Beast Taming Begins with Inheriting a Legacy.

Chapter 8: This cat will take on three at once! Invincible!

Gu Ling currently has one unused skill training spot and is struggling to decide which one to choose.

After a moment's thought, Gu Ling chose [Lightning Flash] to make up for the fact that Xian Jiu lacked speed-related skills.

【Lightning Flash】: A Normal-type skill that attacks the opponent with lightning speed.

"Xian Jiu, are you ready?"

While showing off her dried fish, Xian Jiu raised her head upon hearing her Beastmaster's words. Seeing Gu Ling's outstretched right hand, she couldn't help but recall the [Electric Shock] skill she had suddenly learned at the base's cat kennel…

Immediately, Xian Jiu understood what was happening, and her little face turned serious.

Is its beast tamer going to use magic again?

come on!

It can handle it! (≧≦)

With a soft "meow," Xian Jiu leaped and landed in Gu Ling's arms.

Gu Ling stroked it a couple of times, then placed his right hand on Xian Jiu's head. With a thought, the ancient book in the Beast Taming Space lit up with a white light.

The next second, the skill [Lightning Flash] appeared in Xian Jiu's mind.

[Name]: Thunder Seal Cat (Sword 9)

[Attribute]: Electric (Mutant: Psychic)

[Electric Skill]: Electric Shock (Beginner 10/100)

[Psychic-type skill]: Telekinesis (Beginner 1/100)

[Dark-type move]: Bite (Beginner 70/100)

Gu Ling looked at the updated data of Xian Jiu in the Beast Taming Ancient Book. The skill she had the highest proficiency in was the Dark-type move Bite. For a moment, her gaze towards Xian Jiu was filled with a complex mix of emotions...

How did a perfectly normal Electric-type pet learn a Dark-type move?

Is this the level of skill you gained from playing jailbreak games at the base?

Gu Ling picked up Xian Jiu, who looked a little confused, and solemnly instructed, "Xian Jiu, you can't just chew on things in the house. If you want to chew on something, tell me and I'll go buy you a teething toy."

Xian Jiu blinked her cat-like eyes: "Meow~" Okay~ Can I keep eating my dried fish now?

Gu Ling placed Xian Jiu on the sofa, and the latter happily finished showing off the remaining dried fish before lying down on the sofa contentedly.

Gu Ling looked at Xian Jiu's data again. All of his skills were at the beginner level. So, during the summer vacation, he should try his best to improve his skill proficiency and get familiar with the combat application of various skills.

She knew that the top three in the class placement exam after the start of the school year would receive prize money and pet resources as rewards!

"Xian Jiu, starting tomorrow, I'll train with you! After school starts, you'll battle against the other pets in your class. If you win, you'll get a reward, which you can use to buy lots of dried fish."

Gu Ling understood that what Xian Jiu cared about most was dried fish, so she deliberately added the words "dried fish".

The originally languid Xian Jiu's cat-like eyes blazed with fighting spirit the moment she heard the words "dried fish"!

咪呜

This cat is going to take on three of them by herself! Invincible!

"So, Xian Jiu..." Gu Ling said solemnly, stroking Xian Jiu's head again, "Let's continue!"

Xian Jiu shuddered, and the way she looked at her beast tamer changed.

Gu Ling used 100 points to increase the proficiency of [Lightning Flash] to minor mastery.

[Skill: Lightning Strike (Minor Success 0/500)]

After adding the points, Gu Ling asked Xian Jiu how she felt: "How is it?"

Xian Jiu jumped out of Gu Ling's arms, then flashed and ran quickly around the room, seemingly trailing a trail of lightning behind her. It was impossible to tell that she was a cub that had not yet begun training.

"Miwu"

After a quick warm-up, Xian Jiu snuggled into Gu Ling's arms again.

Gu Ling praised without reservation: "Not bad."

With 938 points remaining, Gu Ling simply upgraded the proficiency of all skills except [Scream] to minor mastery, using a total of 309 points, leaving 629 points.

Considering that she would need to learn new skills later, Gu Ling did not add any more skill points.

"Go play over there for now."

Gu Ling turned on the TV in the living room, clicked on a channel that was showing a professional pet competition, and then got up to go back to her room to get her laptop and tablet.

On the sofa in the living room, Xian Jiu casually glanced at the screen on the TV, but the next second she exploded!

"Meow!!"

The television was showing a spectacular battle between two powerful electric and fire-type pets.

On the screen—

The electric-type pet is bathed in lightning, its figure resembling a thunder god descending to earth. Even a gentle roar seems to carry the power to destroy everything!

The fire-type pet on the other side was equally unwilling to be outdone. With each step it took, the ground instantly crumbled, and streams of magma surged into the sky, burning as if the fire god had angered it!

Xian Jiu darted away and instinctively used a flash of lightning to hide behind a cushion on the sofa.

But as the television continued to play, it couldn't resist peeking out its little head, looking at the screen with a mixture of fear and curiosity.

On the screen, the battle between the two pets was once locked in a stalemate, with each pet adding more wounds to its body, and the battle became increasingly fierce.

"...There's an opportunity! Approach it at high speed!"

"Electric grid! Electromagnetic gun!"

A calm and sharp voice rang out; it belonged to the Beastmaster who commanded the electric-type pets.

A lightning-infused electric grid descended from the sky, trapping the fire-type pet within.

The electric-type pet hovered in mid-air, its throat slightly open, its electromagnetic cannon, brimming with terrifying electrical energy, gradually gathering power.

During the electromagnetic cannon's charge-up phase, the electromagnetic field generated by the power grid briefly paralyzed the body of the opposing fire-type pet.

boom--

The electromagnetic cannon completed its energy charging and accurately struck the already injured fire-type pet.

The terrifying power of lightning caused the fire-type pet to lose consciousness and collapse to the ground.

The referee outside the arena raised his right flag, counted to ten, and when the fire-type pet did not stand up, he announced the result of the match.

"Fire Monster is unable to fight, Thunder Cat wins."

"..."

Xianjiu sat frozen on the sofa, completely stunned.

Those round, jewel-like cat eyes were now reflecting the powerful and beautiful Thunder Cat on the television.

It's etched in my eyes.

It's imprinted in my heart.

lingering.

At this moment, Gu Ling, who had already returned to the living room but was standing aside observing Xian Jiu's reaction, spoke up: "Don't you think Lei Ji Mao is very powerful and beautiful?"

Xian Jiu snapped out of her daze and nodded vigorously!

Their eyes sparkled, filled with a sense of adoration and longing.

"This is your future second-stage evolution, Xian Jiu. As long as you train hard, I believe that one day you will be as powerful and beautiful as this Thunder Cat, standing on the field, defeating your opponents, and winning applause, flowers, prizes... and dried fish from the audience."

As Gu Ling spoke, she walked to the sofa, sat down, and started fiddling with the tablet in her hand.

Xian Jiu rushed to Gu Ling, tilting her little head up, her eyes sparkling: "Meow? Meow!" Really? Really?!
