Beast taming, starting from zero point-Chapter 108 - 104 It seems to have succeeded...
Chapter 108: Chapter 104 It seems to have succeeded…
Pet Beasts learning skills is an extremely important matter, as they play a crucial role both in competitions and in daily life.
If they learn one more skill, their masters will have many more future options.
For example, if a Water-type Pet Beast learns the “Air Bubble” skill, it can envelop a person in a bubble and dive into the water, allowing them to experience the underwater scenery up close without the need for any special equipment.
Then its Beast Tamer could have the opportunity to become an underwater photographer, a safety officer, or an archaeologist.
Take the Ancient Mist Region, known as the “Water World,” whose provincial capital Shangyou City is crisscrossed with waterways, where boats are virtually the only mode of transportation on the roads.
The main reason the Ancient Mist Region is called the Water World is that the waters beneath the nine prefecture-level cities in the entire region are interconnected.
...
Beneath these connected waters lies a world-renowned underwater city, with many ancient ruins. After a long period of construction, buildings have now spread throughout the entire underwater area, making it a must-visit spot for travel bloggers from all over the world.
There, having a Water-type Pet Beast that knows the “Air Bubble” skill is a mandatory requirement for recruitment by the local underwater administration.
In addition to “Air Bubble,” having a Water-type Pet Beast that can cast “Rainfall” is a prerequisite for recruitment by the Meteorological Bureau.
And “Water Gun” is a requirement for firefighters.
An average Beast Tamer might be relieved from worry about food and clothing for the rest of their life just because their Pet Beast learned one rare skill.
While everyone else was trying their best to teach their Pet Beasts new skills, Qiao Sang’s Pet Beast inexplicably learned a new one on its own.
First, it was the Fire-Toothed Dog, now it’s the Xiao Xunbao Ghost.
Qiao Sang’s expression was distant, and suddenly, a question flashed through his mind at lightning speed.
Where did the notion that skills are hard to learn come from?
…
The Xiao Xunbao Ghost, holding back a burst of anger, clenched its fists while teleporting, yet after six attempts, it was still on the same street.
“Xun~”
The Xiao Xunbao Ghost turned its head to look behind itself and couldn’t shake the feeling that its speed wasn’t fast enough because it hadn’t released that gas.
It straightened its head and, clenching its fists, tried harder, and its face turned even redder.
“Ah Sang, this is Teleportation, isn’t it?” a voice, shaky with uneven breath, spoke up from beside him.
Qiao Sang turned his head and saw Ye Ranran standing there stiff as a plank, her eyes wide with shock as she stared in the direction of the Xiao Xunbao Ghost.
She looked so silly…
Qiao Sang snapped back to reality, having entirely forgotten that he too had just had the same expression.
“It should be,” Qiao Sang replied.
“If I remember correctly, the Treasure-seeking Ghost is a Spectral-type Pet Beast, isn’t it?” Ye Ranran’s voice trembled slightly.
“You remember correctly,” Qiao Sang nodded.
“Then…” Ye Ranran murmured as she started to speak.
Before she could finish, Qiao Sang interrupted, “It’s exactly what you’re thinking.”
Ye Ranran was stunned.
It took her great effort to find her voice again, “How much did you spend?”
“I didn’t spend any money. It was exchanged using a Pet Beast voucher from Bai Xinsai,” Qiao Sang said.
Ye Ranran: “!!!”
New novel chapt𝒆rs are published on ƒгeewebnovёl.com.
That statement shocked Ye Ranran more than when she first learned that Qiao Sang had received a prize of five million.
“Where are Uncle Three and the others?” Qiao Sang asked.
Ye Ranran didn’t immediately answer the question; instead, she looked resentfully at Qiao Sang and said, “I’m going into shutdown mode.”
Qiao Sang sighed and said, “You see, someone as low-key as me wasn’t planning to say anything about it, but I didn’t expect Xiao Xunbao to suddenly learn Teleportation.”
The quality of a Pet Beast is not something that needs to be concealed, with the existence of the Beast Taming Codex there’s no need to worry about others trying to snatch a Pet Beast that has already been contracted.
Ye Ranran: “…!”
This has to be on purpose, right? This is definitely intentional!
…
Although Xiao Xunbao Ghost learned Teleportation, it was still young, and its internal Energy Sphere wasn’t sufficient to support too many movements, nor did it meet the physical strength standards. It did not reach the finish line within the last allotted time.
However, there were as many as 23 other competing Pet Beasts in the same fourth tier that didn’t finish either, so it wasn’t too embarrassing.
On the way back home, Qiao Sang hugged the Fire-Toothed Dog with a delighted mood and hummed a tune from time to time.
The Treasure-seeking Ghost, having lost the competition, wasn’t upset at all. It lounged on Qiao Sang’s head, leisurely enjoying its milk, seemingly less competitive than the Fire-Toothed Dog.
The family walked home amidst laughter and jokes, except for Third Uncle, who reverted to his usual silent and reticent demeanor.
There was no particular reason, except that his high hopes had been dashed when the Howling Swamp Crocodile lost by a mere nine seconds to a Lightning Otter and ended up in second place.
“Dad, second place is pretty good, too. You can get reimbursed for half a year’s expenses at Qi Tang Beast Taming Center. It’s the perfect time to take the Howling Swamp Crocodile and the Ink Fish for a health checkup,” Jing Wen consoled.
“Yeah, Third Uncle, I actually think the second-place prize is much more useful than the first,” Qiao Sang said with a laugh.
Third Uncle managed a smile, “I’m fine. It’s good enough to have a second place. You and Ranran have really put in effort this time.”
“It wasn’t hard at all, not at all,” Qiao Sang grinned ear to ear.
Who would have thought that Xiao Xunbao, whom everyone expected to just make up the numbers, learned a new skill? That was worth its weight in gold!
Qiao Sang was in high spirits throughout the journey, but her smile faded as soon as they reached home.
“Eh, where’s the bicycle I rode out this morning?” Third Aunt suddenly asked, looking at the spot where they usually parked the bicycle.
Qiao Sang: “!!!”
…
Evening.
7:28 PM.
Liu Gan Creek.
Qiao Sang sighed as she watched the Fire-Toothed Dog start to sense the energy within its body.
It should have been resting after having run a marathon and retrieving the bicycle from a great distance today.
But the Fire-Toothed Dog was too eager to improve, insisting on practicing the Energy Sphere.
If a Pet Beast wanted to train, as a Beast Tamer, she couldn’t just sit by and speak disheartening words.
And so, there was the scene of them at Liu Gan Creek late at night.
Qiao Sang found a spot to comfortably sit cross-legged on the ground, resting her chin on her palm, watching the Fire-Toothed Dog in front of her that had already formed an Energy Sphere.
Not sure if it was an illusion, but the Energy Sphere seemed to have gotten slightly bigger.
As Qiao Sang stared at the Energy Sphere, she wondered,
Will I manage to blast out a fish tonight…
The Energy Sphere started rising.
1, 2, 3… it didn’t stop even at 6 meters.
Qiao Sang was momentarily startled and sat up straight unconsciously, lifting her head to watch the Energy Sphere soar higher and higher.
Why hasn’t it lost control?
Could it be that its height has reached the standard of the Mars Rain in mid-air?
The red Energy Sphere continued to ascend until it stopped at a height of around 23 meters.
This time, the Energy Sphere didn’t fall out of control or explode by itself. Instead, it lingered in the air for 2 seconds before bursting open.
Three blooms of red flames fell in the quiet night sky, decorating the darkness like red meteors descending from the heavens.
“Boom!”
“Boom!”
“Boom!”
The crimson sparks landed on the ground, one after another, producing huge sounds.
Dust filled the air, accompanied by the fiery, dazzling burst of scarlet flames.
A bloom of red flame fell not far in front of Qiao Sang, lighting up her face with mouth agape, pupils dilated, and jaw almost dropping.
Qiao Sang felt as if her brain had crashed to a halt.
Mars Rain…
It seemed to have worked…
