Beast taming, starting from zero point
Chapter 493 - 458: A Letter?

Chapter 493: Chapter 458: A Letter?

Watching the results of the competition, the audience was incredibly excited, even though it was as expected.

"This Spectral-type Pet is amazing, it even knows skills like the Ill-Fortune Curse!"

"Hahaha, that just killed me. The constant coughing of that ironhead rhino earlier must have been caused by the Ill-Fortune Curse, right?"

"It’s my first time seeing a Spectral-type Pet perform a curse skill. Just one look and it’s done, how can anyone defend against that!"

"Are all curse skills like this? They take effect immediately after being cast?"

"Not all, I guess. The last time I saw a Hazy Ghost cast a curse skill, it passed through the target’s body and took about ten minutes to take effect."

"Where did you see that?"

"Heh, I was swindled out of 2000 bucks by someone I knew. The police said the amount wasn’t enough to make a case, so out of anger, I just rented a Hazy Ghost to curse the scammer."

"Er, renting a Hazy Ghost costs more than 2000, doesn’t it?"

"Don’t remind me!"

"..."

...

In the competitors’ area.

"Do you have a chance against her?" asked a man who was at least 1.9 meters tall, his muscles swell with power.

"I can only manage a two-for-one trade to win one round, but ultimately, it’s a losing battle," said the boy next to him, whose muscular build could still be seen despite the baggy school uniform.

"Look at the spirit you’ve got," the man said discontentedly.

Despite his dissatisfaction, the man said nothing more, knowing that this was the best possible outcome.

...

Elsewhere.

A man dressed in simple Mori-style clothing exclaimed, "15 years old, three High-Level Pet Beasts, if I hadn’t seen it with my own eyes, I would never believe there could be such a genius in the world."

The boy next to him wearing black-framed glasses twitched his mouth slightly: "You said the same thing to me back in the day."

The man laughed and said,

"Your talent is different from hers; she has Beast Taming Talent, and you have Mechanical Talent. Beast Tamers need to have both their own and their Pet Beasts’ talent to cultivate powerful Pet Beasts, but you’ve only used your talent to achieve it. By focusing all your efforts, it’s possible to cultivate a powerful Mechanical Beast."

"You managed to cultivate a High-Level Mechanical Beast in your second year of high school, something Qiao Sang couldn’t have done."

"Then do you think I can beat her?" asked the boy with the black-framed glasses.

The man pondered for awhile, then decided to change the subject:

"What shall we eat later?"

The boy: "..."

...

At the same time, a middle-aged man sitting in the last row in a tailored suit, sitting upright with a laptop on his knees, said,

"A Ghost Ring Spectre with high talent can awaken curse skills during evolution. Spectral Pet Beasts with irregular colors are indeed extraordinary in some aspects."

He was looking at the data for the Ghost Ring Spectre, and as soon as the relevant information was displayed, he could see the difference between the Ghost Ring Spectre in the arena and ordinary ones.

"Spectral Pets with irregular colors?" the young man sitting to the left, exuding an air of nobility, looked towards the grey figure floating above the girl’s head in the arena.

"To be precise, it’s a partial irregular coloration," the man said. "The main strength of this Ghost Ring Spectre still lies in its control. The recently awakened Mind Headbutt and Ill-Fortune Curse are both beginner-level skills with not much power."

"The Ill-Fortune Curse isn’t an ability that causes misfortune instantly; rather, it brings about an unfortunate event within a certain period of time. At the beginner level, it should happen unexpectedly once within a day."

"That Ironhead Rhino was just too unlucky. The chances of the curse taking effect in a short amount of time right after it’s cast are very small. When you battle Qiao Sang later, if the Ghost Ring Spectre casts Ill-Fortune Curse, just ignore it and focus on the attack."

The young man withdrew his gaze and said indifferently, "Understood."

The man looked at the young man and said seriously,

"She may have three High-Level Pet Beasts, but the national campus Beast Taming competition is 2v2, and even with three High-Level Pet Beasts, she can only send out two for the battle. As one of the only two competitors in the national competition with two High-Level Pet Beasts, you do stand a chance. Don’t disappoint me or your family, got it?"

The young man was silent for a moment, then spoke earnestly,

"I won’t lose."

...

Several rows in front and diagonally across from the boy, a middle-aged man with black hair intermingled with silver strands, looking over fifty, wore a grave expression:

"Everyone else already has three high-level pet beasts, have you still not made up your mind?"

Sitting nearby, a rather handsome young man hesitated, "I already won a national championship when I was in my sophomore year, even if I don’t become the champion this time..."

"What nonsense are you spouting!" the middle-aged man interrupted sharply, "How can you be so foolish to not seize the chance to win again when you have one?"

"But my Paléi Lulu’s energy value hasn’t reached its limit. If I let it evolve now, it will affect its future growth potential!" The boy gathered his courage to argue back, thinking of his own pet beast.

"You only have one year in your senior year, and only one chance to win the national competition for seniors." The middle-aged man frowned, "You will only have access to better resources when you become an Interstellar exchange student if you win the championship."

"When you reach a higher platform later, you will have the opportunity to come into contact with truly rare materials. By then, it won’t be impossible to find those treasures that can enhance Paléi Lulu’s potential."

The young man showed a look of struggle and said with difficulty, "Let me think about it a bit more."

...

6:23 p.m.

Modin Hotel, 15th floor.

Pet Beast Training Ground.

"Xun!"

Xiao Xunbao let out a shriek beside Lubao.

Lubao remained impassive, even looking a bit like it wanted to plug its ears.

"Bingke."

It shook its head at its Beast Tamer.

"Xun..."

Xiao Xunbao wore an expression that said ’how could this be’.

Why isn’t the scare having any effect... Qiao Sang pondered thoughtfully and said:

"Xiao Xunbao, try it on Yaobao."

Xiao Xunbao nodded, then teleported next to Yaobao, who was engrossed in training, and let out a screech sharper than the last:

"Xun!!"

The sound waves rolled and entered Yaobao’s ears.

"Yao!"

Yaobao’s fur bristled instantly, and it reflexively swiped a claw in the direction of the sound.

"Slap!"

Unexpectedly knocked to the ground, Xiao Xunbao rolled several meters away.

"Xun..."

"Bingke." Injuries during training were common, and Lubao nonchalantly cast Healing Light toward Xiao Xunbao.

"Xun!"

Once the blue light faded, Xiao Xunbao was fully revived.

It seemed that the skill of scaring was most effective when the target was unprepared. However, Lubao had no reaction at all, which might also be due to its evolution relying on emotional fluctuations, resulting in a stronger inner being... Qiao Sang silently analyzed the training session that just took place.

Just then, a greyish-black pet beast with red pupils and small horns protruding from its snout floated in from the giant panoramic window.

"Li Li." The greyish-black beast seemed to recognize Qiao Sang and drifted straight to her, handing over a letter.

Qiao Sang was taken aback, "For me?"

"Li Li." The greyish-black beast nodded and then turned to float back out through the window.

Who would suddenly send me a letter... Filled with curiosity, Qiao Sang opened it:

[Hello, I am Yu Ke, the one who sat next to you at the last auction. I was wondering if you have time to chat. If you are willing, you can add me]

[My contact information is 150099...]
