Beast Taming: Starting From Zero - Chapter 1586

Chapter 1586. Tingbao’s Desire to Become Stronger (Part 2)

“Go out?” Qiao Sang paused, then looked at the terrifying lightning outside, suddenly understanding something, and asked,

“You’re going to absorb the lightning?”

“Tingting.”

Tingbao nodded.

“But isn’t this lightning a bit too terrifying?” Qiao Sang hesitated.

Tingbao had never absorbed such terrifying lightning power before.

“Tingting.”

Tingbao’s expression was calm, but its eyes held a certain determination as it called out, implying that terror was better, so it could become stronger.

Qiao Sang looked at Tingbao, her heart slightly touched.

Although Tingbao’s recent behavior showed it wanted to become stronger, its determination seemed even stronger than she had imagined. With

these thoughts flashing through her mind, Tingbao called out again,

“Tingting.”

Even if it couldn’t absorb it, it didn’t matter if it got injured; Lu Bao could heal it.

“Bingluo.”

Lu Bao nodded, indicating that it could.

Such powerful lightning is too much for Tingbao, who is only at the general level. Forcing it would definitely cause injury. However, with Lubao around, there’s no need to worry about any aftereffects. It’s worth a try. Even if Tingbao only absorbs one-tenth of the power of this lightning, its internal energy should be significantly enhanced. Qiao Sang thought of this and said,

“If you get injured and can’t hold on, come back. Don’t force it to absorb if you’re injured.”

“Tingting.”

Tingbao nodded and called out, indicating that it understood.

After speaking, it opened the window with its tail.

“Boom!!!”

In an instant, a thunderclap several times more terrifying than before roared, like a divine beast in a rage, making the entire sky tremble.

“Xiaxia!”

Xiabao was startled and instinctively rushed into its beast tamer’s arms.

Damn, this lightning! Qiao Sang’s heart trembled slightly, but on the surface, it remained as steady as a mountain, reaching out to catch Xiabao steadily.

Hearing the thunder, Tingbao didn’t hesitate. After opening the window, it twisted its body and flew outside.

“Qingqing!”

Qingbao called out excitedly, indicating that it also wanted to go out and see.

It prepared to transform into the wind and fly away.

However, before it could transform, Qiao Sang, holding Xia Bao in one arm, slammed the window shut with one hand, saying,

“Don’t go.”

The thunder subsided considerably the moment the window closed.

“Qingqing?”

Qingbao looked at its beast tamer, its expression aggrieved, and called out, asking why

. Thankfully, it hadn’t been exposed to the wind yet. Qiao Sang felt a pang of inexplicable emotion and said earnestly,

“The thunder outside is so terrifying right now. You could easily get struck by lightning if you go out. It’s not safe.”

“Qingqing,”

Qingbao called out with a wronged expression.

But even Lao Liu had gone out.

“It went straight for the thunder,” Qiao Sang said. “What about you? What do you want to do outside?”

“Qingqing,”

Qingbao called out.

It felt the thunder outside.

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

“Qingqing!”

It felt even the wind outside was calling to it!

As it spoke, a gust of wind blew.

“I want to go out, I want to go out!”

Qingbao really wanted to go out. Qiao Sang listened to the wind around her, paused for two seconds, and compromised,

“Wait until you have breakfast before going out.”

She paused, then added, “Tingbao can be full by absorbing lightning, you have to eat.”

Qingbao’s essence was wind, yearning for freedom, and it was indeed difficult to restrict its movements. If it got struck by lightning outside, Lu Bao could always heal it.

Sensing its master’s thoughts, Gangbao turned to look at Lu Bao, giving her a “you’ve worked hard” look.

“Qingqing!”

Qingbao’s eyes curved into a smile, and it suddenly became happy. A pleasant wind blew around it, circling its master before drifting towards the living room outside the door.

Qiao Sang glanced at Qingbao’s departing figure, then looked back at the terrifying lightning flashing outside the window, a worried expression on her face.

“Steel Power.”

Steel Treasure sensed its master’s worry and called out, indicating whether it needed to go out and guard Tingbao, bringing it back if it got injured.

“No need,” Qiao Sang said. “If Tingbao gets injured, I can sense it and summon it back immediately. You might get injured too if you go out in this weather.”

Steel Treasure felt a pang of gratitude.

Just then, its master’s thoughts flashed through its mind: The lightning is so terrifying, even Steel Treasure would likely get injured without using defensive skills. If it gets injured, I get injured. I absolutely cannot let Steel Treasure go out and get struck by lightning.

Steel Treasure: “.”

In the living room.

Qingbao floated to the side of Little Xunbao, who was still focused on casting a mental link on the doll, and called out:

“Qingqing?”

Still casting a mental link?

Little Xunbao didn’t answer immediately, but its eyes glowed blue. After casting the mental link on the doll in its paw, it called out:

“Xunxun~”

Yes~

Although it spent most of the night casting mental links, Little Xunbao wasn’t in pain.

Before using the mental link tonight, it went live to tell its fans about giving away plush toys. All the fans flooded the screen with their excitement and anticipation, which fueled its motivation.

“Qingqing?”

Qingbao called out, asking if it wanted to go out and play after breakfast.

Hearing this, Xiao Xunbao turned to look at the sky outside the window, which was flashing with terrifying lightning, and gave a “what are you talking about?” look, calling out,

“Xunxun?”

“Qingqing,”

Qingbao repeated patiently, unusually patiently. “

Want to go out and play after breakfast?

” “Xunxun!”

Little Xunbao took a step back, giving a “Are you alright?” look, and called out, implying that only a fool would go out in this weather!

Qingbao’s face darkened instantly.

At the same time, a fierce wind

began to blow. Little Xunbao’s golden hair flew wildly, and toys were blown into the air.

Feeling the wind around him, Little Xunbao immediately realized he had said something wrong, and quickly teleported several meters away, calling out again,

“Xunxun!”

I didn’t mean you were a fool!

Veins bulged on Qingbao’s forehead, and finally, unable to bear it any longer, he shouted,

“Qingqing!”

and then transformed into a gust of wind.

“Xunxun!”

Little Xunbao was startled and quickly teleported away.

In the large living room, Little Xunbao and Qingbao chased each other, toys, tables, chairs, appliances, plants—everything was blown away by the wind.

The windows rattled loudly.

Qiao Sang pushed open the door, instinctively raising his arm to block the oncoming wind.

“Xunxun!”

Little Xunbao saw its Beastmaster and quickly teleported behind it to hide.

The gale stopped instantly.

Qingbao appeared, looked at its Beastmaster with a wronged expression, and called out,

“Qingqing.”

Little Xunbao said I was an idiot.

“Xunxun!”

Little Xunbao floated out from behind its Beastmaster and called out, indicating that it didn’t say anything!

“Qingqing!”

Qingbao called out angrily.

You did say something!

“Xunxun!”

I didn’t say anything!

“Qingqing!”

“You said it!”

The wind picked up again.

Qiao Sang stepped forward, standing between Qingbao and Xiao Xunbao, and said,

“I heard everything you just said, Qingbao, you were wrong.”

Qingbao was stunned, then looked at her Beastmaster with a hurt expression, unable to believe she would say such a thing.

Xiao Xunbao nodded in agreement.

Qiao Sang continued,

“Xiao Xunbao is a Ghost-type pet, its biggest fear is lightning. If it goes out, it will definitely be terrified of being struck by lightning. You are different; you are brave and not afraid of lightning. How can Xiao Xunbao compare to you?”

“Qingqing.”

Qingbao was stunned again, then the corners of its mouth unconsciously curled up, revealing an expression that said, “You make a lot of sense,” and called out. “

I was wrong.”

Saying this, she glanced at Xiao Xunbao mockingly.

At the same time, the wind disappeared.

Xiao Xunbao: “???”

Her Beastmaster seemed to have made sense, but why did something still feel off?

Although Qingbao was easily angered, she was still easy to coax. Qiao Sang sighed inwardly, looking at the mess

in the living room, and said, “Clean up the living room.”

Hearing this, Qingbao turned around and looked around, only then realizing what she had just done. She couldn’t help but show an embarrassed expression and called out,

“Qingqing.”

Then, she controlled the wind to prepare to tidy up.

“Xunxun~”

At this moment, little Xunbao called out, indicating that she would clean up.

After saying that, her eyes glowed blue.

All the overturned dolls and furniture were controlled by an invisible force, lifted into the air, and quickly returned to their original positions.

Qingbao turned to look at little Xunbao tidying up and felt that she was much more pleasing to the eye.

Forty minutes later.

The staff brought breakfast.

After the dishes were laid out on the table, Michaela looked around and asked,

“Where’s Tingbao?”

“It went outside to absorb lightning,” Josang replied, then turned to the Observer standing not far away and said,

“Are you hungry? Don’t worry, I’ve already rented a charging electric-type pet; it’ll be here soon.”

Observer: “???”

“Observer.”

The Observer forced a smile and called out.

Thank you.

“You’re welcome. It’s my duty to make sure you’re well-fed,” Josang said with a smile, then lowered her head to begin eating.

Michaela glanced out the window.

Thunder rumbled, and streaks of lightning ripped across the sky, illuminating it and sending chills down one’s spine.

Michaela withdrew her gaze, frowning.

“Can Tingbao absorb such lightning?”

“It’s been out absorbing for almost an hour,” Qiao Sang remarked. “I didn’t expect Tingbao to absorb for so long.”

She could sense Tingbao’s condition; it was injured after only five minutes outside, but she could sense it was still able to withstand it. Moreover, she checked the Beast Taming Manual, and Tingbao’s level data was constantly increasing, indicating that the lightning absorption was very successful.

Michaela pondered for a moment, then asked,

“Is Tingbao unharmed?”

“It is injured,” Qiao Sang replied truthfully, “but still within its tolerance range; the injury isn’t too serious.”

Michaela glanced at the lightning outside again, quite surprised. “I didn’t expect Tingbao, only at the General level, to be able to absorb such lightning.”

“Perhaps Tingbao has the characteristic of Heavenly Thunder Resonance, allowing it to continuously recover even when injured,” Qiao Sang speculated.

Thunder Resonance allows pets with this trait to connect with the lightning energy generated by heaven and earth, enabling continuous regeneration. Back when Tingbao absorbed lightning during a thunderstorm, Qiao Sang pretended to have made a new discovery, bringing up this topic and letting Teacher Michaela know that Tingbao possessed this trait.

Michaela nodded slightly: “Possibly. It seems Tingbao’s Thunder Resonance trait level is quite high.”

She only knew Tingbao had Thunder Resonance, but didn’t know its specific level.

She then smiled: “Absorbing lightning plus Thunder Resonance, it seems Thunder Kingdom is very suitable for Tingbao to become stronger.”

Qiao Sang’s heart stirred upon hearing this.

Yes, for Tingbao, naturally generated lightning power is sometimes more effective than various electric materials.

Thunder Kingdom frequently experiences thunderstorms. If Tingbao stayed here for a while, absorbing lightning of this level every now and then, he might quickly reach the late stage of General level, let alone the mid-stage.

Just then, she suddenly sensed something, her expression changed slightly, and her hands quickly formed hand seals.

The next second, a dazzling and magnificent golden star array lit up in the living room.

With its eyes closed, the charred body of Tingbao appeared in the star array.

“Xunxun!”

Little Xunbao cried out in concern. “

Sixth Brother!

” “Lubao,” Qiao Sang called out.

Lubao looked at Tingbao, and without a word, the gem on its forehead emitted an icy blue light that shone on its body.

When the icy blue light dissipated, Tingbao had already opened its eyes, fully recovered.

“Xunxun,”

Little Xunbao breathed a sigh of relief.

“How did you suddenly get so badly injured?” Qiao Sang asked.

“Tingting,”

Tingbao twisted its body and got up, recalled for a moment, and called out, indicating that it had just absorbed lightning, and a bolt of lightning had struck it. It couldn’t withstand it and fainted, then woke up here.

It seems that Tingbao can withstand the power of absorbed lightning, but it can’t withstand being struck by lightning at the same time. Qiao Sang finished analyzing and smiled:

“Teacher Michaela was just talking to me about you.”

Tingbao glanced at Michaela.

Michaela looked back at Tingbao and gave him a friendly smile.

Tingbao, expressionless, looked away and called out,

“Tingting.”

It went back to absorbing lightning.

After saying that, it twisted its body, preparing to fly out the window.

But suddenly, it saw something, stopped, changed direction, and came to the object-recognizing monster.

The Object-Knowing Monster: “???”

“Tingting,”

Tingbao called out, indicating it had almost forgotten about it.

Without waiting for the Object-Knowing Monster’s response, crackling yellow arcs of electricity appeared on its body, converging into a single beam that struck the Object-Knowing Monster. The

Object-Knowing Monster: “…” The

Object-Knowing Monster feigned enjoyment. “

Isn’t this electric-type pet just a name for nothing?” Qiao Sang thought, but didn’t stop it.

A short while later, Tingbao withdrew its lightning and wiggled its body to the window.

Qiao Sang cautioned, “Don’t overdo it. Come back if you can’t absorb it all.”

Even with its lightning-absorbing properties, a pet can’t absorb lightning indefinitely; there’s a limit to how much lightning power it can absorb each day.

“Tingting,”

Tingbao called out, then opened the window with its tail, wiggled its body, and flew outside.

“Boom!!!”

A terrifying thunderclap shook the heavens and earth.

“Xunxun,” Little Xunbao watched Tingbao’s departing figure, its eyes glowing blue, and quickly used its telekinesis to close the window.

Just then, there was a knock on the door.

Little Treasure Hunter turned its head and looked at the door.

The door opened under its control.

A bird-like pet, mostly yellow, walked in, looked around, and called out,

“Genggeng?”

Who needs to recharge?

Qiao Sang paused for a moment, looked at the Object-Knowing Monster, and asked,

“Are you full? Want to recharge some more?”

Object-Knowing Monster: “???” (End of Chapter)
