Beast Taming: Starting From Zero - Chapter 1576

Chapter 1576. So fast? (Two chapters combined)

“Xunxun.”

Little Xunbao called out weakly, indicating that it was almost there.

“Qingqing!”

Qingbao continued to laugh.

So it hadn’t learned it yet!

Little Xunbao: “.”

Seeing Little Xunbao’s mouth shrinking further, Qiao Sang coughed and said,

“This is only the second day Little Xunbao has been learning Spirit Link. This skill isn’t its main attribute, and it’s a high-level skill, so it’s normal that it hasn’t learned it yet.” “

Qingqing.”

Hearing its Beastmaster speaking up for Little Xunbao, Qingbao suddenly remembered its image in front of its Beastmaster, and its unrestrained laughter subsided.

“Xunxun~”

Little Xunbao perked up, nodding repeatedly and calling out, indicating that it was true.

Michaela picked up a doll from her bag, examined it for a moment, and said,

“The doll is well made. Now we just need to wait for Little Xunbao to learn Spirit Link before we can experiment.”

After saying that, she looked at Penjami and asked,

“How’s the progress of Spirit Link today?”

“Penpen.”

Penjami shook her head.

“Where do you think the problem is?” Michaela asked again.

Qiao Sang pricked up her ears.

Penjamei thought for a moment and called out,

“Penpen.”

Little Xunbao’s mental energy wasn’t concentrated enough, and its attention wasn’t focused enough.

“Xunxun!”

Little Xunbao quickly called out, defending itself.

Its attention was already very focused!

“Penpen.”

Penjamei looked at it and called out calmly.

You’re just focusing your eyes.

Little Xunbao: “.”

“Then there’s not even any initial progress.” Michaela summarized, giving an adjustment plan: “First, concentrate your mental energy until you can feel it becoming a wisp in your mind, then we’ll proceed to the next step.”

Penjamei didn’t speak, indicating agreement.

“Xunxun.”

Little Xunbao was somewhat frustrated, its mood low.

It felt it might not have any talent for learning mental linking, and the doll wasn’t what it wanted.

Just as its mood was low, Qiao Sang spoke up:

“I roughly know how to train mental linking, I’ll teach Little Xunbao next.”

Hearing its beast tamer’s words, Little Xunbao inexplicably relaxed a lot.

Penjamei was about to say no.

Qiao Sang continued,

“Otherwise, it will disturb Mei Mei’s sleep every morning.”

Penjia Mei immediately fell silent, a hint of emotion in her eyes.

“Xun Xun~”

To get its Beastmaster to teach it, Little Xun Bao quickly nodded, meowing in agreement, indicating that it would definitely disturb Mei Mei’s sleep.

Michaela nodded slightly: “Alright, you have experience teaching Little Xun Bao skills. If you have any questions, feel free to ask me and Mei Mei.”

“I will,” Qiao Sang said.

Two in the morning.

Ya Bao and the others were all fast asleep.

The phone charging on the bedside table suddenly vibrated.

The alarm clock was ringing.

After only two vibrations, Qiao Sang opened her eyes, picked up her phone, turned off the alarm, and sat up, yawning.

She looked around at the sleeping Ya Bao and the others, tiptoed out of bed, and put on her shoes.

“Bing Luo?”

Suddenly, Lu Bao’s voice rang out.

Qiao Sang looked in the direction of the sound and found that Lu Bao, who had been keeping its eyes closed, had opened them at some point, its head sticking out of the water tank.

“Why are you awake?” Qiao Sang asked in a low voice.

“Bing Luo,”

Lu Bao called out.

It heard the voice.

“You’re getting more and more alert these days,” Qiao Sang remarked.

In the past, Gang Bao was the most alert, but this time, to avoid waking Ya Bao and the others, she had set the alarm for a slight vibration, but it still woke Lu Bao.

“Bing Luo?”

Lu Bao asked the same question again.

What are you going to do?

It heard the phone vibrate and knew that its Beastmaster had deliberately woken up at this time, not because it was suddenly hungry or needed to use the restroom.

Lu Bao had changed a lot since evolving into an Emperor-level beast. Before it evolved, even if it was woken up, it wouldn’t be so curious. Qiao Sang sighed inwardly and told the truth:

“I’m going to teach Xiao Xun Bao how to use the Mental Link.”

Lu Bao looked puzzled.

Before it could ask, Qiao Sang lowered her voice and continued,

“Little Xunbao’s attention is easily distracted during the day. At night, when everyone is asleep and it’s quieter, its attention is more focused, increasing its chances of learning the mental link.”

Hearing this, Lu Bao stopped talking and silently circulated its energy. The gem on its forehead shone with an icy blue light, illuminating its beast tamer.

When the icy blue light faded, Qiao Sang’s drowsiness and fatigue completely disappeared.

Qiao Sang felt a warmth in her heart and said gently,

“Thank you. Go to sleep early.”

“Bingluo.”

Lu Bao nodded and ducked back into the water tank.

Qiao Sang moved quietly, walked out of the room, and gently closed the door.

She went to the living room and, as expected, saw Little Xunbao livestreaming.

Hearing the noise, Little Xunbao looked up, saw its beast tamer, paused for a moment, and called out,

“Xunxun?”

“Turn it off,” Qiao Sang mouthed, pointing to the livestreaming phone.

“Xunxun~”

Little Xunbao obediently did as instructed, waving its paw at the phone screen and barking to indicate that its Beastmaster had called it, and that today’s live stream would end here.

After saying that, it turned off the live stream.

After doing all this, it looked at its beast tamer with a puzzled expression and called out,

“Xunxun?”

Was something wrong?

Qiao Sang went to the sofa, picked up a plush toy shaped like a little Xunbao, and said,

“Let’s train our mental link.”

The little Xunbao was taken aback at first, then its expression fell, looking miserable, and it called out,

“Xunxun?”

Seriously? Now? So late?

Qiao Sang looked at it amusedly: “Didn’t you learn many of your skills at night? Besides, you don’t need to sleep, so what difference does it make to you whether it’s late or not?”

“Xunxun~”

Upon hearing this, Xiao Xunbao showed a “makes sense” expression.

Then, as if remembering something, it called out again,

“Xunxun?”

Aren’t you going to sleep?

“Lu Bao cast a healing spell on me, so I’m not sleepy.” Qiao Sang sat down on the sofa and said,

“Your concentration is better at night, so we need to train at night.”

Xiao Xunbao understood, its eyes filled with gratitude. Something seemed off

that its own Beastmaster was staying up all night to train it

. Wasn’t it me who was suffering? It had already trained all day.

A thought flashed through its mind as Qiao Sang continued, “If we learn the mental link sooner, we can try to sense everyone’s affection and absorb energy using this method. If it works, your evolution speed will definitely increase significantly.”

She paused, then added, “Although Qing Bao doesn’t believe it, I believe you can learn it quickly.”

Remembering Qing Bao’s mocking tone, Xiao Xunbao’s expression immediately became serious, and it called out,

“Xunxun!”

It understood!

After speaking, its eyes glowed blue as it focused intently on the doll that resembled itself.

A few seconds later, Xiao Xunbao’s eyes crossed.

Seeing this, Qiao Sang’s lips twitched. He thought to himself, “Good heavens, so this is what Penjiamei meant by ‘focused gaze.

‘” “You’ve become cross-eyed,” Qiao Sang said bluntly.

Little Xunbao quickly shook its head, its gaze returning to normal, and then continued to stare intently at the doll.

Seeing its pupils becoming increasingly focused, and showing signs of turning cross-eyed again, Qiao Sang couldn’t help but ask,

“Can you sense your mental energy condensing into a single strand in your mind?”

The blue light in Little Xunbao’s eyes dissipated, and it looked at its Beastmaster, nodding:

“Xunxun~”

Little Xunbao was a Royal-level pet. Although its superpowers were a secondary attribute, they constituted a significant portion, and it used them frequently. Condensing its mental energy into a single strand was quite easy for it; it seemed the only remaining issue was focus. Qiao Sang pondered this.

While it was thinking, seeing its Beastmaster remain silent, Little Xunbao’s eyes glowed blue again, and it focused its attention on the doll.

One second, two seconds later, it became cross-eyed once more.

“Xunxun.”

After a moment, the blue light in Xiaoxunbao’s eyes faded, revealing a disappointed expression.

Another failure.

Qiao Sang pondered for a moment, then said,

“Summon your substitute. Let’s not try to establish a mental link with the doll first, but try with the substitute.”

“Xunxun?”

Xiaoxunbao looked puzzled, calling out, indicating what the difference was. Didn’t they eventually have to establish a mental link with the doll anyway?

Qiao Sang explained,

“The substitute carries your energy fluctuations. Its thoughts, its energy, its actions are all under your control. The success rate of establishing a mental link with it is far greater than with the doll. If you succeed, the success rate will be even higher when you try to establish a mental link with the doll.”

She had done her homework on mental linking that night. Mental linking can be used not only with inanimate objects but also with living ones. Many professional beast tamers teach their pets mental linking to achieve a deep bond in battles.

It allows them to share the same gaze, sense the same feelings, and even share the same thoughts in battle.

However, to establish a mental link with a living being, the other party must actively open their mental domain, and both parties must mutually accept each other and achieve mental resonance before the initial mental link is successfully established.

In some ways, establishing a mental link with a living being is far more difficult than with an inanimate object.

The latter only requires training one’s mental power to fixate on the target, while the former requires the joint effort of both parties. If either party’s mental power or emotions fluctuate, the mental link may break.

Establishing a mental link with a substitute doesn’t have this problem, since the substitute is created by Little Treasure Hunt, and as long as it remains stable, it’s fine.

Most importantly, once Little Treasure Hunt successfully establishes a mental link with a substitute, the relevant skill data will appear in the Beast Taming Manual, meaning it has fully learned the skill and can directly use it on the doll.

“Xunxun~”

Little Treasure Hunt’s eyes lit up, and it called out, then quickly circulated its energy.

The next second, a Netherworld Lord that looked exactly like it appeared beside it.

Little Treasure Hunt looked at the substitute, and the substitute looked back at it.

Immediately afterward, their eyes simultaneously glowed blue.

One second, two seconds later, the pupils of Little Treasure and its substitute became increasingly focused, eventually turning cross-eyed.

Qiao Sang’s lips twitched at this sight, but she didn’t interrupt.

Two seconds later, the blue light faded from Little Treasure and its substitute’s eyes, and they both sighed:

“Xunxun.”

“Xunxun.”

They failed.

“You’re too concerned about success or failure,” Qiao Sang saw the problem and said, “This is only your third time practicing. Mental Link is a high-level skill. A pet that can learn it within three months is already considered very talented. You need to calm down and not be impatient. This is just a common skill you need to train on your path to becoming stronger.”

“Xunxun,”

Little Treasure sighed, letting out a cry, indicating that this skill was anything but ordinary; if it couldn’t learn it, it wouldn’t be able to evolve quickly.

Qiao Sang calmly said,

“Even if you learn this skill, you might not be able to quickly increase your energy. Don’t forget, this is just a method for sensing emotional energy over a wide area, as Xiao Yulai mentioned. What you need to absorb is the power of genuine affection. Even if you sense that energy from a distance, you might not be able to absorb it.”

She paused, then added,

“And don’t forget, your final evolution point is on the battlefield. This means that regardless of whether you can absorb the energy, whether it’s sooner or later, the final evolution point and time will not change.”

“Training the mental link now is just to let you try to see if there’s another possibility for absorbing energy.”

She’s quite good at counseling. In the closed room, the object-aware monster lay on the bed with its eyes open, listening to the sounds outside and thinking.

“Xunxun.”

In the living room, Little Xunbao was first stunned, then showed an expression of “that makes sense.

” “So, calm down.” Qiao Sang said gently.

“Xunxun~”

“Xunxun~”

Little Xunbao and its substitute nodded at the same time, called out, and then turned to look at each other, their eyes glowing blue.

One second, two seconds…

This time, neither Little Treasure Hunter nor its Stand’s eyes turned cross-eyed.

It seemed there was progress. Seeing this, Qiao Sang’s heart stirred. She watched quietly, without disturbing them.

The night breeze stirred the curtains. The Object-Knowing Monster lay on the bed. Just when it thought Little Treasure Hunter was going to fail again, it suddenly heard Little Treasure Hunter’s excited voice:

“Xunxun!”

It seemed to have succeeded!

So fast? The Object-Knowing Monster was somewhat stunned and sat up abruptly.

“Really?” In the living room, Qiao Sang was both surprised and delighted.

“Xunxun~”

“Xunxun~”

The blue light in Little Treasure Hunter and its Stand’s eyes faded, and they nodded happily at the same time.

They learned it already? Qiao Sang was overjoyed.

To be honest, she knew that with Little Treasure Hunter’s learning talent, it should be able to learn this skill quickly, but she never expected it to be this fast! “

That was too fast! Although Little Treasure Hunt is a Royal-level pet, it’s unlikely it’s a mistake, but I still need to confirm.” Qiao Sang gathered her thoughts and said,

“Try forming a mental link with the doll now.”

“Xunxun~”

Little Treasure Hunt nodded.

The next second, the substitute disappeared.

Little Treasure Hunt’s eyes glowed blue as it focused intently on the doll on the sofa, which looked exactly like itself.

At the same time, Qiao Sang’s consciousness quickly entered the Beast Taming Codex and turned to the page about Little Treasure Hunt.

Soon, she saw a new line of data in the skill section:

[Mental Link (Beginner 1/100)+] (End of Chapter)
