29: Training Ground Laughter: Test Cup

Bai Ye glanced at Xiao Hei's panel.

【Talent】: Shapeshifting (Special), Frail (Grey)

The Frail talent was always a big problem.

"I must find a way to wash away this talent."

Even though both were grey talents, Phantom Snow's talent was so much more useful.

Bai Ye thought to himself.

He set Xiao Hei aside and turned his gaze to another target.

"Xiao Lan, come out!"

With a flash of white light, the elegant Ghost Orchid appeared in the center of the arena.

"It is time to test your strength."

"Xiao Lan, use Dust Explosion on the target."

Bai Ye pointed to another intact target and ordered.

He adjusted the target's Rank to Transcendent Elementary.

Xiao Lan swayed its body, its petals trembling slightly.

Countless pollen grains drifted out from the flower's center, gathering into a ball in the air and flying toward the target.

Boom!

With a muffled sound, the pollen ball exploded the moment it touched the target.

The violent energy shockwave made the target shake three times, and ripples spread across the energy shield on its body.

A set of data immediately appeared on the screen.

【Attack Assessment: Intermediate Skill】

【Damage Value: 358】

【Target Remaining Defense: 642 / 1000】

"The power is alright."

Bai Ye nodded.

The training ground targets were all equivalent to defense-specialized beast pets.

For a Intermediate Extraordinary Level auxiliary beast pet, being able to deal this much damage was already considered quite good.

After all, the Dust Explosion skill was more inclined toward area-of-effect damage, and before the proficiency reached mastery, the single-target damage was not outstanding.

"Next, try that one."

Bai Ye's eyes became expectant.

"Xiao Lan, Night Demon Strike!"

Hearing this command, Xiao Lan was clearly stunned for a moment.

It didn't have any Undead System energy in its body right now.

After acquiring this skill, Xiao Lan had tried to release it itself.

It couldn't be said that it was completely unusable, just that it was exceptionally obscure to use.

But now that its Aptitude and Rank had both improved, it should be able to use it, right...

Xiao Lan tried to mobilize the grass-attribute energy in its body to use Night Demon Strike.

Three emerald green bats made of grass-attribute energy emerged from its body.

These bats were not large, looking even somewhat illusory, and they flew unsteadily toward the target.

Their speed was not fast, and their flight paths were very unstable.

Pfft! Pfft! Pfft!

The three bats slammed into the target's energy shield and opened their fangs, biting down fiercely.

The energy core inside the target began to dim at a speed visible to the naked eye.

The data on the screen also began to change rapidly.

【Attacked by an unknown high-level skill, energy is being absorbed...】

【Remaining Defense: 630... 600... 550...】

"As expected!"

Bai Ye's eyes lit up.

The grass-attribute Night Demon Strike didn't absorb blood, but rather life force, or in other words, energy.

An alternative version of Super Drain.

"It's just that the quantity is too small."

Bai Ye stroked his chin.

Xiao Lan's proficiency with this skill was only "beginner," so it could only summon three bats at a time, and the power was limited.

"I still have to do it myself."

Bai Ye curled his lips and walked to the center of the arena.

He glanced at the target that still had more than half its defense remaining, then said to Xiao Lan:

"Watch closely, Xiao Lan, this is how Night Demon Strike is used."

He took a deep breath, and the Undead System energy in his body was instantly mobilized.

An aura of life, dozens of times more powerful than when Xiao Lan used it, erupted from his body.

"Night Demon Strike!"

As the words fell.

From the position behind Bai Ye, a sky-covering green shadow surged out.

He summoned hundreds of bats in one breath.

Each one was much more solid than the ones Xiao Lan summoned, with scarlet light flashing in their eyes.

The energy Bai Ye used was not much, equivalent only to the amount of a Intermediate Extraordinary Level.

But the power was far beyond what Xiao Lan could touch.

The gathered green torrent submerged the Transcendent Elementary target with an overwhelming force.

The energy shield on the target didn't even last a second before it shattered directly.

The target itself, under the gnawing of the bats, quickly became damaged, turning into a pile of metal powder.

【Warning! Target in Training Ground No. 7 destroyed! Please stop training immediately!】

Looking at the scene before him, Bai Ye snapped his fingers in satisfaction.

The torrent of bats circling in the air turned into grass-wood energy and dissipated without a trace.

"Did you see that, Xiao Lan? When proficiency is high, you can do whatever you want."

He said with a smile to the stunned Ghost Orchid.

Xiao Lan's leaves swayed wildly, conveying a feeling of extreme admiration.

It still couldn't figure out why its Beast Tamer could unleash such terrifying power with a skill that it struggled to use.

After the alarm sound stopped, the door to the training room was pushed open violently.

A middle-aged man with a Mediterranean hairstyle rushed in, panting, with two security guards.

"Sir, what happened?"

When he saw the pile of metal powder on the ground and the crazily alarming data on the control console, his eyes almost popped out.

Bai Ye also shrugged somewhat embarrassedly:

"It felt a bit flimsy, please change to a better one next time."

Hearing Bai Ye's words, the manager's face turned green instantly.

Flimsy?

This was a defense-specialized target capable of withstanding a full-power strike from a Intermediate Extraordinary Level.

In just this short while, how did it turn into powder?

Glancing at the harmless-looking Ghost Orchid nearby, the manager felt his worldview had been impacted.

In other words, the club's target was destroyed by the Ghost Orchid?

Oh no, I bought counterfeit goods.

"Sir, according to the regulations, damaging training facilities requires compensation at the original price."

The manager wiped the cold sweat from his forehead and said cautiously.

He didn't dare to offend the mysterious official member of the Association in front of him, but the club's rules could not be broken.

"How much?"

Bai Ye asked.

"This target costs 300,000 alliance coins."

"Alright, I'll compensate you."

Bai Ye readily took out his phone, preparing to transfer the money.

Seeing this scene, the manager was completely speechless.

300,000, without blinking an eye.

This was definitely some young master from a big Family out to experience life.

"No need, no need!"

The manager waved his hands hurriedly.

"You are a distinguished guest, our club can still afford this small loss, and you have also paid the deposit, please continue, continue..."

Are you kidding? Offend a future big shot for 300,000?

He wasn't that stupid.

"That would be too embarrassing."

Bai Ye said this, but his hand stopped very honestly.

"It's only right, it's only right."

The manager smiled apologetically, took the two security guards, and retreated sheepishly.

Before leaving, he thoughtfully closed the door.

Bai Ye looked at the quiet training room again and shook his head.

"Looks like I have to take it easy."

He cast his gaze toward the last one, which was also the beast pet he was most looking forward to.

That white kitten that had been quietly lying in the corner from beginning to end, watching coldly.

"Phantom Snow, it's your turn."

Only Bai Ye's voice could make Phantom Snow move.

It stood up, walked with elegant cat steps, and went to the center of the arena.

A powerful aura, completely inconsistent with its petite size, rose from its body.
