Beast Taming: Starting From Zero

The first page of the Beast Taming Codex displayed Yabao.

Qiao Sang, who initially wanted to check Little Treasure's ghostfire essence data first, immediately paused, her gaze sweeping over the new set of data before her.

Points: 8552

Since Yabao had been at school, destructive skills couldn’t be practiced freely. However, thanks to his clones, most of his skills had rapidly advanced to the peak of Ultimate level.

Qiao Sang, having reviewed the data daily, skimmed through familiar information and focused on the three newly acquired skills.

Explosive Flame Bullet, Scorching Wind, Lava Purgatory... Qiao Sang fell into deep thought.

Wow, all rare fire-type skills…

She was only familiar with Scorching Wind, a high-tier fire skill that attacks with a hot gust and has a chance to burn the target. The other two were completely new to her.

Exploding Flame Bomb, judging from the name, it likely involved gathering flames into a projectile attack.

As for Lava Purgatory… she’d have to look it up later. With that, Qiao Sang abandoned further speculation and turned the page to check on Little Treasure's data.

Skipping over unnecessary details, she directly checked its Will-o'-the-wisp data.

[Will-o'-the-wisp (Advanced 1123/5000) +]

[Will-o'-the-wisp (Advanced 1832/5000) +]

[Will-o'-the-wisp (Advanced 2109/5000) +]

Qiao Sang’s eyes lit up. As expected, the effects of the Ghostfire Eseence were impressive, the Will-o'-the-wisp data was increasing just like when Little Treasure had absorbed emotional energy before, rising almost every second.

The difference was that back then, its level would increase by 1 or 2 points at a time, whereas now, Will-o'-the-wisp was jumping by hundreds each second. The growth rate was staggering.

Realizing that Little Treasure had successfully absorbed the Ghostfire Essence, Qiao Sang returned to reality.

Opening her eyes, she immediately saw Little Treasure's entire body glowing red, like a boiled shrimp.

The next second, the Gem on Lubao’s forehead lit up, casting a Healing Light onto him.

The blue light faded, and Little Treasure's body returned to his normal color.

But soon after, he turned red again.

Blue light-recovery-red again. Blue light-recovery-red again… This cycle repeated over and over.

Watching from the side, Qiao Sang’s heart pounded with fear, worried that if Lubao was even a second late, Little Treasure might be fully cooked.

No one mentioned this side effect of consuming Ghostfire Essence… Qiao Sang felt a bit anxious, but recalling Lubao’s Healing Light, she calmed down.

After an unknown amount of time, the Lava Beast stopped vomiting, though it lay weakly on the ground.

"Xun…”

Little Treasure slowly opened his eyes, wiped the nonexistent sweat off his forehead, and let out a fearful expression recalling the ordeal.

Qiao Sang checked the Beast Taming Codex and saw Will-o'-the-wisp data had changed to (Ultimate 12233/20000). Returning to reality, she pointed at the remaining Ghostfire Essence on the ground and asked,

“Want to absorb a bit more?”

“Xun! Xun!”

Little Treasure frantically shook his head.

Too terrifying! No way!

Seeing this, Qiao Sang didn’t push further. Will-o'-the-wisp had already evolved from Advanced to Ultimate, a significant breakthrough.

For a normal Beast Tamer without cheats, even a ghost-type pet with top-tier talent would need several years to train a mid-tier skill to Ultimate level.

Yabao had successfully evolved, the Ghostfire Essence was collected, and Little Treasure had absorbed it, saving tons of training time. Tonight had been a perfect success… Qiao Sang was satisfied.

Then, she suddenly thought of something and turned to look at the Lava Beast.

What should she do with this Lava Beast? She couldn’t just send it back…

“Lava…”

Sensing her gaze, the Lava Beast nervously backed away.

It remembered that terrifying pet was captured by this human in front of it…

“Um…” Qiao Sang started to speak.

“Lava!”

Before she could finish, the Lava Beast abruptly turned around and bolted at full speed, vanishing into the distance in the blink of an eye.

Qiao Sang: …

Fine. That works too.

She picked up her phone, checked the time, past midnight.

Then, recalling something, she formed a seal with her hands and summoned Yabao.

“Yap!”

As soon as Yabao appeared, he let out a proud roar.

A powerful air current swirled around his body.

“Yabao.” Qiao Sang called.

“Yap?”

Hearing the voice, Yabao looked around, no one in sight. He tilted his head in confusion.

Where was his Beast Tamer?

“Lower your head a bit more.” Qiao Sang instructed.

“Yap?”

Yabao lowered his head, still seeing nothing.

Qiao Sang twitched her lips.

“Step back and lower your head again.”

“Yap!”

Yabao took a big step back, lowered his head further, finally spotting her. He let out a cheerful cry.

The lightweight miniaturization bracelet was truly a great invention… Looking at Yabao’s massive form, Qiao Sang deeply appreciated its usefulness.

Without it, forget about keeping a pet in the room, training would be a nightmare.

No wonder General-tier pets were rarely seen on city streets. With their sheer size, even a small movement could cause major accidents.

Qiao Sang gathered her thoughts and said, “Yabao, you’re too big now. Without the lightweight miniaturization bracelet, you can’t fit in the hotel room. For now, stay in the Beast Taming Codex. I’ll order a new one online.”

“Don’t worry, even if I can’t get one immediately, it’ll only be two days at most. Once I finish my business, I’ll find a house big enough for you.”

“Yap!”

Yabao wasn’t upset. He wagged his tail, indicating his understanding.

No choice, he had simply become too mighty and majestic.

Growing up was great… With a satisfied smile, Qiao Sang waved her hand, recalling him into the Codex.

2:03 AM

Sota Hotel, Room 3406.

Qiao Sang leaned against the headboard, submitting her application for a lightweight miniaturization bracelet.

To qualify, a pet’s size had to exceed 6 meters, Yabao met the requirement.

After submitting, she opened her chat app, intending to set up a meeting with the Beast Tamer who owned the SS-class Yin Dynasty Pearl.

But just as she typed the first character, she hesitated and exited the chat.

The Ghostfire Essence had only appeared tonight, contacting him immediately would be too suspicious. Better to wait.

Then, she recalled something else and opened the search engine, typing in ExplodingFlame Bullet.

A page loaded:

[Exploding Flame Bullet: A high-tier fire skill. Gathers fire into a bomb-like attack, dealing damage and potentially causing burns.]

As expected.

She scrolled down and searched for Lava Purgatory.

A post popped up:

[Lava Purgatory: A super-tier fire skill…]

Qiao Sang’s gaze locked onto the words super-tier, unable to look away.

Ultra-tier?

Ultra-tier?!
