Beast Taming Begins with Inheriting a Legacy.

Chapter 53 Trash Beast Taming Ancient Book

Gu Ling clasped her hands together and said, "Teacher Zhou, please forgive me. I won't do it again..."

"Hmph~" Zhou Mengran released her hand and saw Gu Ling take three steps back and keep rubbing his ears. She shook her head helplessly and smiled, "You did a really good job."

"When facing a pet that is stronger than yourself, using its beast tamer as a point of attack is a good tactic."

Seeing that Zhou Mengran wasn't really angry, Gu Ling breathed a sigh of relief: "But this is only theoretically 'good.' Teacher Zhou, when I had Xian Jiu attack you, your Kongling Qingniao was also present, but it didn't come to protect you."

"The Azure Bird of Kongling couldn't possibly be unconcerned about your safety, Teacher Zhou. So there's only one explanation: Xianjiu's attack was destined to fail and wouldn't harm you."

In fact, it does.

Laksa managed to block the 100,000 volts at the last moment.

"So, you succeeded too, didn't you? You forced Laksa to stand in front of me, preventing him from using teleportation again." Zhou Mengran looked at Gu Ling with a smile, making the latter feel a chill in his heart once again.

Gu Ling chuckled twice: "Hehe..."

"Alright, it's getting late, go back to class." Zhou Mengran glanced at the time on her phone. "Today was just to let you get used to things. The real special training starts tomorrow. Pass this message on to the others."

Gu Ling nodded: "Okay, Teacher Zhou."

Gu Ling bent down and picked up Xian Jiu, who had been secretly watching the show from the ground. After saying goodbye to Zhou Mengran, she quickly left the spot.

Back in the classroom, Gu Ling immediately attracted the attention of all her classmates. After a moment of silence, they started chattering away like oil in a hot pan:

"Gu Ling, you actually came back unharmed! Did you get any limbs missing?"

"Gu Ling, did Teacher Zhou beat you up? Or scold you?"

"You're really something! To think you could even come up with the idea of ​​having a pet attack Teacher Zhou!"

Gu Ling was walking towards her seat when she heard the last sentence. She turned around, raised an eyebrow, and asked the person, "Is there a problem?"

Gu Ling vaguely remembered this person; he was Lou Huayu, who ranked sixth in the combat exam. He was tall and thin with a slightly dark complexion, but he gave off a cheerful and sunny vibe.

"have!"

Lou Huayu looked mysterious, deliberately paused for two seconds, and then, amidst the curious gazes of those around him, shouted with great force, "—So, so, handsome!"

"Tch~"

The next second, the boys around Lou Huayu began to murmur with disdain.

"Do you even need to tell me?"

"Gu Ling is the most handsome guy in the elite class, isn't that common sense?"

"Yes! It's common sense that came up ten minutes ago, haha..."

Gu Ling calmly waved his hand: "Calm down, we didn't actually defeat Teacher Zhou's Laksa."

"Oh, right, Teacher Zhou asked me to pass on a message that today is just to give us a little adjustment period. The special training will start tomorrow, and we need to assemble at 6:15 tomorrow to go to the playground."

"what……"

"I hate waking up early!"

For a moment, sighs and groans filled the classroom.

"..."

On the first day of school, before classes started according to the schedule, each teacher allocated time to get to know everyone in the class.

Some teachers told vivid and interesting stories of outdoor adventures; some teachers used multimedia to play videos; some teachers first summarized and reviewed the knowledge points to be covered this semester...

The day passed by in the blink of an eye. After three hours of meditation training during evening self-study, all the students left the classroom one after another and went home or back to their dormitories.

After returning home, Gu Ling habitually began to review her match with Teacher Zhou Mengran that day.

"Laksa's light wall is too difficult to break; the difference in strength between the two sides is too great..."

"Xian Jiu's control over the Purple Pearl using her telekinesis was too short; at the last moment, Laksa broke free of her restraints..."

Gu Ling opened the data panel of Xianjiu: "There are only a few mastery-level skills, should we add some more points?"

What skill should I add...?

Gu Ling glanced around and finally her gaze fell on [Meditation].

Although meditation is not an offensive skill, its effects should not be underestimated. The power of meditation is related to the strength of a pet's mental energy.

If Xianjiu's mental strength had been a little stronger today, and had lasted a little longer influencing Zizhu, they might have actually been able to hit Laksa.

Gu Ling picked up Xian Jiu and then tapped the data panel, waiting to add points to Xian Jiu.

Can……

one second.

two seconds.

There was nothing there.

Xian Jiu blinked her cat-like eyes, looking puzzled: "Meow?"

"Huh?" Gu Ling was completely stunned.

Why is there no response?

Gu Ling tried again.

There was still no response; the skill proficiency of Xianjiu remained unchanged.

"What's going on?"

After Gu Ling tried seven or eight times, perhaps annoyed by Gu Ling's repeated attempts, the Beast Taming Ancient Book automatically turned to a blank page, on which a line of text appeared—

[Skill slots for Contract Pet Thunder Cat: 9/9 (Full)]

"What?!" Gu Ling was even more confused.

What does it mean that the skill point allocation slots are full?

As the line of text in the Beast Taming Manual slowly disappeared, Gu Ling suddenly became anxious. "Explain yourself! What do you mean there are only 9 skills that can be upgraded? What's the point of me going through all that trouble to collect so many points?"

Electric shock, lightning bolt, 100,000 volts, telekinesis... Gu Ling counted in her mind, and it seemed that the total number of skills with points added was just 9.

Gu Ling felt a pang of regret when she thought about how she had carelessly allocated points to a basic skill like [Electric Shock], which had taken up a skill point allocation slot.

The ancient book of beast taming slowly turned to a blank page, on which two lines of text appeared:

[Each pet has 9 additional skill slots at the start]

[For every star upgrade in the Pet Space, the number of skill points allocated to pets increases by 2.]

Gu Ling's eyes widened instantly: Hmm?

So this is an insult, calling me a burden?

Still haven't been able to upgrade the pet space level?

"This Beast Taming Manual is garbage! It doesn't even come with an instruction manual, and it doesn't explain everything at once! Thumbs down!"

"Since only 9 skills can be added to a pet in a short period of time, doesn't the extra skill slots seem useless? Could there be some kind of trap here?"

This time, no matter how Ren Guling tried to probe, the Ancient Book of Beast Taming remained completely still, quietly floating above the pet space.

Seeing this, Gu Ling had no choice but to abandon her study of the ancient beast-taming manual. She rested her chin on her hand, frowned, and sighed, "Looks like I need to upgrade the level of my pet space as soon as possible..."

Originally, Gu Ling wasn't in such a hurry to upgrade the level of her pet space.

Even if she upgraded the pet space, Gu Ling didn't have the energy to raise a second pet, nor did she have the extra money to buy one.

However, if you don't upgrade the pet space level as soon as possible, you won't be able to add points to Xian Jiu's other skills.

Gu Ling collapsed onto the bed, staring blankly at the ceiling, muttering to herself, "But upgrading the pet space isn't that simple..."

Beastmasters need to cultivate their spiritual power through daily meditation. Once their spiritual power is sufficient, they can upgrade the level of their pet space.

This principle is similar to saving money to buy new building materials and then expanding the old house.

Besides, there are some rare resources on the market that can enhance human spiritual power from secret realms, but the price... is at least tens or hundreds of thousands, which is not something a poor guy like Gu Ling can afford.
