360: Chen Qingwei: So, my real path is to be a humanoid pet!

In that case, most witches would be in danger when facing a knight who knows this move!

Especially those low-level witches.

Of course, high-level witches like Lilita, with their Solidified Witchcraft, aren't afraid of such 'sneak attacks'.

It automatically activates solidified witchcraft; basically, solidified witchcraft consists of defensive witchcraft, life-saving witchcraft, and amplification witchcraft.

However... this move is indeed very powerful!

But reacting in time is one thing, being able to block it is another.

"Hmm~ What's wrong with all of you?" Aili asked, looking at the three with different expressions.

"Teacher! This move is too powerful! Too cool! I want to learn it!" Lyas excitedly told Aili.

"Hmm~ Don't have too high expectations! This move requires you to practice diligently to reach my level!

Moreover, the reason it's so strong when I use it is because of my own reasons.

The power of a move, besides the move itself, is largely due to the person using it," Aili said to Lyas.

"The power of a move depends on the person using it? Teacher! I've learned a lot!" Lyas nodded slightly upon hearing Aili's words, understanding their meaning, and nodded excitedly.

"Alright, let's begin! I'll start teaching you this sword technique now," Aili said with a smile to Lyas, then began teaching Lyas the sword technique, while Kenny followed along, learning from the side.

Although Kenny was only 'listening in', Aili would occasionally offer pointers.

Lilita watched for a while, then checked the time: "I'll have someone prepare dinner for you all."

"Okay! Thank you!" Aili said with a smile and a nod.

"No trouble at all!" Lilita said with a smile, then turned and left.

After a night of teaching, Lyas barely managed to get an introduction to Whirlwind Sword.

After dinner.

"Then I'll head back. Lyas, you can practice Star Sword Technique and sword techniques on your own. If you have any questions or need clarification, you can ask me tomorrow," Aili said to Lyas.

"Mm-hmm! Okay!" Lyas nodded in agreement.

Afterward, Aili returned to the Normanya Continent.

.........

Pet Continent.

Chen Qingwei had already obtained the first gym badge.

Her Little Fire Fox had also reached Tier 2.

However, she noticed that her Yu Beast User level didn't seem to have changed much.

This made Chen Qingwei a bit flustered, because two months had already passed, and her Little Fire Fox was already Tier 2, yet her Yu Beast User rank hadn't changed much.

She also didn't seem to feel any sense of promotion.

Do I have no talent as a Yu Beast User?! Chen Qingwei suddenly felt her future was bleak.

Although there were 'heaven-defying geniuses' who could become top-tier powerhouses relying on just one pet.

But that was only a minority, and Chen Qingwei didn't want to rely on just one pet either.

At least two, right! One for possession, one for combat!

If she only had one... then Chen Qingwei would have to consider fighting in possession...

After all, whether it's battling or fighting in the wild... Yu Beast Users have no protection... and are also important targets.

"Ah~" After finishing her training for the day, Chen Qingwei took a shower, then lay sprawled on the bed in her suite at the Pet Center, looking utterly lifeless.

Little Fire Fox jumped onto Chen Qingwei's back, treading back and forth, seemingly massaging Chen Qingwei and comforting the dispirited Chen Qingwei.

Over these past few days, Chen Qingwei had gone from the ambition of challenging for the regional championship, full of confidence, to her current state of 'utter desolation', seemingly only capable of having one pet, a feeling of 'despair'.

Although Chen Qingwei had extraordinary 'fighting talent' since childhood, even during her 'enlightenment education', her teacher praised her fighting ability.

Otherwise, when she first arrived at Black Stone City and encountered that chuunibyou teenager in the wild, even though he was in possession, Chen Qingwei, without possession, was able to react and even use an over-the-shoulder throw to toss him away...

Moreover, Chen Qingwei also had a little secret, which was that she had a very large appetite since childhood, something her family knew.

And then there was her great strength.

The kind with Innate Divine Power...

This was also why she could be undefeated in campus battles during her 'enlightenment' and 'elementary school' years before becoming an adult.

Besides her astonishing fighting talent, there was also the reason of Innate Divine Power.

Chen Qingwei suddenly flipped over and sat up, the Little Fire Fox on her back was flung off, bouncing twice with a 'plop' on the soft bed.

"It seems there's some cultivation method being sold in the group... Maybe..." Chen Qingwei thought, if she really could only have one pet in the future...

Ah! Thinking of this, Chen Qingwei glanced at her panel.

source points: 210,000

Chen Qingwei looked at these source points, opened the system store, and saw what she could buy.

She saw prominent recommendations:

Pet Grade Promotion: 100,000 source points (Limited-time offer)

Fighter I: 10,000 source points

Connection Enhancement: 100,000 source points (Limited-time offer)

Chen Qingwei looked at these three prominent recommended items, two of which had '(Limited-time offer)' marked next to them, and all of them added up to exactly the source points she had...

Chen Qingwei thought for a moment. Although she didn't know why 'Fighter' was mixed in the recommendations, Chen Qingwei decided to buy them all. She still trusted the system!

Chen Qingwei's source points were immediately emptied.

Chen Qingwei directly used Pet Grade Promotion, and Little Fire Fox's grade increased from Excellent to Elite.

Little Fire Fox could clearly feel its power suddenly increasing, and it was an all-around increase, especially its fire-type power.

This made Little Fire Fox very happy, bouncing around excitedly.

Then Chen Qingwei looked at the other two items:

Connection Enhancement: Connects your pet; both parties gain power bonuses from each other. (Special ability, cannot be upgraded)

In other words, after Chen Qingwei used this Connection Enhancement on Little Fire Fox, Chen Qingwei would gain Little Fire Fox's 'power blessing', and besides physical strength, Chen Qingwei would also gain fire power.

And Little Fire Fox would gain Chen Qingwei's 'physical strength'. If Chen Qingwei had any special powers, they would also be 'copied' over.

This was an incredibly terrifying skill!

Chen Qingwei could tell at a glance how powerful this skill was, yet it sold so cheaply! Only 100,000 source points! But thinking it was a (Limited-time offer), Chen Qingwei felt lucky.

Thankfully, during the limited-time offer, she had enough source points to buy it!

Then there was the other ability, [Fighter I].

Fighter I: Overall improvement in fighting talent, physical talent, and physical fitness. (Upgrade requires 50,000 source points)

Chen Qingwei could feel her body becoming even stronger.

"Hmm~" Chen Qingwei wondered if she would end up taking the 'humanoid pet' route in the future?

Quite a few Fighter Yu Beast Users took this path... and there were many.

Many powerful fighters didn't even need to possess a pet to fight alongside them.

However, Chen Qingwei thought about her Yu Beast User talent and mused that this path seemed very suitable for her!

At this moment, Chen Qingwei finally saw an ability on her panel that she hadn't noticed before:

[Innate Divine Power]: A talent ability derived from the original body's talent, greatly increasing strength, physical talent, and fighting talent. (Innate talent, cannot be upgraded)

"Emmm~" Chen Qingwei fell silent for a moment upon seeing this.

So, my true path is actually to be a humanoid pet!
