Beast Taming: the More the Better

Chapter 943 - 396: Enter Dream Module! The Eighth Sense’s Fear!

"What’s wrong with you? It’s rare for you to come out with me for a walk before the final test, why are you still so absent-minded?"

Qin Xiaoxue glanced at Su Ping beside her, who seemed to be spacing out, then turned her head to look at Long’er following behind the two of them.

In this mall, the three of them made a rather strange combination.

Su Ping shook his head. "I’ve been studying sleep and dreaming lately."

Qin Xiaoxue froze for a moment, then blinked. Seeing that Su Ping didn’t look like he was joking, her face flushed slightly for the first time and she said in a low voice:

"Don’t be thinking about that kind of thing all the time right now. The final test is tomorrow. It’s better to adjust your state and get ready for the battle. After it’s over, if you want, we can study it together..."

"Huh?"

Su Ping gave Qin Xiaoxue a look, then said in surprise:

"You have a lot of insight in that area? I’ve never heard you mention it before. This is my first time researching this field."

Qin Xiaoxue’s face turned even redder, but she hurried to explain, "Of course it’s my first time too..."

Su Ping frowned slightly.

"But aren’t all three of your Pet Beasts Wood Element? Life Ancient Tree, Flower Fairy, Crown Wolf Emperor? Even if your Life Ancient Tree is a Mutation, it’s still totally unrelated to the Psychic Element, right? Do you actually know anything about Spiritual Pet Beasts?"

Qin Xiaoxue visibly froze again. "Spiritual Pet Beasts..."

"That’s right, my Third Pet Beast is Psychic Element. According to my thinking, sleep is spiritual rest, and dreams are a derivative of that, an extension of Psychic Element Ability.

If we can thoroughly study it, it will greatly enhance the combat power of Spiritual Pet Beasts! It might even change the current awkward status of Spiritual Pet Beasts!"

"..."

Qin Xiaoxue pressed her lips together, showing an awkward yet polite smile.

"I see. So, have you made any progress?"

"Some, but there are still many problems. Among the Hall Level Super Rank Skills, there is a skill called Enter Dream, which was developed on a Dream Butterfly.

I had Sister Long bring a Dream Butterfly over. As a Monarch Level Spiritual Pet Beast, its main Ability is Hypnosis-type Psychic Element Ability.

Don’t even mention using it as a primary offensive Combat Pet Beast; even as a support control Pet Beast, among Pet Beasts of the same race limit, it’s not considered strong."

Su Ping frowned and pondered.

These past two days, aside from watching Qian Yi and Xiao Qing prepare for the upcoming final test, he’d been studying the skill linkage Abilities of that Dream Butterfly.

However, as for Meng Huangliang’s Enter Dream skill, Su Ping still hadn’t found any feasible approach.

"Based on my deduction, Dream World exists as a kind of fluctuation that naturally radiates out when a Beastmaster and their Pet Beast are asleep and their spirit is resting.

This kind of fluctuation, as long as the Pet Beast completes a transformation of its spiritual frequency and matches the same frequency, allows the Spiritual Pet Beast to attempt to enter that Dream World.

In fact, even if the other side isn’t truly dreaming, you can still, when they’re relaxed, find a way to blend your own spirit fluctuation into the ripples of their spirit.

In essence it’s about the same, but that’s where the first problem appears.

In theory, it’s possible to enter the Dream World through this method. But slightly higher-level Beastmasters and Pet Beasts aren’t idiots.

Even in their sleep—like, say you’re sleeping comfortably under the covers and an icy hand touches your waist—how could you not react?"

This analogy made Qin Xiaoxue think for a moment. Miss Qin really did have talent in this regard; she hit the nail on the head with one sentence:

"In that case, does it mean that the spiritual frequency of one’s own Spirit Pet Beast still can’t perfectly fuse with the corresponding existing frequency, so it feels stiff?"

Su Ping shook his head.

"Living Beings are different from cold network signals. Wi-Fi electromagnetic waves are stable and continuous, but how could the spirit of a Living Being remain completely stable?

Even ordinary people have pleasant dreams and Nightmares, how could you possibly blend in completely?"

"This..."

Qin Xiaoxue opened her mouth, took a sip of the milk tea in her hand, and also didn’t quite know what to do.

Fortunately, Su Ping answered his own question and gave her the answer:

"So there are two methods for this problem. First, use the Dream Butterfly’s ’Hypnosis’-type Ability to make the target unable to perceive this icy hand, to make that icy hand the same temperature as their own body. Or even, in their Perception, it’s not an external ’hand’, but their own!

Based on my guess, that Dream Butterfly which developed the ’Enter Dream’ skill most likely relies on this type of Hypnosis to achieve the concealment of entering the Dream World."

Qin Xiaoxue blinked, not hiding the admiration in her gaze as she looked at this guy who was two years younger than she was.

Su Ping didn’t particularly care about that. The reason he had this speculation was actually simple: Meng Huangliang’s attainments in Hypnosis were very high.

He could hypnotize himself to that extent, and even when his spiritual power was sealed, it still took effect. It could be called a heaven-defying Hypnosis technique.

If, in Enter Dream, he directly applied Hypnosis to the opponent’s spiritual power, what would be impossible?

However, this was also just the line of thought and results Su Ping had come up with over the past few days.

In his view, this Hypnosis-type Enter Dream effect was too soft.

If it’s really as Meng Huangliang said, that among the Hall Level Super Rank Skills, Enter Dream doesn’t have that terrifying ability to slaughter freely in the Dream World like that Evil Spirit Freddy in the dream, then if it’s only used for stealing intel and some other effects, for Su Ping, the significance of this skill is so-so.
