Beast Taming Starts from Zero

It means you can practice at night without sleeping now, but once the competition is over, you have to go to sleep at night.

Tingbao understood, his eyes lit up, and he quickly nodded:
"Tingting!"

Then, it happily curled its beast tamer's body with its tail and tossed it into the air.

Qiao Sang was caught off guard for a moment, then quickly recovered, smiled, turned around, landed steadily on the ground, controlled her facial expression, and said in a calm tone:

"Stop playing for now, let's train."

"Tingting." Tingbao nodded with a serious expression.

Then it looked at the beast tamer in front of it, seemed to realize something, paused for a moment, and then cried out:
"Tingting?"

Are you staying too?
"Of course," Qiao Sang smiled. "I'm your beast tamer. Besides, do you know how to practice with thunder and lightning?"

"Tingting".

Tingbao shook his head honestly.

Then, thinking that its beast tamer would train with it, it became happy again, and with a flick of its tail, it was about to coil towards its beast tamer once more.

Qiao Sang nimbly jumped back a big step, dodging Tingbao's tail, and said, "Stop, don't get too excited yet. The most important thing now is training."

"Tingting".

Tingbao's happy expression faded, and he nodded.

"Tingting?"

Then, it looked inquisitive and cried out, "How do I train for thunderstorms?"

"You need to continuously spread the power of lightning within your body into the clouds," Qiao Sang said. "When the intensity of the lightning you release exceeds the air insulation threshold, there is a certain chance of generating thunderstorms."

After learning that Tingbao had the idea of ​​practicing lightning weather, although she did not agree with it using the time of staying up at night to practice, she also felt that it would be good for Tingbao to learn this skill in the future.

After all, it has the Thunder Absorption ability, and learning Thunder Weather is very beneficial both in battle and in peacetime.

So, during her evening rest, she took the opportunity to consult with Teacher Michaela and look up information about thunderstorms in books to prepare for Tingbao's future practice. She just didn't expect to need it so soon.

To successfully learn the Thunder Weather skill, the most important thing is that the pet using the skill must possess powerful lightning energy. Tingbao is only a mid-level pet, and the lightning energy within its body cannot exceed the critical point of air insulation. This is one of the main reasons why low-level pets are basically unable to learn high-level skills, as their internal energy is not strong enough.

"Tingting".

Tingbao nodded with a serious expression, then twisted his body in preparation for flying into the sky.

"Wait a minute," Qiao Sang stopped him.

"Tingting?"

Tingbao stopped what she was doing and turned to look at her.

"Little Treasure Hunter." Qiao Sang didn't answer why, but called out first.

Little Treasure, who was playing on his phone in the living room, heard the sound, put down his phone without hesitation, and teleported to his beast tamer's side.

It knew that if things went wrong at this time, its own beast tamer might take the phone back.

"Looking around~"

Little Treasure Hunter gave a look that said, "Just tell me what you need."

"Find the bottle labeled 'Violent Potion' and take it out," Qiao Sang said.

The Energy Boosting Agent can increase the body's energy to a level that it can handle within a certain period of time, without causing harm to the body.

Since they were going to practice, she naturally wouldn't let Tingbao waste his time.

If the energy within Tingbao's body surges to a certain level, reaching the energy conditions required to unleash lightning weather, then Tingbao might actually learn how to use lightning weather.

With its cheat code, if Tingbao happens to successfully unleash a lightning weather effect even once, it will have completely learned the skill.

"Looking around~"

Little Treasure Hunter took off the ring, enlarged it, and stuck his whole head inside to search for it.

Before long, it took out a box of medicine.

Qiao Sang took it, opened it, and saw that it was full of growth-boosting potions.

She picked it up and checked the effective duration of the growth potion:
One hour

An hour is enough time for the pet free-point battle tournament to end...

In a flash of thought, Little Treasure Hunter blinked and called out:
"Looking around~"

Is there anything else you need to tell me?

“That’s all,” Qiao Sang said.

Upon hearing this, Little Treasure Hunter vanished from the spot without a second's delay and returned to the living room.

"Tingting?"

Tingbao looked at the potion with a curious expression and called out.

what is this?
"Something that will temporarily boost your energy," Jossan said, handing over the vial. "Drink it."

Tingbao didn't ask why, and simply used its tail to curl the medicine bottle over and pour it into its mouth.

Soon, streaks of yellow electricity appeared on its body without its knowledge.

This is a sign that the body's energy has suddenly overflowed, to the point of being somewhat out of control.

“Go ahead, do as I told you before,” Qiao Sang said seriously.

"Tingting".

Tingbao nodded vigorously, then twisted his body and quickly flew into the air.

In the deep night sky, only a yellow dot could be seen flashing.

Time is running out... Tingbao looked serious as he stood in the clouds.

"Tingting!!!"

It swung its tail and roared, the yellow arcs of electricity flashing on its body suddenly expanding and exploding outwards with its roar.

From below, Qiao Sang could only see a faint yellow light flashing; he couldn't see anything else.

There's no need to worry about waking up Ya Bao and the others with this noise...

Just as he was thinking, there were footsteps behind him.

Josang turned around and saw that it was Teacher Michaela, and couldn't help but ask in surprise:

"Why are you here?"

“I should be asking you that,” Michaela said, looking up at the sky. “Why are you still training with Thunder Dragon at this hour?”

As an S-rank beast tamer, she could actually go for long periods without sleeping. She had already heard the commotion when Tingbao left her room and arrived at the open-air training ground.

Qiao Sang said helplessly:
"Isn't this what it wants to practice? Rather than letting it practice secretly behind my back, I might as well practice with it and give it some pointers."

"As a professional beast tamer, you must manage your pet's training time well," Michaela instructed.

Qiao Sang suddenly thought of a question: "Were the Dragon King and the others under control before?"

Michaela paused for a moment, then changed the subject: "It's one in ten thousand for an intermediate-level pet to learn a high-level skill. I can't say it's completely impossible, but it's absolutely impossible for it to learn lightning weather within nine days."

The idea is to persuade Tingbao to stop coming to training late at night instead of sleeping.

“Where is the nine days left?” Qiao Sang sighed. “There are only eight days left until the competition officially ends. Tingbao’s goal is to learn how to use the lightning weather during the competition to quickly accumulate points. If it only learns it in the last two days, how will it be able to use this skill?”

After saying that, she seemed to have thought of something and looked intently at Teacher Michaela.

Michaela noticed the look in her eyes and suddenly had a bad feeling. He remained outwardly calm and said:

"Then let Thunder Dragon train hard. I'm going to sleep now."

Just as she was about to leave, Qiao Sang grabbed her hand and chuckled:

"Teacher, can you do me a favor?"

Michaela withdrew her hand: "We'll talk about everything after I wake up."

"No, teacher, we're already here." Qiao Sang grasped her hand again, trying to appease her, "If you want to sleep, I'll have Lu Bao cast a healing spell on you, and I guarantee there won't be any problems."

“No need for that. I’m just tired, and you need Healing Light? I’m not that extravagant.” Michaela withdrew her hand and said:

"Tell me, what do you want me to do?" "I want you to go around Tingbao and stimulate it," Qiao Sang stated his purpose.

Michaela: "..."

"I knew it..." Michaela's lips twitched slightly as he said, "Why provoke it? Isn't it training?"

“But the intensity of its lightning power is not strong enough,” Josang said. “If you were to stimulate it from the side, it would likely increase the lightning power it releases.”

“Even if its lightning power is enhanced, it’s impossible for it to learn lightning weather immediately at this stage,” Michaela said calmly.

If Thunder Dragon had the chance to learn about lightning weather in a short period of time, she wouldn't mind lending a hand, just like she helped Thunder Dragon's electric grid to cover the entire area before. But this time is different. No matter how much stimulation she does, it's all in vain.

“But how will we know if we don’t try?” Qiao Sang said.

Since she was going to help Tingbao train, she naturally wanted to do her best to help Tingbao unleash the most powerful lightning force.

Try it? How? Provoke the Thunder Dragon to strike? If it can't strike today, try again tomorrow? If it can't strike tomorrow, try again the day after? Keep making it strike until it learns? Michaela glanced at her, about to refuse.

"Xia Xia..."

Just then, Sharara walked over, rubbing her eyes sleepily.

"You're awake too..." Josan and Michaela looked over in surprise.

"Did I wake you up?" Michaela asked, her voice softening instinctively.

"Xia Xia."

Xia Lala yawned and barked, indicating that she hadn't been disturbed and had woken up on her own. When she woke up, she saw that Qiao Sang wasn't in the room, so she came out to check.

After saying that, he looked puzzled and called out:
"Xia Xia?"

Why aren't you all sleeping tonight?

"You want Teacher Michaela to train Tingbao?" Qiao Sang said, his eyes wide open in disbelief.

After saying that, he desperately gave Xia Lala a look that said, "Help me, help me."

Xia Lala was stunned for a moment.

Michaela: "???"

Can't I understand what Xia Lala is saying, or can't I read her expression?
Is that what it's talking about?
Just as Michaela was about to speak, Sharara nodded:

"Xia Xia."

Michaela: "..."

One minute later, Michaela appeared high in the sky.

"Tingting?"

Tingbao looked at her, frowned, and called out.

How did you come?

"Do you think I wanted to come..." Michaela thought to himself, then said calmly.
"Stop practicing, you're just wasting your time."

"Tingting!"

Tingbao immediately showed an angry expression, and the yellow arcs of electricity that were already flashing on his body intensified.

Michael continued, seemingly oblivious to her words, "You lost to the Earth Dragon, so you want to challenge it again to win. But how do you know you'll win if you challenge it again? You might just be wasting your time and suffering a second humiliation."

"Tingting!"

Tingbao finally lost his temper, and the arcs of electricity on his body suddenly turned into electric snakes, striking Michaela fiercely.

The power of lightning filled Michael's body.

When the yellow light faded, Michael was completely unharmed; not a single hair on his head had been electrocuted.

She scoffed, "Is that all the attack power you have?"

"Tingting!"

Tingbao intensified his energy, and the yellow arcs of electricity on his body struck out again.

The yellow light faded, and Michaela remained unharmed.

“I disagreed when Josang wanted to form a contract with you.” Michaela said calmly, “Her talent for taming beasts is the best I’ve ever seen in my life. If you look around, you can find a lot of beasts with better talent than you. You’re not talented, and you’re disobedient. You’re out training at night, making your beast tamer stay up all night with you. Thunder Dragon, I was right back then. You shouldn’t have formed a contract with Josang.”

...Qiao Sang listened below with trepidation, thinking to herself, "Damn, teacher, you're being too harsh. I did want to give you a jolt, but I didn't mean to push you this hard. After this training, you and Tingbao will still be seeing each other every day."

Her brain has now reached the level of an A-level Beast Tamer. As long as she concentrates and listens carefully, she can hear the sounds in the sky very clearly.

“Tingting…”

Tingbao showed an angry expression.

This time, however, it did not immediately concentrate the lightning to strike, but instead channeled its energy, spreading the electric arcs on its body continuously.

Michaela continues to stimulate:

“Josang spoils you, but as her teacher, I can’t let her spoil you like this. With your current level and energy, practicing lightning power is just a waste of time…”

Before he could finish speaking, a rather thick bolt of lightning struck down fiercely.

The power really does get stronger with each attack… Once the Thunder Dragon's energy is almost depleted, she can go back to sleep… Michaela sensed it, a mocking expression on her face, and said:
"Your strength is too weak to hurt me at all. What can you do now besides wasting your energy?"

“Tingting…”

Tingbao's expression grew increasingly grim.

"Xia Xia?"

Xia Lala, unable to hear the commotion above, looked curious and called out, "Aren't you Tingbao's beast tamer? Why is it Michaela training Tingbao, and not you?"

“I can’t get up there.” Qiao Sang guessed what it meant from Xia Lala’s expression. While keeping an eye on the movements above, she said, “Besides, it’s no use for me to go up. Only Teacher Michaela can do this kind of training.”

After saying that, she seemed to remember something and said:
"Go to sleep now, it's still early before daytime."

"Xia Xia."

Xia Lala shook her head.

It also wants to stay here.

He yawned as soon as he finished speaking.

Qiao Sang realized that Xia Lala wanted to stay with him, and his heart softened. He bent down, picked her up, and said gently:

"If you want to stay here, just lean against me and sleep."

"Xia Xia..."

Feeling the warmth in her arms, Xia Lala finally couldn't resist, closed her eyes, and fell asleep.

In the night sky, Michael looked down and sneered:

“Even pets like Xia Lala like Qiao Sang. You just happened to appear at a good time. If Qiao Sang hadn’t broken through her brain so early and created a new contract position, I believe she would have chosen a better pet.”

Tingbao looked down and saw a heartwarming scene of his own beast tamer holding Xia Lala.

“Don’t they look more harmonious together than you do?” Michaela said.

"Tingting!!!"

Tingbao could no longer bear it and let out an extremely angry roar, channeling his energy to its fullest extent.

During operation, it suddenly felt a certain constraint within its body disappear, and its energy greatly increased.

"Zizi~"

The yellow lightning power surged, and the powerful lightning suddenly struck towards the direction where Michaela was.

"boom!"

With a deafening roar, the lightning that struck Michael illuminated the surrounding night sky for a moment.

Was this too much of a shock? This power doesn't seem like something a mid-level pet should possess... But after using this lightning attack, Thunder Dragon should have no energy left... Michaela thought to himself.

In the blink of an eye, a loud "boom" came from above.

Immediately afterwards, lightning streaked through the night. (End of Chapter)
