Chapter 190 The Beginning of Special Training
The afterglow of the setting sun sprinkled on Lingchong Valley, covering the valley with a layer of golden gauze. The towering peaks were looming in the mist, and the crisp bird calls in the mountains added a bit of tranquility.
Gao Xingchen and Nan Li came flying on their swords and saw from afar two old men standing side by side at the entrance of the valley. One of them had a tall stature and sharp eyes. He was Coach Qin, a well-known spirit pet trainer in the star field; the other was Granny Wu, who had a kind face and a vigorous spirit. It was said that she knew the habits of spirit beasts like the back of her hand, and all the spirit pets trained by her became the best in their respective fields without exception.
"Coach Qin, Granny Wu, sorry to have kept you waiting for a long time." After Gao Xingchen landed, he saluted with his fists clasped.
"Xingchen, you're here." Coach Qin smiled cheerfully, "I've heard of your name a long time ago. Seeing you today, I realize that you are indeed a hero at a young age!"
"Coach Qin, thank you for your praise." Gao Xingchen said modestly, "I'll have to trouble you and Granny Wu for this special training."
"Haha, as it should be. We are also training talents for the Star Region!" Coach Qin patted Gao Xingchen on the shoulder and turned his gaze to the arrogant Xiao Hei at the side. "This is your spirit pet, Xiao Hei, right? It is indeed a rare and good seedling!"
"Xiao Hei, come and meet Coach Qin and Granny Wu." Gao Xingchen patted Xiao Hei's head gently.
Xiao Hei walked up to the two elders obediently, stood up, saluted with his front paws, and called out in a baby voice, "Hello, Coach Qin, Hello, Granny Wu!"
"Oh, this little fellow is really clever!" Granny Wu stroked Xiao Hei's head with a smile, "Xingchen, your Xiao Hei is not simple. I have lived for so long, but this is the first time I have seen a pet with such high talent!"
Hearing Granny Wu's praise, Xiao Hei became even more proud. He puffed out his chest and looked very proud, as if to say, "Of course!"
"Okay, it's getting late, let's get started." Coach Qin said, "Xingchen, let me first introduce you to the plan for this special training..."
Coach Qin took Gao Xingchen and Xiao Hei to an empty training ground, pointed to a series of training equipment in front of them, and explained in detail the next training arrangement. Physical training, skill training, intelligence training... Each training was arranged in an orderly and step-by-step manner.
"Xiao Hei, you have to work hard in the next period of time!" Gao Xingchen looked down at Xiao Hei, his eyes full of anticipation.
"Woof!" Xiao Hei barked excitedly. He couldn't wait to start training.
"Okay, let's get started!" Coach Qin gave an order and the special training officially began.
The first thing to do was physical training. Coach Qin designed a set of high-intensity obstacle course training for Xiao Hei, including crossing obstacles, passing through fire rings, climbing rock walls, etc. Looking at these difficult obstacles, Gao Xingchen was a little worried, but Xiao Hei seemed full of confidence. He stretched his muscles and rushed out like an arrow...
Xiao Hei's figure on the training ground was like a black lightning. It nimbly dodged obstacles, nimbly jumped over the fire ring, and climbed the rock wall easily. It completed a series of difficult movements in one go without any delay.
"Well done, Xiao Hei!" Gao Xingchen couldn't help but cheer for Xiao Hei.
Coach Qin was watching Xiao Hei's performance from the side, his eyes full of admiration. He stroked his beard and said, "Xingchen, your Xiao Hei is really amazing! Its speed, strength and coordination are all outstanding among the spirit pets I have ever seen, and it also has amazing endurance. After running through this circle of obstacles, it didn't even breathe hard!"
Gao Xingchen was even more delighted when he heard this. He turned to look at Xiao Hei, only to see that Xiao Hei had completed the last obstacle and was standing at the finish line in high spirits, sticking out his tongue, wagging his tail, and looking for praise.
"Xiao Hei, you are so awesome!" Gao Xingchen walked up to him with a smile and touched Xiao Hei's head, his eyes full of doting.
Xiao Hei rubbed Gao Xingchen's palm happily and let out a happy low moan.
"Okay, let's stop here for the physical training. Next we will move on to skills training." Coach Qin said, "Granny Wu, I'll trouble you next."
"Don't worry, leave it to me." Granny Wu said with a smile. She took out a piece of fragrant dried meat from her arms and handed it to Xiao Hei. "Xiao Hei, do you want to learn more powerful skills?"
Xiao Hei sniffed the dried meat and his eyes suddenly lit up. He swallowed the dried meat without hesitation and looked at Grandma Wu expectantly.
"Haha, you are such a greedy little guy!" Granny Wu was amused by Xiao Hei's appearance. "But you must remember that if you want to learn more powerful skills, you can't just eat, you have to work hard!"
Xiao Hei nodded as if he understood. Although he was greedy, he also knew the importance of learning.
Granny Wu brought Xiao Hei to an open space. She pointed to a big tree not far away and said, "Xiao Hei, do you see that tree? Now try to attack it with your strength and speed."
Upon hearing this, Xiao Hei immediately mobilized all his strength and rushed towards the big tree. He waved his sharp claws and grabbed the trunk fiercely.
With a loud "bang", the tree shook violently, but only a few shallow scratches were left on the trunk.
"Hmm? Your strength is still not concentrated enough." Granny Wu stroked her chin and pondered, "Xiao Hei, you have to remember that when you attack, you have to concentrate all your strength on one point. This way you can exert the greatest power."
As she spoke, Granny Wu stretched out her finger and lightly tapped the trunk of the tree. A visible energy wave spread out from her fingertips and instantly enveloped the entire tree.
The next moment, there was a crisp "crack" sound, and the thick tree broke in the middle and collapsed with a loud bang.
Xiao Hei looked at the scene in amazement. Only then did he realize how big the gap was between himself and Granny Wu. His eyes were suddenly filled with awe.
"Okay, now try again." Granny Wu retracted her finger and said to Xiao Hei.
Xiao Hei took a deep breath, closed his eyes, and carefully recalled Granny Wu's movements and key points, then suddenly opened his eyes and rushed towards another tree again. This time, Xiao Hei did not rush to attack, but kept running around the tree, looking for the best attack point. Suddenly, Xiao Hei moved, and rushed to the tree at lightning speed, concentrating all his strength on his right claw, and fiercely grabbed a point on the tree trunk.
"Crack!" With a crisp sound, the big tree broke and the huge crown fell to the ground.
"Good!" Granny Wu couldn't help but applaud, "Xiao Hei, you are so smart! You mastered the technique of concentrating your strength so quickly!"
Xiao Hei wagged his tail happily, knowing that he had succeeded.
After the strength training, Granny Wu started to train Xiao Hei’s intelligence. The intelligence training was to improve Xiao Hei’s thinking ability through puzzles and strategy games. Unexpectedly, Xiao Hei showed amazing talent in intelligence training. He could always find the key to solving problems quickly, and even come up with some clever methods that Granny Wu hadn’t thought of.
"It's amazing, Xiao Hei, you are really the smartest pet I have ever seen!" Granny Wu couldn't help but exclaimed.
Gao Xingchen watched Xiao Hei's performance from the side, his heart filled with pride and honor. He believed that Xiao Hei would become a powerful spiritual pet in the future.
After the first day of intense and fulfilling special training, Gao Xingchen and Xiao Hei both felt exhausted, but their hearts were filled with joy and anticipation. They both believed that as long as they persisted, Xiao Hei would definitely become stronger!
However, just when Gao Xingchen and Xiao Hei were about to go back to rest, an uninvited guest suddenly appeared in front of them.
"Hey, isn't this Gao Xingchen? Why, are you bringing your Xiao Hei here for special training?" A sarcastic voice came from not far away.
Gao Xingchen looked up and saw a young man in brocade clothes walking towards them with a snow-white pet. This young man was none other than Prince Wang, who had a grudge with Gao Xingchen at the auction. And the snow-white pet beside him was Prince Wang's masterpiece - Xiaobai.
As soon as Xiaobai saw Xiaohei, he bared his teeth and growled, his eyes full of hostility. Xiaohei also growled back without showing any weakness, and the atmosphere between the man and the pet suddenly became tense.
Gao Xingchen saw this and suddenly had an ominous premonition in his heart. He felt vaguely that the road to special training in the future might not be as smooth as it was today...
