Beast Taming Starts from Zero

Soon, the Beast Taming Manual turned to the page about Steel Treasure.

【Name: Steel Power Imperial Throne】

[Attributes: Steel, Flight]

[Level: Royal (0.1 billion/1 million)+]

……

[Skill: ...Skywing Blade (Beginner 2/100)+]

Sigh, no new defensive skills have been added... Qiao Sang's gaze quickly fell on the last line of the skill list, and when he saw that the last skill that appeared was still Skywing Blade, he couldn't help but sigh in disappointment.

In order to be able to eat the Blunt Stone, Steel Treasure spent a lot of time learning Abyss Bite and even trained it to the ultimate level, but unexpectedly, he didn't even awaken a mid-level defensive skill.

"Steel Power".

In a flash of thought, Steelbao barked, indicating that it was alright. At least it had learned Abyss Bite, and this evolution had awakened two super-tier skills, so it was already quite satisfied.

That's true. One of the two super-level skills is absolute defense. Even if Steel Treasure awakens a new defensive skill by consuming Blunt Stone, it's impossible for it to be stronger than this one... Qiao Sang quickly adjusted his mindset and subconsciously looked at the data that had been skipped earlier.

The trait level doesn't seem to have changed even after full evolution; Bond Power is still S-rank... Speaking of which, S-rank is already the highest trait level, and Steelix's Bond Power is even set to (MAX), with no room for improvement. So, does that mean Steelix's next evolution path won't rely on Bond Power?
Wait… Qiao Sang suddenly remembered something and her heart skipped a beat.

Jujiji had seen Gangbao's future; the evolution from Emperor-level to King-level still relied on the power of bonds.

Given this, with its already maxed-out Bond Power, can Steelball undergo temporary evolution simply by relying on Bond Power as long as it has enough energy at the Emperor level?

As she thought about it, her gaze drifted downwards.

Suddenly, Qiao Sang saw something, her thoughts stopped abruptly, her expression froze for a moment, and then she was overjoyed.

Behind the eighth characteristic, Steel Heart, the ninth characteristic suddenly appeared!
Ninth characteristic: Sound insulation
Rank: A (1/10000), Status: (Exceptionally useful), Description: (Immune to damage and effects from any sound-based skills)

Soundproof! It actually awakened a soundproof property... Qiao Sang was overjoyed.

Since becoming a professional beast tamer, she has encountered many opponents who use sound-based attacks. At that time, the solution she could think of was to cover her ears and try to block out the sound.

However, this method of isolation has limited effectiveness and will not completely isolate the target. Some sound-based skills can not only damage the mind but also generate explosions, causing actual damage to the outside world, making them difficult to defend against.

It's fair to say that voice-related skills are definitely one of the skill types that give her a headache.

The power of bonds allows her to sense the damage inflicted on Steel, and the same applies to sound-based skills.

If you encounter a mental attack using sound skills, the power is too strong to resist. Not only will Steelball be affected, but your entire condition will also be affected, and it may even affect your subsequent judgment and command.

It's important to understand that at this level, even a one-second delay or a mistake in the commander's reaction could end the game immediately.

However, now that it has soundproofing properties, Steel Treasure no longer needs to worry about these kinds of skills if it encounters them.

Unexpectedly, Steel Treasure's defensive skills did not awaken, but its defensive characteristics did.

This feature is far more useful than most defensive skills.

After admiring the newly awakened characteristics for a while, Qiao Sang exited the Beast Taming Manual with satisfaction, and his consciousness returned to reality.

"Pray for rain?"

As soon as consciousness returned, Qi Yufeng cried out.

Where does it rest?

Qiao Sang was taken aback for a moment: "Right here?"

"Praying for rain."

Qi Yufeng showed a disgusted expression and called out, indicating that this place was so small that there wasn't even a tree, so how could it rest?

...Qiao Sang patiently explained, "There are usually no trees in hotel rooms."

After saying that, she thought of something and suggested, "There's another room next door, why don't you stay in one by yourself?"

"Praying for rain."

Without a second thought, Qi Yufeng shouted, indicating that it was no good, because Yin Panling had told her to stay with her at all times.

Upon hearing this, Qiao Sang recalled the previous scene and her gossipy nature was ignited. She asked, "What is your relationship with Yin Panling?"

Xiao Xunbao and Qingbao both perked up their ears, revealing the same gossipy expressions as their beast tamer.

"Praying for rain."

Qi Yufeng was stunned for a moment, seemingly not expecting to be asked this question. It hesitated for a moment, then realized what it meant, managed its expression, and barked to indicate that it was none of your business.

"Do you like it?" Qiao Sang asked again.

She was deeply impressed by Qi Yufeng's previous sycophantic behavior. If Yin Panling's strength was simply stronger than Qi Yufeng's, she thought Qi Yufeng wouldn't have acted that way.

The lonely man by the window, feeling melancholy, suddenly became sensitive upon hearing the word "like" and turned to look at her.

"Pray for rain?"

Qi Yufeng was shocked.

how do you know?

Sure enough… Qiao Sang smiled and said, “Because your affection is too obvious.”

She can't very well say it's because you look like a total simp.

"Praying for rain."

Qi Yufeng became coy again, then suddenly seemed to remember something, gave a warning look, and barked, indicating that this matter should not be told to anyone else, and should only be known to you and me.

Qiao Sang paused for a moment, then turned to look at Ya Bao, then at Xiao Xun Bao, Qing Bao, Lu Bao, Gang Bao, Ting Bao, Xia Lala, and Ji Si Dan...

"Pray for rain!"

Qi Yufeng followed her gaze and looked around, then realized something and called out again to make amends.

Only I and you know this!
Meanwhile, in another room, Penjami, who was just about to go to sleep, opened her eyes, glanced at the Dragon King next to her, and her eyes glowed blue.

The transparent barrier instantly enveloped the entire room, cutting off all sound and movement.

"Grind it!"

Almost as soon as the barrier was fully in place, the Dragon King laughed heartily, revealing a mocking expression, and shouted, indicating that he did not expect Qi Yufeng, who was already so old, to still talk about whether she liked it or not.

Sure enough, thankfully it blocked out the sound quickly enough... Penjami closed her eyes again.

On the other side, Qiao Sang hummed in agreement and said:
"Don't worry, I won't tell anyone."

"Search?"

Little Treasure showed a curious expression and called out, indicating that she liked Yin Panling but couldn't let others know.

"Praying for rain..."

Qi Yufeng sighed and called out.

Because Yinpanling didn't agree to my request, it also forbade me to tell anyone.

Little Treasure Hunter doesn't understand.

I understand not agreeing, but should we also forbid others from knowing...? Qiao Sang doesn't understand either.

"Praying for rain."

Qi Yufeng remembered its business and called out, indicating that it wanted a tree in the room.

Qiao Sang stopped her gossipy thoughts and sighed, "But there are no trees in this room. Even if you go to another hotel, those hotels won't have trees in their rooms."

"Praying for rain."

Qi Yufeng revealed this simple expression and called out.

After saying that, it flapped its wings and came to the window, shouting, "Pray for rain!"

Invisible sound waves rippled outwards.

About three minutes later, a yellow flying-type pet, about two meters tall, carrying a green pet whose entire body resembled a leaf, stopped by the window.

“Susu.”

The creature, as if a pet of a leaf, leaped from the window into the room and respectfully called out to Qi Yufeng.

"Praying for rain."

Qi Yufeng maintained her boss-like demeanor and called out, indicating that she could simply grow trees here.

A tree? Xia Lala's eyes lit up.

Upon hearing the conversation, Qiao Sang quickly called out:
"and many more!"

Qi Yufeng and her pet, whose body seemed to be made of leaves, looked over. Qiao Sang said tactfully, "If a tree grows in the room, Ya Bao and the others might have difficulty moving around."

Ya Bao was stunned for a moment.

Will it make it difficult to move around?

It didn't seem to care, since it usually trained outside and spent most of its time sleeping in bed when it came back.

However, since even their own beast tamer said it was inconvenient, then it must be inconvenient.

"Ya Ya!"

Thinking of this, Ya Bao nodded in agreement.

That's it.

Qi Yufeng frowned, about to say something, when Qiao Sang continued:
"Why don't you stay in the empty room next door? That way you'll have more space to rest. Besides, you're an Emperor-level pet beast, so if we make any noise, even though it's just a door away, you'll definitely be able to detect it immediately with your abilities."

"Steel Power".

Steel Treasure pointed at Little Treasure with its wings and added a cry.

Besides, my eldest doesn't sleep at night and likes to play on his phone, so if he sleeps in this room at night, it will disturb you.

"Looking around~"

Little Treasure Hunter only heard the words "Boss," and then stood tall and proud.

Qi Yufeng thought about it for a moment, and felt that what was said made sense. She showed an expression of "then let's do it this way," and called out:
"Praying for rain."

After saying that, it flapped its wings and went to the room next door.

The body, as if the leaf's pet, quickly followed.

Before long, a rich green light shone in the next room, and a tree appeared out of thin air.

The trees grew wildly, their branches and leaves sprouting and spreading like crazy.

In just a few seconds, most of the room next door was completely obscured by the trees.

Suddenly, a tree branch extended out and closed the door.

Qi Yufeng and her body seemed to be the pet of the leaves and did not come out again.

"Search?"

Little Treasure peeked its head into the door next door, then popped it back out, letting out a curious cry, as if to say, "Did that pet just turn into a tree?"

Qiao Sang hummed in agreement and explained:
"That was a baby leaf with two forms: a normal form and a growth form. When it transformed into its growth form, it became a tree, basking in the sunlight to help it grow faster."

"Looking around~"

Upon hearing this, Little Treasure Hunter's eyes lit up, expressing how amazing it was.

Qiao Sang smiled and said, "Some pets also have a battle form, which changes its form during battle."

I only learned this recently from reading related books.

There aren't many pets that can change their form without evolving. Since becoming a professional beast tamer, she has only seen one, which is the Su Ye Baby that was just summoned by Qi Yu Feng.

"Search!"

Little Treasure Hunter showed an excited expression and called out.

It even has a battle form! That's amazing!

"Ya?"

Ya Bao showed an interested expression and barked, indicating that the battle form meant it was very strong in battle.

“It will be much stronger than its original ordinary form.” Qiao Sang said with a smile, “Don’t worry, you’ll have a chance to meet it in the future.”

Xia Lala listened to the conversation, opened her mouth, but ultimately didn't utter a sound.

Qiao Sang suddenly remembered something, looked at Gang Bao, and asked:

"Would you like to eat now?"

“Steel Power.” Steel Treasure nodded.

Qiao Sang took out the two Ranxiang fruits that Yin Panling had given him earlier from his pocket and handed them over.

Steel Treasure took it with its wings, put it directly into its mouth, chewed it twice, and swallowed it.

Then, sensing something, it found a spot to lie down, closed its eyes, and began to digest.

Qiao Sang entered the Beast Taming Codex and discovered that the value following Steel Treasure's level was rapidly increasing.

It seems that the energy contained in this fruit is indeed abundant; Steel Treasure probably won't be able to digest it all in a short time...

As Qiao Sang pondered this, her consciousness returned to reality.

"Searching..."

Little Treasure Hunter looked at Steel Treasure with its eyes closed, remembered something, gritted its teeth, took off the ring, pulled out the Death Grass from it, and stuffed it into its mouth as if it were poison.

An unpleasant smell spread throughout the room.

"Qingqing."

Qingbao showed a disgusted expression and vanished in the wind.

The flower bud on Sharara's neck trembled slightly, and its refreshing scent instantly masked the smell of the nectar grass.

Even so, there was still a slightly unpleasant smell in the room.

Lu Bao held her breath, went to the window where the water tank was placed, and sprayed blue water into it.

When Jiu Bugu, who was standing next to him, saw Lu Bao, he was startled. He then quickly took out a photo of Xiao Yan Ye Ling, buried his head in it and looked at it to calm himself down.

……

8:10 PM.

"Dong Dong~"

There was a sudden knock on the door.

“Gis”.

Giss Egg rolled to the door, stood up, and jumped up.

However, its legs were too short to reach the doorknob.

After jumping twice, Geese Egg turned its head and called out, "Geese!"

It can't reach the door.

After saying that, he fell to the ground and rolled away.

Qiao Sang walked to the door and turned the doorknob.

Jacqueline stood at the door, her expression complex, and asked:
"Has Kane the Steel Chieftain fully evolved?"

Qiao Sang smiled and hummed in agreement: "It's now called Steel Power Emperor."

Jacqueline walked in, and upon hearing the name, paused for a moment: "Royal level?"

“It’s the ultimate in extremes,” Qiao Sang explained.

Jacqueline gave an "I see" look, then, as if remembering something, she took a deep breath and asked, "Where is Teacher Michaela?"

Before Josan could answer, Michaela pushed open the door and came out of the room, greeting her, "You're here."

Jacqueline looked at Michaela as she emerged, took another deep breath, then forced a smile and asked:

"Senior, didn't you say that you were in the Soundbird Valley and needed to apply to enter, so you couldn't send Penjami to pick me up?"

Michaela sat down on the sofa and said, "When we contacted you earlier, we were indeed in Soundbird Valley. When we came out and contacted you again, you were already riding a flying-type pet, so we didn't send Penjami over."

"This is a senior, this is a senior..." Jacqueline murmured to herself, suppressing her resentment, and scanned the room.

Soon, their gaze fell on Gangbao.

"Why is Gang Quan Huangji asleep at this hour?" Jacqueline asked, surprised.

In her mind, Gangquan Huangji was a diligent and self-disciplined pet, and shouldn't be sleeping at this time.

"It ate two Elephant Fruits a few hours ago and is digesting them," Josang explained.

Jacqueline: "???" (End of Chapter)
