Beast Taming: Starting From Zero

Chapter 962: Qingyin Fairy (two in one)

The Pet in front of them was about eighty centimeters tall, with a sky-blue body, green, curly ears on both sides of its head, a circle of white clouds at the base of its head connecting to the ears, and a circle of white clouds at the wrists of its paws. There were white patterns in the middle of its head, and green patterns from the bottom of its neck to its abdomen. Its lower body was covered by fluffy white clouds, and its pair of green eyes were extremely pure.

Everyone’s eyes instantly lit up, followed by a flurry of frantic photo-taking.

“Xiao Xunbao!”

Xiao Xunbao, remembering its Yu Beast Master’s earlier words, floated around Qingbao in a 360-degree motion, performing camera movements.

“Xiao Xunbao…”

But then, as Xiao Xunbao approached Qingbao for its camera work, it suddenly felt that something was amiss.

It put down its phone, looked at Qingbao in front of it, then looked down at itself, and then approached a little closer, using its paw to gesture the difference in their sizes.

A bolt from the blue!

Xiao Xunbao felt an arrow pierce its heart and took a step back, its face full of disbelief and looking deeply wounded.

Now even the fifth one was bigger than it?!

“Qingqing~”

Qingbao disappeared with a Wind Transformation.

Soon, it reappeared beside Qiao Sang, affectionately rubbing its face against hers.

The moment it touched the Sky Cloud Crystal, its trust in its Yu Beast Master reached a full one hundred percent.

Yu Ke and Yu Le watched from the side with envy, but even more so, with excitement.

Even the elders in their family had never personally witnessed a legendary Pet evolve before their eyes.

Mi Jiala put away her camera, restrained the urge to touch Qingbao, and said, “Since Qingfeng Nini has successfully evolved, I’ll go contact the school’s people first and have them come over for an inspection.”

Qiao Sang felt the softness against her cheek, her face almost splitting with laughter as she giggled out a “Good.”

Mi Jiala turned and left.

“Let me hug it quickly,” Ye Xiangting said, walking closer.

“Qingqing~”

Before Qiao Sang could speak, Qingbao turned and floated into Ye Xiangting’s arms.

It hadn’t forgotten that this was its Yu Beast Master’s mother.

Even after evolving, it’s still so cute… Ye Xiangting hugged Qingbao, her heart instantly melting.

One must know that many Pets are soft and cute when they are young, and it is rare for them to remain as cute after evolving, especially when an Intermediate-level Pet evolves into a High-level Pet, their size suddenly increases to over three meters, and they no longer have that soft and cute feeling from when they were young.

Qingbao, however, didn’t differ much from when it was Qingfeng Nini; it was still just as lovable.

Then she thought of something and asked, “What is Qingbao’s current form called?”

You actually don’t know the name of Qingfeng Nini’s evolved form… Yu Ke and Yu Le looked over with synchronized expressions of astonishment.

“It’s called Qingyin Fairy,” Qiao Sang replied.

Qingyin Fairy, Qingqing Ni’s High Level form, likes to Wind Transformation and Flying, hiding in the wind, never letting people easily see its form.

The experts who studied legendary Pets not only sent resources for Qingbao but also documented information about the Qingqing Ni species. She had read it carefully and remembered the names of the entire Qingqing Ni evolution chain.

“That’s quite a nice name,” Ye Xiangting praised, stroking the white clouds on Qingbao’s lower body.

“Qingqing~”

Qingbao curved its eyes, a response to the compliment.

It seems to be in a good mood now… Feeling the comfortable evening breeze, Qiao Sang keenly noticed that Qingbao’s patience had improved significantly.

If it were in the past, if her mom touched it like this for half a day, it would probably have already Wind Transformation…

“It will take a while for the people from the Imperial Beast Academy to come over and develop Energy Pills to send. At the fastest, it will still take a good amount of time,” Liu Yao said, putting away his camera equipment and walking closer. “I happen to have Energy Pills suitable for common High Level Fairy-type Pets here. The effect should be better than the Energy Pills it took at the Intermediate level. Would you like to give them to Qingbao for a transition first?”

Qiao Sang’s eyes lit up: “Of course!”

Liu Yao smiled: “Then I’ll send them to you tomorrow.”

“Qingqing~”

Qingbao understood and gave Liu Yao a sweet smile.

Liu Yao was stunned for a moment, then reached out and smiled as he patted Qingbao’s head.

Qingbao did not refuse.

The Wind God Cloud, a legendary Pet known as the God of Disaster, was so well-behaved in its previous evolutionary forms… Liu Yao felt the softness in his hand, his heart filled with emotion.

Yu Ke, seeing others continuously touching the Qingyin Fairy, finally couldn’t resist stepping forward and asking, “Can I, can I touch it?”

Even though she and Qiao Sang were already quite familiar, the thought of asking to touch the legendary Qingyin Fairy still made her nervous.

Qiao Sang looked at Qingbao.

“Qingqing~”

Qingbao nodded.

Upon seeing this, Yu Ke felt her heart stop for a second.

She tremblingly reached out her hand and touched Qingbao.

The moment she touched it, four words instantly appeared in her mind: Life is worth it.

“Me! I want to touch it too!” Yu Le, seeing that Yu Ke had already touched it, eagerly stepped forward and said.

Qingbao did not refuse either.

Everyone gathered around Qingbao, touching its lower body’s white clouds, its paws, and its head, almost touching its entire body.

“Qingqing…”

Qingbao was in a great mood because of its evolution, and at first, it smiled sweetly, but gradually, its smile became forced.

But even so, it didn’t disappear with a Wind Transformation as it usually would.

Qiao Sang felt the strong wind around her, brushed away the hair covering her eyes, coughed, and said, “Since Qingbao has successfully evolved, I’ll head back first.”

As soon as she spoke, the strong wind that had been blowing earlier instantly subsided, turning into a gentle evening breeze.

Yu Ke and Yu Le tried every means to make her stay.

After coolly refusing, Qiao Sang said, “Mom, Vice Principal, I’ll send you back first.”

“No need, I’ll go back by myself,” Liu Yao said with a smile, “See you tomorrow then.”

“Xianxian.”

The Tian Xian Bat next to him flapped its wings, its eyes glowing blue.

The next second, it disappeared from the spot with Liu Yao.

Qiao Sang turned and called out, “Xiao Xunbao.”

“Xiao Xunbao…”

Xiao Xunbao floated over listlessly, its eyes glowing blue.

Then, only Yu Ke and Yu Le remained in the large outdoor training ground.

The two looked at the empty space in front of them, their hearts feeling empty. “It’s okay, Qiao Shen will be back tomorrow anyway!” Yu Le cheered, “We’ll definitely see Qingyin Fairy again tomorrow!”

Yu Ke nodded slightly: “You’re right.”

At this moment, Hu Ji Tiger walked over, raised its paw, and pressed the watch on its wrist.

Instantly, a virtual screen appeared out of thin air in mid-air, displaying the scene of Qingbao’s earlier evolution and appearance, accompanied by an exciting BGM.

Not only that, but there were also close-up shots.

“When did you get this?” Yu Ke asked, pleasantly surprised, after watching the video on the virtual screen.

“Hu Ji.”

Hu Ji Tiger pointed in the direction of the monitoring room.

“Did you get it from the monitoring room just now?” Yu Ke asked.

“Hu Ji.” Hu Ji Tiger nodded.

“Sister! A raise! You must give this Hu Ji Tiger a raise!” Yu Le shouted.

Yu Ke affirmed: “A raise! Definitely a raise!”

“Hu Ji.”

Hu Ji Tiger remained calm, waving its paw to indicate it didn’t need one.

As a qualified butler, bringing joy to the employer is its duty and does not require a raise.

Two in the morning.

Yu Beast Center.

Room 2603.

Xiao Xunbao had already forgotten that Qingbao’s evolved form was larger than itself and began practicing Barrier, hoping to earn another round of applause in the competition.

Qiao Sang lay on the bed, her consciousness entering the yu beast codex, quickly flipping to the page about Qingbao.

Qiao Sang looked at Qingbao’s two newly acquired characteristics and remained silent for a long time.

Unstable Mood, Overconfidence, although one is S-rank and one is A-rank, why do they always feel so unsuited for Qingbao…

Earlier, Qingbao suddenly awakened two S-rank characteristics, which greatly improved Qiao Sang’s vision and tolerance, so she wasn’t particularly surprised by the level of Qingbao’s newly awakened characteristics.

Unstable Mood is actually understandable when you think about it. Even if Qingbao can control its expression, its mood truly cannot be hidden, constantly affecting the surrounding wind. Even if this characteristic is triggered, it might still be to increase attack and decrease speed or defense.

It’s just Overconfidence… Qiao Sang pondered for a long time and came to a conclusion.

A Pet’s awakened characteristics are quite random, and not entirely related to its species’ characteristics and personality.

Having figured this out, Qiao Sang subconsciously began to analyze the Overconfidence characteristic.

Although this characteristic can increase attack power, it only does so after defeating at least one opponent. The competitions she participates in are basically 1V1 battles, so it’s not very useful in competitions, but it should play a significant role in secret realms or when fighting in groups in the wild.

Qiao Sang’s gaze shifted downward, landing on Qingbao’s three newly acquired skills.

Flatter, huh? Flatter?

Qiao Sang was momentarily bewildered.

Flatter, an Evil-type Intermediate-level skill, flatters the opponent, causing them to become confused, but at the same time, it also increases the opponent’s Special Attack.

What kind of decent Pet would awaken this skill!

And it’s not even Evil-type!

Qiao Sang’s mind was filled with confusion at this moment.

This skill would be more suitable for Xiao Xunbao to awaken…

Speaking of which, several of Qingbao’s awakened characteristics and skills feel quite inconsistent with its image. Earlier, there was a Mischievous Heart, and this time, not only characteristics, but also an Evil-type skill…

She suppressed the doubts in her heart and looked at the other two skills.

Power Swap, a Superpower System High Level skill, uses Superpower to swap the changes in one’s own and the opponent’s Attack and Special Attack abilities.

When she saw this skill, Qiao Sang’s eyes immediately lit up.

This skill is good!

Opponents encountered in the Regional Competition are definitely stronger than Qingbao. If it can Power Swap, wouldn’t it directly turn a disadvantage into an advantage!

It’s just that this skill has two downsides… Qiao Sang quickly calmed down.

One is that if you are not familiar with the opponent’s skills or don’t know what skills they have, even if you swap them, you can’t use them immediately.

Secondly, if the opponent is too strong and exceeds its own level, once their skills are used, the energy within their body will be immediately consumed.

If there’s no energy left in the body, even swapping the most powerful attack skills would be useless.

Using this move still requires caution… Qiao Sang thought, her gaze falling on the last skill.

Dazzling Gleam, a Fairy-type High Level skill, emits a strong light at the opponent and deals damage… Finally, a skill that belongs to Qingbao’s own attribute… Qiao Sang felt a inexplicable sense of relief in her heart.

Tomorrow, she would let Qingbao familiarize itself with its newly awakened skills, which would also mean having more offensive options.

With the Power Swap skill, even if Qingbao encounters a strong opponent, it won’t necessarily lose…

Qiao Sang exited the yu beast codex and saw Xiao Xunbao practicing Barrier nearby, then closed her eyes to sleep with a sense of relief.

Ten minutes later.

“Xiao Xunbao…”

Xiao Xunbao felt tired. It turned to glance at its sleeping Yu Beast Master, its eyes glowing blue, and controlled the phone on the bedside table to float over, then began playing on its phone.

It had trained long enough; it would play for a while before continuing to practice…

Early morning.

Qiao Sang was woken by an urgent phone call. She fumbled for her phone, picked it up, and opened her eyes.

The screen showed that the caller was Yu Ke.

Qiao Sang answered the phone: “What’s wrong? Calling me so early.”

Yu Ke’s voice was urgent: “It’s bad!”

Qiao Sang instantly sobered up: “Your family’s training ground can’t be used?”

“No! It’s that the news of Qingfeng Nini evolving into Qingyin Fairy has been leaked by paparazzi!” Yu Ke said, “It even made it to the trending topics!”

Qiao Sang: “???”
