But Lubao had spent the whole day inside the Beast Codex without doing anything.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Right then, Qiao Sang noticed a string of data.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Water Mist(Small Success: 1902\u002F2000)+\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Qiao Sang paused for a moment, recalling that last night the data for Water Mist was 1677…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The numbers don't lie, and suddenly, the mystery was clear.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lubao must have snuck in some practice time overnight while she was asleep!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Lu lu.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lubao coldly flicked her tail.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Rain Prayer? She didn’t even need special training to master it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Qiao Sang fell silent for a moment.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“…Impressive.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Lu lu.” Lubao looked nonchalant.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Basic skills, that’s all.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Qiao Sang: …\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>While Lubao had indeed worked hard through the night to learn rain summoning, it couldn’t be denied that her innate talent was exceptional.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>For an average intermediate-tier beast, practicing even for a hundred nights might not be enough to learn such an advanced skill.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It seemed that Lubao’s evolution did bring about some changes, at least a noticeable improvement in talent…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Qiao Sang didn’t say much more. However, that night, she made sure to carefully memorize Lubao’s stats in the Beast Codex.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The next morning, as soon as she woke up, Qiao Sang checked the Codex and, sure enough, the data had changed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[Rain Prayer (Beginner: 43\u002F100)+]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seeing the updated stats, Qiao Sang was rather moved. Rain Prayer, after all, is an advanced skill, and it consumes a lot of energy with each use.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Without energy-replenishing potions, practicing it more than 40 times overnight was quite the feat…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>---\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>8:30 AM, Shengshui High School\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As a contestant, Qiao Sang led Little Treasure to the designated competition area.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Many events were happening simultaneously, but nearly everyone on the field had gathered around the brick-breaking competition.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Do you think the Treasure-Seeking Ghost can really use the Fighting-type skill Brick Breaking? Is that true?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Though rumors had spread throughout the school that Qiao Sang’s Treasure-Seeking Ghost knew a Fighting-type move, not everyone believed it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Especially those with Ghost-type or Fighting-type contract beasts found it hard to accept.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After all, the two types are notoriously incompatible.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A Ghost-type beast knowing a Fighting-type skill?It sounded more absurd than a mage getting into hand-to-hand combat.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“WhatTreasure-Seeking Ghost? Open your eyes. That’s a Treasure-Seeking Demon!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“...Whoa, it’s only been a month since the start of the school year, and it’s already evolved?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“An evolved Ghost-type beast using Brick Breaking? Evolution is nothing in comparison!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Honestly, I feel like this rumor is too wild. Treasure-Seeking Demon using Brick Breaking? Just think about it, it’s practically impossible.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Yeah, it’s a bit unbelievable. But if I consider that Qiao Sang is its trainer… then maybe it’s not entirely impossible.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Let me tell you this: if Qiao Sang’s Treasure-Seeking Demon can use Brick Breaking, then my Punch Crab can use Shadow Ball.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The speaker was a junior about to compete in the brick-breaking contest.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Your Punch Crab using a Ghost-type move? Dream on!” A nearby student teased.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The junior shot back, “You get that’s a joke, right? So why believe that a Ghost-type beast can use Brick Breaking?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The nearby student replied earnestly, “That’s Qiao Sang’s Ghost-type beast. Are you really comparing yourself to them? Let’s see if you can develop a new evolution form for your beast, go undefeated against over 200 opponents, and have the police station award you a banner. If that day ever comes, I’d believe that your Punch Crab could even spit fire.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The junior: …\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>There was no way to argue with that logic.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Xun!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Little Treasure took his designated spot, flexing his claws and warming up.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Yungli!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>From the left, a burly Power Monkey scoffed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Little Treasure glanced over, only to see a towering figure several times his size.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Yungli.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seeing the small creature looking at it, Power Monkey flexed its massive biceps with pride.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Xun…”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Little Treasure looked at the other’s stature and muscles, then down at his own short arms and legs, his mouth twisting in dismay as he drooped, looking dejected.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Little Treasure! Go for it!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Qiao Sang noticed the change in his demeanor and quickly encouraged, “Keep your spirits up! Remember your golden gloves!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Yap yap!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yabao enthusiastically cheered.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Xun!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Little Treasure's eyes immediately reignited with determination.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Haha, Qiao Sang.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Aburly boy beside her laughed, “I don’t know what you were thinking, letting a Ghost-type beast enter a brick-breaking contest. This isn’t a battle, you know.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He chuckled.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“But I wonder if beating you here could win me some teleportation technique scrolls?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Before Qiao Sang could respond, her classmates, who had come to cheer her on, couldn’t hold back.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“You wish!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Qiao Sang, this guy is Liu Qijia from Class 9. His dad’s a professional Beast Master specializing in Fighting-type beasts, don’t agree to any of his nonsense!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“You’re crazy if you think you’ll get scrolls. If you’re so strong, prove it in a real battle!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Even if Qiao Sang agrees, do you really think she’d lose?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As everyone around added their comments, Qiao Sang calmly said, “If you win, it’s not impossible for me to give you the scrolls.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The crowd fell silent.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Since Qiao Sang said so, she must be confident she’ll win!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Liu Qijia was dumbfounded.I was just joking… you’re actually agreeing?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Isn’t this just a free giveaway?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Are you serious?” Liu Qijia asked, a bit unsure.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Of course.” Qiao Sang nodded.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hearing her definitive answer, Liu Qijia was overjoyed.A teleportation technique scroll! He could sell it for resources to last his Power Monkey three years!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The thought of losing didn’t even cross his mind.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“But I have a condition too.” Qiao Sang added.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Name it!” Liu Qijia replied seriously.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Qiao Sang said, “You know you have a high chance of winning. It wouldn’t be fair if only I had to offer something. So, if I win, you’ll give me something too.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Liu Qijia shrugged it off.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“What do you want?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Now this felt right; he had wondered how this was such a good deal.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Qiao Sang smiled.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“How about those golden gloves?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Deal!” Liu Qijia agreed without hesitation.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Compared to the teleportation technique scroll, golden gloves were nothing.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Watching things unfold, Jin Feifan, who had been quietly observing, approached Qiao Sang with concern.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Are you sure about this?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Absolutely.” Qiao Sang smiled.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Didn’t you hear yesterday? My Little Treasure has a high chance of winning. Even against third-years, it’d be a total knockout.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jin Feifan: …\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The tiles had been set in front of the thirteen competing beasts. For the first round, each competitor had ten stacked tiles to break.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The teacher referee blew the starting whistle.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Almost everyone’s gaze locked onto the third beast from the left, a seemingly undernourished, slightly dyed Treasure-Seeking Demon.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Xun!\"\u003C\u002Fp>",1198,"2026-06-06T02:23:08.562Z",1,"novelbin.me","53f29211568414005ce468d4b2e12c4a146ce55eac193f11feea0937cdd6a46a","beast-taming-starting-from-zero-chapter-270","beast-taming-starting-from-zero-chapter-268",1023,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fbeast-taming-starting-from-zero-cover.jpg"]
