Beast Taming Starts from Zero

The rain-praying phoenix in the tree looked down, a thoughtful expression on its face.

It felt like it had heard that sound somewhere before...

Qiao Sang was taken aback at first, then looked around and, seeing no sign of Xia Lala, turned to Qing Bao again, asking uncertainly:

"Did you make that sound just now?"

"Xia Xia!"

Qingbao nodded repeatedly.

It's me! It's me!

After saying that, it suddenly remembered something, showed a shy expression, and let out a cry:
"Xia Xia."

I don't know how it happened, but it succeeded after just a little practice today.

Qiao Sang: "..."

You've been sneaking out to practice late at night for the past month... Qiao Sang felt conflicted.

As a competent beast tamer, you definitely need to pay attention to all aspects of your pet's condition.

Qingbao has been listless every morning lately, clearly not having slept well. She didn't go out with them, but she stopped blocking out the sounds around her and let herself hear the sounds from afar.

She now has two royal-level pet beasts. When Ya Bao evolved to the royal level, her hearing was greatly enhanced again. Her own brain area is also at the level of an A-level beast tamer. If she really listens freely, she can hear all the movements of the entire Flying Bird Island.

However, this made the sounds too noisy, so she usually blocked out sounds from within a few hundred meters.

Once her hearing was activated, she easily knew that Qingbao was secretly going out to practice the languages ​​of other races, and that Xia Lala was going out with him every night to practice together.

Considering Qingbao's strong sense of pride, she pretended not to know and didn't expose her, but simply asked Lubao to help with the treatment every morning.

Unexpectedly, Qingbao finally learned the languages ​​of other races, but the language he learned was that of Shalara...

But then again, it makes sense, since Xia Lala keeps calling "Xia, Xia, Xia" in its ear in the middle of the night every day...

In a flash of thought, Qi Yufeng suddenly flew down from the tree, looked at Qingbao, and exclaimed in shock:
"Praying for rain?!"

Isn't this Sharara's language? Where did you learn it?!
Just as Qingbao was about to answer, he suddenly remembered that Xia Lala's existence could not be mentioned, so he pretended to be startled and floated behind his beast tamer.

Qi Yufeng could indeed tell... Qiao Sang coughed and said:
“Qingbao’s memories include the existence of Sharara and he knows the language of this race. It is estimated that as he has inherited more and more memories, he can speak Sharara’s language.”

"Qingqing."

Qingbao responded with a cooperative shout, indicating that was the case.

Qi Yufeng revealed an "I see" expression, and looked at the pet beast in front of her, which was not very big, with a complicated expression.

The fact that Xia Lala is present in the memory inheritance suggests that this little guy is probably no ordinary person...

"Clear!"

Just then, another excited voice rang out from not far away.

Qiao Sang looked in the direction of the sound and saw Xia Lala, who looked like a fresh cattail, running towards him happily.

"Clear!"

Sharara stopped and barked excitedly, indicating that it had learned the language of another race.

"Xia Xia!"

Qingbao looked surprised and exclaimed, indicating that you learn very quickly, only a little slower than me.

Tingbao twisted her body in mid-air as she passed by.

You should be learning the language of Xianxianpu, not Qingbao… Qiao Sang’s lips twitched, she was silent for two seconds, and then, against her conscience, praised:
"You two are really amazing."

To be honest, with Tingbao, a language prodigy, ahead of them, Qingbao and Xia Lala's language learning speed really seems slow in comparison...

"Xia Xia~"

That was... Qingbao was secretly pleased, but on the surface she pretended to be shy.

"Qingqing..."

Xia Lala also showed a shy expression.

It is genuinely shy.

"Pray for rain?"

Qi Yufeng looked at the fresh-faced Xia Lala with a puzzled expression and called out, "Why are you learning its language?"
"Qingqing..."

Xia Lala couldn't answer for a moment and looked at Qiao Sang with pleading eyes.

Josang blurted out, "Because it is more interested in the languages ​​of other races."

"Qingqing."

Xia Lala quickly nodded in agreement.

What a strange bunch of guys… Qi Yufeng thought to herself, then glanced at Qingbao one last time, flapped her wings, and flew back to the tree.

Qingbao looked around, a puzzled expression on her face, and called out:
"Xia Xia?"

Where's the little treasure hunt?

Qiao Sang paused for a moment, then said, "Why don't you call back your original voice first?"

"Xia Xia."

Qingbao barked once, indicating that it had just learned it and that if it didn't practice more, it was afraid it would become rusty and forget how to say it.

"Xia Xia."

It paused, then added with a cry.

Although it learns quickly, it is also afraid.

Xia Lala looked bewildered.

Soon?
If I didn't know you practiced every night until the wee hours, I almost would have believed you… Qiao Sang thought to herself, and said:
"The Little Treasure Hunt is on the 55th floor of the hotel, in the indoor training ground."

Penjami and Steel Treasure's training affected the entire outdoor training area, so Little Treasure went to the indoor training area.

"Xia Xia."

Qingbao barked once, indicating that it was going to find Xiao Xunbao first.

After saying that, he vanished in the wind.

Qiao Sang looked at Xia Lala, and since Qi Yufeng was in the tree, she said tactfully, "Learning Qingbao's language is not very useful. You are together every day, and if you speak the same language, you may not be able to tell who is speaking. If you are really interested in the languages ​​of other races, you should learn some more useful ones."

For example, fresh cattail shoots.

She didn't say that aloud.

Sharara understood. It paused for a moment, then nodded with a serious expression.

"Clear!"

Xia Lala is still very smart... Qiao Sang felt inexplicably gratified.

"Steel Power".

At this moment, Gangbao called out, indicating that they could continue practicing.

Qiao Sang's thoughts suddenly stopped, and her body tensed instantly.

"boom!!!"

There was a loud bang.

"Holy crap, that hurts..." A sharp pain shot through Qiao Sang's mind, and she instinctively swore.

She took a deep breath, looked at Teacher Michaela, composed her facial expression, and asked in a steady voice:

"How much longer will this training take?"

Despite the distance and the loud explosions, Michaela easily heard the sounds and said without hesitation:

"Train until Steelbao runs out of energy. Then let it absorb the energy recovery fluid and rest for a while before continuing the training."

Qiao Sang: "!!!"

1209.08 energy points! How long will it take to deplete all of this?! Qiao Sang's heart trembled.

The energy required for each super-tier skill is different. For example, Lu Bao can cast Healing Light with very little energy. The amount of energy consumed depends on the severity of the opponent's injury and the level of the pet.

As for Ya Bao, most of its super-level skills are wide-range attack skills, and even if you control them carefully, they still require a lot of energy.

Steel Treasure's Absolute Defense is similar to Lu Bao's Healing Light; the greater the damage it takes, the more energy it passively consumes.

However, it's not entirely like Healing Light, because as long as the damage is outside the range that Absolute Defense can withstand, the armor will quickly dissipate, unlike Healing Light which continuously consumes energy. This was clearly the case when Penga's attack clashed with Steel's Absolute Defense.

"boom!!!"

Another deafening explosion.

Qiao Sang took a deep breath, enduring the excruciating pain, and even broke out in a cold sweat on her forehead from the pain.

"Steel rights?"

Suddenly, Gangbao's voice rang in my mind.

Should I suggest taking another break?
"You're really something, managing to communicate with me so calmly even under Penjami's attacks..." Josan replied, severing his connection with Steelball.
"I can still bear it. If you can't, you can rest for a while."

"Steel Power".

Steel Treasure called out in his mind.

It can endure it.

Qiao Sang: "..."

As soon as she finished speaking, Penjami once again spat out a white beam of light, which accurately struck Steel Treasure.

"boom!!!"

There was a loud bang.

Feeling the sudden pain, Qiao Sang finally couldn't help but suggest in his mind, "Why don't you perform an epiphany, and I'll increase your proficiency in absolute defense?"

"Steel Power".

Steel Treasure called out calmly.

But I've only just started practicing, so this would look too fake.

"That's true..." Qiao Sang sighed inwardly.

"Steel Power".

Steel Treasure sensed the pain in its Beastmaster and then let out a cry.

Three days, please. Just bear with it for three more days, and I'll give you a sudden epiphany.

You're clearly in more pain than me... Holy crap, that hurts! Qiao Sang's previously complicated expression twisted instantly with pain.

Steel Treasure sensed the state of its Beastmaster, remained silent for a moment, then suddenly staggered, revealing its weakness.

Seeing this, Penjami, who was about to continue her attack, stopped and turned to look at her Beastmaster.

"Why don't you rest a bit more?" Michaela suggested, noticing that Steelball's condition seemed unwell.

"Steel Power".

Gangbao shook his head with a determined expression.

Michaela's eyes showed a hint of appreciation as he nodded to Penjami and said, "Continue."

Upon hearing this, Penjami opened her mouth.

A white beam of light carrying destructive power shot out instantly.

At the same time, the white armor on Steel Treasure's body appeared.

"boom!!!"

There was a loud bang.

Amidst the violent shockwave, Steel Treasure flew diagonally downwards, crashing into the ground and creating a massive crater.

How could this be? He could regain his balance quickly before, could it be that he has already trained Steel Treasure to his limit? Michael was stunned when he saw this.

Within the giant crater, Steel Treasure flapped its wings, panting heavily, and struggled to fly up. When it stopped in mid-air, its body swayed slightly.

"Let's take a rest first," Michaela suggested.

"Steel Power".

Gangbao showed a determined expression, shook his head, and called out.

Michaela looked at Jossan, his eyes saying: You should try to persuade him.

After a two-second pause, Qiao Sang translated, "It said it wants to quickly improve its proficiency in Absolute Defense and reach the standard where it can descend the Void Cliff as soon as possible."

Upon hearing this, Michaela glanced at Steelball, who, despite being covered in wounds and swaying, possessed an exceptionally resolute expression, and his admiration deepened.

Michaela decided to respect its choice: "Then let's continue."

"Puff."

Penjami's eyes showed a hint of reluctance, but she still opened her mouth and spat out a beam of white light.

"boom!!!"

With a loud bang, the white beam of light struck Steel Treasure hard.

"Steel Power!!!"

Steel Bao let out its first heart-wrenching scream.

It staggered back several meters, but unlike before, it didn't fly backwards and land on the ground.

Even though he had reached his limit, he held on with his strong willpower... Michaela watched as Steelbo gritted his teeth and stubbornly refused to back down, and suddenly felt very moved.

Honestly, Steelbao is practically my dream pet. All its evolution paths are bond evolutions, which saves resources and allows the tamer to understand the pet's language without translation. As its strength increases, it doesn't become arrogant at all, and it will persevere even when training exceeds its limits.

Although it's a completely new form, it's already at the Emperor level. I remember Qiao Sang once said that Ju Jiji had seen Gang Bao's future, which was that he could reach the Emperor level.

The upper limit is Emperor-level pet beasts, which is sufficient for her contract standards.

I don't know if I'll ever have the chance to awaken a new Beast Taming Page again.

If I can awaken it, I'll definitely have to go to Superstar and contract a little steel falcon...

At the same time, Gangbao's calm voice echoed in Qiao Sang's mind:
"Steel Power".

I've installed it correctly; please add the proficiency level to it.

Steel Treasure... Qiao Sang felt both complicated and moved.

She understood that Gangbao had moved up his plan to fake an epiphany because he saw how much pain she was in.

Despite the excruciating pain, Qiao Sang immediately channeled his consciousness into the Beast Taming Codex, quickly flipping to the page about Steel Treasure and adding points to the Absolute Defense skill.

On the training field, Gangbao's forehead veins bulged, revealing an expression of extreme pain.

The white armor had already crumbled under the attack of the white beam.

Steelbao withstood the all-around shockwave with its own strength.

"Steel Power!!!"

Suddenly, it let out a loud cry, not the previous scream, but a cry as if it had broken free of its shackles and released some kind of energy.

Immediately afterwards, the white armor that had disappeared reappeared on its body.

It was obvious that the armor was larger, and the condensed white light had become visibly denser.

Penjami paused for a moment and did not continue her attack.

This, this is… Michaela’s eyes widened.

A minor level of absolute defense!
Steel Bao suddenly had an epiphany!
Michaela could hardly control his expression, revealing obvious shock.

Keep in mind, this is a super-level skill! And Steel Treasure hasn't even practiced it for an hour!
It hadn't practiced the Absolute Defense skill for a while, yet it still managed to break through to the minor proficiency level?
Michaela's thoughts were somewhat confused.

She then recalled Qiao Sang and Gang Bao's talent, as well as Gang Bao's almost overwhelming willpower during training. Her chaotic thoughts gradually calmed down, and she accepted reality.

If this happened to Gangbao, it doesn't seem impossible...

Yes, it's not impossible...

"You acted so well..." Qiao Sang thought to herself, then feigned surprise and asked:

"Steelball, has your Absolute Defense skill improved?"

"Steel Power".

"You acted quite well too..." Gangbao responded in his mind, but on the surface he looked hesitant and called out.

It seems so… (End of Chapter)
