Beast taming, starting from zero point

Chapter 753: Chapter 674: Haven’t You Always Wanted a Competition?

The vacation was doomed to be joyless... Qiao Sang sighed.

Logically, the period between high school graduation and the start of university is supposed to be the most enjoyable time for a student.

But she couldn’t play and have fun without any burdens at the moment.

Since she was entering the Beast Taming Department, battling was certain, and the issue of feeling pain connected with Gangbao during battles had to be solved.

Moreover, there was the matter of knowledge. She had skipped grades to enter university, and with her current level, it might be difficult to follow the university classes. It was best to take advantage of this time and learn as much as she could.

Qiao Sang handed the file in her hand to Xiao Xunbao and instructed,

"Put this thing properly in the ring."

"Xun Xun~"

Xiao Xunbao took it, removed the ring, and carefully looked for a good place before stuffing it inside.

After all this was done, it realized its Beast Tamer was still staring at it, and an ominous premonition arose in its heart for no apparent reason.

"Xun Xun..."

Xiao Xunbao silently drifted to the side, thinking it was best to retreat first.

But just at that moment, its Beast Tamer’s voice rang out: "Xiao Xunbao..."

"Xun Xun..."

Xiao Xunbao stiffened and turned its head obediently.

Contrary to its appearance, however, its mind was extremely rich at this moment.

It hadn’t really done much; it had just played with the computer and typed a few characters. Surely its Beast Tamer wouldn’t make it go to school for that, right?

Please no!

Amidst its anxiety, Qiao Sang spoke up,

"I’ve discovered that you’re simply too clever."

"Xun Xun!"

Being complimented like that made Xiao Xunbao even more nervous. It hurriedly waved its hands, indicating it wasn’t clever at all.

Qiao Sang looked at Xiao Xunbao, her tone growing heavier,

"No, you are clever! To think of using Shadow Control to play on the computer is a training method I’ve never thought of!"

"I’ve decided that from now on, I won’t restrict your time on the computer at night. However, I have one requirement, which is that you must play while using Shadow Control, and you must reapply Shadow Control every minute."

The proficiency of a skill increases according to the number of times it’s used. Continuously maintaining Shadow Control while playing would only increase the count by one point, but repeatedly applying it in quick succession is completely different; the count would add up every minute.

Xiao Xunbao was taken aback by its Beast Tamer’s unconventional approach, its face a mix of joy and confusion.

"Xun Xun!"

After being dazed for a few seconds, it excitedly floated next to Qiao Sang, happily rubbing against her face.

Not having to go to school and still being able to play on the computer was simply too good!

After arranging things for Xiao Xunbao, Qiao Sang opened the chat interface with Elma, briefly explained her situation, and sent the message.

Elma replied quickly:

[Based on what you’ve said, it indeed sounds like the first phase is over, but the specific details can only be determined through a face-to-face examination.]

[I understand.] After sending this message, Qiao Sang stopped asking further questions.

She opened her chat logs and saw that Tang Yi had sent a few messages:

[（Location）]

[I’ve arrived in the first zone!]

[I was planning to visit Zhizhou University first, but the security said outsiders aren’t allowed to enter. What do they mean by ’outsider’? I’m going to be exchanged there for my first semester of university!]

[（Link）]

[666, on my first day in the first zone, and I already see your Ghost Ring Spectre in the news.]

Qiao Sang glanced at the title of the linked article, finding it to be the one about the morgue incident.

She sent a message to Tang Yi:

[If you participate in a competition here with Paléi Lulu, you can also make the news.]

Tang Yi replied immediately:

[Great God, do you want to join the Pet Beast arena contest in the first zone together?]

Ever since it was confirmed that Qiao Sang was accepted to the Imperial Beastmaster Academy through a recommendation, Tang Yi had started calling her "Great God."

Qiao Sang thought for a moment and typed her response:

[I’ll participate when I have time later, but now my schedule is packed every day.]

She was indeed interested in the Pet Beast tournament, as it was an opportunity to practice real combat skills and to earn money. Sadly, there were still many things she needed to do.

Meanwhile, Tang Yi sat in the spectator seats of the D-rank Beast Tamer Pet Beast tournament, drinking a beverage while looking at the chat interface on his phone.

When he saw the latest message, he couldn’t help but feel melancholic:

Bingke Xilu possesses Healing Light, and back then Qiao Sang could go without sleep for two consecutive months to find time for Pet Beast tournaments. Now that she doesn’t need to attend classes, she somehow lacks time. She’s truly a deity-level figure of the Imperial Beastmaster Academy, not even playing with him anymore...

Just then, Qiao Sang sent another message:

[Here’s my location; this is where I’m staying now. You can come to find me here. Didn’t you always want another match? There’s a suitable venue at my place.]

Tang Yi: "!!!"

Excited, Tang Yi stood up abruptly, only to sit back down under the gaze of others.

He contained his elation and quickly replied:

[I’ll definitely come!!!]

...

At 8:50 pm.

Liu Yao and his Sky Manifest Bat returned to the villa with bags of supplies.

Upon entering, Yaobao, who was in the living room, wagged its tail and fixed its gleaming eyes on him.

Food, it wanted food.

As an A-rank Breeder, Liu Yao was always very popular with Pet Beasts. He didn’t mind and just smiled at Yaobao before heading into his room with the supplies.

"Ya Ya..."

Seeing this, Yaobao’s expression immediately fell.

It wanted to seek comfort from its Beast Tamer, but with its current size, it simply couldn’t enter the room.

"Ya..."

Yaobao sighed.

Just then, Lubao passed by.

It walked past Yaobao expressionlessly, inadvertently glancing at it before slowing down its pace, and began to chant softly, "Bing bing~ Bing~ Bing Bing~".

Invisible sound waves rippled through the air.

Yaobao’s expression gradually shifted from downcast to serene.

"Steel Guardian."

At the open kitchen, Gangbao was feeding chili to a producing stone while observing the scene, thinking calmly:

Actually, Lubao doesn’t dislike Big Brother Yaobao as much as it seems on the surface...

...

In the wee hours.

In the living room.

Xiao Xunbao was playing on the computer excitedly in the dim light.

Although it could play before, its Beast Tamer had always set time restrictions, unlike now where it could keep playing indefinitely.

It cast its Shadow Control skill, typing away and chatting with a new online friend.

Suddenly, it thought of something and looked at the time displayed on the bottom right corner of the screen.

[2:01]

A minute had already passed.

Xiao Xunbao hurriedly deactivated Shadow Control and recast it.

Since its Beast Tamer had allowed it to play on the computer without time limits, it naturally had to meet this requirement!

An hour later, Xiao Xunbao began to feel fatigued, a kind of emptiness that it had never experienced before while playing on the computer.

"Xun Xun..."

After thinking for a moment, Xiao Xunbao took off the ring and pulled out a bottle of B-rank Energy Recovery Potion to drink.

Soon, its energy gradually replenished.

"Xun Xun!"

Reinvigorated, Xiao Xunbao continued to use Shadow Control to play on the computer.
