Beast Taming Starts from Zero

Hearing the noise, Michaela subconsciously looked up. When she saw the lightning flash across the night sky, her pupils contracted and her expression was filled with shock.

Thunder, lightning?!
As an S-rank Beast Tamer and an honorary teacher at the Imperial Beast Taming Academy, extensive knowledge is an essential quality. Not to mention high-level skills, as long as the pet's aptitude is not a problem, she also has a certain probability of personally teaching the pet super-level skills.

But what she saw still shocked her deeply.

The Thunder Dragon learned the advanced skill "Thunder Weather" just like that?

Provoked by those few words of hers?
The lightning in the night sky was fleeting, and soon the night sky returned to calm.

But Michaela still looked up, maintaining an expression that was both shocked and bewildered.

"Xia Xia?"

Xia Lala was startled. She had just fallen asleep but woke up again. She looked left and right, and finally looked up.

Qiao Sang kept a close eye on the movements above.

The lightning that appeared in the night sky was unlike the lightning power that Tingbao had used before, which was difficult to observe from a distance. It was dazzling and conspicuous, and coupled with the deafening "boom" sound, she immediately realized that it was a thunderstorm.

Thunderstorm weather...

Huh? Thunderstorm?!
Qiao Sang paused for a moment, and the first thought that flashed through her mind was:

Holy crap, Tingbao has already learned about thunder and lightning?

Then came the second thought: calm down. It's only been less than five minutes. It's a bit too far-fetched to have learned about thunderstorms in less than five minutes. Maybe it's just a rare occurrence of thunder in the sky.

Qiao Sang controlled his racing heartbeat and, as a precaution, focused his consciousness on the Beast Taming Manual, quickly turning to the page about Ting Bao.

Soon, she saw new data appear in the skills section:

[Thunderstorm Weather (Beginner 1/100)+]

Qiao Sang stared at the data, her heart racing uncontrollably.

In just five minutes, less than five minutes, Tingbao learned about thunderstorms...

This is...this is genius!

"Xia Xia!"

Just as she was getting excited, she heard Xia Lala shout from outside, and her consciousness returned to reality.

Qiao Sang looked up in the direction Xia Lala pointed.

Teacher Michaela was flying rapidly downwards, with the furious Tingbao chasing after him.

The electric arcs on Mingtingbao's body were intermittent, as if it were about to short-circuit, making it seem like even releasing an electric-type skill would be a problem, yet its expression was full of murderous intent.

“Josang, tell it that this was all your idea!” Michaela shouted.

"Tingbao, calm down! What Teacher Michaela just said was deliberately meant to provoke you!" Qiao Sang said immediately.

"Tingting!"

Tingbao wouldn't listen to a word and continued to chase after Michaela angrily.

Michael was the first to land on the ground.

Just then, a song that seemed to purify the soul suddenly rang out:

"Bingbing~ Bingbing~ Bingbingbing~ Bingbing~"

Invisible sound waves rippled outwards.

Tingbao, who was filled with anger, paused in mid-air, and his expression gradually turned peaceful.

Michaela breathed a slight sigh of relief upon seeing this.

When the singing stopped, Qiao Sang looked at Lu Bao who had appeared and said, "You're still awake?"

Now that she has received multiple reciprocal treatments and her brain is at the level of an A-grade Beast Tamer, the healing sound waves no longer have much effect on her.

"Hyotei".

Lu Bao gave a calm call, indicating that she had been woken up by the noise. There had been a lot of commotion, so she came out to check.

"It's because Tingbao has learned how to make noises caused by thunder and lightning," Qiao Sang said, bringing the good news.

"ice King?"

Lu Bao paused for a moment, looked surprised, and called out.

So fast?
It remembered that Tingbao had only been out training for a short time.

Tingbao, suspended in mid-air, remained calm, listening to the conversation with a hint of confusion.

Has it learned about thunderstorms?

“Yes,” Qiao Sang said with emotion, “I didn’t expect Tingbao to learn this skill so quickly.”

As she spoke, something occurred to her, and she looked intently at Teacher Michaela beside her, her tone both sincere and full of admiration:
"All of this is thanks to Teacher Michaela. Without you, Tingbao wouldn't have been able to learn about thunder and lightning in such a short time."

She initially thought Michaela's words were too harsh, but she never expected that just a few words would trigger such a thunderous outburst from Tingbao.

This is the training level of the honorary teachers of the Imperial Beast Taming Academy!
Lu Bao, Xia Lala, and Ting Bao all looked over at the same time.

Almost reflexively, Tingbao wanted to generate electric arcs on his body, but an inexplicable force quickly calmed his inner emotions.

"Tingting".

The arcs of electricity that were almost short-circuiting on Tingbao's body disappeared, revealing a peaceful expression, and he called out.

Thank you for your help.

Michaela couldn't understand, but combining what Josan said with the Thunder Dragon's expression, he guessed that it was expressing its gratitude.

Her eyelids twitched involuntarily, and she hesitated, wanting to speak but stopping herself. Seeing Xia Lala's "You're so amazing!" look, she suppressed what she was about to say and calmly said:

"This is what I should do."

She paused, then added, "Thunder Dragon's emotional response was also quite good."

After saying that, she couldn't help but add another sentence:
"This training method is much more effective than I expected."

It's not just much better, the effect is simply amazing, it can definitely be used as a teaching case.

In just a few minutes, through the power of language, a mid-level pet was taught advanced skills. If this were to get out, it would probably shock even the most prominent figures in the education field.

"It's mainly because you were really tough on me, teacher," Qiao Sang remarked.

She couldn't bear to hear those words that Teacher Michaela had said in the air a second time.

Michaela seemed to remember something, her eyelids twitched, and she earnestly instructed:
"Thunder Dragon is currently affected by the healing sound waves, but it can still maintain a good mindset. Once the effects of the healing sound waves wear off, you must give it a proper explanation for what I said tonight, which was only to stimulate it to generate more lightning power."

After saying that, she added, still not entirely convinced:
"Don't forget to tell it that this idea was yours."

She was naturally not afraid of the Thunder Dragon, but if it tried to attack her with all its might like it did just now, it would be quite a headache. Let alone training some skills, even getting along with it would probably be a problem.

"Tingting".

Tingbao, standing to the side, barked calmly, indicating that it understood.

You can understand now, but you might not be able to when you're fully awake... Qiao Sang recalled the scene of Tingbao chasing after Teacher Michaela with a murderous look on his face and said solemnly, "I will definitely talk to it properly, Teacher, don't worry."

Upon hearing this, Michaela felt relieved and said, "Then I'll go to sleep first. You should all go to sleep early too," before turning around and returning to his room.

She closed the door, got into bed, but tossed and turned, unable to fall asleep.

A moment later, Michaela got up, went to his desk, opened his laptop, opened a word processing software, and typed a line:

"In-depth exploration of whether verbal stimulation can help pets learn skills faster"

……

Qiao Sang carried Xia Lala, Lu Bao, and Ting Bao back to the room.

Under the influence of the healing sound waves, Tingbao maintained a peaceful state of mind.

Before long, it fell into a deep sleep, just like Sharara. Qiao Sang was so excited that he couldn't sleep.

It's still a bit unbelievable that Tingbao learned about thunder and lightning in just a few minutes.

The stimulation training was surprisingly effective; Michaela's stimulation of Tingbao far exceeded her expectations.

This was true of the previous training exercises covering extended areas of the power grid, and it was even more so during the recent training exercises on thunderstorms.

She had only ever seen one intermediate-level pet learn advanced skills in just a few minutes: Tingbao.

If Tingbao needs to train any electric-type skills in the future, it's always best to let Teacher Michael take the lead.

Various thoughts surfaced in Qiao Sang's mind. Then, she remembered something, and her consciousness entered the Beast Taming Manual, quickly turning to the page about Ting Bao.

Thunder and Lightning Weather is a high-level skill, and Tingbao is only a mid-level pet. Its proficiency in this skill is not high. Even with a cheat code that gives it a 100% success rate, the lightning under Thunder and Lightning Weather will only be one strike, just like before, which will disappear in a flash.

If you're not careful, Tingbao might miss the chance to devour something, and it might also deplete all its energy by unleashing lightning.

At that point, forget about accumulating points quickly; you'll even lose your own points.

While thinking, Qiao Sang increased Tingbao's proficiency in lightning weather from beginner to expert.

To deal with a group of mid-level pets, the mastery of lightning weather is enough to devour them. If the proficiency were higher, more energy would be required, and with the current energy in Tingbao's body, it would be difficult to unleash it.

After adding the points, Qiao Sang's consciousness returned to reality. Satisfied, she closed her eyes and drifted off to sleep.

……

"Looking around~"

In the early morning, Qiao Sang woke up to the sound of his calls.

She opened her eyes and saw Little Treasure Hunter's big face.

Qiao Sang, unfazed, asked wearily:

"what time is it?"

"Looking around~"

Little Treasure Hunter floated to the side and called out.

It was 7:10, still early... Qiao Sang turned over, just about to go back to sleep.

Then, as if remembering something, she opened her eyes, glanced at Tingbao who was still sleeping on the floor, sat up, put on her shoes, and went to the bathroom to wash up.

There are only eight days left until the end of the competition. Although Tingbao was out competing all day yesterday, he didn't accumulate as many points as he did during the thunderstorm. Today, having learned from the thunderstorm, he still needs to hurry out and find other competitors to compete with.

"Search?"

Little Treasure followed and floated into the bathroom, calling out as if inquiring.

Did Lao Liu learn about thunderstorms last night?
It actually heard the noise outside last night, but the game on its phone was at a crucial moment, so it didn't go over.

“Yes,” Qiao Sang said while brushing her teeth.

"Searching..."

Little Treasure Hunter exclaimed with a sigh.

It truly lives up to its reputation as its little brother; it learns skills just as quickly as it does...

No, it's faster than you; it learned it in just a few minutes… Jossan said:
"Go and wake Tingbao up. Let's go out and find an opponent to compete against as soon as possible."

"Looking around~"

Little Treasure Hunter nodded and floated out of the bathroom.

After rinsing her mouth, Qiao Sang began to wash her face.

"Search!"

Suddenly, Little Treasure Hunter floated in anxiously and called out.

Old Six can't be woken up!
Qiao Sang: "???"

"What happened?" Qiao Sang didn't even bother to wipe the water off her face before rushing into the room.

Tingbao was still lying on the ground with his eyes closed, looking like he was peacefully asleep.

"Teeth..."

Ya Bao just opened his eyes and yawned.

"Search!"

Little Treasure Hunter called out anxiously.

It licked the sixth dog twice, but it still didn't wake up!
Upon hearing this, Qiao Sang's first reaction was: Could it be that Tingbao slept too late last night and couldn't get up this morning?

Then a second thought came to mind:
Impossible. Even if it only slept for an hour, it would be passively awakened by Little Treasure Hunter's licking.

"Ya?"

Just then, Ya Bao, who had regained consciousness, called out.

Isn't this the same as last time? Is Tingbao going to shed its skin again?
Qiao Sang and Xiao Xunbao were both taken aback.

"Looking around~"

Little Treasure Hunter was the first to react, breathed a sigh of relief, and called out.

It was just shedding its skin! It thought something was wrong and it was terrified.

Qiao Sang suddenly turned around, strode out of the room, and called out:
"Teacher! Come quick, check if Tingbao is about to shed his skin again!"

Michael quickly arrived at the room at Jossan's call.

She first said, "Calm down. Thunder Dragon just shed its skin not long ago. The second molt won't be as quick. The reason you can't wake it up is probably because you used up too much energy last night, slept too late, and were too tired."

Then we began the inspection.

Soon, Michaela's expression turned irritable.

Good heavens, it really is shedding its skin!
"Teacher, what's going on?" Jossan asked, noticing that Teacher Michaela's expression was off.

“Shedding skin…” Michaela murmured.

Upon hearing this, Qiao Sang breathed a sigh of relief, but then sighed inwardly.

I breathed a sigh of relief because thankfully it was just peeling skin and there were no other problems.

The sigh comes as the game is already nearing its end, and if the time spent shedding skin is delayed, it will be much more difficult to become number one in points.

Michaela, being an S-rank Beastmaster and having spent time with Josang, possessed a level of resilience far beyond what ordinary people could comprehend. She quickly processed the situation, controlled her facial expression, and said:
"The Thunder Dragon's second molt should also take about a day. After the molt is complete, it will need some time to adapt."

This means that going into battle immediately after shedding your skin might not be as smooth as before.

“I know,” Jossan sighed, “but you also know that I can’t stop the competition.”

Recently, Tingbao has put in too much effort to become number one in the standings. If you ask it to rest and adjust before going out to find opponents to fight, it would never agree, and it can't bring itself to say it.

Upon hearing this, Michael said nothing more and simply stated:
"I'll contact Jacqueline first."

After saying that, he walked out of the room.

Qiao Sang glanced at Ting Bao, then returned to the bathroom to continue washing up.

Time passed slowly, and the next day, Tingbao slowly woke up and began to subconsciously move his body to shed his skin.

Qiao Sang, who had been standing by, suddenly brightened up.

Once Tingbao had finished molting, she said in a light tone:
"Congratulations on completing your second molt."

Tingbao didn't show any surprise. It seemed to have just truly woken up, looked around, and then crackling yellow arcs of electricity appeared on its body. It angrily shot out of the room like a bolt of lightning.
"Tingting!!!" (End of this chapter)
