Chapter 1137

2:00 PM.

Little Xiao Xunbao and Little Tingbao returned to the room looking exhausted.

Qiao Sang, who was meditating, opened her eyes and asked with a smile:

"How much money did you earn?"

Little Xiao Xunbao's body stiffened.

"Tingting."

Little Little Tinglong cried out, indicating that it seemed to have lost money.

Hearing this, Qiao Sang was stunned: "Did you lose many battles?"

Little Little Tinglong, as a dragon-type pet beast with dual electric attributes, shouldn't have lost many battles even without her there to command it, relying on its powerful traits and attributes.

"Tingting..."

Little Little Tinglong wore a shameful expression and cried out, indicating that many of the opponents who agreed to battle were much stronger than it, and it couldn't win.

It couldn't be that you didn't find beginner-level pet beasts to battle... Qiao Sang looked at Little Xiao Xunbao.

In her view, Little Xiao Xunbao was sharp and thinking about earning money, so it definitely would have used a pet beast identifier to check before picking an opponent, which is why she didn't think to remind it of this.

"Super Xunxun..."

Little Xiao Xunbao understood the meaning in its Beast Tamer's eyes, wore an "I couldn't help it" expression, and cried out.

It did indeed find pet beasts at the same level as Lao Liu, but those little guys didn't agree to battle when they saw Lao Liu, and even giving them more money didn't work; it had no choice but to find a few little guys at the intermediate level.

Those little guys at the intermediate level agreed, but Lao Liu lost.

Little Xiao Xunbao really hadn't expected this.

After all, when Little Tingbao battled its own Beast Tamer, it defeated several intermediate pet beasts to win the championship; it thought Little Tingbao challenging intermediate opponents across levels was an easy thing, but it didn't expect it to lose so miserably.

"Tingting..."

Little Tingbao became even more ashamed.

Pet beasts on Yan Yan Tianxing basically have some common sense; when beginner-level pet beasts see Little Tingbao, although they can't recognize its species, they definitely recognize it's dragon-type. The strength of dragon-type pet beasts among same-tier pet beasts is recognized, so it's normal that everyone doesn't want to fight a battle they are sure to lose... Qiao Sang thought of this and comforted it:

"It's okay, it's normal to win or lose in battles. Sometimes losing allows you to see your weaknesses better."

"Tingting."

Seeing that its Beast Tamer didn't dislike it, Little Tingbao breathed a sigh of relief, nodded, and cried out, indicating it felt the same way.

"Tingting."

As it spoke, Little Tingbao wore a serious expression and cried out again.

It felt its movement speed was too slow; many times when opponents attacked, it couldn't dodge, and it wanted to continue training its movement speed.

Qiao Sang was a bit surprised that Little Tingbao would say such a thing, so she couldn't help but answer seriously:

"Your movement speed isn't fast mainly because of your physical limitations. Once you evolve or learn movement-type skills, your speed will naturally increase. Now, to dodge opponents' skills, you should practice your reaction ability, and this ability can be quickly strengthened through battles."

With Little Tingbao's current form, even if it practiced movement speed, it wouldn't get much faster. It's better to use battles to increase points and strengthen reaction ability, dodging attacks with slight movements.

"Tingting."

Little Little Tinglong listened, nodded, and wore an "I understand" expression.

After speaking, it turned and crawled toward the door.

"Super Xunxun..."

Little Xiao Xunbao handed over the wallet.

Qiao Sang saw that Little Xiao Xunbao was in low spirits and comforted it:

"It's okay, Little Tingbao is young and doesn't have much battle experience, so it's normal to lose. I let it go out to battle just to increase its battle experience, not because it must win."

"Super Xunxun~"

Little Xiao Xunbao wore a touched expression; it knew its Beast Tamer wouldn't blame it.

Qiao Sang added:

"However, when you go out to find opponents for Little Tingbao in the future, it's best to find those at the same stage. If the other party doesn't want to battle, you can propose a way where they get money if they lose, and don't need to pay if they win. If that still doesn't work, use the Provoke skill."

"Super Xunxun?"

Little Xiao Xunbao was stunned, cried out, and indicated, didn't you say it was just to increase battle experience, not that it must win?

Hearing its Beast Tamer's meaning, why does it still seem like she wants to win?

I was just comforting you, why are you taking it seriously? Of course, you must win, otherwise how can you increase points... Qiao Sang coughed and said:

"Although the goal isn't that you must win, losing too much will affect Little Tingbao's self-confidence, and sometimes battling opponents at the same stage allows for progress."

After listening, Little Xiao Xunbao remembered the scene where Lubao evolved into King-level and defeated it in one move during training, and nodded with empathy:

"Super Xunxun~"

That makes sense; it will help Lao Liu find opponents properly in the future.

"Go train," Qiao Sang said.

"Super Xunxun?"

Hearing this, Little Xiao Xunbao couldn't help but cry out, indicating, isn't my substitute already training?

Qiao Sang smiled: "Isn't it because you've already returned?"

Little Xiao Xunbao: "..."

"Super Xunxun..."

Little Xiao Xunbao floated reluctantly into the black hole that appeared out of thin air.

The next second, a black hole appeared out of thin air in the open-air training ground.

Little Xiao Xunbao crawled out from it.

"Super Xunxun!"

The substitute that was training stopped its movements, looked at Little Xiao Xunbao, wiped the non-existent sweat from its forehead, and wore a happy "you finally came" expression.

"Super Xunxun..."

Little Xiao Xunbao was tired before it even started training and nodded with exhaustion.

At the same time, the substitute disappeared.

Inside the room, Qiao Sang put the wallet aside, her consciousness entered the Beast Taming Canon, quickly flipped to the page about Little Tingbao, and her gaze fell on the last line.

【Points: 250】

Although it lost a lot, it seems it still won against a few opponents... Qiao Sang added the 250 points to the level without hesitation.

The value after the level represents energy; only with more energy can Little Tingbao train and continue to battle for longer periods.

Qiao Sang's consciousness returned to the present, and amidst the fresh scent of grass and trees, she continued to meditate.

7:10 PM, dining table.

Little Tingbao was sweeping through the energy pills, its appetite greatly increased.

"Why is Little Little Tinglong's appetite so good today?" Teacher Mi Mi Jiala asked.

"Maybe it battled too many times today and trained for a long time, so it's tired," Qiao Sang said.

Teacher Mi Mi Jiala withdrew her gaze, accepting this explanation.

Qiao Sang took a sip of soup and asked:

"Do we have any arrangements for the next steps?"

Teacher Mi Mi Jiala said unhurriedly:

"Just waiting for news about the Sun Crystal and the Li Fire Crystal."

Qiao Sang remembered something and said: "Speaking of the Sun Crystal, when I went to help register information at the Beast Taming Center today, the staff there said that the championship prize for the recent Master Challenge Cups has included a Sun Crystal."

After finishing, she suggested:

"Why don't we wait for this Master Challenge Cup, see who wins the championship, and then go find them to see if we can conduct a trade."

Teacher Mi Mi Jiala pondered and said:

"That is one method, but this item is considered a treasure, and it's hard for anyone to be willing to take it out for trade. If we haven't found the Sun Crystal before the Master Challenge Cup is held, we can try that."

"Understood." Qiao Sang asked casually: "Then when is the next Master Challenge Cup held?"

Teacher Mi Mi Jiala thought for a moment and said: "It should be about half a year from now."

Half a year, that's not too long... Qiao Sang thought to herself.

At this time, Teacher Mi Mi Jiala changed the subject:

"I have things to do outside these few days, arrange your own time."

Qiao Sang was stunned: "What things? Is that important matter from today not finished yet?"

"That's right." Teacher Mi Mi Jiala chewed her food and said calmly: "It's not convenient to disclose the specific matters."

We're going to be together for decades, yet you're still so secretive with me... Qiao Sang nodded and said: "I understand."

After eating, Teacher Mi Mi Jiala returned to her room, sat cross-legged on the bed, closed her eyes, and checked her brain domain.

Then she opened her eyes, sighed, picked up the phone on the side, and bought tickets to the Valley of Flowers for the next few days.

The full moon hung high.

Bedroom.

Qiao Sang lay half-reclined on the bed, looking at books about Yan Yan Tianxing pet beasts.

"Xia Xia."

Suddenly, Xia Xia Lala cried out.

Qiao Sang turned her head to look at Xia Xia Lala staying in the flowerpot and asked:

"What's wrong?"

"Xia Xia." Xia Xia Lala pointed to its own head.

Qiao Sang was silent for a moment and said in her mind:

"Gangbao, come translate quickly."

After speaking, she said gently: "Wait a moment, I'll have Gangbao come over to translate."

"Xia Xia."

Xia Xia Lala nodded obediently.

After about ten seconds, Gangbao opened the door and flew in.

"Xia Xia."

Xia Xia Lala repeated what it had just said.

"Gangqiu."

Gangbao cried out, helping to translate.

It said it wanted to be watered.

Qiao Sang was stunned and asked: "Like watering flowers?"

"Xia Xia."

Xia Xia Lala nodded.

Before Qiao Sang could get up to go out, Gangbao flew out first.

Qiao Sang understood what Gangbao was going to do and stopped moving.

Not long after, Gangbao flew in with a watering can in its mouth.

Qiao Sang got up, took the watering can, and sprayed it on Xia Xia Lala's head.

"Xia Xia~"

Xia Xia Lala's eyes curved, wearing a comfortable expression.

Qiao Sang asked with amusement:

"Do you usually need to be watered?"

"Xia Xia."

Xia Xia Lala cried out, indicating it only needs to be watered every once in a while, so it will grow a bit faster.

"Gangqiu."

Gangbao helped translate.

So watering makes Xia Xia Lala grow faster; the books never mentioned this... Qiao Sang sighed internally, and while watering, she said gently:

"Just tell me whenever you need to be watered in the future."

"Xia Xia."

Xia Xia Lala wore a happy smile and nodded.

After watering, Gangbao flew out of the room, and Qiao Sang returned to the bed and picked up the book again.

Just then, the phone screen lit up.

Qiao Sang had sharp eyes, saw this, picked up the phone, and found it was a message from the official backend of the Imperial Beast Taming Academy. She subconsciously clicked it open and found it was a private message:

【Zhuang**: I have an SS-level Pure Night Stone, I only need a same-level Ice Sky Stone in exchange, I don't know if you have one.】

SS-level Pure Night Stone?!

Qiao Sang's eyes lit up, and she quickly typed:

【I don't have one, and I'm on Yan Yan Tianxing right now so I can't get an Ice Sky Stone. You name a price, I can use points for the exchange.】

The other party didn't reply.

After waiting for about ten minutes, Qiao Sang couldn't help but send another message:

【Really, just name a price. I really need the Pure Night Stone. If you don't need points, you can tell me about any other materials or items unique to Yan Yan Tianxing, and I'll find a way to get them for you.】

The other party still didn't reply.

Just as Qiao Sang was disappointed, a new message finally appeared in the chat interface:

【Zhuang**: SS-level Ice Gu Huan Crystal. If you can find it and mail it to me within a month, I'll make this trade with you.】

Ice Gu Huan Crystal, an ice-type material from Yan Yan Tianxing, can strengthen the cold air controlled by ice-type pet beasts... Qiao Sang didn't hesitate at all and typed:

【Okay!】

Although SS-level materials are hard to find, agreeing to this condition is definitely not wrong. The Imperial Beast Taming Academy has Gui Lun Saier; as long as she finds the SS-level Ice Gu Huan Crystal within a month, she can just have Gui Lun Saier send it over... Qiao Sang restrained her excitement and dialed Kang Yang's number.

They had exchanged contact information when they were at the Pet Beast Hydrotherapy Center.

After a few rings, the call connected.

"Junior sister, why are you calling me suddenly? Is something wrong?" Kang Yang's voice came from the speaker.

"Senior brother, do you know if there's any news about an SS-level Ice Gu Huan Crystal?" Qiao Sang went straight to the point.

"SS-level Ice Gu Huan Crystal..." Kang Yang said with difficulty: "You also know the weather conditions on Yan Yan Tianxing; ice-type materials are generally quite rare, let alone materials of such a high level."

Hearing this, Qiao Sang felt slightly disappointed.

Kang Yang continued:

"However, you can go to Ten Thousand Ice Island to take a look. That's considered the coldest place on Yan Yan Tianxing, frozen year-round, and many high-level ice-type materials come from there."

He paused and added:

"I heard that it's the territory of the Zha Bing Ling. If you go there, just be careful not to get close to its habitat."

Qiao Sang's hope was reignited, and she said:

"Understood, thank you, senior brother."

After speaking, she hung up the phone.

Zha Bing Ling, an ice-type Emperor-level pet beast, has a bad temper and likes to freeze humans and pet beasts it fancies, taking them to its habitat to use as decorations... Information related to it flashed through Qiao Sang's mind, but she didn't feel particularly nervous.

With Teacher Teacher Mi Mi Jiala there, there shouldn't be any problems.

The important thing is to find the SS-level Ice Gu Huan Crystal as soon as possible; after all, there's only one month.

Thinking of this, Qiao Sang picked up her phone and searched for the address of Ten Thousand Ice Island.

The next day, early morning.

Teacher Mi Mi Jiala sat at the dining table, eating a simple breakfast, and said:

"I'm going out for a while later."

Qiao Sang was silent for a moment and said:

"I want to go to Ten Thousand Ice Island."

Teacher Mi Mi Jiala looked over: "Why?"

Qiao Sang simply explained the matter of needing the Ice Gu Huan Crystal to trade for the Pure Night Stone.

After listening, Teacher Mi Mi Jiala asked: "When do you want to go?"

"The sooner the better, the other party only gave me one month," Qiao Sang said.

"I understand," Teacher Mi Mi Jiala took a sip of milk and said: "Then pack up, we'll leave today."

Huh? Qiao Sang was stunned and asked:

"Didn't you say you had important things to do outside these few days?"

Teacher Mi Mi Jiala said calmly: "My business won't be finished in a short while. By comparison, your matter is more important."

Pen Jia Mei lowered its head and ate energy pills, as if it hadn't heard this.

Long Dawang rolled its eyes.

Teacher... Qiao Sang was moved.
