With a single move, White Scale Fish instantly killed the Candle Flame Spider.
Bai Zi An was slightly surprised by this.
A fifth-rank Candle Flame Spider, couldn't even withstand a single attack from a third-rank White Scale Fish.
It seemed like the White Scale Fish's true combat power was quite formidable.
However, what shocked Bai Zi An even more was the effect of the skill the White Scale Fish had used.
Normally, the power of Water Gun would at most pierce through the Candle Flame Spider's head, leaving a hole.
But now, the Candle Flame Spider was like ignited dynamite, exploding directly and turning to dust.
This didn't seem like the effect of Water Gun.
But upon reflection, Bai Zi An understood.
This was the effect of the White Scale Fish's A-rank talent, "Water Flow Rupture."
【Water Flow Rupture】: Allows attack-type Water skills to be imbued with a rupture impact effect.
This was why the Candle Flame Spider exploded into fragments.
It has to be said, this talent seemed to have an unexpected effect on attack-type Water skills.
This was a good discovery.
"However, this means I need to find stronger Candle Flame Spiders."
"Only spirit beasts with higher strength can provide some pressure for the White Scale Fish."
Bai Zi An muttered to himself, pondering this question.
His main purpose for coming to the Candle Flame Volcano was to train the White Scale Fish.
If it was always one-hit kills, what training effect would there be for the White Scale Fish?
Therefore, Bai Zi An needed to find stronger Candle Flame Spiders as opponents, so that they could bring some pressure for the White Scale Fish to grow.
On the other hand, Bai Zi An also intended to use this opportunity to refine the White Scale Fish's skills.
His White Scale Fish was very special, having five skills from birth.
All these skills needed to be practiced one by one, before they could be mastered.
On the other hand, spirit beast skills aren't something that can be used just by learning them.
The same skill, in the hands of different spirit beasts, will also produce different effects and power.
Like a novice swordsman and a world-renowned swordsman, using the same chop, the effect created will also be vastly different.
The novice swordsman's chop might not even be able to cut a blade of grass.
But the world-renowned swordsman could cleave a mountain in two with a single chop.
This is skill proficiency.
The Beastmaster world has developed for many years now, and the situation of skill proficiency has also been thoroughly researched.
According to different levels, skill proficiency is divided into five stages, namely: Entering the Door, Reaching the Chamber, Fusing Heaven and Earth, Mastery, and Peak.
Of course, this is an old saying.
Later, for popularization purposes, it was simplified to Beginner, Skilled, Minor Success, Major Success, and Perfection.
Training the White Scale Fish's skills, allowing it to fully master them, was also one of Bai Zi An's goals for this training.
With this in mind, Bai Zi An made a decision.
With that thought, Bai Zi An, accompanied by the White Scale Fish, headed towards the deeper region of the Candle Flame Volcano, starting a new round of hunting.
Time flew by, and a week passed in a blink of an eye.
When Bai Zi An reappeared, the clothes he was wearing seemed to be dirtier, not as clean as they were at the beginning.
Because this past week, Bai Zi An hadn't left the Candle Flame Volcano, he had been hunting Candle Flame Spiders the entire time.
And after a week of fighting, the White Scale Fish's strength had undergone a drastic change.
【Species】: White Scale Fish (Water type)
【Rank】: Sixth Rank (Unranked)
【Talent】: Flowing God Speed (S), Yin-Yang Power (S), Water Flow Rupture (A)
【Aptitude】: Mid-Level King
【Skills】: Water Flow Speed (Purple, Beginner), Yin-Yang Water Erosion (Purple, Beginner), Water Flow Rupture (Blue, Skilled), Water Gun Blast (Green, Minor Success), Bubble Layer (Green, Minor Success)
In just seven days, the White Scale Fish's rank had increased from the Unranked third rank to the sixth rank.
This entire process spanned three levels.
If the high school students from Mine Rock City whom he had met previously knew about this, they would be speechless with shock.
Because it had taken them a whole year to raise their pet beasts to the fifth or sixth rank.
But Bai Zi An had only taken a week to raise the White Scale Fish to this level.
The gap between them was simply unimaginable.
However, it was normal for the White Scale Fish to have such growth.
On the one hand, the aptitude of ordinary spirit beasts was inherently vastly different from that of the White Scale Fish.
After all, the White Scale Fish was a King-potential spirit beast.
In terms of growth, it already had a huge advantage.
On the other hand, Bai Zi An's Mythical Beastmaster Space had a side effect that promoted the growth of pet beasts and reduced their growth time.
Most importantly, the White Scale Fish was still in a period of rapid growth.
After spirit beast cubs are born, they have a period of rapid growth and development.
Because of the rules of survival in the wilderness, if they don't have enough strength, they won't be able to survive.
Therefore, many spirit beasts or animals have this instinct.
This is also the same for humans.
When human babies are first born, they are very small.
But in two or three years, they're enough to grow to a certain height, even able to walk and run.
This can be considered the law of nature.
The White Scale Fish's growth period wasn't over yet, and it was still in the spirit beast cub stage.
According to Bai Zi An's guess, it wouldn't end until the White Scale Fish ascended to the Iron Tier.
At that time, the White Scale Fish would enter a long period of growth.
On the other hand, the Bai family was rich in resources, and Bai Zi An had never been lacking in food for the White Scale Fish.
The food the White Scale Fish normally ate was all made from the most suitable spirit beast meat for it.
Even though Bai Zi An was deep within the Candle Flame Volcano, the Protection Team would still deliver the White Scale Fish's food to him at regular intervals.
After all, the purpose of Bai Zi An's training was to exercise the White Scale Fish, not to abuse it.
The better the White Scale Fish grew, the more beneficial it would be for Bai Zi An in the future.
This was a truth that the Bai family also knew.
So, Bai Jing Chong didn't interfere in this matter, and tacitly allowed the Protection Team to deliver food to the White Scale Fish at regular intervals.
For this reason, the White Scale Fish was able to directly cross three levels in just a week.
This was a considerable achievement.
However, for Bai Zi An, there was an even greater gain.
That was the result of the White Scale Fish's training in its skills.
