Beast taming, starting from zero point
Chapter 845 - 732: Is This Reasonable?

Chapter 845: Chapter 732: Is This Reasonable?

Beast Taming Department, Class One.

The middle-aged man with the gaunt face was lecturing from the podium:

"Some pet beasts have multiple attributes, but there’s always a distinction between main and sub-attributes. Generally speaking, for a pet beast to learn skills related to its sub-attributes, it’s much more difficult than learning those related to its main attribute."

"Sometimes, blindly making your pet beast learn powerful skills or incessantly acquiring new skills is not the right choice for those who aspire to stand out among professional beast tamers."

"Mastering one skill to the utmost or combining two skills of different attributes can be far stronger than focusing on learning powerful skills or continuously teaching your pet beast new ones."

"A pet beast’s energy is limited, and your prime years are now."

"I hope that in the future, you can distinguish between primary and secondary skills, discard the useless ones, and spend time on skills that can easily form combo skills for your pet beasts."

With that, he made a seal gesture with his hands.

The purple Star Array lit up.

Soon, a pet beast about twenty centimeters in size, mostly green in color, with short limbs and ears about half the size of its face, covered in sharp spikes, appeared on the podium.

The middle-aged man introduced:

"This Thistle Needle of mine has reached a minor achievement in skill proficiency."

Saying this, he looked at the Thistle Needle: "Show them."

"Thistle!"

The Thistle Needle called out.

Immediately thereafter, more than a dozen sharp green needle-like objects appeared out of thin air.

"Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh!"

The thistle needles shot out rapidly.

The whole class followed the direction of the thistle needles.

When they were about a meter away from the wall at the back of the lecture hall, the thistle needles halted for a moment before falling to the ground, not continuing forward.

"This is the current maximum distance that Thistle Needle can shoot its needles," the middle-aged man said, and nodded at the Thistle Needle.

"Thistle!"

The Thistle Needle understood its beast tamer’s intention.

It called out, and once again, more than a dozen sharp green needle-like objects appeared out of thin air.

The needle-like objects shot out.

The Thistle Needle puffed up its cheeks and blew out a wild gust of wind.

The wind speed instantly caught up with the green needle-like objects.

"Bang, bang, bang!"

The thistle needles accelerated and then embedded deeply into the wall at the back of the lecture hall.

"The proficiency of Thistle Needle at the minor achievement stage can only shoot to the distance you saw before, but by adding the wind blowing skill, both the shooting speed and distance are significantly enhanced," the middle-aged man explained as he waved his hand, recalling the Thistle Needle back into the Beast Taming Codex: "This is a combo skill."

"Of course, this is just the most basic and fundamental. In our next class, we’ll be outdoors, and I hope by then, everyone will be able to demonstrate their own combo skills."

During the break, an upperclassman from the maintenance department walked into the classroom, efficiently instructing her accompanying pet beast to repair the dozen needle holes in the wall.

Qiao Sang was sitting at her desk, pen in hand, considering combo skills on her notebook.

Initially, when she had participated in the national campus Beast Taming League, she had researched combo skills.

Yaobao had Doppelganger; its skill proficiency increased rapidly, and once it reached a certain degree of proficiency, combining them wasn’t difficult.

But not being difficult didn’t mean it was suitable.

Back then, she directly and crudely made Yaobao use Doppelganger with various skills, or used Psychic Control to direct its attack skills, much like Counter-Protective Barrier 2.0.

Thinking about it now, with Yaobao having so many more skills, there might be more suitable combinations to consider.

Qiao Sang pondered; Yaobao’s Attack Power was already strong, and its skill proficiency also increased rapidly. At present, it didn’t seem necessary to rely on combo skills to enhance the power of its abilities.

Xun Bao’s Dark Magic Shadow was nearing advanced stages and it could cast hundreds of illusions.

If it could use other skills in conjunction with Dark Magic Shadow, then the Attack Power should be able to increase exponentially.

Especially when Dark Magic Shadow was paired with Shadow Control.

In fact, the power of Shadow Control was greatly related to the pet beast’s size.

The larger the body, the bigger the shadow.

Whether it was in 2D Mode or Three-Dimensional Mode of Shadow Control, the larger the pet beast’s size, the greater the distance and area of effect it could cover, and the stronger the control power would be.

Xun Bao had not exposed this weakness when using this skill thus far, mainly because it could Teleport, moving directly close to the target or the target’s shadow.

However, Xun Bao was recently practicing Spatial Closure, and its proficiency in Dark Magic Shadow was still too low. It definitely wouldn’t reach the level where it could show off in class tomorrow...

As she was thinking, the voice of Dorothy from nearby rang out:

"Now that those upperclassmen no longer challenge you, don’t you plan to challenge those ranked above you?"

"Who says no one challenges me? There’s still one here," Qiao Sang said, taking out her phone and fiddling with it for a moment.

Then she saw that the page for accepting challenges, which had originally shown one person, was now blank.

Qiao Sang: "..."

"Let’s wait a little longer before challenging," Qiao Sang said, putting her phone down as if nothing had happened.

She had too many tasks to handle during this period, and challenging the top hundred ranking members offered no tangible benefits besides a higher rank and the chance to exchange for a fancier dorm, which seemed unnecessary.

She had already rented a villa off-campus, and she would be returning to Blue Star after this semester; changing dorms seemed pointless.

Hearing this, Dorothy’s expression showed she had more to say but held back.

She was eager to see Qiao Sang thrash their upperclassmen immediately, but the latter was not in a hurry.

If anyone else had this strength, they would have already challenged the top three on the leaderboard to increase their points, but Qiao Sang seemed to have no such plan.

At that moment, Dorothy suddenly remembered the other was an Intergalactic Exchange Student; indeed, earning or not earning points was not important for her.

Her face turned sour as she thought, ’The admissions office must definitely have spies from Blue Star...’

...

The bell for the last class of the afternoon rang.

The teacher dismissed the class on time.

Qiao Sang looked towards the floating dark flower.

Xiao Xunbao, with its paws holding the dark flower, appeared, its eyes glowing blue, about to perform Spatial Movement.

"Ya Ya!"

Just then, Yaobao, as if it had smelled something delicious, sniffed the air and showed an excited expression.

"Wait," Sang Jianzhuang said.

"Xun Xun..." Xiao Xunbao’s eyes stopped glowing blue.

"Let’s see what delicious thing it is," Qiao Sang said to Yaobao with a smile.

There were many delicacy shops related to pet beasts in Yuliandun, and every time they walked through the campus, Yaobao and the others would always be attracted by some kind of food. As for Qiao Sang, she was always willing to buy whatever they wanted to eat.

After all, the time when she was the richest wasn’t going to last much longer.

"Ya Ya!"

Upon hearing this, Yaobao immediately wagged its tail, revealing a happy expression.

It then jumped off its Beast Tamer’s knees and led the way.

Qiao Sang followed Yaobao out of the classroom and took the elevator down.

Hmm? Why isn’t this the direction of the food street... After walking for about five minutes, a doubt flashed through Qiao Sang’s mind.

At this moment, Yaobao’s eyes lit up, and it suddenly quickened its pace.

Soon, it stopped under a towering tree.

Under the tree, an elder with white hair and wearing a black soft cap was feeding a red bird pet beast with fluffy black feathers on its tail.

"Ya Ya!"

Yaobao called out excitedly, indicating that the thing smelled wonderful.

This person looks familiar, seems like I’ve seen him somewhere before... red Energy Pills... Qiao Sang was startled when she saw the elder’s appearance, but she quickly looked down and was surprised to see what he was holding in his hand.

She had seen many commercial and specially ordered Energy Pills, but they were mostly brown or black. This was the first time she had seen red Energy Pills.

"Hello, may I ask where you bought these from?" Qiao Sang approached and asked.

Yaobao wagged its tail, full of anticipation.

The elder looked up at Qiao Sang, showing a kindly smile, "These aren’t bought; I made them myself."

He offered the Energy Pills to Yaobao:

"If you want to eat, try this."

Although Yaobao was very eager, it didn’t eat immediately but looked towards its Beast Tamer.

Qiao Sang nodded.

"Ya Ya!"

Only then did Yaobao excitedly lower its head and take a bite.

Qiao Sang wasn’t sure if it was her imagination, but she felt that after Yaobao consumed the Energy Pill, the Flame Wings on either side of its body suddenly surged and expanded a bit.

"Do you like it?" the elder asked.

"Ya Ya!"

Yaobao’s eyes shone brightly, and it wagged its tail wildly.

It liked it!

"Xun Xun!"

Seeing Yabao Big Brother looking very pleased, Xiao Xunbao also appeared and called out, indicating it wanted to try too.

The elder seemed to understand what Xiao Xunbao meant, maintaining his smile, he said, "These Energy Pills are only suitable for Fire Attribute Beasts. If you want to eat, I can make some others for you."

Qiao Sang suddenly thought of something and asked, "How many points would this cost?"

The elder’s face twitched a bit, but he quickly managed to keep a composed expression,

"No points necessary, but I usually might not have much time. You can come to me, and I’ll teach you how to make them."

This... Qiao Sang hesitated.

Making Energy Pills was clearly a big task and would take quite some time...

Immediately after, she thought of something else and asked, "Then, how many points do I need to learn how to make Energy Pills?"

The elder’s mouth twitched slightly again, and he said,

"No points needed for that either."

What a good person... Qiao Sang felt moved inside.

Who said that everything in Yuliandun University required points?

"Ya Ya!"

Yaobao wagged its tail, looking expectantly at its own Beast Tamer.

Seeing Yaobao’s hopeful expression, Qiao Sang no longer hesitated and asked, "May I know how to address you?"

The elder smiled and said, "Linus Berg."

Shit, I remember now... Isn’t this the dean of the Breeding Academy... Qiao Sang showed a stunned expression.

I saw him sitting up there in the hall of the welcome area, among those nine heavyweight figures!

He’s going to teach me how to make Energy Pills?

And it doesn’t require points?

Does that make any sense?

Qiao Sang was dazed for a moment.

Could it be that I really caught the great man’s eye?

Or did he see some extraordinary talent for becoming a Breeder in me?
