Chapter 296: You don’t need to understand

Question: What are your thoughts on Luba suddenly learning Therapeutic Sound Wave?

Xiao Xunbao: Xun! Xiao Xunbao! Xiao Xunbao!

…

“Xun…”

Xiao Xunbao slowly lowered the paw that had been covering its ears, its shocked expression gradually turning peaceful with the song.

Luba could actually sing well…

It seemed its ears wouldn’t have to suffer anymore.

How wonderful…

Qiao Sang also had a peaceful expression.

It succeeded…

It seemed Luba could now provide Healing to Yaba.

How wonderful…

“Jianjian…”

Jian Zhanzi also showed a peaceful expression.

Thinking about it now, its Yu Beast Master probably didn’t want it anymore…

How wonderful… What the heck!

“Jianjian!”

Jian Zhanzi shook its head, trying to quickly shake off the thoughts that had just appeared in its mind.

Terrifying! Too terrifying!

How could it think that its Yu Beast Master didn’t want it anymore!

“Jian!”

A night breeze blew, and Jian Zhanzi shivered, no longer able to bear the thoughts that had just surfaced, and ran away.

“Lulu…”

Luba looked disappointed at the sight.

“Why the long face? Didn’t it succeed?” Qiao Sang came back to her senses and rubbed Luba’s head, saying.

“Lu?”

Luba looked up, its expression confused.

Did it succeed?

“Of course.” Qiao Sang smiled, “You can tell from Jian Zhanzi’s reaction, it’s just that the effect of Therapeutic Sound Wave is a bit short, and it came out a bit too quickly.”

“Lu…”

Luba was disappointed again.

It turned out there was no difference whether Therapeutic Sound Wave was used or not…

Qiao Sang glanced in the direction Jian Zhanzi had disappeared and said softly, “How could there be no difference? Although the effect of Therapeutic Sound Wave is short, at that moment it realized a problem it had never dared to admit before, and that’s enough.”

To be honest, as a Yu Beast Master’s brain domain develops and they contract with more Pets, even if they keep them all by their side, they will usually have different degrees of favoritism based on the Pet’s appearance, talent, duration of contract, or the benefits they bring.

Qiao Sang had heard of such things before.

However, it was her first time seeing a Yu Beast Master like Jian Zhanzi’s, who had neglected to meet with it for over three years.

A Yu Beast Master can have many Pets in their lifetime, but a Pet usually only has one Yu Beast Master in its life.

Although Jian Zhanzi’s Yu Beast Master could be said to have given up on Jian Zhanzi, Qiao Sang never thought of making it terminate the contract.

On one hand, Jian Zhanzi is a Beginner Pet.

And its Yu Beast Master, putting everything else aside, genuinely has a Fairy-type Pet.

To guess conservatively, even if he only contracted two Pets, his brain domain would have reached at least 20%, which means Jian Zhanzi, still in the Beginner stage, is not capable of unilaterally terminating the contract.

On the other hand, Pets that actively terminate or are terminated from contracts will not have an easy time in the future.

If a contract is forcibly terminated, the Pet itself will suffer a backlash, and both its talent and its own strength will be greatly reduced.

At that point, it would be almost impossible for another Yu Beast Master to be willing to contract with it.

Someone on the internet had calculated that the probability was comparable to winning the lottery, and the first prize kind.

Most people judge a Pet’s potential and talent by the Staff’s words and the Pet’s physique when choosing a Pet.

However, for Pets that have had their contracts terminated, there’s no need to judge; everyone clearly knows their potential will definitely be poor in the future.

Even if some Yu Beast Masters are willing to contract with them, it’s usually due to a lack of funds.

Following such Yu Beast Masters, let alone evolution, even getting enough to eat can be a serious problem.

Pets with terminated contracts usually have two outcomes.

Either they wander the streets and are later taken by the patrol department to a Pet base to be raised, likely spending the rest of their lives there if nothing unexpected happens.

Or they are released into a secret realm by the patrol department.

Pets that have grown up with humans since hatching find it very difficult to adapt to the law of the jungle environment of a secret realm; even finding a comfortable and stable place to sleep might be a luxury.

Although Jian Zhanzi’s Yu Beast Master might have given up on it now, at least Jian Zhanzi’s training, food, drink, and living expenses are guaranteed.

All Qiao Sang could do was help Jian Zhanzi recognize reality sooner and stop harboring fantasies about its Yu Beast Master every day.

Although reality is cruel, once recognized, it becomes less painful over time.

Once Jian Zhanzi overcomes its longing for its Yu Beast Master and starts considering its own well-being, it will be able to live a more relaxed and comfortable life in the future.

“Xun?”

At this moment, Xiao Xunbao let out a cry, indicating it didn’t understand.

Wouldn’t that be very painful?

Luba looked up, asking with its eyes as well.

Under the moonlight, Qiao Sang, with Xiao Xunbao on her head and Luba in her arms, walked out of the Libo Training Hall.

Only a gentle voice echoed under the warm streetlights:

“You don’t need to understand; you won’t encounter this. We’re going home now; Yaba is probably very eager to come out.”

“Xun~”

“Lu…”

…

Three days later.

“Luba, use Healing Light on Yaba.”

“Lu.” Luba didn’t even turn its head.

Impossible.

“How’s your Therapeutic Sound Wave coming along? Use it once, let me see.”

“Lu~ Lulu Lulu~ Lulu Lu~ Lu Lu~”

“Luba, use Healing Light on Yaba.”

“Lulu.” Luba nodded.

“Ya…”

Under the Healing Light, Yaba showed a comfortable expression.

“Yaba, we’re continuing our training now.”

“Ya!”

“Lu…”

Watching her Yu Beast Master and Yaba leave, Luba had an expression of doubting life.

How did it end up providing Healing to Yaba again?!

It had been three days!

Yaba trained at school, and then trained again when it came back. When would it ever surpass it?!

“Lu!”

Thinking of this, Luba buried its head and continued training.

No! Yaba went to train, so it had to seize the time too!

Qiao Sang led Yaba to an open space in another part of the courtyard and said, “Yaba, when you train in combat with Xiao Xunbao, don’t use Teleportation or Mars Rain. Try to rely more on movement to dodge attacks, rather than clashing with skills.”

Ever since seeing the ten-clawed Multi-Claw Crab playing shuttlecock at the sports meeting, Qiao Sang had wanted to train Yaba’s coordination.

However, training the coordination of fire-type skills had no effect on controlling clones over extremely long distances.

To enhance control over clones, besides proficiency and mental strength, the training needed to be on body and energy control.

Combat training has a certain improving effect on these two aspects of control.

Unfortunately, Yaba’s battles were all instant kills, which couldn’t achieve the effect of training control.

No choice but to weaken its strength, and have Yaba not use Teleportation or Mars Rain.

Body coordination is the body’s ability to correctly change its form in various sudden situations.

Good coordination requires the cooperation of all aspects of the body.

Muscles and joints all need to be exercised.

If Yaba used Teleportation, these would naturally not be trained.

As for Mars Rain, if it used it, good heavens, what training would there be? It could just go find Luba for Healing.

“Ya!”

Yaba listened to its Yu Beast Master’s words and nodded seriously.

“Xiao Xunbao, you need to initiate more attacks, don’t always just dodge.” Qiao Sang turned to Xiao Xunbao and said.

“Xun!”

Xiao Xunbao patted its chest with its gold-gloved paw, indicating “no problem at all.”

PS: These past two days, playing really made me feel like a废人… leading to unstable update times. It’ll be better in a couple of days when I get home… Hmm, thank you to everyone who’s still following…
