Beast Taming: Starting From Zero

Chapter 737: Is this reasonable?

Beast Taming Department, Class 1.

A gaunt middle-aged man was lecturing on the podium:

“Some Pets have multiple attributes, but they all have a primary and a secondary attribute. Generally speaking, it is much more difficult for a Pet to learn skills related to its secondary attribute than its primary attribute.”

“Sometimes, blindly letting a Pet learn powerful skills or constantly letting a Pet learn new skills is not the right choice for someone who wants to achieve something as a Professional Beast Tamer.”

“When a skill is trained and utilized to its extreme, or when two skills of different attributes are combined, it is far better than investing effort in learning powerful skills or constantly letting a Pet learn new skills.”

“A Pet’s energy is limited, and your most golden age is now.”

“I hope you can distinguish between the primary and secondary importance of skills going forward, discard some useless skills, and spend your time on skills that can easily form combination skills for your Pet.”

As he spoke, he formed a hand seal.

A purple star array lit up.

Soon, a Pet about twenty centimeters in size, mostly green, with short limbs, ears about half the size of its face, and covered in sharp thorns, appeared on the podium.

The middle-aged man introduced, “The skill proficiency of my Big-Eared Thorn Grass Needle is at the late minor accomplishment stage.”

As he spoke, he looked at Big-Eared Thorn and said, “Show us.”

“Big Ear!”

Big-Eared Thorn let out a cry.

Immediately after, a dozen extremely sharp green needle-like objects appeared out of thin air in front of it.

“Whoosh whoosh whoosh!”

The grass needles shot out fiercely.

All the students in the class looked in the direction of the grass needles.

When the grass needles were about a meter away from the back wall of the tiered classroom, they stopped and fell to the ground, not continuing to attack forward.

“This is the current range limit for Big-Eared Thorn to use Grass Needle,” the middle-aged man said, then nodded to Big-Eared Thorn.

“Big Ear!”

Big-Eared Thorn understood its Yu Beast Master’s meaning.

It let out a cry, and a dozen sharp green needle-like objects once again appeared out of thin air in front of it.

The needle-like objects shot out.

Big-Eared Thorn puffed out its cheeks and blew out a wild gust of wind.

The wind speed instantly caught up with the green needle-like objects.

“Bang bang bang!”

The grass needles accelerated, then deeply embedded themselves into the back wall of the tiered classroom.

“The Grass Needle at the late minor accomplishment stage could only be launched to that previous distance, but with the addition of the Blow skill, both the launch speed and distance have significantly increased,” the middle-aged man said, waving his hand to recall Big-Eared Thorn into his yu beast codex. “This is a combination skill.”

“Of course, this is just the most ordinary and basic. Our next class will be outdoors, and I hope everyone can go up and demonstrate their own combination skills then.”

During the break, a senior from the maintenance department walked into the classroom and skillfully had her accompanying Pet repair the dozen needle holes on the wall.

Qiao Sang sat at her desk, holding a pen and thinking about combination skills while looking at her notebook.

She had researched combination skills when she participated in the National Campus Pet Beast League.

Ya Bao had clones, and the proficiency of its various skills increased very quickly. As long as any skill’s proficiency reached a certain level, combining them was not difficult.

But not difficult doesn’t mean suitable.

At that time, she simply and crudely had Ya Bao use clones with various skills, or had it use psychic power to control the direction of offensive skills, much like Counterattack Barrier 2.0.

Now that she thought about it, with Ya Bao and the others having so many more skills now, there might be a more suitable combination method.

Qiao Sang pondered. Ya Bao’s attack power was already very strong, and the proficiency of its various skills also increased very quickly. Currently, it seemed there was no need to rely on combination skills to increase the power of its skills.

Xiao Xunbao’s Dark Shadow, when trained to a later stage, could produce a hundredfold illusion.

If other skills could be used through the Dark Shadow, then the attack power should increase exponentially.

Especially Dark Shadow combined with Dark Shadow Control.

In fact, the power of Dark Shadow Control is highly related to the Pet’s size.

The larger the body, the larger the shadow.

Whether in 2D or 3D mode, the larger the Pet’s body, the greater the range and area of application for Dark Shadow Control, and the stronger the control.

Xiao Xunbao hasn’t really exposed this flaw when using this move so far, mainly because it can teleport, moving directly to a location close to the target or the target’s shadow.

However, Xiao Xunbao needs to practice Space Confinement recently, and the proficiency of Dark Shadow is still too low. It definitely won’t reach a level where it can show off before tomorrow’s class…

Just as she was thinking, Dorothy’s voice sounded beside her:

“Now that those seniors aren’t challenging you anymore, aren’t you planning to challenge those ranked above you?”

“Who said no one is challenging me? There’s still one,” Qiao Sang said, taking out her phone and operating it.

Then she saw that the challenge application page, which originally had one person, was now blank.

Qiao Sang: “…”

“Let’s challenge them after a while,” Qiao Sang said, putting down her phone as if nothing had happened.

She had too many things to do during this period, and challenging people on the top 100 list, besides a higher ranking, only allowed her to exchange for a more luxurious dormitory, with no other substantial benefits.

She had already rented a villa outside and would be returning to Blue Star after this semester, so changing dorms seemed unnecessary.

Dorothy heard this and showed a hesitant expression.

She really wanted to see Qiao Sang thrashing the seniors immediately, but unfortunately, the other party was not in a hurry at all.

If others had this strength, they would have long gone to challenge the top three on the top 100 list to increase their academic credits, but Qiao Sang seemed to have no such idea.

At this moment, Dorothy suddenly remembered that the other party was an Interstellar Exchange Student, so academic credits were indeed not important.

Her face suddenly turned ugly, and she thought to herself that the admissions office definitely had spies on Blue Star…

The bell for the last class of the afternoon rang.

The teacher dismissed class on time.

Qiao Sang looked in the direction of the floating black flower beside her.

Xiao Xunbao, holding the black flower in its paw, appeared. Its eyes glowed blue, and it was about to perform Space Movement.

“Ya Ya!”

Just then, Ya Bao seemed to smell something pleasant, sniffed its nose, and showed an excited expression.

“Wait,” Qiao Sang said when she saw this.

“Xiao Xunbao…” The blue light in Xiao Xunbao’s eyes faded.

“Let’s go see what delicious food it is,” Qiao Sang said, smiling at Ya Bao.

Many Pet-related restaurants had opened in Royal Union Dun. Every time they walked around campus, Ya Bao and the others would always be attracted by some kind of delicacy. Qiao Sang always bought whatever they wanted to eat.

After all, the most affluent period was not going to last much longer.

“Ya Ya!”

Ya Bao heard this, immediately wagged its tail, and showed a happy expression.

Then it jumped down from its Yu Beast Master’s lap and walked ahead, leading the way.

Qiao Sang followed behind Ya Bao and walked out of the classroom, then took the elevator down.

Hmm? Why isn’t it in the direction of the food street… After walking for about five minutes, a doubt flashed through Qiao Sang’s mind.

At this moment, Ya Bao’s eyes lit up, and the speed at which it led the way suddenly increased significantly.

Soon, it stopped under a towering tree.

Under the tree, an old man with white hair and a black soft hat was feeding something to a bird-type Pet that was entirely red with a black fluffy feathered tail.

“Ya Ya!”

Ya Bao cried out excitedly, indicating that the item smelled wonderful.

This person looks familiar, as if I’ve seen him somewhere… red Energy Pill… Qiao Sang was first stunned when she saw the old man’s appearance, but she quickly moved her gaze down and was surprised to see the item in his hand.

She had seen many Energy Pills on the market and specially customized ones. Regardless of what attribute of Pet they were for, they were almost always brown or black. This was the first time she had seen a red Energy Pill.

“Hello, may I ask where you bought this?” Qiao Sang stepped forward and asked.

Ya Bao wagged its tail, looking expectant.

The old man looked up at Qiao Sang and showed a kind smile: “This isn’t bought, I made it myself.”

As he spoke, he handed the Energy Pill in his hand to Ya Bao:

“If you want to eat it, try it.”

Despite its strong desire, Ya Bao didn’t eat it immediately, but looked at its Yu Beast Master.

Qiao Sang nodded.

“Ya Ya!”

Only then did Ya Bao excitedly lower its head and take a bite.

Whether it was Qiao Sang’s imagination or not, she felt that after Ya Bao ate this Energy Pill, the flame wings on both sides of its body suddenly boiled and expanded a little.

“Do you like it?” the old man asked.

“Ya Ya!”

Ya Bao’s eyes were extremely bright, and it wagged its tail wildly.

I like it!

“Xiao Xunbao!”

Seeing that Big Brother Ya Bao seemed to like it very much, Xiao Xunbao couldn’t help but appear and cried out, indicating that it also wanted to try it.

The old man seemed to understand the meaning in Xiao Xunbao’s words and said with a smile: “This kind of Energy Pill is only suitable for fire-type Pets. If you want to eat it, I can make another one.”

Qiao Sang suddenly thought of something and asked, “How many points does this cost?”

The old man’s face twitched slightly, but he quickly managed his expression and said:

“No points needed, but I might not have much time usually. You can come find me, and I’ll teach you how to make it.”

This… Qiao Sang hesitated a bit.

Making Energy Pills was clearly a big project that would take a lot of time…

Then she thought of something else and asked, “Then how many points does it cost to teach me how to make Energy Pills?”

The corner of the old man’s mouth twitched, and he said:

“No points needed either.”

What a good person… Qiao Sang sighed inwardly.

Who said that everything at Yu Liandun University required points?

“Ya Ya!”

Ya Bao wagged its tail, looking at its Yu Beast Master with an expectant expression.

Seeing Ya Bao’s expectant expression, Qiao Sang no longer hesitated and asked, “May I ask how I should address you?”

The old man smiled, “Linus Berg.”

Holy cow, I remember now… Isn’t this the dean of the Nurturing Institute…? Qiao Sang showed a stunned expression.

At the welcome new student hall, among the nine big shots sitting on the stage, this person was one of them!

He wants to teach me how to make Energy Pills?

And it doesn’t require points?

Is this reasonable?

Qiao Sang was momentarily bewildered.

Could it be that she was very appealing to this big shot?

Or did he see her extraordinary talent for becoming a Trainer?
