Beast Taming: Starting From Zero

Chapter 180: Sure enough, I’m addicted.

The entire training ground fell silent.

Prickly Berry’s bristles stood on end, and it froze in place, not daring to move.

The instigator, Shi Gaofeng, turned to go for a run on the playground, but Zheng Guoping, quick as a flash, grabbed him by the back of his collar.

“Huanhuan?”

Shi Gaofeng turned his head, looking confused.

Zheng Guoping was silent for a long while before asking, “What does Huanhuan mean?”

Shi Gaofeng was about to explain when he suddenly remembered something. A look of panic appeared on his face, and he covered his mouth with both hands. Sweat constantly dripped from his forehead.

It was less like sweat and more like water, which flowed more and more, like rain.

Zheng Guoping looked at the unscientific sweating phenomenon before him and fell silent again.

He did not immediately connect Shi Gaofeng with Illusory Water Baby.

On one hand, there are many Pets in the world, and many Pets have strange characteristics and abilities, so few people can immediately connect strange phenomena with a specific Pet.

On the other hand, he never thought Shi Gaofeng would be so bold…

Although he had a guess in his mind, Zheng Guoping still thought it was unlikely. He asked again, “Let me ask you again, what did you just say?”

Shi Gaofeng looked pitifully at the Prickly Berry next to him, wanting to ask for help.

When Prickly Berry was looked at like that, its body stiffened even more.

“Ya…”

Yan Ling Dog couldn’t stand it anymore and wanted to help translate.

Qiao Sang covered its mouth with lightning speed.

“Yan Yan.”

Yan Ling Dog was quiet now, but on the other side, Big Flame Sparrow started translating again.

Wang Yao, who understood, wanted to laugh but dared not, and her expression began to twist.

The Pet understood, but the person didn’t… Zheng Guoping’s face darkened instantly as he understood, and he gritted his teeth as he called Shi Gaofeng’s name.

Shi Gaofeng and Prickly Berry both trembled.

“You two, come out here!” Zheng Guoping finished speaking and looked at Xu Yajie, who was trying to minimize his presence nearby: “And you, come out here too!”

Xu Yajie: “…”

Only Qiao Sang and Wang Yao were left in the vast training ground.

Zheng Guoping’s roars occasionally came from outside the door.

Wang Yao finally couldn’t help but burst out laughing, “Hahahahaha, how on earth did Shi Gaofeng’s brain get him into Saint Water Middle School? He can come up with such crazy ideas.”

“But Shi Gaofeng was specially recruited, only scoring over 400 points in the high school entrance exam. Thinking about it, it seems quite reasonable for him to come up with such an idea, hahahaha, I can’t, I’m going to die laughing…”

Qiao Sang: “…”

She felt insulted…

Back home in the evening.

Little Treasure Hunting Ghost eagerly put on the virtual helmet and activated it.

Qiao Sang was very pleased to see Little Treasure Hunting Ghost’s skilled movements in activating the virtual helmet, thinking she didn’t expect Little Treasure Hunting Ghost to have such strong learning ability, knowing where the switch was…

After eating the Energy Pill, Yan Ling Dog went to the courtyard to practice skill release as usual. What was different from before was that all 16 Yan Ling Dogs, including the main body, were divided equally into two groups: one group practiced Fire Fang, and the other practiced telekinesis.

Qiao Sang, after many days, picked up a book and started reading again.

She had to admit that Wang Yao’s words that morning had slightly stimulated her…

As someone who scored only 359 points in the high school entrance exam, Qiao Sang felt that she still had to work hard.

It was not impossible to get into Top Universities directly by cultural scores, instead of relying on winning against Lituan Middle School to qualify for the test assessment for Top Universities.

After all, the knowledge in Pet Beast high school and middle school is vastly different, and there are still three years until the college entrance exam. It’s just memorizing books and doing problems, Qiao Sang felt that she had no big problem.

But after only half an hour, Qiao Sang’s mind was no longer on the book.

She remembered Zheng Baolong’s mention of the National Campus Pet Beast League that morning.

With her Gold Finger and the talents of Yan Ling Dog and Little Treasure Hunting Ghost, it seemed that winning in the National Campus Pet Beast League was not impossible.

After all, those participating in this competition were high school students of similar age. A single high-level skill like Mars Rain from Yan Ling Dog would probably wipe out a large number of opponents.

If she could win, why would she study hard for three years? Wouldn’t it be better to be directly recommended in advance?

In her previous life, there were super academic gods who were admitted to Top Universities in their first year of high school. Why couldn’t she be such a person in this life?

Thinking this, Qiao Sang couldn’t continue reading her book. She came to the hall and stood for five seconds in front of Little Treasure Hunting Ghost, who was wearing a virtual helmet.

“Xun?”

Little Treasure Hunting Ghost took off the virtual helmet, looking confused.

Two hours hadn’t passed yet…

The virtual helmet could sense the outside world. If someone was within one meter, the virtual helmet’s interface would give a prompt.

“I think we can put Dark Shadow Control aside for now. Let’s learn Ghost Fire first,” Qiao Sang said.

Learning Dark Shadow Control with a virtual helmet was inherently like gambling, and it didn’t matter if she couldn’t learn it now. But Ghost Fire was a skill that absolutely had to be learned in the Beginner stage.

If they weren’t participating in the National Campus Pet Beast League, it would be fine, but to participate in this competition and achieve good results, they had to consider Little Treasure Hunting Ghost’s strength.

After all, in the National Campus Pet Beast League, those who could make it to the finals were high school students with two intermediate Pets.

If only Yan Ling Dog fought against them, it would be easy for them to be thoroughly studied in all aspects. Even if Yan Ling Dog was powerful, once it encountered an opponent with elemental advantage and tactical analysis, there was still a possibility of defeat.

To be cautious, they had to let Little Treasure Hunting Ghost develop earlier…

“Xun…”

Little Treasure Hunting Ghost was struck by lightning.

“From now on, we’ll absorb materials every day. When the ring can’t absorb anymore, we’ll rest,” Qiao Sang said.

The energy absorbed by the ring every day would reach a certain level and become saturated; it couldn’t absorb indefinitely.

“Xiao Xunbao.”

Little Treasure Hunting Ghost pointed to the virtual helmet.

Qiao Sang replied, “You have to absorb materials every day, and also practice Hypnosis and telekinesis. It’s too tiring, so don’t practice Dark Shadow Control for now. We need to combine work with rest.”

“Xun!”

“Xiao Xunbao!”

Little Treasure Hunting Ghost immediately patted its chest, indicating that it was not afraid of being tired.

For a moment, Qiao Sang seemed to see Yan Ling Dog’s shadow on Little Treasure Hunting Ghost, but then she thought, Little Treasure Hunting Ghost isn’t like that…

“You’re not addicted, are you?” Qiao Sang asked suspiciously.

“Xiao Xunbao!”

Little Treasure Hunting Ghost quickly shook its head in denial.

How could it be? It just felt that it still had a lot of free time to do other things!

Qiao Sang thought for a moment and said, “Then, after you finish absorbing materials with the ring and practicing skills, if you still have time, teach Yan Ling Dog to learn Instant Teleportation.”

No matter how well a Pet’s stamina is trained, or how fast it runs, it’s not as effective as a skill.

What if it becomes the fastest running Pet in the school?

In a battle, which skill isn’t faster than running: high-speed rotation, Electro-optic Flash, or Flame Charge?

Instant Teleportation is naturally the strongest in terms of speed alone. In combat, whether for dodging or wearing down an opponent, it is an unparalleled divine skill.

It would be best if Yan Ling Dog could learn it.

“Xun…”

Little Treasure Hunting Ghost was dumbfounded.

It不死心地又指了指头盔.

It pointed to the helmet again, unwilling to give up.

“Xiao Xunbao?”

Qiao Sang replied, “Once you learn Ghost Fire, you can continue to learn Dark Shadow Control.”

As soon as she finished speaking, Little Treasure Hunting Ghost wasted no time taking off its ring, taking out the materials needed for Ghost Fire from inside, and arranging them.

Qiao Sang: “…”

It really was addicted…
