Beast Taming Starts from Zero

Michael pondered for a moment, then said:
"If Qingyun Nainai evolves into a King-level, she and Night Ring King would indeed be a good combination. However, their defense needs to be strengthened, since neither of them has high defense."

"If you want to have a better chance of winning, I still suggest that Ice Emperor Ram and Night Ring King team up. After all, Ice Emperor Ram has Healing Light, Ice Domain and Ice Armor, and is more suitable for battle in terms of any aspect."

If you want to increase your chances of winning in the assessment, then Lu Bao and Xiao Xunbao are indeed more suitable... Qiao Sang agreed inwardly.

Her primary choices were Lu Bao and Little Treasure Hunter.

"Looking around~"

Little Treasure Hunter nodded repeatedly after hearing the second half of the sentence.

That's it.

"Qingqing."

Qingbao became dissatisfied and shouted.

Once it evolves to the King level, it can team up with Lu Bao.

Why are both teams on the same list of players looking for treasure hunters?

"Looking around~"

Little Treasure Hunter puffed out his chest and let out a slightly smug shout.

Of course it's because you're not as strong as me.

Qingbao's forehead veins throbbed, and a sudden gust of wind arose around him.

But the next second, the gale disappeared.

Qingbao endured it, looked at her beast tamer with a wronged expression, and called out:
"Qingqing..."

Is it really that weak...?

"How could that be?" Qiao Sang quickly denied, "Have you forgotten how strong you were in the inherited memories? And you even won the championship in the competition not long ago, have you forgotten?"

"Qingqing?"

Qingbao's eyes lit up at first, then dimmed, and then it showed a cautious expression and let out a cry.

If it becomes a King-level beast tamer before taking the A-level beast tamer exam, can it participate in the 2V2 doubles exam?
"Steel Chief..."

Steel Treasure called out in his mind.

It's fake.

"I know, but we need to give Qingbao the motivation to become stronger, right?" Qiao Sang sighed inwardly, but answered seriously on the surface:
"If you evolve to the King level before the assessment, and you coordinate well in the doubles battle, I will definitely give priority to combinations with you. I am confident in your strength, otherwise I would not have thought of having you participate in the assessment battle."

Actually, there's another reason why Qingbao wants to fight: it has fought far fewer times compared to Yabao and the others.

Although it's a doubles battle, unlike the full-scale battle mode that professional beast tamers often participate in, this is still an assessment for A-level professional beast tamers, and its difficulty level is absolutely hellish.

Even if Qingbao loses the assessment, the combat experience will definitely be of great benefit to him.

"Clear!"

Qingbao showed a happy expression and called out.

Where its own beast tamer couldn't see, it gave Little Treasure Hunter a smug look.

"What a pretentious act..." Little Treasure's lips twitched.

It glanced at Giss Egg, who was watching the game, and had an urge to tell the egg to reveal Qingbao's true colors right now.

Michaela overheard the conversation, looked at Jossan, and reminded him:

"You should think it over carefully. The A-level Beastmaster assessment is unlike other assessments. You can only apply once a year, and there is no chance to retake it. Once you fail, you can only apply again the following year."

Just as Qiao Sang was about to speak, Qing Bao, who was standing to the side, heard this and suddenly shrank back, letting out a cry:
"Qingqing..."

Maybe it's better if it doesn't participate in the assessment.

Although it was reluctant to admit it, it clearly understood that it did not have Lu Baoqiang, nor did it have Xiao Xun Baoqiang.

It cannot allow its own beast tamer's success rate in the assessment to decrease just to spite Little Treasure Hunt.

Only one application per year? That's taking way too long.

This time, Qingbao wasn't faking it... Qiao Sang clearly sensed this, and first said to Teacher Michaela, "I've made up my mind."

Then he looked at Qingbao and said:

"Don't feel pressured. As I said, I'll only consider letting you play if you evolve to the King level and cooperate well in doubles battles."

She paused, then added, "In other words, I only let you play because I saw a chance of winning."

Upon hearing this, Michael said nothing more.

This statement already indicates that Qiao Sang will not make an impulsive choice.

"Qingqing?"

Qingbao hesitated for a moment, then called out.

Does it have a chance of winning?

Qiao Sang chuckled and said, "When did you become so doubtful of your own abilities?"

Qingbao hesitated, as if he wanted to say something but then stopped.

It's not that it doesn't believe in its own abilities, but rather that it's afraid of messing up the assessment that can only be applied for once a year.

"Don't worry." Qiao Sang repeated what he had said earlier: "If you go on the field, it's definitely because I see a chance of winning."

Her expression was full of confidence, which inexplicably made Qingbao feel confident as well.

"Qingqing."

Qingbao smiled sweetly and nodded.

It will try its best.

Immediately, Qingbao thought of something and called out:
"Qingqing."

Could we get another bottle of King's Energy Potion? That way, when it evolves to the King level, it will have more energy before the assessment.

Qiao Sang was stunned for a moment.

This was something she didn't expect.

That makes sense, the energy difference between the early and middle stages of the King level is enormous. If Qingbao really wants to participate in the assessment, the effect will definitely be better after taking the King Energy Potion.

Now that I'm already at Yantian University, why not get another bottle...? Qiao Sang nodded and said:

"Let me try."

After saying that, he took out his phone, opened the "sex hooker's" contact information, and sent a voice message:
"Could you find another bottle of Wang Neng potion for me?"

Two seconds later, the phone vibrated.

[Seduction Techniques: (Image)]

Qiao Sang clicked to take a look.

This is a screenshot showing the points balance: 112.

Immediately afterwards, the other party sent a voice message.

Qiao Sang clicked on it.

"Love..."

I have no points left to redeem, and I only have one chance to redeem...

Then, a crying emoji was sent.

Wow, you're pretty good with your phone, even sending emojis... Qiao Sang sent a voice message:
"You don't need to use your points to redeem it. You can help me send out the news I mentioned last time, or if you have any classmates who need Healing Light treatment, you can come to me directly to trade."

No sooner had the words left his mouth than a voice rang out from the side:

"You possess the Light of Healing?"

The speaker was a blonde woman sitting next to me, who looked to be in her thirties.

Qiao Sang turned her head, saw the purple light emanating from the other person's eyes, and said with a speechless expression:
"Why are you here again?"

During this time, a person named Xia Huo would occasionally possess the people around her and talk to them.

"I just took some time out of my busy schedule to watch the game," the woman said with a smile. "You still haven't answered my question."

"My Pet Club," Qiao Sang asked, "What, do you need treatment?"

The woman waved her hand: "I'm perfectly healthy, but I haven't experienced what it's like to be healed by the Light of Healing yet. You can give it a try."

"Okay," Qiao Sang said calmly, "Give me a bottle of King Energy Potion."

"Sure," the woman readily agreed.

Her tone was casual, as if Wang Neng's medicine was nothing to worry about.

Qiao Sang was taken aback: "Are you serious?"

"Do I look like I'm joking?" the woman laughed.

"You've never bought Wang Neng's potion before?" Qiao Sang asked.

"I've bought it," the woman said. "I know what you're asking. There's no purchase limit in our class; you can exchange it freely."

"A big spender on points... No wonder they're from Yan Class, they get different treatment than people from other classes..." Qiao Sang said, "Okay, if you give me the Wang Neng potion, I'll cast Healing Light on you."

Since the other party doesn't care about wasting points, there's no need for me to stop them.

"I'm not in Yan Kingdom right now," the woman said while watching the match. "But I have a pet beast at the school; I'll have it bring you the potion."

Qiao Sang raised an eyebrow and said, "You weren't even here, yet you're already planning to give me the potion?"

The woman glanced at her and smiled:

"You're just a 17-year-old B-rank Beast Tamer, do you think I'm afraid you'll run away? I told you, one day, we'll truly meet." After saying that, the woman's eyes returned to their usual blue.

Her face immediately turned ugly, and she shifted her position to the side.

But the next second, the woman's eyes regained their purple glow, she moved her hips back, turned her head, and smiled:
"Wait for me in an hour at the base of Sharara's statue."

The statue of Sharara is one of the famous landmarks of Yantian University. It is located in the College of Pets and Nature. Qiao Sang took Sharara to see it during the first two days after arriving at Yantian University.

After the woman finished speaking, her eyes returned to normal, but her expression turned extremely unpleasant.

She looked at Qiao Sang, as if she wanted to get angry but didn't dare to.

But soon, she mustered her courage and opened her mouth:
"you……"

Before he could finish speaking, Qiao Sang interrupted, "The one possessing you is Xia Huo from your school's Yan Class."

The woman's voice stopped abruptly. She was stunned for a moment, then a strange excitement appeared on her face. She took out her phone and started typing rapidly.

Qiao Sang, with her sharp eyes, noticed the line of text the other party had sent:

【Aaaaaah! I've been possessed by Xia Huo!】

Immediately afterwards, she sent a series of "spinning and jumping" emojis, looking extremely excited.

Qiao Sang: "???"

Although she knew that Yan Ban held a special place in the hearts of Yantian University students, she was still somewhat shocked to see the other party's expression change.

At this moment, Michael spoke:

"Put the Wang Neng potion they gave us aside for now, and have it checked by Jacqueline later."

Qiao Sang paused for a moment, then nodded and said, "I understand."

……

after an hour.

Pet and Nature Academy.

A six-meter-tall statue, looking exactly like Sharara, stands among the grass and trees.

Its head was slightly raised, and it had a smiling expression, as if it was enjoying its surroundings.

The fresh-faced, cattail-like Sharara couldn't resist floating over and reaching out her paw to touch it.

"Bone!"

A sharp voice rang out.

do not move!

The fresh-faced Xia Lala stopped what she was doing.

Qiao Sang looked in the direction of the sound.

A black skull-shaped pet with two clusters of dark red flames in its empty eyes floated over quickly, glared at Sharara with displeasure, and barked:
"Bone!"

Who gave you permission to touch the statue of Sharara?!
Hey, hey, hey, do you know who's in front of you... Qiao Sang suppressed the urge to speak.

Xia Lala sensed that the other party seemed angry, paused for a moment, and floated back.

The black skull-headed pet looked over, and when it saw Qiao Sang, the dark red flames in its eyes flickered, revealing a scrutinizing expression. Then it snorted and threw a bottle of potion over.

Qiao Sang looked up and accurately took it.

She picked it up and glanced at it; it was indeed Wang Neng's medicine.

"Bone!"

"Bone!"

The pet with the black skull barked twice in dissatisfaction.

I've brought the Wang Neng potion. Also, this is a statue of Xia Lala, a great and supreme being of our Yan Tian Star, which is not to be touched!

Upon hearing this, Xia Lala showed a slightly shy expression.

It was a little embarrassed by the praise.

"Searching..."

A great and supreme being? Little Treasure Hunter floated to the side of Xia Lala, who looked like a fresh cattail, and poked her again and again with its paw.

It will touch it, it will touch it.

Xia Lala glanced helplessly at Xiao Xunbao, but didn't move.

The great and supreme being is right in front of you, you know that… Qiao Sang thought to himself, and said:
“I received Wang Neng’s potion. Go tell Xia Huo that he can come to me anytime to ask for the Light of Healing.”

"Bone?"

The black skull-headed pet did not leave, but instead let out a cry.

Are you really 17?
Qiao Sang nodded and said, "Yes."

The black skull-headed pet immediately floated over, looked at the creature with a strange gaze for several times, and then sighed:

“Bone bone”.

Pity.

"What's a pity?" Qiao Sang asked subconsciously.

"Bone Bone," the black skull-headed pet called out.

It's a pity we're not meant to be. If we had met earlier, I would definitely have made a pact with you.

Qiao Sang: "..."

Does your beast tamer know what you're thinking...?

“I already have a Ghost-type pet,” Qiao Sang said.

It means that even if I encounter you, I won't enter into a contract.

The black skull-headed pet understood these words, looked at Little Treasure Hunter, revealed a sneer, and barked:
“Bone bone”.

How can someone whose potential is limited to the Emperor level compare to me?

Qingbao frowned unhappily beside him.

What is this guy? Even Little Treasure Hunt is stronger than this legendary pet beast. How can it not be compared to it?

It didn't speak; only the wind around it inexplicably began to blow.

"Search!"

Little Treasure was startled by the sudden gust of wind, glanced in the direction of Qingbao, then put its hands on its hips, looked at the black skull-headed pet, and barked unhappily.

Who says it can only go up to the Emperor level!
The black skull-headed pet gave it a disdainful look and turned to leave.

At this moment, Qiao Sang spoke up:

"Bonefire King, how about we make a bet?"

Bonefire King is a Ghost-type King-level pet. The flames within its bones can burn the souls of living beings. More importantly, it also possesses an ability similar to language imprinting. It is said that the words it speaks will be deeply remembered, like an imprint. Pets influenced by language will be unconsciously affected by the words and then trapped under those words for life.

It's like PUA, using psychological control on the target.

She recognized the pet beast in front of her at first glance.

To be honest, she wasn't sure if the other person had just used that ability.

However, it's easy to find out if someone has this ability: just observe whether the target is affected by their words.

"Bone?"

Bonefire King turned his head and called out.

What to bet on?
"I'll bet on who will evolve to the Emperor level first, you or Little Treasure Hunter," Qiao Sang said.

"Bone?"

Bonefire King looked puzzled and called out.

Who is Little Treasure Hunter?
"Search!"

Little Treasure Hunter floated forward a step.

It's down there!

It seems the Bonefire King doesn't have the ability to use language imprints... Qiao Sang breathed a sigh of relief seeing that Little Treasure Hunter remained confident.

The Bonefire King was silent for a moment, then suddenly burst into laughter. After it had finished laughing, it let out a cry:
"Bone?"

What to bet on?
"Regardless of who wins, let the other side make one request, okay?" Qiao Sang said.

“Bone bone”.

Bonefire King let out a cheerful shout.

Ok.

After saying that, he glanced at Xiao Xunbao with disdain, then turned and left.

Little Treasure pouted, watching the Bonefire King's departing figure with dissatisfaction.

"Clear!"

Suddenly, Qingbao called out from the side.

Win it, little treasure hunt!
"Search!"

Little Treasure Hunter nodded vigorously.

It will!
They were united in their hatred, glaring simultaneously at the departing Bonefire King, their tacit agreement seemingly unaffected by any previous annoyance. (End of Chapter)
