Beast Taming Starts from Zero

The next morning at 8:15, Ya Bao slowly woke up and opened his eyes.

Through its blurred vision, it saw its own beast tamer frozen in ice.

Ya Bao was startled at first, then instantly snapped awake, jumped up, and let out a furious roar:
"Teeth!"

Who did this?!

Then, it opened its mouth, and blazing flames instantly condensed inside, ready to be sprayed towards its frozen Beastmaster to help thaw him.

"Stop it!" Qiao Sang felt the intense heat around him and was startled inside the ice shell. He quickly shouted in his mind.

She wasn't afraid of being burned by the flames, but Ya Bao was now at the royal level, and if she didn't control it properly, the entire room, or even the entire hotel, could very well be burned down.

Steel Treasure, sharing the same thoughts as his beast tamer, was about to stop him when Lu Bao called out:
"Ice Saint".

It was its own beast tamer who ordered it to be frozen.

"Teeth?"

Ya Bao stopped casting his flames, looked at Lu Bao with a blank expression, and called out.

"Looking around~"

"Looking around~"

Before Lu Bao could speak again, Xiao Xunbao floated over and started explaining.

"Ice Saint".

Lu Bao nodded, indicating that was the case.

"Teeth."

Ya Bao suddenly realized and showed an "Oh, I see" expression.

"Teeth?"

Then it seemed to remember something, and let out a cry, indicating how long it would have to be frozen.
"Ice Saint".

Lu Bao called out, indicating that her beast tamer said to wait until she woke up.

"Teeth?"

Ya Bao looked puzzled and called out, indicating that you are awake now, so why are you still not thawed?

"Ice Saint".

Lu Bao paused for a moment, then called out, indicating that because it had been awake the whole time, it would wait until its own beast tamer woke up before helping to thaw it.

Qiao Sang: "."

I've been awake the whole time, Lu Bao!
"Teeth."

Ya Bao once again showed an "Oh, I see" expression.

"Tingting?"

Suddenly, Tingbao cried out, indicating that his Beast Tamer had been frozen and unable to move, so how could he tell if she had woken up?
Lu Bao and Ya Bao both fell into deep thought.

"Tingbao, you're so smart," Qiao Sang thought to herself with deep emotion.

Lu Bao is a man of few words, which is not usually noticeable, but once you get to know him well enough, you can really see that his intelligence is actually on the same level as Ya Bao's.

"Tingting".

In a flash of thought, Tingbao glanced at Yabao and barked, indicating that it thought its beast tamer should be awake, as she usually woke up earlier than Yabao.

"Looking around~"

Little Treasure Hunter nodded in agreement, indicating that this was indeed the case.

"Steel Power".

At this moment, Gangbao called out, indicating that his beast tamer had actually been awake the whole time.

Ya Bao: "!!!"

Lu Bao: "."

Lu Bao looked at her beast tamer and circulated her energy.

The next second, with a "crack", cracks appeared in the ice shell around Qiao Sang and it all shattered.

"Teeth!"

Ya Bao quickly jumped to his beast tamer's side.

Qiao Sang suddenly opened her eyes and sat up abruptly.

"Teeth!"

Ya Bao looked surprised and called out.

"Ice Saint."

Lu Bao looked embarrassed.

"It's alright." Qiao Sang looked at Lu Bao and comforted her, "This is the perfect time to thaw. Actually, even if I froze it for a while longer, it wouldn't be a problem."

Because of the cold and not having slept all night, her face was covered in frost, making her look unusually pale and haggard.

Lu Bao said nothing, but silently lit up the gem on her forehead with a dark blue light, shining it on her beast tamer.

Soon, the pale blue light dissipated, the white frost on Qiao Sang's face disappeared, and her complexion regained its rosy hue.

Seeing this, Lu Bao felt a little better.

Qiao Sang keenly noticed Lu Bao's condition and pretended to sigh, "Indeed, freezing for only one night is too short. I deliberately stayed up to feel it, but I didn't feel cold, and there was no abnormality in my brain. It seems that we still have to wait until we leave Qi Kingdom and find some time to freeze for a longer period of time."

"No cold feeling?" Lu Bao's ears twitched, her expression remained unchanged, but her eyes brightened slightly, and she felt completely at ease.

It had initially thought that its freezing skill had kept its beast tamer awake all night, but now it seemed that its own beast tamer simply didn't want to sleep.

Then it seemed to realize something and fell into deep thought.

It's been frozen all night and I still don't feel cold. Is its skill really that ineffective? Looks like I'll have to strengthen my ability to freeze my own Beastmaster's energy in the future.
"Search?"

Little Treasure Hunter remembered his business and called out, indicating when he was going to find that human named Zhou Jing.
Qiao Sang had already planned this out, and said:

"Go after you finish breakfast."

Forty minutes later.

In a high-end residential area in the city center, on the 24th floor, in the living room, Zhou Jing and Yan Luo Shou sat side by side in front of the dressing table with their eyes closed, while two makeup artists did their makeup and hair.

Suddenly, two small, black, identical pets with purple eyes appeared out of thin air in front of the two makeup artists, grinning.

Without any warning, the two makeup artists closed their eyes, fell backward with a thud, and passed out.

Zhou Jing and the Flame Beast were startled and opened their eyes at the same time.

"Yan Luo!"

The Flame Beast, seeing the pet that had appeared out of nowhere, immediately jumped back a step, revealing an angry expression and assuming a posture ready to attack at any moment.

However, the next second, Little Treasure Hunter glanced at it with its purple-glowing eyes.

"Yan Luo."

The Flame Beast's angry expression instantly turned into drowsiness. Then, it closed its eyes, fell to the ground, and also fell into a deep sleep.

Zhou Jing: "!!!"

"Who are you?" Zhou Jing's pupils shrank, his face changed drastically, and he suppressed his fear as he looked at the pet he had never seen before.

His Flame Luo Beast was already at the late King level, so for it to fall down so easily, the pet beast in front of him must be at least at the Emperor level!

Why would a royal-level pet come knocking on your door?

Sasaeng fans?
It shouldn't be; a royal-level pet wouldn't do something so undignified.

Could it be that one of his opponents spent a lot of money to have a royal-level pet interfere with him?

However, I just finished a competition and have no plans to participate in any other competitions in the near future.
Suddenly, Zhou Jing thought of something and felt a chill run down his spine.

I've recently been rumored to be one of the candidates for the next audience with the First Seat. Could it be that someone doesn't want me to be summoned by the First Seat, so they sent a royal-level pet beast?
Which bastard is it?
Just as Zhou Jing was recalling all his past opponents, the two identical pet beasts before him suddenly merged into one. Immediately afterward, a clear, crisp sound rang out in the room:
"I've come to make a deal with you."

Someone else?! Zhou Jing was startled and turned to look in the direction of the voice.

Suddenly, a girl with delicate features, who looked to be only a teenager, and several unfamiliar pets appeared on the sofa, looking at them indifferently.

Zhou Jing's face gradually turned pale.

In this society, the most frightening thing is not encountering a beast tamer who looks experienced, but rather those beast tamers who look very young but have many pet beasts around them, because such beast tamers are the real old monsters, truly unfathomable.

The girl in front of them was clearly the latter.

Suppressing his fear, Zhou Jingqiang took a deep breath and said, "Whatever reward they offer you, I will give you double, as long as you don't harm me or the Flame Beast."

Qiao Sang: "???"

"Steel Power".

Gangbao glanced at his beast tamer silently, thinking to himself, "See, others have misunderstood."

Qiao Sang pretended not to hear Gang Bao's words and calmly said:
"I'm just here to make a deal with you."

"What kind of deal?" Zhou Jing asked cautiously.

"I want the Yang Vortex Crystal from the Flame Luo Beast." Qiao Sang went straight to the point, saying, "I can give you anything you want."

She paused, then added, "Or if you or someone around you has a terminal illness, I can help with treatment."

"If you were really willing to give me anything, you wouldn't have asked me for Yang Vortex Crystals." Zhou Jing couldn't help but complain inwardly upon hearing this, but more than anything, he breathed a sigh of relief.

He had initially thought the other party wanted more, but thankfully they only wanted Yang Vortex Crystals.
Despite his reluctance, Zhou Jing said, "I can give you the Yang Vortex Crystal directly."

A true transaction can only take place when both sides are of equal strength. When their strengths are unequal, there is no way to have an equal transaction. Right now, he just wants the other party to leave as soon as possible.

"Just give it to me?" Qiao Sang's eyes lit up, and she wanted to agree immediately, but her conscience bothered her. She remained silent for a while, then said seriously:

"I won't take your money for nothing. What do you want?"

Seeing that the other party seemed genuinely interested in making a deal, Zhou Jing's heart stirred. He took a deep breath and said:

"I want you to take me away from the Kingdom of Qi."

"Leave Qi Kingdom?" Qiao Sang was stunned.

“Yes.” Zhou Jing nodded vigorously, his expression serious: “I want to leave Qi Kingdom.”

Qiao Sang frowned and asked, "Can't you leave Qi Kingdom on your own?"

Zhou Jing smiled wryly and said, "You are definitely not from our Qi Kingdom. People and pets here can't leave the Qi Kingdom, especially high-level coordinators like us."

"Why?" Qiao Sang asked, puzzled.

Zhou Jing paused for a moment, then shook his head and said, "I don't know, the higher-ups are very strict about this."

Could it be because the First Seat is here that they don't want the people of Qi Kingdom to go out and talk nonsense? That shouldn't be the case. With the First Seat's prestige, as long as a clear order is given in Qi Kingdom, no one should go out and talk nonsense. Qiao Sang's mind was filled with chaotic thoughts, mixed with confusion.

She always felt that there might be some things hidden in Qi Kingdom that she didn't know about.

Qiao Sang gathered her thoughts and didn't immediately agree, instead asking:
Do you have any Ice Crystal Fruit?

Huh? Zhou Jing was taken aback for a moment, then shook his head and said, "No."

Qiao Sang then asked, "I heard that you might be summoned by the First Seat soon. Don't you want to meet the First Seat before you leave?"

Zhou Jing remained silent for a long time, then said hesitantly yet expectantly, "I don't know if the First Seat will summon me. Can you wait until it's confirmed whether the First Seat will summon me before taking me away?"

As expected, there was a possibility of obtaining the first seat. Upon being summoned, Qiao Sang replied without hesitation, "Of course."

If the other party can meet the first seat, she can also get some information about the first seat from the other party.

After all, he is the highest-ranking executive in the Beast Taming Alliance, so it would be a lie to say he isn't curious.

Zhou Jing was pleasantly surprised that the big shot in front of him was so easy to talk to. Then, he remembered something, immediately went to the Flame Luo Beast's side, took off the Yang Vortex Crystal, and handed it over: "You can take it now."

Qiao Sang glanced at the crimson crystal in front of him, but did not take it immediately. Instead, he said, "Before we make a deal, I would like to confirm one thing."

"What is it?" Zhou Jing asked quickly.

“I want to test whether you can get out of Qi Kingdom now.” After saying that, Qiao Sang looked at Xiao Xunbao and said, “Take him out and try.”

Zhou Jing: "!!!"

"Looking around~"

Almost the instant it disappeared, the entire space above the Kingdom of Wonders trembled slightly as the blue light struck an invisible barrier, causing it to ripple like waves on water.

"Search."

Little Treasure Hunter appeared beneath the barrier with Zhou Jing, shook his head (which was still a bit dazed from the bump), then his eyes glowed blue before he disappeared again.

At the same time, in a palace shrouded in thick fog, on the throne at the far end, a pet beast dressed in a wide purple robe slowly opened its eyes, revealing a pair of deep blue pupils.

Below the throne, a group of pets, each with a different appearance but all magnificent, were putting on a show.

The pet in the purple robe didn't look at the performing pets, but instead looked ahead, its eyes glowing blue.

Immediately afterwards, a scene appeared out of thin air in front of them, which was the scene where Xiao Xunbao had led Zhou Jing to crash into the aerial barrier earlier.

24th floor of an upscale residential building in the city center.

"Search."

Little Treasure Hunter appeared out of thin air with Zhou Jing and shook his head.

Even spatial teleportation can't get me out? Qiao Sang's heart sank; she sensed something was amiss.

The access control measures for the Qi Kingdom's management personnel were clearly much stricter than she had imagined.
Just then, Zhou Jing cautiously asked, "Senior, are we still going to do this deal?"

He realized that he had just failed to leave the country.

“Of course I will,” Jossan said.

Zhou Jing's face lit up with joy, and he quickly handed over the Yang Vortex Crystal in his hand again.

Qiao Sang took the Yang Vortex Crystal and asked:

When will the First Seat confirm the summons?

Despite the strict entry and exit controls in Qiguo, she still wanted to leave within the stipulated time.

Even if you can't use spatial teleportation, it doesn't mean you can't try other methods, such as getting the other person into the small treasure hunt circle.

Zhou Jing thought for a moment and said, "It's uncertain. It mainly depends on the mood of the First Seat. However, not long after the Coordination Competition ends, the First Seat will select a Coordinator or Pet to be summoned."

“I can only wait six days,” Qiao Sang said. “If the First Seat hasn’t arranged an audience within six days, I’ll have to leave.”

Zhou Jing was taken aback for a moment, then quickly said, "I'll go with you then."

Rather than not knowing if he could even get the first seat, he would much rather leave the Kingdom of Qi.

"Alright then." Qiao Sang said, handing the Yang Vortex Crystal to Little Treasure Hunter.

Just then, a rift appeared out of nowhere between the two, and a claw wearing a gemstone ring emerged from it, with an exquisitely carved golden sphere hanging from its middle finger.

When Zhou Jing saw this scene, his mind went blank, his lips parted slightly, his expression froze, and he was stunned on the spot.

After a long pause, he took the golden spherical object with trembling hands.

"What is this?" Qiao Sang asked.

Zhou Jing's face flushed with excitement, and his voice trembled as he said, "This, this is the summons certificate for the First Seat."

"Looking around~"

Little Treasure Hunter immediately moved closer to the golden spherical object, examining it curiously.

Qiao Sang: "!!!"

"This... he's been summoned?" Josang was shocked.

The claw that had emerged from the crack did not retract; instead, it twitched its middle finger.

The next second, another exquisitely carved golden spherical object appeared on the middle finger. (End of Chapter)
