ate earlier?”

The white python thought for a moment, then opened its mouth to spit out a fruit. It crushed the fruit and sprinkled it into the pond. Along with the burning flames, the fruit turned into a pure spiritual energy that gathered on Xiao Jiu’s body.

At the same time, a strange spiritual energy began to spread from the bottom.

As the power of strangeness in the surroundings was rapidly purified by Xiao Jiu’s flames, just as the giant silver tree had said, the divine pond seemed to be surging with a weak life force.

Wang Ye could feel that Xiao Jiu’s spiritual energy was rapidly increasing.

The white python continued spitting out fruits and crushing them while quietly waiting.

After about 500 fruits were crushed and sprinkled into the pond, cracks began to appear on the Xiao Jiu egg.

“It has already broken through to one-star level 3, and its spiritual energy value has soared by 40,000 points. It’s been five hours, but the battle is still ongoing outside.”

Wang Ye did not know how long the giant silver tree could last.

He could only wait quietly.

His spiritual power had been greatly depleted, making it unable for him to recover by just eating supplements. Yet in the current situation, it was a given he couldn’t possibly sleep.

They could only wait for Xiao Jiu.

Time passed bit by bit.

Suddenly, Wang Ye felt that Xiao Jiu’s rate of absorbing spiritual energy had become faster.

“The combat technique has broken through again. Xiao Jiu’s spiritual energy value has broken through the upper limit again.”

Wang Ye remembered that Lu Daying had said that the spiritual energy value limit of a one-star level 3 pet was 100,000 points.

If the upper limit would be raised by 100,000 points for every star, then a pet at the peak of nine-star level 3 would be able to have a spiritual energy value of a million points!

It was rare in this world!

It required a combat technique that was of a high rank and also highly compatible with the pet.
