Chapter 343 First Trainer Skill

Thunder…

A clap of thunder resounded in Su Ping’s consciousness and stayed there. That clap of thunder contained overwhelming, profound, and scorching hot energy; it penetrated his mind like a sword that had come down from the sky. If heaven did exist, then the clap of thunder would have to be heaven’s weapon!

Su Ping felt that he was weak and tiny.

As time flowed, the thunderbolt was getting bigger and bigger in front of Su Ping’s eyes, so he could see all the structure of this thunderbolt which was made up of countless lightning bolts, full of destructive power… Growing continuously, every beam of electric light became massive and wide in front of Su Ping’s eyes; the structure of electric light was also expanding…

Whoosh!

Abruptly, everything disappeared. Su Ping trembled out of reflex. He could see the store again, as if everything that he had just experienced was nothing but an illusion. But Su Ping knew that he had not imagined it because of the additional information in his mind.

That clap of thunder was still lingering in his mind. He could sense it and study it at any time he wanted; every time he did so, he would learn something new.

He finally understood what this Elementary Rules of Thunder was.

It wasn’t a skill, but something much more precious than that!

It involved the rules of nature!

Su Ping was learning the rules of thunder!

What would it mean?

Fizz, fizz!

Su Ping raised his hands. Some electric arcs were moving about.

With the newly acquired profound understanding of the underlying mechanism of “thunder and lightning,” Su Ping had just become able to unleash some skills of the thunder family, which he could never do before that day. Humans were unlike beasts; they weren’t born with the ability to master thunder and lightning “Thunder and lightning exist in everything. This is how you transform astral powers into thunder and lightning…” Su Ping mumbled to himself.

When a person analyzed and comprehended something deeply, he would find that it wasn’t that difficult.

That was what Su Ping was feeling. He was able to easily do something he could have never imagined before. It seemed as if what he was doing were as common as a person grabbing a stone and throwing it out.

“You have touched upon… the knowledge of rules?”

Standing by the door of the pet room, Joanna eyed Su Ping with astonishment.

Joanna had always been able to keep a calm look on her face. Nothing could disturb her mind. However, she was expressing genuine surprise at this moment.

Su Ping thought of her strength. She had to know more about this than he did. “This is called knowledge of rules? Do you have those?” he asked.

Joanna removed her look of surprise but she still found it hard to believe. “When did you pick up the knowledge? Back at the perilous location? But that was a place of fire. You should have learned rules of fire instead of the rules of thunder…”

Su Ping answered, “I learned it just a moment ago. Can you tell me more about this?”

Joanna took a more careful look at Su Ping. Then, she remembered the mysterious supporter Su Ping had. After that thought, her calmness was restored. “I don’t know how you began touching upon the rules of thunder but this can only happen once in a blue moon. The fact that you can start learning the rules of thunder when you have yet to reach the legendary rank means you would be regarded as a rare talent even if you were a pure-blood member of the gods.”

Su Ping raised his eyebrows. Even among pure-blooded gods?

Of course, pure-blood gods were limited to those in the Demigod Burial and Joanna was not talking about gods in other planes or the Archean Divinity. But the Demigod Burial was tens of thousands of times larger than the Blue Planet!

To be regarded as a genius on such a planet was not something that would happen often. An analogy would be that… he probably was equal to hundreds of Elite League champions combined.

Of course, he had not stumbled across this knowledge on his own. It was because of the book.

“Usually, one can only get to know the existence of ‘rules’ after having gone through the Heavenly Test and thoroughly remolding oneself.” Joanna went on, “The more outstanding ones of the legendary rank have a chance to get to know ‘rules’ but that is it. Only the senior rankers have a chance to start learning! The extremely rare few can not only start learning rules but also reach the deeper levels and turn that into sophisticated skills! “As for you, you have started learning the rules and can harness the power of thunder and lightning. That means that you have had an in-depth understanding. Even a legendary battle pet warrior with your ability would be considered talented.”

Joanna then took another meaningful look at Su Ping.

Su Ping had a better understanding after that.

He was learning something that should be exclusive to those at the legendary rank or above.

He was getting another technique in advance, like the “Astral Telekinesis” that should be a skill for titled battle pet warriors. “But I think this is something similar to what my pets can do. My pets can use skills from other families. Can that be regarded as learning the rules as well?”

Su Ping suddenly remembered that all of his pets were strange in the sense that they could use skills not found in their families.

Joanna found that interesting as well. There were few pets like Su Ping’s. Su Ping’s training method was possibly the only way to produce many strange pets, mass produced at that! “Probably.”

Joanna answered, “For example, when a pet of the fire family has learned skills of the thunder family, then the pet can be said to have started learning the rules of thunder! However, pets are only learning based on their instinct. They have no idea what rules are. Even when they do start the learning process, they will gradually forget or won’t go further than the beginning stage.

“Only some beasts of extremely high rank can digest such knowledge and study further or spread that knowledge within its species.

“However, beasts generally lack such abilities and enough intelligence. Even high ranked beasts are hardly able to achieve an in-depth understanding!”

Joanna’s eyes showed a troubled look as she finished her explanation.

Su Ping believed that the fact that he could start learning the rules of thunder was nothing strange.

Even the Dark Dragon Hound could have done that, and it was learning rules of all sorts!

The only difference between him and his pets was in their power of understanding. In other words, the Dark Dragon Hound could learn skills which didn’t belong to the demon family and yet, the Dark Dragon Hound would only stay at the level when it picked up the skill, but it wouldn’t deepen its understanding of the skill.

For example, if the Dark Dragon Hound had learned a seventh-rank skill of the fire family, that skill would stay like that forever and the Dark Dragon Hound could even forget that skill if it stopped using it.

But things were different when it came to the skills of the demon family, the Dark Dragon Hound’s own family.

When a pet of the demon family learned a sixth-rank skill-say, Roaring Dark Flameswith enough talent and good luck, that skill could evolve into a ninth-rank skill, the Darkness Tornado! The latter was an advanced version of the former.

That would signify that the pet had a better understanding of demon rules.

On the other hand, when pets picked up skills which didn’t belong to their original family, it would be hard for them to make those skills evolve to another level!

That was why people would marvel at pets that could learn skills of various kinds but it wouldn’t be as shocking. Such events were rare, granted, but it could happen.

Pets would have to constantly battle and face more life-threatening moments than human beings. It was highly likely that the pets would learn diversified skills when pressured.

As for humans, they didn’t master any sort of energy when they were born.

Humans could only absorb the purest astral energy available.

Humans would be considered as able to touch the surface of rules if they could turn the pure astral energy into other types of energy. Humans that could do this were few and far between and had to be highly intelligent. They had to have a profound understanding of energy. During the short while that Su Ping observed the thunder and lightning, he had gained an understanding of that phenomenon more than he had ever could before. That was why he could generate bolts of lightning.

Once humans started this process, they would consciously dig deeper and go further. That was what made humans and pets different.

I was telling the Dark Dragon Hound to use the ‘Dark Hellfire’. The skill was merely strengthened, not evolved. But it is a better version and the skill can be strengthened further if I keep on pressuring the Dark Dragon Hound. There’s a slight chance that the Dark Dragon Hound can learn an evolved version of that skill! Su Ping thought.

He suddenly understood why he had been able to get the Elementary Rules of Thunder.

If the Dark Dragon Hound were a pet of the thunder family, he would have been able to pass the knowledge to the Dark Dragon Hound to deepen its understanding of the rules, which would enable the Dark Dragon Hound to evolve its skills!

The Elementary Rules of Thunder allowed Su Ping to master thunder and lightning.

He could duplicate some skills of the thunder family as long as he could observe long enough and analyze the skills thoroughly! The other significance of the Elementary Rules of Thunder was that he could pass the knowledge to his pets to help them strengthen and evolve their skills!

To be frank, this was a trainer’s skill that the system had given him! But… Why the rules of thunder?

He wished it could be the rules of fire. That way, he could pass the knowledge to the Inferno Dragon and the Dark Dragon Hound to strengthen their skills right then!

Wait a minute. Joanna said that pets were unable to improve the skills that weren’t part of their original family, especially when they had merely picked up the skills by chance. But, if I can pass the rules of thunder to the Dark Dragon Hound and allow the Dark Dragon Hound to have a better understanding of thunder and lightning, then…

All of a sudden, a brilliant glow burst out from Su Ping’s eyes.

At that moment, he finally understood how outstanding trainers could be!

And what trainers were!!

“No wonder the system said that I wasn’t a trainer. It was right!” Su Ping was seized with excitement. Finally, he could see what kind of change a qualified trainer could do to a pet!

No wonder trainers were honorable and even battle pet warriors at the same rank had to pay trainers respect. It was well within reason.

“Thanks!”

Su Ping expressed his gratitude to Joanna and hurried to the test room.

He adjusted the environmental settings and instantly, the room turned into a place by the oceanside.

Su Ping hopped in and summoned the Dark Dragon Hound. The Dark Dragon Hound first bellowed after it came out and relaxed a bit upon seeing no enemies. The Dark Dragon Hound lowered its head to look at Su Ping.

Su Ping was about to deliver the knowledge to the Dark Dragon Hound when he suddenly wanted to find out what kind of skills of the thunder family he could unleash, based on his current understanding of the rules of thunder.

What’s not to love about my new life after transmigrating into a Pet-centered world? There are mighty creatures that come in all shapes and sizes. They can either be cuddly companions, helpers in your daily life, daring scouts or strong fighters. Or all of the above. Not bad, huh? I have a family, but the fact is completely overshadowed by my younger sister. She thoroughly hates my guts, and she makes sure that I know this. Every. Single. Day. Did I mention that she’s disgustingly talented while I am a bottom feeder? A terribly handsome one at that. I have free rein to run the family business on my own. A small and quaint Pet Store. It should have been great if not for the fact that the previous owner of this body was born with ZERO affinity to handle Astral Pets… It wouldn’t be a proper transmigration without a gimmick or a system to pave my road to greatness, don’t you think? I have one, but I don’t know if I would be better off without it…
