Beast Taming: Starting From Zero

Chapter 1165: Electrocute You (2 in 1)

Xiaoting Dragon’s eyes lit up instantly, full of anticipation for the Ten Thousand Volts that would follow.

Qiao Sang was startled and quickly hugged Xiaoting Dragon, flashing to the side, and shouted, “Wait!”

“Electric, electric?”

The lightning power on Electric Bomb Weird dissipated, revealing a confused expression, and it let out a cry.

Xiaoting Dragon also looked over with a confused expression.

“Xiao Xunbao~”

Before Qiao Sang could answer, Xiao Xunbao let out a meaningful cry from the side.

Her Yu Beast Master said it would evolve in the next two days, so it definitely wasn’t time for lightning strikes yet.

Xiao Xunbao is smarter… Qiao Sang sighed inwardly and said,

“That’s right, I invited you here to use Ten Thousand Volts to strike it, but not now.”

“Xiaoting, Xiaoting…”

Xiaoting Dragon showed a disappointed expression.

She almost forgot about this.

Then she thought of something, jumped out of her Yu Beast Master’s arms, and moved her body to crawl towards the dining table where the tree fruits were placed.

“Electric, electric.”

Electric Bomb Weird’s expression turned displeased, and it let out a cry.

Since its Ten Thousand Volts wasn’t needed right now, why did she ask it to come quickly?

“Xiao Xunbao~”

Xiao Xunbao helped translate.

It seems you were the one who told it to come quickly… Qiao Sang glanced at Xiao Xunbao.

Xiao Xunbao’s eyes darted around, and her head turned to the side, not letting her gaze meet her Yu Beast Master’s.

Qiao Sang looked at Electric Bomb Weird and explained:

“Because we will indeed need Ten Thousand Volts very soon, having you come quickly is to prepare in advance.”

She could immediately fill up the Point to let Xiaoting Dragon evolve, but not long ago she had just said that Xiaoting Dragon’s evolution would take another day or two. Now, letting Xiaoting Dragon evolve without any preparation would be an imperfect evolution in Teacher Mi Jiala’s eyes. When Teacher Ya Ke Lin came to check Xiaoting Dragon’s condition, it might be exposed.

After all, there would still be some differences in the physical condition of perfectly evolved Pets and imperfectly evolved Pets.

“Xiao Xunbao~”

Xiao Xunbao’s head turned back again, nodding repeatedly.

That’s right, that’s right.

Electric Bomb Weird’s expression was still displeased.

Just as it was about to say something, Mi Jiala and Dragon King walked in from the direction of the outdoor training ground.

With its imposing appearance and king-like aura, as a Pet born and raised on Yan Tian Star with some knowledge, Electric Bomb Weird immediately recognized the Moda Flying Dragon as an Emperor-level Pet. Its body stiffened, and its expression immediately changed from displeasure to “So that’s how it is,” and it cried out:

“Electric, electric.”

“Xiao Xunbao~”

Xiao Xunbao helped translate.

It said to let it know anytime Ten Thousand Volts is needed.

She originally thought this Electric Bomb Weird had a bad temper, but now it seemed quite easy to talk to… Qiao Sang smiled and said:

“Okay, you can rest here with us for a while, and we’ll eat lunch and dinner together. I’ll call you when Ten Thousand Volts is needed.”

Still need to stay until evening… Electric Bomb Weird almost couldn’t control its facial expression, but feeling the approaching Moda Flying Dragon, it smiled and nodded:

“Electric, electric.”

Dragon King glanced at Electric Bomb Weird, came to the sofa, turned on the TV, and started watching the competition channel.

Electric Bomb Weird silently let out a sigh of relief.

……

An hour later.

“Ding-dong~”

The doorbell rang from the entrance.

You Zhen Meow passed through the living room immediately, came to the entrance, and opened the door.

“Youyou?”

You Zhen Meow let out a cry.

“Hello, I’m looking for Qiao Sang, is she home?” Ya Ke Lin asked, standing at the door.

You Zhen Meow stepped aside, made a “please” gesture, and then shouted into the house:

“Youyou!”

Ya Ke Lin walked into the living room and saw Dragon King sitting on the sofa watching TV. In the corner nearby, there was also a very nervous Electric Bomb Weird, and she also saw Xiaoting Dragon at the dining table, burping and eating tree fruits, its belly already round and bulging.

You Zhen Meow led her to sit on the living room sofa.

Dragon King glanced at her, then indifferently moved its gaze away and continued watching the competition channel.

Not long after, Qiao Sang walked over with Qingyun Na Nai from the direction of the outdoor training ground, smiling:

“Teacher, you’ve arrived.”

Ya Ke Lin smiled and said:

“The Barrier Night Hawk I was riding suddenly had a stomach ache, otherwise I would have arrived even earlier.”

After speaking, she looked at the greatly changed Qingyun Na Nai and sighed, “I didn’t expect Qingyin Fairy to evolve into Qingyun Na Nai after such a short time.”

“At that time, the energy within Qingyun Na Nai was already close to the evolution stage; it just lacked the evolution item.” Qiao Sang explained:

“Its evolution item was sent from Blue Star yesterday, so it completed its evolution.”

As she spoke, she looked around and asked, “Why didn’t Fu Lu come?”

“The shop needs staff, so it didn’t come along.” Ya Ke Lin also looked around and asked, “Where is Senior Mi Jiala?”

“She went out, I don’t know when she’ll be back.” Qiao Sang replied, “It seems she has something very important to do.”

After returning from Wanbing Island, Teacher Mi Jiala often went out, just like before they set off for Wanbing Island. She still remembered that the teacher had said before that she had important matters to attend to.

Dragon King listened to the conversation, picked its nose, and thought to itself, what important matters could there be, isn’t she just sleeping in Hua Zhi Gu (Flower Valley) all day.

However, sometimes her Yu Beast Master’s face was her own face, so it ultimately didn’t speak of this matter.

“Then I won’t disturb Senior Mi Jiala.” Ya Ke Lin didn’t doubt it and said, “Let’s just check directly.”

“Qing, qing.”

Qingyun Na Nai stepped forward and let out a cry.

It had been waiting for a long time.

Ya Ke Lin took out the equipment she carried with her and quickly conducted the inspection.

Time slowly passed.

When checking the energy value, Ya Ke Lin looked at Qingyun Na Nai in astonishment and said in surprise:

“Didn’t it just evolve? How did its energy value directly reach the General-level mid-stage?”

It actually reached the mid-stage, catching up with Xiao Xunbao is just around the corner… Qingyun Na Nai secretly rejoiced, and on the surface, blinked her eyes, pretending not to understand.

“Qingyun Na Nai used an SS-grade Fairy’s Tear.” Qiao Sang explained.

“SS-grade Fairy’s Tear…” Ya Ke Lin looked stunned, pondered for a moment, and analyzed, “This level of item will indeed greatly increase a Pet’s energy when it enters the next stage, but a part of the reason should also be that Qingyun Na Nai laid a good foundation. I’ve seen some Pets that, even after consuming SS-grade items, didn’t immediately evolve to the mid-stage of the next level.”

Ordinary Trainers might never see SS-grade materials in their lifetime, but as a Trainer at Imperial Beast Academy, Ya Ke Lin had seen a few cases of Pets consuming SS-grade materials.

Qiao Sang thought to herself, so that’s how it is.

Speaking of which, Qingyun Na Nai was the only one among Xiaoya and the others who had used SSS-grade materials, so her foundation was indeed exceptionally solid.

Ya Ke Lin continued the inspection.

After about five minutes, she said:

“Qingyun Na Nai has a little more Electric-type energy in its body, it should have awakened an Electric-type skill.”

“Teacher, you’re amazing.” Qiao Sang said, “Qingyun Na Nai just awakened Thunderstorm, I just found out too.”

“What did you say it awakened?” Ya Ke Lin was momentarily confused.

This expression is right, like Teacher Mi Jiala, who now has no great reaction to Qingyun Na Nai and the others awakening Ultra-level skills, no sense of accomplishment at all… Qiao Sang repeated:

“Thunderstorm.”

Qingyun Na Nai actually awakened an Ultra-level skill! Ya Ke Lin turned her head to look at Qingyun Na Nai in shock.

After a few seconds of daze, she took a deep breath and asked, “How do you know it awakened Thunderstorm? Could it be…”

“That’s right, it has already successfully cast it.” Qiao Sang said.

Qingyun Na Nai restrained the upward curve of her lips, pretending to be well-behaved, and continued to wait for the inspection.

Not only did it awaken an Ultra-level skill, but it also successfully cast it… If she remembered correctly, Qingyun Na Nai only evolved yesterday… Ya Ke Lin was stunned again.

She pondered for a long time, then sighed, and said:

“It truly lives up to its reputation as a legendary Pet. This is my first time seeing a Pet that can successfully cast an Ultra-level skill right after awakening it.”

“Xiao Xunbao~”

Xiao Xunbao appeared beside her with a teleport, puffed out her chest, and let out a cry.

And her, and her.

Show-off… Qingyun Na Nai glanced at Xiao Xunbao.

Qiao Sang did not help translate, but instead said, “Qingyun Na Nai has more Electric-type energy, so when preparing Energy Pill next, does it need to supplement some Electric-type energy?”

“If you want to greatly develop Qingyun Na Nai’s Thunderstorm later, appropriately supplementing Electric-type energy will indeed enhance the power of this move.” Ya Ke Lin said.

“Then supplement it.” Qiao Sang said without thinking.

Ultra-level skills are incredibly powerful, most Pets might never awaken one in their lifetime, and Thunderstorm is also a dual-attribute Ultra-level skill, incredibly strong. This move will definitely be used as Qingyun Na Nai’s trump card, so of course, it needs to be strengthened as much as possible.

“Then I will adjust the formula for the Energy Pill appropriately.” Ya Ke Lin said, “Although supplementing Electric-type energy will strengthen Thunderstorm, besides the Energy Pill I formulate, you’d best not let Qingyun Na Nai consume other foods and materials containing Electric-type energy.”

“Why?” Qiao Sang asked.

“All Pets have their main attribute.” Ya Ke Lin explained scientifically, “They also have attributes they are suited for and excel at. Once a sub-attribute or other attributes in the body take over, and too much energy is stored, it is not conducive to future evolution. Sometimes, when there are many sub-attributes, some Pets’ evolution paths will have branches.”

“But these branches often cannot reach the upper limit of the original evolution path.”

“Qingyun Na Nai’s evolution path goes directly to the God-level, and its main and sub-attributes are undoubtedly Fairy-type and Flying-type. In this situation, other attributes can be appropriately supplemented, but not too much, otherwise it may affect future evolution.”

After listening, Qiao Sang inexplicably thought of the other evolution path that appeared in the yu beast codex when Xiaoya evolved into Flame Qilu — Moon Disaster Hound.

Hearing that species name, it’s likely that the main attribute isn’t Fire-type, and Xiaoya is clearly most suited for Fire-type.

Thinking about it now, it’s a good thing Xiaoya evolved into Flame Qilu, otherwise whether there would be a subsequent evolution path would be another question.

“I will absolutely not let Qingyun Na Nai supplement Electric-type energy other than the Energy Pill.” Qiao Sang promised.

Qingyun Na Nai did not speak, looking completely trusting.

After another ten minutes or so, the physical examination was complete. Ya Ke Lin packed up her equipment and said:

“I know all about Qingyun Na Nai’s physical condition. It evolved perfectly. The production of the Energy Pill will take me about a week. I’ll send it directly once I’m done.”

“I’ll be leaving now. Just tell Senior Mi Jiala that I stopped by.”

Saying that, she picked up her equipment and prepared to leave.

“Wait.” Qiao Sang stopped her, “Teacher, please don’t leave yet.”

At this time, the sun was high in the sky, and it would soon be lunchtime. Ya Ke Lin smiled and said:

“I won’t stay for a meal, Fu Lu is still waiting for me at home.”

…Qiao Sang’s expression was slightly awkward, and she said, “No, I mean Xiaoting Dragon might also evolve today, so I was hoping you could stay and check it at the same time.”

So she wasn’t asking me to stay for a meal… Ya Ke Lin’s expression paused slightly, then returned to normal, and she said, “Then I definitely have to stay.”

After speaking, she looked at Xiaoting Dragon, whose belly was already round as a ball by the dining table, and Electric Bomb Weird, who was sitting in the corner, looking bewildered, not knowing what it was thinking. Then she realized something and said with sudden understanding:

“No wonder there’s an Electric Bomb Weird here. You’re planning to have it help Xiaoting Dragon evolve, aren’t you?”

Qiao Sang nodded and said:

“That’s right.”

Ya Ke Lin put down the equipment she had just picked up and said:

“I’ll check Xiaoting Dragon first.”

“Xiaoting Dragon, come here.” Qiao Sang called out.

“Xiaoting, Xiaoting…”

Xiaoting Dragon burped, moved its body, and crawled over with slight difficulty.

Qingyun Na Nai looked at Xiaoting Dragon’s appearance, remembered her Yu Beast Master was still nearby, and resisted the urge to laugh out loud.

“Xiao Xunbao…”

Xiao Xunbao looked at Xiaoting Dragon’s belly, showed a worried expression, and let out a cry, indicating, are you eating too much?

“Xiaoting, Xiaoting…”

Xiaoting Dragon crawled with difficulty while showing a resolute expression, indicating that everything was for the sake of evolving as quickly as possible.

Sixth… Xiao Xunbao heard this, and seeing Xiaoting Dragon struggling to crawl, was inexplicably moved by its efforts.

Isn’t it just eating some tree fruits? Is it really that serious… Qingyun Na Nai saw Xiao Xunbao’s moved expression, and due to her Yu Beast Master being nearby, resisted the urge to complain.

“Xiaoting, Xiaoting…”

Xiaoting Dragon came and stood beside Ya Ke Lin.

Ya Ke Lin picked up the equipment, checked Xiaoting Dragon, and then put it down, saying seriously:

“Xiaoting Dragon’s energy value has reached the Beginner upper limit. It can now begin preparing for evolution.”

“Xiaoting, Xiaoting!”

Xiaoting Dragon heard this and showed a surprised expression.

It actually ate so many tree fruits… Qiao Sang’s mouth twitched slightly.

With the Gold Finger, Xiaoting Dragon could instantly add the values behind its level when it ate Dragon-type related tree fruits.

Theoretically speaking, as long as Xiaoting Dragon could eat, the values behind its level could keep increasing.

She had originally planned to wait until evening to fill up the Point, but now it seemed she wouldn’t need to wait until evening… Qiao Sang said:

“Then let’s prepare for evolution now.”

After speaking, she looked at Electric Bomb Weird, and to avoid the previous incident of lightning striking directly in the living room, she said:

“Let’s go to the outdoor training ground first.”

Although the detected energy value had reached the Beginner upper limit, the level value in Xiaoting Dragon’s yu beast codex certainly hadn’t been filled yet. Otherwise, if it were filled, even without Ten Thousand Volts, the light of evolution would directly appear. She still needed to find an opportunity to wait and fill the value.

“Xiaoting, Xiaoting!”

Xiaoting Dragon let out an excited cry.

Qiao Sang picked up Xiaoting Dragon and walked towards the outdoor training ground.

Halfway there, she noticed Electric Bomb Weird hadn’t followed, and couldn’t help but call out, “Diàn Sǐ Nǐ!”

“Electric, electric…”

Electric Bomb Weird then came to its senses and quickly followed.

As it passed Qingyun Na Nai, it couldn’t help but turn its head to glance.

What kind of species is this, with SS-grade materials, and Ultra-level skills, and even God-level, it’s too terrifying…

Qingyun Na Nai noticed the gaze and turned her head to look over.

Electric Bomb Weird quickly dodged the gaze, sped up, and walked towards the outdoor training ground.

No matter what species it is, this place is too terrifying. It’s better to complete the task early and go back early…

……

Outdoor training ground.

Qiao Sang placed Xiaoting Dragon on the ground, looked at Electric Bomb Weird, and said:

“Start.”

“Electric, electric.”

Electric Bomb Weird nodded, and then dazzling lightning power shone from its body.

At the same time, Qiao Sang’s consciousness entered the yu beast codex, quickly turned to Xiaoting Dragon’s page, and saw the remaining few Point behind its level filled up, and Discharge upgraded to Profound Meaning.

“Boom!”

A thick bolt of lightning struck Xiaoting Dragon’s body.

Qiao Sang’s consciousness returned to reality, and what she saw was this scene before her.

Then she thought of something and said, “If the light of evolution doesn’t appear, just keep striking.”

“Electric, electric.”

Electric Bomb Weird maintained the lightning power and nodded.

Ya Ke Lin knew that Xiaoting Dragon had an S-grade Lightning Rod, understood Qiao Sang’s intention, and said nothing.

“Boom, boom, boom!”

The lightning power continuously struck Xiaoting Dragon’s body.

“Xiaoting, Xiaoting…”

Xiaoting Dragon’s expression gradually changed from serious to painful.

Even with an S-grade Lightning Rod, when there was a significant difference in levels, it would still exceed the tolerance range and suffer damage.

“Xiaoting, Xiaoting!”

But very quickly, Xiaoting Dragon’s expression turned resolute again.

The next second, a bright white light erupted. (End of this chapter)
