Beast taming, starting from zero point

Chapter 99: Chapter 95: Energy Sphere

Learning skills has always been a headache for Beast Tamers.

If you have money, it’s fine. Just send your Pet Beast to different skill training institutions.

These institutions specialized in skill learning would define the skills that can be learned in advance.

They list out the learnable skills with a series of professional training methods, and these methods are essentially intellectual property, a means to make money, not to be shared carelessly.

If you’re broke, you have to figure out how to learn on your own.

Searching online and discussing with others to broaden your own thinking is something most Beast Tamers do, and nobody complains about it.

The comment that suddenly appeared just now was clearly from someone who knew how to learn Mars Rain.

Qiao Sang got a bit excited and was about to reply when that person quickly sent another message.

[Only 19998 to take away the learning method, PM me, let’s talk details]

Qiao Sang: “…”

Pfft! Turns out to be a scammer.

Didn’t even bother to check the market price for learning Mars Rain before scamming, the price isn’t right even if you add another zero at the end.

Qiao Sang ignored him, continuing to wait for others to discuss.

Soon there were a few more comments.

[Front row, seeking the same]

[First, you need to have a Fire Attribute Beast]

[The guy above is wrong, first you need to have a high-level Fire Attribute Beast]

[Even high-level Fire Attribute Beasts aren’t enough, it has to be General-level to even discuss]

Qiao Sang read this, and typed out a response.

[What if it’s a low-level one?]

As soon as he sent this, it was like poking a hornet’s nest, and the number of comments skyrocketed.

[Disperse, the OP is an idiot]

[Let’s not talk learning for now, does a low-level Fire Attribute Beast have enough energy to cast Mars Rain? Even if you wring it out, it won’t be enough, right?]

[Mars Rain feels just like setting off fireworks, maybe you can buy some fireworks to set off and study it]

[Energy Sphere is round, and so are fireballs, one is about containing Fire Element energy, the other is releasing Fire Element energy outward, you can start from fireballs]

[Instead of researching how to learn Mars Rain, you might as well figure out how to make money to learn Mars Rain]

[I am but a humble man, once studied the issue of low-level Pet Beasts learning high-level skills, now live very well in a mental hospital]

Although most of the comments weren’t serious replies, Qiao Sang still found some useful information in them.

One of the main reasons why low and mid-level Pet Beasts can’t learn high-level skills is that they lack sufficient energy.

The amount of energy required for high-level skills is more than the Fire-Toothed Dog can currently handle.

The fastest solution would be to evolve the Fire-Toothed Dog, but right now, the Fire-Toothed Dog just can’t evolve.

However, it’s possible to try increasing energy without evolving.

After all, the Fire-Toothed Dog is still growing and hasn’t reached its energy saturation point.

Another piece of information is that the Energy Sphere is a state where energy is concentrated and contained.

If that’s the case, forming an Energy Sphere certainly requires mastery over Fire Element energy to perfection.

With the Golden Finger enhancing proficiency, this isn’t too difficult.

Qiao Sang looked down and noted down the training direction.

He created a targeted training plan for the Fire-Toothed Dog for the upcoming period.

As he was concentrating on writing, there was a knock at the door.

Qiao Sang put down the pen, stood up, and opened the door.

“Mom, what brings you here?” Qiao Sang asked in surprise.

The mother at the door looked weary, her usual meticulous makeup now smudged without any attempt of touching up.

Could something have happened?

As Qiao Sang was speculating, his mother’s expression suddenly relaxed, she smiled gently.

“I heard from your Auntie that you ran into a murderer today. I was worried so I came to see you. Now that I see you’re fine, I’m relieved,” she said.

Qiao Sang was taken aback, feeling a twinge of sadness in his heart.

Everyone marveled at his luck and praised his capability, but none asked if he was alright.

Qiao Sang pretended not to care and said, “You could’ve just called me, there was no need to make a trip. Do you have a day off tomorrow?”

His mother smiled and replied, “How did you know? I have plans to go shopping with your Auntie Wang tomorrow.”

Qiao Sang: “…”

…

The arrival of my mother was a minor interlude, and the next day at noon she rode off on a plump domestic pigeon to the train station.

It seemed she had forgotten the shopping trip she had promised with Auntie Wang.

Xiao Xunbao, the Treasure-seeking Ghost, still hadn’t woken up after a night, but the blush on its face had faded.

Liu Ganxi.

The Fire-Toothed Dog was spinning in circles frantically.

It looked at the changes on its body in amazement.

Just a second ago, its fur had suddenly grown longer, its stature had inexplicably shot up, and its claws had become much sharper.

“Yaobao, now release ‘Spark’ continuously until all the energy in your body is depleted,” Qiao Sang instructed.

Upon hearing its Beast Tamer’s command, the Fire-Toothed Dog stopped in its tracks, almost losing its balance due to dizziness.

When it began to mobilize the energy inside its body, it was startled.

Why did it feel like there was suddenly more energy?

“Yaobao?”

The Fire-Toothed Dog cocked its head and looked towards its Beast Tamer with a mix of surprise and confusion.

“This is the benefit of the contract; see how the Pet Beasts with a Beast Tamer progress faster than those in the base,” Qiao Sang coaxed.

In fact, her words were not false, albeit she was using the Golden Finger.

She had just added 600 points directly to the Fire-Toothed Dog’s level.

Now, in the Beast Taming Codex, the line about the Fire-Toothed Dog’s level read: [Beginner Stage (800/1000)+]

The changes appearing on the Fire-Toothed Dog were just as she expected.

The points after the level indicated the degree of the Fire-Toothed Dog’s energy accumulation at the beginner level.

The conditions for a Pet Beast’s evolution were partly the accumulation of energy and partly the opportunity for transformation.

The latter included a variety of elements.

Items for evolution, the environment, the intimacy with the Beast Tamer, or having trained a specific skill to a certain level, among other things, were all related.

The former was much simpler.

The more points the Fire-Toothed Dog had at its level, the more energy it would have within.

Mars Rain was a skill that consumed a lot of energy—so she thought she might try to increase its energy first without evolving it.

She didn’t dare to randomly add the remaining 200 points, considering there was still a month and a half left.

Qiao Sang did not plan to tell the Fire-Toothed Dog about the Golden Finger.

She was afraid that if it knew, its mentality might change, and if in the future it only relied on the Golden Finger and stopped making an effort, it would be all over.

“Yaobao!”

The Fire-Toothed Dog had an epiphany, so that’s how it was.

Then it excitedly began to mobilize the energy within its body.

30 minutes later.

The Fire-Toothed Dog, having released ‘Spark’ 320 times, collapsed on the ground exhausted.

Qiao Sang handed it milk right away.

Although everything was as she predicted, witnessing the Fire-Toothed Dog having enough energy to release that many ‘Sparks’, Qiao Sang was still somewhat taken aback.

This Golden Finger was too powerful…

…

At 3:12 PM.

In the room.

“Take a look at this water balloon,” Qiao Sang said as she held out a freshly filled mini balloon towards the Fire-Toothed Dog.

“To learn ‘Mars Rain’, you first have to learn to gather the Energy Sphere, and this Energy Sphere is just like this water balloon, where all the energy is gathered together, just like the water is contained within this balloon.”

“It doesn’t look like much on the surface, but you must know that inside contains tremendous energy. Go ahead and feel it for yourself.”

“Yaobao.”

The Fire-Toothed Dog nodded solemnly, extending its paw to take it.

“Pop!”

The moment its sharp claw touched the water balloon, it burst, sending water spilling everywhere.

The Fire-Toothed Dog: “…”
