Beast Taming: Starting From Zero - Chapter 1169

1169. Chapter 1164 Menzhou (Two in One)

“Xunxun~”

Little Xunbao called out, confirming that it wasn’t actually called Electric Gentleman.

So it wasn’t meant to electrocute you, she said. It didn’t look like it… Qiao Sang said, “Please sit down. We’ll start after dinner.”

“Diandian,”

the Electric Monster nodded politely, not asking what they were going to do after dinner, and sat down on the sofa.

“I think we should be able to leave tomorrow,” Qiao Sang

said with a smile. She quickly ate her meal, speeding up her meal.

Mikaela remained silent, pulled out her phone, and began buying tickets for tomorrow’s trip to Menzhou.

“Xunxun~”

Suddenly, Little Xunbao looked at his beastmaster and called out expectantly, expressing his desire to change his name.

During his time on Flame Sky Star, he’d discovered that many pets had impressive names. Now that he was a king-level pet with three minions, a resounding name was essential.

Little Xunbao, little Xunbao, perhaps it was simply because of its size that it was called small.

“Ya Ya!”

As soon as those words were spoken, Ya Bao, who was chowing down on an energy pill, suddenly lit up his eyes. He looked over, his expression aroused, and cried out.

He wanted to change it too!

Qiao Sang turned to look at him.

“Ya Ya…”

Ya Bao suddenly remembered that this was the name his own beastmaster had chosen for him, having asked for his opinion. The excitement on his face vanished, and he sighed and cried out. “

Never mind, I’m not going to change it.”

He continued to eat his energy pills.

Qiao Sang took a sip of his soup, looked at Xiao Xun Bao, and said earnestly,

“You’ve competed in so many competitions, and you’ve accumulated quite a few fans on both Blue Star and Super Star. Most of these fans know you as Xiao Xun Bao and will come to the competitions to cheer you on. Are you sure you want to change it now?”

Gang Bao silently glanced at his beastmaster.

Fans? They already knew his name, and they were cheering it on? Xiao Xun Bao immediately shook his head.

“Xun Xun!”

No change!

He wasn’t changing his name!

Xiao Xun Bao was fine!

That’s right, calling him Little Treasure Hunt is so nice! It fits the character and is similar to Yabao and the others’ names; they sound like they belong together… Qiao Sang quickly finished his meal and looked at Tingbao, who had no appetite for his energy meal. He said,

“Let’s go. If you can’t eat, forget it. Let’s go train.”

“Tingting!”

Tingbao’s eyes lit up and nodded. He twisted his body and took off, flying towards the open-air training ground .

Qiao Sang looked at the Electric Monster, who was sitting quietly on the sofa, and said,

“Mr. Electric, we’re done eating. Follow me.”

With that, he walked towards the open-air training ground.

“Diandian.”

The Electric Monster stood up, nodded slightly to Mikaela and Yabao, indicating that he was leaving, and then followed slowly behind.

…

Open-air training ground.

“Diandian?”

The Electric Monster called out, indicating that he needed something.

A gust of wind blew by, and no one answered.

“You translate,” Qiao Sang said after waiting for a long time when Tingbao didn’t speak.

“Tingting.”

So it needs a translator… Tingbao called out, offering assistance.

“You just need to unleash your electric skills,” Qiao Sang said.

“Electric.”

The electric monster didn’t ask, simply falling into a horse stance and raising its right hand to clench its fist.

“Zizi~”

Yellow electric snakes leaped and crackled, enveloping its fist.

Lightning Fist, a mid-level electric skill, a physical contact attack… Qiao Sang watched the electric monster unleash its skills, then paused for a moment before adding,

“Use a special attack electric skill.”

After a pause, she added, “Attack it.” She

then gestured in Tingbao’s direction with her eyes.

“Tingting.”

Tingbao gave a look of “I’m ready.”

“Electric.”

The electric monster cried out, retracting its lightning fist. Then, yellow lightning with a slightly chaotic effect swirled around its body.

The next second, the yellow lightning surrounding it instantly launched a frenzied attack towards Tingbao’s position.

Tingbao stepped forward, opened his mouth, revealing a bloody maw, and proactively met the lightning.

When unleashing its newly awakened skill, Qiao Sang had specifically mentioned its lightning-swallowing ability.

“Boom!”

With a resounding roar, the unbridled force of lightning slammed into Tingbao.

For a moment, the blinding force enveloped its entire body.

It seemed Tingbao hadn’t swallowed any of the lightning… Qiao Sang observed this scene, subconsciously analyzing it.

If lightning could be swallowed, all the force should have gone into its mouth.

With a fleeting thought, the lightning force dissipated from Tingbao, revealing its intact form.

“Dian Dian…”

The electric monster frowned as it gazed at the unharmed dragon-type pet nearby.

It sensed the dragon-type pet’s weak aura, suggesting it was a low-level pet. It hadn’t expected its lightning to have any effect on it.

“Did it swallow some of the lightning?” Qiao Sang asked.

“Ting Ting…”

Tingbao felt it and nodded uncertainly.

It should have.

Whether it does or not, we’ll find out after a look… Qiao Sang, without a word, entered the Beast Taming Codex and quickly flipped to the page about Thunder Treasure.

[Name: Thunder Dragon]

[Attributes: Dragon, Lightning]

[Level: Intermediate (1103/10000)+]

It actually swallowed and absorbed some lightning… Qiao Sang’s eyes lit up when he looked at the number after the level, but he quickly calmed down.

It only increased by three points, indicating that it didn’t absorb much. In terms of efficiency, it would be better to take some energy pills and fight…

Qiao Sang regained consciousness and looked at the electric monster.

“Thank you for your help. I’ll give you a five-star rating.”

“Electric?”

The electric monster was stunned. Mission accomplished.

No one responded.

Qiao Sang looked at Tingbao.

Tingbao blinked.

“Translate,” Qiao Sang said helplessly.

“Tingting,”

Tingbao finally called out, helping with the translation.

“Yes, mission accomplished,” Qiao Sang nodded.

Is this the kind of mission a rich person might assign? Just ask it to perform an electric skill… The Electric Blast Monster had never received such an easy mission. It was dazed for a moment, then nodded slightly and called out,

“Dian Dian,”

before turning and leaving.

At this time, Mikaela came from the direction of the living room and asked,

“Did you detect anything?”

Qiao Sang pretended to be surprised and replied, “It should be the lightning swallowing feature.”

Mikaela did not show any surprise, and then thought for a while and said,

“I have heard that some thunder dragons will awaken the lightning swallowing feature. The prerequisite for possessing this feature is that they must have the characteristics of a lightning rod and a very strong physique. It is considered a rare feature among electric pets.”

Teacher Mikaela is really a mobile encyclopedia… Qiao Sang sighed inwardly, and pretended to be disappointed on the surface:

“But it seems that Tingbao doesn’t swallow a lot of lightning power.”

To be honest, it’s not completely fake. Tingbao’s lightning swallowing feature is level B. The introduction says that it can swallow lightning during thunderstorms. The electric monster is a general-level electric pet. The lightning power it exerts is much weaker than the lightning power in nature. She thought that if it can be absorbed, it should be completely absorbed. Unexpectedly, it only absorbed a very small part.

Upon hearing this, Mikala smiled and explained,

“The Thunder Dragon’s Lightning Swallowing ability probably isn’t S-level. Only an S-level one can devour lightning indiscriminately.”

“Other Lightning Swallowing abilities, even A-level ones, can only devour the essence of lightning. Consuming less pure lightning will only cause a feeling of fullness, without increasing stamina or energy.”

“Absorbing too much of this impure lightning will actually harm the body.”

“Tingting.”

Tingbao listened carefully and nodded in agreement.

No wonder it was so full right now.

Since the trip to Wanbing Island, it hadn’t disliked Mikala so much anymore, and would occasionally chat with him.

You are full because you ate a lot of fruits in the morning. Didn’t you see that you couldn’t eat many bites of lunch… Qiao Sang glanced at Tingbao silently and asked:

“Then Tingbao can’t just swallow the lightning cast by the pet?”

“It’s better not to.” Mikaela said: “No matter how strong the lightning power of the electric pet is, it is not pure enough as the natural one. But if its lightning swallowing performance reaches S-level in the future, there will naturally be no problem.”

Qiao Sang asked impatiently: “Then is there any way to improve the lightning swallowing feature?”

Mikaela pondered for a moment and said:

“You can let the Thunder Dragon swallow more lightning power in thunder and lightning weather. If it swallows for a long time, maybe it will be improved.”

The prerequisite for possessing the lightning swallowing feature is the characteristics of a lightning rod and a strong physique.

The Thunder Dragon’s lightning rod is S-rank. As a dragon-type pet, its physique will naturally grow stronger as it evolves. The two conditions it needs to meet, especially the first, are already perfect. Given this, with the Thunder Dragon’s subsequent evolution and repeated lightning ingestion, it’s possible that its lightning-swallowing ability will improve.

“Then can a pet absorb lightning during thunderstorms?” Qiao Sang asked again.

Yantianxing has a perennially hot climate. Although there hasn’t been a severe drought in nearly a hundred years, rainy days are still relatively rare, let alone thunderstorms. If Tingbao was supposed to absorb more of the power of natural lightning, she could only imagine it was the pet using this technique… Mikaela smiled and said,

“Thunderstorms are a skill that modifies local celestial phenomena. Natural lightning strikes, of course, can be absorbed.”

It seemed like they’d need to find a pet that could use Thunderstorms to help Tingbao absorb the power. Alternatively, they could have Qingbao improve his proficiency in Thunderstorms, and then, when more lightning strikes, have Tingbao absorb them. This would save them the expense of finding a pet that could use Thunderstorms, killing two birds with one stone… Qiao Sang thought of this, and her gaze inevitably turned toward the living room.

…

The next morning, Qiao Sang arose, washed up briefly, had breakfast, said goodbye to the detective cat, and left the villa with Mikaela.

“Tingting…”

Tingbao was sweltering as soon as he stepped outside. His now-large size prevented him from fitting into the backpack, so he had to stay close to his beastmaster, following her steps as he crawled, his head pressed against the pack.

Over two meters tall, his head almost as big as the pack itself, any slight movement from outside would jostle Lubao inside.

After a few such jostlings,

Lubao scrambled out of the pack and, with a rare serious expression, called out,

“Bingdi!

Stop messing with the pack! “

Then, he scrambled back inside.

“Tingting…”

Tingbao’s expression was aggrieved.

It hadn’t been like this before, so why wouldn’t he be allowed in now?

Just as he felt the pain, Lubao reached out with his paw and unzipped the pack.

A second later, a perceptible chill spread from the pack outwards,

sending the temperature plummeting within several meters.

“Tingting!”

Tingbao, startled at the sudden chill, then called out joyfully into the pack.

Lubao didn’t respond from within.

Qiao Sang felt the incoming cool air, but didn’t feel anything particularly noticeable. He continued chatting with Teacher Mikala.

“Have you found a place to stay this time?”

“Of course,” Mikala said. “Menzhou is one of the hottest places on the entire Flame Sky Star. Without a cool place, Xia Lala and the others wouldn’t be able to endure it.”

Menzhou, after the fireball a hundred years ago, has been a region of extremely high temperatures. It’s fine indoors, but unbearable outdoors.

To combat the scorching heat, many Beastmasters spend a fortune contracting a water or ice-type pet when they officially become Beastmasters. Those with limited personal or family resources would settle for a fire-type pet.

After all, as a fire-type pet evolves, the Beastmaster benefits from it, developing a certain degree of resistance to the heat.

This is definitely just for Xia Lala… Qiao Sang thought to himself.

“Let’s go,” Mikala said, looking at Peng Jiamei.

“Peng Jiamei,”

Peng Jiamei cried, her eyes gleaming blue.

The next second, the two and their pets vanished from the spot.

Three hours later,

in Menzhou, the Barrier Nighthawk landed smoothly.

Passengers emerged from the Barrier Nighthawk’s mouth and immediately pulled out ice balls and other cooling items to cool down.

Even so, many people and pets wailed.

Qiao Sang carried Xia Lala off the plane, her expression unchanged, not even a drop of sweat.

Xiao Xunbao, Qingbao, and Tingbao clung to her, feeling refreshed.

Even Gangbao silently moved closer to his beastmaster.

The tourists disembarking nearby, sensing something, followed suit.

Qiao Sang’s quickness led to their slower pace, as if they were a tour group.

Finally, someone couldn’t resist leaning over, braving the Dragon King’s scrutiny and asking,

“Hello, may I ask what item you’re carrying? Why is the temperature so low next to you?”

The people and pets nearby pricked up their ears.

Qiao Sang turned around and saw that the other party looked like he was asking for advice. He smiled and said,

“I don’t have any props with me. It’s the coolness emanating from my pet.”

As soon as he said this, the people around him immediately swept their eyes over Yabao and the others, trying to find out which pet it was.

Finally, everyone’s eyes were on Qingbao.

Qingbao: “???”

At this time, a white fox pet in front of him, only about 60 centimeters in size, slowly grew in size until it stopped at about 6 meters.

Then it swung its tail, exuding a cool breath, and walked forward with a rather arrogant step.

The eyes of everyone and the pets suddenly lit up, and they instantly abandoned Qiao Sang and quickly followed. (End of this chapter)
