Chapter 9: Cat and Mouse (4500 words!) )

Yangcheng University, faculty dormitory.

Li Changan slowly lay down on the bed with a thick exhaustion.

Next to the pillow are "Basic Spirit Animal Cultivation Guide", "Spirit Animal Cultivation from Beginner to Mastery", "Characteristics of Cat Spirit Beasts", "Complete Shadow Attribute Spirit Animal Skills" and "Spirit Animal Cultivation Equipment Encyclopedia......

Some of these books he had studied, and the Department of Spirit Animal History was also one of the sub-disciplines of the Spirit Animal Department, and many basic things were unavoidable, and the exam had to be examined.

There are also a few books that he borrowed from the library.

As a teaching assistant, it's very convenient to borrow books.

Yangcheng University is a well-known institution of its size, and a lot of knowledge can be obtained from the library as long as it is needed.

"Hmm-"

Rubbing his sour eyes, Li Changan snorted.

Originally, he thought that after the treatment of the white bamboo and the hanging bamboo, plus his body had almost recovered after receiving the feedback from the phantom cat.

Who knew that when I lay down, the faint tingling and exhaustion from my body were still so obvious.

Fortunately.

I don't know how many times better than last night.

And this night's evil supplement also gave him a general idea of how to cultivate Xiaofan.

The rest needs to be cultivated while slowly groping.

"I don't know how the school is going to arrange the spirit beast history department."

When he calmed down, he couldn't help but think of the changes in the history department of the spirit beast.

A total of four faculty members were killed, and three were killed at once.

Among them, the most important one is Yan Fuchun, a professor in charge of the direction of coursework.

Now he is left with a small teaching assistant, and he doesn't know how to carry out his schoolwork in the future.

But tonight when he returns.

I didn't feel the slightest change in the school.

Think about it too.

The Department of Spirit Animal History is already unpopular, coupled with the huge institution of Yangcheng University, an inconspicuous change in the department will obviously not have much impact on the entire school.

And it was the end of the semester, and the school definitely wanted to reduce the impact, so it pressed the matter down.

Leaving it to the Public Security Bureau for investigation is undoubtedly the best option.

So on the way from the school gate to the faculty dormitory, he didn't see much difference from before, except for the students who were busy studying and preparing for the exam, some lecturers, professors or staff.

"The treatment of the Tranquility Club is good, but it is definitely not enough to cultivate Xiaofan, or even cultivate Xiaodouding homeopathically."

"Whether Xiaodouding's treasure hunting ability can really make money has to be tried to know, so this job as a teaching assistant should not be ......lost."

While resting, Li Changan thought about his future direction and his plan for Xiao Fan, his initial spirit beast.

"And ...... The most important point. The identity of the black-robed man that day was uncertain, and whether he had a party or not was more about his life. ”

That's what really worries him.

"Meow~~"

Just when Li Changan was worried, he saw a small black head poking out of the empty bed on the top bunk, and his two eyes blinked.

"Squeak~~"

Immediately after, another brown head, apparently many times smaller, poked out.

Seeing these two little guys, Li Changan suddenly smiled, and all the troubles and worries seemed to be gone.

Oh, yes.

He's not alone anymore either.

As a Soul Master.

Even if the sky falls, he still has a partner standing by his side.

"Meow~"

I saw the phantom cat step on the guardrail of the upper bunk and paced a few steps.

Narrow railing, but the little illusion can walk on the ground with cat steps.

In the next second, he jumped lightly and jumped straight into Li Changan's arms.

"Meow-"

He called out glutinously, arched his arm down, and after finding a suitable position, curled up and curled up his tail in a ball.

"You don't sleep comfortably on the cushions on it?"

Li Changan pulled out his palm from the back of his head and gently stroked its back.

Xiao Phantom raised his head, his blue eyes like two falling stars.

"Meow."

It's comfortable here.

Li Changan, who heard this, was stunned for a moment, and then smiled: "Okay." ”

The palm stroking the back of the phantom cat added a little strength.

It's cool to pet the cat for a while, and I keep petting the cat...... Cool all the time.

Immediately, he turned his attention to the psychic mouse that was still lying on the railing.

"Squeak-"

The psychic mouse shook his head again and again and retracted.

In such a big place, isn't it comfortable for this rat to be alone?

Li Changan pulled his mouth, and he was not reluctant.

"Sleep, training will start tomorrow."

Close your eyes slowly.

in the mind.

In addition to the glittering "spiritual scales", there is also a black leather manual that exudes a mist looming.

It gave Li Changan the ability to adjust the efficiency value of the spirit beast's skills.

But Li Changan felt that this black leather manual would definitely not be so simple.

It's just that he may not have found the trick to explore its secrets, or his strength and ability are not enough.

Under the halo of the "spiritual balance", bursts of sleepiness swept in.

...

...

Following.

A grove on the shore of the university lake.

It is well known that in the school there is a small wood, and singles and dogs are not allowed to enter at night.

Fortunately, it was daytime, and with the final exam preparation, no one would come in.

"Little Fantasy." Li Changan shouted.

"Meow~~~"

I saw a swift and swift black shadow jumping down from a small tree not far away.

The movements were light and elegant, with catwalks, tail upright, pacing in front of him, and calling softly.

Looking at Xiao Fan's posture, Li Changan couldn't help but flash a sentence in his mind.

Elegant, timeless.

Squatted down and rubbed Xiao Fan's head.

"Little Phantom, show me your claws."

The phantom cat obediently stretched out its soft little hand, and the soft meat pad was on Li Changan's hand.

Swish!!

From under the phantom cat's flesh pad, claw bullets shoot out.

Sharp as the edge of a sword, sharp as the tip of a sword.

Feeling this sharpness, Li Changan couldn't help but stand upside down on the back of his hand.

After carefully examining it for a moment, Li Changan nodded.

The skill that Phantom is best at and likes to use the most is undoubtedly "Phantom".

But in the final analysis, the "phantom" is at most used to confuse the enemy and deter the opponent.

In real combat, it is debatable how much role it can play.

And another skill mastered by Xiao Fantasy, "Plagiarism", has a lot of requirements for himself and his opponent.

So.

If you want to improve the combat effectiveness of Xiaophantom as soon as possible, "Dancing Claw" is the most suitable direction.

This point has also been carefully considered by Li Changan.

Coupled with Xiao Huan's light and dexterous body, cat's steps that don't make much movement, and dark hair, he can definitely become an excellent assassin hidden in the dark.

"Little Fantasy, our primary training direction now is 'Dancing Claws'." Li Changan said.

"Meow~~~" Little Phantom muttered.

There was no objection.

Li Changan nodded and pointed to a small tree in front of him with satisfaction.

"Let's take a look at the strength of your 'dancing claws', and the target is this tree."

"Meow!!"

I saw the phantom cat leap up, and its claws staggered across it.

Bang!!

The bark was immediately torn through several sharp cuts, and sawdust was scattered everywhere.

"This is the 'dancing claw' of C-level proficiency."

Looking at the little illusion that glowed a little bit after landing, Li Changan muttered to himself in a low voice.

Then he put his palm on Xiao Phantom's head again, and used his ability to adjust the efficiency value of his "Dancing Claw" skill to a critical point of 25 points, which is just the lowest value of B-level proficiency.

"Try again."

Xiao Fan glanced at Li Changan suspiciously, and didn't ask anything, just turned his head and waved his claws at the trunk again.

Bang!!!

Whoa—

The bark cracked, thumb-sized blocks of wood burst out, and a large number of leaves were shaken off.

Penetrating!

"Squeak-"

It just so happened that the psychic mouse Xiaodouding, who was crawling on the tree at this time, fell down because of the vibration, and stood up dizzily after rolling to the ground.

"Squeak?"

Earthquake?

"Meow?"

Ignoring Douding's surprise, he looked down at his paws.

How did you get stronger?

This is not the first time.

After it was touched by Li Changan yesterday, the effect of the "Phantom" skill was also much stronger.

It's like, it's like, it's like....... A certain tipping point has been breached.

"Meow?"

How?

Xiao Phantom blinked his eyes, looking quite excited.

"Do you remember that feeling?" Li Changan didn't explain, just asked.

"Meow, woo......"

Xiao Phantom swung his tail, hurriedly arched Li Changan's hand, and stuck out his little tongue a little embarrassed.

Seeing it like this, Li Changan was suddenly dumbfounded.

Just once I want to let Xiao Phantom become familiar with the "dancing claw" of B level proficiency, that is definitely unrealistic.

"It's okay, next time you'll have to try to remember that feeling. If it doesn't work once, it will be twice, and if it doesn't work twice, it will be three times, but you have to remember one thing each time. ”

"Meow!!"

Xiao Phantom's face turned pale and nodded solemnly.

"Okay, come again."

Fortunately, Xiao Phantom's "Dancing Claw" efficiency value is not low, and there are not many values that he needs to adjust, so he can try many times.

Swish!! Swish!! Swish!!

After a dozen times, there were already quite a few tree trunks around, covered with scars.

"Meow~~~"

Just when Li Changan was about to let Xiao Phantom come again, the little guy stretched out his paw and presented it in front of him.

Saw.

The black fluffy ears and paws were wrapped in blood.

Its blue eyes were misted with water, making its eyes brighter.

It's just a little more pitiful and aggrieved.

Hurt.

Seeing this, Li Changan hurriedly grabbed the little guy's claws in the palm of his hand.

This is also one of the pitfalls of using skills across skill proficiency levels.

It will put a greater burden on the body and spirit of the spirit animal, thus causing damage to it.

"My bad." Li Changan apologized again and again.

Frow tightened.

He only counted the stinging pain in his mind, but ignored that after the efficiency value was adjusted, not only did he need to bear the pressure, but Xiao Fantasy was also under a lot of pressure.

Li Changan blamed himself from the bottom of his heart.

A soft tongue gently brushes the cheeks.

"Meow~"

But it does seem to be stronger.

When he looked up, he saw that Xiao Fan had put away the tears in his eyes and smiled at him.

At the same time, Li Changan noticed that some of the values of Xiaophantom had changed.

[Name]: Phantom Cat

[Endeavor]: 12

(Phantom): 6

(Plagiarism):2

(Dancing Claw): 4

[Efficiency]: 68

(Phantom): 24

(Plagiarism): 21

(Dancing Claw): 23

Among them, the effort value has increased from the original 9 points to 12 points, mainly because the effort value of the "Dancing Claw" skill has increased.

Besides.

The efficiency value of the "Claw Dance" skill has been increased by 3.

Although it has not yet reached the minimum standard of 25 points for B-level proficiency, it has improved a lot.

To know.

Because of the bleeding of Xiao Phantom's claws, the training of the "Dancing Claws" skill was only carried out for a short time.

But the results have been remarkable.

It can be seen that the training direction he formulated is correct.

It is best to prepare some medicines that can heal the wound in advance, so as to avoid unnecessary damage.

"Awesome."

Li Changan praised fiercely without hesitation.

"But then, let's do the basics."

Immediately, he changed to a tree, lay down and rested his ears, and Xiao Douding.

The collision between spirit beasts must not only be a confrontation between skills, but also strength, speed, reflexes, physical fitness, etc., all of which spirit beasts need to have.

Merely.

Like Xiao Phantom's body, if it is allowed to compete with spirit beasts such as the Caracal Wolf, it will undoubtedly be a short attack on the enemy.

The phantom cat is characterized by being sensitive.

That's why Li Changan chose Xiao Douding, who is also sensitive and long, as Xiao Fan's sparring partner.

"Meow~~"

"Squeak~~"

The two spirit beasts, Xiao Fan and Xiao Douding, squatted obediently in front of him, looking at him with four eyes.

Waiting for his arrangement.

How do you train?

Li Changan smiled.

"Quite simply, it's called cat and mouse."

Cat and mouse?

Xiao Fan and Xiao Douding showed doubts at the same time.

Immediately, Li Changan told them in detail about the specific content of the training.

It's easy to say.

In fact, Xiao Douding is responsible for escaping, and Xiao Fan is responsible for chasing.

Xiao Douding is smaller, and as a squirrel, he is also good at climbing trees, coupled with the complex terrain of the woods, and the strength of the fifth order of the security level, it is not easy for Xiao Fantasy to catch it.

In the pursuit, it can not only exercise the agility of Xiao Phantom, but also enhance its physical fitness, and also strengthen its ability to respond in time.

After listening to it, Xiao Phantom looked eager to try.

This kind of training can't be simply called training, and in its eyes, there is an element of play.

Combining training with play, this makes Xiao Phantom a little impatient.

"Squeak!!"

Xiao Douding clasped his hands to his chest, his face full of indignation.

We're not mice, we're squirrels! Squirrel!

"Good, good, squirrel squirrel." Li Changan smiled at it.

Clap your hands.

"Now, training begins!"

Whoosh –

As his words fell, Little Douding immediately spread his limbs and turned into a brown arrow at a great speed and shot straight at a large tree.

In the blink of an eye, it disappeared from view.

"Meow?"

Little Phantom was stunned.

Wasn't there just a debate about squirrels and mice?

Gritting his teeth, he muttered and chased after him.

The two little guys, in the grove, started a chase.

Li Changan nodded slightly.

"Using this method for initial training first also allows me to better understand the specific situation of Xiaofan, so that I can formulate a detailed training plan in the future."

Sit cross-legged on the ground.

There is also a stack of books next to it, which I read last night, and look for a matching description from it according to the actual situation.

Take out the banknotes and record while observing the state of Xiao Fan and Xiao Douding.

At the same time, record the equipment and food you will need for the next training.

Today's injury to the little phantom claw was a wake-up call for him.

You can't blindly train spirit beasts, you must prepare enough auxiliary materials.

At least.

To speed up the recovery of the spirit beast's state, some materials for healing the spirit beast's injuries must be prepared.

Secondly.

The food of Xiao Fan and Xiao Dou Ding can no longer be just ordinary food, and they need to buy special spirit beast food, so as to ensure that their strength can be improved more rhythmically.

At last.

Little Phantom now has mastered three skills, Phantom, Stealing, and Dancing Claw, of which only Dancing Claw is a real combat skill, and he has to find a way to expand its skill pool.

Meantime.

He also has some conjectures about the skill efficiency value and his ability to adjust the stats, which also requires Xiao Yu to test after learning new skills.

Whether it is Xiao Fantasy or him, it is the first time to train, although it is a little hasty and insufficient, but the cultivation of spirit beasts is a very deep knowledge, and he and Xiao Fantasy need to learn and progress at the same time.

Turning the contents of the books into his knowledge as soon as possible is the most important thing for him to do now.

It's just that, according to the content of the book, after writing down the approximate cost, Li Changan's face collapsed.

Boy.

No wonder it is said that it is easy to conclude a contract with a spirit animal, but it is difficult to cultivate a spirit animal.

"I have to go to the place where Ran Swordfish found Xiaodouding tonight, and I have to make extra money......."

One word.

Poor—
