Beast Taming: Starting From Zero

Chapter 960: Tianyunjing (two in one)

“Xiao Xunbao…”

Xiao Xunbao’s body trembled, feeling an inexplicable chill.

“Xiao Xunbao~”

Then, it seemed to remember something, looked up at the swaying chandelier on the ceiling, and chirped, indicating for the wind to be a little softer.

“Qingqing.”

Qingbao’s voice rang out, and then the wind in the room lessened slightly, and the chandelier’s swaying arc became much smaller.

Xiao Xunbao felt the chill on its body disappear and continued to watch the live broadcast of the competition with satisfaction.

After the morning matches ended, Qiao Sang and Ya Bao had a hearty meal, checked the time on their phones, and prepared to go to the suburbs for training before the afternoon matches began.

Just as she was about to call Xiao Xunbao to synchronize their location, her phone vibrated.

Qiao Sang picked it up and saw that it was Teacher Mi Jiala calling, so she quickly answered the phone.

Before she could speak, Teacher Mi Jiala’s voice came from the speaker:

“Where are you now?”

Qiao Sang reported the address:

“Suite 2603, Yu Beast Center.”

Her lunch was specially delivered to the room by the Staff of the Yu Beast Center.

Now was the peak of the Regional Competition, and there were too many people outside who recognized her. If she went out to eat, she would be watched the whole time, not to mention that photos of her eating would be uploaded online.

It was better to eat in the room; it was quiet.

“Wait for me.” Mi Jiala hung up the phone.

After about three seconds, Teacher Mi Jiala appeared out of thin air in the room.

Qiao Sang was already used to this.

Even Ya Bao and the others didn’t have much of a reaction.

“Have you already had lunch?” Mi Jiala asked, looking at the leftover food on the coffee table.

Qiao Sang hummed, “Just finished. Teacher, have you eaten? Do you want me to order a portion for you?”

“No need.”

Mi Jiala had only spoken two words when she suddenly felt something and turned to pinch a tissue Flying from the side with two fingers.

She looked at the tissue she was holding, then at the constantly fluttering curtains by the window, and asked:

“What’s wrong with Qingfeng Ni Ni?”

Qiao Sang coughed, “It’s training Favorable Wind.”

After speaking, she said towards the curtains:

“Qingbao, make the wind a little softer.”

“Qingqing.”

Qingbao’s voice rang out in the room, and then the movement of the curtains fluttering became much smaller.

Mi Jiala asked, puzzled, “Why is it training in the room?”

“Because I told it that if it trains its skill for ten hours every day, I’ll let it participate in the competition then,” Qiao Sang explained.

Mi Jiala was stunned, “Are you serious?”

“Of course.” Qiao Sang nodded.

Mi Jiala said bluntly, “Although my purpose for letting you participate in the competition is for training, Qingfeng Ni Ni is only a High-level Pet, and in the Regional Competition, contestants can send out three Pets for battle. The weakest Pet they send out is also a High-level Pet. Qingfeng Ni Ni has only recently evolved, so even if it encounters a High-level Pet, it won’t have a training effect.”

Her purpose for letting Qiao Sang participate in the Regional Competition was for training, but the basis of training was to have a back-and-forth fight or to improve in battle, not to be completely suppressed and abused throughout.

Although there were indeed cases in reality where High-level Pets challenged and defeated High-level Pets, those were generally High Level late-stage perfected Pets defeating High-level Pets with not very good talents.

Qingfeng Ni Ni had only recently evolved, and its opponents were all Pets cultivated by young Professional Beast Tamers. No matter how she thought about it, it would just be going up to get abused.

As her voice fell, the wind in the room also stopped blowing.

“Of course I won’t let Qingbao compete at the High Level.” Qiao Sang said, “I’ve agreed with it that I’ll let it participate after it evolves.”

The curtains swayed, and the wind in the room blew again.

Evolve? Mi Jiala frowned slightly and said:

“Qingfeng Ni Ni must never evolve casually unless the energy within its body reaches its maximum capacity.”

She knew that the people from the Mid-Air Region had given Qiao Sang many resources needed for Qingfeng Ni Ni, including the Sky Cloud Crystal used for evolution.

If one didn’t consider the potential after evolution, these resources alone could make Qingfeng Ni Ni evolve in a short time.

This is too distrustful of me… Qiao Sang grumbled inwardly and said:

“I know that this would hinder its potential. I will definitely let it evolve only when its energy reaches its maximum limit.”

As she spoke, she smiled, “After all, I still want Qingbao to be able to evolve to the Divine-level in the future.”

At the same time, the wind in the room blew more intensely.

It’s not that I don’t believe you, it’s just that based on your usual performance, you spoil your Pets too much… Mi Jiala heard this, felt relieved, and then thought of something, asking:

“In the upcoming 108 to 54 strong competition, you might still encounter a Yu Beast Master who sends out a High-level Pet, but after that, it’s absolutely impossible to encounter one again. Could it be that you’re preparing to let Qingfeng Ni Ni evolve to High Level and then battle those General-level Pets?”

The Regional Competition would probably last about a month. Based on Qiao Sang’s previous cultivation speed for Yan Jiaoou and the others, Qingfeng Ni Ni indeed had a certain probability of evolving by the later stages of the competition.

But at that time, the opponents encountered would absolutely not send out High-level Pets.

If a Qingfeng Ni Ni that had just evolved to High Level were to battle a General-level Pet, it would be better to compete against a High-level Pet in its High Level form.

The wind in the room stopped again.

You almost made me forget… Qiao Sang fell into deep thought for a moment.

Indeed, the stronger the opponents encountered in the later stages, the less likely it was to encounter an opponent who sent out a High-level Pet in the first two matches. It would be even more impossible later on.

The only chance to encounter an opponent who would send out a High-level Pet was probably the next match, the 108 to 54 strong competition…

Qiao Sang did not answer directly, but instead said:

“Let’s talk about everything after Qingbao evolves, Teacher. Is there something you came to see me about?”

“I saw that the morning matches were over and guessed that you would probably go training at this time, so I came to accompany you,” Mi Jiala stated her purpose.

She guessed so accurately… Qiao Sang smiled:

“I was just about to go.”

Suburban area, villa.

Yu Ke and Yu Le looked at the figures outside through the glass window.

After watching for a long time, Yu Le finally couldn’t hold back and asked:

“Sister, you said Qiao Shen is now a student of the Imperial Beast Academy, so is this person a teacher from the Imperial Beast Academy?”

“Yes.” Yu Ke answered, her eyes fixed on Qingbao’s figure, “Qiao Sang introduced her.”

Yu Le sighed with emotion:

“The Imperial Beast Academy is so good. Even the teachers teach 1V1 outside.”

“How could every student have a teacher teach them 1V1?” Yu Ke said, “Qiao Sang’s situation must be special.”

Yu Le thought about it and felt that it should be the case.

She continued to look out the window, then her gaze fixed on a floating figure. She took out her phone, opened the camera function, zoomed in, and took several photos, sighing:

“Qingfeng Ni Ni has been in Wind Transformation state for the past few days, so I haven’t seen it much. Today, it hasn’t been in Wind Transformation all the time, so I got to enjoy looking at it.”

Yu Ke also stared at that figure, worriedly saying:

“Why does Qingfeng Ni Ni look a bit unhappy to me?”

Yu Le was stunned for a moment, put down her phone, walked a few steps forward, and leaned against the glass window to examine it closely:

“Is it?”

At the same time.

Outdoor training ground.

In the shadow of the tree.

“Why aren’t you training anymore?” Qiao Sang asked, looking at Qingbao beside her.

“Qingqing.” Qingbao sighed.

Anyway, even if it evolved, it would still lose the match.

“Who said that?” Qiao Sang retorted.

“Qingqing.”

Qingbao continued to sigh and chirped, indicating that it had heard the previous conversation, and that what the human who was the teacher said made sense. If it evolved to High Level, it definitely wouldn’t be able to defeat those General-level guys.

Qiao Sang smiled:

“Then you work hard and evolve within these four days, wouldn’t that be great? Then you might be able to encounter opponents of the same level.”

Within four days? Can it do it? Qingbao expressed its confusion with its eyes.

Indeed not, but who told her she had a Gold Finger… Qiao Sang said seriously:

“Why not? Your evolution item will be delivered tonight. As long as you follow the previous training, you will definitely be able to evolve.”

Even if Qingbao didn’t train Favorable Wind to Profound Meaning by then, she would just add it with Point.

Qingbao showed a hesitant expression.

Qiao Sang smiled, “Don’t worry, it will definitely be after your internal energy reaches its maximum. I won’t let you evolve haphazardly. How could I let you sacrifice so much just for a competition?”

Qingbao was stunned for a moment, and its heart sighed for the Nth time at the wonder of the contract.

It hadn’t said anything, yet its Yu Beast Master understood what it was thinking.

Qiao Sang continued:

“Did you forget your original goal of becoming stronger?”

Qingbao was startled for a moment: “Qingqing?”

“Defeat the Emperor-level Pets Gu Yi Bird and Ice Snow Bird.” Qiao Sang looked into Qingbao’s eyes and said:

“If you don’t even have this much confidence now, how will you defeat those two guys in the future?”

“Qingqing…”

Qingbao’s eyes gradually became resolute.

Then, it disappeared with Wind Transformation.

Looks like it went to train… Qiao Sang showed a satisfied expression.

But then, she looked at Qingbao, who had reappeared beside her, and her expression turned to shock:

“Why are you back again?”

Could it be that her psychological encouragement didn’t work?

“Qingqing~”

Qingbao extended its claw, took a green leaf from its Yu Beast Master’s head, revealed a sweet smile, and disappeared with Wind Transformation.

Holy cow, so cute… Qiao Sang felt her heart melt.

Inside the French window.

“Sister, Qingfeng Ni Ni smiled!” Yu Le exclaimed.

Yu Ke felt relieved: “I saw it.”

Yu Le said regretfully, “Qingfeng Ni Ni smiled so suddenly, I didn’t even have time to capture that moment.”

Yu Ke calmly said:

“It’s fine, there’s surveillance on the outdoor training ground. We can just zoom in and screenshot it later.”

Yu Le exclaimed with delight:

“You’re so smart, Sister!”

“Hu Ji…”

The Hu Ji Tiger behind silently put down the cleaning tools it was holding and went to the monitoring room to help with the screenshots.

As a qualified butler, one must always remain vigilant, pre-arrange everything the employer wants to do, and, when necessary, complete it directly, responding to the employer’s needs.

10:30 PM.

Yu Beast Center.

Room 2603.

Qiao Sang and Ya Bao were intently watching the live broadcast of the competition on TV.

The wind in the room blew incessantly, causing her hair and Ya Bao’s fur to constantly flutter.

Suddenly, there were two knocks on the door.

“Xiao Xunbao~”

Xiao Xunbao floated to the door, wanting to poke its head out to see.

But remembering what its Yu Beast Master’s mother had said earlier, it paused and didn’t immediately go out.

At this moment, its Yu Beast Master’s voice rang out:

“Open it, it’s a delivery.”

“Xiao Xunbao~”

Xiao Xunbao turned the doorknob.

Standing at the door was a Pet about one meter tall, mostly pink and white, with a pink gem on its forehead.

“Chuan Chuan.”

It was holding a package in its claws.

When it saw that Xiao Xunbao was the one receiving the package, it wasn’t surprised. It skillfully pulled out a pen from its satchel, and the gem on its forehead glowed pink. Then it handed the pen to Xiao Xunbao.

“Xiao Xunbao~”

Xiao Xunbao was also familiar with the Pet in front of it; it was the one who helped deliver the demon spirit heart last time.

It took the pen and drew a goofy face on the form.

The pink and white Pet recorded the entire process with the pink light from its gem.

“Xiao Xunbao~”

Xiao Xunbao signed its name, took the package, returned to the room, and closed the door.

Then it floated to its Yu Beast Master’s side and handed over the package.

Qiao Sang placed the package in front of Ya Bao: “Open it.”

“Yaya…”

Ya Bao, while staring at the competition on TV, extended a sharp claw and lightly sliced the package open.

The package was opened.

Qiao Sang looked at the contents, her gaze quickly settling on the black, password-protected box in the very center.

She took it out and entered the date Qingbao first appeared at the Yu Beast Center.

“Unlock successful.” A mechanical voice sounded.

Qiao Sang opened the box, only to see a pale pink, oval-shaped crystal, as large as a quail egg, inside.

This is an SS-grade Sky Cloud Crystal…

Qingbao seemed to be attracted, appearing beside her.

As it appeared, Qiao Sang’s hair and Ya Bao’s fur also stopped fluttering.

“Qingqing?”

Qingbao chirped curiously, asking what this was.

“This is your evolution item,” Qiao Sang explained.

“Qingqing…” Qingbao uncontrollably extended its claw, wanting to touch it.

Qiao Sang closed the box with a “thud” and said earnestly:

“I told you to evolve only when your energy reaches its maximum. Not now.”

An SS-grade Sky Cloud Crystal, who knew if it would trigger its evolution power just by being touched.

“Qingqing…”

Qingbao came back to its senses, showing a look of lingering fear.

Then it curved its eyes and rubbed its Yu Beast Master’s cheek.

Now, its confidence that its Yu Beast Master could make it evolve before the next competition had risen to 90%.

Qiao Sang felt the softness on her cheek and was momentarily stunned.

She clearly felt that Qingbao had become much closer to her.

Qiao Sang’s heart softened completely, and she reached out to Pet it.

But at this moment, Qingbao transformed into wind and disappeared, continuing to train Favorable Wind.

Qiao Sang: “…”

“Put these things away.” Qiao Sang put the box back into the package and instructed Xiao Xunbao.

“Xiao Xunbao~”

Xiao Xunbao took off its ring, enlarged it, and found a good spot to put the items inside.

Just evolving isn’t enough. Even if she’s lucky enough to encounter a Yu Beast Master who sends out a High-level Pet, Qingbao might not be able to win… To increase the win rate, Qingbao must evolve one or two days before the competition so it can familiarize itself with its newly awakened skills… Thinking of this, Qiao Sang lost interest in watching the competition. Taking advantage of the break between one group of contestants finishing their match and the next coming on, she closed her eyes, entered the yu beast codex with her consciousness, and turned to the page about Qingbao.

[Name: Qingfeng Ni Ni]

[Attributes: Demon Spirit, Flying]

[Level: High Level (6844/10000) +]

Her gaze quickly moved downwards, focusing on Favorable Wind and Point.

[Favorable Wind (Perfect 8276/10000) +]

[Point: 7297]

Actually, calculating it, the current Point are enough for Qingbao to add Favorable Wind to Profound Meaning and then max out its level to achieve perfect evolution… Qiao Sang quickly calculated it and had a rough idea in her mind. (End of Chapter)
