My beast taming system has absolutely no problems!

The enhancement build involves using amplification skills to boost one's own abilities and then crushing the opponent.

The attrition strategy involves inflicting abnormal statuses on the opponent and slowly whittling them down.

The recovery strategy involves healing while fighting, dragging the game out until the opponent runs out of energy.

These three main tactics all rely on damage-based skills.

But what if there were a pet that could completely prevent the opponent from using this type of skill...?

"It can disable half of the opponent's tactical system."

Lin Sisi answered the question herself, her eyes growing brighter and brighter.

"In the qualifying rounds the day after tomorrow, when my opponents face the Young Fire Lizard, all their strategies for strengthening, healing, and applying status effects will be rendered useless. They'll be forced to rely solely on damage-dealing skills to fight head-on, while my Young Fire Lizard..."

The girl rarely showed a confident smile, "What I'm least afraid of is going head-to-head with someone."

Xia Yu glanced sideways.

This girl is pretty good.

Before he could even explain, she had already analyzed the strategic value of the provocation in great detail.

"But..."

Tang Yun was still a little unwilling, "Two hundred thousand is too much..."

"Is it a lot?"

Lin Sisi smiled and said, "If I can join the school team with this skill, or even win a place in the Donghuang High School competition, 200,000 yuan is nothing."

She looked down at her phone screen, her fingertip hovering over the unlock button, and then looked at Xia Yu.

"Manager Xia, may I scan your code?"

Xia Yu pulled up the payment QR code and thought to himself.

This girl's future is definitely not simple.

Being able to remain calm in the face of a decision involving 200,000 yuan at the age of sixteen is either due to the confidence instilled by one's family background or the decisiveness inherent in one's personality.

Regardless of the type, both are worth maintaining in the long term.

Perhaps... she really could become Cynthia in this world of beast tamers in the future?

"it is good."

Xia Yu waved his phone, gesturing for her to scan the QR code.

Seeing that she couldn't stop her best friend, Tang Yun could only utter harsh words to Xia Yu.

"Manager, you'd better make sure the skills you teach are exactly the same as what you said, otherwise..."

Before the girl could decide what specific threat to make, Xia Yu said, "Don't worry, if you don't learn it or the results aren't satisfactory, the tuition will be refunded."

Tang Yun snorted twice, "You better be like that. My Sisi's dad is the president of the Shanghai Beast Taming Association. Don't even think you can run away with the money!"

Xia Yu was surprised.

No wonder he could spend 200,000 so casually; he must have accidentally wandered into a royal palace...

The two were talking.

"Ding~"

The notification sounded that the payment had been successfully received, and Xia Yu glanced at his phone.

Two hundred thousand in hand.

He ignored Tang Yun, who was still chattering beside him, and placed the move learning machine in front of the baby fire lizard.

[Let's begin the lesson.]

The system notification sounded in Xia Yu's mind, and at the same time, the energy patterns on the surface of the skill learning machine suddenly lit up.

Dark purple light surged from the patterns, transforming into energy threads that coiled around the young fire lizard's body.

A purple halo was reflected in the pupils of the baby fire lizard.

Its body began to tremble slightly.

"Chirp...quack..."

The young fire lizard let out a low growl filled with restraint.

"It's fine."

Lin Sisi squatted down and gently stroked the back of the baby fire lizard.

"Keep going, you can do it!"

The baby fire lizard gripped the ground tightly with its claws, and the flames on its tail flickered violently.

Tang Yun watched from the side, barely daring to breathe, and even forgot to complain.

Xia Yu's heart couldn't help but jump.

Although he appeared confident on the surface, he was actually unsure of himself.

Brother Tongzi said he could teach, but what if the pets in this world are not compatible?

Time passed second by second.

Fortunately, Tongzi performed very steadily in his first match.

[Teaching progress: 90%...95%...100%]

[Ding~ Charmander has successfully learned the move "Taunt"!]

The light gradually faded.

The baby fire lizard stood still and blinked.

"Success?"

Lin Sisi asked nervously.

"You'll know once you try."

Xia Yu stood up and waved to Madam Xue Ling, "Aunt Xue, please cooperate."

Lady Snow Spirit tilted her head, but still walked over and stood opposite the baby fire lizard.

"Use Snow Spirit Dance".

"Snow Spirit's Dance" is Lady Snow Spirit's exclusive skill. After use, it can increase speed and make herself completely immune to physical damage for a short period of time.

Just from the description, you can tell that this is a very powerful profit and loss skill.

According to the Beast Taming Association's rating system, it can reach Grade A.

The skill classification in Beast Taming World is much simpler than the level classification, with six levels from high to low: S, A, B, C, D, and E.

As for "provocation"...

This move from the Pokémon world naturally doesn't have levels.

But to be fair, given its simple yet uniquely powerful effect, it would be unreasonable not to give it an A+ rating.

Upon receiving the command, Lady Snow Spirit gathered her energy, and a layer of strange, icy blue energy instantly appeared around her.

Seeing that the time was right, Xia Yu turned to look at the young fire lizard.

"Young Fire Lizard, use Taunt on Lady Snow Spirit!"

The young fire lizard, having just learned this skill, was clearly a bit rusty.

After staring at Lady Snow Spirit for a while, the young fire lizard flicked its tail, gathered energy, and opened its mouth to let out a sharp cry.

"Chirp!"

Its call wasn't loud, but it had a peculiar penetrating power.

The icy blue energy surrounding Lady Snow Spirit suddenly fluctuated violently, disturbed by an invisible force, and instantly dissipated into countless points of light.

"Eek?"

She froze for a moment.

Although she wasn't particularly skilled in combat, this was the first time Lady Snow Spirit had encountered such a situation in over a decade.

Xia Yu, who was watching from the side, nodded in satisfaction.

The provocation has worked.

Lin Sisi's eyes lit up instantly.

The effect of this skill is exactly as Xia Yu described!

She looked down at the baby fire lizard at her feet.

The little guy has just learned a new skill, and even the flames on his tail seem to be burning brighter than usual. He's excitedly cosplaying as Fan Xiaoqin, spinning around in place.

Lin Sisi squatted down and gently patted the baby fire lizard's head: "Little guy, you'd better do your best in the competition the day after tomorrow."

"Chirp!"

The young fire lizard puffed out its chest, its tail flame shooting up more than a foot high, full of confidence.

"Oh, right."

Xia Yu turned around, took a box of energy cubes from the shelf, and handed it to Lin Sisi.

"Since you are the first customer after our store reopened, this box will be a free gift."

Lin Sisi was stunned for a moment: "This is...?"

"Energy Cube".

Xia Yu explained, "It's made with special spirit fruit, which helps pets recover energy and improve their condition. You can let the young fire lizard eat one or two pieces before training; the effect is much better than ordinary spirit fruit."

Tang Yun leaned closer, examining the unassuming little box of cubes with suspicion: "You didn't make this yourself, did you?"

"It was indeed me who did it."
