章 35: Heaven Abyss and Sea Abyss
編集者: Atlas Studios
Su Bai put down his phone and took a break as he prepared himself to read. Reading was not considered boring by him, for only when he was ready could he go to riskier places in the future. Thus, he was more than happy to do this.
Although he could see pet information with his interface, he understood that that thing was like looking at a mobile phone; he could become overly dependent on it. If that was the case, he might become a useless person rather than a strong one.
Humans could use tools, but they could not be used by tools.
Regarding the design of the future manor at the reservoir, Su Bai had left it for the Cannes Trainer Association to handle. He had also asked them to help provide some rare spiritual seeds.
Of course, this was not because of his master's contacts but himself. The new catalytic process of the Ghost Blade Mantis, which he had done during the experiment, proved worthy, and he had given the formula for it to the association.
His matter was considered trivial by the association.
His parents, who were busy building the manor, were out these days, so only the two brothers were usually at home.
After making a casual dinner, both went back to their rooms to do their things.
Su Bai proceeded to study the information provided by Gao An. It was information not available on the market, and the content was unmatched by any that was provided to the general public.
Su Bai checked the information on large monsters like the Kraken. He learned that, besides it, there were other large monsters like trolls and abyssal dragons. However, the records of such monsters were from more than a decade ago, and now, there were almost no new sightings. Hence, the Kraken was believed to have gone extinct by now.
"At the Heaven Abyss, one of the ten largest cracks in the world, have the Abyss Dragon and Kraken appeared before?"
Su Bai flipped through the information and became even more immersed the further he read. The space cracks, large and small, were located in China's original Kunlun Mountains, which was the Heaven Abyss.
It was said that, a hundred years ago, there was a Kunlun Mountain which stretched for countless miles. However, shortly after the spiritual energy rejuvenation, a large spatial crack appeared and swallowed it into a bottomless hole, and this was known now as the Heavenly Abyss.
In the past, countless terrifying monsters, including the Abyss Dragons, Trolls, and Krakens, had flown out of this crack.
Although that large crack was gradually quieting now, it was still one of the most dangerous and terrifying cracks in the country. It was no less inferior to Sea Abyss, which was located at the bottom of South China Sea and was also among the world's top ten cracks.
The more he looked at the information, the more he wanted to go inside a space crack and check things out. Unfortunately, he must at least be a monarch Pet Tamer to be eligible to enter the Heaven Abyss; also, it was too far away from his present location.
If he wanted to capture powerful pets like the Kraken and the Abyss Dragon, he would have to work extremely hard.
The cub was also reading beside him; it was looking at the wood-attribute cultivation book and had finished one-third of it with relish.
Time passed by. The owner-pet duo woke up very early the next morning, climbing out of bed just after 5 a.m.
"Howl! o(≧口≦)o"
The cub rubbed its eyes, feeling quite sleepy. It grumbled and wondered why Ah Bai could not go running by himself.
Su Bai had already expected the cub to be unhappy with waking up so early, so he took out the long-prepared breakfast for it. This was the first appearance of this new set meal. The fragrance of the jade potion instantly turned the cub into a small gluttonous kitten, its drowsiness dispersing at once.
"Howl! Ψ( ̄∀ ̄)Ψ"
After it finished eating, they both left home to exercise, though the cub only accompanied him.
He took a break after exercising for forty minutes and smiled at his pet. "Buddy, it's time to test you. It's up to you whether we can increase our winning rate or not."
"Howl!"
The cub nodded confidently.

Nodding, Su Bai concentrated and summoned the contract book from his consciousness. It materialized and floated in front of him. Although the cub had advanced, the contract book was still a bronze one-star.
Flipping open the contract book, he sent Forest Rhythm's jade skill inside it. A green light flashed and a line of inscriptions appeared on the book.
He tapped it gently and passed it to the cub.
After accepting the detection skill, it squatted on the ground, motionless. Green spiritual energy radiated from it to the surroundings, blending into the flowers and trees.
After a long time, the cub opened its eyes, and the spiritual energy in its body fluctuated. It gently lifted its right paw and then stepped hard, causing a green spiritual lightwave to spread around and eventually merge into the surrounding flowers and trees. It then disappeared, leaving only faint ripples of light under the cub's feet.
"Impressive, buddy. You succeeded in one shot? You're amazing. Is this the terrifying ability of one with ultra wood affinity? I love it!"
Su Bai had not expected the cub to succeed in just one shot. He was still thinking that, in the case that it could not learn the skill, he would let it learn Vegetation Sensing first, but the cub had directly surprised him.
"Howl!( ̄ー ̄)"
The cub raised its head slightly, looking arrogant like a queen. It seemed to be saying, "Ah Bai, who are you to look down on a genius?"
In fact, when the cub registered for the competition last time, it watched a video about wood control. When it was bored, it would study the video again; this was on top of following the cultivation method Master Gao An had given it and possessing ultra wood affinity.
Although it was impossible to reach the level of wood control in the video, using the surrounding vegetation to perform reconnaissance was not particularly difficult.
"You're amazing, buddy! Can you perform it a few more times?"
"Howl!"
The cub stood proudly and activated Forest's Rhythm a few more times, becoming more adept at after every use.
If it could learn Forest's Rhythm, then other rhythms, like grass and wood, would be no problem at all; the cub would understand it quickly.
Now, it could use Forest's Rhythm to detect movement in a 300-meter radius.
It could, meanwhile, use Vegetation Sensing to mark some individual plants, which let it sense a range of 500 to 600 meters.
However, Vegetation Sensing was unlike Forest's Rhythm. It had to be condensed in advance to integrate spiritual power seeds into plants. Also, if the opponent did not touch those seeds, there was no way to detect them.
Thus, while Forest's Rhythm could be said to be a range detector, Vegetation Sensing was a single-point detector. Each had its advantages.
...
"Okay, let's go home, clean up, and head to school."
Su Bai was now completely convinced by his pet. The cub easily getting a good grasp of Forest's Rhythm had truly exceeded his expectation.
School was as a boring affair as ever, but during class, he was called to the office by his English teacher. She asked him about cultivation and took his trainer certificate to apply for relevant certificates.
In the afternoon, he practiced with Chen Rouxue and Yang Zhou. The most important thing was to study tactics and polish their teamwork.
Three days passed in a flash, and it was 6 p.m. on the fourth day when they ended practice.
"Our practice ends here, for tomorrow is the competition; our success depends on this," Su Bai said.
"Yeah, I suddenly have some confidence. Even if the opponent has a warlord-level pet, we may still have a chance of winning. You're really merciless."
Chen Rouxue joked.
"That's called a trick." He defended himself.
Upon hearing this shameless excuse, Yang Zhou was the first to jump out. "Yeah, right. You're more than merciless; your heart is all black. The legendary master tactician is you."
"Sigh, I shouldn't have told you this. I did it for victory, but you regarded me as such. How could a handsome and sunny man like me be a merciless tactician? Everything in life is just forced and I have no other choice.
"Others laugh at me for being too crazy, while I laugh at others for not understanding, but I didn't expect you two to misunderstand me, too. It's really a nip in the air.
"Forget it; I'm leaving. Leave me be."
Su Bai walked away, his face looking depressed.
Yang Zhou was speechless.
Chen Rouxue was speechless.
They were not at such a level yet.
