These two revelations echoed in her mind, leaving her unsettled for a long time.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yabao is still just a child!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And yet, Water Luriana… She’s actually willing to form a contract with Yabao!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Thinking about this, Qiao Sang felt a pang of regret.Why hadn’t she started practicing meditation earlier?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If she had, maybe by now, she’d have unlocked the third page of her Beast Master’s Codex!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It wouldn’t be this awkward situation where a national treasure-level beast is willing to contract with her, but she has no way to make it happen.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Lu~”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Water Luriana glanced at Yabao, then, with a slightly embarrassed expression, nodded to show she was okay with it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Qiao Sang noticed this and looked away awkwardly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Yabao, make sure you two get along from now on.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Yap!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yabao wagged his tail and let out a cheerful bark, his gaze pure and innocent.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He understood that this elderly pet would be sticking around with his Beast Master from now on, just like Little Treasure.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After spending time together, and with Water Luriana having healed him recently, plus considering Water Luriana’s age, Yabao no longer held the same prejudice against her.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Xun!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Little Treasure chimed in, asserting his presence.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Yes, and you too, Little Treasure.” Qiao Sang added.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In the courtyard, Water Luriana was demonstrating the Water Stream Jet attack she had just learned.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Qiao Sang’s attention was split; she watched Water Luriana but also kept half her mind on another thought: Watching Water Luriana, she couldn’t help but feel that maybe it had forgotten the conversation they’d once had about needing heartbreak to trigger her evolution.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Should she remind her?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But then again, if Water Luriana was mentally prepared for heartbreak, would the experience still go smoothly?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As Qiao Sang pondered this, Water Luriana, mid-air, lost control of her momentum and began to plummet downward.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seeing this, Yabao instantly teleported, catching Water Luriana on his back.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Lu…”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Water Luriana opened her eyes and, upon realizing she was on Yabao’s back, blushed shyly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Yal!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yabao barked, indicating he was simply doing what he should.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He remembered his Beast Master’s instructions well:He had to get along with Water Luriana from now on.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Since they would be companions, there was no way he could watch Water Luriana bury her head in the dirt again.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Qiao Sang witnessed the whole scene from the sidelines.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She had initially suspected that Water Luriana had forgotten her own evolution condition; now, she was sure, she had definitely forgotten.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Water Luriana hopped off Yabao’s back.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Qiao Sang stepped forward and commented, “Not bad. Your Water Stream Jet is almost there. Just needs a little more control over the energy.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>When Water Luriana suddenly learned a higher-difficulty intermediate skill, Qiao Sang was only momentarily surprised.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After all, both Yabao and Little Treasure had learned advanced skills early on, even while they were still in the beginner stage.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She had already developed a strong mental resilience against this kind of shock.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Though her mind had wandered a bit just now, the other half of her attention was fully on Water Luriana’s Water Stream Jet.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Not being able to adjust the jet’s direction properly was simply due to insufficient energy control.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Lu?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Water Luriana asked, wondering what it should do next.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“One word, practice.” Qiao Sang said with a smile.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A pet’s strength requires long-term training, though there is a shortcut: resources.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Qiao Sang had something unique. Besides resources, she had another shortcut: Her golden finger.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If she could contract with Water Luriana, she wouldn’t have to worry about mastering Water Stream Jet; once performed successfully, she’d ensure Water Luriana had full control over it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Lu!” Water Luriana nodded, turning to resume training Water Stream Jet immediately.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Her drive to become stronger wasn’t as intense as before. After all, the person who had been relentlessly pursuing her was now gone, and she had found herself a Beast Master.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Having a Beast Master meant she wouldn’t be chased and forced into a contract anymore, which was part of why she was willing to contract.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But with Yabao working so hard, training every day,surely he would like the best version of herself too!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With this thought, Water Luriana’s expression firmed up, and she dedicated herself fully to training.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>---\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The next morning.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Qiao Sang entered the classroom and immediately began meditating at her seat.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This time, she wasn’t being influenced by her surroundings; she genuinely wanted to meditate.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Her top priority now was to unlock the third page of the Beast Master’s Codex. Once she had the third page, many issues would be solved.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>First, with the third page, she could contract with Water Luriana, and even if others tried to interfere, it wouldn’t matter.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Second, she could plan for Water Luriana’s evolution earlier.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Since Water Luriana agreed to contract for Yabao’s sake, if she experienced heartbreak before the contract, she might flood the place, swish her tail, and leave without a trace.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With Water Luriana’s previous personality, this was highly likely.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Finally, the skill-learning process could be sped up.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With her golden finger, Water Luriana could either learn new skills or master current ones to their highest potential, even if she had limited natural aptitude.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>When Qiao Sang finished meditating, Jin Feifan glanced at her watch. Five minutes remained before the first class.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She turned and asked in a low voice, “Is everything sorted out?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“All sorted.” Qiao Sang replied with a smile.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After she’d taken leave yesterday, Jin Feifan had messaged her to ask, though Qiao Sang had only mentioned she’d had a minor issue, omitting the fever.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“That’s good.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jin Feifan said with a smile, then added, “By the way, yesterday the class was supposed to select participants for the sports meet, but since you were absent, we all agreed to postpone it to today.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Qiao Sang: ...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She understood. In every sports meet, it was typically the underachievers who represented the class.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And she was thefighter among underachievers.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Isn’t it early for a school sports meet? School just started.” Qiao Sang asked.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I heard it’s at the end of September, but they want to pick participants early. Knowing the events beforehand gives them more time to train.” Jin Feifan replied.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Qiao Sang understood. The Beast Master high school’s sports meet was different from ordinary schools.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Most events involved pet beasts, while others required Beast Master and pet cooperation.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>For freshmen who had only recently become Beast Masters, these events required familiarization and extra practice.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Is there an event you’re interested in?” Jin Feifan asked.\u003C\u002Fp>",1120,"2026-06-06T02:23:08.562Z",1,"novelbin.me","01321f2a8ff24197b9ba0a0560fb261f70a4e19a8dacfae3689adeae8b5a2a71","beast-taming-starting-from-zero-chapter-238","beast-taming-starting-from-zero-chapter-236",1023,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fbeast-taming-starting-from-zero-cover.jpg"]
