Beast Taming: Starting From Zero

Chapter 107: Training

Little Treasure Hunting Ghost is different from Fire Fang Dog.

Fire Fang Dog cares about becoming stronger, and regarding training, no matter what Qiao Sang says, Fire Fang Dog unconditionally trusts her.

However, Little Treasure Hunting Ghost has a stronger desire to explore new things and is more curious. When she was at Liu Gan Stream, she would follow any insects or birds to observe them up close.

Even when Third Aunt was cooking the fish for the first time, she had to follow her into the kitchen to watch.

Although Little Treasure Hunting Ghost hasn’t started real training yet, her unique ideas are evident in how she corrects her teleportation movements.

She wouldn’t give up until she farted.

“Xun!”

Little Treasure Hunting Ghost pointed at her butt again, then pointed outside the door.

“I know you want to teleport further, but that’s not achieved by farting; it’s by intention,” Qiao Sang said, emphasizing the word “intention.”

Little Treasure Hunting Ghost seemed to understand vaguely, then turned her head to look at her butt.

“Xun?”

Qiao Sang: “…”

“Because you are a Ghost-type creature, your species doesn’t fart. Just like Ya Bao can breathe fire when she’s born but can’t float in the air like you, you can float when you’re born but can’t breathe fire like Ya Bao.”

“That spiny seahorse you saw that can fart in the water can’t float in the air like you, and you can’t stay in the water like it either.”

“Everyone is different; this is determined at birth,” Qiao Sang explained.

She had explained this issue several times before, even looking up the physical structure of Ghost-type Pets online and reading it to Little Treasure Hunting Ghost.

But Little Treasure Hunting Ghost was still young, and if the explanation was too complex, she wouldn’t understand, so Qiao Sang had to use a simpler, more understandable way of speaking.

“Xun!”

Little Treasure Hunting Ghost suddenly understood.

Qiao Sang breathed a sigh of relief; she finally understood…

“What you need to do now is to stop those movements before teleporting; you have to break this habit,” Qiao Sang seized the opportunity to say.

Teleportation is a type of extrasensory perception, focusing on instantaneous actions.

If there are these movements before moving, it’s fine normally, but in a battle, it would be a major weakness.

Little Treasure Hunting Ghost blinked without speaking, then instantly disappeared from the bedside and reappeared on the ceiling.

“Xun~”

Little Treasure Hunting Ghost called out from the ceiling, and the next second, she reappeared by the bed.

“Xun.”

Qiao Sang: “…!”

So you can do it! So all that clenching her fists and holding her breath before was just because she wanted to fart, right?

Qiao Sang was silent for a moment, suppressing the urge to complain: “You’re doing great, that’s exactly it.”

“Xun~”

Little Treasure Hunting Ghost looked at her Yu Beast Master with an innocent expression.

Looking at Little Treasure Hunting Ghost, Qiao Sang inexplicably wanted to draw a Spiritual Mark on her face. It didn’t matter if it wasn’t successful; she just wanted to practice.

Just as she was about to take out her materials, her phone, which was thrown aside, rang.

Because she was still waiting for the notification to receive 5 million yuan, the volume had been set to maximum recently, and the ringtone directly drowned out the sound from the TV.

Qiao Sang picked up her phone and glanced at it. As soon as she answered, before she could speak, her mother on the other end spoke first.

“Hurry up and pack; come back tomorrow. Your school teacher just called me.”

Qiao Sang was stunned for a moment and asked, “Which school?”

“Which other school could it be? Saint Water Middle School. They said you’re a special recruit and have been selected for the Yu Chong Class,” her mother said cheerfully on the other end of the phone. “It’s the key class. They want you to report tomorrow, and all the children selected for this class have to attend intensive training.”

She had finally gotten a two-month holiday after the high school entrance exam, where she could wake up naturally every day. But only half of it had passed when she received the bad news about intensive training.

Qiao Sang’s mood was somewhat complex. On one hand, she was happy to be selected for the key class, but on the other hand, she thought of the days dominated by alarm clocks…

“Hello, did you hear me?” Seeing no sound from the other end of the phone, her mother asked.

“I heard you. Does the intensive training require boarding?” Qiao Sang quickly accepted the reality.

“Probably. I didn’t ask. You come over tomorrow and report first. If you need to board, call me, and I’ll bring you whatever you need,” her mother said.

“Okay.” Qiao Sang had no objections.

“Oh, by the way, I’ve already called your Third Aunt, but you should tell Third Aunt and Grandma in person again. Make sure to clearly explain the reason for leaving,” her mother added immediately.

Qiao Sang: “…”

“Okay.”

Her mother’s little scheme was too obvious.

After hanging up the phone, Qiao Sang no longer felt like practicing Spiritual Marks. She would have plenty of time to practice later; now was the time to enjoy the last few hours of her holiday!

“Let’s go watch TV!” Qiao Sang said, then walked towards Fire Fang Dog.

“Xun~”

Little Treasure Hunting Ghost happily called out and followed behind.

The next morning, the long-unheard alarm clock rang, and Qiao Sang struggled to get up.

She opened her sleepy eyes and found that Fire Fang Dog and Little Treasure Hunting Ghost were already drinking milk on their own.

Youth… childhood is truly wonderful.

After washing up and tidying her things, it was only 7:52 AM.

In the main house where they usually ate, Third Aunt kept bringing food from the kitchen.

“Why are you up so early today?” Third Aunt smiled at Qiao Sang. “You used to sleep until after 9 o’clock these past few days.”

Qiao Sang looked at the unusually lavish breakfast and said, “Third Aunt, don’t tease me. You already know, and you specially made so much delicious food this morning.”

“Oh, your mom already called me and told me. A key class, and from Saint Water Middle School, that’s incredible!” Third Aunt exclaimed.

“I just found out too.” Qiao Sang sat down. “Are Third Uncle and the others not up yet?”

“They’re all not up yet; they’re all very lazy,” Third Aunt said.

Qiao Sang: “…”

It seemed she was the last one to wake up before…

After breakfast, everyone else was still in their rooms. Qiao Sang asked Third Aunt to say goodbye on her behalf and then set off for the train station.

Hanggang City’s train station was relatively close to Saint Water Middle School, which was why Ye Xiangting suggested her daughter report there first.

Because it was still summer vacation, there weren’t many people near Saint Water Middle School.

Last time, Qiao Sang, as an outsider, entered through the North Gate, but this time she could use the South Gate.

Qiao Sang stood in front of the South Gate, looking at the hundred-meter-long, tens-of-meters-high gate and the imposing school plaque above it.

The school gate is an important symbol of a school. Undoubtedly, Saint Water Middle School demonstrated the standard of being the top Yu Beast Middle School in Hanggang City through its facade.

The gate was closed, but a guard could be seen in the security room on the side.

Qiao Sang walked over and said to the window, “Uncle, I’m here to report today. Please let me in.”

The security guard sitting inside looked up and saw the Fire Fang Dog in the visitor’s arms and the Treasure Hunting Ghost on her head, then froze for a long while.

“Report? Are you a second-year or third-year high school student? I don’t think I’ve seen you before,” the security guard said hesitantly.

“I’m a new student this year. The school notified me yesterday to report today,” Qiao Sang replied.

The security guard was stunned for a moment, then his eyes suddenly widened.

New student?!
