Beast Taming Patrol-Chapter 714 - 245: Ladder to Heaven Level 2, Near Grade V! (Vote for Monthly Tickets)_2

Qiuqiu continued to observe carefully.

With the sweep of spiritual power, it quickly found that the Extreme Cold that solidified its body and the Extreme Cold it used to condense ice crystals out of thin air were somewhat different.

Not every molecule in its body was bound.

Inside it, some molecules were locked tightly in an area that was just a bit larger than the molecules themselves, just like the ones in the ice crystals it condensed, unable to do anything but rotate and shiver in place.

Their movement was slower, and accordingly, the temperature was lower.

But these molecules only made up about thirty percent of all the molecules that composed its body.

The remaining seventy percent could move freely but were segregated into countless tiny cages by the thirty percent, trapped within.

Like an ice cage enclosing the water inside!

This structure…

It seemed familiar from somewhere?

It slowly felt and observed its ice-bound body and suddenly attained a bit more clarity in its heart.

Just like the research building at Mountain City University!

The building it frequented daily for experiments with Lin Su and roaming around with its younger siblings, so familiar!

Such a vast building did not require filling all the space with tough metals and stones.

It just needed to be divided into laboratories, and the structure of the building could be maintained.

And inside the laboratories, people and objects could move freely!

The movements of people and objects would not cause the building to collapse or crumble.

How similar was this current state of its own to that of a building?

The result of tiny ice cages, condensed by Extreme Cold and connected to each other, was why it was ice-bound and could not move the slightest bit.

It understood!

The power of Extreme Cold was not to be used like it had been doing!

It was unnecessary to bound every single molecule tightly, rendering them immovable; it was possible to bind only a very small part and achieve the same effect.

And the significance of doing so was that with the same power, it could condense more ice crystals.

It could stir the power of Extreme Cold to a greater degree!

Like a moment of enlightenment, a sense of unprecedented clarity emerged in Qiuqiu’s inner being.

So this was Extreme Cold!

So this was Rule Power!!

Subconsciously, while continuing to use Spiritual Power to feel its own state, it allocated part of its mind to start imitating what it observed, tracing out those intricate cage structures in the void.

The first attempt, Qiuqiu condensed a tiny cage but failed due to too few molecules being trapped inside, leading to collapse.

The second time, it realized that focusing solely on the structure of the cage was not comprehensive; the cage and its contents were a whole. After making adjustments, it finally condensed the first tiny cage, but made a mistake while joining the second one, leading to another collapse.

The third time, it barely managed to join two cages, but because the third cage had to connect with the first two simultaneously, it collapsed yet again.

The fourth time… the fifth time…

Qiuqiu started attempt after attempt.

Just like when it first started condensing ice crystals, it began to train from scratch, condensing ice cages over and over.

Gradually, it started finding patterns.

It could first condense countless separate tiny cages, then piece together a certain number of tiny cages into a bigger cage, turning all these small ones into large ones.

Then, taking these large cages as the tiny ones before, continue to piece them into even bigger cages using the same method.

Repeating these steps over and over was far more efficient than piecing together a whole out of individual tiny cages.

It was like building with blocks, and Qiuqiu not only didn’t feel an ounce of fatigue during this process, but also thought it was particularly interesting.

Yes, interesting.

This fun was something it did not possess when it forced out ice crystals with brute force before.

It was also something it lacked when it sat mystified before countless pieces of information on ice-related rules.

As if opening the door to a new world, it continued to condense, piece together, and keep trying new methods, seeking quicker ways to assemble.

And within this process, it was tireless.

It seemed to have forgotten about time, forgetting everything around it.

Until… Lin Su’s somewhat astonished voice appeared in Qiuqiu’s mind.

“Qiuqiu?”

“Mew? (｡òωó｡)” (What’s up?)

Qiuqiu casually responded.

The next second, it suddenly realized that it had not used the Guardian Beast Contract’s telepathy, but had directly spoken aloud.
