Beast Taming: Starting From Zero - Chapter 1501

Chapter 1495 Dominant Aura (Part 2)

“Finished absorbing?” Jo Sang couldn’t help but exclaim, “So fast?”

Michaela and Ya Bao both looked over.

Although Jo Sang spoke aloud, her words reflected her inner thoughts. Steel Bao responded in her mind,

“Steel Power.”

It wanted to absorb more, but the energy pool was empty.

“Okay, I’ll come get you now,” Jo Sang said in her mind.

Although Steel Bao could be summoned back directly, she had been visiting it at the Toxic-Free Manor from time to time. The uncles there had treated it to good food and drinks and had even given them free soaks in the detoxifying hot springs several times. Since it was time to leave, she had to say goodbye in person.

“Steel Power,”

Steel Bao called out in her mind, indicating that it should come get it after it finished eating. The working pets here were also going to take it to eat.

Fortunately, the thought flashed through Jo Sang’s mind, but she quickly suppressed it and said righteously in her mind,

“No, this is the first day after you finished absorbing the energy pool. I have to come get you first.”

“Steel Power,”

Steel Bao called out calmly in her mind, indicating that it heard what she was thinking.

Qiao Sang: “.”

Qiao Sang chuckled in her mind, “Then I’ll go after I finish eating. Little Xunbao and the others are already eating.”

Gangbao didn’t respond.

Qiao Sang pulled out a chair and sat down. Before she could speak, Mikaela asked,

“Has Gangbao finished absorbing the energy?”

Qiao Sang happily hummed in agreement, sighing, “I thought it would take almost a month, but I didn’t expect Gangbao to absorb it so quickly.”

“Xunxun.”

Little Xunbao stopped eating her energy meal and fell into deep thought.

“Once the fourth one has absorbed all the energy, he’ll definitely leave Yuan Kingdom. Will I have to start building my fanbase all over again?”

Michaela laughed.

“Generally, for perfectly evolved pets with high potential, energy absorption is faster than other pets of the same level. Steel Treasure’s energy absorption speed is about what I expected.”

Qiao Sang thought of something and said, “I wonder how long Steel Treasure can maintain its Emperor-level form after becoming a late-stage Emperor-level pet.”

Michaela took a sip of milk and said, “It should be about five seconds. There have been examples of late-stage Emperor-level pets temporarily evolving to Emperor-level before, and it took about that long.”

She paused and added, “Actually, if it’s just a temporary evolution, there’s no difference between one second and five seconds of Emperor-level. Even if you defeat your opponent, it’s like Steel Treasure’s first temporary evolution to Emperor-level in a match, ending the battle with overwhelming force. More intense battles are still impossible.”

“Unless absolutely necessary, there’s no need to temporarily evolve to Emperor level, because even if you defeat your opponent, you’ll be unable to continue fighting due to energy depletion.”

I asked not to check the battle time, but to see if I could finish reading the information in the Beast Taming Manual after Steel Treasure’s temporary evolution. Five seconds should be enough for me, given my reading speed. Qiao Sang pondered for a moment, then nodded slightly:

“I understand.”

“Qingqing?”

Qingbao, seeing that Little Xunbao wasn’t eating with its usual hearty appetite, called out in confusion, indicating what was wrong.

“Xunxun.”

Little Xunbao sighed and called out, indicating that its fourth brother had finished absorbing energy and would definitely have to leave Yuan Kingdom. It felt like it would have to start building its fanbase all over again.

Qingbao was stunned at first, then its eyes suddenly lit up as it looked at its Beast Tamer and eagerly called out:

“Qingqing?”

Are we leaving Yuan Kingdom?

To be honest, it had wanted to leave this country for a long time; it hated the toxic air everywhere.

Xia Lala looked at Qiao Sang, her eyes also full of anticipation.

Qiao Sang hummed in agreement, saying,

“Yes, once we get Gangbao back, we should probably leave too.”

“Xunxun,”

Little Xunbao sighed again.

It only knew…

“Qingqing!”

Completely opposite to Little Xunbao, Qingbao immediately called out happily.

At the same time, a cheerful breeze blew around them.

Xia Lala said nothing, only her eyes curved into a smile, and the fragrance emanating from the flower bud on her neck intensified.

“Ya Ya?”

Ya Bao called out curiously, indicating where they were going next.

Qiao Sang thought for a moment and said, “It should be the Ice Kingdom.”

She hadn’t forgotten to find the Ice Glass Fruit for Lu Bao.

After speaking, Qiao Sang looked at Michaela and asked,

“Teacher, can we teleport directly to the Ice Kingdom?”

Michaela elegantly cut her steak while replying, “Yes.”

She glanced at Ya Bao after saying only two words, then added, “However, the Ice Kingdom has very strict regulations on fire-type pets. Almost all foreign fire-type pets are questioned and inspected before being allowed to pass.”

“Ya Ya!”

Ya Bao cried out in dissatisfaction, indicating how troublesome this country was.

Qiao Sang asked, “Do even contracted fire-type pets need to be questioned and inspected?”

Since learning that Lu Bao’s resources might be obtained from the Ice Kingdom, she had done some research on the country, but only a cursory glance, knowing little about it.

The Ice Kingdom, a country governed by ice-type pets, is known as one of the three coldest countries on Tianyuan Star, with year-round temperatures around -50 degrees Celsius, even in summer around -20 degrees Celsius. Many rare ice-type pets reside there.

Because of the abundance of ice-type pets and the consistently low temperatures, this country has a highly developed ice sculpture industry, boasting many world-renowned ice sculptors. It’s said that many buildings are constructed entirely of ice, and people and pets can live inside.

Once, a fire-type pet came to visit and clashed with a stranger, spitting fire and destroying a famous ice sculpture. As a result, fire-type pets were blacklisted by the Ice Kingdom for a time, but were later removed. However, since then, fire-type pets wishing to enter the Ice Kingdom again face strict scrutiny. Those that inexplicably emit

fire are not allowed entry, as are those with volatile tempers, and those who have previously visited the Ice Kingdom but damaged ice sculptures are also prohibited from entering. Qiao Sang recalled the information he had seen.

Michaela took a bite of his steak and said, “The contract with a fire-type pet depends on the Beastmaster’s level. Beastmasters of rank C and above don’t need to be questioned separately about fire-type pets, but both the Beastmaster and the pet will be questioned simultaneously. It’s a simple inquiry, and most will pass.”

Upon hearing this, Qiao Sang smiled and said, “That’s good.”

“Ya Ya,”

Ya Bao still complained, indicating why they only cared about fire-type pets.

“It seems there used to be fire-type pets in the Ice Kingdom,” Qiao Sang explained, recounting what she knew.

“Ya Ya,”

Ya Bao said with an “I see” expression.

“Ting Ting?”

Ting Bao called out, wondering if Ya Bao could battle and train there since that country feared fire-type pets’ flames would damage the ice sculptures.

Ya Bao quickly looked nervously at her beast tamer.

Qiao Sang looked at Michaela, translated Tingbao’s question, and asked it again.

Why did their Beastmaster always ask this annoying human? Tingbao looked at Michaela with some annoyance, thinking that their Beastmaster should learn more.

Michaela said, “Battles and training are allowed, but only in designated areas.”

“Ya Ya.”

Ya Bao breathed a sigh of relief.

Battles and training were good.

Half an hour later, Qiao Sang picked up Gang Bao from the Toxic-Free Manor.

“Xun Xun?”

Little Xun Bao circled Gang Bao, calling out curiously, indicating, “Fourth brother, are you really at the late-stage Royal level?”

“Gang Quan.”

Gang Bao called out seriously, indicating that a test was needed to find out.

“Xun Xun~”

Upon hearing this, Little Xun Bao immediately took off its ring, wanting to pull out an energy detector.

Qiao Sang immediately understood what Little Treasure Hunt was going to do and said,

“You don’t need to take the energy detector. Penjame has already gone to pick up the breeder you met last time named Serie.”

“Xunxun~”

Little Treasure Hunt put the ring back on.

Not long after, Penjame appeared out of thin air with Serie.

Serie’s gaze locked onto Steel Treasure with precision, his eyes suddenly lit up, and he went straight over, carefully examining it for a moment before excitedly saying,

“Steel Emperor is really much more handsome than I saw on TV.”

Steel Treasure’s expression remained unchanged, calmly accepting the praise.

“Teacher, Steel Treasure just came out of the energy pool, could you please check it?” Qiao Sang went straight to the point.

Michaela sat on the sofa and added, “If the energy reaches the late Emperor level, you can adjust the formula of the energy pill and make a new one.”

“Understood.” Serie said.

After saying that, he thought of something, looked at Qiao Sang, and asked with a slightly excited expression, “After the check, could you let Steel Emperor evolve temporarily for me to see?”

“Of course.” Qiao Sang smiled.

She had already planned to give Steelball a temporary evolution.

“Great!” Seree exclaimed excitedly.

She then quickly turned on the device and began checking Steelball.

About half an hour later, Serai finished his inspection, put down the equipment, and said,

“The absorption in the energy pool was very successful this time. Steel Power Emperor has indeed reached the late stage of Emperor level. Next, I will improve the energy-enhancing effect of the energy pills. They should be ready in about half a month.”

He then asked,

“Besides energy pills, what else does Steel Power Emperor eat?”

Qiao Sang replied, “Just some energy meals and flying-type berries.”

Serai pondered for a moment and asked, “Little Steel Falcon’s species is accustomed to eating ores. Have you been feeding it any?”

Qiao Sang patiently answered, “I used to feed it those, but after the school teachers formulated special energy pills, I haven’t been feeding it much.”

Serai said,

“Even if a new form appears in a pet of the same species, as long as the attributes haven’t fundamentally changed, the food habits won’t change much. You can continue to give it some hard ores; I think Steel Power Emperor will like them.”

“Steel Power,”

Steel Treasure recalled the taste of the ores it had eaten before and called out in its mind, indicating that this breeder was good.

“If you had told me earlier that you liked ores, I would have bought them for you already,” Qiao Sang thought to himself, but asked on the surface, “Do you have any recommendations for kinds of ores?”

Steel Treasure’s current form was completely unrecorded, let alone any suitable ores for it to eat.

Sai Rui thought for a moment and said,

“Just find it hard ores to eat.”

Hard ores… What hard ores are there on Tianyuan Star?

Just as Qiao Sang was pondering, Sai Rui said expectantly,

“Steel Emperor has finished his examination. Can we find a place for it to temporarily evolve now?”

Qiao Sang collected his thoughts and nodded,

“Of course.”

Half a minute later, at the open-air training ground.

Qiao Sang nodded slightly to Steel Treasure.

Steel Treasure glanced at its Beastmaster, and the next second, an exceptionally bright white light shone from its body, and its size slowly increased.

Sai Rui was excited, and then, remembering something, quickly took out his phone, turned on the camera function, and recorded a video.

When its size within the white light approached 100 meters, Qiao Sang’s consciousness quickly entered the Beast Taming Codex and turned to the page about Steel Treasure.

At this point, the data above has changed drastically.
