1231. Chapter 1226 Stimulating Training (Two in One)
What I mean is, you can stay up all night practicing now, but once the competition’s over, you’ll have to sleep tonight.
Tingbao understood, his eyes lighting up, and he quickly nodded:
“Tingting!”
Then, happily, he wrapped his tail around his Beastmaster’s body and tossed him up.
Qiao Sang was caught off guard, but then he reacted and smiled. He spun around, landing steadily on the ground. He controlled his facial expression and said in a steady tone,
“Stop playing for a while, let’s train.”
“Tingting.” Tingbao nodded seriously.
Then, he looked at the Beastmaster in front of him, paused for a moment as a thought struck him, and called out:
“Tingting?”
You want to stay too?
“Of course,” Qiao Sang smiled. “I’m your Beastmaster. Besides, do you know how to practice thunderstorms?”
“Tingting.”
Tingbao shook his head honestly.
Then, thinking that his Beastmaster would train with him, he became happy again, and with a flick of his tail, he was about to curl towards his Beastmaster again.
Qiao Sang swiftly leaped back, dodging Tingbao’s tail. “Stop, don’t get too excited just yet. Training’s the most important thing right now.”
“Tingting,”
Tingbao’s cheerful expression faded, and he nodded.
“Tingting?”
Then, with a curious look on his face, he barked. How do you train for lightning weather?
“You need to continuously diffuse the lightning power within you through the clouds,” Qiao Sang explained. “When the intensity of your released lightning power exceeds the air insulation threshold, there’s a certain chance of generating lightning weather.”
Upon learning of Tingbao’s idea for lightning weather, although she disapproved of him spending his sleepless nights practicing, she also felt it would be a good skill for him to learn. After all,
he possessed the Lightning Swallowing ability, and learning lightning weather would be immensely beneficial both in combat and in daily life.
So, during her evening rest, she took the opportunity to consult with Teacher Mikaela and read books about lightning weather, preparing for Tingbao’s future practice. However, she hadn’t expected to put it to use so soon.
To successfully master Lightning Weather, the most crucial requirement is that the pet using the skill possess powerful lightning power. Tingbao is only a mid-level pet, and the lightning power within it cannot possibly exceed the critical point of air insulation. This is one of the main reasons why low-level pets rarely learn high-level skills: their energy is insufficient.
“Tingting.”
Tingbao nodded seriously, then twisted his body to prepare for a flight.
“Wait a moment,” Qiao Sang stopped him.
“Tingting?”
Tingbao paused and turned to look.
“Little Xunbao,” Qiao Sang called out before answering.
Little Xunbao, who was playing on his phone in the living room, heard the call and, without hesitation, put it down and teleported to his beastmaster.
He knew that at this time, if things went wrong, his beastmaster might take the phone back.
“Xunxun~”
Little Xunbao called out with a look of “I’ll take your orders if you need anything.”
“Find the potion bottle labeled ‘Energy Burst Potion’ and take it out.” Qiao Sang said.
The Energy Burst Potion can increase the energy in the body to a level that the body can withstand within a certain period of time without causing any damage to the body.
Since they were going to practice, she naturally wouldn’t let Tingbao waste time practicing.
If the energy in Tingbao’s body increased to a certain level, reaching the energy conditions that meet the requirements for performing Thunder Weather, then Tingbao might really learn Thunder Weather.
With the help of the golden finger, as long as Tingbao happened to successfully perform Thunder Weather once, it would be equivalent to fully mastering this skill.
“Xunxun~”
Little Xunbao took off the ring, enlarged it, and put its whole head in to search.
Soon, it took out a box of potions.
Qiao Sang took it, opened it, and saw that it was full of Energy Burst Potion.
She picked up the potion and checked how long it lasted after taking it:
[One hour]
One hour, enough time to last until the free pet points competition was over…
As the thought flashed through her mind, little Xunbao blinked and called out,
“Xunxun~”
Any other instructions?
“No,” Qiao Sang said.
Upon hearing this, little Xunbao disappeared without a second, returning to the living room.
“Tingting?”
Tingbao looked at the potion with curiosity and called out.
What is it?
“Something that increases your energy for a short period of time,” Qiao Sang said, handing it over. “Drink it.”
Tingbao didn’t ask why, simply wrapping his tail around the bottle and pouring it into his mouth.
Soon, yellow arcs of electricity appeared on his body.
This was a sign that his energy was suddenly overflowing, becoming too much to control.
“Go, do as I told you,” Qiao Sang said sternly.
“Tingting.”
Tingbao nodded vigorously, then twisted his body and quickly flew into the sky.
In the dark night sky, only a yellow dot could be seen flickering.
Time is running out… Tingbao was in the clouds, showing a serious expression.
“Tingting!!!”
It swung its tail and roared, and the yellow electric arcs flickering on its body suddenly expanded, bombarding the surroundings with its voice.
Qiao Sang could only see a trace of yellow light flickering below, and nothing else.
With this movement, there is no need to worry about waking up Yabao and the others…
Just as he was thinking, footsteps were heard behind him.
Qiao Sang turned around and saw that it was Teacher Mikaela. He couldn’t help but asked in surprise:
“Why are you here?”
“I should be asking you.” Mikaela looked up at the sky and said, “Why are you still training with the Thunder Dragon at this time?”
As an S-level beastmaster, she can actually go without sleep for a long time. As early as when Tingbao left the room and came to the open-air training ground, she heard the movement.
Qiao Sang said helplessly:
“It wants to practice, doesn’t it? Instead of letting it practice secretly behind my back, I’d rather practice with it and give it some guidance.”
“As a professional beastmaster, you must manage your pet’s training time,” Mikaela instructed.
Qiao Sang suddenly thought, “Did the Dragon King and the others manage it before?”
Mikaela paused, then changed the subject. “Intermediate pets rarely learn high-level skills. I can’t say it’s impossible, but learning Thunder Weather in nine days is absolutely impossible.”
She meant to persuade Tingbao to stop staying up late to train.
“Nine days,” Qiao Sang sighed. “There are only eight days left until the competition officially ends. Tingbao’s goal is to master Thunder Weather to use it during the competition and quickly accumulate points. If he learns it in the last two days, how can he use it?”
As if she had thought of something, she looked at Teacher Mikaela with a burning gaze.
Mikaela noticed the look and suddenly had a bad feeling in her heart. She said calmly,
“Then you let Thunder Dragon practice well. I’m going to sleep first.”
Just as she was about to leave, Qiao Sang grabbed her hand and said,
“Teacher, can you do me a favor?”
Mikaela pulled her hand away: “We’ll talk about it after I wake up.”
“No, teacher, we’re already here.” Qiao Sang held her hand again and said flatteringly, “If you want to sleep, I’ll let Lu Bao cast a healing light on you. I guarantee that everything will be fine.”
“That’s not necessary. I don’t have the luxury of using a healing light just because I’m sleepy.” Mikaela pulled her hand back and said,
“Tell me, what do you want me to do?”
“I want you to stimulate Thunder Dragon near it,” Qiao Sang stated her purpose.
Mikaela: “…”
I knew it… Mikaela’s lips twitched slightly. “Why stimulate it? It’s already training.”
“But the lightning power it unleashes isn’t strong enough,” Qiao Sang said. “If you stimulate it nearby, it should increase the amount of lightning it releases.”
“Even if its lightning power is enhanced, it can’t immediately master Thunder Weather at this stage,” Mikaela said calmly.
If the Thunder Dragon had a chance to master Thunder Weather quickly, she wouldn’t mind helping, just like she had helped the Thunder Dragon’s electric grid achieve full coverage. But this time was different. No matter how much stimulation she put in, it would be futile.
“But how can we know if we don’t try?” Qiao Sang said.
Since she was helping Thunder Dragon train, she naturally wanted to do her utmost to enable it to unleash its strongest lightning power.
Try? How? Stimulate the Thunder Dragon and make it strike? If it doesn’t work today, try again tomorrow? If it doesn’t work tomorrow, try again the day after tomorrow? Let it strike until it mastered it? Mikaela glanced at her and was about to refuse.
“Xia Xia…”
Just at this moment, Xia Lala came over, rubbing her eyes with a sleepy face.
You’re awake too… Qiao Sang and Mikaela looked over with surprise.
“Did I wake you up?” Mikaela subconsciously asked in a soft voice.
“Xia Xia.”
Xia Lala yawned and called out, indicating that she didn’t wake you up, but woke up on her own. When she woke up, she saw that Qiao Sang was not in the room, so she came out to check.
After saying that, she showed a puzzled expression and called out:
“Xia Xia?”
Why didn’t you sleep today?
“You want Teacher Mikaela to help Tingbao train?” Qiao Sang said with his eyes wide open.
After saying that, he desperately gave Xia Lala a “help me, help me” look.
Xia Lala was stunned for a moment.
Mikaela: “???”
I didn’t understand Xia Lala’s words, and I couldn’t understand her expression?
Is that what she said!
Just as Mikala was about to speak, Xia Lala nodded.
“Xia Xia.”
Mikala: “…”
A minute later, Mikala appeared high in the sky.
“Ting Ting?”
Ting Bao looked at her, frowning, and called out. “
Why are you here?
Do you think I want to come?” Mikala internally complained, then said calmly,
“Stop practicing. You’re just wasting your time.”
“Ting Ting!”
Ting Bao’s expression suddenly became angry, and the yellow arcs of electricity that were already flashing around him intensified.
Mikala acted as if she hadn’t noticed and continued, “You lost to the Earth Dragon, and you want to challenge it to win back. But how do you know you’ll win if you challenge it again? You might just waste your efforts and suffer a second humiliation.”
“Ting Ting!”
Ting Bao’s patience finally broke. The arcs of electricity on his body suddenly transformed into electric snakes and struck Mikala fiercely.
The power of thunder and lightning filled Mikala’s body.
When the yellow light dissipated, Mikala was completely unharmed, not even a hair was electrocuted.
She scoffed, “Is that all the attack power you can muster?”
“Tingting!”
Tingbao increased his power, his yellow arcs focused once more.
The yellow light dissipated, leaving Mikaela unharmed.
“When Qiao Sang wanted to contract you, I disagreed,” Mikaela said flatly. “Her talent for beast taming is unparalleled, and there are plenty of pets with better talents than yours. You’re not talented, and you’re disobedient. You’re out training late at night, and you’re making your beastmaster stay up all night with you. Thunder Dragon, I was right. You shouldn’t have contracted Qiao Sang.”
… Qiao Sang, listening below, was terrified. He thought, “Shit, Teacher, you’re too harsh! I meant to give you a thrill, but not this much. After this training, you and Tingbao will be seeing each other every day.
” Her brain had now reached the level of an A-level beastmaster. If she focused and listened carefully, she could hear everything from high above.
“Tingting…”
Tingbao’s expression was infuriated.
This time, however, it didn’t immediately concentrate its lightning and strike. Instead, it channeled its energy, spreading the arcs of electricity.
Mikaela continued to prod,
“Qiaosang is spoiling you. As her teacher, I can’t let her do that. At your current level and energy, practicing lightning is a waste of time…”
Before she could finish, a stronger bolt of lightning struck fiercely.
The force was truly growing stronger each time… When the Thunder Dragon’s energy was almost depleted, she could return to sleep… Mikaela felt it, a mocking expression on her face, and said,
“Your power is too weak. You can’t hurt me at all. What else can you do now but waste your energy?”
“Tingting…”
Tingbao’s face darkened.
“Xiaxia?”
Xia Lala, unable to hear the noise from above, called out with curiosity. “Aren’t you Tingbao’s beastmaster?” Why was Mikaela training Tingbao, and not you?
“I can’t go up.” Qiao Sang guessed what Xia Lala meant by her expression. While paying attention to the movements above, she said, “Besides, it’s useless for me to go up. Only Teacher Mikaela can do this kind of training.”
After she finished speaking, she thought of something and said,
“You should go to bed quickly. It’s still early in the day.”
“Xia Xia.”
Xia Lala shook her head.
It also wanted to stay here.
As soon as it finished speaking, it yawned.
Qiao Sang saw that Xia Lala wanted to accompany her, and her heart softened. She bent down and picked it up, and said softly,
“If you want to stay here, just sleep against me.”
“Xia Xia…”
Xia Lala felt the warmth in her arms, and finally couldn’t control herself. She closed her eyes and fell asleep.
In the night sky, Mikaela looked down and said sarcastically:
“Beasts like Xia Lala all like Qiao Sang. You should have shown up at a good time. If Qiao Sang hadn’t experienced a brain breakthrough so early, gaining a new contract position, I’m sure she would have chosen a better beast.”
Tingbao looked down and saw a tender scene of his own beastmaster embracing Xia Lala.
“Don’t they look more harmonious together than you?” Mikala said.
“Tingting!!!”
Tingbao could no longer bear it, roaring with extreme fury and channeling all his energy.
As he did so, he suddenly felt a restraint within him lift, his energy surge.
“Zizi~”
The yellow lightning force intensified, and the powerful force suddenly struck towards Mikala.
“Bang!”
With a loud bang, the lightning force that struck Mikala illuminated the surrounding night sky for a moment.
Was it too much? This power seemed too much for a mid-level beast… But after using this lightning move, the Thunder Dragon should have no energy left… Mikala thought.
As the thought flashed through his mind, a loud rumbling sound came from above.
Then, lightning flashed through the night. (End of this chapter)
