But after Qiao Sang had stared for nearly a full minute, the woman remained completely unaware.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Left with no choice, Qiao Sang walked up and asked, \"Hello, would you be interested in a match?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Yap!\" Yanao also let out a battle-ready cry toward Ice Shimmer Bear.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yabao: ...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The woman squinted at Qiao Sang, then pulled a pair of glasses from her shoulder bag and put them on.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>So she's nearsighted, no wonder she didn’t react despite being stared at for so long.Qiao Sang thought to herself.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The woman looked at Qiao Sang, then at Yabao, before pulling out a business card from her bag and handing it over.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She said, \"Sure, but my sparring sessions are booked until next week. You can reserve a slot for the week after next.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Qiao Sang took the card and read it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hongying Beast Taming Battle Club, Senior Sparring Partner, Zhang Jie.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Qiao Sang's first thought was:She's a sparring partner, how come I don’t have a business card?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Her second thought:Sounds like she thinks I'm a customer. Well, sparring partners usually charge a fee, so it makes sense.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Qiao Sang asked, \"Out of curiosity, what's your hourly rate?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Ten thousand alliance coins. Judging by the fact that you’re here, you’re probably a sparring partner, too.\" The woman said.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Since we're colleagues, I’ll give you a 10% discount.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Qiao Sang thanked her.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With her current bank balance,the discount wasn’t really necessary, but who could resist the appeal of a discount?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Qiao Sang then took Yabao to the spot she had initially scoped out.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Xun~\" Little Treasure emerged, proactively pulling an energy recovery drink from the ring and offering it to Yabao.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Drink this first to recover a bit, you’ve been flying for quite a while.\" Qiao Sang said to Yabao.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Yap.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yabao nodded and used his telekinesis to open the energy recovery drink, pouring it into his mouth.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Although energy recovery drinks are expensive, they’re worth it. YabAo instantly returned to peak condition.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Qiao Sang set her backpack in front of her, and Lubao immediately leaped out, positioning herself next to Ya Bao.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Here’s the plan.\" Qiao Sang told her three pet beasts.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Yabao, practice the Meteor Rain technique with your Shadow Clone, while the main body uses telekinesis to hurl gravel at Lubao.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Lubao, you’ll try to dodge the gravel. I'll place a pen on Yabao. Your task is to dodge the gravel, make your way to Yabao, and grab the pen.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Little Treasure, continue with the tile-breaking exercise, but increase the count to fifteen pieces. Once you’re tired, use telekinesis to control gravel and launch it at Lunak, like Yabao.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yabao and Little Treasure’s training routines had always been clear.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>For Lubao, Qiao Sang’s training plan involved perfecting her Healing Light technique and building up her basic attributes.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>On land, water-type beasts generally can’t move as quickly as they can in water.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Qiao Sang didn’t expect Lubao to become a jack-of-all-trades.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But in large competitions, the battle field is chosen randomly, so luck alone can't guarantee a water environment.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If beasts are summoned before the field is revealed, Lubao could end up at a disadvantage.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After all, suitable environments for water-type beasts to fully demonstrate their strength are rare.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Stone Fragment Barrage Technique could enhance Lubao’s reaction time, movement speed, and physical endurance.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Moreover, it could sharpen her willpower.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Most low-level beasts would instinctively move away from a barrage of flying gravel, rather than risk getting hit while moving and dodging.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even if Lubao struggled with speed initially, since the gravel was controlled by telekinesis, she could have Yabao pause or adjust the speed of the attack anytime.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This also allowed Yabao to enhance his telekinesis proficiency.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Most importantly, training together might strengthen their bond.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A win-win, perfect.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>For recovery, they had the energy drinks, and the overpowered super-tier skill Healing Light allowed for endless training. Okay, maybe not endless, but close enough.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Qiao Sang had high hopes, but reality proved merciless.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yabao was, after all, just an intermediate-level beast. In addition to practicing Meteor Rain, a high-energy move, his telekinetic control over the gravel was quickly draining his energy.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Qiao Sang calculated that, on average, Yabao needed a third of an energy drink every five minutes.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At this rate, forget about training endlessly; they’d probably be heading home in two hours.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Thankfully, her beasts were all dedicated to training, which offered some comfort.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Having cooperative pets was truly heartwarming.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lubao’s performance exceeded expectations, too. Qiao Sang kept an eye on her.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Since most of Yabao's energy went into practicing Meteor Rain with his clones, the gravel attacks weren’t too intense. But for Lubao, who was small and still a low-level beast, they were challenging enough.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lubao faced the incoming gravel without hesitation, charging forward and increasing her speed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Some gravel inevitably hit her, but she didn’t even flinch.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Watching her for a while, Qiao Sang suddenly realized her mistake.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Perhaps, given Lubak’s repeated injuries and the perfection of her Healing Light, her body strength didn’t require further training.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Xun~\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Just then, Little Treasure floated over, showing his claws with atiredexpression.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But his eyes kept glancing at Yabao hurling gravel at Lubao.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>That looks fun! He wanted to try!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Qiao Sang checked her phone, only 17 minutes had passed since training began.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She put her phone back in her pocket and said, \"If you’re tired of breaking tiles, you can practice Hypnosis. There should be ants around here. I remember you telling me you want to evolve.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"If you don’t step it up, Lubao might evolve before you.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Little Treasure had initially been unconcerned, thinking Lubao was an old-timer.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But having stayed close to Qiao Sang, he’d overheard her conversation with Liu Yao and realized Lubao was only seven months old, not much older than him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Xun!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Little Treasure was anxious.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>No way! He couldn’t let someone close to his age evolve before him!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He immediately scoured the ground for targets to practice Hypnosis.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Because they were positioned far from the other senior sparring partners, the continual Meteor Rain from Yabao’s clones, with its heavy firestorm and booming impacts, created a sensory overload.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As a result, Qiao Sang had no idea that every senior sparring partner in the arena had been staring in her direction for a good ten minutes.\u003C\u002Fp>",1172,"2026-06-06T02:23:08.562Z",1,"novelbin.me","24a536a3a32410b7a19427531b0176b676cf456833ff0dc8d28ed5665d4796d2","beast-taming-starting-from-zero-chapter-256","beast-taming-starting-from-zero-chapter-254",1023,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fbeast-taming-starting-from-zero-cover.jpg"]
