Beast Taming: Starting From Zero
Chapter 113: ultimate energy value
Why do you ask when you already know the answer?
How can you even ask that here?
Although everyone thought the same, it was their first day meeting, so some things were better left unsaid. The people around him didn’t respond.
Only Jiang Nai, who shared a dorm with him, said against his will, “Because you’re handsome.”
“Hmph.” Wang Jihang turned his head, grudgingly accepting that explanation.
His gaze unconsciously fell upon the Treasure Hunting Ghost, who had already floated back to Qiao Sang’s head, and an uncontrollable envy swelled in his heart.
This was a Treasure Hunting Ghost!
A Ghost-type Pet even harder to deal with than his King Bell! How did this guy manage it?!
“It’s Fire Fang Dog’s turn,” Qin Wen said, recovering with a smile.
She had taught many generations of students and encountered quite a few with talent.
However, there had truly only been one who was so comprehensive in terms of brain capacity, Pet nurturing, and combat awareness.
Given enough time, she would likely meet the School Team’s standards for sophomores very quickly.
This child was meant to be a Professional Beast Tamer.
The Fire Fang Dog stepped forward and put on the helmet.
Everyone’s attention was once again focused on it.
This made the Fire Fang Dog instinctively puff out its chest and maintain a poker face.
“Qiao Dalao, your Fire Fang Dog looks much handsomer than when I last saw it,” Zheng Yining exclaimed.
“It’s grown,” Qiao Sang said with a smile.
The first time she saw Ya Bao, it looked like a pitiful little thing, much shorter than other Fire Fang Dogs. She had even imagined a whole bullying drama.
She hadn’t expected such a big change in just about two months; it no longer looked like the pitiful little thing it once was.
The green light on the test helmet blinked twice before settling.
“One… ”
Qin Wen stared at the numbers on the testing device’s screen, frozen in place, speechless.
Ones, tens, hundreds, thousands…
Holy cow, why is there another digit after that?!
She stared intently at the numbers displayed on the screen, counting them one by one.
It was clearly a simple five-digit number, obvious at a glance, yet she looked at it again and again in disbelief.
Ones, tens, hundreds, thousands… ten thousands!
Ten thousands?!
How could it have broken ten thousand?!
It was common knowledge, textbook content, that a Beginner Pet’s energy Point ranged from 1 to 10,000.
But the number now appearing completely overturned her usual understanding.
When a Beginner Pet’s energy Point reaches above 8,000, they can begin preparing for evolution, with 10,000 energy Point being their limit.
Most Yu Beast Masters with resources and background would wait until the extreme value of 10,000 before preparing to evolve their Pet.
Pets evolved this way would have a much higher future growth potential than other Pets of the same rank.
Logically speaking, even if the Fire Fang Dog’s talent was exceptionally high and its internal energy reached the limit for a Beginner Pet, it should still be 10,000.
How could it be 13,966?!
Moreover, there was no evolution, nor any signs of impending evolution…
It just doesn’t make sense…
“Qin Wen?” Luo Qian, seeing Qin Wen silent for a long time, couldn’t help but prompt her.
Qin Wen recovered, took a deep breath, and said, “Qiao Sang, Fire Fang Dog, 13,966.”
This was an era where the strong got stronger and the weak got weaker.
The world was vast, and every day, things that couldn’t be explained by common sense might occur. There were too many Yu Beast Masters, and extraordinary geniuses appeared every year.
If one hid their strength and didn’t receive sufficient attention and corresponding cultivation, it was easy to become just another face in the crowd.
Hanggang was just a prefecture-level city. With Qiao Sang and Fire Fang Dog’s talent, they could fully venture into the wider world.
“What?” Luo Qian was stunned, thinking he had misheard.
He turned to look at the numbers on the testing device’s screen.
Then he was dumbfounded.
“Next one.” Qin Wen tried to calm herself down.
Everyone participating in the training camp were children who had just become Yu Beast Masters. They hadn’t started learning about the range of energy Point at different stages, so they weren’t particularly clear, but this didn’t prevent their shock.
“Holy cow, my Shen Mao Turtle hasn’t even reached a fraction of that.”
“My Electric Bat hasn’t either…”
“Except for Lu You, none of us have reached a fraction, right?”
“This Fire Fang Dog’s strength won’t be stronger than Little Horned Dragon, will it?”
“Lu You, what do you think?”
Lu You said expressionlessly, “Don’t talk to me yet.”
“Ya.”
The Fire Fang Dog immediately jumped into its Yu Beast Master’s arms.
After finding a comfortable position, it maintained its poker face.
Although it didn’t understand why everyone kept staring at it, this didn’t stop it from enjoying the attention.
The Fire Fang Dog’s head tilted slightly upward.
Sure enough, even without sunglasses, it was still the most handsome.
Qiao Sang also didn’t understand the range of Beginner Pet energy Point, but with the comparison, she knew that Fire Fang Dog had far surpassed other Pets of the same rank.
She was overjoyed.
Not bad, not bad. The entire month-long holiday spent on training was not in vain.
“Jin Feifan, 1955.” After reporting the number, Qin Wen said to the still dazed Luo Qian, “I’ll leave the rest to you. I need to go out and make a call.”
After speaking, she turned, gave Qiao Sang a deep look, and quickly walked out of the training ground.
A dozen seconds later, Luo Qian recovered and looked around, asking in surprise, “Where did Teacher Qin go?”
Qiao Sang: “…”
This teacher seems so unreliable…
“Teacher Qin went out to make a call,” someone replied.
Luo Qian nodded, looked at the data in his hand, and asked, “What was the number Jin Feifan just tested?”
Qiao Sang: “…”
“1955,” Jin Feifan said softly.
Luo Qian bowed his head to record, then looked at the group of vibrant young students before him, saying, “Since Teacher Qin isn’t here, let’s first test your coordination abilities.”
“Everyone should know that the Coordination Competition emphasizes glamour. The Pet must be beautiful, the Pet’s ultimate moves must be beautifully combined, and you, the person, must also be beautiful.”
“In short, it’s about stimulating the audience’s visual nerves, igniting a higher sensory awareness in the audience. This sensation should be beautiful and stunning, not ugly or terrifying.”
“I believe everyone has seen Coordination Competitions on TV, so I won’t say too much for now. Those of you who are special recruits for coordination, please step forward.”
Including Jin Feifan, three students stepped forward.
“You’ve participated in the exam and have experience. You’ve all practiced combining ultimate moves, so demonstrate for the others first,” Luo Qian said.
The three looked at each other.
The girl in the middle, with long black hair and delicate features, said, “I’ll go first.”
Everyone consciously stepped back a few paces to clear a space for her.
“Meimei, amaze them,” the long-haired girl said to the Lili Duck beside her.
Qiao Sang watched from the side with some anticipation.
Coordination Competition is largely about performance. Even the final stage, the glamorous battle, primarily focuses on how to respond to the opponent’s ultimate moves in a more spectacular way.
Pet Coordinators might not be as good as Professional Beast Tamers in combat, but they are definitely superior in their control over energy.
Professional Beast Tamers focus on the power of ultimate moves, wishing that the ultimate moves released by their Pet were as powerful as possible.
Pet Coordinators, on the other hand, focus on how to make the Spark generated by the collision of ultimate moves more dazzling to others, which requires controlling the energy output—neither too much nor too little will do.
One emphasizes releasing, the other emphasizes holding back.
