Beast Taming: Starting From Zero - Chapter 1167

1167. Chapter 1162 Swallowing Thunder

“Tingting…”

Tingbao called out hesitantly.

But it had no wings, how could it fly?

Qiao Sang said amusedly, “Look at Xiaoxunbao and Qingbao. They don’t have wings, and yet they’re flying.”

“Tingting,”

Tingbao called out seriously.

That wasn’t flying, it was floating.

Qiao Sang’s lips twitched. “Anyway, your form already possesses the ability to fly. Try getting familiar with it.”

“Tingting.”

Tingbao nodded, half-believingly feeling the flow of its internal structure.

A moment later, its claws lifted off the ground, and its entire body began to soar.

“Tingting!”

Tingbao cried out excitedly.

Then, with rapid twists of its body, it soared high into the air, soaring across the living room.

It really could fly… Qiao Sang, watching Tingbao fly, couldn’t help but imagine himself soaring high in the sky aboard Tingbao.

Honestly, almost every Dragon Nation dreams of flying, and flying aboard a dragon-type pet is undoubtedly the most daring of those dreams.

But with Tingbao’s current size, he probably can’t fly freely with her just yet…

“Steel Chief.”

Suddenly, Gangbao’s voice echoed in his mind.

Laoliu’s body is covered in scales; sitting on him should feel similar to sitting on me.

Qiao Sang: “…”

Just as Qiao Sang and Gangbao were conversing, little Xunbao, perking up again, returned to the living room. Seeing Tingbao flying around, his eyes lit up and he called out,

“Xunxun!”

Laoliu, you can fly!

With that, he teleported next to Tingbao.

As soon as he arrived, the size difference was immediately apparent.

Little Xunbao’s excitement was instantly extinguished.

“Tingting!”

Tingbao looked at little Xunbao and called out happily.

Little Xunbao didn’t respond, turning and floating toward the sofa, his back apathetic.

“Tingting?”

Tingbao stared at little Xunbao’s back, a puzzled expression on his face.

He had been so happy just a moment ago, why was he so unhappy all of a sudden?

“Qingqing,”

Qingbao appeared next to Tingbao and called out.

Don’t worry about him; his moods are just fluctuating.

“Tingting.”

Tingbao, upon hearing this, truly ignored it, continuing to twist and turn, happily flying around.

“Xunxun…”

Little Xunbao lay on the sofa, looking listless.

Qiao Sang approached him and asked, “What’s wrong?”

“Xunxun…”

Little Xunbao cried out dejectedly, saying that Laoliu was now much bigger than him…

I think that’s what’s bothering you too… Qiao Sang consoled him, “He’s just bigger, not stronger. Besides, didn’t you say you wanted to find that mysterious fruit that increases size after eating it?”

“Xunxun~”

At the mention of the mysterious fruit, little Xunbao’s eyes lit up.

“Xunxun…”

But then, he slumped again.

He didn’t know where to find it.

“There’s a lot of information online. Try searching,” Qiao Sang said, pulling out his phone and handing it over.

“Xunxun~”

Little Xunbao perked up again, took the phone, and diligently searched for relevant information.

Finally, I’ve regained my spirits… Qiao Sang felt a slight sense of relief. Then, a thought struck her. She closed her eyes and entered the Beast Taming Codex.

The pages flipped, quickly reaching the last one.

[Name: Thunder Dragon]

[Skills: Discharge (Ultimate 10001/20000)+, Glare (Minor 1087/2000)+, Dragon Tail (Mastery 386/500)+, Dragon Claw (Beginner 1/100)+, Electric Grid (Beginner 1/100)+, Hundred Thousand Volts (Beginner 1/100)+]

Two new traits… Qiao Sang’s eyes fell on the two new traits.

Static Electricity: Gives the opponent a chance to paralyze when using contact skills, similar to Yabao’s Flame Body…

Lightning Swallow: Consumes lightning to replenish or increase energy…

No wonder the Thunder Dragon description says it shuttles between lightning bolts, which soon vanish completely, devouring all its emotions…

Then again, ordinary electric-type pets can’t devour lightning, right? The natural power of lightning is far more terrifying than that of a pet.

If one could absorb the natural power of lightning, could the power of lightning cast by a pet also be absorbed?

Qiao Sang’s mind raced with thoughts.

She didn’t let her thoughts wander, but quickly calmed her mind and looked at the new skills.

There were three new skills: Dragon Claw, Electric Grid, and 100,000 Volts—all familiar ones.

Dragon Claw was a mid-level Dragon skill, a close-range attack.

Electric Grid was a mid-level Electric skill, capable of controlling and damaging the target.

100,000 Volts was a high-level Electric skill.

She hadn’t expected Tingbao to awaken this skill right after being struck by 100,000 Volts… Qiao Sang’s eyes fell on the last skill, and she felt a sense of emotion.

While it was impressive for a mid-level pet to awaken a high-level skill, she had just seen Qingbao’s super-deluxe data yesterday, and Tingbao had high-level skills at the primary stage. Therefore, she didn’t feel anything particularly special about the awakening of 100,000 Volts, just a slight sense of emotion.

Qiao Sang gathered her thoughts and returned to reality.

Suddenly, a thought struck her. She looked at Little Xunbao and said, “Give me the phone first.”

“Xunxun?”

Little Xunbao looked incredulous.

You’re taking it back now?

Qiao Sang said helplessly, “I’m just posting a quest. I’ll give it to you after I’m done.”

“Xunxun~”

Little Xunbao gave her a look of “why didn’t you say so earlier” and readily handed the phone back.

Of all Tingbao’s newly awakened traits and skills, the one she was least familiar with was the Thunder Swallowing trait. Now that it wasn’t thundering, there were no thunderbolts to swallow, and she needed to test that idea. While Qingbao could cast Thunderstorm, it was a super-level skill, and currently only randomly struck two or three times. It would be too difficult for Tingbao to catch or withstand it. After all, the Thunder Swallowing trait was only B-level, and its ability to absorb the lightning cast by a pet hadn’t been verified. It would be more reliable to call in an electric-type pet.

Qiao Sang logged onto the Beast Taming Center’s official website and posted a quest to find an electric-type pet.

Less than two seconds after the post was completed, a message popped up in the background:

[Dear Beast Tamer Qiao Sang, the task you posted to find an electric pet has been claimed by Electricity You. Please keep your phone open, and the user Electricity You will contact you as soon as possible.]

Electricity You again, what a fate… Qiao Sang thought.

As the thought flashed, the phone vibrated, and a call came in.

Qiao Sang answered the call.

“Dian Dian?” A familiar voice came from the speaker.

Qiao Sang smiled and said, “Electrify You, it’s me again, you…”

Before he finished speaking, the phone hung up.

Immediately afterwards, a message popped up in the background:

[Dear Beast Tamer Qiao Sang, the task you posted to find an electric pet has been cancelled by Electricity You. We will post it again for you.]

Qiao Sang: “…”
