1220. Chapter 1215: Sleep and then get up (two in one)
Give it a try? Qiao Sang looked at Qingbao.
“Qingqing.” Qingbao noticed his beastmaster’s gaze and nodded, indicating he’d give it a try.
With that, he closed his eyes and began communicating with the wind.
A sudden breeze rose around him.
Three seconds later, Qingbao opened his eyes, blinked, and called out,
“Qingqing?”
What did the Sun Crystal look like?
Qiao Sang’s mouth twitched. He picked up his phone from the table, searched for an image of the Sun Crystal, and placed it in front of him.
“It looks like this.”
“Qingqing.”
Qingbao studied it carefully for a few moments, nodded, and then closed his eyes to continue communicating with the wind.
The sudden gust of wind swirled and blew out the door.
“Qingqing.”
Qingbao opened his eyes and called out, indicating communication was complete.
With that, he continued to eat his energy pills.
“That’s it?” Qiao Sang couldn’t help but grumble, but she said nothing, simply eating her food.
She had no hope of the wind finding the Sun Crystal.
But if it could strengthen Qingbao’s communication with the wind, it wouldn’t be bad.
After breakfast, Qiao Sang instructed Xiao Xunbao and Tingbao to stop playing around and focus on finding a match, then took Yabao to the open-air training ground.
Qingbao took the opportunity to cast a clone and followed Xiao Xunbao and Tingbao.
“Yabao?”
Upon arriving at the open-air training ground, Yabao called out with a puzzled expression, indicating that he wasn’t going on a mission today.
“First, let’s see if the power of your Holy Fire has improved,” Qiao Sang said, signaling with his eyes to Gangbao.
Gangbao understood and plucked one of his own feathers.
Qiao Sang took the steely purple feather and said,
“Burn it with Holy Fire.”
With that, he quickly entered the Beast Taming Codex, flipped to the page about Yabao, and increased his Holy Fire proficiency to Minor Success.
As his consciousness returned to reality, Yabao exhaled golden flames from his mouth, striking the purple feather.
Instantly, the steel-like feather was reduced to ashes.
“Holy crap, so powerful…” Qiao Sang’s heart trembled, and he let go.
Although she had expected a minor level of Sacred Fire to produce a burning sensation, potentially injuring the target, she had never imagined it could actually incinerate the target!
Steel’s feathers were, after all, the hardness of any King-level pet’s material, and yet, such feathers could be burned away like that. And
that was just a minor level of Sacred Fire…
Lu, who was training, feigned casual attention, her pupils narrowing slightly.
“Steel Chief…”
Steel stared at the spot where the feathers had once been, stunned.
Ya, too, was stunned for a moment, then, with an expression of excitement, called out,
“Ya Ya!”
Its Sacred Fire could now attack!
“It seems your Sacred Fire proficiency has indeed improved,” Qiao Sang said with a smile, gathering his thoughts.
“Ya Ya!”
Ya wagging its tail, barked happily, signaling that it was time to get back to the task and continue practicing Sacred Fire.
“I’m afraid that won’t work,” Qiao Sang said.
“Ya Ya?”
Ya called out, puzzled, wondering why.
“Because your Holy Fire is now capable of causing damage,” Qiao Sang patiently explained. “If you don’t control it properly, it could damage the target during purification.”
“Ya Ya…”
Ya Bao instantly imagined himself purging the curse and burning the cursed target.
He quickly shook his head to dismiss the image, a worried look on his face as he called out,
“Ya Ya?”
How would he practice this skill next?
Qiao Sang pondered for a moment and said,
“You have to learn how to control it first.”
“Ya Ya?”
Ya Bao called out, indicating how to control it.
“Wait a minute,” Qiao Sang said, then shouted, “Teacher!”
With the Imperial Beast Taming Academy’s teachers nearby, she didn’t have to worry about these issues.
Almost two seconds after the shout, Michaela appeared out of thin air beside and asked, “What’s wrong?”
“Yabao’s sacred fire has just produced a burning sensation.” Qiao Sang said, “I want to ask how to control it so as not to hurt others when purifying the curse.”
Michaela was stunned and confirmed:
“The sacred fire has produced a burning sensation? Just now?”
Qiao Sang said “hmm”: “Just now, Yabao used the sacred fire to burn Gangbao’s feathers directly.”
It seems that the sacred fire has entered the next stage… Calm down, calm down, this is very reasonable for Qiao Sang and Yabao… Michaela comforted herself in her heart and tried to calm down, but still couldn’t help asking:
“How did you practice the sacred fire these two days? Just to purify the curse?”
“And let Yabao’s clone stay at home to practice the sacred fire.” Qiao Sang replied.
Even if she didn’t say it, Michaela knew about it.
The fact that practicing skills with clones can increase proficiency has been studied by research institutes in the past, and relevant research reports have indeed been published. However, it is still too outrageous that a super-level skill that is almost a god-level skill can increase proficiency after just a few days of practice… Mikaela took a deep breath, barely suppressing the shock in her heart, and said:
“If you want to avoid hurting others when purifying the curse, you can only increase your proficiency again through continuous practice until you have complete control.”
After a pause, she continued:
“Before Yabao can fully control whether to purify or attack, the task of lifting the curse should not be carried out anymore.”
To increase proficiency, it seems that the only way is to practice and increase points… Qiao Sang nodded:
“I understand.”
After Teacher Mikaela left, Qiao Sang said:
“Then let’s start practicing.”
“Ya Ya!”
Yabao cried out, and immediately unleashed hundreds of clones, spreading across the open-air training grounds, spewing out golden flames.
The golden flames were no longer warm, but instead felt unbearably scorching.
The moment the flames erupted, the air distorted.
“Qingqing…”
Qingbao, controlling his clones from a distance, couldn’t help but float to Lubao’s side.
“Bingdi,”
Lubao felt the sudden rise in temperature around him, frowning slightly. He looked at Yabao in the distance and called out.
“Ya Ya!”
Yabao glanced over and responded.
Then, the Burning Emperor clones surrounding Lubao vanished.
Lubao’s expression softened, and she continued training.
“Let’s go,” Qiao Sang said.
“Ya Ya?” Yabao called out, indicating where they were going. ”Since we don’t have any more missions to do, let’s go check on Xiao Xunbao and Tingbao,” Qiao Sang replied. ”Qingqing,” Qingbao’s eyes
lit up as he heard this from a distance, and he quickly floated back. If we go find them now, Xiao Xunbao will surely be having fun. Qingbao felt a surge of joy at the thought of his beastmaster soon witnessing Little Xunbao playing with Old Six. Meanwhile , on the other side, Little Xunbao brought Tingbao to the food court. ”Tingting?” Just as Little Xunbao was about to enjoy his shopping trip, Tingbao surveyed his surroundings, a puzzled expression on his face. He barked, asking why they weren’t going to the charging station. ”Xunxun~” Little Xunbao barked, indicating that they should play first and then find an opponent. As he spoke, he floated forward. After floating a few meters, he realized that Tingbao hadn’t caught up. He couldn’t help but turn around, floated back, and barked, ”Xunxun?” What’s wrong? ”Tingting.” Tingbao barked, a serious expression on his face, indicating that he felt he should accumulate 200 points before playing. Otherwise, like yesterday, he would be too rushed and afraid he wouldn’t be able to fulfill his beastmaster’s request. ”Xunxun~” Little Xunbao patted his chest and barked, asking if he felt reassured with his boss around. ”Tingting.”
Tingbao stared at it for a moment, then barked honestly.
Worried.
Little Xunbao: “…”
“Xunxun?”
Little Xunbao barked, unwilling to give up.
Are you really not going to give it another try?
“Tingting,”
Tingbao barked, implying that if it didn’t accumulate 200 points, you’d still have to spend time training after returning. Do you really want to train, Boss?
“Xunxun!”
Little Xunbao froze for a moment, then quickly shook his head.
No.
“Xunxun!”
He added, “
I’ll take you to the competition right now.”
Little Xunbao’s eyes glowed blue, and he led Tingbao away from the spot.
…
When Qiao Sang found Little Xunbao and Tingbao using the sensor, he saw Tingbao fighting one against eight, while Little Xunbao cheered for them from beyond the barrier.
He’d thought it was just some fun, but it wasn’t a real competition… Qiao Sang, somewhat surprised, stepped forward and called out,
“Little Xunbao.”
“Xunxun~”
Little Xunbao stiffened at the sound, then realized what he was doing, relaxed, turned around, and barked with a grin.
“Qingqing…”
Qingbao was a bit confused nearby.
He hadn’t expected Little Xunbao to actually bring Tingbao to the competition. He’d assumed they’d go out and play for a while first…
“Did the competition just start?” Qiao Sang asked.
“Xunxun~”
Little Xunbao nodded, spreading his paws with a helpless expression, and barked, indicating that finding eight opponents at once was a bit difficult.
“Good job! I thought you’d take Tingbao out to play first,” Qiao Sang said, watching Tingbao’s competition.
“Xunxun!”
Little Xunbao barked, a look of “How could it be?”
He’d brought Tingbao out to find an opponent the moment he left the house.
Qiao Sang looked at him.
Little Xunbao felt guilty, but he forced himself to keep his eyes on him.
There was still a flaw… Qiao Sang smiled,
“I believe you.”
Little Xunbao breathed a sigh of relief.
“Tingting.”
Within the barrier, Tingbao barked, allowing himself to be assaulted by several concentrated arcs of yellow electricity.
Just as the arcs of lightning concentrated their attack on it, dozens more arcs surged from it, rapidly intersecting into a net that enveloped all the pets in the distance.
Immediately afterwards, a flash of yellow lightning emanated from Tingbao’s body, transforming into a long snake that fiercely struck the pets trapped in the net.
“Boom!”
With a resounding roar, the powerful force of lightning exploded through the lightning net.
Several pets screamed and collapsed, leaving only a single, yellow, spherical pet, staring frantically at the fallen pets around it, seemingly unable to believe it was the only one left.
This pet also possessed the properties of a lightning rod… With just a glance, Qiao Sang understood why this electric pet was still standing.
The same properties as mine… Tingbao instantly determined this.
He quickly flew above the spherical pet, his tail gleaming with a silvery-white glow, and lashed out fiercely.
The spherical pet, in a state of shock and confusion, was unable to dodge and was struck directly, sending it flying backwards and unconscious.
“Xunxun!”
Little Xunbao cried out excitedly.
Seeing this, Qiao Sang smiled and was about to step forward.
“Qingqing,”
Qingbao suddenly called out, announcing the Sun Crystal had been found.
Qiao Sang: “???”
Qiao Sang paused, looked at Qingbao, and asked in disbelief, “Did you really find it?”
“Qingqing,”
Qingbao nodded and called out, confirming that Feng had said so.
At that moment, Qiao Sang’s heartbeat suddenly quickened. He said, “I have something to do, so I’ll leave now,” and followed Qingbao out.
Little Xunbao stared at his beastmaster’s retreating figure, then quickly turned back to his senses and shouted,
“Xunxun!”
Don’t challenge eight more opponents!
Ten minutes later, in a shop.
“Ya Ya…”
Yabao hesitated, feeling the crystal before him.
Qiao Sang fell silent, looking at the red crystal in front of him, priced at 998 Alliance Coins.
“You have excellent taste! We designed this gem based on the Sun Crystal,” the staff member enthusiastically explained. “Look at the luster, the brightness, it’s absolutely… Don’t leave, we have other gems!”
Qiao Sang sighed as he left the shop.
She should have known that finding a Sun Crystal wasn’t so easy.
“Ya Ya?”
Ya Bao called out, suggesting she might have found the wrong one.
Qiao Sang hummed.
“Ya Ya,”
Ya Bao said, giving Qing Bao a look that said, “I’m right.” He glanced at Qing Bao and called out, confirming that he’d found the wrong one.
“Qing Qing,”
Qing Bao said with an innocent expression, saying it was Feng who told him.
As soon as he finished speaking, Feng hovered nearby, as if agreeing.
Qiao Sang warned, “Don’t look at any Sun Crystals for sale in the future; they’re definitely fake.”
Although Feng had found the wrong item, she had indeed found a gem that resembled a Sun Crystal, which rekindled her hope for this possible solution.
“Qing Qing,” Qing Bao nodded, indicating that he understood.
Feng also circled.
…
Time slowly passed.
In the blink of an eye, it was half a month later.
“Boom!”
A bolt of yellow lightning struck from within the barrier. The only remaining Grass-type pet screamed and collapsed.
After the pet wearing the referee’s certificate announced the result, the barrier disappeared.
A virtual panel suddenly appeared above Tingbao:
[Species: Thunder Dragon]
[Level: Intermediate]
[Scores: 3186]
[Rank 655]
“Xunxun!”
Little Xunbao shouted excitedly.
Tingbao smiled and twisted his body to fly over.
However, just as it was halfway through, it suddenly showed a sleepy expression and yawned. Then, it flew to the wall and called out:
“Tingting…”
It took a nap before getting up to compete.
Little Xunbao: “???” (End of this chapter)
