The skill unleashed by the Silver-White Butterfly left Li Qian quite shocked.
Li Qian could easily guess that it was a Space Element skill.
But what he hadn’t expected was that this skill was actually... Void Shuttling.
This skill... how should he put it? It was truly beyond his expectations.
You have to understand, any Pet Beast—as long as it wasn’t a good-for-nothing like a Koi Carp—could master many Skills.
And these Skills, whether they were offensive or supportive, all had their differences. They were divided by strength and weakness.
For example, Gale Feather Blade was clearly a higher-tier skill than Wind Blade.
In other words, most Pet Beast Skills were ranked by their relative strength.
As far as Li Qian knew, there were two types of Skills that were extremely difficult for Pet Beasts to master.
These two types of Skills were either immensely powerful or had endless wondrous uses.
They had two proper names: "Super-tier Skills" and "Mysterious Skills."
Li Qian had read many books, so he naturally had some understanding of "Super-tier Skills" and "Mysterious Skills."
Of course, his understanding wasn’t actually that deep.
He only knew that Super-tier Skills and Mysterious Skills were incredibly awesome. As long as a Pet Beast mastered one, it could basically crush any opponent of the same level.
Fighting opponents of a higher level would be a common occurrence.
However, Super-tier Skills and Mysterious Skills were also notoriously difficult to master. For wild Pet Beasts in the natural world, whether from a Dimension Plane or the Outer Heaven Battlefield, mastering one was as difficult as ascending to the heavens.
Even if there were some that did, they were as rare as a phoenix feather or a qilin’s horn.
Only Pet Beasts contracted to human Beast Masters, under their master’s meticulous cultivation, had a slightly higher chance of mastering them.
Moreover, as far as Li Qian knew, there was a group of Breeders who specialized in researching Super-tier Skills and Mysterious Skills.
The research difficulty was in no way inferior to the study of Pet Beast evolution.
Of course, if they could produce results, the value would be just as extraordinary.
In the future, Li Qian would definitely delve into this area of research as well.
The reason Li Qian was so shocked right now was because the skill Void Shuttling was not an ordinary skill, but a Mysterious Skill.
In his entire life, this was the first time he had ever seen a Pet Beast use a Mysterious Skill right in front of him.
How could he not be shocked?
Before Li Qian could recover from his shock, Li Sukuai spoke up again with an invitation, "Li the Kid, are you coming or not?"
"Oh, yes! All right, I’ll have to trouble you then, Elder Li." Hearing this, Li Qian agreed without much thought.
How could Li Qian possibly miss this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to personally experience a Mysterious Skill?
After replying, Li Qian quickly walked over and stood before Li Sukuai.
"Follow my lead. Let’s go!" Li Sukuai glanced at Li Qian before stepping unhurriedly into the pitch-black spatial rift.
With a single step into the dark spatial rift, Li Sukuai’s figure suddenly vanished.
Li Qian saw that after Li Sukuai entered, the dark spatial rift actually began to show signs of slowly closing. Thus, he hesitated no longer and followed him in.
Li Qian believed that Li Sukuai wouldn’t try to harm him. Trust in the man’s status was only part of the reason; more importantly, if he had malicious intent and wanted to kill him, he wouldn’t need to go through so much trouble.
If he wanted to deal with him, it would be no different than crushing an ant.
Having figured this out, Li Qian no longer hesitated and strode in after him without reservation.
As Li Qian entered the spatial rift, Xiaohui didn’t fall behind, flying in right after him.
The moment the man and his beast were inside, the gaping spatial rift in the outside world sealed shut instantly.
The scene was empty, as if nothing had ever happened.
"CHIRP! CHIRP!"
After entering the spatial rift, Xiaohui hovered above Li Qian’s head, letting out excited cries.
Li Qian felt Xiaohui’s excitement and was a little puzzled.
But just then, the voice of Li Sukuai, who was glowing faintly up ahead, suddenly rang out. "This Extreme Fierce Sky Escape Eagle of yours is quite good."
Li Qian scratched his head, a little confused.
’Didn’t you already say that?’
Li Sukuai seemed to know what Li Qian was thinking and continued to explain, "Space Element Pet Beasts inherently belong in High-dimensional Space."
"The higher their Potential, the more obvious this trait becomes."
"So you’re saying..." After hearing Li Sukuai’s explanation, Li Qian roughly understood what he meant.
Li Sukuai nodded, confirming Li Qian’s thought. "Your Extreme Fierce Sky Escape Eagle’s Talent in the space attribute is quite impressive."
"If you cultivate it well, it’s not impossible for it to break past its Racial Potential Limit in the future."
Li Qian chuckled. "Break its Racial Potential Limit? I imagine it’s not that simple."
His voice was confident as he continued, "Although Xiaohui has already evolved into an Extreme Fierce Sky Escape Eagle and its Racial Potential has been greatly enhanced, this isn’t its limit in my eyes."
"I am confident that I can research a higher Evolutionary Form for the Extreme Fierce Sky Escape Eagle in the future."
"A higher Evolutionary Form for the Extreme Fierce Sky Escape Eagle... Your confidence surprises me a little. I look forward to it..." Li Sukuai’s calm voice echoed from ahead once more.
He asked casually, "Do you have any leads yet?"
Without thinking too much, Li Qian directly stated his conjecture. "Just a guess, and it’s not very reliable."
"What Pet Beast?" Li Sukuai continued to ask.
Li Qian said casually, "My guess is, it might be Lie Kongzuo!"
As soon as these words left his mouth, Li Qian could clearly sense Li Sukuai’s figure pause slightly.
"What’s your basis for that?" Li Sukuai’s tone and posture quickly returned to normal.
"Purely a wild guess!" Li Qian still answered nonchalantly.
Hearing this, the corner of Li Sukuai’s mouth twitched almost imperceptibly.
’This kid... he sure knows how to act cool.’
Lie Kongzuo was a top-tier Saint Spirit-level Pet Beast. If one was willing to pour resources into it, breaking its Racial Potential Limit and reaching the Legend tier wasn’t out of the question.
Li Sukuai was certain that Li Qian wouldn’t have mentioned Lie Kongzuo without a reason.
He must have some basis for it.
Unfortunately, it seemed this kid was determined to keep him in suspense, which left him feeling a bit helpless.
On this point, Li Sukuai had truly misunderstood Li Qian.
The idea that the Extreme Fierce Sky Escape Eagle’s subsequent Evolutionary Form was Lie Kongzuo was indeed a guess he’d made based on information he saw at the Sky Realm Cultivation Base.
There was no real evidence at all; it was purely a wild guess.
He had blurted it out on a whim. Of course, it also had something to do with being annoyed at Li Sukuai’s constant posturing and air of superiority.
’Since you’re acting so calm and collected, I might as well drop a bombshell on you.’
’Let’s see if you can maintain that superior attitude.’
Li Qian looked at Li Sukuai’s faintly glowing form up ahead and thought to himself.
While dropping this explosive news, Li Qian didn’t forget to look around and observe the scenery within the spatial rift.
