Beast Taming: Starting From Zero
Chapter 826: Rebirth Project (two in one)
Qiao Sang stepped inside, scanning the layout of the training room.
What met her eyes was a single-seater sofa, operating equipment, a huge fireproof transparent screen, and a large door.
Through the transparent screen, she could clearly see a mess on the other side, with the ground charred black, as if a raging inferno had just been extinguished.
The Mechanical-type Pet came to the operating equipment and pressed a red button, and the large door next to the transparent screen slowly opened.
Instantly, a wave of heat could be distinctly felt gushing out from the door.
“You can send your Pet in now,” the Mechanical-type Pet said to Qiao Sang, its mouth not moving, the sound coming from its abdomen.
Qiao Sang looked at Ya: “Go on.”
“Ya!”
Ya showed an excited expression, turned, and walked with firm steps towards the other side of the door.
Soon, the door closed.
“Ya Ya…”
The training room was pitch black, and Ya subconsciously looked in the direction she had come from, wanting to find her Yu Beast Master’s figure.
From the outside, one could see inside, but from the inside, one could not see outside.
Ya’s eyes gradually changed from a slight confusion to determination, her four limbs exerted a little force, and her flaming wings suddenly expanded by a circle, preparing for the flames to strike at any moment.
Qiao Sang sat down on the single-seater sofa.
The Mechanical-type Pet pointed to the microphone fixed on the console in front.
At the same time, a sound came from its abdomen: “You can communicate with the Pet training inside through this.”
“I understand,” Qiao Sang said, leaning slightly forward, aiming at the microphone, and said, “Hello, Ya, can you hear me?”
“Ya Ya!”
Ya on the other side of the transparent screen, who had just become alert, immediately relaxed, showing a surprised expression, and let out a cry, indicating she heard her.
“That’s good,” Qiao Sang looked at Ya on the other side of the transparent screen, and reminded her again, “Remember not to overdo it, come out if you can’t bear it.”
“Ya Ya!”
Without her Yu Beast Master in front of her, Ya could only imagine her Yu Beast Master speaking through her voice. She imagined Qiao Sang’s worried expression and did not say that she would not be able to bear it, but instead let out a cry, indicating that she would.
Hearing this, Qiao Sang felt relieved and nodded to the Mechanical-type Pet: “Start.”
The Mechanical-type Pet pressed a few buttons on the operating interface.
Flames immediately shot up from the ground on the other side of the transparent screen, illuminating everything inside.
Ya’s figure was instantly swallowed by the firelight.
“Xiao Xunbao…” Xiao Xunbao unconsciously materialized, looking at the other side of the transparent screen with a grimace, showing an expression of “Oh… how cruel.”
“Ice Ai.”
Xiao Xunbao, who had half her head exposed, completely jumped out of the backpack, passed over Qiao Sang’s head, and landed on her lap, seriously watching the scene on the other side of the transparent screen.
“Steel Slash…”
Steel Treasure looked at Ya on the other side of the transparent screen, unconsciously showing an expression of admiration.
Qiao Sang looked at the Raging Flames inside, her expression beginning to worry.
This training room was still too small. If it were large enough, Ya could at least take off her miniature shrinking bracelet and return to her original size, which would allow her to clearly see Ya’s condition.
Moreover, returning to her original size meant she could exert her full strength and better resist the flames.
As thoughts flickered, the Mechanical-type Pet pressed a few more times on the operating interface.
As it pressed the confirmation button, a “clanking” sound suddenly emanated from around them.
The surrounding walls extended, including the transparent screen and the large door.
The height of the training room extended and increased at a visible speed.
This, this… Qiao Sang could hardly control her expression, showing obvious shock and bewilderment.
She had just thought the training room was too small, and now it had become larger?
Then she thought of something, suddenly realized, and showed an enlightened expression.
That’s right, this Fire-type Pet training hall looked tens of meters high from the outside, but it only had three floors inside.
If she remembered correctly, Royal Union Dun’s School of Architecture was one of the nine major academies, and it seemed not surprising to build structures that could extend and expand at any time…
No wonder coming here required an appointment. If every training room was as small as before, it should be able to accommodate more Pets for training…
“Ya, enlarge!” Qiao Sang leaned closer to the microphone, speaking seriously.
“Ya!”
Her Yu Beast Master’s voice entered her ears, and Ya’s body slowly enlarged.
At the same time, the Mechanical-type Pet pushed a certain part of the console upwards, and the flames in the training room suddenly shot up fiercely.
Ya had already returned to her original size, and the flames just barely engulfed her lower half.
Qiao Sang clearly saw Ya’s excited expression, as if her entire body was not being roasted by fire at all.
Goodness, she’s not afraid of fire at all. How does it feel like she has already awakened the Firestarter characteristic… Qiao Sang’s consciousness entered the yu beast codex, and after seeing that Ya’s page did not have an additional characteristic, she silently exited and returned to reality.
Well, she had overthought it.
That’s right, this kind of training method at most only increases the chance of Ya awakening the Firestarter characteristic during evolution. How could it be immediately activated in the first training session…
“Ya Ya!”
At this moment, Ya cried out, indicating that she wanted more fire.
Qiao Sang was silent for a second: “More fire.”
As the Mechanical-type Pet was about to operate, Qiao Sang regretted it:
“Wait.”
The Mechanical-type Pet looked over.
“Can the temperature of the fire be controlled to increase?” Qiao Sang asked.
“Yes,” the Mechanical-type Pet replied from its abdomen.
“Then increase the fire temperature,” Qiao Sang said after confirming that Ya’s condition was not forced.
Normal temperature flames seemed to be like fire-type skills cast by low- and mid-level Pets, unable to cause damage to Ya. Only by increasing the fire temperature, making the fire-type energy more fierce, could Ya’s body react.
The Mechanical-type Pet pressed twice on the controller.
The flames inside the transparent screen gradually transformed from their original deep red to orange-red, then became pure orange, before finally stabilizing.
“Ya Ya…”
Ya’s expression was no longer excited, slowly becoming serious.
Time passed bit by bit, and Ya remained standing, her expression serious throughout.
“Ya Ya!”
Suddenly, she cried out, indicating that she wanted more.
“Xiao Xunbao…”
Xiao Xunbao immediately put her two clenched paws in front of her mouth, showing an expression of admiration.
Even through the fireproof device, she could feel the terror of the flames inside.
She didn’t expect Brother Ya to even ask for more intense flames.
Indeed, it was right for her to avoid Brother Ya and challenge Ice Ai some time ago…
“More…” When Qiao Sang said this, her solemnity was mixed with worry.
The Mechanical-type Pet operated again.
The flames in the training room shook violently for a moment, instantly changing from pure orange to golden orange, then gradually transforming into golden yellow, then golden white, and finally pure white…
“Ya Ya!”
The moment the flames turned pure white, Ya couldn’t help but let out a scream.
Qiao Sang’s heart suddenly contracted, her body leaning forward, she aimed at the microphone and repeated again: “Come out if you can’t bear it.”
“Xun!”
Xiao Xunbao snatched the microphone, cried out, indicating that in her heart, Brother Ya, you are the most powerful! Hold on! An hour isn’t up yet!
Qiao Sang silently glanced at her.
“Xiao Xunbao!”
Xiao Xunbao felt her Yu Beast Master’s gaze, her body stiffened, and she quickly added a sentence.
But don’t force yourself!
“Ya Ya…”
Ya realized that her Yu Beast Master and Xiao Xunbao were constantly observing her, bit her teeth, and did not let herself scream again.
The pure white flames were scorching her body.
It made her feel some of the pain she had felt when she first rushed into the volcano.
It was just that at that time, her internal energy was boiling, and at the moment of evolution, the pain completely receded, and she happened to fly out of the volcano, so she didn’t suffer any harm.
But this time, without the protective mechanism of evolution, the super-high temperature flames continued to scorch her, and the pain was exceptionally obvious.
“Ya Ya…”
Ya gritted her teeth, enduring the pain, trying to absorb the fire-type energy from the surrounding flames.
Qiao Sang looked at Ya not giving up, but with her flaming wings on both sides shrinking by a circle, her eyes filled with worry, only feeling sweat seeping into her palms.
Water-type Pets live in water all year round, but they can still be injured by Water-type skills. That is because the impact of Water-type skills and the Water-type energy contained in them are aggressive and stronger than what they can withstand.
Similarly, Ya had previously been able to remain expressionless in the flames because the fire-type energy contained in the flames at that time was within her tolerance range.
Now, Ya was clearly enduring it forcefully.
If she didn’t have the Firestarter characteristic, then at this moment she would be purely enduring the feeling of being roasted by fire…
As time passed, the flaming wings on Ya’s body shrunk smaller and smaller, like a candle flame, feeling as if a gentle breeze could extinguish them.
“Ya Ya!”
Suddenly, Ya cried out loudly, her flaming wings expanded sharply, scorching flames shot out from her body, and a powerful aura spread throughout the entire training room.
Raging Flames… Qiao Sang’s expression became even more solemn.
The appearance of this characteristic indicated that Ya’s current state was below one-fourth of her peak condition…
“Xiao Xunbao…”
Xiao Xunbao understood what the Raging Flames erupting from Ya’s body meant. She finally became worried, looking at her Yu Beast Master, and then at Brother Ya on the other side of the transparent screen.
She didn’t understand why her Yu Beast Master had wanted Brother Ya to come out before, but now that Raging Flames had appeared, she wasn’t speaking.
“Ice Ai…”
Xiao Xunbao’s expression was serious.
“Steel Slash…”
Steel Treasure’s expression grew even more admiring.
Raging Flames had appeared, but Ya, after her Yu Beast Master had spoken, didn’t scream again to avoid making her worry.
This willpower, she probably couldn’t even do it herself…
“Xiao Xunbao?”
Xiao Xunbao finally couldn’t help it and cried out, asking if she should let Brother out now?
Qiao Sang gazed at the red figure with flames erupting all over her body and said in a deep voice:
“She won’t come out now.”
Ya was stubborn; she would carry out anything she set her mind to.
She hadn’t been in a disadvantaged battle for too long, Qiao Sang had almost forgotten that Ya would never give up until the very last moment she fell.
The same went for battles.
And training.
Inside the training room.
The flames burned fiercely.
The pure white flames remained burning, while the orange-red flames erupting from Ya’s body gradually weakened.
“Ya Ya…”
Ya gritted her teeth, her internal energy circulating, standing stubbornly.
No one saw a red energy particle, invisible to the naked eye, enter Ya’s body.
Immediately after, a second particle, a third particle…
At this moment, all the pure white flames suddenly extinguished.
“Ya, the training time is up,” her Yu Beast Master’s voice entered her ears.
The door opened, and light shone in.
“Ya Ya…”
Ya saw the familiar figure at the door, the flames on her body completely dissipated, everything in front of her gradually blurred, her limbs went soft, and she fell to one side.
Just then, a blue light shone over.
“Ya!”
Three seconds later, Ya blinked her eyes, full of vitality, and jumped up from the ground, instantly fully recovered.
She looked at her Yu Beast Master at the door, cried out excitedly, and leaped, ready to pounce.
Hey, hey, hey! Did you forget your current size?! Qiao Sang’s heart skipped a beat, her previous worry completely disappeared, and with a wave of her hand, she recalled Ya, who was about to pounce, back into the yu beast codex.
She let out a sigh of relief, then formed hand seals and summoned Ya back out.
“Ya Ya…”
As soon as Ya came out, she drooped her tail and looked at her Yu Beast Master with a resentful expression.
Qiao Sang’s mouth twitched, and she explained:
“You haven’t gotten smaller yet.”
“Ya Ya…”
After Ya understood, her resentful expression vanished, and she quickly slowly shrank, then excitedly pounced towards her Yu Beast Master again.
This time, Qiao Sang opened her arms and caught her.
The Mechanical-type Pet opened the door behind them.
“Then I’ll be going now,” Qiao Sang said goodbye to the Mechanical-type Pet, holding Ya, and walked out of the training room.
Xiao Xunbao leaped up, jumped back into the backpack, and extended her paw to close the zipper most of the way.
“Xun!”
As soon as they were out, Xiao Xunbao immediately floated next to Ya, expressing her admiration.
“Ya Ya!”
Under Xiao Xunbao’s flattery, Ya’s back straightened more and more, and her head lifted higher and higher.
“Does it hurt?” Qiao Sang asked.
“Ya Ya!”
Ya shook her head without hesitation.
It doesn’t hurt.
Pretend, keep pretending… Qiao Sang sighed inwardly, then asked, “Do you want to continue this training?”
“Ya Ya!”
Ya nodded with determined eyes.
“Xun!”
Xiao Xunbao cried out obsequiously from the side, Brother Ya is mighty!
“Ya!”
Ya showed an expression of “Of course.”
Qiao Sang: “…”
Qiao Sang walked to the first floor, came to the registration desk, handed over her student ID, and said, “I want to book the ‘Rebirth’ project.”
The teacher at the registration desk glanced at Ya, who looked as if she hadn’t been in a training room, took the student ID, completed the registration, and handed it back, then suddenly recommended:
“Actually, our Fire-type training hall has many other projects suitable for Fire-type Pets. You can try them all.”
There’s no time at all. All projects require appointments, and there’s not even enough time for the ‘Rebirth’ project… Qiao Sang complained inwardly, while politely smiling on the surface: “I will.”
…
2:13 AM.
After Healing the last terminally ill patient on tonight’s list, Qiao Sang dragged her exhausted body home and collapsed directly onto the bed.
“Ice Ai.”
Xiao Xunbao cried out, the gem on her forehead lit up, and she was about to give her Yu Beast Master a Healing Light.
“Don’t use it,” Qiao Sang stopped her, “This way I’ll fall asleep faster later.”
The light from Xiao Xunbao’s forehead gem dissipated, and she turned and leaped into the water tank.
Qiao Sang closed her eyes, habitually entering the yu beast codex before bed.
The data behind Ya’s level increased by 750 points. Sure enough, all those energy foods weren’t eaten for nothing… Raging Flames’ data increased by one point… Huh? Wait! Flash Fire?!
Qiao Sang opened her eyes, suddenly sat up from the bed, all sleepiness gone.
