Beast Taming Starts from Zero

As soon as Qiao Sang had a thought, the numerical value following the level changed.

[Rank: Royal (52075544/100000000)+]

Qiao Sang waited for three seconds and, seeing that the data had not changed at all, was overjoyed, finally confirming that Gang Bao had completely absorbed the energy of the Ranxiang Fruit.

She consciously exited the Beast Taming Manual, and was about to offer some words of congratulations when she suddenly remembered that Teacher Michaela was in the next room. She changed the subject, saying:
"Let's check to make sure it's been completely absorbed."

"Steel Power".

Gangbao nodded in agreement.

"Little treasure hunter," Qiao Sang called out.

"Xunxun~" Little Xunbao floated over.

"Bring out the energy detector," Qiao Sang said.

"Looking around~"

Little Treasure Hunter takes off the ring, enlarges it, and sticks his head inside.

A short while later, an energy detector was brought out.

At that moment, Michaela pushed open the door and came out, asking, "Has Steel Treasure finished absorbing the energy?"

“It’s not certain yet,” Jossan said. “We need to check the energy levels.”

Michaela sat down on the sofa, his expression not changing much.

Compared to how quickly Toothball and Steelball's new forms could evolve to the Emperor level, and how Sharara could travel with them, Steelball's energy absorption time being halved compared to other Emperor-level beings is naturally nothing special.

As soon as Qiao Sang attached the connector to Steelbao, the data on the display screen skyrocketed.

Shortly afterward, the data stopped completely.

【1209.08】

Michaela looked at the values ​​on the energy detector, his expression slightly serious.

The maximum energy of a royal-level pet is 2000 million. This value means that it is not just entering the mid-stage of the royal level, but has been in the mid-stage of the royal level for several years.

It seems that the two fruits of the natural elephant are even more effective than she had imagined...

In the early stages of a pet's development, the ratio of energy to level is roughly 100:1. However, as the level increases, it often takes several points to increase one point of energy. The later a pet's energy increases, the more difficult it becomes. Logically speaking, over 50 million points shouldn't be equivalent to over 12 million energy. But Ya Bao and the others always evolved after breaking through the energy limit. Qiao Sang already knew that Steel Bao's energy could be converted from over 50 million points.

She feigned surprise and said, "Just as Gangbao said, the energy has stabilized."

“I’ll contact Jacqueline,” Michaela said, taking out her phone and dialing a number.

Soon, the call was connected.

“Gangbao has absorbed all the energy from the Ranxiang Fruit. Come and check it out… Yes, its absorption capacity is quite strong… Okay, send me your current location and I’ll have Meimei go over there.”

It seems that Ms. Jacqueline has finally realized the importance of offering to have Penjami pick her up... Qiao Sang thought to himself with emotion.

Michaela hung up the phone, opened the location sent by the other party, placed the phone in front of Penjami, and said:
"Go here to pick up Jacqueline."

"Puff."

Penjami stared at the location for a while, her eyes gleaming with blue light.

It disappeared from the spot in about a few seconds.

"Looking around~"

Little Treasure stared at the values ​​measured by Steel Treasure, and then attached the connector to his body.

The data displayed on the energy meter reset to zero, then spiked.

After a moment, it stopped.

Little Treasure looked at the data on the screen with expectant eyes, its expression changing from anticipation to silence, and then to frustration.

"Searching..."

Little Treasure Hunt touched the ground with both paws, its head drooping, looking deeply defeated.

Its energy level is far inferior to that of the fourth brother...

"Don't worry, you'll catch up later," Qiao Sang comforted you. "Once you reach the mid-King level, you can take the King Energy Potion, and then you can reach the late stage. I've also prepared the materials for you to evolve to the Emperor level."

"Looking around~"

Upon hearing this, Little Treasure Hunter instantly regained his full power and floated up again.

At the same time, Penjami and Jacqueline appeared out of thin air in the room.

Jacqueline's complexion was rosy, and she showed no signs of the exhaustion she felt when she rushed over last time.

"Teacher, you're here." Qiao Sang greeted him.

"Gangbao is absorbing it way too fast, even half the time faster than other royal-level pets." As Jacqueline spoke, she quickly walked to Gangbao's side, put down the equipment, and said, "Let me check it out quickly."

As he spoke, he turned on the device and quickly began to check it.

Steelbao cooperated quietly.

Time passed by minute by minute.

About an hour later, Jacqueline put down the equipment and exclaimed, "The energy has been completely stabilized, and its physical attributes in all aspects are top-notch among royal-level pets, especially its defensive capabilities, which have become much stronger."

"However, it may be somewhat inferior to ordinary royal-level pets in terms of speed."

Qiao Sang wasn't particularly surprised after hearing this.

Research suggests that pets with strong defenses don't necessarily have an advantage in speed, especially since Steelbao awakened the heavy metal trait, doubling its weight.

However, increasing the power of weight-based skills is not entirely a bad thing.

"We still need to test its specific defense and speed in regular testing," Jacqueline continued. "You can continue feeding it the energy pills I prepared during Steel Treasure's temporary evolution phase. I've already been monitoring the data from the temporary evolution and the materials. The newly prepared energy pills won't take too long, about half a month."

The treatment in the Imperial Class is really good; they provide energy pills for royal-level pets so readily… Qiao Sang listened attentively and nodded:
"I see."

"Thank you for your trouble," Michaela said. "I'll have Mimi take you back."

Teacher Michaela really is the kind of person who uses you and then kicks you out... Josan thought to himself.

Jacqueline showed no dissatisfaction; on the contrary, she was somewhat flattered.

This was the first time that Senior Mikaela had offered to let Penjami take her back!

"Then I'll have to trouble you," Jacqueline said quickly.

"Goodbye, teacher," Qiao Sang said goodbye.

Jacqueline smiled at her: "Again..."

Before she could finish speaking, Penjami disappeared with her.

Qiao Sang paused for a moment, then remembered the important matter and said, "Teacher, I'll take Gangbao to train in Absolute Defense first."

Now that the Steel Treasure's energy has been fully absorbed, preparations for going to the Void Cliff should be made as soon as possible.

“I’ll go with you,” Michaela said.

Qiao Sang was stunned for a moment.

When they first started training together, Teacher Michaela would often be there to watch them train. However, as their trust in her grew, she spent less and less time watching their training.

The last time I came to watch the training was when Xiao Xunbao, Lu Bao, and Qing Bao were doing combined training.

Michaela continued, "To quickly improve your proficiency in absolute defense, you must endure unbearable attacks in order to unleash your maximum potential and energy to maintain it."

"So this time, I'll have Penjami practice with you."

"Puff."

No sooner had she finished speaking than Penjami appeared in the room.

……

Open-air training ground.

"Why don't we let Toothball attack?" Josan glanced at Penjami, recalling its previous fighting prowess, and couldn't help but suggest.

"Ya Ya!" Upon hearing this, Ya Bao wagged its tail and barked excitedly, indicating that it was quite interested in testing Gang Bao's current defensive capabilities.

“To improve the proficiency of absolute defense, the more unbearable the attacks are, the better,” Michaela said calmly. “Fen Di Duo’s attack power is very strong, but Gang Bao’s defense power is also very high. To damage Gang Bao, Fen Di Duo must use super-level skills to attack. Super-level skills require a lot of energy, so Fen Di Duo cannot use them continuously for a long time.”

"Pengami is a level higher than Gangbao, so it takes much less energy to continuously unleash damage that Gangbao cannot withstand, allowing for long-term practice. This is the optimal choice."

But Steel Treasure can increase his proficiency simply by using Absolute Defense normally! Qiao Sang cried out in his heart.

"Steel Power".

Suddenly, Steel Bao called out in his mind, indicating that it was okay, and that if he refused again, he might be suspected.

Steel Treasure… Qiao Sang sighed inwardly, but outwardly nodded, feigning acceptance of the advice.
"Then let's do as the teacher says."

"Teeth..."

Upon hearing his beast tamer say this, Ya Bao's wagging tail immediately drooped.

Seeing this, Qiao Sang comforted him:

"This is just a one-sided attack on Steel Treasure, not a battle. Don't worry, once we get the pet eggs from under the Void Cliff, you'll have plenty of opportunities to fight."

"Ya Ya!"

Toothball's eyes lit up, and its tail wagged again.

On the training field, Steelball and Penjami faced each other, hovering in the air.

Upon seeing this, Qiao Sang immediately thought of something, went to the shade under the tree by the training field, took a deep breath, sat cross-legged, and tensed his body slightly.

"Pray for rain?"

The Rain-Praying Phoenix in the tree suddenly cried out, indicating that you're so nervous about your pet training; it's not a competition.

Because attacking Steelbao is the same as attacking me… Qiao Sang explained:

"Steel Treasure is a Bond Evolution."

As an Emperor-level pet beast of a certain age, it naturally knew what Bond Evolution represented. It was stunned at first, and then showed a "you're doomed" expression.

When an Emperor-level pet attacks a Royal-level pet, even the Royal-level pet with the highest defense cannot withstand it.

On the training field, Penjame opened her mouth, and a magnificent white beam of light instantly attacked Steel Treasure.

Steel Treasure's expression was solemn. He circulated his energy, and a white armor that looked like it was tailor-made for him instantly appeared on his body, completely enveloping him.

"boom!!!"

A white beam of light exploded on Steelbao's body.

In an instant, the shockwave covered the entire training ground!

The air vibrated violently.

Hmm? It doesn't seem to hurt... Qiao Sang, who had been tense all over, was overjoyed and relaxed.

However, the next second, intense pain suddenly swept through his entire body!
"Holy crap! That hurts! It seems that under Penjami's attack, Steel Treasure's absolute defense can only withstand one second..." Josan thought subconsciously in his mind while enduring the excruciating pain.

To be honest, after training his defense on Superstar, he hadn't felt this much pain in a long time... Qiao Sang suddenly thought of something, blocked the connection between himself and Steel Treasure, and then entered the Beast Taming Codex, turned to the page about Steel Treasure, and quickly added points to it after Absolute Defense.

She stopped when she reached the level of mastery.

She had specifically researched absolute defense; when the proficiency reached a minor level, the white armor covering the entire body would become more intense and larger, making the bug too obvious.

Steel Treasure has only just begun training in absolute defense. If his proficiency were to jump two levels at once, Teacher Michaela would definitely become suspicious.

As for the absolute defense at the beginner and expert levels, as long as neither he nor Steelball say anything, Teacher Michael should not be able to detect anything...

The thought flashes through my mind.

Suddenly, "Bang!!!"

Another earth-shattering explosion.

Two seconds later, Qiao Sang was struck by excruciating pain all over her body.

A master-level absolute defense can withstand two seconds of attack from an Emperor-level pet? No, it must be that Penjami didn't use her powerful attack moves... Qiao Sang thought to himself while enduring the pain.

"boom!!!"

"boom!!!"

"boom!!!"

The deafening explosions continued to rang out.

Shockwaves came one after another.

Qiao Sang remained silent under the tree, enduring the excruciating pain.

The Rain-Praying Phoenix in the tree looked at the scene in the training ground, and then at the humans below who hadn't uttered a sound for a long time, and couldn't help but show a hint of admiration.

They're quite tolerant...

Time passed by minute by minute.

After an unknown amount of time, Michaela spoke:

"stop."

Penjami stopped attacking.

The shockwave that had spread throughout the training ground gradually dissipated, revealing Gangbao's injured figure inside.

"Do you need a rest?" Michaela asked.

Gangbao glanced at his beast tamer under the tree in the distance and nodded.

If it didn't know about the cheat system, it definitely wouldn't rest. But with the cheat system, it knows it doesn't need to take so much damage to increase its proficiency.

Their own beast tamer must have been in a lot of pain just now, if it weren't for the fear of being suspected...

“Then let’s rest,” Michaela readily agreed.

As soon as he finished speaking, a dark blue light shone on Steel Treasure.

Gangbao felt as if pure water was flowing over his body, which was incredibly comfortable.

Before long, it felt the pain was gone.

"Steel Power".

Gangbao nodded to Lubao, who was not far away, and called out to express his gratitude.

Then it seemed to remember something and called out to Lu Bao:
"Steel Power".

Let's heal our beast tamer too.

"ice King?"

Lu Bao looked at her Beastmaster in the distance, who was unharmed, with his eyes closed as if meditating, and showed a puzzled expression.

Has even your own beast tamer been injured?

Just then, Qiao Sang opened her eyes and said weakly:

"Come quickly..."

Lu Bao paused for a moment, then quickly ran over, a serious expression on her face, and cast a healing spell.

The attacks of Emperor-level pet beasts are truly unbearable for humans. Even though she only suffered a small amount of damage, she was still in excruciating pain... Under the healing of the dark blue light, Qiao Sang's expression gradually eased.

Why not let Steelbao put on a show earlier, suddenly have an epiphany while taking hits from Pengami, and then increase its absolute defense proficiency to minor mastery?

After all, there are real-life examples of pets suddenly gaining enlightenment and increasing their skill proficiency...

"Xia Xia!"

As the thought flashed through my mind, an excited voice rang out from the side.

Qiao Sang turned her head and saw Qing Bao, who had appeared out of nowhere. (End of Chapter)
