Xun! Xun!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The usually invisible Little Treasure appeared, rolling around on Qiao Sang’s head with laughter.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Qiao Sang’s head wasn’t big enough for him to complete a full roll, so he tumbled off, stabilizing himself mid-air.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But that wasn’t all. After steadying himself, Little Treasure pointed his tiny claw at Zheng Baolong’s dripping face and continued laughing uproariously.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Xun! Xun! Xun!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Everyone’s attention was drawn to this, including Zheng Baolong...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After a brief two-second consideration, she raised her hand, stowing Little Treasure into the Beast Tamer’s Codex, pretending as though nothing had happened.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Shi Gaofeng and the others stared in disbelief at the now-vanished Little Treasure-Seeking Ghost.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>No one had known that there was a ghost-type pet present in the training grounds, let alone that it belonged to a freshman who had just added it to their Beast Tamer’s Codex.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A freshman with two pet beasts?!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The revelation was so shocking that they temporarily forgot about the still-furious Zheng Baolong.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zheng Guoping’s temple pulsed with a throbbing vein. His face shifted from white to blue, then to black, as he glanced between Xu Yajie and Qiao Sang, before finally settling his gaze on the former.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Xu Yajie, immediately go outside and run 20 laps!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In this weather, running 20 laps was borderline cruel.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xu Yajie’s face was ashen, but he dared not protest, taking Mighty Duck with him as he left the training grounds.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Next, Wang Yao.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zheng Guoping resumed the training tests.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>During Mighty Duck’s test, Qiao Sang hadn’t noticed anything unusual.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She had simply assumed it was a test of skill to break through rock barriers and hit ultra-micro targets.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, the moment Flame Sparrow unleashed its flame vortex, she realized it wasn’t that simple.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yabao, like Flame Sparrow, was a fire-type pet beast. When Yabao was still in his basic form as a Fire Fang Dog, he had undergone daily training in fire-type skill release.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The flame whirl was one of Yabao’s fire-type skills, so Qiao Sang naturally knew what it should look like.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Beyond the increased rotation and temperature of the flames...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>An entry-level flame vortex would be about 20 cm wide, with an attack range of around 3 meters.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A proficient-level flame whirl wouldn’t change in width, but the attack range would extend to around 9 meters.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Although Yabao had never released a flame vortex in his advanced form as a Flame Hound, Qiao Sang had thoroughly researched all of Yabao’s skills online.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>When a fire-type pet evolves from basic to intermediate, a flame whirl released at the same proficiency level would maintain the same range but widen from 20 cm to 30 cm.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yet, the flame whirl Flame Sparrow had just released was neither at the proficient-level width of 30 cm with a 9-meter range, nor at the moderate-level range of 18 meters.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Instead, it was about 8 cm wide and shot nearly 30 meters, almost reaching the red target.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Because they were conducting a test for skill compression to extend attack range.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>No wonder Mighty Duck couldn’t control its water gun and sprayed in random directions.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Its limb strength wasn’t sufficient to manage the compressed water gun, leading to a loss of control.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Just like in her past life, when firefighters used high-pressure hoses and struggled with the recoil. You needed strength to handle the water pressure’s force.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Thinking of this, Qiao Sang began to feel a bit of sympathy for Zheng Baolong.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Compressed water gun attacks... just how thick-skinned would someone have to be to withstand that?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Once Wang Yao and Shi Gaofeng finished their tests, Zheng Guoping said, “Qiao Sang, it’s your turn.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Qiao Sang nodded and took her place directly across from the red target.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“What fire... what’s the name of your pet?” Zheng Guoping asked.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Qiao Sang hesitated for a moment before deciding to use the official name from the Beast Tamer’s Codex: “He’s the Flame Hound.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Yap?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yabao looked up in confusion at his Beast Tamer.Flame Hound? Wasn’t he a Blaze Dog?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Qiao Sang lowered her head, smiling warmly at Yabao. “I’ll show you a mirror tonight.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Yap!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yabao let out an excited bark.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ever since evolving, he hadn’t had a proper look at himself!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wang Yao watched their interaction with an odd expression.What’s so exciting about looking in a mirror?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Why was Yabao so happy? It didn’t act like a typical fire-type pet at all...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Shouldn’t fire-type pets be smirking with disdain and proudly ignoring their tamers at moments like this?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“What long-range attack skills does your Flame Hound have?” Zheng Guoping continued.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Because he knew so many, Qiao Sang took a moment to think before answering, “Ember, fire whirl, flame charge…”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Before she could finish, Zheng Guoping interrupted, “Let’s go with the fire whirl. Have your Flame Hound release one.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Okay.” Qiao Sang agreed and exchanged a look with Yabao.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Yap.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yabao nodded and immediately launched a fire whirl at the rocky area.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Proficient-level fire whirl.” Zheng Guoping noted as he wrote it down.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A proficient-level fire whirl? That was expected of an intermediate-level pet beast like the Flame Hound...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zheng Guoping tried hard not to dwell on the fact that the person in front of him was just an incoming freshman.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wang Yao, though unaffected by the proficient-level fire whirl, was in disbelief at what she had just witnessed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A single look, no words spoken, and the flame whirl was released?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>How did the Flame Hound know to release a fire whirl?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wang Yao suddenly turned to stare intently at her own Flame Sparrow, hoping it could sense what she was thinking at that moment.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Flame Sparrow, feeling puzzled, stared back.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After a moment, Flame Sparrow finally understood.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Yan Yan.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It pointed its left wing at its Beast Tamer’s left eye.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Instinctively, Wang Yao touched her left eye.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And felt a piece of eye gunk...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wang Yao: !!!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Meanwhile...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Can you try having your Flame Hound keep the energy output the same but reduce the width of the fire whirl?” Zheng Guoping asked.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Qiao Sang nodded and communicated with Yabao.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Use the same skill as before, but try to narrow the flames to about this width.” Qiao Sang gestured roughly 8 cm with her hands.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This wasn’t like the time they compressed energy to make super spicy roasted wings in that alley.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Back then, it was about energy compression; Now the training focused on maintaining energy output while compressing the skill’s width to extend its range.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The 8 cm width she suggested was based on Flame Sparrow’s.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In her mind, if Flame Sparrow could do it, then Yabao should be able to as well.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Yap!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yabao focused on his internal energy, rapidly circulating it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He remembered his Beast Tamer’s instructions about the width...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zheng Guoping walked from the red target toward the center of the field.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was unlikely the first attempt at skill compression would succeed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If the Flame Hound’s proficient-level fire whirl followed the width Qiao Sang had indicated, it should reach about 15 meters.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>When the Flame Hound failed, he’d be ready to set a target distance for Qiao Sang.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>15 meters would be decent enough.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zheng Guoping stopped about 15 meters from the Flame Hound.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At that moment, Yabao flawlessly released a fire whirl with the exact width Qiao Sang had indicated.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The high-speed rotating flames struck a rock 13 meters away.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Boom!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The rock exploded, sending fragments flying, one of which smacked Zheng Guoping square in the face.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>-----\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>-----\u003C\u002Fp>",1275,"2026-06-06T02:23:08.562Z",1,"novelbin.me","f942523fd1f87c57f34396f4c5ac4131e0a1b1bb85acfee114d4f44110561a8c","beast-taming-starting-from-zero-chapter-128","beast-taming-starting-from-zero-chapter-126",1023,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fbeast-taming-starting-from-zero-cover.jpg"]
