Beast Taming Starts from Zero

A bird-like bird saw this scene from a nearby tree and flapped its wings to fly into the sky.

Lu Bao glanced at the departing figure of the Sound-Bird before looking away.

“It seems we no longer need the energy detector,” Michaela remarked. “Gorilla’s absorption of the Hundred Wind Fruit is much better than I expected.”

Not all pets can fully absorb energy-rich foods. The effectiveness of absorbing energy-rich foods varies depending on the pet's talent and physique.

How could it not be good? With its cheat-like abilities, every Hundred Wind Fruit it eats is fully absorbed... Qiao Sang said with the same sentiment:

"Yeah, I thought it would have to eat all the Hundred Wind Fruits here before it could evolve."

Michaela remembered something, took out her phone, and said, "I'll contact Jacqueline first."

After saying that, he dialed the phone.

After two beeps, the call was quickly connected.
"Do you have time now... Steel Treasure is undergoing a complete evolution and needs to be checked over to prepare a new energy pill... You might need to come over yourself... I'm currently in Soundbird Valley on Bird Island, and you need an application to enter here..."

Michaela was on the phone.

During the phone call, the outline of the white light gradually increased in size, finally stopping completely when it reached a distance of over forty meters.

The white light dissipated.

A giant beast, its body covered in mostly purple, glossy feathers as hard as steel, with deep red edges on its wings that looked like giant blades, its head covered by a silver helmet with angular features, revealing a pair of dark red eyes, and silver steel armor on its neck, shoulders, and abdomen, with silver stripes around its deep red claws, appeared on the grass.

"Searching..."

Little Treasure looked up and saw Steel Treasure's eyes light up. Then, as if remembering something, it turned around, floated to the side of the Necromancer's Grass, took a deep breath, picked it up, closed its eyes, and showed an expression that said, "I'm going all out." It then stuffed the Necromancer's Grass into its mouth.

The fourth one has already evolved completely, and it needs to evolve and become stronger as soon as possible!
However, the next second, Little Treasure Hunter let out a "hiccup".

"Congratulations on your evolution." Qiao Sang looked up at the evolved Steel Treasure, her eyes smiling, and said in her heart.

"Steel Power".

In his mind, Steel Treasure responded with a smile, and then its size slowly shrank until it was about the same as its initial form.

"Ya Ya!"

Ya Bao revealed a fighting spirit and couldn't wait to bark.

"Steel Power".

Gangbao paused for a moment, then looked troubled and called out.

It still needs to hurry up and absorb energy and improve its proficiency in absolute defense.

Qiao Sang chimed in, "Yes, your battle definitely won't end anytime soon. Let's wait until the pet eggs under the Void Cliff are brought out."

"Tooth."

Ya Bao thought about it and agreed. He barked, indicating that they should wait until the pet egg was taken out before having another fight.

"Steel Power".

Gangbao nodded, offering no objection.

During the conversation, Michaela hung up the phone and said, "I've already contacted Jacqueline. We should talk to Yinpanling about leaving the valley. We can come over when we're about to descend the Void Cliff, otherwise it won't be good for training."

Qiao Sang had the same idea. Just as she was about to speak, she suddenly sensed something and looked up.

A beam of white light descended rapidly from the sky, landing on the ground and revealing Yin Panling's figure.

“Yinpan”.

Yinpanling looked at Gangbao, examined him for a moment, and showed a satisfied expression. She exclaimed, indicating that he had evolved so quickly.

"It's mainly because you gave me enough Hundred Wind Fruits," Qiao Sang said with a smile.

She wasn't surprised that Pompompurin arrived so soon after Steelix evolved, since Pompompurin was always monitoring the area.

"However, even if it evolves to the Emperor level, Steel Treasure's defensive capabilities are still insufficient to go below the Void Cliff," Qiao Sang continued.

This means that the resources needed by the Emperor-level need to be obtained again.

Although even royal-level flying-type pets can use Hundred Wind Fruit, its effect is no longer as strong. Even if the number of Hundred Wind Fruits sent earlier were multiplied by ten, it would not be enough to turn a royal-level low-grade flying-type pet into an intermediate-grade one.

“Yinpan”.

Yin Panling looked at Qiao Sang and called out.

It came here this time to deliver royal-level resources.

After saying that, he stretched out his right wing.

Two green tree fruits with sharp spiky surfaces suddenly appeared before our eyes.

What is this? Qiao Sang looked at the tree fruit in front of him, but no information about it immediately came to mind.

“How could it be an elephant fruit?” Michaela exclaimed in astonishment.

"How about a fruit?" Qiao Sang looked blank.

She was certain she had never seen this fruit in any book.

"It's a berry that greatly increases the energy of Flying-type Pokémon. It's said that even Emperor-level Flying-type Pokémon will experience a significant boost after consuming it," Michaela explained with a complex expression. "Furthermore, it greatly increases the proficiency of weather-related moves, making it a rather rare berry."

She never expected Yin Panling to be so generous, directly taking out two Ranxiang Fruits.

So these are such rare tree fruits… Qiao Sang’s eyes lit up, and he asked, “Are there only two?”

“Yinpan”.

Yin Panling glanced at her and called out softly.

Just by consuming these two pills, this little guy can reach the mid-stage of the Emperor level.

Two Ranxiang Fruits were enough to directly reach the mid-stage of the Emperor level. Yin Panling must have quite a few good things in her possession... Qiao Sang pretended to hesitate and said:

"But even at the mid-Emperor level, Steel Treasure's defense might not be enough to descend the Void Cliff. My teacher and I explored that place, and even an Emperor-level pet's substitute could only stay there for two seconds."

As she spoke, she quickly reached out and took the fruit.

Upon hearing this, Long Dawang glanced at Jia Mei and gave her a look that said, "Brother, you're so weak."

"You, a royal-level being, have the nerve to call me weak..." Penjame remained unfazed, pretending not to see the Dragon King's expression.

"Steel Power".

Gangbao nodded in agreement with his beast tamer.

“Yinpan”.

Yin Panling called out calmly, indicating that it had given all the resources it needed. As for whether the defense could be improved, that was up to you. Don't forget your promise to it; you only have six months.

Having said that, it raised its wings, ready to leave.

Qiao Sang quickly changed the subject, saying, "I will improve my defense, but we want to move out. The environment here is too good, and we might cause large-scale destruction during training."

Yin Panling scanned Ya Bao and the others one by one, nodded, and called out:
“Yinpan”.

Yes, but you'll need a pet to accompany you.

“Okay,” Qiao Sang said without hesitation.

She was being monitored by the Soundbird, and there was absolutely no problem with her. Her only intention was to change the location and open up the training.

"Yin Pan!"

Yin Panling raised her head and suddenly shouted.

Invisible sound waves rippled outwards.

Before long, a beam of blue light descended and transformed into a rain-praying phoenix.

"Pray for rain!"

It spread its wings, looked at Yin Panling, and let out an excited cry, its head unable to resist leaning towards it.

“Yinpan”.

Yinpanling raised its wings, calmly pushed its head away, and let out a cry.

"Pray for rain?"

Qi Yufeng paused for a moment, then looked at Qiao Sang and the others, seemingly only then noticing that there were two other people and a group of pet beasts present.

They actually asked Qi Yufeng to come with them... Qiao Sang was a little confused after hearing the conversation. She thought to herself, are Yin Panling and Qi Yufeng that close? They can get Qi Yufeng to help with such a small matter?

"Praying for rain..."

As the thought flashed through its mind, Qi Yufeng let out a weak cry, indicating that it did not want to go.

“Yinpan”.

Yin Panling wasn't angry; she simply called out softly, indicating that it was fine if she didn't want to go.

Just as Qiao Sang thought they were going to switch to a different pet for surveillance, Qi Yufeng suddenly cried out urgently:
"Pray for rain!"

Let it go! Fine, let it go!
For some reason, Qiao Sang sensed a sycophantic aura about Qi Yufeng.

“Yinpan”.

Yin Panling cried out and flapped her wings, flying into the sky. Qi Yufeng watched Yin Panling's figure gradually disappear into the distance, her expression slightly melancholy.

"What's going on?" Michaela, who hadn't understood a thing, looked at Qi Yufeng, who had stayed behind, and asked in a puzzled tone.

Qiao Sang immediately recounted how Yin Panling had asked Qi Yufeng to stay and follow them.

"Yin Panling let Qi Yufeng follow us?" Michaela asked in astonishment.

Qiao Sang hummed in agreement.

"Pray for rain?"

The melancholy expression on Qi Yufeng's face disappeared, and she turned her head and called out impatiently, as if to ask if she had any objections.

Penjami stepped forward without making a sound and stood in front of her own beast tamer.

Qi Yufeng frowned.

The atmosphere became somewhat tense for a moment.

Seeing that the atmosphere was not good, Qiao Sang smiled at Qi Yufeng and said, "When you're with us, can you at least pretend a little? Otherwise, with your fame, we definitely won't be able to get around outside."

Qi Yufeng's expression softened, she suppressed the upward curve of her lips, and called out:
"Praying for rain."

I'm not a celebrity, how could I not be able to participate in activities?

“But Bird Island is your territory. Everyone knows you. If they see you, they’ll definitely come over to watch,” Qiao Sang said.

"Praying for rain."

Qi Yufeng smiled and called out, indicating that they wouldn't dare to watch.

Qiao Sang naturally knew that no one dared to gather around and watch.

There is a difference between the Emperor-level pets of renowned beast tamers and wild Emperor-level pets.

The former are bound by the Beast Tamer, knowing they won't be attacked easily, while the latter act entirely on their own whims, and if they make a mistake, they might be attacked.

That was just to ease the tension.

The atmosphere indeed relaxed considerably, and Qi Yufeng called out, "Qi Yu?"

When are you leaving?

"Right away." After saying that, Qiao Sang said to Xiao Xunbao, "Xiao Xunbao, put all the remaining Hundred Wind Fruits into the ring."

“Xun, huh…”

Little Treasure Hunter swallowed the Necrophyte in his mouth, floated over with a grim expression, took off the ring, and put the Hundred Wind Fruit inside.

Soon, all the Hundred Wind Fruits were placed into the ring.

Michael nodded to Penjame.

Penjami's eyes glowed blue, and she disappeared from the spot with her group of figures.

Not far away, a pheasant flapped its wings and flew into the sky.

It passed through the forest and the river, and came to the edge of the desolate cliff.

At this moment, Yin Panling was on the edge of the cliff, gazing down.

"Music Master".

The soothing bird called out respectfully, indicating that they had left.

“Yinpan”.

Yin Panling gave a soft "I understand."

Then it seemed to remember something and called out again, "Yinpan."

They kept a close eye on their movements.

"Music master?"

The Sound-Master Bird looked puzzled and let out a cry.

Since the Rain-Praying Phoenix is ​​already with us, do we still need them to go?

“Yinpan”.

Yin Panling called out calmly.

I was just trying to get rid of it; I trust you all.

"Music Master!"

The bird immediately showed a touched expression, let out a cry, and then flapped its wings and flew away.

Yin Panling looked down at the bottom of the cliff, her eyes filled with sadness.

……

"Holy crap? That's the Rain-Praying Phoenix?!"

"It really does seem to be Qi Yufeng!"

"How could Qi Yufeng be here?!"

"Who are these two people? How come they're walking with Qi Yufeng?"

In the hotel, under the shocked gazes of everyone and their pets, Josan, Michaela, and Ya Bao returned to their room.

"Search?"

After closing the door, Little Treasure couldn't help but float to Qi Yufeng's side and call out.

Are you that popular?
"Praying for rain."

Qi Yufeng cried out; it wasn't that it was popular, but rather that everyone was afraid of it.

"Looking around~"

Little Treasure Hunter gave a "I understand" look and exclaimed.

It must be because you're too strong that everyone's afraid of you.

"Praying for rain."

Qi Yufeng looked at Xiao Xunbao and exclaimed with admiration, indicating that the little guy was quite clever.

"Looking around~"

Little Treasure grinned and called out ingratiatingly, implying that since you're so powerful, do you have any resources that Ghost-type pets can absorb?

"Praying for rain."

Qi Yufeng thought for a moment, then called out, indicating that it knew a place where there was Necrospiral Grass. This thing could increase the energy of Ghost-type pets. If you wanted it…

As it spoke, it turned its head, only to find that Little Treasure Hunter was already several meters away, shaking its head repeatedly in fear.

"Search!"

It doesn't want it! It doesn't want it!

Strange fellow… Qi Yufeng didn’t say much, and began to look around at the place where she was going to stay.

Michaela lowered his voice and asked, "What did Yin Panling say? That Qi Yufeng should follow us until we reach the Void Cliff?"

Qiao Sang nodded and said, "It should be."

Michaela fell silent.

According to her original plan, the Void Cliff was too dangerous, so she should avoid going if possible. She would find an opportunity to leave after absorbing the Steel Treasure's resources, and at worst, she would compensate Yin Panling later.

Even so, she still offended Yin Panling.

Under Qi Yufeng's watchful eye, there was a chance to leave, but doing so would mean offending two Emperor-level pet beasts at once...

Michaela gathered her thoughts, glanced at Qi Yufeng, and said, "I'll have Jiu Bugu keep you in this room with you."

Qiao Sang immediately understood that Teacher Michaela was worried about Qi Yufeng.

She paused for a moment, then said, "I think we should let Penjami stay."

Michaela refused, saying, "No, Mimi likes to sleep, and sometimes she can't react immediately when something happens."

Penjami remained silent, which was taken as agreement with her beast tamer's words.

"How did Jiu Bugu react?" Qiao Sang glanced at Jiu Bugu, who was gazing at the sky by the window, exuding an aura of loneliness.

However, she didn't say anything. Teacher Michaela was worried about Qi Yufeng, but she was quite reassured about it after hearing Qi Yufeng's conversation with Little Treasure Hunter.

After exchanging a few words, Michael led Penjami and the Dragon King back to his room.

Jiu Bugu continued to gaze at the sky, showing no interest in the departure of his beast tamer.

Qiao Sang suddenly remembered something and his consciousness entered the Beast Taming Manual.

Eating a Blunt Stone just before a pet evolves increases the probability of it awakening a defensive skill. Steel Treasure's previous evolutions were only temporary, but this is a complete evolution, so there might even be a chance it awakens another defensive skill... (End of Chapter)
