After supervising the winter bear cub's training on Hard Ice, he found that the winter bear cub was still quite self-conscious.
Ji An didn't deliberately supervise it anymore, and instead, let it train on its own.
A beastmaster could only provide guidance in the training of familiars. The specific training still had to be done by the familiars themselves.
However, Ji An didn't idle around either. Instead, he went downstairs to retrieve the book, A Detailed Explanation of Familiars' Skills, from his house and began studying.
This was a huge book with thousands of pages. It looked like a dictionary. Ji An had only skimmed through it the night before. He hadn't familiarized himself with it.
He had only rented the three books for seven days. He had to at least memorize the general content within these seven days.
This time, Ji An took notes as he flipped through the pages.
Among them, the most detailed notes that he jotted down were all related to the six skills that the winter bear cub could currently naturally awaken and master.
As Ji An concentrated on his studies, after a short half an hour, a soft snoring sound was heard.
He had a bad feeling.
He looked in the direction of the winter bear cub only to see that it had fallen to the ground and was sleeping against the wall where it had been previously training hard.
Ji An was speechless.
But then he thought about it and did not get angry.
He already knew that the winter bear cub could improve its strength by sleeping.
It wasn't just because he was lazy.
Looking at the winter bear cub that had fallen asleep again under the effects o Hibernation skill, Ji An hesitated for a moment, wondering, "Should I let the winter bear cub just sleep like this, or should I wake it up?"
After a moment's hesitation, he finally decided to wake the winter bear cub up, "Just by sleeping and relying on the effects of Hibernation, the bear cub's energy level will increase quite quickly, but the increase in skill mastery will be limited. After all, that relies on hard work and practice. "
"It's probably just a special case that the mastery of Hibernation and Hard Ice has improved this time. Otherwise, the winter bear cub would have long awakened Hard Ice after sleeping in the breeding base for so long. We need to allocate some time to skill training," After weighing the pros and cons, Ji An made up his mind.
The energy level was indeed an important part of a familiar's strength, but the mastery of skills was also extremely important.
The drowsy winter bear cub was soon woken up by Ji An, who had made up his mind.
Seeing Ji An's serious expression, the winter bear cub was a little embarrassed. It reached out its chubby paws and scratched its head, "Roar~"
It got tired from practicing.
Ji An nodded slightly, and his expression softened, "Winter bear cub, I know you're tired, but you can't neglect your skill training. Pull yourself together! From now on, I'll supervise your training on Hard Ice!"
The winter bear cub nodded heavily, indicating that it would not fall asleep this time.
Putting down the book, Ji An was not distracted by anything else. Instead, he became the winter bear cub's supervisor who was fully present.
The winter bear cub's potential in Hard Ice was as high as 785.
In other words, it could naturally level up the skill to the second stage of the four divine realms, namely the Divine Profoundness realm.
With such high potential, it was only natural for it to improve by leaps and bounds in the Beginner realm.
With just a short morning of training, the winter bear cub's mastery of Hard Ice kept on refreshing.
By noon, from the initial mastery value of 3, it had increased to 7, more than doubled.
Now, when the winter bear cub cast Hard Ice, the ice layer would not just cover the palm.
It could now cover the entire bear paw in Hard Ice and even last for more than 20 seconds before it broke.
This was already a considerable improvement.
One should know that it had only been one morning.
In addition, Ji An didn't know whether to laugh or cry, but perhaps it was because the bear had taken a nap while he had been reading, its grasp of Hibernation had increased by another point, reaching a mastery value of 203.
According to the book, the higher one's skill mastery, the harder it was to improve.
However, this didn't seem to apply to the winter bear cub.
A skill mastery value of more than 200 was equivalent to the Proficient realm of the corresponding six realms of skill mastery.
For some familiars with mediocre talent, their natural mastery of a certain skill would probably only reach this level in their entire lives.
But for the winter bear cub, it wasn't even a starting point.
Ji An couldn't help but sigh in amazement at the benefits of being gifted.
Compared to the winter bear cub's ability to become stronger even in its sleep, his soul talent was simply unsightly.
As the winter bear cub's strength continued to improve, Ji An could vaguely sense that his soul power e seemed to have improved as well through the power he received from the winter bear cub's feedback.
Even though it was not obvious, the improvement was far more than the improvement brought by his mind meditation last night.
At that moment, Ji An came to a realization, "Rather than spending time meditating to increase my soul power, it's better to spend more energy on thinking of ways to increase the strength of my familiar. This way, through the strength of my familiars, the feedback power will probably make my soul power improve faster than through meditation. "
At 1 pm in the afternoon, seeing the winter bear cub was tired from training, and the training effect was greatly reduced, while at the same time, its grasp of Hard Ice had increased by another point, reaching 8/785, Ji An decided to stop at the right time.
After feeding the bear cub a jar of sweetgrass milk that was worth 1500 yuan, he sent it back to the soul domain to Hibernate.
The description of Hibernation in the book, A Detailed Guide to Familiars' Skills, was far more comprehensive than the information he could see with the Eye of Insight.
According to the book, after eating food rich in energy, if the familiar immediately went to sleep, a skill like Hibernation could help a familiar improve its absorption rate of nutrients.
Since a jar of milk was so expensive, Ji An naturally couldn't bear to let the winter bear cub waste even a little.
After the winter bear cub fell into a deep sleep, Ji An began to record the results of the winter bear cub's training that day in his training log in preparation for its training tomorrow.
In Ji An's training schedule, the first thing he had to do was to ensure that the winter bear's sleep quality was maintained.
This was the key to the bear cub's strength.
It was a cub that had only completed its first Morphing, but it had already mastered Hibernation in the Proficient realm.
It would be a waste if he didn't use the skill to increase the bear cub's strength to the maximum.
Secondly, he had to maintain the bear's daily skill training.
At the very least, the intensity of training had to be maintained at the same level as today.
After recording today's training and results, Ji An started arranging the bear cub's training for the next day.
In today's training, the winter bear cub had basically repeatedly condensed Hard Ice as training, which was quite boring.
The next day, Ji An planned to add a few more training programs, mostly attack and defense training.
This was to test the winter bear cub's current control of Hard Ice and see how effective it was in increasing the bear's destructive power and defense, thus achieving the training effect.
Ji An closed his notebook.
He was going to prepare some equipment for tomorrow's attack and defense training.
Of course, with his current financial capabilities and the situation where he yearned to spilt one coin into two when spending, the so-called training equipment was better to be free of charge.
Hence, Ji An found a familiar construction site and picked up a few broken bricks and a few wooden sticks of varying thicknesses.
After much effort, he finally moved the pile of junk back to the rooftop of his house.
Ji An weighed the pile of bricks and wooden sticks in his hands and felt their heaviness, feeling quite satisfied.
These were the winter bear cub's training props for tomorrow.
