Beast Taming: Starting From Zero - Chapter 1409

Chapter 1404 I knew you could do it! (Two chapters combined)

As Xiao Xunbao brushed his teeth, his eyes glowed blue, and the three of them, along with their pets, vanished from their spot, leaving behind a desolate open space.

It seemed this was where Qiao Sang usually trained… Sera subconsciously glanced around.

As a professional beast tamer with no connections, aside from fighting for the beast taming club, she had to gather information on all her opponents herself. Qiao Sang, with almost no match videos and an S-rank beast tamer accompanying her, had the least information available.

To her shame, even though the competition had been going on for quite some time, this was the first time she’d known where Qiao Sang was training…

Just then, Qiao Sang said,

“Let’s begin. The task is to attack Tingbao with 10 Million Volts.”

“Tingting.”

Tingbao showed a serious expression, indicating it was ready.

The Thunder Reverse Dragon was indeed evolving… Sera collected her thoughts, said “Okay,” and formed hand seals.

A deep, mysterious purple star array lit up.

A short while later, a pet beast about fifteen meters tall, mostly yellow with purple stripes, standing on two legs, and with two tentacles on its head appeared in the star array.

“Touch-touch,” the two-tentacle pet beast called out.

This was a Thunder Beast, a King-level Electric-type pet beast. It stored electrical energy through its tentacles and could regenerate power while sleeping. It disliked being without any Electric energy, as this made it feel insecure and irritable… Qiao Sang looked at the pet beast before him, recalling relevant information in his mind.

“Use Ten Million Volts on Thunder Reverse Dragon,” Serana gestured towards Ting Bao.

“Touch-touch,”

the Thunder Beast nodded, looking at Ting Bao.

Qiao Sang, Michaela, and Ya Bao quickly moved aside, making room.

Serana, a beat slower, stepped aside.

“Ting Ting,”

Ting Bao said seriously, his body slightly tense.

Without a word, terrifying lightning bolts surged from the Thunder Beast’s body.

Meanwhile, Qiao Sang’s consciousness entered the Beast Taming Codex, quickly flipping to the page about Tingbao, rapidly adding the points after its level, and upgrading the Electric Net to the Profound level.

Although the Electric Net was only a mid-tier skill, among all of Tingbao’s skills that hadn’t reached the Profound level, it was the closest to the Profound level.

After doing all this, Qiao Sang’s consciousness returned to reality.

With a “bang,” an incomparably arrogant and terrifying lightning bolt struck Tingbao hard.

Dazzling lightning energy suddenly shone brightly.

The surrounding ground instantly shattered, countless fragments flew, and the energy of the arc of electricity formed lightning patterns along the ground, spreading in all directions.

Little Xunbao, while brushing its teeth, quickly retreated.

“Tingting!”

Tingbao, at the center of the lightning power, let out a miserable cry.

When the lightning power dissipated, Tingbao, charred black all over, collapsed on the ground, its eyes glazed over.

It failed… Qiao Sang wasn’t particularly surprised by this.

If Tingbao could so easily withstand ten million volts, the number of Little Thunder Dragons wouldn’t have decreased so drastically at the General level.

Qiao Sang looked at Lu Bao.

Before she could speak, the gem on Lu Bao’s forehead emitted a faint blue light, illuminating Tingbao.

“Shall we continue?” Serana asked.

“Continue,” Qiao Sang replied.

Then, as if remembering something, she added, “It might take some time for Tingbao to evolve successfully. If we fail today, could you have Thunder Beast come to my place for an hour every day? I can double the reward.”

“As long as the reward is right, everything is negotiable,” Serana smiled.

Although they were rivals and still in the competition, to be honest, King-level pets didn’t play a crucial role in battles, so losing an hour or two of training time wouldn’t matter.

Even if Thunder Dragon evolved successfully with Thunder Beast’s help, she wouldn’t feel any pressure.

During the conversation, Tingbao’s injuries completely healed.

It stood up again, looked at Thunder Beast, and with a serious expression, called out:

“Tingting!”

Again!

Without a word, the Thunder Beast unleashed a torrent of terrifying lightning bolts, which converged and struck down!

“Thunder!”

Thunder Beast cried out in agony amidst the terrifying lightning.

The lightning dissipated, and Thunder Beast’s eyes closed; it had fainted.

Before its Beastmaster could even signal, the gem on Lu Bao’s forehead emitted a ghostly blue light, illuminating its body.

Soon, Thunder Beast was fully healed.

The Thunder Beast unleashed another torrent of terrifying lightning, which then blasted towards the Thunder Beast.

Thunder Beast fainted.

Lu Bao healed it.

The Thunder Beast unleashed another torrent of terrifying lightning…

This repeated several times until Little Xunbao finally couldn’t bear it any longer. It floated to its Beastmaster’s side, put down its toothbrush, and called out,

“Xunxun~”

Maybe we should let the sixth one get struck again next time; it felt like it had been struck for ages this time…

“Ya Ya!”

Ya Bao cried out from the side, indicating that this wouldn’t do! Evolution must be persevered to the end! It must be struck until it can evolve!

“Xunxun…”

Little Xunbao hesitated.

But…

“Let’s try three more times.” Qiao Sang checked the time on her phone and said, “If you can’t handle it after three times, we’ll continue tomorrow.”

“Xunxun~”

Little Xunbao nodded repeatedly, silently relieved for Tingbao.

“Ya Ya.”

Ya Bao disagreed. It called out, indicating that it thought they should continue. Tingbao had persisted for so long, and it must want to keep going until it evolves.

“Xunxun~”

Little Xunbao called out, indicating that the sixth brother must want to rest. If it had been hit for so long, it would definitely need to rest.

“Ya Ya.”

Ya Bao gave it a look of disappointment.

While Ya Bao and Xiao Xunbao were talking, Sera thought to herself that it seemed she could make a considerable amount of money…

This Thunder Reverse Dragon clearly couldn’t withstand ten million volts, but then again, it was just a high-level pet, and it wouldn’t become unreasonably strong just because it was Qiao Sang’s pet.

It was basically impossible for a high-level pet to withstand a super-level skill used by a king-level pet, even if it was only at the beginner level, unless it was equipped with items that could resist the power of lightning.

And this Thunder Reverse Dragon had nothing on it, clearly trying to withstand it with its physical strength.

With pure physical strength, let alone three times, even thirty strikes might not be enough for it to evolve…

Michaela looked at the scene before her and said,

“This won’t work.”

“As long as it strikes enough times, and Thunder Bao gradually gets used to it…” At this point, Qiao Sang suddenly thought of something and turned sharply to look at Teacher Michaela.

A sense of foreboding rose in Michaela’s heart.

“Why are you looking at me?” she asked.

“Teacher, you’re right. Tingbao can’t go on like this,” Josang said seriously. “But just now, I thought of a way to stimulate Tingbao.”

Michaela’s lips twitched slightly. She didn’t ask any further questions. Hearing the word “stimulate,” she knew what was coming next wasn’t what she wanted to hear.

Josang continued,

“Teacher, say something to stimulate Tingbao, like when Tingbao was learning about thunder and lightning last time.”

Were they talking about some method to motivate pets…? While Sera outwardly watched Lu Bao help treat Tingbao, she was secretly listening intently.

This was an S-rank beast tamer’s training method; she didn’t want to miss it.

After all, she had never been taught by an S-rank beast tamer before.

“I knew you weren’t thinking anything good…” Michaela remained gentle, saying,

“This situation is different from last time. Without sufficient defense and willpower to withstand the powerful lightning, no amount of talking will help.”

“Teacher, please try,” Qiao Sang persisted, completely unconvinced. “What if it works?”

Michaela looked at her, recalling her performance in the Master Challenge and the Dean’s words, took a deep breath, and said,

“I’ll try once.”

Qiao Sang quickly added,

“Please make it as intense as possible.”

“I know.” Michaela turned to look at Ting Bao.

At this moment, Ting Bao had just finished healing.

“Touch…”

The Thunder Beast gasped for breath, drank a sip of the energy recovery fluid its Beastmaster had just given it, digested it, and terrifying lightning snakes surged from its body once more.

“Ting Ting…”

Ting Bao looked at it, a serious expression on its face, its body tense.

Suddenly, Michaela spoke,

“Qiao Sang, do you regret it? This is why you rejected a group of little dragon contracts, and even evolving into a general-level beast is so difficult.”

Her voice was noticeably louder than before.

Tingbao froze, abruptly turning to look at Michaela.

The mockery and contempt on Michaela’s face were so obvious.

“Bang!!!”

At this moment, terrifying lightning converged into a single beam, slamming into Tingbao’s body.

The blinding lightning exploded, shattering the already damaged ground once more.

Stone fragments flew everywhere.

“Tingting…”

Qiao Sang, do you regret it? This is why you rejected the pet beasts that were supposed to be contracted with a group of little mill dragons, and even evolving into a general-level beast is so difficult… Qiao Sang, do you regret it… do you regret it… even evolving into a general-level beast is so difficult… so difficult… Michaela’s words kept flashing through Tingbao’s mind, his eyes blazing with anger.

Damn it! Damn it! He’s stirring up trouble between him and his beast tamer again!

The anger in his heart was so intense that it actually lessened the physical pain in Tingbao’s body.

“The lightning beast struck too fast, I haven’t finished speaking yet.” At the same time, Michaela said.

“Let’s do it again later.” Qiao Sang said.

Michaela pondered for a moment. Although he had only agreed to try once, he had only just said one sentence and hadn’t even uttered any harsh words yet.

Since he had agreed to try, he naturally had to truly provoke Thunder Reverse Dragon.

Thinking of this, Michaela nodded slightly:

“Okay.”

Serana, who was listening from the side, was stunned. She wondered what kind of new stimulation training method this was? Could it really work? No wonder this senior was unwilling to try it earlier; this method clearly seemed unreliable.

“Wait, have Thunder Beast slow down its Ten Million Volts strike so that the teacher can say a few words first,” Josan said to Serana.

“Okay,” Serana nodded.

Although she felt this method was useless, she only needed to do what the quest giver told her to do.

“Tingting!”

At this moment, Tingbao roared, a sound that was clearly different from its previous screams.

“Ya Ya!”

Ya Bao cried out excitedly, indicating that Tingbao had succeeded!

“Xun Xun!”

Little Xun Bao also became excited and cried out.

The sixth beast finally succeeded! It knew it hadn’t screamed like the previous times when it was struck!

“Qingqing,”

Qingbao appeared, looking admiring, and called out, indicating that the sixth beast was doing well; it had thought it wouldn’t evolve today.

As a pet with inherited memories, it knew all too well how difficult it was to withstand a King-level super-tier skill at the advanced stage.

Lu Bao looked on with a relieved expression.

“Gang Quan…”

Gang Bao’s expression didn’t change, but it internally exclaimed with emotion.

While its own beast tamer wasn’t entirely reliable in some ways, its training skills were truly sharp, knowing that Tingbao would be stimulated by its teacher…

What? It’s already evolved? Qiao Sang suddenly turned her head and saw a dazzling white light shining on Tingbao.

She recognized that light all too well—it was the light of evolution!

Evolved? It evolved just like that? Qiao Sang was completely dumbfounded.

How could it evolve so quickly?

Had Tingbao adapted to the power of millions of volts of lightning, or had Teacher Michaela’s short sentence just now stimulated Tingbao?

Thinking of this, Qiao Sang turned to look at Teacher Michaela.

She saw Michaela staring blankly at the light of evolution emanating from Tingbao, looking even more bewildered than Qiao Sang herself.

Serana was equally stunned, staring blankly at the light of evolution before her, a string of question marks flashing through her mind, her face showing utter disbelief.

So this was how you stimulate a pet?

After her initial shock, Serana reacted, looking at Michaela with admiration.

Was this the power of an S-rank Beastmaster? With just a few simple words, she had managed to stimulate the Thunder Reverse Dragon to withstand the power of a King-rank pet’s super-tier skill!

“Teacher, Tingbao has evolved!” Qiao Sang took a deep breath, her face beaming with excitement.

“I saw it…” Michaela murmured.

“That’s wonderful! I knew you could do it!” Qiao Sang exclaimed excitedly.

Honestly, she was more inclined to believe that it was Teacher Michaela’s words that stimulated Tingbao, allowing it to withstand the power of tens of millions of volts.

After all, Tingbao couldn’t withstand it earlier or later, but it was precisely after Teacher Michaela said those words that it triggered the Light of Evolution, clearly indicating that her words had an effect.

Sure enough, Teacher Michaela could unleash Tingbao’s infinite potential!

Michaela was silent for a few seconds, hesitating before saying,

“Thunder Reverse Dragon is even more susceptible to stimulation than I thought…”

Qiao Sang smiled, “It must be that your words precisely stimulated it.”

Michaela: “…”

She felt like she hadn’t even really started…

As the conversation progressed, the dense white light gradually dissipated.

A pet beast about thirteen meters long, entirely purple and black, with black gems inlaid on its purple scales, a black belly, a strong and powerful tail also inlaid with diamond-shaped black gems, four legs on its lower abdomen, deep red eyes, and lightning-shaped horns on both sides of its head appeared in sight.
