Chapter 604 Star Pet?
The other students all received Star Beads as rewards. Only Jiang Xiao and Han Jiangxue, the siblings, currently had a Star Slot they could use, which could be used to absorb Star Techniques or Star Pets.
Clearly, the Capital Star Warrior University was sincere and well-prepared. They were willing to provide the siblings with opportunities to capture Star Pets.
Of course, a prestigious institution like the Capital Star Warrior University wouldn't offer just any random creatures as "pet-catching opportunities." Vice Principal Yang Chensan even listed three types of Star Beasts that the school considered suitable for the siblings.
Judging solely from the Star Beasts on the list, they all originated from extremely special Other Dimensions. The fact that the Capital Star Warrior University could connect with such high-level Other Dimensions and obtain the necessary permits suggested that they had invested a great deal.
At this moment, only the siblings remained in the principal's office.
As Jiang Xiao carefully examined the Star Beast list, Vice Principal Yang said from the side, "We are willing to provide you with this opportunity. Of course, if you insist on choosing the Void Calamity Shadow Star Bead, and are fixated on the Star Technique of the Calamity Shadow Ruins that you haven't absorbed yet, that's also negotiable."
Jiang Xiao frowned slightly and said, "Principal Yang, do you think Little Jiangxue needs a 'guiding light'?"
Yang Chensan looked at Jiang Xiao and smiled kindly. He certainly knew the allure of the Star Pets on that list, but Jiang Xiao's concern for Han Jiangxue spoke volumes.
Vice Principal Yang: "Did you see the Chongming Bird?"
Jiang Xiao nodded. The first Star Pet the school recommended was an extremely special "Fifth Level Beneath the Stars" from the Great Mongolia Province Other Dimension!
The Great Mongolia Province possessed a series of "Beneath the Stars" Other Dimensions. Due to their similar Other Dimensional environments, they were all named "Beneath the Stars," but the numbers 1 to 5 represented the level of danger, based on the different creatures they contained.
Level 1 was the lowest, and Level 5 was the most dangerous.
Jiang Xiao said, "Wu Yao has two Star Techniques that probably came from the Chongming Bird?"
Vice Principal Yang Chensan nodded and said, "That's a special benefit for her as a military child. Others can't have it. If you're certain you want a Chongming Bird as a Star Pet, the Capital Star Warrior University can try its best to make it happen."
Jiang Xiao nodded inwardly and turned to hand the first piece of paper to Han Jiangxue.
Han Jiangxue took it and scanned the paper, seemingly understanding the Capital Star Warrior University's intentions.
"Star Beast - Chongming Bird (Platinum Rank)
1. Chongming Feather: Shoots feathers from its body, the feathers carrying a certain amount of fire and light damage. (Gold Quality)
2. Chongming Eyes: Enhances vision, increases field of view, adds night vision, and provides immunity to strong light and blinding. When actively activated, the eyes will have two pupils, able to see illusions and unnatural darkness, and can see Star Technique residue, with certain reconnaissance and tracking capabilities. (Gold Quality)
3. Chongming Light: Shoots a penetrating light from its eyes, illuminating and locking onto the target, inflicting continuous light burning damage on the target and disrupting the target's Star Power. If the target is in a state of invisibility, this Star Technique's damage is greatly increased. If the target is a shadow or illusion, it can directly shatter the illusion. (Gold Quality)
4. Chongming Cry: Emits a piercing sound, dealing sonic attacks to individuals or areas, with some mental damage attached. (Gold Quality)"
Vice Principal Yang Chensan continued, "It has some characteristics that aren't shown on the Star Technique list."
Han Jiangxue looked up at Yang Chensan.
The Vice Principal continued, "It can fly, and it's very fast. Whether as a scout or a main attacker, it's a good choice. When necessary, it can take you into or out of the battlefield. This creature is quite large; carrying 5 or 6 people is not a problem."
Han Jiangxue pursed her lips. Looking at it from another perspective, what the school was offering was what the siblings lacked.
Undoubtedly, they were lacking in "perception," "illusion breaking," "night vision," and "reconnaissance tracking."
As a normal Star Warrior, it was of course impossible to have one Star with four techniques, but if you used a Star Slot to tame a pet, it would naturally have four Star Techniques; there was no doubt about that.
Jiang Xiao hadn't reported his "Domain Tear" Star Technique, so in the eyes of outsiders, he was no different from a "blind man." Han Jiangxue was also a violent output type, not to mention perception, she even lacked mobility. Such a Star Pet as a support was indeed a good choice.
"Don't worry, you have plenty of time." Yang Chensan continued. The siblings were different from other students participating in the World Cup. They would continue to spend three years on campus at the Capital Star Warrior University and would experience another World Cup. Yang Chensan took special care of them.
Jiang Xiao handed the second piece of paper to Han Jiangxue. If the Star Pet on the first piece of paper was prepared for both of them, then the Star Pet on the second piece of paper was prepared for Jiang Xiao alone.
This was a purely output-type creature, produced in an equally precious and rare high-level Other Dimension: the Flame Tribunal.
And when Jiang Xiao saw its Star Techniques, he couldn't help but think of the Two-Tails.
"Ogre Flame King (Platinum Rank)
1. Lava Body: Condenses Star Power and transforms the body. Makes the body appear in lava form, adding powerful burning damage. During this form, the user's defense is also greatly increased. (Gold Quality)
2. Lava Slurry: Condenses Star Power, summons hot lava slurry, and attacks the enemy in the form of spitting from the mouth. The lava slurry has powerful burning damage. (Gold Quality)
3. Lava Dance: Consumes a large amount of Star Power to create a vortex storm of fire and lava, burning all things in the world. (Gold Quality)
4. Lava Burst: While maintaining the Lava Body state, condenses Star Power and uses the user's body as a medium to launch a devastating explosion. (Gold Quality)"
Looking at these four Star Techniques, Jiang Xiao grimaced helplessly. Each Star Technique seemed to be expressing the Capital Star Warrior University's attitude towards Jiang Xiao.
1. Lava Body: Your output is not enough.
2. Lava Slurry: It's really not enough.
3. Lava Dance: Let me charge ahead for you!
4. Lava Burst: Understand? Your Bell is a perfect match for me!
Of course, Jiang Xiao wouldn't want this pure output-type creature. Undoubtedly, Jiang Xiao was indeed suitable for finding this kind of "explosion" Star Pet. Don't look down on Lava Burst just because it's Gold Quality, but any Star Technique that touches "explosion" can't be simply measured by quality; you have to look at the actual effect.
Although Jiang Xiao couldn't be called knowledgeable, among the Tear Rain creatures, the Tear Ghost had both perception-type Star Techniques and self-explosion-type Star Techniques, which was the ideal creature.
It was just a pity that Tear Ghosts had a very serious weakness: their bodies were too fragile. Even if Jiang Xiao's healing Star Technique was effective, it could never pull back a self-exploding Tear Ghost... Absorbing that kind of creature as a Star Pet was completely joking.
As a medical support staff member, it was reasonable for the school to want to provide him with a "vanguard" to protect him. Looking at the Ogre Flame King's four Star Techniques, they could be called all types of output: single target, splash, continuous group, self-explosion...
Vice Principal Yang Chensan continued, "It also has many characteristics. Compared to other creatures in the Flame Tribunal, its defense is the highest. Don't be misled by its output-type Star Techniques; it will become your most solid shield."
Jiang Xiao scratched his head. To be honest, he believed that he could find a better Star Pet. The Ogre Flame King was indeed very good, a Platinum killer, but... the Two-Tails were ten thousand times better than the Ogre Flame King.
Jiang Xiao continued to look down at the Star Beast list.
This third Star Beast made Jiang Xiao's eyes light up!
Putting aside everything else, just the picture made Jiang Xiao like it very much.
Wasn't this a panda? There were Other Dimensional creatures so similar to Earth creatures? Could they have found the wrong picture? This was just a panda, right?
That furry little paw was holding a bamboo stick? The background behind it was also a bamboo forest. Did other worlds also have bamboo forests?
It was clearly the color era, but it insisted on living as a black and white color, furry body, round little head, round body... cute little appearance, amiable and simple.
"Bamboo Bear (Platinum Rank)
1. Negative State: Lazy, likes to eat. Passive Star Technique, no need to activate. (Silver Quality)
2. Round Bamboo: Condenses Star Power, summons a huge illusory bamboo stick, smashing enemies within range, with a powerful striking effect. (Gold Quality)
3. Bear Fat: The Star Power in the body will penetrate into the thick fat, giving itself a powerful physical defense and a certain effect of reflecting physical attacks. Passive Star Technique, no need to activate. (Gold Quality)
4. Ancestor Body: Consumes a large amount of Star Power, summons the Ancestor Body, making the body huge (4.5 meters ~ 5.5 meters), at the cost of sacrificing speed, body flexibility, and other attributes, comprehensively enhancing other physical attributes, and opening the second form: Ancestor Form. (Gold Quality)
5. Bear Clan Faith: In the state of Ancestor Body, consumes Star Power, summons 3~5 normal-form Star Power Bamboo Bears. Star Power Bamboo Bears have no negative state, no Ancestor Form. (Gold Quality).
6. Iron-Eating Myth: In the state of Ancestor Body, issues a roar, making enemies frightened and trembling. Range technique, roar technique."
"Tsk, tsk..." Jiang Xiao marveled. This was the first time he had seen a guy with one Star and six techniques!
And there was even a weakness Star Technique mixed in?
When did "gluttony and laziness" become a Star Technique?
How did the Star Warriors evaluate it?
Jiang Xiao's expression was strange for a while. It must be that some Star Warrior absorbed such a Star Bead, and then found that he became particularly lazy, and also particularly liked to eat?
Jiang Xiao couldn't help but make a sad expression. How miserable would that Star Warrior be? Would he have to keep a companion with a "War Cry" Star Technique by his side at all times?
