Chapter 1054: Days of Evolution to King Level (Two in One)

“What is it going to do?” Mi Jiala asked.

Qiao Sang hesitated, “Maybe it’s going to find Qunbao.”

The two then followed Xiaoting Dragon to the living room and, sure enough, saw it climb onto Qunbao, who was still eating Energy Pills with a helpless expression.

Mi Jiala instantly believed Qiao Sang’s earlier statement that the first thing Xiaoting Dragon saw when it opened its eyes was Qunbao, and she sighed, “It seems Xiaoting Dragon regards Yan Jiaoou as a close relative. But this is good; Yan Jiaoou has the Flame Body characteristic, which is beneficial for the development of the cub.”

Then she thought of something and asked, “Have you contacted Fulaoda Teacher yet?”

“No,” Qiao Sang shook her head.

Mi Jiala turned to look at the empty air beside her and said, “Go bring Fulaoda over.”

Pen Jiami’s voice suddenly echoed in the air: “Pen Pen.”

Qiao Sang suddenly remembered something and couldn’t help but ask, “Why can I still not see the invisible Pen Jiami in normal times, even though I have Spiritual Vision?”

Mi Jiala explained, “There are many ways for Pets to become invisible. Some Pets achieve invisibility by blending into their surroundings, while others do so through illusions and distorting themselves. There are also some Pets that inherently possess the invisibility characteristic. Spiritual Vision generally can only see Pets that purely have the invisibility characteristic.”

So that’s how it is… Qiao Sang suddenly understood and asked again, “Is Pen Jiami’s invisibility method the same as Hidden Turtle Shield’s?”

Mi Jiala was silent for a few seconds and then said, “No, Pen Jiami uses the second method, while Hidden Turtle Shield uses the third.”

Qiao Sang said, “Oh.”

The living room fell silent for a moment, with only the sound of Qunbao eating Energy Pills.

A few seconds later, Mi Jiala finally couldn’t help but ask, “Why did you suddenly ask about Hidden Turtle Shield?”

“Because among the invisible Pets I’ve seen, those few left the deepest impression,” Qiao Sang said. “Especially Hidden Turtle Shield; it was invisible the whole time, so I don’t even know what it looks like.”

Just as Mi Jiala was about to say something more, Pen Jiami appeared out of thin air in the living room with Fulaoda.

“Has Xiaoting Dragon hatched?” Fulaoda asked, holding his equipment.

Mi Jiala indicated the direction of Qunbao with her gaze and said, “It’s right there.”

Fulaoda’s eyes lit up. He went to Qunbao’s side with his equipment and reached out to touch Xiaoting Dragon.

Mi Jiala began, “Be careful…”

Her voice stopped abruptly.

Fulaoda’s hand touched Xiaoting Dragon, and Xiaoting Dragon merely opened its eyes and glanced at him, not showing the expected resistance or flashing lightning.

“Be careful of what?” Fulaoda turned his head and asked.

Mi Jiala was silent for a moment, then said, “Be careful, it just hatched.”

He’s a Trainer; how could he not even know this… Fulaoda inwardly grumbled, then nodded, picked up Xiaoting Dragon, placed it on the ground, and began to examine it with his equipment.

“Ting…”

A cold sensation came over Xiaoting Dragon, and it showed an expression of dissatisfaction. A yellow electric arc, as thin as a strand of hair, emerged.

Seeing this, Mi Jiala’s expression didn’t change much, but she felt inexplicably more comfortable inside.

However, in the next second, Qunbao’s tail tip gently stroked Xiaoting Dragon’s head in a comforting manner.

“Ting…”

The familiar warm sensation spread, and Xiaoting Dragon showed a comfortable expression, the yellow electric arc on its body disappearing.

“Xiao Xunbao…”

Xiao Xunbao, standing nearby, showed a thoughtful expression.

Looking at Xiaoting Dragon, it seemed that if its Yu Beast Master ever contracted it in the future, the possibility of it becoming its younger brother wasn’t very high. It clearly preferred Big Brother Qunbao over itself.

Thinking of this, it couldn’t help but sigh.

If only it hadn’t always been thinking about the Change Clothes Totem back then, it would have hatched this egg itself.

But then, Xiao Xunbao remembered its Mutual Demise characteristic and Shadow Penetration, and it also recalled how Big Brother Qunbao was directly forced into Raging Flames by Mutual Demise in a past competition, and it became spirited again.

When it becomes stronger than Big Brother Qunbao in the future, won’t it have plenty of younger brothers!

Xiao Xunbao was filled with drive. It instantly teleported away to the outdoor training ground to begin training.

“Qingqing…”

Qingbao looked at Xiaoting Dragon, then at the direction of the outdoor training ground, and Wind Transformation followed it out.

Soon, a Typhoon raged at the outdoor training ground.

Xiao Xunbao trained to its heart’s content in the Typhoon.

At the same time, in the living room, Fulaoda finished his examination.

He put down the equipment and said, “Xiaoting Dragon’s body is very healthy, with no problems. However, at this stage, development is the priority. Don’t let it train skills, and don’t let it come into contact with any electrical appliances.”

“Why can’t it touch electrical appliances?” Qiao Sang was a bit confused.

“The electric-type energy within it cannot be controlled yet,” Fulaoda explained. “If it accidentally activates the electric-type energy inside while touching an electrical appliance, it might release lightning and ruin the appliance.”

Upon hearing this, Qiao Sang immediately said seriously, “I will absolutely not let it touch any electrical appliances.”

Fulaoda smiled and said,

“After some time, when Xiaoting Dragon can skillfully release its skills, there shouldn’t be any problems.”

Qiao Sang nodded, indicating understanding.

Fulaoda continued, “It’s best for newly hatched Pets not to eat Energy Pills. Moreover, Xiaoting Dragon is a Dragon-type, and its development is slower. I will formulate Energy Pills for it after two months.”

“For the current stage, I will prepare some easily digestible food for it and have it ready for you in the afternoon.”

Qiao Sang said, “Thank you, Teacher.”

Then she thought of something and asked, “What is Xiaoting Dragon’s gender?”

“It’s male,” Fulaoda said.

As the two talked, Xiaoting Dragon had already climbed back onto Qunbao.

After Fulaoda left, Mi Jiala, not giving up, went to Xiaoting Dragon and extended her hand.

At this time, Xiaoting Dragon was not sleeping. It stared at the outstretched hand and, without a word, yellow electric arcs crackled around its body.

The power of the electric arcs was practically nothing to Qunbao. It felt nothing and even let out a burp.

Mi Jiala silently withdrew her hand.

She now strongly suspected that Xiaoting Dragon had an issue with her, but that shouldn’t be the case; this was her first meeting with Xiaoting Dragon…

Xiaoting Dragon noticed the gaze, silently shifted its body, and pointed its tail towards Mi Jiala.

Mi Jiala: “…”

…

At noon, Qiao Sang sat at the dining table, enjoying her lunch.

Qunbao and the others were eating Energy Pills.

And Xiaoting Dragon sat close to Qunbao, drinking milk by coiling its tail around the bottle.

After Qunbao finished its Energy Pills, it walked towards the outdoor training ground.

Xiaoting Dragon silently followed behind.

“Xiaoting Dragon,” Qiao Sang called out.

Xiaoting Dragon turned its head.

“Would you like to come over here?” Qiao Sang asked with a friendly smile.

Qunbao’s training caused too much damage to the ground, and it wouldn’t be good if Xiaoting Dragon was accidentally affected.

Xiaoting Dragon heard the familiar voice, hesitated for a moment, and then, still holding the milk bottle with its tail, turned around and crawled towards Qiao Sang.

It’s quite well-behaved… Qiao Sang felt deeply comforted.

Just then, the phone on the dining table rang.

Xiaoting Dragon’s gaze was instantly drawn to it.

Qiao Sang glanced at the caller ID, picked up, and answered the phone.

“Have you eaten lunch?” Her mother’s voice came from the speaker.

“I’m eating now,” Qiao Sang said, glancing at Xiaoting Dragon beside her, and added, “Mom, it’s good you called. There’s something I wanted to tell you.”

“What is it?” Ye Xiangting asked.

“Do you remember the Xiaoting Dragon egg from the Regional Competition reward? It hatched last night.”

“That fast!” Ye Xiangting was both surprised and delighted.

Qiao Sang hummed, then turned on the video function and aimed the screen directly at Xiaoting Dragon.

“Ting…”

Xiaoting Dragon looked at itself on the video,愣 for a moment, looking adorably clueless.

“It’s my first time seeing a Xiaoting Dragon, it’s so cute!” Ye Xiangting said excitedly.

Then she remembered something and asked worriedly, “You don’t have a new contract page right now, what will Xiaoting Dragon do?”

Qiao Sang turned the video in a different direction and said, “I’ll just keep it by my side for now, and contract it when I can. You know, I’m already a B-level Beast Tamer, so even if a Pet isn’t contracted, I can still carry it with me.”

As they talked, Xiaoting Dragon put down its milk bottle, shifted its body, climbed onto Qiao Sang’s shoulder, and continued to stare at itself on the screen.

Upon hearing this, Ye Xiangting felt relieved. She saw Xiaoting Dragon reappear in the video and said with a smile, “It looks like it has a very good relationship with you.”

“Of course,” Qiao Sang said with a proud tone. “I’m always very popular with Pets. Last time in Zhiya District, a wild Ghost-type Pet even wanted to contract with me.”

“Speaking of which, I heard someone say,” Ye Xiangting gossiped, “did you defeat an A-grade Beastmaster in Zhiya District? Is that true?”

Qiao Sang: “…”

Qiao Sang explained, “That Yu Beast Master…”

At the same time, Xiaoting Dragon’s head slowly approached the screen.

“Xiao Xunbao~”

Xiao Xunbao, standing nearby, seemed to understand Xiaoting Dragon’s intention and called out to it.

Xiaoting Dragon stopped its movement and looked over.

“Xiao Xunbao~”

Seeing this, Xiao Xunbao’s heart stirred. It suddenly felt that this younger brother might not be impossible to ‘dig up.’ It took off its ring, pulled out its phone from inside, and shook it at Xiaoting Dragon.

Xiaoting Dragon stared at the phone for two seconds, then shifted its body and crawled towards Xiao Xunbao, reaching its side.

“Xiao Xunbao?”

Xiao Xunbao called out, indicating, ‘Want to play?’

“Ting.”

Xiaoting Dragon nodded.

“Xiao Xunbao~”

Xiao Xunbao shook the phone again and called out, indicating, ‘Call me boss and I’ll let you play.’

“Ting, Ting.”

Xiaoting Dragon didn’t understand what ‘boss’ meant, but still tried its best to pronounce and call out.

“Xiao Xunbao~”

Xiao Xunbao was happy and handed the phone over.

Steel Treasure was eating Energy Pills and looked up just in time to see this scene.

It suddenly remembered what the Trainer had said and wanted to remind them:

“Steel…”

However, at this moment, Xiaoting Dragon’s tail had already coiled around the phone.

Nothing happened.

Steel Treasure was silent for a moment, then ignored it and lowered its head to continue eating Energy Pills.

“Xiao Xunbao~”

Xiao Xunbao saw that Xiaoting Dragon didn’t have claws to play with the phone, so it kindly took the phone from its tail, placed it in front of it, and called out, indicating that it would be easier to play with its tail if it was on the table.

As it spoke, it even pointed to Xiaoting Dragon’s tail.

“Ting.”

Xiaoting Dragon imitated Xiao Xunbao’s guidance and touched the phone with the tip of its tail.

Just as the tip of its tail touched the phone, an electric current surged.

With a “bang!” the phone exploded.

“Xiao Xunbao!”

Xiao Xunbao let out a sky-shattering wail.

Qiao Sang was startled and turned to look.

“What happened? Why did I hear an explosion?” Ye Xiangting asked worriedly from the other end of the phone.

“Nothing, just a phone exploding,” Qiao Sang said, calming down.

Ye Xiangting: “???”

Qiao Sang chatted with her mother for a few sentences and then hung up the phone.

“Xiao Xunbao!”

“Xiao Xunbao!”

Xiao Xunbao was beside the phone, burying its head, pounding the table, and weeping uncontrollably.

“Ting…”

Xiaoting Dragon stood beside it, looking bewildered.

Qiao Sang rubbed her forehead and said with a slight headache, “I forgot to tell you, when you were training outside earlier, Fulaoda Teacher said not to let Xiaoting Dragon touch electrical appliances. Currently, its electric-type energy cannot be controlled very well, and if it touches something, it might activate its electric-type energy and release lightning, causing the appliance to explode.”

“Xiao Xunbao!”

“Xiao Xunbao!”

Upon hearing this, Xiao Xunbao cried even louder.

It didn’t know!

Steel Treasure buried its head, eating Energy Pills, pretending it didn’t know anything either.

“Qingqing…”

Qingbao saw this scene and felt inexplicably comfortable inside, a gentle breeze wafting around it.

Forget it, Xiao Xunbao is already so miserable, I won’t blow Typhoon near it anymore.

Just then, Qiao Sang said, “Stop crying. I can buy you a new phone.”

Xiao Xunbao stopped crying and suddenly looked up.

“The premise is that you have to earn it yourself,” Qiao Sang said with a smile.

…

Evening, 9:30 PM.

Xiao Xunbao was in front of the computer, seriously looking at the tasks it could accept on the Imperial Beast Academy’s official website.

Its Yu Beast Master said that as long as it earned 1000 points, she would buy it a new phone, so it had to work hard to earn points.

“Ting…”

Xiaoting Dragon slowly moved to Xiao Xunbao’s side.

“Xiao Xunbao!”

Xiao Xunbao heard the movement, turned its head to see Xiaoting Dragon, was startled, and quickly hugged its laptop, teleporting into mid-air, using its psychic power to control the computer to float while searching for tasks.

Xiaoting Dragon looked up, stared at Xiao Xunbao and the computer for two seconds, then began to exert itself, trying to jump into mid-air.

It kept trying to jump.

However, it could only manage to lift the tip of its tail about one centimeter off the ground at most.

Xiao Xunbao looked down, felt relieved, and continued to check the tasks it could accept.

“Ting, Ting…”

Xiaoting Dragon started to get more and more agitated with its jumping, and yellow electric arcs appeared on its body.

Suddenly, a gust of wind blew, lifting it into mid-air.

Xiaoting Dragon seemed to sense something and turned to look.

“Qingqing.”

Qingbao gave it a sweet smile.

“Ting, Ting…”

Xiaoting Dragon imitated Qingbao, trying hard to grin.

A gentle breeze surged, carrying it to Xiao Xunbao’s side.

“Xiao Xunbao!”

Xiao Xunbao was so scared that it quickly teleported again with its laptop.

“Qingqing!”

Qingbao saw Xiao Xunbao’s reaction and couldn’t help but hold its stomach and burst out laughing.

“Ting Ting!”

Xiaoting Dragon, seeing Qingbao laughing, seemed to be infected and also started laughing loudly.

“Xiao Xunbao…”

Xiao Xunbao showed a helpless expression, its paw touching the computer.

The next second, it and the computer both went invisible.

“Ting Ting!” Xiaoting Dragon was still laughing loudly.

Qingbao: “…”

Qingbao’s personality is really changing more and more… Qiao Sang held her book, unable to help but sigh inwardly.

Suddenly, her phone vibrated.

Qiao Sang picked it up and looked.

It was a message from the Imperial Beast Academy’s official backend:

[Dear Qiao Sang, your reserved spot for the Energy Bath will open tomorrow morning at 9:00 AM. Please bring your student ID and arrive at the Energy Hall on time.]

Tomorrow… Qiao Sang’s eyes lit up. She put down her phone and looked at Steel Treasure.

Steel Treasure had already sensed its Yu Beast Master’s thoughts, its eyes also lit up, and it nodded at its Yu Beast Master.

If nothing unexpected happened, tomorrow would be the day it completely evolved into a King-level. (End of Chapter)
