Chapter 576: Are You Sure You Want to Put This in the Textbook?
Xiao Chuihuo almost spat out a mouthful of old blood back then!
I never should have agreed to your terms back then!
Sure, I gave you the mountain, but you can't play it like this, can you?
Is my tribulation just never going to pass, right?
[From Xiao Chuihuo...]
Riding a giant griffin like that, you really think you can fly to the heavens?
Griffin? Wait!
Where did Jiangnan get a griffin? And it's Gold rank?
Did that kid hatch that egg?
Born at Gold rank? That can't be right, damn it!
But at this moment, Jiangnan, who was completely caught up in the excitement, didn't care about any of that!
He directly ordered Xiao Jiuwo to use her third Spirit Art!
Xiao Jiuwo's Spiritual Energy surged around her, and she dove toward the back mountain at a terrifying speed exceeding Mach 2!
The blue dot on her cheek bloomed with a faint blue light!
The next moment, her whole body, covered in fiery red crystal-like feathers, instantly turned a deep blue!
Her feathers gave off a crystalline, translucent feeling, as if forged from blue ice!
A wave of extreme cold spread outward!
Xiao Jiuwo opened her mouth and sprayed toward the back mountain!
A stream of silvery white, extremely cold air dozens of meters in diameter blasted out!
Just moments ago, the back mountain had been pitted, covered in lava, and blazing with towering flames. Under the blast of frigid air, it suddenly froze!
The lava solidified, and the burning giant trees turned into popsicles, covered in a thick layer of frost!
A thousand-meter radius was instantly frozen solid, stirring up thick white mist that shrouded the surroundings.
With the expansion from heat and contraction from cold, everything frozen turned to dust when the wind blew!
Xiao Jiuwo turned her head back toward Jiangnan with a proud look.
(◍≧ᴗ≦◍)
"Master～ Is Xiao Jiuwo impressive?"
Jiangnan was stunned!
Dual attributes? Actually dual attributes?
Can use both ice and fire? These are two completely opposite elemental systems!
So the one red and one blue blush on her cheeks represent the two attributes?
Can she freely switch between ice and fire forms?
The fiery red form earlier was already super cool, but now this deep blue form is just beautiful enough to make one cry, okay?
Jiangnan's face was flushed with excitement!
This is too awesome!
At this moment, Xiao Chuihuo stared wide-eyed, his face full of disbelief.
"This... how is this possible?"
Just now she was clearly spitting fireballs! How can she use ice?
Big Black and Little Black were totally dumbfounded!
Is this really the spirit pet hatched from the egg we brought?
Griffins are fire-type spirit beasts with two innate Spirit Arts!
One is Tianxing! The other is Shiyan!
It's supposed to spit fire pillars, not fireballs! And the power is way more terrifying than Shiyan!
What stunned them even more was how a fire-type spirit beast could use ice?
At this moment, the students in the classroom had their eyes shining!
"Mom! It changed color! It can turn blue? That's way too cool!"
"I want a spirit pet too! I'm so jealous!"
"No way! I can't watch anymore! It's making my heart itch!"
"Um... isn't anyone concerned about why this griffin can use both ice and fire? I don't think there's even an example in the Spirit Beast Encyclopedia!"
Looking at the devastated back mountain, Jiangnan now had a rough idea of Xiao Jiuwo's strength!
He couldn't help but descend from the sky. The moment he landed, Xiao Jiuwo shrank to the size of a house cat!
She flapped her wings and landed on Jiangnan's shoulder, nuzzling his cheek affectionately!
It was cool to the touch!
Jiangnan's heart was wild with joy!
In winter, she can be a hand warmer; in summer, a cooling patch!
This spirit pet is way too functional!
As soon as he landed, before Xiao Chuihuo could speak, Xiao Jiuwo said sweetly, "Hello, Grandpa Dean!"
Everyone's jaws hit the floor!
How can she talk too!
Bear Two from Thousand Island Lake could talk, but he was a big deal! This one just hatched from an egg and can already talk?
"How can it talk? Did you really hatch it from an egg, or did you catch some beast-type Spirit Warrior from somewhere and make it your pet?"
Jiangnan's face darkened!
Am I really that bad? What kind of image do you have of me in your eyes?
Eh? But that idea isn't bad, hoot～
Xiao Jiuwo said sweetly, "I learned it in the egg!"
Everyone was shocked!
Others have prenatal education. You have egg education?
Does that really work?
Xiao Chuihuo said excitedly, "A dual-attribute spirit beast? How did you do it? Among all the spirit beast species discovered so far, none have ever had dual attributes!"
"Let alone dual ice and fire systems!"
In the twenty-odd years since the Spiritual Energy Revival, there have indeed been cases of humans awakening dual abilities.
But they're extremely rare, let alone figuring out the reason behind them.
And dual-attribute spirit beasts are unheard of! Yet Jiangnan managed to create one?
Jiangnan chuckled slyly. "Maybe it underwent a small mutation during incubation?"
Of course, he wouldn't reveal the Super Mutation Potion. It's better to keep that a secret!
Xiao Chuihuo said excitedly, "Good, good, good! Hurry up! Go to the Spirit Pet Experiment Center for analysis and testing right now!"
"You're the first successful case of taming a spirit pet in our country. This has special significance!"
"Have you recorded the entire incubation process in detail?"
Hearing this, Jiangnan's eyes were full of excitement. "I've recorded everything! And I've even thought of a way to speed up incubation!"
"I might not need it, but others definitely will! Normally, it takes three months to hatch, but I hatched mine in one!"
Xiao Chuihuo laughed heartily. "Good, good, good! Go on then! Don't do anything else for the next few days. Just focus on this!"
Jiangnan happily took Xiao Jiuwo to the Spirit Pet Experimental Building!
He couldn't wait to share his incubation method with everyone!
Zhao Dezhu looked at the leveled back mountain and said speechlessly, "So we're just letting the bombing of the academy slide?"
Xiao Chuihuo waved his hand. "What does bombing an academy matter? If Jiangnan can really develop the spirit pet field in our country, he can even bomb me and I'd... eh!"
Realizing what he was about to say, Xiao Chuihuo's expression stiffened, and he shuddered violently. He raised his hand and slapped himself twice!
Better not say anything reckless!
Jiangnan would really do it!
Over the next two days, Jiangnan didn't attend any classes. He was entirely holed up in the Spirit Pet Lab with Xiao Jiuwo!
They ran a series of tests, recorded data, and compiled the incubation process.
Jiangnan also named the three innate Spirit Arts.
The speed-boosting flight art was still called Tianxing. The fireball art was called Dayantian.
The ice-sealing art was called Xueguo Linjiang.
He also discovered that Xiao Jiuwo, who could use both ice and fire, could only switch between the two forms. She couldn't use both attributes simultaneously, or there would be internal conflict.
Unlike Lanbo and Fenbo, who could use both abilities together when holding hands.
But this was already impressive, since the switching speed was extremely fast!
The collision of ice and fire could even create a mist effect, concealing figures and blocking sight.
During these two days, Shanmiao also found the address of Qian Benying's hometown and sent it to Jiangnan.
Jiangnan specially took a trip to Rongcheng and went to Northwest Feng International Express to send a package to Qian Benying.
He was afraid that if he delayed any longer, that woman would come over here to kill him.
...
In the Spirit Pet Lab, Guan Hu looked at the incubation materials and methods Jiangnan had submitted, his face darkening.
Are you sure this is an incubation method and not some recipe?
It's making me hungry, damn it!
"You... did you really hatch Xiao Jiuwo this way?"
Jiangnan said firmly, "Of course! This theory is absolutely correct. No one knows hatching eggs better than me! And I've already put it into practice! Didn't it work?"
Guan Hu turned to Xiao Jiuwo. It's a miracle you were born safely!
Xiao Jiuwo said, "That's right, that's right! Master did an excellent job! If it weren't for Master's care[both]ful[hearted] at[and]ten[evil]tion, how could I have seen Master so quickly?"
"Master is the best to Xiao Jiuwo～"
As she spoke, she nuzzled against Jiangnan's cheek.
I'm so cute! My mouth is so sweet!
Master won't eat me, right?
Guan Hu was stunned. Even the spirit pet said so...
Jiangnan urged, "Hurry up and put it in the textbook! Good things should be shared with everyone!"
Guan Hu looked at the materials, full of hesitation. "Let me go ask the Dean."
In the Dean's office.
Guan Hu pushed the materials over to Xiao Chuihuo with a serious expression. "Dean! This is the report Jiangnan submitted. Are you sure you want to put this in the textbook?"
Xiao Chuihuo said, "What's there to hesitate about? Put it in!"
"Take a look first!"
Xiao Chuihuo opened the materials and read.
Incubation Report:
Secret to Speeding Up Hatching!
For fire-type spirit pet eggs, you can use an oven, induction cooker, boiling water, etc., to continuously bake or heat, maintaining incubation temperature until the shell cracks and hatches.
If you're afraid of burning the shell, you can cover it with a layer of tin foil.
This method mainly simulates the mother spirit beast's incubation environment, giving the egg a warm, homely feeling, which can greatly shorten the incubation time.
Personally tested! Works like a charm!
Similarly!
For ice-type spirit pet eggs, you can put them in a freezer and keep them at -100°C continuously.
For water-type, soak them in a jar. For metal-type... just put them in mercury, I guess. And so on. Methods vary by person, mainly depending on what tools you have on hand.
No one knows hatching eggs better than me (･᷄ٹ･᷅).
Xiao Chuihuo's face darkened. Is this really a method to speed up incubation? Or is it a hundred ways to cook eggs?
"Are you sure Xiao Jiuwo was hatched this way?"
Guan Hu covered his face. "I'm sure! Xiao Jiuwo said so herself. Do we really put this in the textbook?"
Xiao Chuihuo gritted his teeth. "Just write it! What Jiangnan said isn't unreasonable. He actually hatched the thing, so maybe this is how it works!"
"Do you know more about it than Jiangnan?"
