Beast Taming: Starting From Zero

Chapter 1224: Thunder Bao VS Earth Dragon (two in one)

“Xiao Xunbao!”

Xiao Xunbao called out, cheering it on.

The surrounding insect-type pet beasts also started cheering, rooting for the Earth Land Dragon.

These guys are all in cahoots… Xiao Xunbao glanced at the surrounding insect-type pet beasts, then his gaze towards Lightning Treasure became worried.

This is the first place, and she doesn’t know if the sixth-ranked one can win.

“Tutu!”

Inside the Barrier, the Earth Land Dragon roared, and the grassy area where Lightning Treasure was located suddenly ripped open, revealing a towering rock spike.

Lightning Treasure sensed the ground shaking and tearing, twisting her body and quickly ascending, dodging the attack of the rock spike.

The Earth Land Dragon pouted her mouth, spraying out streams of mud like bombs diagonally upwards.

Lightning Treasure moved quickly, but unfortunately, the mud was faster, and even though she changed direction, she was still hit by the mud.

“Bang!”

With a loud bang, the mud exploded.

The surrounding insect-type pet beasts cheered.

“Xiao Xunbao!” Xiao Xunbao cried out anxiously.

After watching the sixth-ranked one participate in so many matches, this was the first time she had seen the sixth-ranked one being so badly suppressed at the start of a 1V1 match.

The Earth Land Dragon’s mouth curved upwards.

However, when she saw Lightning Treasure emerge seemingly unharmed, her smile flattened.

Xiao Xunbao, watching from outside the Barrier, wasn’t particularly happy about this, because she knew that Lightning Treasure had activated her Multiple Scales ability, and this ability could only be activated once per match, there was no second time.

Lightning Treasure didn’t miss the opportunity when her opponent was staring at her, widening her eyes and revealing a sharp gaze.

A sudden, inexplicable fear rose in the Earth Land Dragon’s heart.

This fear wasn’t strong, but it still prevented her from attacking again immediately.

Yellow light flickered in Lightning Treasure’s eyes, and suddenly, yellow electric arcs appeared around her, converging into an electric net that enveloped the Earth Land Dragon’s position.

By the time the Earth Land Dragon reacted, the electric net had already covered her body.

“Tutu!”

The Earth Land Dragon roared.

Lightning Treasure didn’t waste time, another yellow electric arc appeared on her body, transforming into a wild lightning snake, and blasted towards the Earth Land Dragon’s direction.

The power of lightning did not penetrate the Earth Land Dragon’s surface. Facing the lightning attacks all around her, the Earth Land Dragon showed a look of disdain towards Lightning Treasure, then burrowed into the ground and disappeared.

Seeing this, Lightning Treasure was stunned for a moment, then instinctively summoned an electric arc, transforming it into a lightning snake, and struck into the hole where the Earth Land Dragon had burrowed.

At the same time, a white light burst from below, shooting up into the sky at an astonishing speed.

With a “bang!”, it heavily struck Lightning Treasure, who was in the midst of unleashing her lightning power.

“Ting Ting!”

Lightning Treasure screamed and flew backwards.

The Earth Land Dragon landed on the ground, looking at her opponent who was flying backwards, and stomped her right foot downwards.

“Xiao Xunbao!”

Xiao Xunbao seemed to have seen something and cried out loudly.

But it was useless.

Inside the Barrier, a rock spike about one meter long suddenly emerged from below the position where Lightning Treasure was flying backwards, fiercely piercing into her body.

“Ting Ting!”

Lightning Treasure screamed again, rocks shattered, and dust flew.

Xiao Xunbao covered her eyes, somewhat afraid to look.

When the dust settled, Lightning Treasure lay on the ground, her eyes closed, unconscious.

“Tutu.”

The Earth Land Dragon’s mouth curved, as if she had long anticipated such a result.

“Dede.”

The elderly insect-type Pet beast looked at the fallen Lightning Treasure, blew the whistle signaling the end, and called out.

Virtual panels appeared simultaneously above Lightning Treasure and the Earth Land Dragon. In the points column, one decreased by one, and the other increased by one.

The surrounding insect-type pet beasts immediately cheered.

The Barrier disappeared.

“Xiao Xunbao!”

Xiao Xunbao instantly moved to Lightning Treasure’s side, calling out with a worried expression.

Lightning Treasure was unconscious and couldn’t respond.

Surrounded by a crowd of insect-type pet beasts, the Earth Land Dragon turned and left.

Villa, outdoor training ground.

“Shasha.” Colored Flower Bud Shalala handed over a blade of grass.

Qiao Sang thanked her, took it, and nodded at Fang Bao:

“Come on.”

“Yaya!”

Fang Bao showed a serious expression, called out, then opened her mouth and sprayed golden flames at the grass in her Yu Beast Master’s hand.

A warm temperature emanated, but Qiao Sang did not let go.

Within the golden flames, the small blade of grass swayed slightly, without suffering any damage.

“Yaya!”

Fang Bao called out excitedly.

The flames disappeared.

“Not bad, it seems you can now independently control the Purification and damage of the Sacred Fire.” Qiao Sang smiled.

“Yaya!”

Fang Bao called out impatiently, indicating that she wanted to find a target to purify right now.

“Yaya?”

After speaking, she seemed to think of something and called out, asking when Xiao Xunbao would return, so she could have Xiao Xunbao directly curse a target for her to try.

“Xiao Xunbao and Lightning Treasure should be back in the evening.” Qiao Sang said, “You practice a few more times. When you can use Sacred Fire a hundred times without any functional errors, then we’ll find a cursed target to try it on.”

After all, the Sacred Fire is powerful. If the control isn’t good and the effect is mistaken, not only might it fail to purify, but the person might also directly disappear. To be safe, it’s better to practice the skill again until it’s 100% accurate before proceeding.

“Yaya.”

Fang Bao nodded, indicating that she understood.

Just as she was about to go train, she suddenly sensed something and looked up.

In mid-air, Xiao Xunbao and Lightning Treasure appeared out of thin air.

“Xiao Xunbao!”

Xiao Xunbao landed on the ground with Lightning Treasure, calling out anxiously.

Qiao Sang looked over and saw that Lightning Treasure’s eyes were closed. The first thought that flashed through her mind was:

Is Lightning Treasure going to shed her second skin again?

Then came the second thought: No, Lightning Treasure is injured.

Realizing that Lightning Treasure was injured, she immediately called out, “Lu Bao.”

Lu Bao stopped her training and walked over. Without a word, the gem on her forehead glowed with a faint blue light, shining on Lightning Treasure’s body.

“What happened?” Qiao Sang asked Xiao Xunbao.

After half a month of competitions, it wasn’t that Lightning Treasure hadn’t been injured, but she always returned in the evening, conscious, and had already gathered all 200 points. This was the first time Lightning Treasure came home injured in broad daylight.

“Xiao Xunbao.”

“Xiao Xunbao.”

“Xiao Xunbao…”

Xiao Xunbao sighed and rambled on, recounting the details of Lightning Treasure’s recent match.

At this moment, the faint blue light disappeared, and Lightning Treasure had already woken up. She listened to Xiao Xunbao’s words, her head sinking lower and lower, feeling somewhat ashamed to face her Yu Beast Master.

Qiao Sang listened, then was stunned for a moment, and asked:

“You said Lightning Treasure encountered the top-ranked Earth Land Dragon?”

“Xiao Xunbao~”

Xiao Xunbao nodded.

That’s too much of a coincidence, I just saw the Earth Land Dragon’s interview news this morning, and Lightning Treasure ran into her… Qiao Sang thought to herself.

She wasn’t particularly surprised that Lightning Treasure lost to the Earth Land Dragon.

The Earth Land Dragon is a Ground-type and Dragon-type dual-attribute Pet. In terms of attributes, she naturally restrains Lightning Treasure. Moreover, Lightning Treasure is young and has only shed her skin once. The opponent is ranked first in points in the Pet Free Points Battle, which is enough to show her remarkable strength. It’s normal to lose.

“Ting Ting…”

Lightning Treasure buried her head, feeling down.

What first place or not, she only knew that she had lost.

“Yaya.”

Fang Bao listened, saw Lightning Treasure’s state, and comforted her, saying, ‘What’s there to be sad about? It’s just a loss. Just win it back.’

“Ting Ting.”

Lightning Treasure’s eyes lit up for a moment, then she thought of something, shook her head, and called out, indicating that she should forget it. She still had to accumulate 200 points every day, and had no time to find the opponent for another one-on-one battle. Even if she found her, she might not be able to win.

“Who said that?” Qiao Sang said.

Lightning Treasure was stunned for a moment and looked over.

“Do you want to battle her again?” Qiao Sang looked at her and asked.

“Ting Ting.”

Lightning Treasure was silent for a moment, then nodded honestly.

Yes.

“Yaya!”

Fang Bao called out.

That’s right, how can you just give up when you lose?

“Then find that Earth Land Dragon again and battle her.” Qiao Sang said.

According to the competition rules, one cannot find a Pet that has already been battled for another match, otherwise there is suspicion of points farming. However, if the losing party actively seeks out the winning party for a match, there is no problem, but the opportunity is only once.

“Ting Ting…”

Lightning Treasure showed a hesitant expression and called out.

Can she win against the opponent? And those 200 points…

Qiao Sang interrupted, “Lightning Treasure, we are going to participate in the Interstellar Cup in the future. Along the way, many opponents may defeat you. What we need to do is to work hard to become stronger, defeat these opponents, and then leave them far behind.”

She paused, then added, “As for the 200 points, it doesn’t affect our accumulation at all. You still have time left to train every day when you come back. If it really doesn’t work, we can reduce the points we accumulate daily.”

At this time, it’s more important to find and defeat the opponent who beat you, rather than finding weaker opponents to accumulate points.

“Ting Ting!”

Lightning Treasure was first stunned, then her eyes lit up, and she nodded and called out, indicating that she would definitely defeat that guy.

After speaking, she immediately thought of something, looked at Xiao Xunbao, and called out:

“Ting Ting.”

Let’s go find opponents to compete with again, and first gather the points needed for today.

Xiao Xunbao: “…”

Your Yu Beast Master said that, why can’t you just follow the flow and say you want to train first to defeat that Earth Land Dragon…

Before Xiao Xunbao could respond, Qiao Sang took out her phone, checked the time, and said:

“No matter how many points you accumulate today, come back before 4 PM. We’ll then conduct targeted training.”

“Ting Ting.”

Lightning Treasure showed a serious expression and called out, indicating that she understood.

Accumulating points was a task assigned by her Yu Beast Master, and defeating the Earth Land Dragon was something she wanted to do.

“Xiao Xunbao~”

Xiao Xunbao also quickly followed suit and called out.

“Xiao Xunbao~”

After speaking, Xiao Xunbao did not immediately leave with Lightning Treasure. Instead, she moved closer to her Yu Beast Master, grinning as she called out, indicating that since they had to come back so early, if they didn’t accumulate 200 points, she wouldn’t have to increase her physical training time, right?

Qiao Sang smiled at her and said, “As long as you don’t take Lightning Treasure out to play around.”

“Qing Qing.”

Qingbao floated over and called out, indicating that she could help keep an eye on them.

As she spoke, a Qingyun Na Nai that looked exactly like her appeared beside her.

Xiao Xunbao: “…”

Xiao Xunbao glanced at Qingbao, then suddenly her eyes glowed blue, and she disappeared from the spot with Lightning Treasure.

Seeing this, Qingbao calmly closed her eyes.

Suddenly, the wind started to blow around her.

Qingbao opened her eyes.

Before long, the wind spun.

Qingbao’s energy circulated, and her clone followed the direction of the wind, transforming into wind and leaving.

“Yaya!”

Fang Bao called out to her Yu Beast Master, indicating that she was going to train.

With that, she turned and walked towards the garden.

“Shasha!”

Colored Flower Bud Shalala seemed to understand something, quickly floated over, spread her arms, blocked her way, and shook her head.

“Yaya.”

Fang Bao called out, indicating, “You have to believe me, I can control it very well now.”

“Shasha!”

Colored Flower Bud Shalala remained unmoved, shaking her head resolutely.

“Fang Bao, don’t use the flowers and plants in the garden for practice.” Qiao Sang said, seeing this scene.

“Yaya…”

Fang Bao showed an “Alright then” expression and turned to walk towards a rock not far away.

She originally thought that flowers and plants were the most fragile, and if they weren’t burned, it would better demonstrate her control. Unfortunately, both her Yu Beast Master and Colored Flower Bud Shalala disagreed.

“Shasha.”

Colored Flower Bud Shalala breathed a sigh of relief, floated to Qiao Sang’s side, and gave her a sweet smile.

Qiao Sang returned a smile and turned to walk towards the living room.

“Mog Mog?”

Dragon King was lying on the sofa, propping her head with her paw, watching TV. Seeing Qiao Sang walk in, she turned her head and casually called out.

That little guy lost?

She had heard the conversation outside.

“She’ll win it back.” Qiao Sang said, sitting down in a chair by the dining table.

“Mog Mog.”

Dragon King called out, indicating that if you had contracted those little guys from my clan back then, you wouldn’t have lost to a Pet of the same rank.

Qiao Sang didn’t speak, she took out her phone and started searching for information about the Earth Land Dragon.

Dragon King found it uninteresting and continued watching TV.

Earth Land Dragon, a Ground-type and Dragon-type dual-attribute Pet, possesses strong defense and endurance among intermediate-level Pets, as well as decent attack power… Even among Dragon-type Pet Beasts, she is considered relatively strong, no wonder she has been ranked first in points for a long time… Qiao Sang finished reading the information, sighed inwardly, and began searching for battle videos of the Earth Land Dragon.

As the Earth Land Dragon had long dominated the points leaderboard, she must have attracted the attention of many Yu Beast Masters and Pets. There must be videos of her participating in the Pet Free Points Battle online.

As expected, as soon as she searched, a pile of videos appeared below.

Qiao Sang began to watch them.

3:04 PM.

Xiao Xunbao and Lightning Treasure appeared out of thin air in the living room.

Lightning Treasure looked left and right.

“Mog Mog.”

Dragon King knew what she was looking for, pointed her paw, which she had just used to pick her nose, in the direction of the outdoor training ground, and called out.

“Ting Ting.”

Lightning Treasure glanced at her, called out, and flew towards the outdoor training ground.

“Ting Ting.”

Soon, she saw her Yu Beast Master’s figure and sped up, flying over.

“You’re back.” Qiao Sang heard the movement and turned to say.

“Ting Ting.”

Lightning Treasure nodded and called out, indicating that she could now begin targeted training.

Qiao Sang looked at her, was silent for a moment, then said in a deep voice, “That Earth Land Dragon has the Lightning Rod ability.” (End of chapter)
