Chapter 27
Meeting Qiao Gu Bai Again, Bai Zi An's Test!

Yes, the White Scale Fish’s level has been raised to Unranked 8th Rank.

Although it is still slightly below the 9th Rank that Bai Zi An expected.

But, according to Bai Zi An’s expectations.

If the White Scale Fish is given a fierce battle, it should be able to advance to the 9th Rank.

However, what made Bai Zi An even more delighted was that the proficiency of the Bubble Layer skill had been raised to the Mastery level.

This was a very remarkable improvement.

Because the later the skill proficiency, the slower the improvement speed.

For a skill, to upgrade from the initial Entry level to the Adept level, it may only take a few months or a year.

But to upgrade from Adept to Mastery, it may take several years.

The time cost of this process directly increases by a factor of several times.

Therefore, for the past week, Bai Zi An didn't let the White Scale Fish train the Bubble Layer at all.

Instead, he let the White Scale Fish focus on training the “Water Flow Crack” skill.

After all, this was a blue skill.

If mastered, it could greatly enhance the combat power of the White Scale Fish.

For this reason, the Water Flow Crack skill was upgraded to the Adept level by Bai Zi An.

However, Bai Zi An didn’t expect that the Bubble Layer skill had reached Mastery.

The reason for this is most likely that the White Scale Fish had to use the Bubble Layer constantly because it was inconvenient to move in the volcanic area.

Using it again and again allowed the White Scale Fish to develop a deep understanding of the Bubble Layer skill, which resulted in this current situation.

This was an unexpected bonus.

It’s getting a bit off-topic, the most important thing now is to let the White Scale Fish advance to the 9th Rank.

This is the most important thing.

“The White Scale Fish needs a fierce battle to advance.”

“However, for the current White Scale Fish, to feel pressure, it probably needs an opponent of top Black Iron level.”

“It seems that I want to find a top Black Iron Candle Flame Spider leader.”

Bai Zi An muttered, pondering the current situation.

Top Black Iron Candle Flame Spiders are the limit of the Candle Flame Spider’s growth.

This level of Candle Flame Spider can already gather a group of its kind and establish a small spider nest.

Therefore, it is also called the Candle Flame Spider Leader.

To be honest, this is the situation that Beast Tamer adventurers in the Candle Flame Volcano most don’t want to encounter.

Although it's just a small spider nest, there are at least a dozen Candle Flame Spiders.

A dozen Candle Flame Spiders attacking at the same time, launching endless attacks, leaving almost no time to breathe.

For low-level Beast Tamers, that's a nightmare.

As for Bai Zi An, why he has his eyes on the Candle Flame Spider Leader, it is naturally related to the White Scale Fish.

There’s no way around it, the White Scale Fish's true fighting strength is simply too amazing.

Although the White Scale Fish has not yet advanced to the 9th Rank, it is only Unranked 8th Rank.

However, the White Scale Fish's strength has already grown to a very amazing level.

Once, Bai Zi An encountered a high-level Black Iron Candle Flame Spider.

But in front of the White Scale Fish, the high-level Black Iron Candle Flame Spider couldn’t even withstand one attack from the White Scale Fish.

One blow struck out.

The high-level Black Iron Candle Flame Spider was instantly killed.

Bai Zi An was both delighted and helpless about this.

Therefore, Bai Zi An could only look for Candle Flame Spiders of a higher level.

Otherwise, the White Scale Fish wouldn’t be able to feel any pressure.

In fact, Bai Zi An has always felt that top Black Iron Candle Flame Spiders might not be able to put pressure on the White Scale Fish.

After all, facing that high-level Black Iron Candle Flame Spider before, the White Scale Fish's performance was too easy.

Top Black Iron Candle Flame Spider Leaders might not be able to put any pressure on the White Scale Fish.

But, you never know the outcome without trying.

Therefore, Bai Zi An went deep into the Candle Flame Volcano to look for a suitable opponent.

Sasa~

At this moment, there was a sound from the grass nearby.

In an instant, Bai Zi An got ready to fight, ready to summon the White Scale Fish at any moment.

However, it was not a Candle Flame Spider that came out of the grass, but a female student wearing an old school uniform.

“Qiao Gu Bai, why is she here?”

Bai Zi An muttered in his heart, seeming a little surprised.

Because the one who appeared in front of him was the female high school student with a special S-level talent that he had been eyeing before.

“You are… the boy from the Thousand Blades Centipede train?”

“I remember your name is… Bai Zi An, what are you doing here?”

Qiao Gu Bai was a little surprised to see Bai Zi An, wondering how Bai Zi An ended up in the Candle Flame Volcano.

After all, this is the Candle Flame Volcano, the territory of the Candle Flame Spiders.

It seems that Bai Zi An came in with his elders.

However, Bai Zi An currently looks like a lone wolf, not with anyone else.

Could it be that Bai Zi An, like her, got separated from his teachers and classmates?

Qiao Gu Bai had some guesses in her mind.

For a moment, Qiao Gu Bai hesitated.

Logically, since she encountered Bai Zi An alone, she should help him.

After all, Bai Zi An doesn't look very old, he may not have a contracted beast yet and become a Beast Tamer.

However, her situation isn’t great either.

Because she is rather solitary, she always walks at the back of the group.

Plus, due to an unexpected commotion, she got separated from her teacher and classmates.

This is not good.

After all, this is deep within the Candle Flame Volcano, where dangers lurk everywhere.

She is struggling to survive on her own.

If she takes on a burden, it will be even more troublesome.

To put it bluntly, the best thing for her now is to turn around and leave immediately, alone.

But, if she lets Bai Zi An stay in this dangerous Candle Flame Volcano, she can't bear to do it.

Therefore, Qiao Gu Bai was caught in a dilemma.

Qiao Gu Bai was in a dilemma, while Bai Zi An looked at Qiao Gu Bai with interest.

After all, when they were on the Centipede train, Bai Zi An was quite interested in Qiao Gu Bai.

He even used the Bai family’s power to get her information.

Just in time, perhaps he can use this opportunity to test her a bit.

“Sister Qiao, I came in with my uncle, hoping to find a suitable beast.”

“I didn't expect to get separated from my uncle.”

“Sister Qiao, can I go with you?”

Bai Zi An put on a frightened look and asked Qiao Gu Bai for help.

“Okay, it's too dangerous here, you stay by my side.”

“Don't worry, I will take you out of the Candle Flame Volcano.”

Qiao Gu Bai furrowed her brows, thought for a while before making a decision.

Although she is struggling to survive now.

But, since she met Bai Zi An, she wouldn’t watch him die here.

This is what Qiao Gu Bai thinks.

“Her temper is okay, but she needs more observation.”

Bai Zi An put on a ‘grateful’ look, but secretly gave Qiao Gu Bai a score in his heart.

But this way, he is no longer in a hurry to find the Candle Flame Spider Leader and plans to follow Qiao Gu Bai for a while longer and observe.

For this reason, Bai Zi An followed Qiao Gu Bai in the following time.
