Beast Taming: Starting From Zero
Chapter 17: do not you know?
The two of them didn’t speak for a long time.
Qiao Sang stood silently to the side.
The spiky-haired boy winked at Jiang Liu.
Jiang Liu asked curiously, “What’s wrong with your eyes?”
The spiky-haired boy: “…”
He’s too foolish.
The spiky-haired boy resisted the urge to rub his forehead and squeezed out one word: “Money.”
Only then did Jiang Liu realize, and he hastily pulled out 50 alliance coins from his pocket and handed them over.
The spiky-haired boy: “…”
You really deserve to be single! Can’t you add contact info and then transfer the money?
“Thank you, I’ll be leaving now.” Qiao Sang took the money and smiled.
The peak time for after-school was limited; she still needed to stake out more people during this period.
“Wait, fight me too.” The spiky-haired boy stopped Qiao Sang, “I don’t need money; just tell me the secret to training a Fire Fang Dog.”
Qiao Sang shook her head and said, “I have no secret.”
“Impossible, if there’s no secret, why is the Fire Fang Dog so obedient?” The spiky-haired boy’s face was full of disbelief.
Methods for training Pets are not a secret; universities even have majors related to Pet training.
People who graduate from such a major are called Trainers by the Alliance, and like Yu Beast Masters, they also need to pass exams, from F-grade all the way up to SS-grade.
Some people who have contracted a Pet will specifically find a Trainer to devise a series of training plans.
But there are also those who have their own unique methods of Yu Beast and are unwilling to share them.
Like the Wei family in Jiangcheng, relying on food that can make Fairy-type extraordinary creatures fond of them, they managed to make the elusive Fairy-type extraordinary creatures appear before them and willingly become their Pets.
This kind of food naturally made people envious; if the recipe were patented or sold, they could make a fortune.
But the Wei family only used it for their own people.
Later, almost everyone in the Wei family could own a Fairy-type Pet, and after more than 300 years of development, they earned the title of ‘Fairy Family’.
The spiky-haired boy believed that Qiao Sang was unwilling to tell him.
He still remembered how the senior from second year, one of the only two students in the school with a Fire-type Pet, brought out his Fire Armor Rat wanting to let a junior girl Pet it, but the Fire Armor Rat immediately spat a mouthful of flames at him.
The person was fine, but his hair was scorched, so he shaved his head and still wears a hat every day.
Unlike this Fire Fang Dog, which could obediently stand still in such a situation.
Qiao Sang asked, puzzled, “I am its Yu Beast Master, isn’t it normal for it to listen to me?”
“Woof.”
The Fire Fang Dog nodded, seemingly agreeing with its Yu Beast Master’s words.
Looking at the Fire Fang Dog, the spiky-haired boy became unsure; was this Fire Fang Dog so well-behaved because its inherent personality was docile?
“Can I Pet it?” the spiky-haired boy asked.
“Chen Tongtong, don’t be impulsive.” Jiang Liu advised.
The reason for the senior’s baldness was already known throughout the school; he was afraid Chen Tongtong would become the second bald person in the school.
“It’s fine, go ahead and Pet it.” Qiao Sang looked indifferent.
When they were at the Pet base, before contracting, the Fire Fang Dog was also willing to let her Pet it.
Chen Tongtong’s heart fluttered; he squatted down, looked at the Fire Fang Dog, and just extended his hand.
“Woof.”
The Fire Fang Dog friendly showed him its sharp teeth.
Chen Tongtong immediately withdrew his hand, afraid that the Fire Fang Dog would bite him the next second.
“You should still fight me; I don’t need any secrets anymore, just tell me how you usually train your Fire Fang Dog.” Chen Tongtong stood up and said.
“Okay.” Qiao Sang agreed.
Although the Fire Fang Dog had only been with her for 3 or 4 days at most, she could still be considered to have some training experience.
Seeing that the two had made a decision, Jiang Liu stepped forward and said, “I’ll be the referee this time.”
Qiao Sang nodded.
Chen Tongtong summoned his Pet.
Qiao Sang fell silent as she looked at the extraordinary creature before her.
A brown Bug-type Pet, about 10 centimeters long, resembling a foxtail, was wriggling on the ground.
It was actually a Cotton Section Worm…
Cotton Section Worms are mostly green, and brown ones are rare; this kind of cheap and common Pet is generally not contracted by Yu Beast Masters with any ambition.
However, its evolutionary forms are diverse; currently, 5 different elemental evolutionary forms have been researched, and among them, its evolutionary form, the Ba Xue Butterfly, is a rare Ice-type Pet, which instantly increases the Cotton Section Worm’s value by dozens of times.
But all this value is based on its evolutionary form.
Qiao Sang had read in books that the Cotton Section Worm, apart from spitting silk and ramming, could not learn any other skills.
Isn’t this just giving her money?
“You go first this time.” Qiao Sang said.
She was afraid the Fire Fang Dog would end the battle with just one Spark…
Chen Tongtong naturally knew what Qiao Sang was thinking; every time he brought out his Cotton Section Worm, the opponent would let him go first.
This kind of disregard, this feeling of not being taken seriously, always benefited him in battles.
A normal Cotton Section Worm can evolve in 3-5 months, but his Cotton Section Worm was deliberately delayed for nearly a year, all to lay a good foundation for its perfect evolution.
With this solid foundation, his Cotton Section Worm was no longer comparable to an ordinary Cotton Section Worm!
He even achieved an impressive 39th place in this year’s first-year Yu Beast battle competition, thanks to the toughness of his Cotton Section Worm’s silk, which far surpassed that of ordinary Cotton Section Worms!
“Cotton Section Worm! Let her see your strength!” Chen Tongtong raised one hand and shouted forcefully.
“Jie!”
The Cotton Section Worm let out a cry, and a bright white silk thread shot towards the Fire Fang Dog at high speed.
Its speed was so fast that the Fire Fang Dog was bound by the silk thread before it could even move its leg.
The Fire Fang Dog struggled but couldn’t break free.
Qiao Sang frowned; it seemed that the Fire Fang Dog’s speed training needed to be put on the agenda.
“Give it the final blow!” Chen Tongtong continued to shout.
The Cotton Section Worm’s body glowed with a faint white light, and its 10-centimeter body wasn’t wriggling but charging through the air!
Its speed was much faster than the Fire Fang Dog’s earlier tackle.
Qiao Sang eyed the distance and, 3 seconds later, gave the command: “Fire Fang.”
Brilliant flames instantly destroyed the snow-white silk thread, accurately biting into the charging Cotton Section Worm.
“Jie!!!” The Cotton Section Worm screamed piercingly.
Two seconds later, its eyes rolled back, and it fainted.
“Qiao Sang wins.” Jiang Liu announced.
“Cotton Section Worm!” Chen Tongtong rushed over and embraced the fallen Cotton Section Worm.
After confirming that the Cotton Section Worm had only fainted, he recalled it into his yu beast codex.
“Why?” Chen Tongtong looked up, his eyes red, and asked Qiao Sang.
“What?” Qiao Sang retorted.
She didn’t understand; wasn’t it normal for the Fire Fang Dog to win against the Cotton Section Worm? Why was he reacting so strongly?
“Why did you break the Cotton Section Worm’s silk so easily?” Chen Tongtong stared intently at Qiao Sang, asking unwillingly.
His Cotton Section Worm’s silk was incredibly tough; once it bound an opponent, they basically couldn’t break free, and even those with great strength would take a while.
It wasn’t like this, as if it were just playing around.
“Uh.” Qiao Sang thought for a moment, “Don’t you know that Fire-type counters Bug-type?”
Chen Tongtong: “…”
“Perhaps you haven’t battled a Fire-type Pet before?” Qiao Sang felt she had hit the truth.
Chen Tongtong: “…! !”
