Chapter 211 Qian Zhengming (1/2)
Hehe, my grandson is a genius, of course. Ji Hanwu looked at Gao Peng and smiled without saying a word.
Heading into the night, Gao Peng began to train his familiars.
At the center of the training ground, Dumby and Goldie were preparing to battle. Perhaps because of its nutritious diet, Goldie's level had successfully risen to thirteen.
Covered in yellow feathers, Goldie slowly made its way to the center of the grounds and removed its yellow feather jacket, revealing chalky white skin and lumps of bulging, well-toned muscles. The blue patterns on its skin flowed with color as though it were coming to life. With a gentle flap of its wings, its muscles and bones made a powerful sound.
Goldie took in a deep breath, and then out of nowhere, took out a wooden necklace and placed it around its neck.
”Wait, where did that necklace come from?” Gao Peng said suddenly. There was something wrong with this scene.
”It was me. I thought Goldie's temperament wasn't bad, and it would probably look good wearing a necklace, so I gave it one. The little duck seems to like it,” said Ji Hanwu from the side, chuckling.
Goldie waddled one step forward, stretching its left wing out. The tip of its wing was curved gently upwards.
Its right wing stretched out diagonally behind it. Its body hunched slightly, and it furrowed its brows as it looked towards Dumby with a serious expression.
Really serious!
”Quack!” Goldie's duck muscles rippled as it planted its right foot into the ground. In the next moment, it turned into a mini white tornado, rushing towards Dumby.
With a leap into the air, after turning 720 degrees, Goldie clenched its right wing and sent it crashing down on Dumby!
Slap! Dumby casually swatted Goldie away with a palm.
Goldie flew back at an even faster speed.
Goldie's natural ability, Gui Power, only had a certain probability of being triggered, and it wasn't something with a 100% success rate. This time, it clearly hadn't been triggered.
Not willing to yield, Goldie crawled back to its feet and rushed at Dumby again in an angry waddle. Once more, it was sent flying into the air with a single kick from Dumby.
During this whole process, Dumby didn't use too much strength, just enough to send Goldie flying.
After this kick, Goldie's ability was finally activated. With a flash of purple light, Goldie's body grew a bit in size.
From the start, Dumby was holding back, or else a full strength punch could very well have sent Goldie to its grave.
As such, after more than ten minutes of battling, Goldie's height slowly approached Dumby's. Goldie's toughness and strength had exploded by quite a bit, allowing it to manage to last a few rounds against Dumby.
Gao Peng silently shook his head. Goldie's level was currently too low. Against an enemy that was way stronger, Goldie would be finished before getting a chance to activate its abilities. Other monsters wouldn't hold back like Dumby.
If in the future, Goldie's abilities were used more and more often, others would become familiar with this ability and find countermeasures.
Of course, this was just because Goldie's level was too low, so it was easy for higher level monsters to thoroughly crush it.
After half an hour, Goldie's body size had ballooned to over 25 feet tall. Gao Peng then realized that this increase in body size wasn't based on a ratio of its current body size, but rather a continuous, fixed increase based on the first increase in body size.
For instance, if the first activation of the ability allowed Goldie to increase its initial body size by one unit, the second activation would cause an increase in body size by one unit as well, and it would be the same for the third activation, as well.
This was an arithmetic progression, not a exponential progression, which made sense. Without any limits to its growth, this ability would be too much.
In the end, Goldie actually rather enjoyed the battle. It had never grown this big before. The 30-foot-tall Goldie curiously looked down at the world beneath its feet. ”Quack!” This world is so fascinating! As long as I keep getting hit, the world keeps getting smaller and smaller!
