Beast Taming: Starting From Zero

Chapter 831: May I ask who you are (two in one)

Steel Treasure flapped its wings, swiftly ascended, and then began to spin.

Immediately after, Typhoon raged outwards from it as its center.

Under the night sky, the howling wind sounded like a giant beast roaring, making people tremble.

Qiao Sang had received feedback, and her physique was already different from ordinary people, and Steel Treasure’s ascending height was high enough, so the Typhoon coming from above would not have too much impact on her, at most her hair and clothes would be messed up a bit.

“Again.” Qiao Sang stood still, looked up at the sky, and said in her mind.

Steel Treasure in the air stopped moving.

Typhoon dissipated.

Two seconds later, Steel Treasure began to spin again.

Soon, the wind became like an enraged torrent, fiercely impacting everything in the air.

Some Flying-type Pets that were about to pass by, seeing this, detoured one after another.

“Again.” Qiao Sang said in her mind.

Steel Treasure stopped once more, then spun, unleashing Typhoon.

Half a minute later.

“Again.”

“Again.”

“Again.”

As time passed, familiar voices echoed in Steel Treasure’s mind again and again.

Ya had already fallen asleep.

Xiao Xunbao had already gone out to find little brothers.

Lu had also finished training and entered the water tank to rest.

Only Qiao Sang and Steel Treasure remained in the outdoor training ground.

“Di di…”

“Chan Chan…”

Aodinihi was eating potato chips while watching Steel Treasure’s training scene through the French windows in the living room with the Chan Chan Stones.

“Chan Chan.”

One of the Chan Chan Stones walked up to Aodinihi and friendly offered a red chili pepper.

Over the past few months, the Chan Chan Stones had eaten chili peppers almost every day; for them, chili peppers were already like snacks.

“Di di…”

Aodinihi pushed away the offered chili pepper, indicating refusal.

The Chan Chan Stone was not disappointed, casually popped the chili pepper into its mouth, and continued to watch Steel Treasure’s training scene outside.

Typhoon raged.

However, this time, Steel Treasure, at the center, was enveloped by a whirlwind resembling a giant dragon; the powerful rotating airflow concentrated most of the wind power, and wherever it went, the affected area was wider, forcing Qiao Sang to run under the eaves and keep a greater distance.

After about ten seconds, Steel Treasure flapped its wings forcefully, and the whirlwind dissipated.

At this moment, the moonlight shone on Steel Treasure’s body, and the residual wind stirred its glossy purple Wing Blades, making it look exceptionally cool.

“Come here.”

Her Yu Beast Master’s voice echoed in Steel Treasure’s mind.

Its gaze softened, and it flapped its wings, flying towards the direction of its Yu Beast Master.

Soon, Steel Treasure landed in front of its Yu Beast Master.

“Tired, aren’t you? Take a rest.” Qiao Sang handed over the C-grade energy recovery fluid she had prepared earlier.

“Steel Slash.” Steel Treasure took it with its wing and gulped it down in one go.

The successful formation of the whirlwind just now did not particularly surprise Qiao Sang.

During this period, every few days, Steel Treasure would successfully control the Typhoon into a whirlwind.

However, by the next day, after practicing a few more times, it would fail.

But this practice could not go on stage after just one successful attempt; this training method, without a Gold Finger, could not guarantee no mistakes in subsequent attempts after one successful display.

Thus, it entered a dead loop.

“Steel Slash?” Steel Treasure called out, asking what time it was.

Qiao Sang took out her phone and looked at it, saying, “4:23 AM.”

“Steel Slash.” Hearing this, Steel Treasure flapped its wings, ready to go practice again.

“Wait.” Qiao Sang stopped it.

Steel Treasure looked over.

“I’ve thought about it, if you really want to participate in the first segment, then it’s best not to practice Typhoon anymore now.” Qiao Sang stated her opinion: “There are only a few hours left until the competition starts. Continuing to practice now might cause instability; it’s better to remember the feeling of the whirlwind forming just now and the control within it.”

“Steel Slash.”

Steel Treasure pondered for a moment, then called out, indicating there was a risk of error.

“Exactly.” Qiao Sang said seriously: “So, we won’t practice Typhoon next; instead, we’ll practice control. Strengthening skill proficiency will allow for better control of the skill. Previously, we were heading in this direction, focusing on skills.”

“I want to change direction now, focusing on control.”

“As long as control improves, then no matter what skill is used next, even if proficiency isn’t high, it can be precisely controlled.”

Steel Treasure stared at its Yu Beast Master, suddenly falling silent.

“Why aren’t you talking?” Qiao Sang asked.

“Steel Slash…” Steel Treasure called out faintly, indicating why this training method wasn’t mentioned earlier.

Qiao Sang: “…”

After a brief silence, Qiao Sang honestly said, “I only thought of this today.”

If she were facing Ya and the others, she might put on an act, but facing Steel Treasure, likely due to the bond evolution, she always had a feeling that if she lied, it would be exposed.

Initially, she was very confident in Steel Treasure’s performance training and didn’t pay much attention.

After all, her Pets had no problems with talent; they were the type that understood with a single point, and training the formation of the whirlwind was equivalent to training Typhoon.

The higher the skill proficiency, the better the control; this was a truth she understood even before becoming a Yu Beast Master.

With her Gold Finger, Typhoon’s proficiency was definitely increasing every day, and she naturally assumed that with practice, Typhoon would eventually be smoothly controlled.

But she forgot that when skills are getting stronger, the required control also changes accordingly.

At such times, the control required for Typhoon, which gets stronger with each use, would also change.

By the time she discovered this problem, it was already too late.

“Steel Slash.”

Steel Treasure called out, indicating acceptance of this explanation.

“Steel Slash?”

Immediately, it showed a puzzled expression, wondering how to train control independently.

“The formation of a whirlwind ultimately requires balanced energy output when casting Typhoon.” After months of learning at Royal Union Dun and 1v1 guidance from Imperial Beast Academy teachers, Qiao Sang’s knowledge of Yu Beast was already much richer; she had an idea without needing to search online:

“Later, you will cast Wing Blade, controlling the energy on several feathers separately, making their attack force consistent.”

“Steel Slash.”

Steel Treasure nodded, then turned to prepare for training.

“Wait for me.” Qiao Sang said, running into the house.

The moment she entered the hall, she quickly scanned the Chan Chan Stones and Aodinihi by the French windows, then went to one of the storage rooms on the first floor and took out seven portable force detectors.

Portable force detectors are specifically for measuring the force of skills Pets use on them. They are round, look a bit like badminton rackets, and have handles at the bottom, requiring a person to hold them or something to fix them.

Qiao Sang walked out of the room with the portable force detectors, looked at Aodinihi and the Chan Chan Stones, and asked, “Can you all help me with something?”

“Chan Chan.”

The five Chan Chan Stones all nodded.

Although they had been living quite leisurely recently, they hadn’t forgotten they were here to work.

“Di di.”

Aodinihi called out while eating potato chips, indicating it could.

After speaking, it remembered that the human in front of it couldn’t understand what it said, so it nodded.

“It’s very simple.” Qiao Sang stepped forward, distributing the portable force detectors in her hand to the Chan Chan Stones and Aodinihi respectively, saying, “Just hold these and stand in a line outside.”

“Chan Chan.”

The Chan Chan Stones nodded and walked towards the outdoor training ground.

Aodinihi poured the remaining potato chips in its hand into its mouth in one go, then clapped its hands to clear off the crumbs, following behind the Chan Chan Stones.

Steel Treasure, we’ve made it, even Illusion Beasts are helping us train… Qiao Sang resisted the urge to pull out her phone and take a picture, and came to the training ground.

The Chan Chan Stones, Aodinihi, and Qiao Sang each held up a force detector in front of them, standing in a row.

Steel Treasure was high in the sky, dozens of meters away.

“You can start now. Pay attention to energy control and try to make the force of each attack the same.” Qiao Sang said in her mind: “You don’t need to pursue great power, just maintain balanced energy dispersion for control.”

“Steel Slash!”

High in the sky, Steel Treasure called out.

It flapped its wings forward, and seven purple-glowing Wing Blades simultaneously attacked the Chan Chan Stones.

The Chan Chan Stones stood still, but instinctively closed their eyes.

Aodinihi, holding the force detector, had already sat down on the spot, bored.

Trusting Steel Treasure, Qiao Sang remained motionless, not even blinking.

Seven purple lights flashed in mid-air, and with a “whoosh,” they all simultaneously embedded themselves into the seven force detectors.

At the same time, the display screens below the connection between the force detectors and handles showed data respectively:

300 kg.

300 kg.

298 kg.

300 kg.

301 kg.

300 kg.

300 kg.

Steel Treasure glanced at them, and without a word, retracted its Wing Blades.

The seven purple-glowing Wing Blades flew upwards, re-embedding themselves into Steel Treasure’s body.

“Steel Slash.”

Steel Treasure called out.

Seven purple lights shot out from its body again.

Time passed by minute by minute.

The sun rose, and the sky gradually brightened.

Steel Treasure was still training in the outdoor training ground.

“Xiao Xunbao…”

Xiao Xunbao didn’t know when it came back, looking at this scene through the French windows, and let out a sigh-like cry.

Too much competition…

Liu Yao came next to Xiao Xunbao, looking at the scene outside with a complex expression.

Even trying to participate in a Pet Coordinator competition meant training all night; if Qiao Sang didn’t succeed, who would…

“Don’t disturb them.” Liu Yao said: “Steel Treasure needs to train, so you can help me make breakfast today.”

After speaking, he walked towards the kitchen.

“Xiao Xunbao~”

Xiao Xunbao showed an interested expression and quickly followed.

It was interested in anything it hadn’t tried before.

An hour and a half later.

“Ya!”

Ya ran from the living room towards the outdoor training ground.

Ya is awake, so it must be late… Qiao Sang, holding the force detector, looked at the running figure, thinking groggily.

At this moment, seven purple lights attacked from the sky.

300 kg, 300 kg, 300 kg… Qiao Sang tried to cheer herself up, and after seeing that the display screens all showed 300 kg, she smiled weakly: “That’s enough, let’s rest.”

“Chan Chan…” The Chan Chan Stones walked towards the living room with tired steps.

Working is not easy…

“Di di!” Aodinihi’s nose had already caught the scent of food wafting from the villa, its eyes glowed blue, and it impatiently disappeared from its spot.

Qiao Sang instinctively dropped the force detector, opened her arms, and hugged the pouncing Ya.

“Ya!”

Ya cried out in dissatisfaction, indicating why it wasn’t called for training.

Qiao Sang was silent for a moment: “Can you stay up all night?”

“Ya…”

Ya showed an embarrassed expression.

Let alone staying up all night, it couldn’t even stay up a little later…

“Steel Slash.”

Steel Treasure flew down from high in the sky.

“Let’s go eat.” Qiao Sang yawned, and continued: “After eating, we’ll get ready, and then it’ll be time to leave.”

“Steel Slash?”

Steel Treasure didn’t immediately head indoors, calling out, indicating if this training was enough?

Qiao Sang thought for a moment and said, “I think so.”

“Steel Slash.”

Hearing this, Steel Treasure relaxed, flapping its wings and flying towards the house.

Qiao Sang, holding Ya, followed beside it, smiling: “I said it’s okay, and you believed it? I thought you’d want to practice the entrance method a few more times.”

“Steel Slash.”

Steel Treasure called out without looking back.

I trust you.

Qiao Sang was stunned for a moment, her heart warmed, and she felt a bit touched, becoming much more awake.

She could feel Steel Treasure’s seriousness about this Pet Coordinator competition, and she didn’t expect that just her words would make it relax and not ask for further training.

This Steel Treasure is really very different from when it was first contracted…

Back then, in battles, Steel Treasure was still somewhat hesitant about the commands she gave…

Half an hour later, Qiao Sang, carrying the backpack containing Lu, sat on Ya and set off spiritedly towards the venue of the Pet Coordinator competition.

At this time, the sky was already bright.

High in the sky, many people were commuting on Flying-type Pets.

“Xiao Xunbao?”

Xiao Xunbao showed a curious expression, asking how the fourth brother’s training went and if it still wanted to switch with it.

“Steel Slash.”

Before Qiao Sang could speak, Steel Treasure called out, indicating that the training was only successful once, so no switch.

“Xiao Xunbao!”

Xiao Xunbao sounded a bit anxious upon hearing that.

How about we still switch!

How can it be okay if it only succeeded once!

If the fourth brother fails in the first stage and doesn’t advance, how will I appear in the second stage!

“Steel Slash.”

Steel Treasure called out calmly.

Its Yu Beast Master said it was fine.

“Xiao Xunbao…”

Xiao Xunbao breathed a sigh of relief. If its Yu Beast Master said it was fine, then it should be fine.

After confirming that it wouldn’t be on stage for the first stage, Xiao Xunbao took off its ring, pulled out various accessories and Pet clothing, and began to dress itself and Steel Treasure.

Steel Treasure remained quiet, allowing itself to be adorned.

Just let you take them all later… Qiao Sang saw Xiao Xunbao and Steel Treasure dressed in red and green, adorned with all sorts of dazzling jewelry, and her mouth twitched. She silently shifted her gaze, refocusing on the navigation, out of sight, out of mind.

Xiangsuo Street No. 1.

The venue for the Pet Coordinator competition.

Many fashionably dressed Pet Coordinators had already gathered here, with a few reporters broadcasting.

Ya ran from high in the sky to the ground, and its magnificent fur and never-before-seen Pet appearance instantly attracted the attention of most people.

Everyone turned their gaze here.

Some of them recognized Flame Qilu, their eyes lit up, and they quickly took out their phones or cameras to photograph it.

Qiao Sang dismounted from Ya.

A mature-looking female reporter with golden curly hair jogged over, holding a microphone, and asked:

“Excuse me, are you a Pet Coordinator?”

Qiao Sang was stunned for a moment, then remembered the F-grade Pet Coordinator badge she had recently applied for, and nodded:

“I am.”

Looking back at June, she was industrious in June.
