Chapter 2036: Chapter 223: Power of Bond Enhanced? (Double Chapter)

Oh no, I might not be able to claim the prize... Qiao Sang felt a slight heaviness in her heart and said:

"I got it."

After saying that, she hung up the phone.

Just then, her phone vibrated and a message came through:

[Dear Tingbao contestant, congratulations on winning first place in the Pet Beast Free Points Competition. Please bring your Identity Bracelet to the Prize Exchange Center at 101 Quanyi Street within seven natural days to exchange for your prize. If you exceed seven natural days, it will be considered as forfeiting the prize.]

Flame Sky Star hosts many competitions, with various sizes and levels, and even some hosted by Pet Beast organizations.

When Pet Beasts host competitions, they want to appear more official, requiring registration and various processes that humans help manage.

Many competitions don’t have fixed venues or onsite award ceremonies, so an official prize claim platform trusted by Beast Tamers and Pet Beasts is necessary.

Thus, the Prize Exchange Center was established.

The Prize Exchange Center specializes in award exchanges for winners of various sized competitions without fixed venues.

Mikaela noticed Qiao Sang’s expression wasn’t right and asked:

"What’s wrong?"

"Tingbao needs to soak in the Energy Pool within a week, or the prize will be invalid." Qiao Sang put down her phone and sighed.

"Ting Ting."

Upon hearing this, Tingbao immediately stopped eating the Energy Pills and shouted, expressing its intention to go soak right away.

"No." Qiao Sang said, "You haven’t had your third shedding yet."

"Ting Ting?"

Tingbao showed a puzzled expression and shouted.

Does it have to undergo the third shedding to soak in the Energy Pool?

Qiao Sang was stunned for a moment, perhaps not necessarily...

Mikaela, while eating a sandwich, said:

"The Energy Pool reward in the Pet Beast Free Points Battle only has the energy for intermediate Pet Beasts to instantly evolve to high-level, but some Pet Beasts need other evolution conditions to reach high-level. You can just let the Thunder Dragon soak in the Energy Pool, its next evolutionary stage requires the Million Volts for Body Refining, and simply soaking won’t trigger evolution."

No, with the Golden Finger, as long as there’s sufficient energy, it can evolve... Qiao Sang thought to herself.

But she wasn’t as worried as before.

As Teacher Mikaela said, the Energy Pool rewards just have the energy to directly evolve intermediate Pet Beasts to high-level, so all she needs to do is let Tingbao wear the Immutable Stone, ensuring this reward isn’t wasted, while filling up with energy at the current stage.

"I understand now." Qiao Sang pretended to have just grasped the concept and said.

"Gangbao?"

At this moment, Gangbao’s voice resonated in her mind.

What is a Golden Finger?

"!!!"

"You heard what I was just thinking?" Qiao Sang’s emotions spun in a whirlwind, she quickly questioned in her mind.

"Gangbao?"

Gangbao gave its Beast Tamer a surprised look and responded internally.

We have the Power of Bond, knowing what you’re thinking is quite normal, isn’t it?

No, it’s not normal at all. You couldn’t sense anything about the Golden Finger before... Qiao Sang’s heartbeat unconsciously accelerated.

Rather than feel her privacy invaded because Gangbao could suddenly sense her thoughts regarding the Golden Finger, she was somewhat excited.

Since Gangbao could sense things it couldn’t before, does that mean their Power of Bond is increasing!

Gangbao sensed its Beast Tamer’s thoughts, paused for a moment, feeling a wave of warmth in its heart.

Then it thought of something and shouted in its mind:

"Gangbao?"

Since our Power of Bond is increasing, can we shield our inner thoughts?

Qiao Sang’s heart fluttered, and she said internally:

"We can try."

After saying that, she began to control her inner thoughts: "Gangbao is really smart."

Gangbao did not respond.

Seeing this, Qiao Sang’s heart moved, she continued to probe in her mind: "Gangbao, can you still hear what I’m thinking?"

Gangbao did not respond.

Qiao Sang was overjoyed.

Great, the Power of Bond between her and Gangbao has finally evolved to the point where they can shield their inner thoughts! Heaven knows sometimes when sitting on Gangbao, it’s so hard, she dares not to have too many thoughts.

"Gangbao."

While thinking that, Gangbao’s voice then appeared in her mind.

It can hear.

Qiao Sang: "..."

Qiao Sang began eating her meal quietly.

Gangbao, expressionless, started munching on the Energy Pills.

...

After breakfast, Tingbao instinctively showed an eager expression, ready to set off.

Suddenly realizing the competition was over, it thought for a while, choosing to stay by its Beast Tamer’s side.
