Beast Taming Begins with Inheriting a Legacy.

Chapter 82 Comprehending New Skills

Gu Ling asked, "Are we really going to create a better training plan for you than for the mischievous kid?"

Upon hearing that it was a better training plan than the Mischievous Kids program, Xian Jiu nodded without hesitation.

Gu Ling sighed and patted Xian Jiu's head with affection in her eyes: "Sigh, maybe we should just forget about it. I can't bear to see you suffer too much, Xian Jiu."

"Xian Jiu, even if you are not as strong as the mischievous ghost and can never beat him, your place in my heart is unshakable."

Xian Jiu was somewhat moved by what she heard.

But the thought that if I don't work hard, I'll never be able to beat the naughty kid makes my competitive spirit kick in.

"Meow!" Xian Jiu shook her head frantically.

I was the first pet to come to the Beastmaster's side, how could I be overshadowed by this naughty newcomer?

Absolutely not! (╬▔皿▔)╯

"...Alright then, I'll help you develop a better training plan and try to help you surpass the mischievous devil as soon as possible." Gu Ling lowered her voice at the end, as if she were secretly plotting with Xian Jiu behind the back of the mischievous devil in the study.

Upon hearing this, Xian Jiu affectionately nuzzled Gu Ling's cheek, saying, "Meow~".

I knew it! The Beast Tamer cares about me the most!

I'm the rightful queen!

That little rascal is nothing more than a concubine!

Seeing that Xian Jiu had taken the bait, Gu Ling chuckled inwardly and immediately told Xian Jiu the training plan she had come up with.

Xian Jiu listened attentively throughout the lecture, afraid of missing anything.

A moment later, Gu Ling downloaded the "study materials" on the tablet, and Xian Jiu couldn't wait to take the tablet and start studying.

After arranging the training plans for the two pets, Gu Ling also began her own meditation training.

"..."

At 23 PM, Gu Ling finished her meditation and knocked on the study door: "You little rascal, it's time to soak in the River Styx."

The mischievous boy emerged from the study, his large, blood-red eyes now showing a hint of weariness: "Hehehe~"

Over the course of several hours, the mischievous boy watched three horror movies in a row, absorbing too much knowledge in a short time, and had not yet had time to digest it.

Gu Ling walked into the bathroom and pushed out an empty wooden tub from the corner.

Then, a whole bottle of Styx water was put into the wooden tub for the mischievous ghost to bathe in. Another bottle was opened, and a small cup of Styx water was poured out every night for the mischievous ghost to drink.

A whole bottle of Styx water, used once a day, will be used seven times, after which the mischievous ghost will have absorbed most of the ghostly energy.

The mischievous boy sat in a wooden barrel filled with Styx water, with a foam tray floating on the surface and a small cup filled with Styx water on it.

On a small stool next to the wooden tub was a bowl of fruit and snacks that Gu Ling had prepared, which the mischievous boy could easily reach out and grab.

The mischievous boy soaked comfortably in the River Styx, taking sips of water every now and then, and then eating a snack.

The Styx River contains ghost energy. If a ghost-type pet doesn't come into contact with the water, it will be affected to some extent. So when the mischievous ghost was taking a bath, Xian Jiu just watched from afar.

At first, Xianjiu was a little envious, but Xianjiu didn't like playing in the water because it would wet its beautiful fur.

Xian Jiu lost interest after only a few glances.

"Mischievous brat, wearing the mysterious skull on your body."

Gu Ling opened the package containing the mysterious skull and stuffed a piece of skull, which was pure white and had fine cracks on its surface, into the mischievous boy's hand.

The mysterious skull is said to be taken from the skull of the ghost-type pet, the Undead Skeleton, because the two are seven or eight parts similar in appearance.

However, according to the official explanation, Gu Ling believes that this is just a naturally formed resource that looks somewhat like a skull, and the exact cause of the mysterious skull's formation is not yet fully known.

"Hehe~" The mischievous ghost looked at the mysterious skull curiously for a few moments, then stuffed it into its stomach.

An hour later, the mischievous boy finished his bath.

Gu Ling covered the wooden tub with the lid, then pushed it back into the corner, planning to soak it again the next evening.

"You naughty girl, go back to sleep." After tidying up, Gu Ling yawned, then picked up Xian Jiu and turned to go back to her room.

The mischievous boy nodded obediently and followed Gu Ling back to his room.

After Gu Ling fell asleep, the mischievous ghost on the ceiling suddenly opened its eyes and chuckled silently.

The mischievous boy glanced at Xian Jiu, who was meditating in the cat's bed, then silently floated out of the room, turned around and darted into the study. He immediately picked up his tablet from the table, put on his headphones, and started playing the next movie.

The mischievous boy has a small goal in mind.

That is--

They successfully scared Gu Ling once.

This concerns its dignity as a Ghost-type pet.

To this end, the mischievous boy sacrificed his sleep time, staying up late to binge-watch TV series and learn the scare tactics used in movies.

Ghost-type pets mainly maintain their stamina and vitality by absorbing ghost energy. They will only choose to sleep to replenish their stamina when they lack ghost energy.

Nowadays, the mischievous ghost is well-fed and well-clothed by Gu Ling's side. He can eat a ghostly jelly with every meal to supplement his nutrition, and he can also soak in the Styx River at night. He doesn't lack ghost energy to replenish his strength, so he doesn't need to sleep.

In the darkness, the mischievous boy secretly squeezed the chubby little hand.

It needs to study hard.

I must successfully scare the beast tamer this time!

Only in this way can we live up to the beast tamer's good intentions.

the other side.

Inside the room, Xian Jiu, who was meditating, opened her eyes and was just about to stretch and change her posture when she suddenly realized that the mischievous ghost was not in the room.

"Meow?" Where did the mischievous kid go?

Xian Jiu turned her head and glanced around. She saw that the room door, which should have been closed, was now ajar, with a small crack showing. So she walked over in confusion.

As Xian Jiu walked out of the room, she noticed a sliver of light coming through the crack in the door of the study.

Xian Jiu closed her eyes and carefully sensed the activity in the study, discovering the mental fluctuations belonging to the mischievous ghost.

Suddenly, Xian Jiu remembered that the mischievous boy had locked her in the study to study all night, and she instantly understood.

You little rascal!

You've been secretly plotting against me, haven't you?

Xian Jiu puffed out her cheeks angrily: "Meow!" Damn it! I can't fall behind!

Thinking of this, Xian Jiu immediately ran back to her room and sat in the cat's bed to continue meditating.

"..."

Over the next two days, during her breaks from meditation, Gu Ling would take the mischievous boy to check on Xian Jiu's training progress.

Xianjiu was clearly working harder than before. While the other pets were resting, she continued to ask the trainers for help with her psychic-type pets, trying to learn how to use Reflect.

Gu Ling nodded with satisfaction.

Sure enough, there is both motivation and pressure. The motivation is the fragrant bubble tea, and the pressure is Xianjiu's top position.

A two-pronged approach yields outstanding results!

This is just the appetizer. Gu Ling is waiting for the studio to produce the video so she can put on a show in front of Xian Jiu and fully unleash Xian Jiu's potential.

……

The afternoon of the third day.

In the training field, Xian Jiu hunched over slightly, his eyes fixed intently on the skills unleashed by the pet beast opposite him.

Bang!Bang!Bang!

Xian Jiu nimbly dodged, and as the final skill wave struck, she propped herself up, raised her right claw, and a faint blue light gathered in her palm, eventually forming a transparent light screen that blocked the attack.

The trainers nearby were quite surprised to see this: "It learned Reflector in less than half a month? This Raikou cat has quite a high aptitude."

As Xian Jiu ran over, the trainer was about to say a few words of praise when he saw Xian Jiu still meowing incessantly with a serious expression, urging the trainer to quickly teach the next hypnosis skill.

After the trainees understood the explanation through the translation provided by their own super-powered pet, they were left speechless, both amused and exasperated.

It's rare to see a pet that's only a few months old yet so talented and hardworking.

Moreover, this Rai-Imprint cat wears a weighted training harness at all times during its training.

The trainees secretly reached out and hugged it; its heavy weight was comparable to that of a small dumbbell.

But the little Leycat showed no signs of discomfort and remained lively and energetic.

"Okay, let's continue then." The trainer nodded.

Anyway, the main instructor was his own pet, the Magician Wand, not him personally.

He was just assisting from the sidelines, so he wasn't too tired.

But as soon as those words were spoken, the trainers received a resentful look from their own pets.

You're not tired, but I am!

Although this is not a battle, it is just a continuous demonstration of skills, teaching Raijin Cat how to use them.

But this not only consumes physical strength, but also mental strength!

Seeing this, the trainer coughed lightly and quickly coaxed, "After we finish this order, I'll take you to eat something delicious. Didn't you always want to try the signature dishes at that Liuyun Restaurant? We'll go after this training."

Upon hearing this, Mr. Mime's eyes lit up, and he immediately became energetic.

"Oopou~"

The Magic Wall Puppet gave Xian Jiu a look and then began to demonstrate its hypnotic skills.

When Gu Ling came to pick up Xian Jiu, the trainers told her that Xian Jiu had already learned how to use the Reflection Wall.

Gu Ling looked at Xian Jiu with great joy: "Xian Jiu, you're amazing! You learned how to use the Reflector so quickly. You truly are my Xian Jiu."

"Meow~" Xian Jiu proudly raised her head.

It's just a simple reflective wall.

I learned it with just a little effort.

Beastmaster, calm down! (●ˇˇ●)

"...Let's go home. Wait, where did the naughty kid go?"

Gu Ling turned her head and found that the mischievous ghost was not floating above her head. After searching around, she saw that the mischievous ghost had floated to the side of the miniature doll not far away.

The miniature doll is learning skills from another trainer's ghost-type pet.

The mischievous boy watched from the side, seemingly quite interested.

Gu Ling recalled that when she brought the mischievous ghost over these past few days, it often floated over to the mini dolls.

"You little rascal, we should go."

Gu Ling carried Xian Jiu over to find the mischievous ghost.

But the next second, Gu Ling saw that the mischievous boy's two chubby little hands seemed to be covered with a ball of black flame.

The mischievous boy casually threw a punch upwards, and a huge, shadowy fist shot out.

"This is... Shadow Fist? A skill the mini-doll is learning?"

Seeing this, Gu Ling was overjoyed.

What auspicious day is today?

The two pets learned a new skill at the same time.

Furthermore, the mischievous kid didn't really participate in the training; he just watched a few times and then supposedly learned it???

Gu Ling excitedly praised, "You little rascal, you're amazing!"

"Hehe~" Hearing Gu Ling's praise, the mischievous boy was also very happy and kept spinning around above Gu Ling's head.

Meanwhile, Xian Jiu puffed out her cheeks.

A cunning and mischievous little devil!

No way! This cat needs to master hypnosis right now!

If a mischievous child can learn one skill, then I, the cat, will learn two!

Gu Ling quickly hugged Xian Jiu, who was struggling to jump down, and gently comforted her, "Xian Jiu was great too. You did very well today. The trainers are about to leave work. How about we come back to learn hypnosis tomorrow?"

"Moreover, the two skills are of different levels of difficulty; the Reflection skill is very difficult to learn."

Hearing this, Xian Jiu finally stopped struggling to go back and learn the new skill, but secretly made up her mind:

Half a month... no, ten days! No, no, no... this cat will learn hypnosis in a week!

I'm the boss, and I absolutely can't let my little brother, this mischievous brat, outdo me.

……

To celebrate Xianjiu and the mischievous Shoucheng both learning new skills, Gu Ling took the two little ones to a famous internet-famous buffet restaurant for a big meal.

After queuing up and going inside to get some food, Gu Ling pointed to the backpack on her seat:

"We can't all go get food; one of us needs to stay here and watch over the items and the space. How about we take turns getting food?"

Neither of the two pets had any objections, eager to enjoy their feast.

In the first episode, Gu Ling and Xian Jiu went to pick up some food, while the mischievous boy stayed behind to watch the seating.

When they arrived at the dessert section, Gu Ling looked at the various desserts and winked at Xian Jiu: "There are so many desserts here, none of which I've ever seen before. If the mischievous boy saw them, he would definitely love them."

Xian Jiu subconsciously pouted.

What that deadbeat likes to eat is none of my business.

"Meow~"

Xian Jiu urged Gu Ling to hurry up and leave, saying that she hadn't picked up any dried fish yet, and the mischievous girl could pick some up herself when she came over.

"Okay, okay, okay."

Gu Ling was about to leave when, as if remembering something, she said with a troubled expression, "But this place is so big, I don't know if the mischievous kid will be able to find this spot later."

"...Oh well, never mind, let's go get the dried fish that Senju likes first."

Upon hearing this, Xian Jiu's gaze unconsciously drifted towards the colorful little desserts.

Xianjiu hesitated.

If the mischievous creature is too stupid and doesn't find this place, will it miss out on these little desserts?

Seeing that Gu Ling was about to leave, Xian Jiu quickly reached out her little paws and grabbed Gu Ling's trouser leg, then pointed to the desserts with her little paws.

"Meow~" Considering that this mischievous little devil is my little brother, I'll give him some to take back!

"Okay, then I'll take a few pieces."

Xian Jiu retorted instinctively: How can a few pieces be enough? There are so many flavors here, you should at least take two pieces of each flavor.

"Then I'll go get two more plates." Gu Ling agreed with a smile, "Xian Jiu, you can use your telekinesis to control the plates and take them back, that way you can get more."

"Meow~"

When Gu Ling and Xian Jiu returned, the mischievous boy happily waved his chubby little hand at the two of them.

Xian Jiu used her telekinesis to place three plates of small desserts on the table in front of the mischievous boy, then proudly raised her chin: "Mew~"

This is a little dessert that I brought back for you.

It must all be eaten! No waste allowed!

The mischievous creature, seeing that these were all desserts it had never tried before, happily picked up a plate of desserts and poured them into its mouth.

After finishing his meal, the mischievous boy licked the remaining cream off the plate while thanking Xian Jiu: "Hehe~" Thank you, Meow God~ Thank you, Boss~

Hearing the mischievous creature call it "boss," Xianjiu's tail wagged excitedly, but it nodded calmly.

"Mwah~" You're welcome~

As the boss, it's my duty to take care of my underlings!
