Soon, as she approached Xue Henqing, Tang Xiaojing finally got a clear view of the other Beast Tamer, who seemed to be a young man around her age.
So handsome...
No, no, Tang Xiaojing, you are here to teach this greenhorn Beast Tamer a lesson.
But he really is handsome...
Suppressing her jumbled thoughts, Tang Xiaojing quickly walked up to Lin Su, "Do you even know how to train pets? Snow Blow isn't trained like this at all; you're simply wasting Xue Henqing's Talent Skills for learning Snow Blow."
Lin Su was baffled, things had been going well with his training when a girl about his age walked up and questioned his ability to teach pets...
Alright, in the eyes of other Beast Tamers, the teaching methods in the world of Shenwu really are absurd.
But he still felt somewhat inexplicable.
So, he decided to let Qiuqiu vindicate himself.
Coughing lightly, Lin Su looked at Qiuqiu, "How about it, do you feel confident now?"
"Meow! (￣ω￣)ฅ" (I think I've got this!)
"Then let's give it a try." Lin Su's face held a hint of anticipation.
Qiuqiu tilted its head slightly, facing an open space ahead, its little mouth puckered up seriously and blew hard, causing large snowflakes to abruptly appear within a two-meter radius in front of it. The snowflakes, unlike the wild frenzy of a Frost Storm, floated back to the ground like big fluffy cotton.
Skill Snow Blow, successfully taught.
Immediately after, Lin Su and Qiuqiu turned their heads in unison to look toward a dumbstruck Tang Xiaojing.
At that moment, silence was more powerful than words.
"I... I..." Opening her mouth, Tang Xiaojing didn't know what to say.
If there had been a crack in the ground, she would have dived right in.
How embarrassing.
She had thought this guy was cluelessly training, but his method actually worked.
But she had never heard of this bizarre Snow Blow teaching method before. Just blowing out the absorbed snow to learn Snow Blow?
Clutching onto the last bit of stubbornness, Tang Xiaojing couldn't help but inquire, "With this method, how many times did you practice to learn Snow Blow?"
The Snow Blow teaching methods easily found online were actually the best methods determined after comparisons by several scholars from the league. Even if this Beast Tamer's method was effective, surely it wasn't as efficient as the best teaching method, right?
"This..." Lin Su glanced at Qiuqiu, speaking uncertainly, "Eighteen times?"
"Meow, meow! (´ω｀)" (No, it was sixteen times!)
Qiuqiu dissatisfiedly waved its hand.
I, Qiuqiu, am exceptionally talented, who needs eighteen tries!
"Oh." Lin Su nodded, looking at Tang Xiaojing, "I remembered wrong, it was sixteen times."
Is it important whether you remembered wrong??? What does it matter if you correct it, sixteen or eighteen times?!
Tang Xiaojing was dumbfounded.
"Hey! (Ծ‸Ծ)" (Wait for me!)
A disgruntled cry broke the silence as Lin Su looked at the slow-moving pet coming up behind the girl, showing a trace of surprise before casually activating his communicator to start scanning it.
[Sequence IAM-0079]
Species name: Ice Crowned Penguin
Species rank: Low Commanding Species
Attributes: Water, Ice
Development stage: Juvenile
Regular energy value: 265P
Talent Skills: Water Wave (core skill), Ice Melting Slash, Water Bullet]
It really was an Ice Crowned Penguin.
Ice Crowned High School, a public high school located near Qingying High School, breeds this rare dual-attribute leading species, which is popular with many people.
So this girl is a senior from the neighboring high school?
On the other side, as her pet called out, Tang Xiaojing snapped back to reality and looked at Lin Su with a different gaze.
Is this guy's method actually better than the best teaching method?
If her own Ice Crystal tried it, could it also learn quickly?
"Um... could you teach me your method for teaching Snow Blow?" coughing lightly, Tang Xiaojing became somewhat embarrassed.
One moment she planned to give pointers, the next she was asking him to teach her...
Lin Su looked at Tang Xiaojing and silently extended a hand, his thumb and forefinger pinching together.
Taaching was possible, it was just a new teaching method for an existing skill and didn't mean much for Lin Su to bring it up, causing no suspicion.
The league had its own unique arbitration process, so he didn't need to worry about this girl taking his method and applying for a patent after learning it.
But teaching for free was out of the question.
Understanding Lin Su's implication, Tang Xiaojing bit her lip, "Two first-stage Energy Cubes, as a gift for your pet!"
Two first-stage Energy Cubes?
That's almost a thousand league coins.
Moreover, after training, pets absorb Energy Cubes better, Lin Su was actually considering buying one for Qiuqiu after today's training.
Is trading a thousand league coins for a new teaching method of an existing skill worth it?
It's hard to say, but Lin Su did need first-stage Energy Cubes.
"Deal."
"Wait." Tang Xiaojing shook her head, "Let's agree first that these two Energy Cubes can only be given after my pet learns using your method and shows results."
She wasn't foolish, although the method sounded impressive, what if he was just bluffing or scamming her?
Without verifying the result, she wouldn't readily hand over the Energy Cubes.
"Alright," Lin Su agreed readily.
After all, his and Qiuqiu's training had just begun; three hours would be enough for the Ice Crowned Penguin to practice hundreds of times.
