Beast Taming: Starting From Zero

Chapter 1202: Finally Cursed (Two in One)

Qiao Sang paused, then said in surprise, “How did you know? I just finished registering.”

The implied meaning of this sentence was that the Fire Fang Dog that evolved to the Emperor-level Pet was Ya Bao.

Silence, a deathly silence.

The silence lasted so long that Qiao Sang thought the call had been disconnected and was about to check, when the Vice Principal’s voice finally rang out:

“I am the project leader for the Fire Fang Dog’s new evolution pathway research, so I knew immediately.”

Qiao Sang said, “That’s not right. Before, when Ya Bao evolved, I always contacted you.”

“You’ve already evolved to the Emperor-level!” Liu Yao was momentarily flustered, but he quickly realized his lapse, took a deep breath, and calmly said, “The Fire Fang Dog’s original evolution chain only goes up to the King-level.

Your new evolution chain has reached the Emperor-level.

Any Pet whose evolution limit breaks through to the Emperor-level, or to a higher level than its original evolution chain, will be reported immediately, and the research base of that Pet will also be notified.”

“The Fire Fang Dog doesn’t have a related research base, but it does have a related research institute, so I naturally received the notification.”

So that’s how it was, it was even reported to Blue Star, no wonder today’s registration took so long… Qiao Sang voiced her thoughts:

“I knew it, today’s registration took so long.”

“Xiao Xunbao~”

Xiao Xunbao heard her Yu Beast Master’s words and nodded in agreement.

Is this the main point… Liu Yao fell silent again.

“Vice Principal?” Seeing no response from the other end of the phone for a long time, Qiao Sang couldn’t help but call out.

Although the Vice Principal was no longer the Vice Principal, she still habitually called him that.

Liu Yao adjusted his mindset, then asked the question that had been racking his brain:

“How did Ya Bao evolve to the Emperor-level in such a short time?”

“It’s a long story.

Originally, I was planning to search for tai yang jing (sun crystal)… ” Qiao Sang rattled off the story of meeting Liousias and the穿越 (crossing over).

??? After listening, Liu Yao’s mind was filled with shock and confusion, and a string of question marks flashed through his mind.

He felt like he couldn’t process it at all.

“Colored Flower Bud Shalala? Tenth Seat? Special Envoy Shi Pan? Transmigration? Fire meteor? Sun explosion? Absorbing fire spirit crystal? What are you talking about?” Liu Yao couldn’t help but ask a series of questions.

“Didn’t you understand?” Qiao Sang asked, puzzled.

She felt she had explained it very thoroughly.

“Is the Colored Flower Bud Shalala you mentioned the Illusion Beast Colored Flower Bud Shalala of Yan Tian Star? Is the Tenth Seat the Tenth Seat of the Beast Tamer Alliance?” Liu Yao took a deep breath and asked patiently.

Qiao Sang hummed, “Yan Tian Star should only have the Illusion Beast Colored Flower Bud Shalala called Colored Flower Bud Shalala.

The Tenth Seat is naturally the Tenth Seat of the Beast Tamer Alliance.”

“What about Special Envoy Shi Pan? What kind of Pet is it?” Liu Yao asked.

Qiao Sang was stunned for a moment.

She never expected the Vice Principal not to know what Special Envoy Shi Pan was, to the point where she had to explain it.

In an instant, the Vice Principal’s image of being all-knowing in her mind collapsed quite a bit.

“Special Envoy Shi Pan is a Superpower System Illusion Beast from Yan Tian Star, possessing the ability to travel through time and space,” Qiao Sang explained.

Oh my goodness… Liu Yao only felt that the things he needed to process far exceeded his understanding.

What had Qiao Sang experienced in just a few short months?

Are all these legendary Pets, divine beasts, and Illusion Beasts so easy to encounter?!

Liu Yao fell silent again.

After more than ten seconds, he tried to return to a topic he could understand and asked, “So you’re saying Ya Bao evolved by absorbing Sun Power?”

“That’s what I’m guessing,” Qiao Sang said.

“At that time, Ju Ji Ji predicted that Ya Bao would evolve when it got close to the sun.”

Liu Yao asked, puzzled, “Ju Ji Ji?”

“It’s the Venerable-level form of the legendary Pet Julozas from Yan Tian Star,” Qiao Sang explained.

“It can know everything about a person from birth to death with just one glance.

At that time, it helped Ya Bao and the others take a look, which is why I wanted to go to Menzhou to search for tai yang jing (sun crystal).”

She paused, then added, “tai yang jing (sun crystal) is one of the evolution materials for Ya Bao from Emperor-level to Imperial-level.”

Let me calm down, let me calm down… Liu Yao felt his brain losing its ability to think.

Qiao Sang continued, “You don’t need to research Ya Bao’s evolution pathway to the Imperial-level anymore.

The evolution tools it needs are true fire crystal, li fire crystal, and tai yang jing (sun crystal).”

What true fire crystal, what li fire crystal, what tai yang jing (sun crystal)… Liu Yao only felt that there were too many things to process, and his brain was currently struggling to cope.

After a few seconds, he said, “I’ll process this first.

I’ll call you back later.”

With that, he hung up the phone.

Was what I said so difficult to understand? Qiao Sang put down her phone, puzzled, and walked towards the hotel, hugging Colored Flower Bud Shalala.

… …

Hotel.

Suite.

Qiao Sang pushed open the door and saw Mi Jiala sitting blankly on the sofa, with a computer on the coffee table in front of her, looking lost.

“Teacher, what’s wrong?” she couldn’t help but ask.

Mi Jiala seemed to have just come back to her senses, and looked at Qiao Sang and Ya Bao with a very complex expression, saying, “I wasn’t mistaken.”

“What?” Qiao Sang didn’t react for a moment.

“The golden flame Ya Bao displayed in the training ground this morning was Sacred Fire,” Mi Jiala said.

So that’s what she was talking about… Qiao Sang pretended to show a surprised expression and confirmed, “Really?”

“Ya Ya?”

Ya Bao looked at Mi Jiala with anticipation, also asking if it was true.

It wasn’t sure how powerful Sacred Fire was, but it could easily tell from the conversation and expressions of its Yu Beast Master and its Yu Beast Master’s teacher that it was a very powerful skill.

“I’ve checked,” Mi Jiala said calmly, having managed her expression.

“A golden flame that also feels warm can only be Sacred Fire.”

You finally realized… Qiao Sang showed an excited expression and said, “That’s wonderful!”

“Ya Ya!”

Ya Bao let out a happy cry.

“I just checked the detailed information on Sacred Fire as well,” Mi Jiala explained.

“Initially, it only has the effect of dispelling curses.

Only when its proficiency increases can it cause damage to the target’s spiritual power and physical body.”

“In the later stages, I guess when it reaches Perfection or Profound Meaning, it will have the effects of dispelling plagues and burning souls.”

At this point, Mi Jiala became serious:

“The surface power of Sacred Fire might not seem as strong as other Super-level fire-type skills, but its true power should absolutely not be underestimated, otherwise it wouldn’t have been considered for classification as a Divine-level skill by the Beast Tamer Alliance back then.”

“Flames that burn souls and spiritual power, even a fire-type Pet with S-rank Flash Fire wouldn’t be able to resist them.”

Even a Pet with S-rank Flash Fire couldn’t resist… Qiao Sang was stunned for a moment.

Ya Bao happened to have the Flash Fire characteristic, and she clearly knew the importance of this characteristic.

An S-rank Flash Fire characteristic, if placed on a Beginner fire-type Pet, might mean that the flames of a High Level fire-type Pet wouldn’t cause it too much damage.

She wasn’t clear about the strength of Emperor-level Pets, since Ya Bao had just evolved.

However, if a King-level Beginner fire-type Pet possessed an S-rank Flash Fire characteristic, then it would be able to completely resist the power of a King-level late-stage fire-type Pet’s flames.

At this level of Pet, even a small difference in stage meant a world of difference in strength, let alone Emperor-level.

At this moment, Qiao Sang’s heart rate unconsciously quickened.

Previously, she had heard Teacher Mi Jiala mention that this skill was almost classified as a Divine-level skill.

But saying that didn’t really give her a clear concept.

But now, hearing that even a Pet with S-rank Flash Fire couldn’t resist, Qiao Sang’s concept instantly became clear.

She knew that the level of the Pet with S-rank Flash Fire that Teacher Mi Jiala was referring to could not be lower than Ya Bao’s, at least the same level, or even higher.

Mi Jiala said solemnly, “Ya Bao must focus on practicing this skill.”

“Understood!” Qiao Sang said immediately.

“Ya Ya!” Ya Bao showed a serious expression and cried out.

It was simple for Ya Bao to improve the skill’s proficiency; it just had to keep using it.

However, Qiao Sang was still quite curious about Sacred Fire’s ability to dispel curses.

She reconfirmed with Teacher Mi Jiala that Sacred Fire with low proficiency could only dispel curses, then had Ya Bao use Sacred Fire on a tissue, and finding that it indeed didn’t burn, she couldn’t help but look at Xiao Xunbao.

“Xiao Xunbao?”

Xiao Xunbao blinked.

“Find a target, and we’ll perform a Decline Luck Curse,” Qiao Sang said.

Mi Jiala looked over.

She immediately understood what her student was about to do.

To be honest, she was also quite interested in seeing Sacred Fire dispel curses, after all, she had only heard of this skill before, never seen it with her own eyes.

“Xiao Xunbao~”

Xiao Xunbao cried out, indicating it understood, then took off its ring and pulled out an ant from inside.

… Qiao Sang’s mouth twitched, and she said, “This won’t work.”

“Xiao Xunbao?” Xiao Xunbao showed a puzzled expression and cried out.

“The target is too small, it’s hard to observe,” Qiao Sang said.

“Xiao Xunbao…” Xiao Xunbao put the ant back into the ring, then looked at Qing Bao.

“Qing Qing!”

Qing Bao was startled at first, then cried out with a face full of refusal, indicating that it didn’t want to be cursed.

Xiao Xunbao then looked at its other little brother, Steel Treasure.

“Steel Treasure.”

Steel Treasure was silent for a moment, then cried out, indicating, “Come on, I’m ready.”

“Xiao Xunbao~”

Xiao Xunbao’s eyes lit up, and it patted Steel Treasure’s wing, crying out, indicating that Fourth Brother was still the most understanding.

Just as it was about to cast the Decline Luck Curse, Steel Treasure calmly cried out:

“Steel Treasure.”

I remember that attacking you will also result in a curse.

Xiao Xunbao froze, and a bad premonition arose in its heart.

“Steel Treasure.”

Steel Treasure then calmly cried out, indicating that it remembered the Decline Luck Curse made one unlucky for a period of time, which would require constant observation, wasting a lot of time.

But if you attack me, you might be unable to move, or unable to use skills to attack you.

Dispelling these two curses could be discovered immediately, saving a lot of time.

That makes a lot of sense… Qiao Sang was instantly convinced by his words and said, “Then let’s try attacking Xiao Xunbao.”

“Xiao Xunbao?!”

Xiao Xunbao’s eyes widened, and it teleported to the corner of the room, showing a “Are you serious?” expression.

“Qing Qing~”

Qing Bao suddenly let out a sweet cry, indicating that it had just thought about it and felt it still wanted to contribute.

It could help test the power of Sacred Fire.

“Xiao Xunbao!”

Xiao Xunbao was anxious and cried out, indicating that you just want to attack me!

“Qing Qing…”

Qing Bao showed a wronged expression and cried out, indicating, “How could you think that of me?”

After speaking, it looked at its Yu Beast Master with a wronged expression.

Xiao Xunbao also looked over with a wronged expression.

Steel Treasure remained silent, hiding its merits and fame, as if it had never suggested the idea.

“Ya Ya.”

Before Qiao Sang could speak, Ya Bao cried out, indicating that it should attack Xiao Xunbao instead.

It had excellent control over its energy now and could control it to the smallest force, so Xiao Xunbao wouldn’t feel too much pain.

“Xiao Xunbao!”

Xiao Xunbao’s head instantly shook like a rattle drum, indicating that it would rather let Fifth Brother attack!

“You already possess Sacred Fire yourself, so you won’t easily fall into a curse,” Qiao Sang said without much thought:

“Let Ting Bao attack.”

Ting Bao was only a Beginner Pet, with a huge difference in level from Xiao Xunbao, so the attack wouldn’t hurt, and there was a greater chance of falling into a curse.

Ting Bao, who was currently rubbing against Lu Bao for coolness, paused.

“Xiao Xunbao!”

Xiao Xunbao’s eyes suddenly lit up, and it teleported back, nodding repeatedly.

Good, good, let Sixth Brother attack it.

Qing Bao was a little disappointed inside, but didn’t show it.

“Ting Ting?” Ting Bao looked at its Yu Beast Master to confirm.

“That’s right, attack Xiao Xunbao,” Qiao Sang said.

“Xiao Xunbao~”

Xiao Xunbao puffed out its chest and cried out, indicating to just bring it on.

“Ting Ting.”

Ting Bao cried out and, without hesitation, yellow electric arcs shot out from its body, suddenly striking Xiao Xunbao.

Xiao Xunbao stood with its hands on its hips under the power of lightning, completely motionless.

After the lightning dissipated, Xiao Xunbao was unharmed.

Ting Bao seemed to sense something, and its expression froze for a moment.

“Can you still move?” Qiao Sang asked.

“Ting Ting.” Ting Bao wagged its tail.

“Then can you still use Discharge?” Qiao Sang asked again.

Ting Bao didn’t say a word and directly released yellow lightning again, striking Xiao Xunbao.

Xiao Xunbao: “…”

“You can still move, and you can still use skills, so why did you have that expression just now?” Qiao Sang couldn’t help but ask.

“Ting Ting.”

Ting Bao cried out, indicating that it just thought Boss was really amazing.

“Xiao Xunbao!”

Xiao Xunbao’s spirits lifted upon hearing this, and it cried out with full vigor, indicating that Boss could withstand hundreds more strikes!

Qiao Sang: “…”

“Strike,” she said.

“Ting Ting.”

Ting Bao cried out and began to release lightning power from its body, striking Xiao Xunbao.

Once, twice, thrice… eight times…

It’s been so many times, and it still hasn’t been hit by the Curse Body and Curse Body curses… Qiao Sang looked at the lightning continuously striking Xiao Xunbao, feeling very surprised.

One must know that Xiao Xunbao’s Curse Body was C-rank, and its Curse Body was even B-rank.

When attacked, there was a 50% chance of making the opponent enter a fixed state.

Ting Bao was only Beginner-level, so logically, with such a large difference in level, the chance of being cursed should increase, so why hadn’t it been hit after so many attacks…

“Ting Ting…”

As thoughts flashed, Ting Bao showed an expression of “It’s finally here” and cried out, indicating that it had finally been cursed. (End of this chapter)
