Beast Taming: Starting From Zero
Chapter 124: Is this a fireball?
Under various temptations, Qiao Sang adopted a serious attitude, answering whatever the Vice Principal asked.
“Besides energy value and intimacy, what other reasons do you think might have caused Fire Fang Dog to evolve into a new form?”
“Could it be related to Yanfire Potion?” Qiao Sang guessed.
Other Fire Fang Dogs evolved relying on Fire-type Evolution Stones, but Ya Bao relied on Yanfire Potion, making it hard not to consider this factor.
Liu Yao thought seriously for a moment; there truly was this possibility. Although both promoted evolution, the components of Yanfire Potion were completely different from Evolution Stones.
It’s known that some Pets might evolve into different forms depending on the time of day they evolve, let alone the influence of evolution materials.
“Anything else?” Liu Yao asked expectantly.
“Could it have been affected by Xian Teacher’s Space Movement?” Qiao Sang said.
Liu Yao was stunned: “How so?”
“Because this evolution of Fire Fang Dog gained the Superpower System,” Qiao Sang replied.
“Hiss…” Liu Yao was silent for more than ten seconds, digesting this news.
Superpower System, it actually gained the Superpower System…
This being the case, this research would likely attract attention not just from the Yuhua region, and its research value was even more terrifying than he had imagined.
The selection of personnel for the established research team also had to be done with extreme caution.
A flurry of guesses as fierce as a tiger, but in reality, none of them were close, directly leading the future research team down many detours.
Of course, that’s a story for later.
…
Training Ground No. 2.
Qiao Sang returned here in a great mood.
As soon as she entered, she saw two teachers in a tense standoff.
“What’s going on?” Qiao Sang walked up and patted Jin Feifan’s shoulder, asking curiously.
This pat drew the attention of the students who were watching the teachers argue.
Qiao Sang felt a bit bewildered by the stares. Why were they looking at her instead of the excitement?
Noticing Qiao Sang’s arrival, Jin Feifan’s expression was complex, and he whispered, “They just announced the group assignments. You’ve been assigned to the Individual Combat Group.”
Qiao Sang was secretly delighted. Not bad, the teachers still had good judgment. Even though she hadn’t completed all the tests, they still saw her strength.
But what did this have to do with the current situation?
The next second, Jin Feifan cleared up her confusion.
“Teacher Qin wanted you in the Individual Combat Group, while Teacher Luo wanted you in the Individual Coordination Group, so they started arguing.”
So, this was all because she was too outstanding.
Qiao Sang’s emotions were a mix of feelings. She recalled two months ago when she was called to the office and criticized for her terrible grades, and now she was being contended for by two teachers.
“What about you, which group were you assigned to?” Qiao Sang asked.
Jin Feifan replied with a bitter face: “I was selected for the Team Combat Group.”
Although she sympathized with her roommate for not being assigned to the group he wanted, given Little Qiu Pu’s abilities, being assigned to the Team Combat Group was indeed a very good choice.
Just as Qiao Sang was about to offer comfort, she felt two intense gazes.
She looked up and saw the two teachers staring at her in unison.
“Qiao Sang, you’ve returned at just the right time. Do you want to go to the Combat Group or the Coordination Group?” Luo Qian, despite the anger in his stomach, tried his best to smile.
He hadn’t expected Qin Wen to be so devious, directly asking the Vice Principal to assign someone to the Combat Group. But it didn’t matter, as long as Qiao Sang herself was willing to come to him, he would get her, even if it meant a falling out!
If it were any other child, under the gaze of two teachers, they might stammer for a long time before answering, but Qiao Sang wouldn’t. She spoke almost without thinking.
“Of course, the Combat Group.”
Luo Qian: “…”
You could at least hesitate!
…
After the groups were divided, the training for the 12 people was split up.
Everyone, whether in the Individual Combat Group or the Team Combat Group, followed Qin Wen to the training ground.
Among the six people, Qiao Sang knew three.
Besides Jin Feifan, Lu Liangye was also assigned to the Team Combat Group, and there was Lu You in the Individual Combat Group.
“Except for one person, everyone’s skill level was tested yesterday,” Qin Wen said with a serious expression. “Qiao Sang, step forward.”
Qiao Sang obediently took a step forward.
“Yesterday, everyone had a battle with me. You weren’t here yesterday, so you’ll make it up today,” Qin Wen said, forming hand seals and summoning Lick Lick Drop.
Qiao Sang shivered when she saw Lick Lick Drop; its tongue had left a very deep impression on her.
“Ya!”
Ya Bao cried out excitedly from the side.
It hadn’t fought in too long and didn’t know how strong it was now.
Qiao Sang felt a bit affected by Ya Bao’s excitement, and her heart also began to pound faster.
The last proper battle was a month ago. In this month, Ya Bao had trained diligently, using up its energy every day, replenishing it, and then continuing to train.
Now, Spark had reached Profound Meaning, it had also learned Mars Rain, and it had even evolved into Yan Ling Dog. Its progress was undeniably significant.
She also wanted to test Ya Bao’s current strength.
After an unspoken understanding glance between Qiao Sang and Ya Bao, Ya Bao directly jumped in front of Qiao Sang, glaring fiercely at Lick Lick Drop.
“Ya!”
“Do you think Qiao Sang can hit Teacher Qin’s Lick Lick Drop?”
“Probably, right? Burn… Her Pet is an Intermediate Pet, definitely stronger than ours, but it’s just hitting it, at most, she’ll just lose less terribly.”
“What if she wins?”
The person talking froze for a moment, then turned around and laughed loudly: “Lu You, I always thought you were the cool and aloof type, I didn’t expect you could be so humorous.”
Lu You: “…”
He was just stating his opinion normally. Although he also thought the possibility was small, didn’t everyone also not expect Qiao Sang’s Fire Fang Dog to win against Hou Xiangyu’s Control Scale Puppet during the Bai Xin Competition?
“You attack first,” Qin Wen said.
Qiao Sang nodded and didn’t hold back. At the same time, Ya Bao opened its mouth, and a scorching, burning fireball, about the size of a basketball, mercilessly shot towards the opponent.
Lick Lick Drop was still leisurely standing in place, but when it saw this terrifying attack, almost the size of its face, it was so scared that it quickly adjusted its energy, trying to conjure a Water Wall to block it.
But Ya Bao’s attack was too fast, almost launched the moment Qiao Sang nodded.
Lick Lick Drop had just gathered a tiny rudimentary Water Wall in front of it when the fireball was only about 2 meters away.
Qin Wen’s heart tightened. With years of experience, she could tell that even a fully formed Water Wall would not be able to completely block this flame, which contained immense energy.
“Jump!” Qin Wen quickly commanded.
Lick Lick Drop didn’t hesitate, executing its Yu Beast Master’s command immediately. It bent its legs and leaped up.
Its reaction was quick enough, and it jumped high enough, but the energy of this fireball was too terrifying.
The basketball-sized fireball exploded on the ground, and fire waves rolled outwards from the point of impact. Scorching tongues of flame reached upwards, touching the soles of Lick Lick Drop’s feet.
“Lick Lick!!!”
Lick Lick Drop shrieked and jumped even higher with the added boost from the flames.
The group of people were dumbfounded, holy crap! It hit on the first attack?!
“Is that a Fireball?” Someone swallowed hard.
“Nonsense! Does that thing look like a Fireball?! That’s a Great Fireball!” Lu Liangye shouted.
Happy Qixi Festival, everyone~
