Beast Taming: Starting From Zero

Chapter 1100: Qingbao VS Meichouni (two in one)

“Mog Mog.”

Mo Li Dragon reacted, looking at Xiaoting Dragon.

Honestly, looking at Xiaoting Dragon’s size, it felt like it was bullying a junior.

“Mog Mog.” Dragon King called out majestically, then extended its claw and pushed it forward.

Mo Li Dragon understood Dragon King’s meaning. It looked at the human it wanted to form a contract with, and the dying flame in its heart showed signs of reigniting.

Since its leader had gone to such lengths for their race, perhaps it could try again.

“Mog Mog.”

Thinking of this, Mo Li Dragon pointed to an open space not far away, indicating to train there.

After speaking, it led the way in that direction.

Xiaoting Dragon moved its body and followed.

“Bang!”

In the high sky, two beams of light, one red and one dark red, rushed towards each other, making a violent sound, then separated, and then collided again.

Their speed was extreme, red and dark red lines darting everywhere, crashing wildly, each collision a thunderous explosion.

Elsewhere in the high sky, countless purple blades attacked the dark red figure.

Just as they were about to hit, a translucent Barrier suddenly appeared around the dark red figure.

Almost instantly, cracks appeared in the Barrier, followed by its complete shattering.

Fortunately, the dark red figure reacted quickly, transforming into a white beam of light and rapidly pulling away.

At the same time, on the ground.

More than half of the field exuded a bone-chilling cold.

A massive figure within it maintained a stunned expression, turning into an ice sculpture.

Dragon King saw this scene and showed an expression of not wanting to look.

It had thought that bringing a few guys from the clan over would allow them to show off their strength under the guise of training, but now it felt like none of them had the upper hand, and one was even completely at a disadvantage.

However, Mo Da Dragon, who was fighting that pitifully small Ghost-type Pet, should be completely at an advantage…

Just as it was thinking, a black hole appeared out of thin air in mid-air.

Mo Da Dragon, who was on alert, twitched its ears, and its tail instantly condensed a silvery-white light. It turned and swung it downwards with great force, directly hitting Xiao Xunbao, who had just poked out half its head, head-on.

“Xiao Xunbao!”

“Mog Mog!”

With a “bang,” Xiao Xunbao and Mo Da Dragon both screamed, then their eyes glazed over, and they simultaneously fell downwards.

A gentle breeze blew, carrying Xiao Xunbao and gently placing it on the ground.

This… Dragon King’s eyes widened, momentarily unable to comprehend why this had happened.

At the King-level Pet stage, one becomes extremely sensitive to surrounding movements. Even slight unusual movements will be noticed. It seems Xiao Xunbao will need to practice specifically in this area if it wants to use Shadow Penetration to approach opponents in the future, ideally learning Breath Concealment… Qiao Sang thought to herself as she spoke:

“Lu Bao, help Xiao Xunbao and Mo Da Dragon with Healing.”

“Ice Emperor.” Lu Bao called out, walking towards Xiao Xunbao and Mo Da Dragon. The gem on its forehead emitted a faint blue light, shining upon them.

Soon, Xiao Xunbao and Mo Da Dragon were fully recovered.

“Xiao Xunbao!”

Xiao Xunbao remembered the previous battle result, revealing an unconvinced expression. It called out, indicating that they should go again.

It no longer had any fear. At worst, it would get hit, resulting in a draw.

Mo Da Dragon looked at the little one in front of it, which was not even as big as its claw, with an uncertain expression.

Lu Bao returned to its training position, unfreezing the frozen Mo Da Dragon, and resumed training.

What powerful Healing methods, to recover completely so quickly… Dragon King showed a stunned expression.

At this moment, Qiao Sang said:

“Dragon King, you can just wander around. I’m going to take Qingbao to train first.”

As soon as she finished speaking, a gentle breeze swept by, and Qingbao appeared.

“Mog Mog.”

Dragon King snapped out of it, looked at the human in front of it with a complex expression, and nodded.

Then it remembered something and turned to walk towards Mi Jiala’s location.

Qiao Sang took Qingbao aside and began to review today’s match:

“The reason today’s match went so smoothly was mainly because the opponent wasn’t focused at the beginning, so they were easily hit by Charm. The next matches will definitely not be this easy, but we can use Wind Transformation from the start, which will greatly increase the success rate of Charm…”

Qiao Sang seriously explained some plans for tomorrow’s match.

Having Qingbao participate in the match, winning or losing was secondary. The important thing was for Qingbao to make progress during the match.

Now that Ya Bao and the others had evolved into King-level Pets, it was too difficult for them to make further progress in the short term.

But Qingbao could.

It was still only a High-level Pet, and the Point needed for evolution were not many, so it could accumulate them quickly through battles.

Moreover, matches also meant intensified training, and the proficiency of various skills would rapidly increase. As long as one of Qingbao’s skills reached the Profound Level again, she could prepare for its evolution.

“Qingqing.”

Qingbao listened attentively, nodding occasionally.

“You had such a difficult time winning against the Fierce Scorpion yesterday because you couldn’t tolerate its poisonous gas.” Qiao Sang continued: “If you encounter Poison-type Pets like that in future matches, you can cast Mist Field from the start. You rarely use this skill, so you might not understand it well, but one of its functions is to make you immune to abnormal statuses for a certain period of time.”

“If you are within the range of the Mist Field, you can avoid falling into a poisoned state.”

“Qingqing!”

Qingbao showed an expression of “it can be used like that.”

It seems that the memory inheritance didn’t allow Qingbao to fully understand every skill’s situation… Could the inheritance be all about love-hate relationships, which is why Qingbao’s personality changed so much… Qiao Sang inwardly complained, but outwardly continued:

“This Mist Field can also protect against abnormal statuses like burns, freezing, paralysis, sleep, and confusion. In short, it works for many Pets. Although this is not an offensive skill, its effect alone shows how important it is. You can focus on practicing this skill next.”

“No matter what kind of training, you can cast Mist Field beforehand and work hard to increase its proficiency to extend its duration.”

“Qingqing!”

Qingbao realized the importance of this skill and nodded seriously.

“Go.” Qiao Sang said.

“Qingqing.”

Qingbao called out, transformed into Wind Transformation, and drifted to an empty space nearby to begin training Mist Field.

Qiao Sang looked in the direction where Xiaoting Dragon was training.

She saw Mo Li Dragon spewing silvery-white dragon breath.

Xiaoting Dragon was too slow to dodge and was hit head-on, flying backward.

However, Mo Li Dragon clearly controlled its strength. Xiaoting Dragon quickly stood up, yellow electric arcs appearing on its body, and struck at Mo Li Dragon.

Mo Li Dragon easily dodged it.

By this time, they had been training for a while. Mo Li Dragon was unharmed, while Xiaoting Dragon was covered in injuries.

“If you’re running low on energy, drink some energy recovery fluid first, then continue training!” Qiao Sang shouted, raising her voice.

Xiaoting Dragon ignored her. It stared intently at Mo Li Dragon, electric arcs appearing on its body, and continued to attack it.

It seems that as long as Xiaoting Dragon has an opponent in mind, it trains very actively… Qiao Sang sighed inwardly.

After looking at the direction of Ya Bao’s battles, she turned and returned to her room, sat on the edge of the bed, took out her phone, found the contact information of the Expert who studies legendary Pets, and sent a message:

“I wonder if the Fairy’s Tear can be sent to me. I’m currently on Yan Tian Star and don’t know when I’ll return. I plan to let Qingbao evolve here.”

Fairy’s Tear, the next stage evolution item for Qingyin Fairy.

Interstellar express delivery from Blue Star to Yan Tian Star would take at least a month and a half. Finding a Fairy’s Tear of the appropriate level would also take some time. Adding these times together, by the time the Fairy’s Tear arrived, Qingbao should be almost ready to evolve.

After about a minute, a voice message replied from the other end.

Qiao Sang tapped the earpiece to play:

“Of course, I’ve always been keeping an eye on Qingyin Fairy’s evolution items. I found an S-level one, but I know the country actually has an SS-level Fairy’s Tear. If Qingyin Fairy isn’t in a hurry to evolve, I’d like to apply for the SS-level Fairy’s Tear. You know, the effects of these two levels of items differ greatly.”

SS-level Fairy’s Tear! Qiao Sang’s heart warmed, and she immediately replied:

“No rush! I’ll wait for your application!”

“Expert Lin: (smile)”

Qiao Sang was in a great mood. She put down her phone, sat cross-legged on the bed, and began Meditation.

Currently, her short-term plan had two goals.

One was to evolve Qingbao.

The second was for her brain domain to reach 60% and contract Xiaoting Dragon.

The next day, early morning.

Quanman Stadium.

Everyone looked at the direction of the contestant area with uncertainty.

“Holy cow, isn’t that the King-level Pet Moda Flying Dragon?”

“You’re not mistaken…”

“It seems Moda Flying Dragon is here to support Mo Ao Dragon…”

“It feels like many contestants in this year’s Strongest Advanced Pet Contest are not simple. There’s a B-level Beast Tamer, and now a Mo Ao Dragon backed by a King-level Pet.”

“Actually, it’s not surprising that Moda Flying Dragon came. I heard that this race has a strong sense of racial honor. Moda Flying Dragon probably knew that a B-level Beast Tamer had arrived and that it would be difficult for Mo Ao Dragon to win the match, so it came to cheer it on.”

“…Really? Why do I feel like Moda Flying Dragon and Qiao Sang seem very familiar?”

Contestant Area.

“Mog Mog.”

Dragon King handed the freshly bought popcorn to Qiao Sang.

“I just finished breakfast, my stomach is still full.” Qiao Sang politely declined.

Dragon King looked at Mi Jiala.

How thoughtful of you to remember me… Mi Jiala’s eyes showed a smile as she extended her hand.

Just then, Dragon King turned and handed the popcorn to Mo Li Dragon, calling out:

“Mog Mog.”

“Then you can have it.”

“Mog Mog.” Mo Li Dragon’s eyes curved, and it extended its claw to take it.

Mi Jiala expressionlessly lowered her hand.

On the stage, the Host finished introducing a series of procedures. Soon, dozens of photos appeared on the giant virtual screen.

“Which two contestants will team up, and who will be the first to enter the top 16! Let the system group us!” The Host shouted loudly.

As she spoke, dozens of photos began to interlace rapidly.

After about ten seconds, the photos settled into pairs.

Qiao Sang glanced and saw her team-up situation:

“Qiao Sang VS Meimei”

It’s Meimei… Qiao Sang was a little surprised and subconsciously looked in Meimei’s direction based on the smell.

She saw that it wasn’t paying attention to her, but rather looking at the large screen, somewhat lost in thought.

Meimei probably didn’t expect to face me in this competition… Qiao Sang thought to herself.

“Qingqing…”

Qingbao saw its opponent, and its expression became serious.

The competition proceeded in an orderly fashion, and Qiao Sang’s match was still scheduled for the morning.

An hour later, the recently finished group of contestants left the stage, and photos of Qiao Sang and Meimei appeared on the giant virtual screen.

Qiao Sang glanced at Xiao Xunbao.

“Xiao Xunbao~”

Before her Yu Beast Master could speak, Xiao Xunbao understood what she meant, and its eyes glowed blue.

The next second, Qiao Sang appeared on the stage.

The whole audience cheered.

“Contestant Qiao Sang has entered the stage!” The Host passionately announced: “As the only B-level Beast Tamer in this year’s Strongest Advanced Pet Contest, she is undoubtedly the strongest contender for the championship. Under her command, Qingyin Fairy’s strength has clearly changed. I wonder if Contestant Meimei will feel immense pressure facing such an opponent.”

Everyone began to discuss:

“There must be pressure, right?”

“If Qiao Sang wasn’t on the field to command, the outcome of the match would be hard to say, but with Qiao Sang on the field, there’s no need to even think about the result.”

“Not necessarily. Isn’t Qingyin Fairy’s most troublesome aspect its Wind Transformation characteristic? Meimei has various powder skills. If it spreads any of them, Qingyin Fairy probably won’t be able to maintain Wind Transformation. If you ask me, some of Meimei’s skills are quite effective against Qingyin Fairy.”

“Meimei counters Qingyin Fairy, but Qingyin Fairy’s Yu Beast Master is a B-level big shot. Would a B-level big shot be afraid of being countered?”

Amidst the discussions, Meimei stood on the steps of the contestant area, used Vine Whip to touch the ground of the field, and then, using it as a leverage Point, performed a backflip in mid-air to land on the field.

Another round of cheers erupted throughout the venue.

Meimei came to its half of the field and stood still.

Qiao Sang nodded slightly to it, as a greeting.

Meimei looked at the ground, averting its gaze.

Qiao Sang: “???”

A Pet wearing a referee’s badge appeared out of thin air on the field and waved a green flag in Qiao Sang’s direction.

Qiao Sang collected her thoughts and formed hand seals.

A dazzling crimson star array immediately lit up on the field.

This time, everyone was much calmer.

Meimei looked at the crimson star array with a serious expression.

Qingbao appeared in the star array with a serious expression.

“Qu!”

The Pet wearing a referee’s badge around its neck held a metal whistle and blew it.

Immediately after, it disappeared.

Qingbao, at the first moment, transformed into Wind Transformation and disappeared.

“Meimei!”

Meimei called out, and a stream of green gas erupted from between the two leaves on its head.

Almost the next second, a strong stench rapidly spread across the field.

Qingbao tightly covered its nose and mouth, appearing about five meters in front of Meimei. It winked one eye, throwing a Charm.

Pink heart-shaped energy appeared out of thin air, quickly hitting Meimei.

Meimei showed no reaction.

It seems it’s female… Qiao Sang thought to herself.
