Beast Taming: Starting From Zero

Qiao Sang calmly watched the data analysis.

It was normal for some pet beasts to experience changes or gain new attributes during evolution.

Among them, the most dramatic were the Evergreen Worm, Bamboo Flower Snake, and Leaping Fish.

These three pet beasts were extremely weak in the early stages, but they had the potential to evolve into dragons.

However, the Evergreen Worm and Bamboo Flower Snake had to evolve to the emperor level for that to happen, and no beast tamer capable of raising a pet to the emperor level would contract these two creatures.

Why go through so much trouble when you could just buy a dragon-type pet beast outright? Wouldn't that be much more convenient?

Compared to the first two, the Leaping Fish only needed to evolve into a high-level pet beast to gain dragon attributes.

The alliance even gave it a cool name, Water Overlord Dragon.

But if you thought that meant the Leaping Fish would make your dreams of a dragon come true, you were wrong.

When the alliance first announced that the Leaping Fish could evolve into the Water Overlord Dragon, its market price skyrocketed from 6,000 league coins to 600,000 league coins.

Even so, the Leaping Fish sold out immediately, with demand far exceeding supply.

After all, compared to buying a dragon-type pet beast directly, the price was a steal.

Who doesn’t dream of contracting a dragon-type pet beast these days?

The Leaping Fish gave people hope.

Unfortunately, that dream didn’t last long. According to statistics, out of a million beast tamers who bought Leaping Fish, only one successfully evolved it into a Water Overlord Dragon.

The odds were as slim as winning the lottery.

So, the price of the Leaping Fish soon dropped back down.

As for Yabao evolving into an unknown new form and gaining a Psychic attribute, Qiao Sang hadn’t expected it, but she wasn’t surprised either.

She already had a golden finger.

Yabao could learn high-level skills at the early stage, and she had even encountered a pet beast like Little Treasure with the rare combination of ghost and psychic attributes. What else was impossible?

But...

Qiao Sang’s gaze fell on the top of the data, her expression tightening.

Why did the name of Yabao's evolved form appear here? Could it be that the Flame Hound had already been discovered by the alliance?

That couldn't be. If that were the case, the alliance would have made it public.

Qiao Sang pondered for a while and considered a possibility.

Could it be that the Flame Hound had appeared on another planet, and the alliance didn’t know about it?

If that were the case, then her golden finger was far more powerful than she had imagined.

With that thought, Qiao Sang stopped thinking about it.

For now, her priority was to improve her academic scores, win the privilege policy for the college entrance exam from Litan Beast Taming High School.

Concerns about other planets were still too far off for her.

Qiao Sang continued to scroll down.

A new trait had appeared, but it required the opponent to attack first before his body temperature could rise, causing flames to emerge and burn the opponent.

In short, the trait required getting hit first before his flames could touch the enemy, potentially inflicting a burn status.

Why did fire-type pet beasts always have such pitiful traits...

Qiao Sang couldn’t help but complain.

She kept reading.

There were three new skills.

She recognized Telepathy.

Phantom Flame, an invisible flame, didn’t seem to be any more powerful than the original fire, but its invisibility was definitely an advantage in battle.

However, experienced professional beast tamers would notice the distortion in the space around the Phantom Flame and take precautions.

The alliance had ranked Phantom Flame as a high-level skill.

If Yabao hadn’t already learned Meteor Rain, Qiao Sang might have gotten excited.

But Yabao had learned high-level skills during his early stages, so evolving to the intermediate stage and gaining another high-level skill didn’t impress her much.

Qiao Sang shifted her gaze to the last skill.

Touch Perception.

What was this…

Qiao Sang felt a bit embarrassed. She knew most common skills.

Even if she hadn’t learned them from textbooks, she’d picked them up from watching competitions and listening to commentators. She had a rough understanding of the majority of skills.

But she had never heard of Touch Perception...

Qiao Sang quickly made a guess. This was probably not a combat skill.

As for its exact function, she’d have to look it up online.

After another glance at the Beast Taming Codex, Qiao Sang’s consciousness returned to reality.

She was quite satisfied with her performance this time.

Calm and composed.

She hadn’t freaked out when Yabao gained a new evolution form, and she’d stayed cool even after discovering the additional psychic attribute.

Qiao Sang felt that her mental fortitude had significantly improved over the past month.

No matter what situation she encountered in the future, she would probably be able to remain composed and steady.

And then, in the next second, life slapped her in the face.

“Whoa!” Qiao Sang almost had a heart attack when she found Little Treasure inches from her face.

“Xun!”

Little Treasure was startled too and teleported to the top of his beast tamer’s head, nervously pulling at two tufts of hair and scanning the surroundings.

"Yap!”

Yabao also looked around warily.

“It’s okay, it’s okay.” Qiao Sang quickly reassured them.

Getting scared by her own pet beast was truly embarrassing, but it wasn’t entirely her fault.

She could guarantee that anyone who opened their eyes and found a face so close would also be frightened.

“Xun.”

Little Treasure averted his gaze, looking guilty.

His beast tamer was just too timid—he couldn’t be blamed for that.

“Little Treasure, you can let go of my hair now…”

“Xun.”

Little Treasure awkwardly released his grip.

With the pain in her scalp gone, Qiao Sang finally began to think about her next move.

Yabao was too big now. Although her dorm room wasn’t small compared to other high schools, her actual room was only about eight square meters.

With the bed and closet, there was barely any room to move.

She needed to find a way to move outside...

But for now, that was impossible...

Suddenly, Qiao Sang had an idea and exclaimed, “Yabao, you have Psychic now. Can you float like Little Treasure?”

“Yap?”

Yabao tilted his head.

Psychic?

Float?

You mean the thing I play with regularly with little brother?

Can I float without my little brother?

Since his beast tamer said so, she couldn’t be wrong.

Yabao focused on the energy within his body.

The next second.

Boom!

The energy was too much, and Yabao slammed into the ceiling.

“Yabao, are you okay?” Qiao Sang winced.

Yabao didn’t fall as Qiao Sang had expected. Instead, he stayed on the ceiling, calling out excitedly.

“Yap!”

"Yap, yap!”

I’m flying! I can fly too!

Before long, Yabao began adjusting his energy, trying to control his altitude.

“Xun!”

Little Treasure watched in amazement.

He floated around Yabao, spinning in circles.

How incredible! His appearance had changed, and so had his abilities. Is this what evolution is?

Yabao’s natural talent was already high. After learning Meteor Rain, his control over his internal energy had reached a certain level.

After a few tries, he could now use Psychic with ease.

Qiao Sang watched as Yabao floated effortlessly around the room, nodding in approval.

She really was a genius. She’d thought of letting Yabao use Psychic to move around the upper part of the room.

Now, although the space was still small, at least there was some room to maneuver, and he could even practice controlling Psychic while at it.
