Chapter 23 - White-Scaled Fish Crosses Three Levels, the Division of Proficiency!



The Candlefire Spider, at Fifth Rank, was unable to withstand even one attack from the Third Rank White-scaled Fish. The White-scaled Fish’s actual combat power seemed to be quite impressive.

However, what astonished Bai Zian even more was the effect of the skill used by the White-scaled Fish.

Normally, the power of Water Gun would at most penetrate the Candlefire Spider’s head, leaving a hole. But now, the Candlefire Spider exploded like ignited dynamite, breaking into pieces. This didn’t seem like the usual effect of Water Gun.

Upon further thought, Bai Zian understood. This was due to the White-scaled Fish’s A-Rank talent, [Flow Burst].

[Flow Burst]: Allows attack-type water skills to carry a bursting impact effect.

This was what caused the Candlefire Spider to explode into fragments. This talent had an unexpectedly powerful effect on attack-type water skills. It was a remarkable discovery.

“However, this means I need to find stronger Candlefire Spiders.”

“Only a more powerful spiritual beast can provide the White-scaled Fish with some real pressure.”

Bai Zian mused, thinking about this.

His primary purpose for coming to the Candlefire Volcano was to train the White-scaled Fish. If every opponent was defeated in one strike, there would be no real training effect for the White-scaled Fish.

Therefore, Bai Zian needed to find stronger Candlefire Spiders to challenge the White-scaled Fish and provide it with growth opportunities.

On the other hand, Bai Zian also planned to take this opportunity to further hone the White-scaled Fish’s skills.

The White-scaled Fish was very special, having been born with five skills. Each of these skills needed to be practiced before they could be mastered.

Additionally, spiritual beast skills were not simply effective upon use.

The same skill could produce different effects and power when used by different spiritual beasts.

It was similar to a novice swordsman versus a renowned sword master; the same strike would yield vastly different results. A novice might not even cut through a blade of grass, while a renowned swordsman could split a mountain.

This reflected the skill proficiency.

In the beast taming world, skill proficiency had been extensively studied and was categorized into five stages: Initial Understanding, Entry-Level, Proficient, Mastery, and Peak Mastery.

In modern terms, this could be simplified to Beginner, Intermediate, Advanced, Expert, and Perfect.

Training the White-scaled Fish’s skills to mastery was one of Bai Zian’s goals for this journey.

With this decision made, Bai Zian and the White-scaled Fish ventured deeper into the Candlefire Volcano for a new round of hunting.

Time passed quickly, and a week had gone by in the blink of an eye.

When Bai Zian appeared again, his clothing seemed dirtier and messier than at the start. This was because he had not left the Candlefire Volcano for the past week, continuously hunting Candlefire Spiders.

After a week of battles, the White-scaled Fish had undergone tremendous changes in strength.

[Species]: White-scaled Fish (Water Element) [Level]: Sixth Rank (Mediocre) [Talent]: Swift Flow (S), Yinming Power (S), Flow Burst (A) [Quality]: Intermediate King [Skills]: Rapid Water Manipulation (Purple·Beginner), Yin Water Corrosion (Purple·Beginner), Flow Burst (Blue·Proficient), Water Gun Impact (Green·Advanced), Foam Layer (Green·Advanced)

In just seven days, the White-scaled Fish’s level had risen from Third Rank to Sixth Rank.

This progression spanned three levels.

If the high school students from Mining Rock City knew this, they would be stunned into silence.

They had spent a whole year to elevate their pets to Fifth or Sixth Rank, while Bai Zian achieved this in just one week.

This gap was unimaginable.

However, it was normal for the White-scaled Fish to have such growth. On one hand, the White-scaled Fish’s potential was far superior to that of ordinary spiritual beasts, being a King-class spiritual beast. It had a significant advantage in growth.

On the other hand, Bai Zian’s Mythical Beast Space had effects that accelerated pet growth and reduced development time.

Most importantly, it was the White-scaled Fish’s rapid growth period.

After birth, spiritual beast pups go through a rapid growth phase due to survival rules in the wilderness.

Without sufficient strength, survival is impossible.

Many spiritual beasts or animals have this instinct.

This is similar to human infants who grow significantly within a few years, reaching the stage of walking and running. It’s a natural law.

The White-scaled Fish’s growth phase would continue until it reached Black Iron level, after which it would enter a prolonged development phase.

Bai Zian guessed that this period would end at that point.

Additionally, the Bai family’s ample resources meant that Bai Zian never lacked in providing food for the White-scaled Fish.

The White-scaled Fish’s diet consisted of the most suitable spiritual beast meat.

Even deep within the Candlefire Volcano, the Protection Team would deliver the White-scaled Fish’s food regularly.

Bai Zian’s purpose was to train, not to torment the White-scaled Fish. The better the White-scaled Fish’s growth, the greater the benefits for Bai Zian in the future.

The Bai family understood this, so Bai Jingchong had not interfered but rather allowed the Protection Team to deliver food.

This was why the White-scaled Fish had made such significant progress in just a week. It was a substantial achievement.

For Bai Zian, there was an even greater gain: the results of the White-scaled Fish’s skill training.
