Beast Taming: Starting From Zero - Chapter 1322

1322. Chapter 1317 A Day Without Lubao (Can be read together with tomorrow)

Villa, living room.

“Pun-Pun.”

Peng Jiamei, realizing that Lubao, her usual healer, was gone, called out, signaling to go find a pet that could heal.

“Okay,” Qiao Sang nodded. “I’ll stay here with Teacher Mikala.”

“Pun-Pun.”

Peng Jiamei called out, a look of “please.”

Then, her eyes flashed blue.

Just then, Xia Lala came over and called out,

“Xia Xia.”

She could help heal.

The blue light in Peng Jiamei’s eyes faded, and she looked at Xia Lala with gratitude.

“That’s great!” Qiao Sang exclaimed in surprise.

Lubao usually healed, and she had almost forgotten that Xia Lala had such abilities.

Then, she looked at Teacher Mikala, and a thought flashed through her mind.

The next second, a gust of wind appeared, lifted Mikala from the ground, turned her over, and gently placed her on the sofa.

“Mo Mo,”

the Dragon King called out sternly, signaling that they should heal first while he went out to find the enemy and make sure they didn’t escape.

“Xunxun!”

Little Xunbao nodded repeatedly.

That’s right, we mustn’t let him get away!

“Jiujiu.”

“Jiujiu.”

Jiubugu called out twice in a serious tone, implying that since he had attacked their beastmaster without warning right under their noses, he was definitely no ordinary creature. It would be better if you stayed and I went.

“Xunxun!”

Little Xunbao listened, convinced it made sense, and nodded again in agreement.

Jiubugu was higher level, so it was indeed better for him to go.

You should keep your words to yourself… Qiao Sang couldn’t help but glance at Little Xunbao.

In the past, the Dragon King would have undoubtedly objected, but now, he had to admit that Jiubugu had a point.

“Momo,”

the Dragon King called out with a serious expression.

We must capture that fellow.

“Xunxun!”

Little Xunbao nodded in agreement.

That’s right, we must capture him!

“Jiujiu,”

Jiubugu called out sternly.

He would.

With that, he was about to float outside.

“Wait,” Qiao Sang observed, speaking quickly. “You should stay and wait for Teacher Mikala to wake up first. Otherwise, if they show up after you leave, it won’t be good.”

Jiu Bu Gu turned, about to say something, when Peng Jia Mei, who had been staring at Mikala, suddenly called out,

“Pen Peng.” “

Listen to Qiao Sang, you stay. “

“Jiu Jiu,”

Jiu Bu Gu was silent for a moment, then called out, indicating understanding. Then, his eyes glowed purple again, and he glanced around warily.

Xia La La came over to Mikala, extending a paw and placing it on her, a green glow emanating.

But at that moment, Mikala suddenly opened her eyes and sat up.

“Xia Xia…”

Xia La La dispersed the green glow and retracted her paw.

“Pen Peng!” “Mo Mo!

“

“Jiu Jiu!”

Peng Jia Mei, the Dragon King, and Jiu Bu Gu all shared expressions of surprise.

At the same moment, with a “bang,” Xiao Xun Bao’s eyes closed without warning, and he fell forward.

Looks like the time has come to borrow someone’s life… Qiao Sang was quick to catch Little Xunbao, his face anxious,

“Little Xunbao! What’s wrong with you? Don’t scare me!”

Gangbao, who had just flown in from outside, silently glanced at his own beastmaster, then, with a similarly anxious expression, called out,

“Gangquan?”

Peng Jiamei, Dragon King, and Jiu Bugu immediately dropped their expressions of surprise and looked around warily.

“What happened?” Mikala looked bewildered for a moment, then glanced around, first at Xia Lala, then at Qiao Sang, inquiring.

“I was training outside just now when I heard Peng Jiamei’s voice. I came over and found you fainted…” Qiao Sang briefly recounted what had happened.

“Pan Jiamei,”

Peng Jiamei nodded, confirming that was all.

During their conversation, Xia Lala came over to Qiao Sang and placed her paw on Little Xunbao’s body, emitting a green glow. The

green light rippled across Little Xunbao’s body.

“Xunxun…”

A short while later, little Xunbao slowly regained consciousness.

“Thank you,” Qiao Sang looked at Xia Lala with gratitude.

“Xia Xia,”

Xia Lala smiled and barked, indicating it was nothing.

“So, did little Xunbao faint suddenly, just like I did just now?” Michaela inquired.

Qiao Sang hummed a “hmm.”

Michaela fell into deep thought.

“Xunxun…”

Little Xunbao floated back up, swallowed, and glanced around warily.

What a formidable opponent, it hadn’t noticed at all…

Qiao Sang: “…”

It’s my turn to perform… Qiao Sang, a thoughtful expression on her face, said:

“Come to think of it, when little Xunbao was fighting Gangbao just now, he was hit head-on by Taishan Yading, yet he was completely unharmed…”

At this point, she paused, then continued, “And then I heard Peng Jiamei’s voice.”

“Xunxun?”

Little Xunbao recalled, a look of “yeah” on his face, and barked, indicating how could he be completely unharmed.

“Xunxun?”

Then, a thought struck it, its eyes suddenly lit up, and it barked again.

Did it become more defensive after evolving?

No… Qiao Sang resisted the urge to speak.

Mikala pondered for a moment and asked, “Are you saying that the time when Xiao Xunbao was attacked and the time when I fainted happened at about the same time?”

As expected of an S-level beastmaster, he asked the key question right away… Qiao Sang sighed inwardly, and said “hmm” hesitantly:

“Do you think your sudden fainting is related to the attack on Xiao Xunbao?”

As soon as these words came out, Peng Jiamei, the Dragon King, Jiu Bugu and Xia Lala all looked at Xiao Xunbao at the same time.

Xiao Xunbao: “???”

“Xunxun!”

Xiao Xunbao widened his eyes and looked at his own beastmaster in astonishment, with an expression of “What does it have to do with me?”

Mikala looked at Xiao Xunbao, thought for two seconds, and suddenly said: “You mean, Xiao Xunbao awakened the life-borrowing trait?”

It’s amazing, the knowledge reserve of S-level beastmasters is rich… Qiao Sang nodded and analyzed:

“That’s right, I didn’t expect it either. But the timing of Little Xunbao’s attack and your fainting was so accurate. With its defense, it should have been seriously injured by Gangbao’s Taishan Pressure, even if it hadn’t fainted immediately, but it’s completely fine.”

“And just now, when you suddenly woke up, Little Xunbao fainted at the same time. This situation is too similar to borrowing life.”

“Most importantly, with your abilities, apart from this strange trait, I can’t imagine anyone else could have knocked you unconscious without making a sound.”

“Not to mention, Meimei and the others were nearby at the time. If there were any real enemies, they would have surely sensed it.”

Peng Jiamei looked thoughtful and called out,

“Peng Peng.”

It indeed didn’t sense any strange presence around.

The Dragon King was convinced. He looked at Little Xunbao, laughed, and called out twice,

“Mo Mo.”

“Mo Mo.”

What? It was you, little fellow, who was responsible for awakening such a powerful trait. Not bad.

Jiu Bu Gu glanced at Little Xunbao, the coldness in his eyes disappearing, replaced by melancholy.

It floated to the window, pulled out a photo, and began to look at it in the sunlight.

Meanwhile, Xia Lala seemed to notice something. She came over to Gang Bao and called out,

“Xia Xia.” “

You seem injured. Let me heal you.”

“Gang Quan.”

Gang Bao nodded without objecting.

Xia Lala’s paw glowed green as she placed it on Gang Bao’s body.

“Xun Xun?”

Little Xun Bao, on the other side, looked puzzled.

Borrowing life?

Qiao Sang nodded and said, “Yes, borrowing life. This trait allows you to borrow the state of surrounding creatures with a certain probability when your own state is nearing its limit.”

“Xun Xun!”

Little Xun Bao’s eyes suddenly lit up.

So impressive!

Mikaela finished her thoughts at this point and mused, “From what you’ve said, it’s very likely that Little Xun Bao has awakened Borrowing Life, and it seems to be at a fairly high level.”

After a pause, she added, “Even I’m affected in the house.”

Her tone was calm, neither angry nor surprised, a true leader’s demeanor.

“Xunxun~”

“Xunxun~”

Little Xunbao, already realizing the power of this ability, began to float around happily.

“Teacher, are you alright?” Qiao Sang asked cautiously, observing the reddened skin on Teacher Mikala’s forehead.

Mikala smiled, “What can I possibly be doing? The borrowing life ability only lasts for a certain amount of time. Waking up means I’ve recovered.”

“That’s good,” Qiao Sang breathed a sigh of relief. “Then I’ll get back to training.”

“Okay,” Mikala nodded slightly. “

Little Xunbao,” Qiao Sang called out.

“Xunxun~”

Little Xunbao’s eyes flashed blue. “

Xia Xia,” Xia Lala called out, signaling she’d come along.

In the next second, Qiao Sang, Little Xunbao, Gang Bao, and Xia Lala vanished from the spot.

Borrowing life… Mikala touched his forehead, took a deep breath, and finally asked the question he’d been wanting to ask for a long time:

“Did I just fall face first?”

“Punpun,”

Peng Jiamei nodded.

Mikaela’s eyelids twitched, and she asked again, “You should have helped me up when Qiaosang arrived, right?”

Peng Jiamei fell silent.

Mikaela had a bad feeling in her heart, but she refused to give up. Seeing Peng Jiamei didn’t answer, she looked at the Dragon King with a questioning look.

“Hey, hey,”

the Dragon King waved its paw and called out, saying that Qiaosang had arrived too quickly. You were still lying down when she arrived, and it was she who had pushed you onto the sofa.

Mikaela: “!!!”

…

7 p.m.

At the living room dining table.

“Xunxun~”

“Xunxun~”

Little Xunbao was in high spirits. As he ate, he happily chatted with Yabao and the others, exclaiming about the amazing new traits and skills he had awakened.

Throughout the day, through battles and his own intuition, he had already activated all of his newly awakened traits and skills.

“Are you saying that little Xunbao also awakened Demon Armor?” Mikaela paused in his eating.

Qiao Sang hummed, and said with emotion: “I didn’t expect that Xiao Xunbao could actually awaken a super-level skill of the evil element.”

Mikaela resumed eating and said thoughtfully:

“Maybe it’s because the evil energy in Xiao Xunbao’s body increased a lot after he evolved into the Lord of the Dark Ring.”

After a pause, she added: “This skill obviously fills the gap in Xiao Xunbao’s defense. We can focus on training this skill next.”

“I understand.” Qiao Sang joked: “But to be honest, I feel that with Xiao Xunbao’s characteristics, it is better not to defend and let the opponent attack.”

Mikaela said calmly: “At the Royal level, the ultimate move of the pet can directly defeat the opponent. You now only have three Royal pets. Among all the contestants, the number of Royal pets is not superior. You must at least ensure that Yabao and the others have the combat power of 1V2, so that they can continue to advance.”

“Xiao Xunbao’s mutual return characteristic can only be activated when it is absolutely necessary.”

“Doesn’t it also have the Borrow Life trait…” Qiao Sang paused when she said this and asked, “Is there any way to avoid being affected by the Borrow Life trait on the battlefield?”

To be honest, after a day of understanding the Borrow Life trait, she found that this trait is really useful if it doesn’t affect herself.

Xiao Xunbao has the Same Return trait. If he is hit by a killing move, he will faint at the same time as his opponent. Then, at the critical moment, he can activate the Borrow Life trait and recover.

This recovery period is enough for the referee to determine the winner of the match.

The Master Challenge is an all-out battle. Pets cannot be retrieved during the battle, but they can be retrieved after the match.

After the game is decided, I can take Xiao Xunbao back to the Beast Taming Book. In this way, even if the time limit for borrowing life is up, Xiao Xunbao can quickly recover some status in the Beast Taming Book.

Speaking of borrowing lives, Mikaela instantly remembered the scene during the day. His expression froze, but he quickly recovered and said,

“Yes, but contestants and pets are not allowed to use it in the competition, just like props and potions.”

Qiao Sang frowned and said,

“What if during the competition, the pet borrows its life to exchange status with the contestant?”

“Then let the pet play on its own and continue the competition.” Mikaela said while eating elegantly, “Luck is also a part of strength. It affects the contestants, and the pets on the field can continue to fight.”

“If you are lucky, you might be able to exchange status with your opponent.”

S-level borrowing lives can affect the villa from the open space. How lucky do you have to be to directly exchange status with the opponent… Qiao Sang sighed in his heart, and asked,

“But the contestant fainted, what should we do in the next game?”

“Wait until the small game is over, a healing team will come to treat you, and then you can have the next game.” Mikaela said.

If that were the case, even if little Xunbao accidentally swapped states with his own, as long as he could hold his own, he still had a chance of winning… at most, he’d be embarrassed… With that thought, Qiao Sang gathered his thoughts and turned to little Xunbao, saying,

“After we finish eating, let’s continue training and try out the Borrow Life ability.”

“Xunxun~”

little Xunbao called out cheerfully.

“Xia Xia,”

Xia Lala called out, indicating she’d come along too. Since Lubao wasn’t around, she could help with the treatment.

Qiao Sang paused for a moment, then smiled brightly.

“Okay, I’ll trouble you then.” (End of Chapter)
