Beast Taming: Starting From Zero - Chapter 1438

Chapter 1438. Chapter 1433 Copper Coin Divination (Two Chapters Combined)

“Tongtong?”

A pet beast, mostly bronze in color and resembling a copper coin, called out.

“Let’s begin,” said Leifeld. “

Tongtong,”

the copper coin-shaped pet beast called out, and then six small copper coins appeared out of thin air around it, spinning rapidly.

…

Backstage.

“Ya Ya!”

“Bing Sheng.”

“Gang Quan.”

“Qing Qing…”

“Ting Ting…”

After Xiao Xunbao finished telling its story of what it did in its dream, Ya Bao and the others praised, sighed, and admired it.

“Xun Xun~”

Xiao Xunbao enjoyed the feeling of being surrounded by everyone, holding its head high and chest out, clearly very proud, but waving its paws, showing an attitude of “it’s all nothing.”

“Don’t be modest, if it weren’t for the fact that the dream you created didn’t let the Echo Spirit Master see through it and wake it up, the outcome of this match would really be hard to say,” Qiao Sang laughed.

Originally, her plan was for Little Treasure to cast the Curse of Fate and the Curse of Misfortune on the Echo Spirit Lord. If Little Treasure actually fell to the opponent’s sound-based attacks, it might be able to replicate the previous situation, borrowing its life force directly onto the Echo Spirit Lord, thus turning the tide of battle.

Unexpectedly, before the curses even took effect, Little Treasure defeated the Echo Spirit Lord with a skill combination it hadn’t practiced much.

To be honest, she had considered that the Echo Spirit Lord might not wake up from its sleep, but the ease with which it did it still surprised her.

“Xunxun~”

“Xunxun…”

Little Treasure proudly puffed out its chest and began to chatter incessantly, indicating that it had also studied how to create dreams. It had watched many movies and TV series about dreams, and to prevent the target from realizing it was in a dream, it was best to directly create a dream that depicted the scene before the target fell asleep…

Just as it was getting into its story, there was a sudden “knock knock” on the door.

Little Treasure stopped.

A gust of wind blew in from nowhere, opening the door.

Serana walked in, smiling, and said, “I just finished an interview. It’s good you’re still here.”

Her smile was much warmer than before.

Josang suddenly remembered something and looked at Little Treasure Hunter, saying, “Quick, get the megaphones out.”

“Xunxun~”

Little Treasure Hunter took off the ring, pulled out two megaphones he’d snatched during the competition, and handed them over.

Without the Echoing Spirit Master’s help to shrink them, the two megaphones were ridiculously large.

However, Serana accepted them easily.

Looking at the other woman’s appearance, Qiao Sang’s first thought was: now seems like the perfect opportunity to build a good relationship with her…

Her second thought followed: Serana lost both matches in the round-robin tournament, so she seemed to have a better chance of winning the championship…

Thinking this, Qiao Sang paused for a moment before asking, “Is Princess Xue Lei alright?”

Serana smiled and said, “She’s fine. Because one of the contestants has a Bonefire King, the healing team has a healer who can heal souls. She’s already treating her; it just needs three days to fully recover. This is a very good result.”

After speaking, she looked deeply at Qiao Sang and said gratefully,

“I have to thank you. If it weren’t for you, Princess Xue Lei might have really suffered some kind of lingering problem.”

“There’s nothing to thank me for. After all, it was Ya Bao who caused it,” Qiao Sang said.

Ya Bao blinked beside her.

“No, for you, this might just be a word, but for me and Princess Xue Lei, it could affect our entire lives,” Serana said earnestly.

Qiao Sang felt a little embarrassed.

Before she could speak, Serana suddenly asked, “Do you know anything about Leifeld?”

Josang hesitated for a moment, then answered honestly, “I’ve collected information on him and done some research. I should have some understanding of his combat abilities.”

“Have you noticed that in the interstellar competitions he’s participated in over the past decade, the pets he sends out in every match are exactly the type that counters his opponent’s?” Serana asked again.

Josang was taken aback again: “I really haven’t noticed.”

After saying that, she recalled the interstellar competitions Leifeld had participated in and realized it was true.

Serana continued, “Do you know of a pet called Copper Coin Bubu?”

Josang nodded slightly: “Yes, it’s a pet only found on the Blue Star of Flame Sky. It’s very good at divination.”

Copper Coin Bubu is a super-powered royal-level pet, unique to the Blue Star of Flame Sky. This species is extremely rare and is rarely seen.

Serana said, “Leifide has a copper coin divination stick by his side, probably hired by him. It divines every time there’s a star-level match, calculating the most advantageous lineup for each game with almost 100% success. If you’re playing against him tomorrow, you’d better be prepared for your lineup to be countered in every game.”

Calculating the most advantageous lineup for each game… Josang was silent for a moment, then asked, “Why are you telling me this?”

“Because I want you to win,” Serana said seriously.

Josang looked at her.

“You’re the only opponent who has shut out me in recent years, and I don’t want you to lose to other players of the same level,” Serana said with a smile.

Josang couldn’t help but laugh after hearing this: “I’ll try my best to win.”

Serana smiled and said, “If you ever come to Tianyuan Star again, feel free to come find me anytime.”

“Okay,” Josang nodded.

…

Five minutes later.

VIP room.

Josang and Ya Bao appeared out of thin air.

“Xia Xia!”

Xia Lala immediately floated over excitedly.

Josang hugged it.

“Xiaxia!”

“Xiaxia!”

Xia Lala excitedly shared her thoughts after watching the match, praising Ya Bao and the others one by one.

“Ya Ya!”

“Xun Xun~”

Ya Bao and Xiao Xun Bao tilted their heads higher and higher as they were praised.

“Bing Sheng.”

“Gang Quan.”

Lu Bao and Gang Bao remained much calmer, merely offering slight smiles.

“Xia Xia!”

After praising Ya Bao and the others one by one, Xia Lala looked up at Qiao Sang, calling out with adoration.

Its eyes sparkled, as if it could only see her.

Qiao Sang patted Xia Lala’s head and chuckled, “Why do I feel like you’re getting more and more engrossed in watching the game?”

Before Xia Lala could answer, Mikaela, standing nearby, laughed and said, “Engrossed? It’s more than just engrossed! It’s practically a fan of yours now. Every time you appear, it waves its cheering stick and shouts non-stop until the game ends. If it hadn’t drunk some water in between, its voice would probably be hoarse.”

Qiao Sang looked down at Xia Lala with surprise.

“Xiaxia…”

Xia Lala looked embarrassed, her face even turning red.

Qiao Sang’s heart skipped a beat at her cuteness. Just

as she was about to speak, Michaela continued with a smile, “Your performance in this competition was much better than I expected. The headmistress just contacted me, saying that if you win the championship, the reward scheme can be changed. If the item you want isn’t in the points redemption section, you can ask, and she’ll get it for you.”

Qiao Sang’s eyes lit up instantly, and she eagerly asked, “If I want a legendary beast egg, can the headmistress get it for me too?”

The moment Teacher Michaela said this, she immediately thought of a grass-type legendary beast.

Michaela smiled at her, “What do you think? The headmistress herself doesn’t have a contracted legendary beast.”

Then, as if remembering something, she glanced in Qingbao’s direction.

That’s true, mythical beasts aren’t so easy to get… Items related to mythical beasts in the points exchange section cost close to or over a million points. If there really were mythical beast pet eggs, they’d probably cost at least ten million points… No, they probably wouldn’t even appear in the points exchange section… Qiao Sang felt a moment of disappointment, but then thought it made sense, and quickly perked up, saying seriously,

“I’ll try to win the championship.”

Michaela smiled and said, “Don’t put too much pressure on yourself. You’ve already exceeded everyone’s expectations to get this far.”

Then, she changed the subject, saying, “However, the main reason you were able to compete so smoothly today was because Sera didn’t know about Ya Bao and the others’ trump cards. But today she forced you to reveal your trump cards, so tomorrow’s battle against Lefebvre won’t be so smooth.”

“There’s one more thing,” Michaela said in a deep voice, “Leifide has a pet beast called Copper Coin Bubbles…”

Before she could finish, Josang interrupted, “I know, Sera just told me.”

Michaela was taken aback for a moment, then smiled, “It seems she wants you to win.”

After saying this, her voice turned serious again: “This pet beast’s divination is a bit special. Even if you haven’t decided which pet beast to send out to fight a second before the match, according to its divination results, the summoned pet beast will still be countered.”

“The divination ability is quite strong,” Josang smiled, “But there’s also an advantage to this, isn’t there?”

Michaela was stunned for a moment: “What advantage?”

“Since the opponent can send out a pet beast lineup that absolutely counters me, then conversely, I also know which pet beast he will definitely send out in each match. This way, I can conduct specialized training,” Josang said.

Upon hearing this, Michaela immediately praised, “It’s very good that you thought of this, but your opponent will also train specifically to counter you in every round, so you must be extremely cautious.”

*Teacher, you just told me not to put too much pressure on myself…* Qiao Sang couldn’t help but mentally complain, but outwardly replied seriously, “I understand.”

Michaela suddenly remembered something and asked,

“By the way, what exactly did Little Treasure Hunt do to the Echo Spirit Master in his dream during the last round?”

“Xunxun~” Little Treasure Hunt perked up immediately, floating forward, ready to launch into a long explanation.

At this moment, Qiao Sang said, “Let me explain; I won’t understand what you’re saying.”

“Xunxun…” Little Treasure Hunt gave a “okay then” look.

“It’s like this, Little Treasure Hunt created a dream…” Qiao Sang repeated what Little Treasure Hunt had said earlier.

“Xunxun~”

“Xunxun~”

Little Treasure Hunt nodded occasionally, showing a satisfied “that’s it” expression.

“Momo.” Halfway through, the Dragon King couldn’t help but exclaim, indicating that this little one was quite something.

“Xunxun~”

Little Xunbao subconsciously showed an “of course” expression, then realized what it meant and looked at the Dragon King with dissatisfaction.

“Xunxun~”

Who is this little one?

“Momo.” The Dragon King called out without hesitation, indicating that it was of course you.

“Xunxun…”

Little Xunbao pouted, wanting to argue.

“Qingqing.”

Suddenly, Qingbao called out, indicating that it didn’t matter that you were small, since you always beat tall people anyway.

After saying that, it glanced at the Dragon King subtly.

“Momo.”

The Dragon King didn’t notice Qingbao’s gaze and nodded in agreement.

“Xunxun~”

Little Xunbao looked at Qingbao with a touched expression, not expecting it to say such a thing.

On the other side, Qiao Sang had already finished repeating what Little Xunbao had said.

After listening, Michaela exclaimed, “I didn’t expect Little Treasure Hunter to have such a talent for dream manipulation.”

For hypnotic skills, besides skill proficiency, mental strength and the content of the dream are also crucial. Only by making the target unaware that they are in a dream can one possibly put the opponent to sleep until the end of the match.

Josang said, “Now that Tooth Treasure and the others have revealed most of their trump cards, I plan to have Little Treasure Hunter conduct further in-depth research on dreams. Perhaps this will have a miraculous effect in tomorrow’s match.”

“You already used that trick today,” Michaela said calmly. “As long as we interview Serana, we can find out what the Lord of the Underworld did in his dream. You can have Little Treasure Hunter train, but don’t use it as a trump card.”

Josang pondered for two seconds and said, “Serana probably won’t tell us what Little Treasure Hunter did in the Echo Lord’s dream.”

Michaela looked at her: “Why?”

“Because she wants me to win,” Josang said.

…

At 7:30 pm, after dinner, Steel Treasure lay down on the sofa.

“Let’s begin,” Josang said, looking at Little Treasure Hunter beside her.

Of all her pets, Steel Treasure might not be the smartest, but it was definitely the most alert…

Just as she thought this, Steel Treasure on the sofa suddenly turned its head and looked at her.

Qiao Sang instantly snapped out of her thoughts, coughed, looked at Little Seeker, and urged, “Hurry up and start.”

“Seeker~”

Little Seeker’s eyes glowed purple as it looked at Steel Treasure.

Steel Treasure didn’t flinch and soon fell into a deep sleep.

Little Seeker floated toward Steel Treasure’s head, disappeared into it, and vanished.

Qiao Sang continued her previous thoughts: as long as Little Seeker’s dream could fool Steel Treasure, the combination of hypnosis, dream-eating, and nightmare techniques could definitely be used tomorrow…

Michaela, drinking coffee nearby, did not stop her.

After discussing this topic with Qiao Sang, she watched a news interview about Serana. The interviewee hadn’t mentioned the dream content, so it was indeed necessary to practice.

In a flash of thought, Steel Treasure suddenly opened its eyes on the sofa.

“Xunxun…”

Immediately afterward, Little Xunbao floated out of Steel Treasure’s mind.

“What happened? Why did it wake up so quickly?” Qiao Sang couldn’t help but ask.

“Xunxun…”

Little Xunbao looked frustrated and called out, indicating that it didn’t know how Steel Treasure had broken out of the dream so quickly. The dream it created was perfectly fine…

“Steel Power.”

“Steel Power.”

Steel Treasure called out calmly twice, indicating that it was still in the same scene in the dream, but as soon as it saw its Beastmaster, it knew it was a dream. Later, Little Xunbao changed the dream, making it mistakenly believe it had woken up, but when it saw its Beastmaster, it still immediately knew it was a dream.

Qiao Sang was stunned for a moment after hearing this, and then suddenly understood.

It was the power of bonds… (End of Chapter)
