Chapter 2077: Chapter 240: Two Super-levels? (Double-length)

Steel Authority Emperor Extreme, what an overbearing name. Just from hearing the species name, even people who don’t know Steel Authority Emperor Extreme would know it’s an Emperor Level Pet Beast... Qiao Sang sighed inwardly and shifted her gaze downward.

The Power of Bond really is insanely strong, it actually pushed a Mid-King Level Energy directly up to Early-stage Emperor.

Though every time Yaobao and the others evolve, they always manage, via brutal evolution conditions or items, to have Energy far surpassing other Pet Beasts that just completed evolution at the same stage right from the start.

Even with a perfect evolution, Gangbao wouldn’t get that kind of effect; she had no idea what condition could make up for this.

Looks like she’d have to ask Teacher Mikaela tomorrow... Qiao Sang continued looking downward.

When she saw the data below, she was stunned for a second, then overjoyed.

The Mirror Armor Trait actually jumped straight from A-level to S-rank!

Normally, when there’s a huge Level and Energy gap between the two sides, reflection-type Traits just stop working.

With an S-rank Mirror Armor Trait, she figured that even if an Early-stage Emperor Level Pet Beast used debuff moves or Trait-targeting Skills, there was still a chance to bounce them back.

But that was just speculation; best to find a chance to test it.

Nice, nice. Hardheaded and spiritual power also both got boosted thanks to the evolution.

As for Gangbao’s Power of Bond reaching S-rank Full Level, she wasn’t particularly surprised.

Back that night when Gangbao first started glowing white, when she checked the Beast Taming Codex, she had already seen that the Power of Bond had become S-rank.

Qiao Sang directly skipped past the S-rank Power of Bond and looked at the two new Traits Gangbao had gained.

Heavy Metal: Pet Beasts with this Trait have their body weight doubled, increasing the power of weight-type Skills.

An S-rank Heavy Metal can, through self-control, stack several more multiples of weight onto its own body, further boosting the power of weight-type Skills.

She remembered Gangbao had the Mount Tai Top Pressure Skill, and it had basically already reached Completion Late Stage; give it a bit more training and it could be practiced up to Mystique Level.

Qiao Sang mentally replayed the scene of Gangbao unleashing a Mystique Level Mount Tai Top Pressure under the S-rank Heavy Metal Trait and couldn’t help getting excited.

An S-rank Heavy Metal Trait plus a Mystique Level Mount Tai Top Pressure would probably already be comparable in power to some Super-level Attack Skills.

She suppressed the excitement in her heart and let her gaze fall on the other Trait.

Steel Heart: when using Attack Skills, it can raise special defense.

Another defensive power-boosting Trait. Among Pet Beasts at the same stage, even those pure offense-type ones would probably find it hard to break through Gangbao’s defense... Qiao Sang was both satisfied and emotional as her eyes quickly moved down to the Skills column.

The Skills, solid as a rock, had increased by three.

Gale, a High-level Flying-type Skill; Qingbao actually knew this move too.

Gangbao might know Wild Wind, but there was still a distinct gap between Wild Wind and Gale.

Wild Wind, although also listed as a High-level Skill, mainly targets Flying-type Pet Beasts in the air; as long as ground-based Pet Beasts have a stable enough footing, many of them can stay rooted in place and just tank through it.

Gale is different; its power is much stronger than Wild Wind’s, but still not enough to be classified as a Super-level Skill, so it’s placed under High-level.

Absolute Defense, a Super-level Defense Skill.

The Skill’s Level flashed through Qiao Sang’s mind, and her eyes suddenly lit up.

She didn’t get too worked up though; after all, these days every time Yaobao and the others evolve, a Super-level Skill basically pops out, which has seriously raised her excitement threshold.

Absolute Defense, as the name suggests, grants absolute defensive ability. Even if it’s just entry-level Absolute Defense used by an Emperor Level Pet Beast, it can still block a lethal blow from an Emperor Level, or even a Venerable Pet Beast. 𝚏𝐫𝚎𝗲𝕨𝐞𝐛𝕟𝚘𝐯𝚎𝗹.𝕔𝐨𝗺

It’s just that the duration might only last one second before disappearing.

Even so, Absolute Defense is still the top-most layer of the pyramid of all Defense Skills.

The later you go in a Pet Beast’s Level, the more astronomical each minor stage difference becomes. A Mystique Level High-level Defense Skill might be able to block attacks from a Pet Beast one minor stage higher, but two minor stages up already gets difficult.

If it’s a full major stage difference, like between King Level and Emperor Level, then there’s absolutely no way it can defend.

Yet the Super-level Skill Absolute Defense can.

She had actually thought before about letting Little Treasure Spirit or Qingbao learn Absolute Defense in the future, so she had done some research.

At entry level, Absolute Defense lasts three seconds; if it takes an extremely powerful hit—say from an opponent one major Level higher, or even two major Levels higher—then the duration will shrink.
