A few minutes later.
The young Qilin was fully charged.
The previously dim multicolored light became dazzling once again.
Seeing this, Su Muchen's eyes filled with anticipation, and he immediately directed the young Qilin to engage in a skill test.
[Flame Bomb, Power: Silver Rank One.]
[Lightning Sphere, Power: Silver Rank Two.]
[Flame Step, Power: Silver Rank Five x4.]
[Blaze Fang Burst, Power: Silver Rank Seven.]
[Thunder Jaw Flash, Power: Silver Rank Seven.]
***
And so, time quietly slipped away amidst repeated skill tests.
Su Muchen had roughly gauged the power of most of the young Qilin's practical skills.
Aside from skills like Bubble Attack, which were too unique and leaned towards control and distraction, almost all of the young Qilin's skills possessed Silver-level power.
Especially those skills that required the young Qilin to exert force using different parts of its body, their power was not to be underestimated, generally above Silver Rank Five.
For instance, when it used all four hooves to perform Flame Step, each time it could deliver four attacks with the power of Silver Rank Five.
And since this wasn't a game, there was no such thing as turn-based combat. If the opponent didn't resist, stomping dozens of times wouldn't be an issue.
Similarly, skills like Blaze Fang Burst and Thunder Jaw Flash, which required the use of teeth, and a series of skills utilizing the sharp horn on its head, could reach the power of Silver Rank Seven.
It was as if those body parts were natural skill amplifiers, capable of maximizing the power of the skills.
Moreover, unlike the previously energy-consuming Qilin Descends skill, these skills didn't require much spiritual power.
According to Su Muchen's tests, even if the Star Radiance Spirit Ring was removed, using one skill would only dim one of the scales on the young Qilin's body.
And it had a total of 365 scales!
Of course, this wasn't the end.
Su Muchen had even greater expectations in his heart.
He moved his lips slightly and gave a command:
"Young Qilin, use Blaze Fang Burst, Thunder Jaw Flash, Earth Fang Crack, and Flowing Bite simultaneously."
As soon as he finished speaking, the young Qilin nodded slightly, its eyes showing a serious and focused look.
With bared teeth, fire intertwined, lightning supplemented, and earth elements gathered...
Then, the young Qilin suddenly lunged at the metal plate.
Spiritual power light scattered all over the metal plate.
Su Muchen looked at the screen.
One data point was particularly striking.
[Gold Rank One!]
"It really works!"
Su Muchen was somewhat surprised.
He had just wanted to experiment to see if releasing these skills simultaneously would cause interference and affect their original power.
After all, skills like Blaze Fang Burst and Thunder Jaw Flash often required more teeth to be covered with elemental power to expand the attack area.
Therefore, sometimes combined releases were less effective than individual executions.
But the results were far beyond his expectations.
Due to the simultaneous release of multiple elements in the young Qilin's mouth, they produced a wonderful chemical reaction, blending and complementing each other.
Not only did it not weaken the skill power, but it greatly increased the overall power, breaking through to Gold Rank One.
It's important to note that skills with relatively low spiritual power consumption like this could be used hundreds of times without causing any substantial impact on the young Qilin.
This meant that the current young Qilin, under excellent command, was already capable of competing with Gold-tier Beast Tamers with its diverse and powerful skill combinations!
"No wonder it's a Mythic Quality Qilin, truly extraordinary!"
Su Muchen couldn't help but click his tongue.
A novice Beast Tamer, who had just contracted a Lifebound Beast for less than a week, could easily possess abilities that would make seasoned Gold-tier Beast Tamers feel threatened.
If someone else had said this, Su Muchen himself would probably think it was a fantasy, completely unbelievable.
But now, the facts were right in front of him, happening around him, leaving him no choice but to believe.
"However, this isn't the limit of the young Qilin's normal attacks!"
Su Muchen took a deep breath, his eyes flashing with a fiery glow.
"Wood fuels fire, wind aids fire, fire burns metal, use Liquid Metal Attack!"
After such a long period of training, the tacit understanding between the young Qilin and Su Muchen had unknowingly deepened.
For Su Muchen's brief yet meaningful command, it could quickly understand the specific meaning, knowing what kind of skill its master wanted it to perform.
The young Qilin immediately sprang into action.
It concentrated fully, and the spiritual power throughout its body began to operate at high speed, rapidly condensing.
First, the wood element's spiritual power surged from within, merging into the blazing flames.
In an instant, the flames seemed to receive ample fuel, flaring up and burning more vigorously.
Then, the wind element's spiritual power also roared in, like an invisible hand powerfully fanning the flames.
Under the scorching heat of the flames, the metal element was ignited and gradually melted, transforming into scalding, flowing liquid metal.
The next second, the scalding liquid metal surged forth like a torrent of lava, pouring onto the metal plate made of memory metal.
In the blink of an eye, the entire metal plate was completely covered by the high-temperature liquid metal.
The liquid metal flowed and spread over its surface, emitting a strange "sizzling" sound.
At the same time, the data on the large screen in the room jumped wildly like raindrops.
Lines of information popped up continuously.
[Silver Rank Nine ×??]
[Silver Rank Nine ×??]
[Silver Rank Nine ×??]
***
The data jumped for about three seconds.
Then, as the metal plate was completely surrounded, the special metal cables connecting the screen were all melted.
The screen could no longer display subsequent damage information.
"Hiss~"
Su Muchen couldn't help but take a sharp breath, his face full of shock.
Before issuing the command, he had guessed that this skill would be strong, but he never expected it to be so astonishingly powerful!
There were quite a few skills with 360-degree, no-dead-angle continuous damage, such as Thunder Prison Cage, Shadow Curse, and Poison Mist, which all had similar capabilities.
But a wide range meant low damage, an undisputed fact.
Yet, was the young Qilin's skill just now low in damage?
Not at all!
Moreover, the damage mode was far more terrifying than those skills.
If the target wasn't a metal plate but a Beast Tamer, what would happen?
The liquid metal entering through the ears and other orifices...
Hiss~
Just thinking about it made Su Muchen's scalp tingle, and he took a sharp breath.
"This skill must never be used in sparring."
Su Muchen nodded seriously.
He glanced at the time and then called the young Qilin to take a break in the rest area, waiting for someone to pick them up.
