Beast Taming: Starting From Zero - Chapter 1275

1275. Chapter 1270 Soundproofing (Two in One)

Soon, the Beast Taming Codex flipped to the page concerning Steel Treasure.

[Name: Steel Power Imperial]

[Attributes: Steel, Flying]

[Level: Imperial (100 Million/100 Million)+]

…

[Skills: …Sky Wing Blade (Entry Level 2/100)+]

Alas, no new defensive skills added… Qiao Sang’s gaze quickly fell on the last row of the skill column. When he saw that the last skill to appear was still Sky Wing Blade, he couldn’t help but sigh in disappointment.

In order to consume the Blunt Stone, Steel Treasure had taken the time to learn Abyssal Bite and practiced it to the Ultimate level. To his surprise, he hadn’t even awakened a single intermediate defensive skill.

“Steel Power,”

the thought flashed through his mind, and Steel Treasure called out, indicating that it was fine. At least it had learned Abyssal Bite, and this evolution had awakened two Advanced-level skills. It was already very satisfied.

Indeed, one of the two super-tier skills is absolute defense. Even if Gangbao awakened a new defensive skill by consuming the Blunt Stone, it couldn’t possibly be stronger than this one… Qiao Sang quickly adjusted her mindset and subconsciously reviewed the data she had previously skipped.

It seemed that the trait levels hadn’t changed with the full evolution. The bond strength remained at S-rank… Then again, S-rank was the highest trait level, and Gangbao’s bond strength was marked “MAX” with no room for improvement. So, wouldn’t Gangbao’s next stage of evolution rely on bond strength? No

… Qiao Sang recalled something, and a thought struck her.

Ju Jiji had seen Gangbao’s future and discovered that the evolution from Emperor to King still relied on bond strength.

So, with his current maxed-out bond strength, could Gangbao directly use it for a temporary evolution as long as he had enough energy at the Emperor level?

She pondered, her gaze downward.

Suddenly, Qiao Sang saw something, and her thoughts stopped abruptly. A startled expression flashed across her face, followed by a burst of delight.

Behind the eighth trait, Heart of Steel, suddenly appeared the ninth trait!

[Ninth Trait: Soundproofing

Grade: A (1/10000), Status: (Exceptionally Useful), Description: (Immune to damage and effects from all sound-based skills)]

Soundproofing! Qiao Sang was pleasantly surprised to have awakened the Soundproofing trait.

Since becoming a professional Beast Tamer, she’d encountered many opponents capable of sound-based attacks. Her initial solution was to cover her ears, attempting to block out the sound.

However, this method was limited in effectiveness and wasn’t completely effective. Some sound-based skills not only dealt mental damage but also created explosions, dealing physical damage, making them difficult to defend against.

Sound-based skills were definitely one of her biggest headaches.

The power of the bond would make her feel any damage from Steel, and the same was true for sound-based skills.

If she encountered a sound-based attack that targeted her mentally, the power would be too strong to resist, affecting not only Steel but her entire state, and even her subsequent decisions and commands.

After all, at this level, a single delay or error in command could mean the end of the match.

But now with the soundproofing trait, if Gangbao encounters such a skill, he won’t have to worry about it at all.

Unexpectedly, Gangbao didn’t awaken his defensive skills, but instead awakened a defensive trait.

This trait is far more practical than most defensive skills.

Qiao Sang admired the newly awakened trait for a moment, then contentedly exited the Beast Taming Codex and returned to reality.

“Pray for rain?”

Just as consciousness returned, he heard the Rain-Praying Phoenix call out.

Where is it resting?

Qiao Sang was stunned for a moment: “Right here.”

“Pray for rain,”

the Rain-Praying Phoenix cried out in disdain, expressing its distaste for how it could rest in such a small place without even a tree.

… Qiao Sang patiently explained: “Usually, there aren’t trees in hotel rooms.”

Then, an idea struck her, and she suggested: “There’s a room next door. Why don’t you take one of your own?”

“Pray for rain,”

the Rain-Praying Phoenix said without hesitation, refusing to accept the offer. “The Yin Panling wants me to follow you at all times.”

Upon hearing this, Qiao Sang recalled the previous incident, her curiosity aroused. She asked, “What’s your relationship with Yin Panling?”

Xiao Xunbao and Qingbao pricked up their ears simultaneously, sharing the same gossipy expression as their own beastmaster.

“Pray for rain.”

Qi Yufeng was stunned, seemingly unprepared for the question. It flinched for a moment, then, managing its expression, barked, signaling that it was none of their business.

“Do you like it?” Qiao Sang asked again.

She had been deeply impressed by Qi Yufeng’s previous, servile demeanor. If Yin Panling’s strength was simply superior to Qi Yufeng’s, she doubted she would act that way. Jiu Bugu,

standing alone and melancholy by the window, suddenly became sensitive at the word “like” and turned to look.

“Pray for rain?”

Qi Yufeng was shocked.

How did you know?

As expected… Qiao Sang smiled. “Because your affection was too obvious.”

She couldn’t say you were being too servile.

“Pray for rain.”

The rain-phoenix started to hesitate again, then a thought struck it. A warning expression flashed through its face, and it barked, implying that this matter must remain between us and you.

Qiao Sang paused for a moment, then turned to look at Yabao, then at Xiaoxunbao, Qingbao, Lubao, Gangbao, Tingbao, Xialala, and Jisdan…

“Pray for rain!”

The rain-phoenix followed her gaze, then realized something and barked out a compliment.

Only I and you know!

Meanwhile, in the other room, Peng Jiamei, who had just been preparing for bed, opened her eyes and glanced at the Dragon King next to her, her eyes glowing blue.

A transparent barrier instantly enveloped the room, blocking out all sound and movement.

“Grind!”

Almost as the barrier closed, the Dragon King laughed, his expression mocking, and barked, expressing his surprise that even at her age, the rain-phoenix still expressed her feelings.

As expected, the sound was blocked quickly enough… Peng Jiamei closed her eyes again.

On the other side, Qiao Sang hummed and said,

“Don’t worry, I won’t tell anyone else.”

“Xunxun?”

Little Xunbao chirped with curiosity, asking why he couldn’t let anyone know he liked Yin Panling.

“Pray for rain…”

Qiyufeng sighed and called out.

Because Yin Panling hadn’t agreed, she wouldn’t let me tell anyone.

Little Xunbao didn’t understand.

He could understand the lack of agreement, but should he also forbid others from knowing? Qiao Sang didn’t understand either.

“Pray for rain.”

Qiyufeng, remembering something important, chirped, expressing its desire for a tree in the room.

Qiao Sang paused his gossiping thoughts and sighed, “But there’s no tree in this room. Even if we move to another hotel, they won’t have trees in their rooms.”

“Pray for rain,”

Qiyufeng chirped with a simple expression.

Then, flapping its wings, it approached the window and shouted, “Pray for rain!”

Invisible waves of sound rippled out.

About three minutes later, a two-meter-tall yellow flying pet, carrying a green pet whose entire body resembled leaves, landed by the window.

“Susu.”

The pet, whose body resembled a leaf, leaped from the window and barked respectfully at Qiyufeng.

“Qiyu,”

Qiyufeng, maintaining her bossy demeanor, barked, implying that trees would grow here.

Grow trees? Xia Lala’s eyes lit up.

Qiao Sang, overhearing the exchange, quickly called out,

“Wait!”

Qiyufeng and the pet, whose body resembled a leaf, glanced over.

Qiao Sang said tactfully, “If a tree grows in the room, Yabao and the others might have trouble moving around.”

Yabao paused. “

Losing things?”

It didn’t matter. He usually trained outside, and when he came back, he’d spend most of his time sleeping in bed.

But since his own Beastmaster had mentioned it, it must be.

“Yabao!”

Thinking of this, Yabao nodded in agreement.

Exactly.

Qi Yufeng frowned and was about to say something when Qiao Sang continued,

“Why don’t you stay in the spare room next door? That way you’ll have more room to rest. Besides, you’re an Emperor-level Pet. If we make any noise, it’s just a door between us. With your abilities, you’ll definitely be able to detect it immediately.”

“Gangquan,”

Gangbao added, pointing his wing at little Xunbao.

“Besides, my boss doesn’t sleep at night and likes to play with his phone. Sleeping in this room would disturb you.

” “Xunxun~”

Little Xunbao only heard the word “boss” and held his head high.

Rain-Prayer Phoenix pondered for a moment, feeling that what he said made sense. With a look of “let’s do it,” she called out,

“Rain-Prayer.”

With that, she flapped her wings and headed for the next room.

The pet, whose body resembled a leaf, quickly followed.

Soon, a rich green light illuminated the next room, and a tree appeared out of nowhere.

The tree grew wildly, its branches and leaves spreading like crazy.

In just a few seconds, most of the next room was completely obscured by the tree.

Suddenly, a branch extended, closing the door.

Rain-Prayer Phoenix and the pet, whose body resembled a leaf, did not emerge again.

“Xunxun?”

Little Xunbao poked his head into the next door, then emerged again, calling out curiously, wondering if the pet had just transformed into a tree.

Qiao Sang hummed, explaining,

“That’s a Suye baby. It has two forms: normal and growth. When it’s in growth form, it transforms into a tree, basking in the sunlight to grow faster.” “

Xunxun~”

Little Xunbao’s eyes lit up, amazed.

Qiao Sang smiled, “Some pets also have battle forms, changing their forms during combat.”

This was something she had only recently learned from reading books on the subject.

Few pets can change forms without evolving. Since becoming a professional beastmaster, she’d only seen one: the Suye baby just summoned by the Rain-Praying Phoenix.

“Xunxun!”

Little Xunbao exclaimed excitedly.

There’s a battle form, too! So impressive!

“Ya Ya?”

Yabao exclaimed, interested, wondering if the battle form meant it was incredibly powerful.

“Much stronger than its normal form,” Qiao Sang said with a smile. “Don’t worry, you’ll run into one again someday.”

Xia Lala listened to the conversation and opened her mouth, but nothing came out.

Qiao Sang suddenly remembered something and looked at Gangbao, asking,

“Do you want to eat now?”

“Gangquan,” Gangbao nodded.

Qiao Sang pulled the two Elephant Fruits Yin Panling had given him from his pocket and handed them to him.

Gangbao took them with his wings and placed them directly in his mouth. He chewed them twice and swallowed them.

Then, sensing something, he found a place to lie down, closed his eyes, and began to digest.

Qiao Sang’s consciousness entered the Beast Taming Codex and noticed that the stats behind Gangbao’s level were rapidly soaring.

It seemed that the energy contained in these Elephant Fruits was indeed enormous. Gangbao might not be able to digest them all in a short time…

Qiao Sang thought as his consciousness returned to reality.

“Xunxun…”

Little Xunbao looked at Gangbao, who had closed his eyes, and remembered something. He gritted his teeth, removed the ring, and took out the Dead Spirit Grass from it, stuffing it into his mouth as if it were poison.

A unpleasant smell filled the room.

“Qingqing.”

Qingbao gave a look of disgust and disappeared.

The flower bud on Xia Lala’s neck trembled, its refreshing scent instantly masking the scent of the dead grass.

Even so, the room still had a somewhat unpleasant smell.

Lu Bao held her breath, walked to the water tank by the window, and sprayed blue water into it.

Jiu Bu Gu, who was standing nearby, saw Lu Bao and was startled. He then quickly took out a photo of the Smiling Eye Night Spirit and looked at it to calm his mind.

…

8:10 pm.

“Knock knock~”

There was a sudden knock on the door.

“Jis.”

Jis Egg rolled to the door, stood up and jumped.

However, its legs were too short to reach the doorknob.

After jumping twice, Jis Egg turned around and called out, “Jis!”

It couldn’t reach the door.

With that, it fell to the ground and rolled away.

Qiao Sang walked to the door and turned the doorknob.

Jacqueline stood at the doorway, her expression complex as she asked,

“Has Steel Chief Kane fully evolved?”

Qiao Sang smiled and said, “Hmm,” “It’s now called Steel Supreme Emperor.”

Jacqueline walked in and was stunned by the name: “Emperor?”

“It’s the ultimate,” Qiao Sang explained.

Jacqueline gave a look of “I see,” then something occurred to her. She took a deep breath and asked, “Where’s Teacher Mikala?”

Before Qiao Sang could answer, Mikala pushed open the door and walked out, greeting him, “You’re here.”

Jacqueline looked at Mikala, took another deep breath, and then, with a fake smile, asked,

“Senior, didn’t you say that you guys are in Sound Bird Valley and need to apply to enter, so you can’t have Peng Jiamei come to pick me up?”

Mikaela came to the sofa and sat down, saying: “When we contacted you before, we were indeed in the Sound Bird Valley. When we contacted you again later, you were already riding a flying pet, so we didn’t let Peng Jiamei go over.”

This is a senior, this is a senior… Jacqueline muttered in her heart, put away her resentment, and glanced around the room.

Soon, her eyes fell on Gangbao.

“Why did Gangquan Huangji fall asleep at this time?” Jacqueline was stunned and asked.

In her impression, Gangquan Huangji was a hardworking and self-disciplined pet, and he shouldn’t be sleeping at this time.

“It just ate two Ranxiang fruits a few hours ago and is digesting them.” Qiao Sang explained.

Jacqueline: “???” (End of this chapter)
