Beast Taming Begins with Inheriting a Legacy.

While the mischievous ghost absorbed the Netherworld Incense, Gu Ling, as usual, watched the match video of Yu Xiliang, her opponent in tomorrow's game.

Gu Ling's individual semi-final is the second match. The first match is Pei Zhili vs. Shen Qingyue. If nothing unexpected happens, Pei Zhili will definitely win.

Since Shen Qingyue's Fiery Horse has not been promoted to the Warrior level, it is basically impossible for it to defeat Pei Zhili's Shield Dragon.

"Yu Xiliang's pit bull was quite exhausted in today's team competition. It probably won't be able to recover to its best condition overnight... This is an advantage."

Normal-type moves don't harm Naughty, while Pit Bull has learned three Dark-type moves: Bite, Roar, and Dark Pulse.

Gu Ling was very familiar with these three skills.

Previously, when I was giving the naughty boy special training, he was often "beaten up" by Zhou Mengran's Crescent Wolf, and the three Dark-type moves he used most often were these three.

This was also done after collecting the Dark-type moves that Yu Xiliang's Pit Bull had learned beforehand, and then asking the Crescent Moon Wolf to help with the special (poisonous) training (beating).

Among them, the [Loud Roar] skill is particularly troublesome.

Bite and Dark Pulse offer opportunities to dodge, while Roar is a wide-range sonic attack. This invisible attack comes from all directions, is not limited by terrain, and is the most difficult to defend against.

Even if the mischievous ghost hides inside the smoke, the smoke cannot provide soundproofing, and it will still be attacked by the loud roar.

With a thought, Gu Ling retrieved the information about Mischievous Ghost from the Ancient Book of Beast Taming, her gaze slowly sweeping over Mischievous Ghost's skill bar...

Hatred? A silence to the roaring?

Strange light? Is it a preemptive measure to confuse the pit bull?

The mischievous kid had already used these two skills in previous matches, so Yu Xiliang would definitely be on guard.

Furthermore, Ghost-type moves have a lower success rate when used on Dark-type Pokémon, and Gu Ling couldn't guarantee that she could get the kill on her first try.

"Although the mischievous Poison-type Poison training has yielded some minor results recently, it only slightly compensates for the disadvantage of Ghost-type Pokémon against Dark-type Pokémon, and is not enough to create a significant advantage..."

"Fairy, Bug, and Fighting-type moves are all very effective against Dark-type Pokémon..."

Gu Ling hasn't collected any fairy-type skills yet, so she'll just pass on them.

As for the insect-type skills, when Gu Lingyi brought up the information on Mischievous Ghost, all the insect-type skills recorded in the Beast Taming Ancient Book were grayed out, clearly indicating that Mischievous Ghost could not learn insect-type skills.

Gu Ling flipped through the collection of fighting skills. Not all of these skills were suitable for the mischievous kid to learn, so some were gray and some were shiny.

"Breaking tiles is good too... mischievous kids can learn that..."

"Whirlwind Kick? The little rascal doesn't even have legs now, so he can't learn it..."

The mischievous kid at least has hands and can learn the skill of splitting tiles, but Gu Ling is also hesitant about whether to choose this option and take up a spot for teaching a skill.

At this moment, Gu Ling casually selected a fighting skill, and a detailed description of the skill appeared in the Beast Taming Ancient Book.

"...After absorbing damage from the punch, it can absorb up to half of the opponent's health."

Gu Ling's eyes lit up when she saw that it could restore the user's stamina.

This drain punch not only increases the Naughty's elemental attack coverage, but also effectively compensates for the Naughty's weakness of low stamina. This skill is pretty good!

The skill "Absorb Punch" was acquired in various battle training gyms, because the older men who did the training mostly had Fighting-type pets in their contracts.

"This one will do!" Gu Ling breathed a slight sigh of relief.

After the mischievous ghost finished absorbing the Ghost Incense and came out, Gu Ling mysteriously called the mischievous ghost into the bathroom.

After avoiding Huang Weiwei, Gu Ling immediately taught the Absorption Fist to the mischievous boy and raised his proficiency in the Absorption Fist to the Master level.

"...Hehehe?" The mischievous boy scratched his head, then circled around Gu Ling several times with a nervous look on his face.

Are there any beast tamers who are missing limbs or arms?

Or are they organs from a deal made with the devil?!

The moment the thought crossed his mind, the mischievous boy pressed his head against Gu Ling's body again, poking here and there with his chubby little hands, trying to make sure that none of Gu Ling's internal organs had suddenly disappeared.

Gu Ling was both amused and exasperated. She pushed the mischievous boy away, then couldn't resist pinching his chubby cheeks. "I'm fine, you little rascal. Don't worry, we'll win the game together tomorrow."

"Hehehe~"

Upon hearing the word "competition," the mischievous boy's playful expression vanished, replaced by an extremely serious demeanor.

Beastmaster, don't worry~

Oh dear, I'll definitely try my best in the competition to win the prize money!

Then I'll have money to buy tickets to the haunted house! (*︾▽︾)

Seeing the mischievous boy's implied meaning, Gu Ling smiled helplessly: "I know, I definitely won't forget to take you to the amusement park."

"Hehe~" The mischievous boy's expression changed in a second, and he clapped his hands happily.

"Alright, we should go to sleep now..."

Gu Ling yawned, then went to bed.

Before going to bed, seeing that neither the mischievous ghost nor Xian Jiu intended to sleep and were planning to continue rolling around, Gu Ling casually said, "Get some rest, there's a competition tomorrow," and then turned off the lights and went to sleep with Huang Weiwei.

But in the middle of the night, Gu Ling suddenly felt something wet licking her face.

"Hehehe..."

Gu Ling opened her eyes in a daze, and through the hazy vision, she saw the mischievous boy lying anxiously on top of her.

"What's wrong, you little rascal..."

Upon seeing Gu Ling wake up, the mischievous boy quickly pointed to the side.

As Gu Ling sat up, she rubbed her eyes and turned her head to look. She saw Xian Jiu lying on the edge of the bed. Although her cat-like eyes were tightly closed, her face showed some pain, and her body was constantly leaking electrical energy with a crackling sound.

Gu Ling immediately came to her senses.

"Swordsman 9!"

Xian Jiu weakly called out, "Meow~"

Beastmaster, my tummy hurts!

Seeing this, Gu Ling immediately picked up Xian Jiu: "Xian Jiu, bear with it, I'll take you to the pet medical center right now!"

"Lingling, what's wrong..." Huang Weiwei was also awakened and turned on the room light switch.

Gu Ling: "Weiwei, please contact Teacher Zhou and Teacher Zhang for me. Xian Jiu is suddenly feeling unwell."

"...Okay!" Huang Weiwei's face tightened, and she picked up her phone to dial Zhou Mengran's number, explaining the situation to her.

Zhou Mengran and Zhang Huizi put on a coat and rushed over.

On the way to the pet medical center, Zhang Huizi summoned Dilu Egg and kept using its skills to try to alleviate Xianjiu's pain, but the effect was not significant.

Twenty minutes later.

Gu Ling took Xian Jiu to the pet medical center.

After Xian Jiu was wheeled into the emergency room, the doctor noticed that Gu Ling was wearing pajamas and asked, "Lei Yin Cat's condition requires a full-body examination. The results should be available in about two hours. Would you like to go home and rest?"

"No need, I'll stay here." Gu Ling shook her head.

Xianjiu's current condition is unclear, and she has no intention of going back to sleep.

"Alright then." The doctor didn't insist and turned to go into the emergency room.

Two hours later, Xianjiu's medical report came out.

The doctor handed the examination report to Gu Ling: "The energy in the Lei Yin Cat's body is about to reach a critical point, which is very likely a sign of a breakthrough."

Gu Ling was stunned.

"Breakthrough? Immortal Nine is about to advance to the Warrior General level?"

The doctor nodded: "Yes."

"Your ThunderCat is special. It has an additional Psychic type. It's probably because of the recent training and development that both of its types have been greatly enhanced, resulting in an unbalanced and violent reaction."

"In this situation, all that's needed is for Lei Yin Cat to advance to the Warrior level as soon as possible, and then it will be able to adapt to the current energy."

Hearing this explanation, Gu Ling breathed a slight sigh of relief: "Okay, thank you."

Huang Weiwei, Zhou Mengran, and Zhang Huizi, who were standing nearby, were also relieved when they learned that Xian Jiu was not seriously injured and was about to be promoted to the War General level.

"Can I go in and take a look at Sword 9?"

"Can."

After receiving permission, Gu Ling quickly walked into the emergency room.

Upon seeing Xian Jiu on the hospital bed, he ran over and gently patted her head: "Xian Jiu, how are you feeling...?"

Xian Jiu weakly opened her eyes. Upon seeing Gu Ling, a pure smile appeared on her face. Then, she habitually nuzzled her head against Gu Ling's palm.

"Meow~"

I'm fine~

Beastmaster, don't worry about me~

Gu Ling was finally relieved to receive Xian Jiu's response.

The veterinarian came over with several small medicine bottles. "These are the pills that Ray-In Cat needs to take for the next three days. They can temporarily stabilize the energy in its body."

"Thank you." Gu Ling sincerely thanked the doctor, and after taking the medicine bottle, she confirmed the dosage, frequency, and dietary restrictions with the doctor.

Seeing that Xian Jiu was alright, Gu Ling began to carefully consider Xian Jiu's sudden abnormality that night.

Gu Ling also didn't expect that Xian Jiu was about to break through to the War General level. Just a few months ago, she was still a tiny little kitten.

"The electrical energy and superpower energy within Xianjiu's body are conflicting..."

"Could it be because the skill proficiency of Sword and Fairy 9 is too high?"

While keeping an eye on Xian Jiu's condition, Gu Ling also entered the pet space and looked through the data of Xian Jiu recorded in the Ancient Book of Beast Taming.

In the level section, the Beast Taming Manual does not provide specific numerical conversions.

However, generally speaking, higher-level pets are more likely to master skills with high proficiency.

It would be completely impossible for a young pet to master a skill at a perfect proficiency level.

The skill point allocation in the Beast Taming Manual corresponds to the improvement of the pet's strength.

"A sudden, drastic increase might be a burden on the pet."

Thinking of this, Gu Ling couldn't help but sigh softly.

Indeed, there's no such thing as a free lunch.

"..."

After all that back and forth, it was already getting light outside.

Gu Ling still has the semi-final of the individual competition today. After asking the doctor about Xian Jiu's current physical condition and confirming that she could be taken to the hospital, the group rushed back to the hotel.

After changing out of her pajamas, having breakfast, and washing her face, she joined the others at the central battle arena.

In today's individual semi-finals, Gu Ling was in the second match, so she watched Pei Gang and Shen Qingyue's match from the stands with the others.

"Fire Horse, come out."

"Boeing larvae, come out."

The previously sickly Xianjiu suddenly perked up the moment he saw the Boeing larvae appear.

"Meow~"

The second big bad guy has appeared! (╬▔皿▔)╯

Beastmaster, let's go and take it down!

Gu Ling pressed down on the restless cat's head with one hand: "It's a match between the Boeing larva and the Fire Horse right now, we can't disturb them."

In the Meow Meow Ranger short film that Xianjiu had watched before, the Boeing larva was also one of the "bad guys" who invaded the Rai-Yin Cat clan.

In one of the close-up shots, a Boeing larva looks at the flightless Raincats on the ground with a mocking and disdainful expression, showing off its beautiful and elegant wings.

When Xianjiu saw it, he wished he could immediately jump into the screen, unleash a 100,000-volt attack, and slap that "giant fly" down from the sky!

"Meow~" Xian Jiu huddled in Gu Ling's arms, her lips pouting, and she made an unhappy gurgling sound in her throat.

So, when is it my turn to take the stage?

This cat wants to go beat up the big bad guy!

Gu Ling took out cat treats from her backpack, tore a small opening in them, and began feeding Xian Jiu: "There will be a chance. Xian Jiu, you should rest well first, otherwise you won't have the strength to defeat the big bad guy."

"Meow~" Xian Jiu hugged Gu Ling's hand and the cat treat with her two little paws, wriggled in Gu Ling's arms for a bit, found the most comfortable position, and then happily started eating the cat treat.

While Gu Ling was coaxing Xian Jiu, the rest of Pei Gang watched the game and discussed it amongst themselves.

"Pei Zhili didn't use the Shield Dragon?"

"They probably wanted to let the Shield Dragon conserve its energy, since the finals are coming up soon."

"This is Pei Zhili's second pet beast, the Boeing larva? It's quite powerful."

"Wow! Another Dragon-type!" Lou Huayu searched for information about the Boeing larva on his phone and saw that its type was Flying + Dragon. He was immediately envious: "Pei Gang, is your family in the Dragon-type wholesale business? Will all your future pets be Dragon-type pets too?"

Pei Gang nodded: "Our family has a private nature reserve dedicated to raising dragon-type pets, and we mainly focus on dragon-type specialization."

"Hiss! Given our friendship, could you give me a dragon-type pet?"

Pei Gang shrugged: "You've got the wrong person. I don't handle family affairs and can't make decisions, but I can give you a 9% discount."

Lou Huayu counted on his fingers, but even with a 9% discount, buying a dragon-type pet egg would still cost at least a million. His face fell immediately: "...Then...I'll wait until I've earned a few million!"

The race between the Boeing larvae and the Fire Horse did not last long.

Although the Boeing larva has not yet advanced to the Warrior level, its strength is among the top of the extraordinary pets in this friendly competition.

Throughout the battle, the Fiery Horse consistently suppressed Shen Qingyue's attack.

As expected, Pei Zhili emerged victorious in this match. (End of Chapter)
