Beast Taming: Starting From Zero

Chapter 1091: Poisonous Ball Mushroom (2 in 1)

“Xiaoting!”

Xiaoting Dragon looked at Mi Jiala, an angry expression on its face, and yellow electric arcs crackled around its body.

Qiao Sang sighed inwardly, but outwardly, she said righteously:

“Teacher, I’ve told you many times that my next Contracted slot is already confirmed for Xiaoting Dragon. Why did you specifically ask Dragon King to bring Little Mo Dragon and Mo Li Dragon over?”

To be honest, she was touched. Not to mention the bloodline and talent of Little Mo Dragon and Mo Li Dragon, just looking at the color of Mo Li Dragon, she knew that Teacher Mi Jiala and Dragon King had carefully selected them and put in a lot of effort. If she hadn’t met Xiaoting Dragon first, and if Xiaoting Dragon hadn’t met all her expectations, she might have truly wavered.

After all, a uniquely colored Dragon-type Pet is not something you can contract just by having money.

Moreover, this was Yan Tian Star, where Pet have the right of self-selection. Little Mo Dragon and Mo Li Dragon coming here meant they were willing to contract with her.

If a Pet willingly contracts with a Yu Beast Master, the difficulty of training it is significantly reduced.

Unfortunately, Xiaoting Dragon was right beside her, so she couldn’t say anything too emotional.

“I specifically asked Dragon King to bring Little Mo Dragon and Mo Li Dragon over?” Mi Jiala was stunned when she heard this, feeling both annoyed and amused.

Just as she was about to say something, Dragon King stepped forward and called out in a majestic tone:

“Mog Mog?”

As soon as this was said, Qiao Sang noticed that Xiaoting Dragon, Little Mo Dragon, and Mo Li Dragon all looked in her direction.

Mi Jiala helped translate:

“It’s asking if you think Little Mo Dragon and Mo Li Dragon are inferior to Xiaoting Dragon?”

“Teacher, you’re setting me up…” Qiao Sang said earnestly, “No, it’s just that I’ve already decided on Xiaoting Dragon.”

“Xiaoting…”

The electric arcs on Xiaoting Dragon’s body disappeared.

Regarding this, it felt a little displeased with the first half of the answer, but also a little touched by the latter half.

Little Mo Dragon and Mo Li Dragon subconsciously looked at Dragon King.

“Mog Mog.”

Dragon King’s expression remained unchanged as it continued to call out in a majestic tone.

Mi Jiala was silent for a moment, then helped translate:

“You are someone who will participate in the Interstellar Cup in the future. You should contract with a Pet that has stronger talent and combat ability. Both Little Mo Dragon and Mo Li Dragon are more powerful than Xiaoting Dragon. If you don’t believe it, you can let them battle.”

Little Mo Dragon and Mo Li Dragon looked at Xiaoting Dragon with full battle intent.

“Xiaoting!”

Xiaoting Dragon jumped down from its Yu Beast Master’s neck, yellow electric arcs appearing around its body, striking a “bring it on” pose.

“Xiao Xunbao…”

Xiao Xunbao was munching on sunflower seeds nearby.

Her Yu Beast Master is so popular…

“No need for a battle.” Qiao Sang looked at Dragon King and said, “Xiaoting Dragon has a competition tomorrow, so intense battles are not suitable tonight.”

She paused, then added, “Besides, whether Xiaoting Dragon wins or loses, I will not change my mind.”

“Xiaoting…”

The electric arcs on Xiaoting Dragon’s body disappeared.

Little Mo Dragon and Mo Li Dragon looked at each other.

Dragon King stared at Qiao Sang, its aura growing stronger.

Qiao Sang remained unmoving.

Mi Jiala watched this scene from the side, feeling inexplicably sad.

“Mog Mog.”

Finally, Dragon King let out a call expressionlessly and turned to leave.

Little Mo Dragon and Mo Li Dragon quickly followed.

Xiaoting Dragon completely relaxed.

Qiao Sang hesitated, “Teacher, Dragon King seems angry. Aren’t you going to comfort him?”

“It’s fine.” Mi Jiala looked in the direction Dragon King had left and said, “He just didn’t expect to be rejected. He’ll be fine when he comes to ask me for money later.”

Qiao Sang: “???”

Ask for money?

High in the sky.

Dragon King flew at a low altitude, its aura unconsciously spreading out.

The Flying-type Pet that passed by quickly distanced themselves, clearing the way.

Little Mo Dragon and Mo Li Dragon flapped their wings, trying hard to keep up from behind.

Dragon King suddenly realized something, reined in its aura, and slowed down.

Little Mo Dragon and Mo Li Dragon finally caught up.

“Mog Mog?”

Little Mo Dragon called out, indicating, “Are we just leaving like this?”

“Mog Mog.”

Dragon King snorted coldly.

Otherwise, that human doesn’t even think highly of our race.

As the leader of a Dragon-type Pet clan, it had its pride. It was impossible for it to let its juniors rush to contract after being rejected so many times by the other party.

It had even proposed a battle plan, but the other party actually said that even if Xiaoting Dragon lost, she wouldn’t change her mind. It was simply too hateful!

“Mog Mog…”

Mo Li Dragon called out with some reluctance.

But that human has a chance to participate in the Interstellar Cup.

“Mog Mog.”

Dragon King called out in a huff.

The Interstellar Cup isn’t that easy to participate in. Even if she really can participate in the Interstellar Cup in the future, what then? She might just be eliminated in the first round.

“Mog Mog.”

Mo Li Dragon was still reluctant.

But, that’s the human with the most potential to participate in the Interstellar Cup I’ve ever seen.

“Mog Mog?”

Little Mo Dragon seemed to have thought of something and called out, indicating, “Isn’t that human’s teacher your Yu Beast Master? Can’t your Yu Beast Master just make her choose one of us to contract?”

“Mog Mog.”

Dragon King called out.

You little ones don’t understand. She has her own teaching methods, and I can’t interfere too much.

“Mog Mog…”

Little Mo Dragon and Mo Li Dragon showed disappointed expressions.

“Mog Mog.”

Dragon King looked at their dejected appearance and called out comfortingly, indicating, “Don’t worry, with your talents, you will definitely find a Yu Beast Master who is talented, rich, and has a chance to participate in the Interstellar Cup.”

“Mog Mog!”

Little Mo Dragon was comforted and quickly cheered up.

“Mog Mog…”

Mo Li Dragon was still a bit dejected.

A Yu Beast Master with a chance to participate in the Interstellar Cup is not that easy to find.

Moreover, it has already reached the Intermediate Level and will soon evolve to High Level.

Once it becomes High Level, its competitiveness in the eyes of those genius Yu Beast Master will be much lower.

At that time, let alone contracting with a Yu Beast Master who has a chance to participate in the Interstellar Cup, it might even be difficult to contract with slightly more ordinary genius Yu Beast Master.

Dragon King glanced at it, recalled the previous human’s attitude, hardened its heart, said nothing, and flew forward.

“Mog Mog.”

Suddenly, Mo Li Dragon stopped and called out, indicating that it still wanted to try.

“Mog Mog.”

Dragon King looked at it with a “suit yourself” expression, then took Little Mo Dragon and flew forward.

At the same time.

Villa.

Outdoor training ground.

At this moment, Steel Treasure and the others had already begun their training.

“Teacher, I know you’re doing this for my own good, but please don’t do it again in the future,” Qiao Sang said in a low voice.

Mi Jiala: “???”

“What did I do?” Mi Jiala asked.

“It’s about Little Mo Dragon and Mo Li Dragon,” Qiao Sang said. “You’ve seen Xiaoting Dragon’s matches with me recently, and haven’t you admitted that Xiaoting Dragon’s talent is very good? Why do you still want me to contract with other Pet? Xiaoting Dragon almost ignored me just now.”

Mi Jiala glanced at her and said:

“I didn’t say anything to Dragon King. It was its own decision.”

Qiao Sang was stunned: “Why is it so good to me?”

She knew that Teacher Mi Jiala wouldn’t lie about such things.

“It knows you are a Di Class student and might have a chance to participate in the Interstellar Cup in the future, which is why it wants its juniors to contract with you,” Mi Jiala explained.

So that’s how it is… Qiao Sang suddenly understood, then thought of something, and her gaze towards Teacher Mi Jiala suddenly became strange.

If that’s the case, then Teacher Mi Jiala’s interaction with Dragon King just now was very interesting…

It felt like the teacher couldn’t control Dragon King…

Mi Jiala continued:

“Dragon King has an arrogant personality. Since it was rejected by you just now, it probably won’t come looking for you again in a short time.”

Qiao Sang heard this, reined in her previous thoughts, and hesitated:

“Does that mean it will still come looking for me in the future?”

“You probably haven’t realized how amazing your talent is…” Mi Jiala muttered inwardly, then smiled and said, “When it finds out your age and Yu Beast Master level, it will definitely come looking for you again. Not just Dragon King, any Pet on Yan Tian Star would find it very difficult to refuse a 17-year-old B-level Beast Tamer.”

So I’m actually a hot commodity on Yan Tian Star… Qiao Sang sighed inwardly, and a thought suddenly flashed through her mind:

If she awakens a new Contracted page on Yan Tian Star after contracting Xiaoting Dragon, then she won’t even need to go out and look for a talented Pet to contract…

Steel Treasure, who was training, silently glanced in the direction of its Yu Beast Master.

That’s a nice dream…

Qiao Sang: “…”

The next day, early morning.

Qiao Sang got up, Meditated for an hour, then simply washed up, ate breakfast, and then sat on Steel Treasure with Lu Bao and the others, setting off with Teacher Mi Jiala for Mu Lian Arena.

Now that Xiao Xunbao and Qing Bao had been going to Liusha Seat for several consecutive days, when Xiao Xunbao suggested that it could take Qing Bao by itself, she felt at ease letting them go alone.

Half an hour later.

Mu Lian Arena.

“Ladies and gentlemen! Welcome to the Contracted Tacit Understanding Competition!” The Host stood on the field, speaking loudly into the microphone: “Today, we will be holding the semifinals! Which pair will make it to the finals! Let’s wait and see!”

The Host was speaking passionately on the field, but many people in the audience were focused on a certain area, beginning to whisper:

“Holy cow, is that a uniquely colored Mo Li Dragon?”

“It clearly is! Oh my god, this is my first time seeing a uniquely colored Dragon-type Pet.”

“Look, look, it’s wearing a black wristband on its claw! It’s still a wild Pet! Do you think I’d have a chance if I went to contract it?”

“Don’t dream. Would a Dragon-type Pet even look at you? Let alone a uniquely colored Dragon-type Pet.”

Amidst the discussions, Mo Li Dragon sat quietly, looking towards the contestant area.

At the same time, Xiaoting Dragon seemed to sense a gaze and looked towards the audience.

At this moment, nearly half of the audience was looking towards a certain spot. Xiaoting Dragon followed their gazes and effortlessly saw Mo Li Dragon.

Its pupils constricted slightly, and yellow electric arcs unconsciously appeared around its body.

“Xiaoting Bao?” Qiao Sang called out in confusion.

“Xiaoting…”

Xiaoting Dragon quieted down, the electric arcs on its body disappeared, and it retracted its gaze, not mentioning Mo Li Dragon.

Almost instinctively, it didn’t want its Yu Beast Master to know of Mo Li Dragon’s existence.

Mi Jiala was sending messages from her seat:

[I saw Mo Li Dragon.]

[Are you not going to talk to me anymore?]

[I told you yesterday that Qiao Sang has already decided on Xiaoting Dragon.]

[Are you really not going to talk to me anymore?]

No matter how many messages she sent, “Debt-collecting Dragon” remained unresponsive.

Mi Jiala was silent for two seconds, then transferred a huge sum of money.

The next second, it showed as received.

Mi Jiala: “…”

After the Host finished introducing the guests and sponsors, he said:

“For this semifinal, we will no longer use the drawing lots method, but let the system decide for us!”

As soon as the words fell, a giant virtual screen appeared on the field, along with photos of the four pairs of contestants and their Pet.

Soon, the four sets of photos moved rapidly, crisscrossing.

After about half a minute, the photos settled into two pairs.

[Qiao Sang, Xiaoting Dragon VS Wang Ruchu, Poison Ball]

Poison Ball, another Intermediate Level Pet… Qiao Sang felt a bit tired.

One should know that due to the previous drawing lots method, after she successively defeated three contestants with Intermediate Level Pet, among the top four, Wang Ruchu was the only one remaining with an Intermediate Level Pet.

She didn’t expect to encounter even this one…

Qiao Sang was in the first group.

Under the Host’s introduction and the spotlight, she stood on the field with Xiaoting Dragon.

In the audience, low whispers began:

“This Qiao Sang is a bit too unlucky. Among the few battles with Intermediate Level Pet, she encountered all of them.”

“You can’t say that. Didn’t she win them all?”

“If she hadn’t met Wang Ruchu in this match today, she would have definitely made it to the finals, but with Wang Ruchu, it’s not certain.”

“Speaking of which, what level of Yu Beast Master is Qiao Sang? It feels like her command ability is not on the same level as other contestants.”

“Someone supposedly revealed last time that she’s D-level.”

D-level? Mo Li Dragon heard this and showed an expression of “how is that possible”.

Suddenly, it realized a problem.

The leader doesn’t seem to have mentioned this human’s age and Professional Beast Tamer level yet…

A glowing “3” suddenly appeared on the field.

Along with the mechanical sound, everyone stopped discussing and quieted down.

Poison Ball, a dual-attribute Intermediate Level Pet of the Poison-type and Grass-type, likes dark and damp places, and can spray poisonous spores. If not washed off in time, mushrooms will grow on the affected area… Qiao Sang looked at the mushroom-like Pet about 1.5 meters tall, mostly dark green with white round spots, and information related to it appeared in her mind.

“3, 2, 1, the match begins.”

The light disappeared.

Xiaoting Dragon immediately had yellow electric arcs appear around its body, converging into a bolt of lightning that struck towards Poison Ball.

Poison Ball moved its body lightly and easily dodged it.

The lightning struck nothing.

“Mushroom Spores!” Wang Ruchu gave the command.

Mushroom Spores, Poison Ball’s inherited skill, can scatter spores with a hypnotic effect, causing mushrooms to grow on the opponent while putting them into a hypnotic state.

Xiaoting Dragon couldn’t defend against this skill at all; it could only use the most basic method… Qiao Sang said:

“Hold your breath.”
