Similarly, the skill fusion stone is a blue-level special item. Its introduction has several lines more than the Lucky Charm and Awakening Stone, making Xu Ran instantly aware of its value through the three annotations.

Is something that can seamlessly combine skills just a blue-level item? He couldn’t believe it.

As Xu Ran pondered, he opened Ziyun’s panel and selected two skills.

[★★Electric Spark] + [★★Electric Arc]

[Fusion Success Rate: o]

[Proceed with fusion?]

[Yes][No]

Xu Ran:

Did he do something wrong in the process?!

He switched the skills to try again.

[★Bite] + [★Claw Edge]

[Fusion Success Rate: 12.7°/o]

[Proceed with fusion?]

[Yes][No]

This time, the success rate seemed normal.

Perhaps, because Electric Spark and Electric Arc were both innate awakening skills, they couldn’t be combined?

He decided to try other skills.

Xu Ran replaced Claw Edge with Self-healing Power. The success rate instantly plummeted to 1.1%.

Just as he suspected.

Then, Xu Ran tried to fuse Claw Edge and Blood Fury with Bite, which resulted in success rates of 7.3% and 6.4%, respectively.

All seemed fine, but the best match was clearly Bite and Claw Edge.

Plus, these two skills were not that important for Ziyun.

So, he decided to give it a shot!

Xu Ran reselected the two skills and clicked on [Yes].

In front of him, it seemed as if two energy balls were colliding and grinding against each other, spinning quickly like yin and yang attempting to merge together, finally turning into a golden light.

Xu Ran took a deep breath, his face full of tension.

Did it succeed?!

The next moment, four big characters popped in front of him.

[Fusion failed]

Xu Ran:

With all these effects, he thought it was a success!

However, Xu Ran didn’t lose heart and chose the same two skills again.

[★Bite] + [*Claw Edge]

[Fusion Success Rate: 20.4%]

[Proceed with fusion?]

[Yes][No]

just as the item description stated, failing once improved the success rate for consecutive fusions – and the increment was not small.

Xu Ran only regretted not keeping Liu Gu’s Lucky Fish in his shop.

“Once more!” He shouted, clicking on [Yes] again.

The same special effects flashed past and four characters popped up in front of

Xu Ran.

[Fusion success]

It worked!

Xu Ran enthusiastically waved his fists twice before turning his head to look at the mystified Ziyun in his arms. “How are you feeling?”

How was it feeling?

Ziyun blinked.

It only felt that its memory of the original two skills had suddenly blurred, replaced by a brand new skill.

Moreover, this brand new skill seemed to completely supplant the previous two skills and was stronger!

Recalling the sensation when it learned a new skill, Ziyun’s eyes widened.

Did the Beast Master do it again?!

“That’s right, it was me again.” Sensing Ziyun’s thoughts, Xu Ran rubbed its head, before opening its panel.

[Contract Pet Beast: Ziyun]

Race name: Electric Chasing Cat

Attribute: Thunder Attribute

Growth stage: Transcendent Stage (147/500)

Race stage: Leader Species

Skills:

[★★Electric Spark (Stardust Level)] (21/100)

[★★Electric Arc (Stardust Level)] (25/100)

[★★Battle Instinct (Stardust Level)] (1/100)

[★Self-healing Power (Stardust Level)] (13/100)

[★Blood Fury (Stardust Level)] (0/100)]

Two stars skill, Battle Instinct!

“Ziyun, try using Battle Instinct!”

Meow- (Ok!)

Ziyun tore its gaze away from admiring the Beast Master, lightly jumped from Xu Ran’s arms onto the ground, then tried to perform its newly mastered skill.

Unlike the original Bite skill which used its sharp teeth, and the Claw Edge skill which used its sharp claws, the Battle Instinct skill covered a large area.

Sharp teeth, sharp claws, every part of its body, even its tail became powerful weapons under the influence of Battle Instinct.

Moreover, what it improved was not limited to offensive strength, but another aspect as well.

That was agility!

Cats are a particularly agile species. With Battle Instinct, Ziyun can freely control every part of its body, bringing its agility to another level.

If the previous two skills were relatively less effective for Ziyun, which mainly used Electric Spark for long-range attacks, then the new skill is undoubtedly of greater significance. The sourc𝗲 of this content nov(𝒆l)bi((n))

After a simple test, Xu Ran’s eyes glowed.

“Let’s go! We are going to train!”

After washing eight Pet Beasts today, he couldn’t run the shop anymore.

They are leaving the city tomorrow, so the remaining time should be spent on getting Ziyun familiar with the new skill and preparing for their trip.

“Click- – Squeak- – Bang!”

Sitting in the room, as the sound of the security door opening and closing came from outside, Duan Anxun’s face suddenly tensed up. She sat upright, staring meticulously at the notebook in front of her, as if trying to burn holes in it with her eyes.

“Tap-Tap-Tap-”

The sound of footsteps in slippers grew closer and closer. Each step seemed to land on Duan Anxun’s heartbeats, causing her breathing to stutter slightly.

“An Xun.”

An elegantly short-haired woman walked in. Her slender eyebrows exuded a touch of fierceness, and her eyes, like a mist, hid her emotions well.

She sat down next to Duan An Xun and looked at her calmly, “Your class teacher told me that you lost to a classmate in the Appearance Assessment and didn’t earn a spot in the Youth Beast Master Pet Beast Beauty Contest. Is that right?”

“Yes… it is.” Duan Anxun’s voice was a little hoarse and she found it hard to speak. “Mother, I’m sorry.”

“Turn around, look at my eyes.”

Her tone remained calm, yet it made Duan Anxun feel her heart sinking.

She slowly turned her chair to face the woman beside her, lifted her head to look into the woman’s eyes, then involuntarily averted her gaze, before forcing herself to look again, repeating the process.

“A week ago, I was chatting casually with your Aunt Li about the Youth Beast Master Pet Beast Beauty Contest. She’s one of the judges, and I told her you’d be taking part in the competition.” The woman calmly spoke as she looked at her daughter, who bore a strong resemblance to her.

“A couple of days ago, your Aunt Wang told me that her daughter, He Qianqian, had secured her place in the competition…” the woman paused momentarily, “When you were younger, you often played together and Aunt Wang often told her to learn from you.”

The woman’s steady narration made Duan Anxun’s hand, resting on the chair, tremble slightly.

“I have dealt with the matter of the competition spot.” The woman calmly looked at her daughter, “But I hope there won’t be a next time for an issue like this.”

“I have a business party to attend tonight, stay at home and…” The woman slowly stood up and glanced at the Colorful Cloud Parrot that had been silent all this while, “Prepare to join me at the party tonight.”

Without waiting for Duan An Xun to respond, she turned and walked out of the
