Beast Taming Starts from Zero

They even had the strength to fight back... Qiao Sang looked at Ting Bao, who had emerged from the ice shell, and a thought struck her.

Perhaps Tingbao's defenses are even stronger than she imagined.

"Tingting!"

The ice shell shattered, and Tingbao roared.

The remaining three pets' expressions changed slightly, and they all unleashed their skills.

The green blades, white ice lines, and yellow electric arcs attacked again in unison.

These skills' attack speed wouldn't be a problem under normal circumstances, but for Tingbao now, there's no way he can dodge them.

"We can't lose..." Tingbao thought of the points-based tasks assigned by his beast tamer and revealed a fierce expression.

Suddenly, crackling yellow arcs of electricity appeared on his body and converged forward.

In mid-air, the electric arc suddenly split into three, striking the three pet beasts not far away.

The yellow lightning bolts split suddenly, catching the three pets completely off guard. They were struck by the terrifying lightning before they could even dodge.

With a loud "boom," the three pets let out screams of agony.

At the same time, green blades, white ice lines, and yellow electric arcs concentrated their attacks on Tingbao.

"Tingting!"

Amid the explosion, Tingbao screamed and was sent flying backward.

It collapsed at almost the same time as the other three pets.

No one stood up again.

There was a brief moment of silence, followed by a noisy commotion.

The pet wearing the referee's badge stepped forward to take a look.

When it came to Tingbao's side, Tingbao's tail suddenly twitched, and then it raised its head, its vision almost blurred as it looked at the three pets lying on the ground in the distance.

Upon seeing this, the pet wearing the referee's badge looked surprised and then blew the whistle to signal the end of the match.

The barrier disappears.

A virtual panel appears above Tingbao.

The points section suddenly gained 8 points at once.

The commotion suddenly rose like dust, becoming even noisier than before.

"Wow, that dragon-type pet is amazing! It actually won!"

"When the fight comes to an end, only one of them can still move. If it doesn't win, who will?"

"I watched the previous match of this dragon-type pet, which was also a 1v8. However, it only encountered electric-type pets. It clearly has the Lightning Rod ability and its level is not low. It won, so it's not a big deal. But I really didn't expect it to win this 1v8 match as well."

"Its electric discharge skill is probably an ultimate technique; it instantly killed three pets with a single strike."

"Thunder Dragon, a Dragon-type and Electric-type, how come I've never heard of such a powerful species before?"

Tingbao… Qiao Sang quickly stepped forward, squatted down, and asked:

"Are you OK?"

“Tingting…”

Tingbao managed to call out.

Did we win? Little Treasure Hunter, who was pretending to be unconscious, listened to the commotion around him, pretended to have just woken up, and opened his eyes.

"Ya Ya!"

Ya Bao, who had been watching over them, looked surprised and called out.

"Searching..."

Little Treasure Hunter gave Toothless a weak smile, indicating that he was alright.

Then she floated to Tingbao's side, her expression almost bursting with joy, and called out:
"Looking around~"

Sixth Brother, you didn't let me down. I knew you could win.

“Tingting…”

Tingbao looked at Xiaoxunbao, forced a smile, then closed his eyes and fainted.

"Searching..."

Little Treasure's body suddenly stiffened, then it painfully pointed to its throat towards its beast tamer, closed its eyes, and collapsed.

Qiao Sang: "..."

Qingbao stood to the side with a "here we go again" expression.

"Ya Ya!"

Ya Bao looked anxious and called out.

Little Treasure Hunter, why did you fall down again!
Because Tingbao collapsed… Qiao Sang thought to herself, “I’m so sorry, Tingbao has collapsed…”
"Let's go back first."

Tingbao's current condition is no longer suitable for continuing the battle.

……

Villa, open-air training ground.

Hearing the noise, Lu Bao stopped training and went to the living room.

As soon as it entered, it saw Tingbao covered in injuries and Xiao Xunbao with its eyes closed.

"ice King?"

Lu Bao frowned and exclaimed, indicating how things had gotten like this.

Before it could answer, the gem on its forehead emitted a deep blue light, which shone on both Little Treasure Hunter and Tingbao.

"Tingting".

Once the eerie blue light faded, Tingbao's injuries had completely disappeared, and he had regained his strength.

Little Treasure Hunter still kept his eyes closed.

"ice King?"

Lu Bao sensed Xiao Xunbao's condition and immediately knew that it was faking unconsciousness. She couldn't help but call out, indicating what was wrong with Xiao Xunbao.
"Ya Ya!"

Toothpick looked anxious and cried out, indicating that it didn't know. A ghost-type pet had cursed it, but it had already cleansed the curse. However, Little Treasure seemed to be injured and fainted.

"Tingting!"

Upon hearing this, Tingbao also became anxious and exclaimed, "What should we do?"

Lu Bao: "..."

Lu Bao turned her gaze to her own beast tamer.

"It's pretending..." Josan opened his mouth and said silently to Lu Bao.

Lu Bao understood, gave a "I should have thought of that" look, and returned to the open-air training ground to continue training.

"Ya Ya!"

"Tingting!"

Ya Bao and Ting Bao both cried out in unison, indicating that they didn't want to leave.

Lu Bao ignored them.

"Stop shouting," Qiao Sang said. "I have a plan."

Ya Bao and Ting Bao looked over.

Qiao Sang looked at Gang Bao.

Steel Treasure understood immediately, plucked a feather from his body, and poked it at Little Treasure Hunter.

"Search!"

Little Treasure opened its eyes, quickly covered the spot where it had been poked, and floated up.

Gangbao tucked the feather back into his body, keeping his merit and fame hidden.

"Ya Ya!"

Ya Bao exclaimed in surprise, indicating that Little Treasure Hunter had finally woken up.

“Tingting…”

Tingbao hesitated for a moment, realizing that its boss might be faking it.

"Search?"

Seeing that it couldn't keep up the act any longer, Little Treasure sneakily glanced at its Beastmaster. Seeing its Beastmaster staring at it with a half-smile, it looked around in confusion, then barked, indicating that it was out competing with Lao Liu and had returned.
"Ya Ya!"

Ya Bao cried out, indicating that you were cursed, and then fainted, so he brought you back.

"Ya Ya!"

After a pause, Ya Bao called out again.

However, I have already purified your curse, so you should be fine now.

"Looking around~"

After hearing this, Little Treasure Hunter had an "Oh, I see" expression on his face.

After saying that, it rubbed its forehead with its paw, looking like it was "still feeling a little uncomfortable," and floated to the sofa to lie down.

Qingbao rolled her eyes.

Qiao Sang's lips twitched slightly as she said:
"Then you should get some rest, and make up for the three hours of training time you had today tomorrow."

"Search!"

Little Treasure suddenly floated up and cried out, indicating that it suddenly felt like it was no longer dizzy.

“Then you should start training now,” Qiao Sang said.

Little Treasure Hunter: "..."

"Tingting?"

At this moment, Tingbao barked, indicating whether it still had time to compete today.

Qiao Sang paused for a moment, then nodded and said:
"Have."

"Tingting".

Tingbao looked at Xiaoxunbao and called out, "Boss, take me to the competition. I still have time to earn points."

Little Treasure Hunter was stunned and couldn't help but look at his Beastmaster.

Qiao Sang paused for a moment, then nodded at it.

"Search!"

Little Treasure Hunter's eyes suddenly lit up, and he instantly became energetic, letting out a cry before his eyes glowed blue.

"and many more."

Qiao Sang interrupted.

"Searching..."

The blue light in Little Treasure's eyes faded, and it became nervous, fearing that its beast tamer would change his mind and ask it to stay for training.

Josang said, "Take some food with you; you haven't eaten anything tonight."

No sooner had he finished speaking than Gangbao grabbed the bag containing the lunchboxes and flew over.

"Looking around~"

Little Treasure Hunt perked up again. It barked, took the bag, its eyes glowing blue, and disappeared with Tingbao.

"Qingqing."

Qingbao floated over and called out, indicating that Xiao Xunbao loved to play too much, and suggested that it take Lao Liu out to find rivals in the future.

I think you want to go out and play too… Qiao Sang glanced at it and said:
“No, Little Treasure Hunter’s clone can train over long distances, while your clone can’t. Besides, Little Treasure Hunter has spatial teleportation and can directly locate home, making it more suitable than you.”

"Qingqing..."

Qingbao had no way to refute it.

Qiao Sang returned to her room, washed up briefly, and lay half-reclined on the bed, beginning to ponder Tingbao's situation.

Tingbao's practical combat talent and potential were clearly higher than she had imagined. Although four of her eight opponents were electric-type, even electric-type opponents would cause some interference when there were eight opponents, but Tingbao still won.

Neither its reaction speed nor its defensive capabilities resemble those of a young pet.

If they had participated in the competition a few months earlier, even without its own coach, Tingbao might have been able to win first place on its own...

What a pity...

Perhaps, while on Yantian Star, Tingbao can freely battle outside, just like the pets here...

Qiao Sang gathered his thoughts and began to meditate cross-legged.

Time passed little by little.

12:05 am.

Little Treasure and Tingbao appeared out of thin air in the living room.

Josang, who was still meditating, opened his eyes and went to the living room.

"Tingting?"

Tingbao looked over with a puzzled expression and called out, "Aren't you asleep yet?"
It remembered that its beast tamers were mostly asleep at this time.

"How can I sleep when you're not back?" Qiao Sang said with a smile, then looked at Xiao Xunbao.

"Search!"

Little Treasure Hunter quickly called out, indicating that Lao Liu's points had accumulated to 200 today!
As he spoke, he nudged Tingbao, signaling it to quickly show its score to its beast tamer.

"Tingting".

Tingbao turned on the points recorder.

The virtual panel appeared prominently at the top.

[Race: Thunder Dragon]

[Level: Intermediate]

【Points: 248】

[Rank: 1000+]

He actually gained over 200 points in one night! He didn't even play any games… Qiao Sang thought to herself, praising him:
"Well done."

“Tingting…”

Tingbao collapsed weakly to the ground.

That's pretty good, it didn't rest all night.

"Are they all looking for Electric-type Pokémon to battle?" Qiao Sang asked.

"Looking around~"

Little Treasure Hunter shook his head, spread his paws, sighed, and let out a cry.

It's late at night and everyone's asleep, so it can't find any electric-type pets to hunt.

"So how did you accumulate so many points?" Qiao Sang asked.

"Looking around~"

Little Treasure Hunter grinned and called out.

If there are no Electric-type Pokémon, there are Bug-type Pokémon. You said you'd find Bug-type Pokémon to battle.

"Tingting".

Tingbao nodded.

There are quite a few insect-type pets.

"How did you get them to agree to fight?" Jossan asked again.

"Looking around~"

Little Treasure Hunter called out.

That's easy. It specifically chose insect-type pets with low intelligence and provoked them a little, and they agreed.

"Tingting".

Tingbao nodded, indicating that he was right.

Qiao Sang recalled Little Treasure Hunter's taunting skill and instantly imagined how it would provoke those insect-type pets, and couldn't help but laugh:

"You've worked hard, you should get some rest."

"Looking around~"

Little Treasure wiped non-existent sweat from his forehead, revealing an expression that said, "You really have worked hard."

“Tingting…”

Tingbao lay down on the ground and barked once, indicating that it was fine to rest there.

After saying that, he closed his eyes and soon began to snore evenly.

It seems she's really exhausted... Qiao Sang tossed her phone to Xiao Xunbao and said:

"You did well today, you can play for a while tonight."

Although Xiao Xunbao played with Tingbao during the day and Tingbao conducted the matches at night, Xiao Xunbao accompanied him throughout the entire competition. Most importantly, Xiao Xunbao's stunt double trained in the open-air venue without interruption, whether it was day or night.

"Looking around~"

Little Treasure's eyes lit up, and he excitedly took the phone.

Seeing this, Qiao Sang smiled, turned around and went back to her room.

"Looking around~"

Little Treasure happily floated onto the sofa and started playing on her phone.

"Searching..."

Just then, a plaintive voice rang out from the side.

"Searching".

Little Treasure Hunter turned his head and saw his stand-in looking at him resentfully, with an expression that said, "I almost forgot about you," and called out.

The next second, the stand-in disappeared.

……

The next day, early morning.

At the dining table in the living room, Josan enjoyed the food that Teacher Michaela had bought that morning, but his mind was not on the food.

These past two days, Ya Bao has been purifying the curse. She now has a pretty good understanding of the power of the Holy Fire to remove curses. If she keeps doing curse removal tasks, it would be a waste of time.

Holy Fire is a super-level skill, and it consumes a lot of energy to use it once. Even if you practice Holy Fire with a clone, it will take a certain amount of time to reach the minor mastery level.

Or we could just use points to raise the proficiency of Holy Fire to the minor mastery level and see if it produces a burning sensation or any other effects...

Just then, Michaela asked:

What did you learn yesterday?

Qiao Sang gathered her thoughts and said:

"Ya Bao is breaking the curse much faster; it feels like the power of the Holy Fire is increasing."

Michaela was taken aback upon hearing this:
"There's already been progress?"

Qiao Sang hummed in agreement: "That's how I feel."

If we don't make progress now, it's hard to say what will happen when the sacred fire starts to burn.

Michaela paused for a moment, and his first thought was:

You've only been training this skill for a few days, and you can already feel the improvement?

Then came the second thought: This also seems reasonable when it comes to Qiao Sang and Ya Bao...

Michael quickly accepted the claim that the Holy Fire had improved, then, as if struck by a thought, asked:

"What about Thunder Dragon?"

Tingbao continued to devour the energy pills, seemingly oblivious to the discussion about him.

“Tingbao.” Qiao Sang got excited when she talked about this, and immediately began to recount the scene of Tingbao taking on eight opponents by himself yesterday.

Tingbao listened intently while eating his energy pills.

Is this little guy really that powerful? The Dragon King glanced at Tingbao.

As Qiao Sang got into the conversation, she recounted how Qing Bao had found Xiao Xun Bao and Ting Bao the day before.

"Search?"

Little Treasure Seeker looked at Qingbao with a shocked expression.

Can you communicate with the crowd?
"Qingqing."

Qingbao held his head high and puffed out his chest, revealing an expression that said, "What's so difficult about this?"

"You said Qingyun Nainai can communicate with the wind?" Michaela asked.

Qiao Sang hummed in agreement: "Xia Lala told us this."

"Xia Xia."

Xia Lala swallowed what was in her mouth and made a sound.

Even if it doesn't say it, Qingbao will eventually find out that it has this ability.

"Qingqing."

Qingbao called out to Xia Lala sweetly.

Xia Lala smiled back at Qingbao.

Michael pondered for a moment, then said:
"Since Qingyun Nainai can communicate with the wind, have you ever thought about finding the Sun Crystal through the wind?"

Finding the Sun Crystal through the wind... Qiao Sang was stunned:

"Is this okay?"

Michaela laughed, "How will you know if you don't try?" (End of Chapter)
