Beast Taming: Starting From Zero
Chapter 218: Charge Bug
The Teacher was stunned for a long time when she heard this, only then remembering that there was such a thing as energy replenishment.
It was really because the abnormal freshman in front of her had battled for nearly 20 matches without replenishing, so she almost forgot this process…
Soon, a School Doctor in a white coat walked over from outside the field.
On his shoulder was a Pet that was mostly rust-colored, with an orange, yellow-edged, helmet-like object on its head, a forward-pointing, serrated mouth, and also wearing a white coat—an Energy Charging Bug.
The moment Qiao Sang saw the Energy Charging Bug in the white coat, she was stunned, not expecting the School Doctor’s Pet to actually be an Energy Charging Bug…
Most people who have been to a Secret Realm, or those who haven’t but have thoroughly researched Secret Realms, are not unfamiliar with this Pet.
The Energy Charging Bug, a Bug-type Pet, is a very peculiar type of Pet in the Yuhua region.
It’s not that it’s rare, but rather its characteristic is memorable, and combined with its inability to evolve, both factors make it a very unique existence.
The Energy Charging Bug possesses the Energy Charging characteristic, allowing it to store a large amount of energy and transfer it to other Pets.
Most people going to a Secret Realm will find a Yu Beast Master with a healing-type skill Pet to team up with before setting off.
Yu Beast Masters with Energy Charging Bugs are quite sought after among team members, as Energy Charging Bugs can be used as an automatically replenishing energy recovery liquid.
Although the market demand for Energy Charging Bugs is very high, generally speaking, Yu Beast Masters who want to achieve even a little success in Yu Beast mastery will not contract it, the fundamental reason being that the Energy Charging Bug cannot evolve.
“Come here,” the School Doctor beckoned to Little Treasure Hunting Ghost.
“Xun!”
Little Treasure Hunting Ghost floated over, curiously staring at the Energy Charging Bug in the white coat.
This was the first time it had seen a Pet wearing clothes outside of television…
“Go,” the School Doctor turned and nodded to the Energy Charging Bug.
“Chong Chong.”
The Energy Charging Bug nodded, then suddenly jumped forcefully towards Little Treasure Hunting Ghost.
“Xiao Xunbao!”
Little Treasure Hunting Ghost was startled and instinctively dodged sideways.
“Bang!”
The Energy Charging Bug fell to the ground with the momentum.
School Doctor: “…”
“Sorry, I didn’t explain it clearly to it beforehand,” Qiao Sang scratched her head and said.
“…It’s fine, most Pets would dodge if they were jumped on like that without knowing,” the School Doctor expressed understanding.
He had to understand! The whole school was watching!
“Xiao Xunbao, wait, don’t dodge, it’s a doctor, it’s here to replenish your energy,” Qiao Sang instructed Little Treasure Hunting Ghost.
Doctor?!
The Energy Charging Bug, which had just climbed up, perked up and quickly shook its white coat, instantly forgetting the pain it had just felt.
“Xun…”
Little Treasure Hunting Ghost scratched its head awkwardly.
So it was a doctor…
After clarifying, Little Treasure Hunting Ghost actively picked up the Energy Charging Bug with its claws and placed it on its head.
“Xiao Xunbao!”
You just charge!
The Energy Charging Bug was momentarily stunned but quickly carried out its duty.
“Chong Chong!”
A strong blue light emanated from the Energy Charging Bug’s entire body, and then Little Treasure Hunting Ghost, which was close to it, was also enveloped in the blue light.
Looking at the ball of blue light on the field, the older students collectively breathed a sigh of relief.
“I knew it, how could she stop after only winning against one person?”
“You didn’t say that just now.”
“What did I say just now? I forgot.”
“…”
“Allow me to correct you, she has already won against 18 people, don’t treat freshmen like they’re not human.”
“…”
After replenishing its energy, Little Treasure Hunting Ghost returned to the battle zone.
As the battle began, Xia Chengqing snapped her fingers, and the Short-Eared Mouse immediately dug a hole in the ground and burrowed in.
Clearly, snapping her fingers was the signal to Dig.
Qiao Sang looked at the senior student’s finger-snapping action and the Short-Eared Mouse’s cooperation, deep in thought.
She had to admit, this move gave her great inspiration.
Imagine, in the future, when she’s battling someone in a major competition.
Her opponent yells: “Dig a hole!”
While she calmly smiles, extends her hand, and snaps her fingers, and Mars Rain falls from the sky.
The aura! The scene!
Just thinking about it made her excited.
Not bad, it seems this move can be used by her; she’ll go back and agree on this signal with Ya Bao…
“Xiao Xunbao, pay attention to your surroundings.” The thought was fleeting; Qiao Sang didn’t forget that she was currently in a battle.
Dig is a mid-tier skill for Ground-type Pets, also known as Burrowing.
The Pet will first burrow into the ground and then unexpectedly break out of the earth to attack the opponent. Both the hit rate and attack power are very high, and it is often used as a finishing move among low to mid-level Ground-type Pets.
“Xun!”
Little Treasure Hunting Ghost nodded solemnly.
The moment it finished nodding, the Short-Eared Mouse suddenly sprang out of the dirt, charging with stored power to ram into it.
“Xun!”
Little Treasure Hunting Ghost was startled and instinctively used Teleportation to dodge.
Then its eyes quickly glowed blue as it looked at the Short-Eared Mouse, which hadn’t fully landed yet.
The Short-Eared Mouse was thus frozen in mid-air.
The next second, the 360-degree rotation scene reappeared before everyone.
“Short-Eared!!!”
The Short-Eared Mouse’s mournful cry echoed throughout the arena.
The entire venue was silent.
If the previous dozen matches, where Treasure Hunting Ghost used Teleportation while invisible, hadn’t led them to guess it was a Superpower System, then now, under everyone’s watchful eyes, Treasure Hunting Ghost not only used Teleportation but also a Psychic-like move, and they dared not guess in that direction.
Who the hell would dare to imagine a Pet with both Ghost-type and Superpower System, two rare attributes, appearing right beside them!
“…I didn’t expect the Ghost-type to have this move; it looks quite similar to Teleportation.”
“Yeah…”
“And that Dark Shadow Control, it seems it can be used without a shadow too…”
“Yeah, and its eyes turn blue.”
“…”
On the other side, Principal Wang Weidou looked at the Treasure Hunting Ghost on the field, his mind in a daze, unconsciously muttering: “Superpower System…Superpower…Superpower…”
Liu Yao turned his head, not wanting to see his foolish expression.
…
“Short-Eared Mouse has lost its combat ability, Qiao Sang wins!”
Although most people had a premonition that Xia Chengqing would lose after seeing the last scene, they still felt somewhat incredible when the result was actually announced.
Why couldn’t the Intermediate Pet Short-Eared Mouse break free from the Beginner Pet Treasure Hunting Ghost’s control!
It was just too outrageous!
Whether from an energy or physical standpoint, this was unscientific, unless…
The skill proficiency was terrifyingly high.
“How high do you think Treasure Hunting Ghost’s Psychic… Dark Shadow Control proficiency is?”
“It’s already abnormal that Treasure Hunting Ghost can learn Dark Shadow Control, and you’re still asking about proficiency?”
“Not the previous Dark Shadow Control, but the ‘Dark Shadow Control’ in the last match where its eyes glowed blue.”
“…That move, I’m not sure, but being able to control a Pet one level higher than itself, it’s highly probable it has reached the Grandmaster level.”
Although Treasure Hunting Ghost’s performance shocked many, the allure of joining the School Team was simply too great, and the older students continued to rush up, one after another, sacrificing themselves.
Unlike battles with freshmen, after each battle with an older student, Little Treasure Hunting Ghost had to replenish its energy.
After all, the energy consumed to control an Intermediate Pet was not comparable to controlling a Beginner Pet.
After consecutively battling 49 matches, a male student, approximately 1.85 meters tall, with a distinct jawline and black hair covering half his forehead, walked up with his hands in his pockets.
“Senior Year (9) Class, Xue Chuhua.”
