Beast Taming Starts from Zero

"Teacher! Steel Treasure says its proficiency in Absolute Defense has improved!" Qiao Sang said excitedly, "Did it have an epiphany?!"

"Steel rights?"

Gangbao looked confused.

Did it suddenly realize something?

Michaela took a deep breath and explained with a focused gaze:
"The white light of condensed energy has become much denser. This is a noticeable change that only occurs when the absolute defense has reached the minor mastery level. For an entry-level absolute defense to reach the minor mastery level in such a short time, there is no other explanation but enlightenment."

"That's great!" Qiao Sang looked at Gang Bao and said excitedly, "You've already had an epiphany on the first day! You must have a high talent for absolute defense. Maybe we can reach the standard for descending the Void Cliff soon!"

"Steel Power!"

Gangbao nodded with a happy expression.

“With Steel Treasure’s talent, it’s actually quite possible,” Michaela laughed.

"Very good, Teacher Michaela has no doubts..." Jossan thought to herself. She opened her mouth, ready to suggest that they take a break first.

However, before she could speak, Michaela continued:

"Now is the time when Steelbao has the greatest understanding of absolute defense. Let's continue practicing."

Qiao Sang: "."

Steel Treasure: "..."

……

Six p.m.

inside the room.

Qiao Sang and Gang Bao lay on the soft bed, their faces contorted in pain.

The gem on Lu Bao's forehead emitted a faint blue light, illuminating them.

Qiao Sang and Gang Bao's expressions relaxed simultaneously, revealing comfortable expressions.

"Why don't you take some time to have another epiphany?" Qiao Sang suggested in her mind.

"Steel Power".

Steelbao responded with a sound.

Such frequent epiphanies are bound to arouse suspicion.

“You said the same thing before you had your epiphany today,” Qiao Sang said in her mind with her eyes closed. “After you had your epiphany, Teacher Michaela still believed you. Don’t worry, as long as we act well, we will definitely make her believe us.”

Steelbao recalled the admiring look on Michaela's face and figured it wouldn't be too difficult to fool her, so it called out:
"Steel Power".

Okay, but it's best not to have an immediate epiphany; it's better to wait a while.

"I know," Qiao Sang sighed inwardly.

The minor level of Absolute Defense did extend the time it took to resist Penjami's attacks, but only by 0.5 seconds. She strongly suspected that Penjami had increased her proficiency in Steel Treasure's Absolute Defense, so she had also appropriately increased her own attack power.

If she continued training like this, she felt that her defense might be comparable to that of a Steel-type pet.

Currently, it seems that to reach the standard for descending the Void Cliff, the proficiency in Absolute Defense must be at least at the Perfect level.

Even if Steel Treasure were to have an epiphany, it would be impossible for it to directly reach a perfect level of proficiency.

Sigh, it seems I'll have to endure this pain for at least a few more months... Thinking of this, Qiao Sang felt utterly exhausted.

Suddenly, a black hole appeared out of nowhere.

Qiao Sang sensed something and opened her eyes.

Little Treasure Hunter emerged from the black hole.

Immediately afterwards, a gust of wind blew out and transformed into Qingbao.

When Qiao Sang saw Qing Bao, she paused for a moment, as if something had occurred to her.

Seeing that his beast tamer was staring at him without moving, Qingbao was puzzled, blinked, and called out:
"Xia Xia?"

Qiao Sang: "..." You're still using Xia Lala's language... Qiao Sang's previous thoughts suddenly vanished, and she couldn't help but complain in her heart.

"Looking around~"

Little Treasure Hunter called out, indicating that the teacher was calling us to go eat.

Qiao Sang gathered her thoughts, sat up, put on her shoes, took out her room key, and said, "Let's go."

Little Treasure's eyes glowed blue, and it disappeared from the room with its Beastmaster and Ya Bao.

A group of figures appeared out of thin air at the restaurant entrance. After verifying their identities with their room cards, they were led by staff to the table where Michaela was sitting.

The table was already filled with all kinds of food, most of which were energy meals that grass-type pets liked to eat.

"Clear!"

Xia Lala's eyes lit up, and she floated over.

"That's amazing." Michaela saw Sharara and praised her with a smile, "You can speak Qingyun Nana's language so fluently."

She wasn't surprised that Xia Lala spoke Qingyun Nainai's language. She had overheard the conversation during the day at the training ground, but she was busy training Gangbao's absolute defense at the time, so she didn't leave.

"Qingqing~"

Xia Lala became a little embarrassed by the praise.

Seeing this, Qingbao took a bite of the energy meal in front of her, then pretended to show a surprised expression and exclaimed:
"Xia Xia!"

Delicious!
"You're just showing off your newly learned tribal language because you saw Sharara being praised..." Josang now understood Qingbao's temperament quite well and saw through its little scheme at a glance. She suppressed the urge to laugh and played along:

"Qingbao speaks the language of Sharara very well now."

"Xia Xia."

Qingbao was happy and called out.

At the same time, a cheerful breeze blew around.

Michaela laughed and said, "You two practice together often, right? So you practice each other's words."

"clear……"

Xia Lala was about to nod.

"Clear!"

Qingbao quickly interrupted, saying that nothing of the sort had happened; they had only practiced together today, and she hadn't expected to learn it so quickly.

As soon as she finished speaking, a gust of wind swirled around Xia Lala.

Xia Lala sensed Qing Bao's meaning and fell silent, swallowing back the words she hadn't finished saying.

After speaking in Shalarara's language all day, he was so anxious that he subconsciously spoke in his own language... Qiao Sang's lips twitched, and he helped translate.

Michaela paused for a moment, then smiled and said, "You two are quite destined, learning the language on the same day."

"Xia Xia."

Qingbao called out sweetly, indicating that it was true.

Xia Lala quietly ate her energy meal.

Remembering her business, Michaela gripped her knife and fork, cutting her steak as she spoke:
"Gangbao has excellent endurance and a high aptitude for absolute defense. I think we can spend more time training every day to improve his proficiency as soon as possible."

She paused for a moment, then added, "After we finish eating and rest for half an hour, I'll take Gangbao down for training."

“I know that Steel Treasure has just finished absorbing the Natural Elephant Fruit, so this training intensity may be a bit too much for it, but if it wants to go down the Void Cliff within the time limit set by Yinpanling, this is the only way to train it.”

Even with this level of training, there's no guarantee that one will reach the standard required to descend the Void Cliff, but Michaela doesn't mind using this pressure to motivate Steel Treasure's training.

Gangbao paused in his eating of the energy meal and looked at his beast tamer.

Qiao Sang paused for a moment, put down her chopsticks, and said seriously:

"I actually thought of another way to retrieve the pet eggs from the bottom of the Void Cliff." (End of Chapter)
