Didn't I tell you not to train right now and to rest for a couple of days?\" The man said, still in a handstand, addressing the bandaged pet.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Yan Yan.\" The pet doing the handstand nodded in agreement.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Spike...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Spike Warrior lowered its head, looking weighed down, with no spirit left.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seeing this, the man ended his handstand, grabbed a water bottle from the nearby table, took a few sips, and said to Spike Warrior:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Don't worry.

At this time, he probably hasn't gone home yet.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With that, he walked inside.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A Beast Master specializing in training combat-type pets…Qiao Sang recalled Zhang Shuzhou’s introduction of Liu Qijia’s dad as she followed behind.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Just then, Little Treasure perched on her head twitched his nose, as if smelling something enticing. He drifted off, looking enraptured.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Liu Qijia had only taken a few steps into the gym when a burly man approached and greeted him:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Hey, isn’t this Old Liu's son? What brings you here? Don’t you have school?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Liu Qijia replied without missing a beat, \"No evening classes today. I'm just here with a friend to see my dad. Uncle Fang, where’s my dad?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Instead of answering, Uncle Fang asked, \"A friend? Where's your friend?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Liu Qijia froze, glancing around, suddenly bewildered.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Where did Qiao the Great go?!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Just call your dad.\" Uncle Fang finally answered.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"He’s around here somewhere, but I’m not sure which room he’s in.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>---\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Meanwhile, Qiao Sang, following Little Treasure, called out, \"Where are you going?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She was baffled.What was up with the Little Treasure?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Why did he suddenly drift away?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Xun…”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Little Treasure sniffed the air, drifting in a certain direction.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After a while, he stopped in a corner.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Xun xun!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Little Treasure pointed excitedly at a pet practicing a handstand in the corner.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This guy smells amazing! I want to absorb it!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Qiao Sang was initially taken aback, then looked at the pet in the corner in shock.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Could it be that the Spike Warrior was close to death?!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Qiao Sang recognized the pet right away.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Spike Warrior, a combat-type, beginner-level pet that spins like a top in battles. When it spins at high speeds, its head spike can drill straight into the ground.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was incredibly resilient, able to survive in any environment.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Logically, a Spike Warrior should at least be able to evolve into an intermediate-level pet; it shouldn’t be on the verge of death so young, Qiao Sang thought.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But after hearing the Little Treasure, she instantly recalled the old woman and her Ghost Lamp from her first mission.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Back then, Little Treasure had also wanted to absorb.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>What attracted him then had been death energy.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>While Qiao Sang was lost in thought, the Spike Warrior attempted a one-handed handstand with its right hand but wobbled, failing to last two seconds.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Bang!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Spike Warrior fell again.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In that moment, Qiao Sang’s guess was confirmed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A combat-type pet like Spike Warrior, normally, a handstand should be no challenge. Failing to hold it for even two seconds was telling.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Qiao Sang looked at the Spike Warrior with a complicated expression.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This... it was still just a kid!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Spike...\" The Spike Warrior slumped in defeat, looking heartbroken.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At that moment, it heard a human voice.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Lubao, hit it with a Healing Light.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Lu.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Before the Spike Warrior could react, a bright blue light bathed it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Spike?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Spike Warrior froze, feeling a warm sensation flow through it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It felt... somehow different.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>When the blue light faded, the person who had spoken stood before it and said, \"Don't worry, you’re not going to die.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Spike Warrior: ???\u003C\u002Fp>",1102,"2026-06-06T02:23:08.562Z",1,"novelbin.me","7f16b0ac6cf879438cccc44f4d412796ece52eda6e26b91dddc1d3b35821351b","beast-taming-starting-from-zero-chapter-289","beast-taming-starting-from-zero-chapter-287",1023,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fbeast-taming-starting-from-zero-cover.jpg"]
