Ghost-type Beast from Blue Star Appears in a Morgue!]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Damn, that's quite a title…Qiao Sang glanced at the video below.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was surveillance footage, showing the moment Little Treasure used spatial shift on Basement Level 1 to teleport Doreen and the \"little girl\" away.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Below the video was also an introduction to the Ghost Ring Phantom.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Qiao Sang scrolled down and found plenty of user comments.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[Ha! A ghost-type beast that can teleport? That’s rich.]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[Never seen a ghost-type pet like this before.]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[A high-level ghost-type? Isn’t it a bit too small?

A man and his lover killed his two children. That girl’s one of them.]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Qiao Sang went back to the trending list, but didn’t see any such news.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At that moment, Elma asked, “You were there at the time, right? Saw it all?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Qiao Sang put down her phone and responded, “Yeah.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Elma cursed, “Didn’t think there’d be such scum even in 1st District. Thank god for those vengeful spirits, or else those two would’ve gotten away with it.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hearing that, Qiao Sang asked, “What happened to the woman later?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Elma thought for a moment and said: “News said the Yodu didn’t go after her, but the police arrested her that same night.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Qiao Sang thought to herself,So the kids really resented their father more...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Elma couldn’t help glancing at the heartbroken Ghost Ring Phantom beside her.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Others might not know, but she did, this ghost-type beast even knew the Fighting moveBric-Breaking.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A ghost-type that can use Fighting and Psychic skills? That’s just… insane…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Little Treasure didn’t know others had already labeled himinsane.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He was still moping over the comment about his small size, so much that he was totally distracted during the next round of training.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Gang Guard.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Gangbao noticed Little Treasure was out of it and called out, signaling to pause.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Qiao Sang noticed the issue too.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>While standing there and tanking attacks, she asked, “What’s wrong?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Xun xun…”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Little Treasure looked at Gangbao and sighed deeply.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He felt ashamed that as the second eldest, he was actually smaller than the fourth in size…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>You’re just realizing this now?Qiao Sang organized her thoughts and said:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“When you evolve, your size will increase.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Xun xun…”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Little Treasure gave his Beast Master a sorrowful look, he had already seen his evolved forms, and the size didn’t change much.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Qiao Sang:…Totally forgot about that.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Elma joined the conversation.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“What’s wrong with the Ghost Ring Phantom?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Nothing.” Qiao Sang replied.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“He’s just upset about being too small.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She understood Little Treasure well, what he considered a big issue now would blow over in a few minutes. He was pretty good at letting things go.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Elma thought for a moment and said:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“There’s a ghost-type move called ‘Shadow of the Darkness.’ It can create a phantom that’s ten or even a hundred times bigger than the beast itself. If it wants to look more imposing, it could learn that.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>So this is make up for size with a move, huh…Qiao Sang smiled. She was about to explain that the phantom was just an illusion. It could create visual pressure, but wouldn’t deal more damage.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Xun xun!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She opened her mouth, hadn’t even said the first word, and Little Treasure's eyes were already sparkling with excitement.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He wanted to learn this move!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Qiao Sang: …\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“The most important thing for you right now is to train in Shadow Control and finish evolving.” She said helplessly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Little Treasure always acted on impulse. She was honestly afraid he would now waste time training a flashy but impractical move.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Despite the cool name, the move wasn’t all that useful.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Little Treasure’s opponents were usually his level. Even after evolving to General level, his opponents would still be General level.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Those beasts were usually six meters tall. Even if he created an illusion ten times his own size, he’d still seem smaller to his opponents.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Unless he trained the move to the point where the illusion was a hundred times bigger.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But as levels increased, so did the size of the opponents. Honestly, this move wouldn’t be all that helpful in future competitions.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Xun xun!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Little Treasure raised a paw like a fist in front of his face, full of resolve.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He would finish training, evolve, then train that move!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Qiao Sang: …\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As long as you’re happy…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Now that Little Treasure had temporary motivation, Qiao Sang decided not to crush his enthusiasm about the move being useless. She nodded calmly and said:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I believe in you.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Xun xun!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hearing his Beast Master’s words, Little Treasure's spirits rose even more. With a serious expression, he hooked his tiny claw at Gangbao to signal the training should continue.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Gang Guard.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Finally back in the zone...Gangbao nodded with a barely noticeable look of satisfaction.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>---\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As the sun set, clouds in the sky were painted with golden hues.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Qiao Sang returned to her rented villa, exhausted.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The moment she stepped inside and saw no black leather shoes at the entrance, she knew the vice principal hadn’t come back yet.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She drank a fitness supplement and took a bath with a fortification serum.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The soreness faded quickly, replaced by a hot spring-like comfort. She felt a surge of energy fill her body, even stronger than when healed by Healing Light.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Could it be that I’ve finished the first phase of training...?Qiao Sang wondered.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After soaking a while longer, she got out, dried off, put on pajamas, and went to her room to grab her phone and ask the coach how to tell when Phase 1 was complete.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But then she saw Little Treasure at the computer, tapping away rapidly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>What the- he's gaming now?!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Qiao Sang froze, then quietly tiptoed behind Little Treasure.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She saw him using 3D-mode Shadow Control to type a reply under a comment:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[Ghost Ring Phantom will grow big someday!]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Qiao Sang: !!!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“You know how to type now?!” She exclaimed, eyes sparkling with shock.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Xun xun…”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Little Treasure was startled and held up a tinyjust a littlehand gesture.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He was a bit nervous.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>So many students in TV shows use computers... If he learns, will he have to go to school too someday...?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A genius!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He’s a genius!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Qiao Sang stared at him with admiration, ready to shower him with praise.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Just then, her phone buzzed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Qiao Sang calmed herself, picked it up, and saw it was a call from Blue Star. She answered:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Hello?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Hi, this is the admissions office of the Imperial Beast University. Is this Qiao Sang?” Came a mature woman’s voice.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Imperial Beast University?Qiao Sang blinked, then quickly answered, “Yes, that’s me.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Are you in front of your computer right now?” The woman asked.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Qiao Sang looked at the screen.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I am.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Great. Please don’t turn it off. Your exchange paperwork for Yulianton University has been finalized. We’re sending it over now. Just give the documents to Yulianton later.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The moment she finished speaking, the computer screen suddenly turned black.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then rings of ripples appeared in the center.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A mechanical claw, dark iron in color and intricately designed, reached out, handing over a sealed file.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Having seen this kind of transfer once before, Qiao Sang was much calmer this time. She reached out and took the file.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The claw began to retract.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Xun xun~”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But halfway back, Little Treasure grabbed the claw, curiously poking and squeezing it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The claw seemed confused and froze.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Qiao Sang’s lips twitched.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Little Treasure, let go.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Xun xun…”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Reluctantly, Little Treasure released it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The claw, sensing danger, hurriedly pulled back, as if afraid it might get grabbed again.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The screen returned to normal.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Did you receive it?” The woman asked.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I did.” Qiao Sang replied, glancing at the file in her hand.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Good. Have a wonderful holiday.” With that, the call ended.\u003C\u002Fp>",1342,"2026-06-06T02:23:25.891Z",1,"novelbin.me","71a7d7a16157a0f59d26c087f993aa4b6f04b5bb03e883319b46fbea3a74433b","beast-taming-starting-from-zero-chapter-673","beast-taming-starting-from-zero-chapter-671",1023,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fbeast-taming-starting-from-zero-cover.jpg"]
