Chapter 666: Get beaten

Er’ma squeezed Qiao Sang’s arm, feeling its hardness, and said, “Not bad, this hardness means you can start training.”

Saying that, she looked at the Punching Child beside her: “Start with 20 kilograms of force for now.”

“Punching Child,” the Punching Child called out, then turned and picked up a pair of red boxing gloves to put on.

What is it going to do… Qiao Sang felt an inexplicable bad premonition upon seeing this.

The next second, her premonition came true.

Er’ma said, “Don’t be afraid, this force won’t hurt you.”

Qiao Sang: “…”

“Are you ready?” Er’ma asked.

Qiao Sang was silent for two seconds, then got into a horse stance: “I’m ready.”

Er’ma nodded to the Punching Child.

The next second, the Punching Child swung its fists and slammed into her.

Qiao Sang’s body swayed slightly, with only one thought in her mind:

It really doesn’t seem to hurt…

Suddenly, she remembered something and reminded, “Don’t hit my face.”

“Punching Child,” the Punching Child called out, indicating it understood.

It didn’t stop, punching Qiao Sang like a sandbag, one punch after another.

Initially, Qiao Sang couldn’t quite withstand the force and stood unsteadily, but after being continuously hit for nearly ten minutes, she was able to remain as still as a mountain.

That is, she could remain motionless while being beaten.

Er’ma, standing nearby, did not forget her duty as a coach:

“To strengthen your defense, you must first train your skin, then your tendons, and finally your human bones. What you need to do now is to enhance your impact resistance.”

“Although your skin is hard now, the impact force you receive is real. Once you adapt to the force, you won’t need to apply the Stinky Skunk’s venom. When your own skin adapts, you can continue to apply the venom to increase the impact force training.”

“Once you can withstand 200 kilograms of punching force, the first round of lessons will be considered complete.”

At this point, her face was beaming with smiles: “This round of lessons will take at least 30 sessions to see results. Why don’t you get a membership card? You’ll get a 20% discount if you pay for this round of lessons all at once then.”

Qiao Sang said without hesitation, “Okay, then I’ll get a card.”

Er’ma’s smile deepened upon hearing this.

At this moment, she thought of the Steel Guardian Falcon beside her and said,

“It’s best if the Steel Guardian Falcon trains with you too.”

You just said that… Qiao Sang asked curiously, “Will it also train in the same way as me?”

Steel Treasure looked at the human called Coach Er’ma.

Er’ma shook her head: “Of course not. As a Steel-type Intermediate Pet, the Steel Guardian Falcon certainly can’t use your method.”

“It’s a Bond Evolution, so your pain is linked during battle. You need to let it battle opponents stronger than itself and get a little injured. You’ll feel the damage, and the more you feel it, your defense will naturally improve.”

Qiao Sang: “…”

How could I not know this!

Qiao Sang said, unwilling to give up, “Are there any other training methods?”

Er’ma said seriously, “This is the fastest way to enhance defense. You should know that Yu Beast Masters with Bond Evolution Pets are always the most resilient among Yu Beast Masters of the same level, precisely because of this reason.”

Most resilient… Qiao Sang fell into contemplation.

Er’ma continued:

“You can also take potions that strengthen bone density, plus add some strengthening potions to your bathwater every day. Trust me, your defensive ability will definitely improve at an astonishing speed.”

“If you train like this and use potions every day, I think the first round of lessons can be completed in just 15 sessions.”

15 sessions, if she came every day, that would be 15 days… Qiao Sang pondered while enduring the Punching Child’s punches.

She had to admit, she was tempted.

Although there wasn’t anything particularly urgent to do right now, time was precious, and saving even a little was good. She could do many things with the extra time…

Steel Treasure itself had little combat experience, and during combat training, it could also release skills to quickly increase its proficiency. Moreover, as long as she could endure it, she could strengthen her own defense, killing two birds with one stone.

If she really suffered internal injuries, it didn’t matter; she had Lu Bao anyway…

Qiao Sang gritted her teeth: “I understand. We’ll do as you say.”

Steel Treasure glanced at its Yu Beast Master, its eyes seeming to say: You still have to endure the damage.

Qiao Sang understood Steel Treasure’s meaning. She silently averted her gaze, feeling a bit embarrassed.

Er’ma smiled and said, “Then let my Stinky Skunk battle it.”

After speaking, she was about to call the Stinky Skunk to begin.

Qiao Sang refused: “No need, let my Ghost Ring Spirit do it.”

Since it was all combat training anyway, she might as well let Xiao Xunbao do it. With her nearby, she could properly supervise Xiao Xunbao. Lately, it had been too lazy, especially in contrast to Lu Bao, as it was obsessed with the computer.

So it’s called Ghost Ring Spirit… Er’ma glanced at the Ghost-type Pet whose species name she couldn’t recall earlier and said,

“But the Steel Guardian Falcon must battle a Pet stronger than itself.”

“Xiao Xunbao?!”

As soon as this was said, Xiao Xunbao was displeased.

It widened its eyes, floated in front of Er’ma, and gestured angrily.

Open your eyes and see! It’s stronger than the fourth one!

Er’ma didn’t understand Xiao Xunbao’s meaning. She only knew that the Ghost-type Pet called Ghost Ring Spirit in front of her was angry, and she couldn’t help but cautiously take a step back.

Qiao Sang coughed:

“Ghost Ring Spirit is a High-level Pet.”

High-level Pet? Er’ma looked at the gray Pet in front of her in great surprise.

Such a small High-level Pet?

“Xiao Xunbao!”

Xiao Xunbao crossed its arms, turned its head to the side, and snorted coldly.

“I’m sorry,” Er’ma apologized, “I didn’t know it was a High-level Pet.”

“It’s fine, it’s a Pet from Blue Star, so it’s normal that you don’t know,” Qiao Sang said with a smile.

Er’ma froze.

A Pet from Blue Star?

Blue Star?!

“Punching Child.”

Just as Er’ma was in a daze, the Punching Child lowered its fists and stopped punching.

Er’ma then came back to her senses, and suddenly remembering something, she checked the time and said,

“The Harden effect of the venom is about to wear off. You can take a break first, and then we’ll continue with the previous steps.”

“Okay,” Qiao Sang said while moving her arms. She found that after her skin was no longer hard, it didn’t hurt much, but there was still that sore feeling of having been beaten.

As she moved, she remembered Steel Treasure.

“You two start,” Qiao Sang said, then looked at Xiao Xunbao:

“Xiao Xunbao, just keep attacking with Chop.”

Among Xiao Xunbao’s offensive skills, aside from the High-level skill Mind Headbutt, Chop had the lowest proficiency. Using this move, Steel Treasure should be able to hold on for a while.

“Xiao Xunbao.”

Xiao Xunbao nodded, instantly forgetting what had just happened, floated to the side, and called out, indicating it was ready to start.

“Steel Guard.”

Steel Treasure stood opposite Xiao Xunbao.

The next second, Xiao Xunbao raised its paw, condensed a substantial white energy, and chopped it onto Steel Treasure’s body.

Steel Treasure did not dodge.

It knew the purpose of this training.

Qiao Sang internally thought, “Holy crap, that hurts,” and managed to suppress her expression without crying out.

“Steel Treasure, this is combat training, you can still move around,” Qiao Sang said after the pain subsided.

There was a difference between taking hits in combat and standing still to take hits.

The former could strengthen other aspects in addition to defense, while the latter was purely about enduring, getting used to the pain, and strengthening defense.

“Steel Guard.”

Steel Treasure instantly understood its Yu Beast Master’s meaning. At the same time, its body turned a bright iron-gray, blocking most of Xiao Xunbao’s Chop attack force.

Qiao Sang felt a surge of relief from the side.

At this moment, Er’ma, who was nearby, looked over with a shocked expression:

“How did your Ghost-type Pet learn Fighting-type skills?”

Qiao Sang said, “It learned by chopping tiles.”

Is it that simple?!

But isn’t it a Ghost-type Pet?

Er’ma was a bit bewildered.

Although the Yu Beast Masters who came here were all high-class individuals and their Pets were not bad, she had never seen a Ghost-type Pet that could learn Fighting-type skills…

A Ghost-type Pet from Blue Star, and it can use Chop…

The newest form of Little Steel Falcon…

At this moment, Er’ma suddenly realized that the young girl in front of her might also be one of the more special ones within the high-class circle.

An hour later, the training ended.

During this time, Qiao Sang went through the process of applying venom and being beaten three times.

Er’ma handed over a delicate tote bag:

“Inside are seven bottles of fitness supplements and seven bottles of strengthening potions. The fitness potions are for consumption, and the strengthening potions are for bathing. They are one bottle per day each. Take them.”

Qiao Sang asked:

“How much?”

Er’ma smiled and said, “You’ve booked my class, and these costs are already included in the course fee. You just need to book my class again when you come next time.”

No wonder it was the second most expensive fee… Qiao Sang took the bag: “I understand.”
