Beast Taming: Starting From Zero

Qiao Sang listened to the hoarse voice on the other end of the phone, silent for a long time before speaking: "Can I ask who told you this news?"

"She said she's the receptionist at the Hongying Beast Battle Club, and I think her surname is Zhou." Wang Yiding replied.

"She called me two minutes ago, and she's the one who gave me your number."

So, it was her... Qiao Sang suddenly felt a pang in her heart.

Two minutes. In just two short minutes, she had lost 200,000 alliance coins...

"Miss Qiao Sang, my Crowned Meow has never left me before. It doesn't even know the way. I'm really worried." Wang Yiding, noticing her silence, anxiously repeated the purpose of his call.

"Did it say anything to you last night?"

"It said that its Beast Master wanted it to learn teleportation and was putting it through a particularly cruel training."

Although Qiao Sang was heartbroken about suddenly losing 200,000 yuan, she still kindly reminded him, "I think that's why it ran away. When you find it, you should probably try a different training method."

"I only wanted it to try some intestinal exercises. I never expected it to resist so much. If I had known, I wouldn't have suggested it!"

Intestinal exercises?

Qiao Sang froze for a moment, then became excited.

Isn't this the same method that Yabao and Little Treasure used to learn teleportation?!

So, it wasn’t just her, other people knew about this method too!

Indeed, teleportation can be learned through intestinal exercise training!

Qiao Sang instantly felt like she'd found a kindred spirit. Just as she was about to ask where he had heard about this method, Wang Yiding's hoarse voice suddenly came through the phone again:

"It's all because of some jerk online! If it weren't for him saying that his two pet beasts both learned teleportation this way, I never would've had my Crowned Meow try it!"

Qiao Sang blinked in surprise, suddenly recalling the private messages she'd received on the forum last night.

Crowned Meow, ran away, intestinal exercises, could it really be that coincidental?

Qiao Sang hesitated.

"Do you remember that jerk's username?"

"Of course I do!" Wang Yiding gritted his teeth.

"GeniusGeniusGeniusAgain. They say that the more someone lacks, the more they want to show off. I bet this guy isn't too bright in real life, judging by his username-"

Before he could finish, Qiao Sang hung up the phone, expressionless.

Shengshui High School.

Training Ground No. 5.

As soon as Qiao Sang walked in, she noticed that the pet beside Wang Yao wasn’t the usual Flame Sparrow

Instead, it was another pet, primarily red, with three chain-like black stripes running from the top of its head and the sides of its head down to its tail.

Qiao Sang recognized it as a Fire Chain Python, an intermediate fire-type pet.

Judging by the way it quietly stood in front of Wang Yao, it was easy to guess that this was her second pet.

But where was the Flame Sparrow?

Qiao Sang wasn’t the only one wondering, Yabao was also confused.

Of all the pets in the group training, the Flame Sparrow was the one he was closest to.

After all, the Flame Sparrow had once given him treats that hid own Beast Master couldn’t afford.

Yes, even now, Yabao thought his Beast Master was very poor.

Curiosity piqued, Qiao Sang walked over.

Just as she approached, Wang Yao, who had been speaking to the Fire Chain Python, turned her head and noticed Little Treasure, whom she had only seen once before.

Although Little Treasure followed Qiao Sang everywhere, he was usually invisible, so Wang Yao had thought Qiao Sang, like the rest of the school team, only had one pet with her while the other was in the pet training center.

"Where’s the Flame Sparrow?" Qiao Sang asked first.

"I took it to the pet training center last night." Wang Yao replied.

"We’re supposed to reduce the number of powerful attacks our pets use and train them to master certain skills, but Little Flame doesn’t like practicing that move, so I brought Little Chain instead."

So that’s how it is... Qiao Sang glanced at the quiet Fire Chain Python beside her and curiously asked, "By the way, why did you contract two fire-type pets?"

Apart from families specializing in a certain attribute, it was rare for a Beast Master to contract pets of the same type.

After all, having pets of different attributes meant more options for future careers or team configurations during competitions.

Of course, contracting pets of the same type also had clear benefits.

With the experience of raising the first pet, the following ones would grow faster than those contracted by others around the same time.

Wang Yao scratched her head in embarrassment.

"When Little Flame was still a Flame Bird, I bought too many materials for beginner fire-type pets. Later, when it evolved into a Flame Sparrow, I still had a ton of materials left over, so I contracted another fire-type pet to avoid wasting them."

Qiao Sang: ...

When it was time for free training, Yabao practiced releasing his Fire Fang skill, while Little Treasure took out materials from his ring to absorb.

Qiao Sang, meanwhile, sat against the wall, scrolling through the news on her phone.

Now that Yabao and Little Treasure both had clear training goals, she didn’t need to worry much.

In the distance, Wang Yao, Shi Gaofeng, and Xu Yajie occasionally glanced her way, full of envy.

Especially Shi Gaofeng, his eyes were practically red with jealousy.

He had never seen anyone dare to play on their phone right under Zheng Baolong's nose. Qiao Sang was the first!

"Meimei, you’ve got to step up. I want to play on my phone out in the open too."

"Meimei..."

Berrythorn beast turned its back on him, not wanting to respond.

He hadn't even finished cleaning the bathroom, yet he still wanted to play on his phone...

While Qiao Sang continued to scroll through her phone, Zheng Guoping approached with a smile.

"Isn't it tiring to train both of your pets at the same time?"

Hearing his voice, Qiao Sang glanced up at him, then turned to look at Yabao, who was diligently training, and Little Treasure, who was focused on absorbing energy.

She turned back with sincere eyes and said, "Not at all."

Zheng Guoping’s eye twitched, realizing that his polite comment had sounded ridiculous.

Who asks someone if they’re tired when they’re clearly playing on their phone?

He coughed awkwardly, then sat down next to Qiao Sang, watching Yabao as he practiced his Fire Fang.

"Your Flame Hound doesn’t have any defensive skills yet, does it?"

"No." Qiao Sang replied.

Fire-type pet skills were almost all offensive, with very few focusing on transformations.

Among the offensive skills, most were special attacks, with some being physical attacks.

Many of these attacks also had a chance to inflict a troublesome burn on the opponent.

In a way, this indirectly increased the pet’s defensive capabilities.

Fire-type pets were all about violence and offense, so they rarely learned pure defensive skills.
