Beast Taming: Starting From Zero - Chapter 1516
Chapter 1516. A Familiar Aura (Part Two)
Jo Sang’s thoughts were in turmoil.
“Te Yi.”
Te Yi Tuoling’s voice pulled her back to reality.
Her pet, mostly golden, helped translate: “You performed very well, I’m very satisfied. Is there anything you want?”
Jo Sang immediately gathered her thoughts, forgetting about the white energy, and desperately tried to signal to Lu Bao: Quickly, say Ice Glass Fruit! Quickly, say Ice Glass Fruit!
“Ice Saint.”
Lu Bao, not receiving its tamer’s signal, calmly called out, indicating it didn’t want anything; you could ask my tamer.
Te Yi Tuoling looked over.
Jo Sang didn’t hesitate at all: “If possible, I want Ice Glass Fruit.”
“Te Yi?”
Te Yi Tuoling gestured in Lu Bao’s direction with its eyes and called out.
The predominantly golden pet also gestured towards Lu Bao with its eyes, helping to translate: “For it?”
“Yes.” After saying that, Qiao Sang quickly added, “It’s for Lu Bao. It’s currently at the early stage of the Royal level, and only materials like Ice Glass Fruit can quickly increase its energy.”
Ice Glass Fruit is a rare ice-type material, but it’s nothing to a divine beast like Te Yi Tuo Ling. It seems to have a good impression of Lu Bao now, and considering that Lu Bao allows it to absorb white energy, perhaps the other party will give it a few more Ice Glass Fruits when it hears the words “early stage of the Royal level.”
“Te Yi.”
Te Yi Tuo Ling called out, indicating that it understood.
“Te Yi?”
After saying that, it called out again.
I really enjoyed your performance. Would you be interested in staying as a coordinator?
The predominantly golden pet helped translate.
Upon hearing this, Qiao Sang’s previous joy vanished instantly, and her heart sank.
The mythical beast impersonating the number one beast, the strange kingdom unable to contact the outside world, the masses developing beast-taming coordination skills, and the special spirit that can absorb white energy while watching skill demonstrations—all these things indicate that this country is not simple.
Let alone having little interest in becoming a coordinator, even if her goal was to become a master coordinator, she wouldn’t stay here.
However, the special spirit values coordinators highly, and if she openly said she had no interest, it might displease it. Thinking of this, Qiao Sang said,
“My goal has always been to participate in the Interstellar Cup.”
She then showed an embarrassed expression and said tactfully, “Besides, I don’t have any talent for being a coordinator. You saw it yourself; Little Treasure and the others’ performances show they have absolutely no talent in this area.”
“Xunxun!”
Little Treasure shouted from inside the barrier.
It hadn’t even performed yet!
“Qingqing!”
Qingbao shouted in unison beside it.
It hadn’t even officially started!
However, the sounds didn’t carry outside the barrier.
Teytoling looked at Lu Bao and calmly called out,
“Teytoling.”
The predominantly golden pet translated, “I think your Lu Bao has a real talent for coordination competitions.”
Qiao Sang feigned a wry smile, “What’s the use of having only one pet with coordination talent if you want to be a coordinator?”
“Teytoling,”
Teytoling called out, tapping the throne lightly with its paw, indicating that Lu Bao could stay behind alone.
Qiao Sang: “!!!”
These words exploded in Qiao Sang’s ears like a thunderclap. She felt her heart skip a beat, an overwhelming surge of anxiety and panic washing over her.
If someone else had said this, she might have thought it was a joke, but it was Teytoling, who had just absorbed white energy from Lu Bao, who spoke.
The higher a pet’s level, the harder it is to increase its energy, just like the human brain. Reaching the god level, even the slightest improvement becomes incredibly difficult. She couldn’t tell if Teytoling was joking or genuinely wanted Lu Bao to stay.
In a flash of thought, Lu Bao calmly called out,
“Ice Saint.”
It wouldn’t stay.
Teyi Torling glanced at it and sighed,
“Teyi.”
That’s a real pity.
The predominantly golden pet helped translate.
Qiao Sang didn’t breathe a sigh of relief.
“Teyi,”
Teyi Torling called again, implying that Qiao Sang should perform for it until it left the Kingdom of Qi, and it would give him what he wanted.
Qiao Sang respectfully replied, “It would be my honor, but how do I get here?”
“Teyi,”
Teyi Torling called out calmly, indicating that it wasn’t asking Qiao Sang to come, but rather referring to Lu Bao. Qiao Sang wasn’t a coordinator, so its presence wouldn’t be of any use.
The predominantly golden pet helped translate.
Qiao Sang suppressed the urge to twitch and said respectfully, “I am its Beastmaster. With me here, Lu Bao’s skill display will be smoother.”
Lu Bao glanced at its Beastmaster but didn’t object.
“Teyi,”
Teyi Torling called out, tapping its paw lightly on the throne, implying that Qiao Sang should come along. It told Qiao Sang to keep the Golden Bell with it; it would bring Qiao Sang here.
Having said that, without waiting for the predominantly golden pet to translate, it swung its blue-glowing claws forward.
Qiao Sang and Ya Bao, along with the golden spherical object on the ground, vanished from the hall.
The hall fell silent; even with the warm lighting, the atmosphere suddenly became eerie.
“Death?”
The predominantly golden pet turned to Te Yi Tuo Ling on the throne and respectfully called out, indicating why they hadn’t simply let the other pet stay.
“Te Yi.”
Te Yi Tuo Ling called out calmly, indicating it smelled a familiar aura on the human.
“Death?”
The predominantly golden pet was stunned.
What aura?
“Te Yi.”
Te Yi Tuo Ling called out expressionlessly.
It was the aura of the tenth seat.
The predominantly golden pet showed a look of astonishment.
“Te Yi.”
Te Yituo Ling tapped the throne lightly and called out.
She first gave an Ice Glass Fruit to the pet named Lu Bao.
“Die, die.”
The pet, mostly golden in color, regained its respectful expression and nodded.
Hotel room.
Qiao Sang and Ya Bao appeared out of thin air.
Little Xun Bao observed its surroundings, and seeing that it had returned, it showed an angry expression and called out:
“Xun Xun!”
That first seat is so blind!
“Qing Qing!”
Qing Bao nodded in agreement from the side.
“Ya Ya?”
Ya Bao looked puzzled.
“First Seat?
” “Tingting, Tingting,” Tingbao explained twice from the side.
“Ya Ya,”
Ya Bao listened, showing an “Oh, I see” expression.
It explained why it woke up in a strange place.
Qiao Sang looked around at the surroundings, breathed a sigh of relief, but then her mood quietly turned heavy.
The situation in Qi Kingdom was too strange. So many coordinators in Qi Kingdom were competing for the “First Seat” summons, and Te Yituo Ling could gain white energy from watching a wonderful performance. Perhaps so many coordinators were specially trained by Qi Kingdom to provide white energy for Te Yituo Ling.
Such a strange place, she had to leave as soon as possible.
“Gang Quan?”
Gang Bao called out, indicating what to do now.
“Xun Xun?”
Little Xun Bao floated over.
What to do?
“Bing Sheng?”
Lu Bao called out, indicating whether it should go train its coordination skills now?
Qiao Sang: “.”
“No,” Qiao Sang was about to speak.
Suddenly, a rift tore open in space, and a paw adorned with a gemstone ring emerged, opening to reveal a crystal-clear, seemingly gemstone-made blue tree fruit.
“Ice Glass Fruit?!” Qiao Sang was initially stunned, then her eyes lit up, and she picked up the fruit.
The gemstone-adorned paw retracted.
The rift slowly closed and disappeared.
“Xunxun?”
Little Xunbao floated over, its expression curious, and called out. “
What is this?”
“Ice Glass Fruit,” Qiao Sang said. “
Xunxun,”
Little Xunbao exclaimed with a sigh, indicating that Lu Bao’s performance hadn’t been in vain.
Then, as if remembering something, it showed a delighted expression and called out again:
“Xunxun?”
Now that we have the Ice Glass Fruit, can we go back now?
I really want to go back too! Qiao Sang didn’t answer immediately, but instead handed the Ice Glass Fruit to Lu Bao, saying,
“Eat it first.”
“Ice Saint,”
Lu Bao took the Ice Glass Fruit, put it in its mouth, and ate it very politely.
“Xunxun?”
Little Xunbao called out again when its Beastmaster didn’t answer.
Qiao Sang sighed, “We just agreed to let ‘First Seat’ stay and perform for it for a few days. Do you think we can leave Qi Kingdom now?”
She didn’t mention that the so-called First Seat was fake. Although Little Xunbao’s acting skills were good, Ya Bao and the others weren’t. They would definitely be exposed when they saw Te Yi Tuo Ling again.
“Xunxun.”
Little Xunbao looked disappointed.
Qiao Sang changed the subject, “Try it and see if you can use Shadow Penetration to leave the barrier set up by Qi Kingdom.”
She remembered the scene of Little Xunbao using Shadow Penetration to leave the barrier before.
“Xunxun~”
Little Xunbao nodded, its eyes glowing purple, and it darted into a black hole that appeared out of thin air in front of it.
One second, two seconds,
about ten seconds later, a black hole appeared out of thin air, and Little Xunbao emerged from it, happily calling out:
“Xunxun~”
It could leave the barrier of Qi Kingdom!
“Great!” Qiao Sang couldn’t help but show a look of surprise, suppressing the urge to leave immediately.
With Little Treasure Hunt able to leave the Qi Kingdom using Shadow Penetration, he had an extra layer of protection and wasn’t so passive.
If the other party was just an Emperor-level pet, he would definitely leave immediately, but Teytorin was a God-level pet with psychic abilities, and the Dead Treasure Lord who was helping with the translation was a Venerable-level pet. Even if he left and returned to the Ice Kingdom, the other party could find him in a matter of minutes, and might even implicate Teacher Michaela. After learning that Little Treasure Hunt’s Shadow Penetration could allow him to leave the Qi Kingdom’s barrier, Qiao Sang relaxed a lot and started thinking about countermeasures.
Teytorin didn’t want to keep him, but rather Lu Bao.
It kept Lu Bao because it hoped to absorb the white energy.
As for why it could still absorb white energy even at the god-level, that’s not important. What’s important is that as long as Lu Bao can’t let it absorb white energy anymore, Te Yi Tuo Ling will naturally lose interest in Lu Bao.
Thinking positively, although Te Yi Tuo Ling is impersonating the first seat, it’s at least generous; it gave her the Ice Glass Fruit as promised. Perhaps it’s a person of its word. All they need to do is perform for it while Lu Bao is in Qi Kingdom, and it will let them leave.
After all, Qi Kingdom has so many coordinators and pets with such high coordination abilities; they don’t necessarily have to hold onto Lu Bao.
Thinking of this, Qiao Sang turned to Lu Bao and said,
“Let’s go train the skill ‘Gorgeous Display’ now.”
“Ice Saint?”
Lu Bao was stunned for a moment, then called out, indicating that they should train now? But it had just eaten the Ice Glass Fruit and hadn’t digested it properly.
Qiao Sang said, “The energy consumption in your body has nothing to do with the absorption of the Ice Glass Fruit. Just focus on using your skills.”
She had specifically researched information about the Ice Glass Fruit beforehand.
“Ice Saint?”
Lu Bao nodded, then called out, indicating how it wanted to train.
Josang said seriously, “Failure is acceptable, but absolutely no flashy skills.”
Lu Bao: “???”
For the next few days, Josang and Lu Bao were moved to the palace to perform flashy skill demonstrations for Te Yituo Ling.
On the first day, Lu Bao used a giant ice spike to smash herself, scattering ice fragments everywhere.
Te Yituo Ling showed surprise, white energy appeared, and afterwards gifted her an Ice Glass Fruit.
On the second day, Lu Bao used a bubble beam, then used a water whip to continuously break the bubbles in the sky. During the process, the water whip’s power “accidentally” exceeded the limit, shattering the ground and surrounding pillars.
Te Yituo Ling showed a “not bad” expression, white energy appeared, and afterwards gifted her an Ice Glass Fruit.
On the third day, Lu Bao used an avalanche, but “accidentally” the power was too great, almost engulfing the entire palace.
“Te Yituo Ling,”
Te Yituo Ling called out calmly, indicating that the power was very strong, but the demonstration area was too small.
Afterwards, Lu Bao was taken to a more spacious open area outside to demonstrate.
After the demonstration, Teytorling showed an expression of “Indeed very strong,” white energy appeared, and afterwards it gifted a Bingli Fruit.
Day
4 & 5, 9:30 AM, hotel room. After breakfast, Qiao Sang checked her flight time on her phone: 7:35 PM.
“Ice Saint?”
Suddenly, Lu Bao called out from the side, indicating that they were going to give the First Seat another dazzling skill demonstration today?
Qiao Sang was silent for two seconds, then said, “I don’t know either, but if you go, just do what we trained yesterday.”
To be honest, no matter how Lu Bao demonstrated these past few days, Teytorling could absorb white energy. She now seriously suspected that what allowed Teytorling to absorb white energy wasn’t the spectacular coordination, but rather that Teytorling saw something beautiful and amazing in its eyes.
Otherwise, it was hard to explain why it could still absorb white energy even after Lu Bao’s impressive demonstration.
“Ice Saint,”
Lu Bao nodded.
“Xunxun.”
Little Xunbao called out with an envious expression, implying that if Lu Bao ate another Ice Glass Fruit today, her energy level would probably reach the late stage of the Royal Rank.
Qiao Sang thought for a moment and nodded, “It should be possible, but we’ll only know the exact increase in energy after the Ice Glass Fruit is fully digested.”
To be honest, getting the Ice Glass Fruit every day brought both surprise and a bit of trepidation. She had more than fulfilled her purpose in coming to Qi Kingdom, but she couldn’t be truly happy until she completely left.
Then, she remembered something and comforted her, “Once we leave Qi Kingdom, you can resume your livestreams, participate in competitions and events, and that will also quickly increase your energy.”
“Xunxun~”
Little Xunbao nodded happily.
At this moment, the golden spherical object on the coffee table suddenly lit up with a dazzling golden light. (End of Chapter)
