Beast Taming: Starting From Zero

Chapter 1046: Little treasure hunter needs training (two in one)

Bo Sai Manor, Room 101.

Bedroom.

Xiao Xunbao watched the news on TV.

“Today at 4:56 PM, a Yu Beast Master and Ghost Ring King captured a man. At the time, a Typhoon swept away the man’s clothes, and he transformed into a Change Clothes Totem. The Ghost Ring King was no match for the Change Clothes Totem, allowing it to escape.”

“According to witnesses, this异色 Ghost Ring King was not the wanted Ghost Ring King. The wanted Ghost Ring King was actually the Change Clothes Totem in disguise. The Ghost Ring King’s Yu Beast Master, in an effort to clear the Ghost Ring King’s name, used various methods to locate the Change Clothes Totem and bravely attempted to capture it. Currently, the Public Security Bureau has launched an investigation…”

The TV screen switched to surveillance footage. In the relatively clear video, a Typhoon blew over a blonde, blue-eyed man, sweeping away all his belongings. The man twisted and transformed into a Change Clothes Totem.

Immediately after, a girl with a ponytail stood opposite the man, loudly proclaiming the Ghost Ring King’s innocence.

The Change Clothes Totem said nothing, its eyes glowing blue as it looked at the Ghost Ring King.

The Ghost Ring King inexplicably appeared in its hand, then its eyes rolled back, and it fell unconscious.

The Change Clothes Totem disappeared.

The Ghost Ring King fell from mid-air.

The surveillance footage froze.

Xiao Xunbao changed the channel.

“Today at 4:56 PM, on Kaozuo Street, a Yu Beast Master with a Ghost Ring King…”

It was still the same news.

Xiao Xunbao watched in silence.

“Ya Ya?”

Ya Bao sensed that Xiao Xunbao was a little off. It came to its Yu Beast Master’s side and whispered, asking if Xiao Xunbao was in a bad mood right now?

“You can tell, so how could it be good…?” Qiao Sang also whispered:

“It seems so.”

“Ya Ya?” Ya Bao was puzzled.

Hadn’t its name already been cleared?

“Ya Ya!”

After speaking, it seemed to think of something, suddenly understanding. It instinctively raised its voice, asking if it was because that guy hadn’t been caught?

“This should just be one reason…” Qiao Sang guessed.

To be honest, she felt that more than anything, it was because Xiao Xunbao had been effortlessly defeated in broad daylight, and then it was repeatedly broadcast on various news channels on TV.

One must know, although Xiao Xunbao was usually playful and preferred playing to training, it was exceptionally serious during battles and always wanted to win.

She knew it enjoyed the feeling of being cheered by everyone after a victory.

Enjoying implied caring.

In other words, it felt embarrassed.

Just as she was thinking, the TV turned off.

Xiao Xunbao silently floated towards the door.

“What are you going to do?” Qiao Sang asked.

“Xun Xun!”

Xiao Xunbao turned its head, its eyes teary and snot dripping, but its expression was full of determination.

It was going to train!

With that, it turned to continue floating outside.

“Wait.” Qiao Sang said.

“Xun Xun!”

Xiao Xunbao turned its head again, firmly calling out, indicating, “Don’t stop me!”

Why would I stop you if you want to train…? Qiao Sang muttered to herself, then slowly said:

“Your solo training consumes energy too slowly. To quickly consume energy, you still need to battle. I’ll have Ya Bao and the others accompany you.”

“Ya Ya!”

Ya Bao called out, indicating it had no problem.

Lu Bao jumped out of the water tank without a word and walked towards the door, showing with its actions that it also had no problem.

“Steel Sword.”

Steel Treasure nodded, indicating it was fine.

“Qing Qing.”

Qing Bao looked at Xiao Xunbao with sympathetic eyes, then called out, indicating that since everyone else was going, it would go too.

Xiao Xunbao’s body stiffened. After looking at Ya Bao, Lu Bao, and Steel Treasure, it remembered the news of its defeat being repeatedly broadcast. Gritting its teeth, it nodded with an expression as if going to its heroic demise:

“Xun Xun!”

Soon, Xiao Xunbao and the others left one after another.

“Didn’t you say you were going?” Qiao Sang asked Qing Bao.

“Qing Qing…”

Qing Bao was in a bad mood, and the Wind around its body kept blowing. It called out, indicating that its presence didn’t seem to make much difference anyway, since Ya Bao and the others were already helping with the battle.

It had just noticed that Xiao Xunbao didn’t look at it when it left, clearly not considering its combat power.

“Who said it wouldn’t make much difference…?”

Before Qiao Sang could finish speaking, a sudden earth-shattering scream of “Xun Xun!” came from outside.

“Qing Qing!”

Qing Bao immediately perked up and called out, indicating, “You’re absolutely right, I must go.”

With that, it impatiently transformed into Wind and floated outside, as if to watch the excitement.

Qiao Sang: “…”

No, I haven’t said anything yet…

“Gui Gui?”

At this moment, Gui Naoke, sitting in front of the computer, called out.

I almost forgot about you… Qiao Sang turned to look at it, paused for a moment, and said apologetically:

“Sorry, I don’t understand what you’re saying.”

Gui Naoke didn’t speak, but just turned and typed a line of text on the computer, then pointed to the screen.

Qiao Sang walked over and saw:

“Do you still need me to look?”

You can even type… Qiao Sang said without thinking:

“Yes.”

Gui Naoke said nothing more and raised its paw, preparing to reach into the screen.

“Wait a moment.” Qiao Sang said, pulling out her phone. She searched for a black miniature shrinking bracelet, placed it on the table, and said:

“Besides the Change Clothes Totem, you can also look for Pets or people wearing this style of miniature shrinking bracelet.”

Xiao Xunbao’s lost hair accessory had been recovered, so it was no longer possible to search through it. She had noticed that after all of the Change Clothes Totem’s belongings were gone, only a black miniature shrinking bracelet remained.

The bracelet was a major brand, and the style was a classic, existing even before she went to Super Dormant Star, so it wasn’t hard to find.

“Gui Gui.”

Gui Naoke nodded.

Then it seemed to think of something and typed four words:

“I understand.”

“Thank you for your trouble.” Qiao Sang said.

Gui Naoke typed again:

“No trouble, it’s all work. Just remember to pay the remaining nine points when it’s done.”

Qiao Sang: “…”

Gui Naoke’s paw reached into the screen.

At the same time, her phone vibrated.

Qiao Sang picked it up. It was from Teacher Mi Jiala. She answered:

“Hello?”

The voice on the other end came: “Where are you now?”

“At home.” Qiao Sang said.

“Wait for me.”

“Beep beep…” The call ended.

The next second, Teacher Mi Jiala’s voice rang out:

“I’m here.”

Qiao Sang came to the living room.

Mi Jiala sat on the sofa, looking at her, and went straight to the point:

“I saw the news.”

It’s a good thing Xiao Xunbao isn’t here right now… Qiao Sang sat down on the single sofa nearby, sighing deeply:

“It’s just as the news said, and just as I guessed. All those things were done by the Change Clothes Totem disguised as Xiao Xunbao. Although we found it, it was unfortunately on the street, and there were too many people around, so we didn’t dare to use particularly aggressive moves. Some of Xiao Xunbao’s control-type skills couldn’t restrain it at all…”

As she spoke, Qiao Sang immediately thought of something and asked:

“Teacher, since you saw the news, you must have also seen the footage of the Change Clothes Totem controlling Xiao Xunbao to its side. At that time, I tried to recall Xiao Xunbao into the yu beast codex, but why couldn’t I recall it?”

“That’s because the Change Clothes Totem used Imprisonment on its hand. Pets held in its hand cannot be recalled.” Mi Jiala explained.

So that’s how it is… Qiao Sang suddenly understood.

Imprisonment, a high-level Superpower System skill. It restrains the opponent, preventing the restrained target from moving, using any movement-type skills, and being recalled by the Yu Beast Master.

Qiao Sang was silent for a few seconds, then said:

“It seems this Change Clothes Totem is already very familiar with this world.”

Mi Jiala agreed:

“This Change Clothes Totem is not simple. It can speak human language and use Imprisonment to prevent Pets from being recalled by Yu Beast Masters. It’s very different from ordinary wild Pets. It’s not your fault that it escaped this time; it is indeed very cunning.”

Qiao Sang sighed:

“I don’t know when we’ll find it again.”

“You don’t need to look for it anymore.” Mi Jiala said: “I initially thought it was a different colored Pet that looked like a Ghost Ring King, so I was quite interested. Now that you’ve found the Change Clothes Totem and made it reveal its true form in front of everyone, clearing the Ghost Ring King’s name, this matter is settled. You don’t need to do this task anymore.”

“What you need to do now is to constantly check the Ghost Ring King’s energy status and have Steel Sword Falcon train Abyssal Bite.”

“I’m afraid I can’t not do it.” Qiao Sang said.

Mi Jiala looked over: “Why?”

As soon as she finished speaking, a loud “Boom!” sounded from outside, followed by a tragic cry of “Xun Xun!”

Qiao Sang sighed, then said:

“Xiao Xunbao is now determined to become stronger and wants to catch the Change Clothes Totem to redeem itself. I can’t stop it.”

How can a Yu Beast Master not be able to stop their Pet? I think you don’t want to stop it… Mi Jiala turned her head and looked at the training ground through the French window, then said:

“I understand. As you wish.”

Qiao Sang tentatively asked:

“Then the task you assigned…?”

Mi Jiala knew what she wanted to ask and said with a smile in her voice:

“As long as you catch the Change Clothes Totem within the time frame I specified, you’ll still get the points.”

The points spent on Gui Naoke weren’t wasted… Qiao Sang breathed a sigh of relief.

“What did the Dean want to talk to you about?” Mi Jiala changed the subject.

Upon hearing this, Qiao Sang’s spirits lifted: “She said she applied for a spot in the energy bath for me, which is in a week.”

Mi Jiala calmly said:

“Di Class members who make significant contributions are inherently eligible for one opportunity to go to the energy bath. You contracted a legendary Pet, which can certainly be considered a huge contribution, so you are indeed eligible for the energy bath.”

As she spoke, she glanced at Qiao Sang:

“The Dean is quite considerate to you, personally applying for you.”

Qiao Sang nodded in agreement: “Indeed, she also gave me ten thousand points.”

“How many points?” Mi Jiala was stunned.

“Ten thousand points.” Qiao Sang repeated.

Mi Jiala fell silent.

After a few seconds, she changed the subject again:

“I heard you also went to the police station today.”

Qiao Sang hummed: “It was about the Change Clothes Totem, helping the police with their investigation.”

She thought of something and began to gossip:

“Did you see the Xiao Nvhai who was next to me in the news? You wouldn’t believe it, but the Change Clothes Totem has actually been with this Xiao Nvhai all this time, and occasionally even transformed into her to help her skip class. Didn’t the information you gave me say that the ‘Ghost Ring King’ shattered the glass of a certain school and stole a certain student’s homework? That school is the Xiao Nvhai’s school, and the homework was also the Xiao Nvhai’s. It only did these things because the Xiao Nvhai said she didn’t want to go to school.”

The Change Clothes Totem was difficult to catch, but the associated Xiao Nvhai was easily brought to the police station. Even if she was unwilling to speak, she had no secrets in front of the Pet that could make people tell the truth.

Qiao Sang had uncovered the identity of the “Ghost Ring King,” and the police therefore didn’t keep it a secret.

Upon hearing this news, she even checked and found that when the school’s glass mysteriously shattered, the school indeed closed for several days to investigate the cause.

Mi Jiala perked up her ears, listening intently, then gossiped in a calm tone:

“I also heard that later, a man wearing only boxer briefs ran into the police station.”

“That was the girl’s father.” Qiao Sang explained:

“Today, the Change Clothes Totem attended school in the girl’s place. Unfortunately, it encountered me. At first, I didn’t notice anything amiss. I saw the girl communicating with her father in human language and went back. Later, I realized something was wrong, and when I looked for her again, I found the real girl.”

“The Change Clothes Totem also felt something was wrong because I initially brought the Ghost Ring King to find it. So later, when I found the Xiao Nvhai, it knocked out the girl’s father, stripped him of his clothes, and wore them itself to impersonate him.”

Mi Jiala listened, then said with a smile:

“It seems it also has Space Movement. Since the Change Clothes Totem and the Xiao Nvhai have such a good relationship, you might be able to find it by following the Xiao Nvhai’s whereabouts.”

The police should already be doing that… Qiao Sang glanced out the window and said:

“Xiao Xunbao has rarely been spurred to train, so I’ll let it train well during this time.”

Otherwise, even if they found the Change Clothes Totem, they wouldn’t be able to defeat it.

Xiao Xunbao was training so desperately, it probably wanted to defeat the Change Clothes Totem itself.

Mi Jiala stopped talking about this topic and changed the subject:

“It’s time to buy the Excitement Potion.”

Qiao Sang nodded:

“Understood.”

Just as she finished speaking, there was another loud “Boom” from outside.

Qiao Sang looked at Xiao Xunbao, who had fallen to the ground outside the French window, and said:

“I’ll go over for a moment.”

Outdoor training ground.

With a loud “Boom,” a shockwave wrapped in flames exploded in the sky.

Xiao Xunbao dodged in time, teleporting to a spot a hundred meters away.

But at that moment, hundreds of purple sharp blades struck.

Xiao Xunbao teleported again.

When it appeared dozens of meters away, a Mega Ice Cone, like a small mountain, heavily smashed onto its body.

“Bang!”

“Xun Xun…”

Xiao Xunbao was smashed to the ground, seeing stars, and directly fainted.

“Qing Qing…”

Qing Bao, in mid-air, half-covered its eyes with its paw, somewhat unable to bear watching.

The “Ice Mountain” disappeared.

The gem on Lu Bao’s forehead glowed.

A幽blue light enveloped Xiao Xunbao.

“Xun Xun!”

Not long after, Xiao Xunbao floated up again, full of spirit, indicating to continue.

At this moment, Qiao Sang walked over and said:

“Don’t continue yet.”

“Xun Xun!”

Xiao Xunbao looked at its Yu Beast Master, its expression firm as it called out, indicating that it had no problem at all and could continue.

“That’s not what I mean.” Qiao Sang said:

“With this kind of battle, you can only dodge with Instant Movement. You fall without using many other skills, so it doesn’t serve the purpose of consuming energy.”

As she spoke, she looked at Ya Bao and the others, instructing:

“You need to slow down your attack frequency, so Xiao Xunbao has a chance to counterattack and use other skills.”

“Ya Ya!”

“Ice Emperor.”

“Steel Sword.”

Ya Bao and the others nodded, indicating they understood.

Qiao Sang looked at Xiao Xunbao and smiled:

“You can continue now.”

After speaking, she turned and went back.

Xiao Xunbao: “…”

I wonder if I can update tomorrow.
