Beast Taming: Starting From Zero - Chapter 1371

Chapter 1371. Chapter 1366 Tingbao’s Fighting Spirit (Part 2)

“Dimensional Order Observer – Dragon Judge?” Qiao Sang confirmed the other party’s online name.

“Lightning?” Lightning Dragon nodded and called out.

Miyuki?

“That’s me.” Qiao Sang nodded.

“Lightning.” Lightning Dragon called out and placed a black box on the table.

Qiao Sang opened it and saw two Lightning Dragon scales inside.

Although this was the first time she had seen Lightning Dragon scales in person, there was a Lightning Dragon in front of her, and a quick comparison confirmed that the items were genuine.

Qiao Sang snapped the box shut and asked,

“Are these scales from a Lightning Dragon between 30 and 60 years old?”

“Lightning.” Lightning Dragon nodded.

Qiao Sang trusted her pets far more than she trusted people, so she didn’t suspect anything and took out her phone to transfer the money:

“Let’s go with the price we agreed on before, 360,000 Alliance Coins for one Lightning Dragon scale, two scales would be 720,000, scan me.”

With that, she handed over the QR code.

Dragon scales that fall off on their own lose a lot of energy. To ensure that only the best electric dragon scales are used, those sold on the market are generally considered to be freshly plucked scales, hence the slightly higher price. Qiao Sang’s price was even higher than the market price.

“Electric?”

However, the electric dragon didn’t take out its phone. Instead, it looked at the fully armed Ya Bao and called out in surprise.

Burning Emperor Duo?

It can still be recognized… Qiao Sang felt a slight headache.

She didn’t want to be surrounded during the transaction.

“Ya Ya.”

Ya Bao remembered that its beast tamer had said “don’t be recognized” before leaving. It raised its head and chest, adjusted its sunglasses with its paw, and called out.

It wasn’t me.

“Electric!”

Upon hearing the voice, the electric dragon suddenly stood up excitedly and shouted.

Burning Emperor Duo!

The people and pets in the cafe immediately stirred.

Seeing that everyone was about to crowd around, Qiao Sang quickly gave the invisible Little Treasure Hunter a wink.

“Xunxun~”

Little Xunbao’s eyes glowed blue as it vanished with its Beastmaster, Ya Bao, Xia Lala, and the Electric Dragon.

In a sun-drenched open space, the group of figures appeared out of thin air.

“Electric…”

The Electric Dragon looked around at the empty surroundings, recalling the commotion it had caused in the café by shouting. It scratched its head, looking embarrassed, and let out a cry.

“It’s nothing,” Qiao Sang said, placing her phone in front of it. “Let’s continue the transaction.”

The Electric Dragon looked at the QR code on the phone, then at Ya Bao and Qiao Sang, its expression hesitant.

“What’s wrong?” Qiao Sang asked, noticing its strange expression.

“Electric…”

The Electric Dragon struggled for two seconds before finally letting out a cry, indicating that it was actually its uncle’s scale.

Qiao Sang: “???”

Before Qiao Sang could ask, the Electric Dragon cried out again:

“Electric…”

Its uncle was already 72 years old.

Qiao Sang: “…”

The Electric Dragon apologized, then put on a heroic expression, gritted its teeth, raised its claws, and directly plucked off two of its own scales.

“Electric!”

A scream instantly echoed throughout the sky.

“Electric…”

The Electric Dragon weakly handed over the two scales it had just plucked, letting out a cry to indicate that its scales met the requirements.

Qiao Sang was silent for two seconds, then took the scales and said, “Don’t lie to me next time.”

The Electric Dragon nodded and took out its phone.

Qiao Sang transferred the money to it, and the transaction was complete.

…

Goodness, if that Electric Dragon hadn’t recognized Tooth Treasure, wouldn’t I have been tricked…? Back at the villa, Qiao Sang thought about what had just happened, feeling both depressed and relieved.

Frustrated, she’d actually encountered a scammer. What a ridiculous name—”Order Observer,” “Dragon Judge”—while the name was a bit cheesy, she’d at least assumed a righteous pet with that name. Thankfully, her pet was recognized, and the electric dragon, probably out of fear, gave her two genuine electric dragon scales.

Indeed, even pets shouldn’t be trusted so easily. She’d encountered scammers before; why couldn’t she remember…? Qiao Sang reflected on herself, took out her phone, contacted Teacher Jacqueline, and found the electric dragon scales herself.

She then asked Little Treasure Hunter to deliver them.

Although Little Treasure Hunter wasn’t as fast as Penjame, able to reach Teacher Jacqueline’s location in minutes, with its current energy, it could teleport several times and deliver them within five minutes.

Soon, her phone vibrated; Qiao Sang received a message from Teacher Jacqueline:

“Electric Dragon Scales received, no problem. I’ll send the prepared potion over within two days.”

Qiao Sang was satisfied. After replying with an “okay” and a thank-you emoji, she carried Xia Lala to the sofa and watched the Master Challenge livestream. “

Xia Xia!”

Xia Lala couldn’t help but call out when she saw something exciting.

Seeing this, Qiao Sang suddenly thought of something and asked,

“Are we going to training later?”

“Xia Xia.”

Xia Lala was taken aback at first, then smiled sweetly and nodded.

Xia Lala looked so well-behaved, so easily fooled. No wonder the Tenth Seat was worried about letting it go out alone… Qiao Sang thought to herself.

“Xun Xun…”

In a flash of thought, Little Xun Bao appeared out of thin air. It floated onto the sofa, sighed, and called out, indicating that everyone seemed to be a fan of Brother Ya Bao.

First Fu Lu Tian Tian, then Dian Guang Long, it felt like it hadn’t met many of its own fans.

“Is Dian Guang Long a fan of Ya Bao?” Qiao Sang asked.

“Xunxun~” Little Xunbao nodded and called out. It was obvious that it was. It was very excited to see Brother Yabao, and later it even plucked out its own scales.

That seems to make sense… Qiao Sang looked at Little Xunbao and said, “If you could take down three opponents of the same level in one go like Yabao, you would definitely have a lot of fans too.”

To be honest, she actually felt that Xiao Xunbao’s fans weren’t any fewer than Ya Bao’s. After all, Xiao Xunbao had been streaming for a long time, and after its appearance in the Master Challenge, it had millions of fans watching its streams every day. But she didn’t say this aloud because she knew how to motivate Xiao Xunbao even more.

“Xunxun!”

Sure enough, Xiao Xunbao’s eyes lit up, revealing a determined expression, and it called out, indicating that it would definitely be like its big brother Ya Bao.

After saying that, its eyes glowed blue and it disappeared from the spot.

Qiao Sang showed a satisfied and gratified expression.

Suddenly, she sensed something, looked down, and found Xia Lala staring at her intently.

“What’s wrong?” Qiao Sang asked.

“Xia Xia,” Xia Lala called out with a slightly admiring tone, indicating that she was very good.

Qiao Sang paused for a moment, then asked with a smile, “Why are you suddenly bringing this up?”

“Xia Xia,”

Xia Lala called out, indicating that a single word from you had gotten Xiao Xunbao to train on its own.

Qiao Sang chuckled, “I’m a professional beast tamer, and I’m currently competing. Even if I didn’t say anything, Xiao Xunbao would still train on its own.”

“Xia Xia?”

Xia Lala thought for a moment, then called out again, indicating that you like it training on its own.

“Of course,” Qiao Sang nodded, “Beast tamers should all like their pets to train on their own.”

“Xia Xia.”

Hearing this, Xia Lala jumped off the sofa and called out, indicating that it wanted to train now.

Hearing this, Qiao Sang felt a sudden pang of emotion. Could it be that Xia Lala had mentioned wanting to train now because she’d heard him say he liked pets and had taken the initiative to train?

Just then, a voice came from the television: “Smooth Fur Essence, making your fur forever smooth…”

It turned out the competition had ended, and they were on a commercial break… Qiao Sang glanced at the television, then looked away, picked up Xia Lala, and said, “I’ll go with you.”

“Xia Xia.”

Xia Lala nestled obediently in his arms, the bud on her neck twitching, her mood as cheerful as if she were going on a trip, not training.

…

Time flew by, and two days later it was over.

After lunch, Qiao Sang handed the potion to Ting Bao, saying, “Drink this; it will increase your energy.”

“Ting Ting.”

Ting Bao curled his tail around the potion and drank it all.

Remembering Teacher Ya Kelin’s instructions, Qiao Sang said, “After taking this potion, you cannot use your energy for training or battles for the entire day.”

“Ting Ting.” Ting Bao nodded.

“Xunxun…” Little Xunbao looked on with envy.

No training for a day…

“Gangquan.”

Gangbao, seemingly sensing Little Xunbao’s thoughts, called out, indicating that the next competition was only a few days away.

“Xunxun~” Little Xunbao immediately perked up, disappearing on the spot to train in the open space.

Yabao and the others followed suit .

Tingbao instinctively wanted to go too, but remembered its Beastmaster’s words and stopped. Tingbao

was quite bored for the rest of the time. It was used to training at this time, and suddenly not training left it unsure what to do, so it could only curl up on the sofa and watch the live broadcast of the competition.

As the contestants prepared for their final match and sent out their general-level pets, Qiao Sang explained from the sidelines:

“This pet is called the Rain Crocodile. It’s a general-level pet with both water and ground attributes. It has the ‘Easy Swim’ ability, which increases its speed in rainy weather. If you ever have the chance to face it, it’s best to use Thunderstorm immediately. This will prevent it from easily using Rain Dance. Although your Thunderstorm will increase its chances of hitting it in Rain Dance, it still has many other abilities that only activate in rain…”

“Tingting?”

Tingbao, seeing its master’s earnest explanation, finally couldn’t help but call out, wondering if it really had a chance to participate in the Master Challenge.

“Of course you do,” Qiao Sang smiled. “You’ve been improving lately, haven’t you? I have high hopes for you.”

“Tingting?”

Tingbao sighed and called out, indicating that it knew it was strong, but only compared to opponents of the same level. The weakest opponents in these competitions were at least a level higher than it.

Although Tingbao is young, its intelligence is much higher than that of Yabao and the others at the same age… Qiao Sang sighed inwardly and smiled,

“Maybe you can evolve before the official competition.”

For other dragon-type pets to evolve in a short time, it’s basically impossible unless they use some powerful item to overdraw their potential. But she has a cheat code, so if she really wanted Tingbao to evolve, she could do it.

After all, it’s only a high-level pet now, and the points needed for evolution aren’t too many; she’s already collected enough.

“Tingting.”

Tingbao felt that its master was comforting it, but it still called out to indicate that it understood.

Qiao Sang saw that Tingbao wasn’t very interested and could tell at a glance that it didn’t completely believe her. She thought for a moment and said,

“Actually, Teacher Michaela also advised me, saying that even if it’s already the last round, I shouldn’t let you fight easily, otherwise you might lose by a small margin. She also said that you’re a dragon-type pet and it’s impossible for you to evolve in a short time…”

She paused here and glanced at Tingbao’s reaction.

“Tingting…”

Sure enough, Tingbao’s face darkened, and crackling yellow arcs of electricity appeared on its body.

Dragon King, who was watching TV, glanced over.

Had his Beastmaster said that?

Dragon King pondered for 0.1 seconds, thinking that his Beastmaster might indeed have said that, and then looked away, continuing to watch the match.

Seeing the change in Tingbao’s mood, Qiao Sang thought to herself that Teacher Timijara was indeed useful. She put on a serious expression and continued,

“But I believe you can do it, whether it’s evolving or winning the match.”

“Tingting!”

Tingbao shouted with great spirit.

Of course it could!

…

The next morning.

Living room, dining table.

Mikaela glanced at Tingbao, whose body was crackling with yellow electricity.

A glance at Tingbao caused crackling yellow arcs of electricity to appear on its body…

After repeating this five times, Michaela frowned and asked,

“Did I do anything to the Thunder Dragon yesterday?”

Qiao Sang, feeling rather guilty, awkwardly changed the subject, “Teacher, these past few days I’ve been helping Xia Lala train, and I’ve noticed that its battle form can only last for a maximum of five minutes. Is this normal?”

Mentioning Xia Lala, Michaela immediately forgot about Tingbao and earnestly explained, “Some pets, even when they transform and do nothing, will accelerate the consumption of their internal energy, only maintaining the transformed form for a short time. Battle form is one of the most energy-consuming forms, especially for low-level pets.”

“However, as the pet’s level increases, the energy consumed to maintain battle form becomes negligible.”

I guessed that was true… Qiao Sang feigned understanding, saying, “I see.”

“Xia Xia…”

Sharara lowered its head and meowed, indicating that it was all its fault for being too low-level, otherwise it could train for longer…

“You don’t need to compete, so a shorter training time won’t matter,” Qiao Sang comforted it.

Sharara was still a little unhappy. It liked the feeling of Qiao Sang training with it, but unfortunately, the time was too short…

Why did Sharara suddenly love training…? Michaela couldn’t understand it.

“If you like training, you can actually train in your normal form too,” Qiao Sang said. “If you’re not afraid of hard work, you can drink energy recovery fluid to quickly restore your energy for training.”

“Shasha!”

Sharara’s eyes lit up, and it quickly meowed, indicating that it wasn’t afraid of hard work.

Really, if only its future contracted pet could be like Sharara… Qiao Sang couldn’t help but think. (End of Chapter)
