Beast taming, starting from zero point

Chapter 130: Chapter 125: High School Sophomore Team

“`

“Ahhhhhhhh!!”

The shrill screams echoed in the sky above Shengshui Middle School.

Qiao Sang had imagined that her contracted Pet Beast would one day carry her through the skies, but she never thought that Pet Beast would be Yaobao.

In society, it was usually Flying Type Pet Beasts that carried people into the sky.

Psychic Series Pet Beasts could also use telekinesis to allow people to move through the air.

However, on one hand, Psychic Series Pet Beasts were too rare and expensive, and on the other hand, controlling a person to move through the air for a long time consumes a lot of energy, so the Pet Beast’s level must be at least high-level or above to do so.

But even if a Psychic Series Pet Beast reached a level where it could move people a few kilometers or tens of kilometers through the air, no one would do that.

Why not comfortably ride on a Flying Type Pet Beast? Why bother with levitating, which feels insecure and isn’t fast enough?

But these two concerns needn’t be worried about with Yaobao.

Because you can ride it.

Just because of this point, the news of the Flame Listening Dog in the future would certainly cause a national sensation.

At this moment, Qiao Sang felt anything but sensational.

She looked down from Yaobao’s back with trepidation, immediately feeling a bit dizzy.

“Yaobao, why are you running up towards the sky?” Qiao Sang asked with a trembling voice.

“Yaobao!”

Yaobao responded loudly, of course to pick stars for its little brother!

“Xun!”

“Xun Xun!”

Xiao Xunbao immediately cheered.

Qiao Sang: “…”

Recently, Yaobao had been so well-behaved that she almost forgot it used to occasionally create some “surprises” for her.

…

In the end, of course, the stars weren’t picked.

However, Qiao Sang discovered the possibility that she might be able to fly even without contracting a Flight Type Pet Beast, thanks to Yaobao.

And really, its fur was so soft and comfortable to sit on, and there were no large wings obstructing her view from time to time, it was simply the perfect flying mount.

Although using psychic powers to move through the air doesn’t consume much energy for Psychic Series Pet Beasts, Yaobao had just evolved and had to carry both her and Xiao Xunbao. Since it was Qiao Sang’s first experience with such an exciting flight, she wasn’t reassured and kept urging Yaobao to return quickly.

Luckily, Yaobao was quite obedient to her.

As for flying in the future, she would only consider it after testing Yaobao’s physical fitness and energy limits.

…

The next day,

August 3rd.

Qiao Sang struggled to get out of bed past eight o’clock.

Xiao Xunbao, holding milk, looked up at the sky beside the bed with a longing look.

Yaobao, as always, was working hard, practicing by using telekinesis to float in mid-air in the room early in the morning.

Three bottles of milk floated in front of it, crisscrossing under the control of telekinesis, heading towards its mouth.

“It’s time to stop having milk and switch to energy meals,”

Qiao Sang thought, looking at the milk bottles that were completely mismatched to Yaobao’s current size.

After washing up and coming to the living room, she saw her roommate looking at his phone at the dining table.

“You’re up,” Jin Feifan said, looking up with a smile of surprise.

“Mhm,” Qiao Sang yawned.

“Did you also have a bad sleep last night?” Jin Feifan asked, looking at Qiao Sang’s tired appearance.

“`

“I didn’t sleep well.” Qiao Sang replied.

Last night, Yaobao had indeed come back halfway through as she instructed, but the night was dark and windy. The landing spot was nowhere near the interior of Shengshui Middle School.

When she finally made it back, she found the school gates were firmly closed.

Fortunately, with Yaobao’s help, she was able to scale the wall. Later, she discovered that the door at the bottom of the dormitory building was also locked. It was only by relying on Yaobao’s ability to fly that she managed to enter via the balcony of her dorm room.

All this back and forth meant she was late.

“You didn’t sleep well either?” Qiao Sang noticed the use of “also” in her roommate’s question.

“Yeah, last night, out of nowhere, there was this terrifying scream like something out of a horror movie. It scared me to death. I kept thinking something had happened outside all night long.” Jin Feifan said, still shaken: “I knocked on your door yesterday but you didn’t answer. Did you hear that sound?”

Qiao Sang shook her head: “Maybe I wasn’t in the dorm at the time, so I didn’t hear anything.”

Jin Feifan paused, his face turning pale as his anxiety returned: “It can’t be that I was the only one who heard it. I felt like it was quite loud.”

Her roommate was really a scaredy-cat.

Qiao Sang looked at the frightened Jin Feifan and paused before asking, “What time did you hear it? Let me think about it.”

Jin Feifan thought for a moment and replied, “Around 7:40 p.m.”

Qiao Sang reflected for a moment. At that time, she had been on the sports field training Yaobao and had not heard anything…

Wait a second…

Qiao Sang’s facial expression stiffened.

The terrifying scream from a horror movie couldn’t possibly have been her, could it?

“Did you remember anything?” Jin Feifan asked hopefully.

“Haha, no.”

…

After finishing a day’s training in the afternoon, Qiao Sang was about to leave when someone called out to her.

“Teacher Qin, what’s up?” she approached the wall and inquired.

“How do you feel about the training these past two days?” Qin Wen asked back with a smile.

“I feel like I’ve gotten tanner,” Qiao Sang answered seriously.

Back at home, when she trained, she always stayed in the shade. Since coming here, she mostly spent her time in the blazing sun on the sports field. She felt like she had become a shade darker in just two days.

Qin Wen: “…”

Who asked you about that!

After a few seconds of silence, she said, “You can teach your Treasure-seeking Ghost a skill called ‘Black Curtain.’ It can cloak things in shadow, it’s used for shielding, and it doesn’t cause any harm when used on a person.”

“Xun.”

Xiao Xunbao blinked its eyes.

“Okay,” Qiao Sang nodded.

That was not urgent. She would wait until Xiao Xunbao’s first month was up and it could start training.

“You’ve already contracted two Pet Beasts, and one of them is a mid-level beast. It’s not quite suitable for you to train with the freshmen anymore. Gather at Training Ground 5 at 8 a.m. tomorrow morning. From now on, you will train with the sophomore team.” Qin Wen got straight to the point, without beating around the bush.

Qiao Sang’s eyes lit up. It turned out the teacher had considered everything!

“Actually, you should have joined the sophomore team yesterday, but they’ve been on a task these past few days, and they only just got back this afternoon.” Qin Wen continued.

“Task?” Qiao Sang asked curiously.

“Yes, there’s a difference between sophomores and freshmen. Those who can make it into the sophomore team all have two mid-level Pet Beasts, exceptional students. Besides basic training, we also have them take on some tasks from the Beast Taming Association to get some practice.”

“Even though our combat group has six people, individual combat and team combat are different. We require students in individual combat to take on solo tasks, while those in team combat are given team tasks.”

“When you get there, it’ll be the same. The current coach for the sophomore team is Teacher Zheng Guoping, whom you should have met during your special admission process,” Qin Wen said with a smile.

Qiao Sang thought for a moment and asked, “Is that the teacher who served as the referee?”

“No,” Qin Wen paused, “It’s the one with the particularly loud voice and the particularly bad temper.”

Qiao Sang: “…”

“But he’s a really good person,” Qin Wen added.
