Beast Taming Begins with Inheriting a Legacy.

Chapter 18 This cat is still a little baby, sob~

Xian Jiu obediently used the Shadow Clone Technique again, creating two more shadow clones.

Gu Ling chose the Shadow Clone skill in order to better optimize Xian Jiu's maneuvering tactics.

[Lightning Flash] + [Shadow Clone]

The lightning-fast speed combined with the highly deceptive multiple clones can better confuse the opponent, making it impossible for them to figure out which direction the attack will come from.

Gu Ling pondered to himself, "Currently, Xian Jiu still lacks ranged attack methods, such as electric-type skills like Thunderbolt, Lightning, and Electromagnetic Cannon... If it could learn these advanced skills, Xian Jiu would be able to handle battles more easily..."

Unfortunately, these advanced skills are not commonplace and can't be learned by just any pet.

Gu Ling currently does not have any high-level skills available.

"Start by training how to quickly approach your opponent and launch close-quarters attacks."

Although there is the cheat code of the Beast Taming Manual, we cannot ignore the training and development of Xian Jiu himself.

The maximum proficiency level for a beginner is 500 points, which is five times the proficiency required for a basic level. To reach the next level, such as mastery or perfection, the required proficiency level would probably be several thousand or even tens of thousands.

Although adding points seems easy and tempting, Gu Ling doesn't intend to rely entirely on the Beast Taming Manual.

Over-reliance on the Beast Taming Manual could lead to a complacent, lazy attitude towards getting something for nothing.

Thinking of this, Gu Ling looked at Xian Jiu with a serious expression: "Xian Jiu, you need to train your superpower skills yourself to improve your proficiency. I will only help you break through when you encounter a bottleneck."

Upon hearing this, Xianjiu, who had just climbed onto the sofa, immediately collapsed onto it with a thud, turning into a "cat pancake".

"Meow~"

That sounds like a lot of hard work~

I'm still a little baby, sob~

Gu Ling changed the subject and praised Xian Jiu with a bright smile: "I believe that my Xian Jiu's superpower talent is unparalleled in the world, one in ten thousand. No other Thunder Seal Cat can compare to Xian Jiu."

As soon as she finished speaking, Xian Jiu sat up, curled her hind paws up, and clapped her front paws together like a human, nodding in agreement with a rather narcissistic air: "Meow~".

That's right!

My talent is unparalleled! One in a million!

"You learned meditation and teleportation in just two hours at the club. As for the other superpowered skills, they're just small things that you can learn by waving your claws." Gu Ling continued to flatter Xian Jiu, patiently guiding her.

"Meow~" Xianjiu's tail wagged happily.

So, Gu Ling smiled and revealed her ultimate goal: "Super-powered pets can use meditation instead of sleeping, and I believe you can too, Xian Jiu!"

"Meow!"

Feeling a little flattered by the praise, Xian Jiu quickly nodded her head.

I only realized what I had promised right after I placed the order...

What?

Can't sleep?

Xian Jiu wanted to back out, but when she looked up, she met the Beastmaster's eyes, which were filled with "expectation" and "trust"...

It it it...

Suddenly, I couldn't say it.

Seeing that things had gone well enough, Gu Ling unleashed her ultimate move: "Xian Jiu, you can definitely do it, right? To supplement your nutrition, I'll add another cat treat to your daily diet."

bass!

Xianjiu's cat-like eyes lit up instantly!

It's just a simple meditation to replace sleep!

I am the smartest, most powerful, and most talented Rai-In cat!

ヾ(≧▽≦*)o This cat is okay with this!!

Without a shred of guilt for messing with her baby, Gu Ling reached out and ruffled Xian Jiu's hair, quickly outlining tonight's tasks:

"Keep watching the match. Pay attention to what skills both sides' pets use and remember them. Don't be like you were today, standing there dumbfounded when you see a shadow clone."

Xian Jiu reached out her paw and tugged at Gu Ling's sleeve: "Meow~" Today we're watching grass-themed stuff!

"You want to watch a match between a Grass-type Pokémon and an Electric-type Pokémon? Okay, I'll find it for you right now."

Gu Ling chuckled to herself.

It seems the little guy is really looking forward to his upcoming match against Little Vine Monster.

That's good too; not wanting to lose is what motivates us to train hard.

Gu Ling pretended to be unaware, but just happened to find a lot of videos of Little Vine Monster battling Electric-type pets on her tablet.

After downloading all the match videos, Xianjiu watched the game with piercing eyes.

Gu Ling, meanwhile, was calculating the number of shops she had visited that day.

Each pet can only be recorded once in the Beast Taming Manual, so you can't go to the same shop you visited today to earn points again tomorrow.

"These are some options...and a few clubs around here..."

"It still feels like too little space, so we could expand the area... but that would take a lot of time and interfere with Xianjiu's training..."

After planning her route for farming points tomorrow, Gu Ling glanced at Xian Jiu, who was engrossed in watching the game, and then quietly left the sofa to go to the study to read.

"Where are you looking...? Here..."

Gu Ling flipped through the textbook, and if she encountered any points of knowledge that she couldn't understand, she would use her phone to search for the answers online.

At 11 p.m., Gu Ling meditated for half an hour as usual, then took Xian Jiu back to her room to sleep.

However, Gu Ling was sleeping, while Xian Jiu changed her sleeping to meditation.

……

On the third day, the alarm clock had just rung in the morning.

Gu Ling felt as if her face was completely surrounded by something soft.

"Meow~ Meow~"

Gu Ling opened her eyes and was immediately met with Xian Jiu's magnified cat face.

Even though I had just woken up and my vision was still a little blurry, I could clearly feel the resentment emanating from a certain kitten.

"Xian Jiu, have you been meditating all night?" Gu Ling rubbed her eyes and sat up.

"Meow~" Of course!

Xian Jiu felt a little guilty. Actually, she hadn't been meditating all night; she had fallen asleep a few times in between.

but……

Anyway, the beast tamer doesn't know!

Gu Ling glanced at the changes in the proficiency of Xian Jiu's meditation skill:

Meditation (Beginner 3→6/100)

Gu Ling: ?

Two hours at the club, meditation proficiency +3; six hours that night, meditation proficiency still +3...

Gu Ling turned and gave Xian Jiu a deep look, but ultimately didn't expose the lazy little cat. She smiled and patted the little head in front of her: "Xian Jiu is great."

"Meow~" Hearing the Beast Tamer's praise, the cat tail behind Xian Jiu happily wagged its tail.

Gu Ling got up, dressed, and then picked up Xian Jiu and took her to the bathroom.

Washing up, grooming, eating breakfast...

Half an hour later, the person and the pet went out wearing hats of the same color.

When Gu Ling arrived at the Starry Sky Training Center, she bought a one-month pass, which cost her 1400 yuan.

Just as they reached the second floor, a figure appeared at the top of the stairs above the third floor—it was Dai Hao.

Dai Hao waved: "Gu Ling, come up here quickly."

"Dai Hao, where are the other two?" Gu Ling asked casually when she saw that Dai Hao was alone.
