Beast taming, starting from zero point

Chapter 98: Chapter 94: You Want a Free Ride?

The Alliance divides skills into five tiers.

Low-level, intermediate-level, high-level, super-level, and divine-level.

There is a clear and noticeable difference between them, whether in terms of energy consumption or power magnitude.

Low-level and intermediate-level skills are quite common, and many pet beasts may only be able to exhibit skills of these two levels throughout their lives.

Apart from studying the relevant secret manuals, a pet beast’s eagerness to learn skills is important, but what matters most is its talent.@@novelbin@@

There’s a saying that goes like this.

“Talent determines the ceiling, effort determines the floor.”

Sometimes, even with the best resources, if a pet beast doesn’t have the right talent, it can’t evolve to the upper limit of its species.

The same goes for learning skills.

Logically speaking, considering high-level skills is something pet beasts should start to contemplate only after they have evolved to a higher rank.

Of course, after so many years of development in the Beast Taming society, there have been cases of intermediate-level pet beasts mastering high-level skills.

But such occurrences are definitely recorded in the annals of pet beast prodigies.

There have been cases of intermediate-level pet beasts learning high-level skills, but there has never been an instance of a low-level pet beast doing so.

At least Qiao Sang has never heard of it.

Looking at the Fire-Toothed Dog in front of her, brimming with fighting spirit, Qiao Sang was somewhat worried.

She was gratified that the Fire-Toothed Dog was so positive, but some things can’t be achieved with attitude alone.

Even though she recognized and highly approved of the Fire-Toothed Dog’s talent, some things really shouldn’t be approached with blind confidence.

However, thinking this, Qiao Sang still squatted down, patted the Fire-Toothed Dog’s head, and said with a smile, “Okay, I’ll find a way.”

Discouraging education won’t do.

It’s only right for Beast Tamers to work in unison towards a common goal with their pet beasts.

“But you can’t neglect your regular skill release training,” Qiao Sang added.

Actually, there’s still plenty of time right now; training the Fire-Toothed Dog was the only thing she had to do.

Moreover, the Fire-Toothed Dog saved a lot of time by practicing skill release with its doppelganger.

Even when the F-rank Energy Recovery Potion arrives, she estimated that it would take only about an hour a day to finish training.

There was so much time left for other endeavors.

Of course, effort is one thing, but whether it can be realized is another.

“Yaobao!”

The Fire-Toothed Dog’s eyes lit up; it nodded seriously and then trotted over to the backpack to search for milk.

It wanted milk! It wanted to train!

…

6:10 PM.

At the dinner table.

Ye Ranran was animatedly sharing her experiences of the day.

“You have no idea, all of our colleagues were about to drop their jaws; we went there prepared to sacrifice for the cause, yet we found victory handed to us on a plate. Who could have expected the person to be tied up and ready for us.”

“If it weren’t for Qiao Sang still being a child, our Captain Zhang would probably have recruited her directly into the police force,” she continued.

Jing Wen put down the book in her hand and looked at Qiao Sang, surprised, “Your observational skills are unmatched; maybe you should consider becoming a Breeder in the future.”

Ye Ranran argued, “With such insight, she should be a police officer.”

The uncle, who had been mostly quiet at the table, spoke up, “Ah Sang is a promising seedling for a Professional Beast Tamer; it’d be a pity not to pursue it.”

The aunt, bringing out steaming dishes, laughed and said, “Why talk about something so distant? The most important thing for her age is to study well.”

Normally, Qiao Sang would certainly have been modest and diverted the topic of conversation.

But with her mind preoccupied with how to help the Fire-Toothed Dog train Mars Rain, she hadn’t joined in the discussion.

“Ah Sang, how long do you plan to stay here?” the uncle suddenly asked.

If such a remark came from a less familiar relative, it might easily give the impression that they were thinking about when one would leave, but Qiao Sang didn’t have any additional thoughts when it was her third uncle who said it.

Qiao Sang thought for a moment and said, “I’m not sure. Unless something unexpected happens, I should stay until the start of school.”

“In half a month, there’s going to be a marathon relay race in town. It’s for teams of three, and I’m one short. If you’re interested, I can help you sign up,” her third uncle said.

Qiao Sang gave her third uncle a surprised look.

Who would have thought her third uncle was still so robust that he was even participating in a marathon?

Perhaps Qiao Sang’s expression was too telling, for her third uncle added, “It’s a Pet Beast relay race. Only Beast Tamers with at least two pet beasts can participate.”

Qiao Sang: “…”

She was overthinking it…

Besides the beast taming battles and glamorous coordination competitions, there were all sorts of contests in society.

It was like the summer and winter Olympics of the previous life, where countries sent contestants to compete in various events, except now the competitors were all pet beasts.

“If you’re still short on people by then, just call me,” Qiao Sang said.

She wasn’t averse to participating in such activities.

The Fire-Toothed Dog could be counted on for its perseverance, but Xiao Xunbao was a genuine newborn, and if it were to compete, it would likely secure a firm spot in last place.

“Okay.”

After his reply, her third uncle went back to eating his meal, no longer continuing the conversation.

After dinner, Qiao Sang returned to her room, turned on her computer and logged onto Chao Bo.

The Fire-Toothed Dog, adept at it, turned on the TV and started searching for the sports channel to watch. Recently, watching battle competitions had become one of its hobbies.

Qiao Sang had just logged onto her account and unexpectedly discovered that she now had over 110,000 followers.

She had only verified her Chao Bo account two days ago. Could it be that Song Yuan had bought her followers?

But when she got the Fire-Toothed Dog’s picture and topic text ready to post, she realized she had been thinking too much.

[Grabbing a front-row seat]

[Ahhh, finally waited for you!]

[Yaobao looks so cool!]

[Is this the rookie Beast Tamer praised by Sha Duo?]

[Is this the rookie Beast Tamer praised by Gao Xulu?]

[Winning with a Fire Attribute Beast among F-rank Beast Tamers isn’t so amazing, I could do it too]

[You finally posted on Chao Bo! I’ve been waiting for two days!]

[Sha Duo said you could participate in the regional competitions, I’m going to follow you early and see if I can witness the rise of a new star]

Most of the comments were from people who came because of Sha Duo and Gao Xulu.

These people probably hadn’t watched the Bai Xinsai; they just saw clips of Sha Duo and Gao Xulu praising her and decided to follow her.

Given Sha Duo’s and Gao Xulu’s popularity, it wasn’t strange at all for her to gain tens of thousands of followers overnight.

After reading a few comments, Qiao Sang closed Chao Bo and opened the forum.

[How can I train Mars Rain?]

Since she had promised the Fire-Toothed Dog, she had to start taking action and figure something out.

Obviously, eating super invincible hot chicken wings was not the answer.

The original purpose of eating the hot chicken wings was to get the Fire-Toothed Dog’s internal fire element energy flowing and active.

As for the skill of Mars Rain, it was essentially about a Fire Attribute Beast firing an Energy Sphere condensed of fire element energy into the sky, which would explode mid-air and release a massive amount of energy that attacks from above.

How to condense the Energy Sphere, how to release it successfully in the air, how to control the explosion of the Energy Sphere in the sky.

These were all challenges to be addressed.

The internet was truly a gathering place for countless net-addicted youngsters. The moment she posted the question, Qiao Sang saw a reply the next second.

[Are you trying to get something for nothing?]
