It didn't matter how young the girl in front of him was; her family was definitely wealthy.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>When it came to children training pet beasts, parents were rarely stingy with money.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As long as he could help the Treasure-Seeking Ghost make significant progress during this hour of training,wouldn't this rich kid become a regular client?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As for Treasure-Seeking Ghost being a Ghost-type, which meant that his Ground-type Double-Tailed Land Turtle had no particular advantage except for certain moves, Lin Yuanqi wasn't worried at all.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>One was clearly a beginner-level pet beast that hadn’t even been weaned, while the other was a battle hardened intermediate-level pet beast.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Winning this fight wasn’t the hard part; it was about helping Treasure-Seeking Ghost learn something from it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lin Yuanqi looked seriously at Qiao Sang and said, \"The upcoming battle isn't child's play. Your Treasure-Seeking Ghost might get hurt during the fight, so I hope you're prepared for that.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Some rookie Beast Masters couldn’t bear to see their pet beasts get even slightly injured during a fight. If a few strands of fur fell out, they'd start panicking.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Some would even surrender or stop the fight, which was a big no-no in training pet beasts.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Training wasn’t just about winning, but about guiding the other side on how to battle.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I understand.\" Qiao Sang nodded. She knew this well.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Once the battle began.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lin Yuanqi gave the first command: \"Mud Bomb!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Double-Tailed Land Turtle raised its head, pouting its mouth, and soon after, brown mud shot out of its mouth, aiming for the floating Little Treasure in midair.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"In battles, hesitation is your enemy. Whoever makes the first move generally has the advantage. Especially when there's a big gap in strength, the opponent has no choice but to…\" Lin Yuanqi’s instructional tone abruptly stopped. His usual poised smile froze on his face.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His mouth gaped, and his eyes widened as he stared at the scene before him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>What the heck!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Could someone please explain to him why all of the mud bombs were frozen midair?!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>What... what kind of move is this?!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Since when did Ghost-type pet beasts have a move like this?!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Before he could figure it out, Qiao Sang spoke, \"Send it back, and flip it over.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lin Yuanqi stood frozen, his brain momentarily short-circuited.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Send it back? Flip it over?These were all words he understood, but when combined, they made no sense to him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Xun~\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Little Treasure’s eyes glowed blue, and the faint blue light on his short claws suddenly intensified, spreading quickly across his entire body.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In the next second, the massive Double-Tailed Land Turtle's front legs left the ground, and it began to tilt backward uncontrollably.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Lu...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Double-Tailed Land Turtle looked bewildered at the ceiling of the training room.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It didn’t understand why it suddenly fell…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Just as it tried to struggle and flip itself over, all the mud bombs that had been frozen in midair turned around and bombarded its exposed belly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Lu!!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Double-Tailed Land Turtle let out a cry of pain.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Hypnosis.\" Qiao Sang instructed, even before the mud bombs finished their attack.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Mud Bomb attack was powerful, but only when launched by the -Tailed Land Turtle itself.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Little Treasure's telekinetically controlled mud bombs were slower and less potent.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even though they hit the Double-Tailed Land Turtle's vulnerable spot, they would only inflict some damage and wouldn’t defeat it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Calm down! Double-Tailed Land Turtle! Use Mud Bomb again!\" Lin Yuanqi shouted.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seeing the distinctive blue glow of a Psychic-type pet beast's powers, the flipped mud bombs, and the overturned Double-Tailed Land Turtle, it all clicked for him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Telekinesis!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>That was Telekinesis!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This Treasure-Seeking Ghost was an ultra-rare pet beast that had both Ghost and Psychic abilities!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But wasn’t it a beginner-level pet beast?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even if it could use Telekinesis, it shouldn’t be able to control so many mud bombs and the Twin-Tailed Tortoise at the same time…Lin Yuanqi’s heart raced, filled with uncertainty.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Never mind the energy requirements, this level of control required a mastery-level proficiency in Telekinesis, didn’t it?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Treasure-Seeking Ghost, a beginner pet beast, and mastery-level Telekinesis?Are you kidding me!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lin Yuanqi, though dazed, still reacted quickly based on experience when he heard Qiao Sang’s next command.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If Treasure-Seeking Ghost were to use Hypnosis, it would need to lock eyes with the Double-Tailed Land Turtle, giving the turtle the perfect chance to hit it with Mud Bomb.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Double-Tailed Land Turtle, despite its pain, pursed its mouth and began gathering energy, but it was startled by the sudden appearance of Treasure-Seeking Ghost right in front of it, grinning from ear to ear.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Lu!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Its body shuddered, and the energy it had just gathered dissipated.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Xun~\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Little Treasure smiled kindly, and his eyes glowed purple.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Sleepiness overwhelmed the Double-Tailed Land Turtle , and its eyelids closed uncontrollably.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Damn it!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It knows Teleport too!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lin Yuanqi stood dumbfounded. If the Treasure-Seeking Ghost hadn’t been able to teleport, its usual Ghost-type movement speed might have allowed the Double-Tailed Land Turtle to launch the Mud Bomb, as he had initially planned.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But this Treasure-Seeking Ghost could teleport!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Dream Eater.\" Qiao Sang commanded, taking advantage of the successful Hypnosis.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Little Treasure opened his mouth wide.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A pale pink energy emerged from the Double-Tailed Land Turtle's head and slowly floated into Little Treasure's mouth.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Xun~\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After absorbing the energy, Little Treasure felt his strength recover and let out a satisfied cry.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lin Yuanqi looked at his four-legged, unconscious Double-Tailed Land Turtle, then at the Treasure-Seeking Ghost, who was completely unharmed and had regained much of its energy through Dream Eater, and was left speechless.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I’ve lost.\" After a moment of silence, Lin Yuanqi took a deep breath and admitted defeat.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He waved his hand, recalling the Double-Tailed Land Turtle, and turned to leave in a daze.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Wait.\" Qiao Sang called after him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lin Yuanqi turned back, forcing a smile as he said, \"I'll go outside and get a stronger sparring partner for you.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Qiao Sang blinked, then nodded. \"Alright.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lin Yuanqi turned to leave again, but Qiao Sang called out, \"Wait.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I'm not trying to stop you,\" Qiao Sang said.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I just want to ask, those 4 minutes we just spent fighting... does the remaining 56 minutes continue counting now, or does it start over when the new sparring partner arrives?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lin Yuanqi: ...\u003C\u002Fp>",1139,"2026-06-06T02:23:08.563Z",1,"novelbin.me","9d9e428908bda0ea7b1b7a93137827631f9ae38530367126ce7f5741fa097709","beast-taming-starting-from-zero-chapter-173","beast-taming-starting-from-zero-chapter-171",1023,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fbeast-taming-starting-from-zero-cover.jpg"]
