Chapter 1388

It rarely rains in Yantian Star all year round, especially in Tanguo.

However, in order to experience the atmosphere of rain and for the sake of some oases, every once in a while, they still have pet beasts perform nationwide rainfall here. To make the rainy atmosphere more intense, the pet beasts invited usually also add the casting of lightning.

The latter's lightning is not cast continuously, but rather by using the rainfall cast by Water-type pet beasts and Flying-type pet beasts to lift the air to a certain height to form cloud layers, combined with a period of lightning guidance, thereby causing natural lightning to appear in the natural world.

This will last for an entire day.

Outside the villa, there is heavy rain and lightning.

The black sky presses down, and the heavy rain falls continuously.

"Boom, boom, boom!"

With one loud sound after another, countless magnificent bolts of lightning flash across the clouds.

Qiao Sang observed for a moment, and after confirming it was already natural lightning, she nodded at Little Tingbao.

"Ting-ting."

Little Tingbao let out a cry, twisted its body, and flew toward the sky that was continuously flashing with lightning.

"You still haven't given up on the idea of letting the Thunder-Reversing Dragon participate in the Master Challenge?" Teacher Mi Mi Jiala asked from the side while watching the silhouette that was gradually becoming smaller in the high sky.

"The Master Challenge is a 6v6 comprehensive battle; Little Tingbao should participate by nature," Qiao Sang said.

"You know what I mean," Teacher Mi Mi Jiala said.

It is true that the Master Challenge is a comprehensive battle, but it basically looks at battles between King-tier pet beasts. In individual cases where the sides are evenly matched, only after the King-tier pet beasts of both sides have fallen is it possible to see battles between King-tier and King-tier pet beasts, as well as between General-tier and General-tier pet beasts.

Advanced-tier pet beasts basically have no presence in the Master Challenge.

Qiao Sang could defeat the five King-tier pet beasts of the Yan Class students directly while sending out two King-tier pet beasts, so she should put more time into the King-tier pet beasts, rather than an Advanced-tier pet beast that doesn't even know if it can appear on the field.

"I still hope Little Tingbao can appear on the field once," Qiao Sang said.

Among the remaining contestants, nearly half still possess General-tier pet beasts. As long as Little Tingbao evolves, it is not without a chance to appear and win the match. Her golden finger will inevitably enable Little Tingbao to evolve during the competition. Of course, it is inconvenient to tell Teacher Teacher Mi Mi Jiala about this.

Ever since Little Tingbao signed the contract with her, it was like it had completed a certain goal, suddenly losing its motivation, and its personality had become much more laid-back. But ever since it signed up for the Master Challenge, after watching the matches time and again, she could see that Little Tingbao was still infected by the atmosphere of the competition and wanted to participate.

Otherwise, it wouldn't have been training beyond the time she arranged recently; this is something that had never happened before.

You have to know, Little Tingbao's training time in the past was as punctual as a worker who doesn't need to work overtime.

High in the sky, rain falls.

"Boom!"

Yellow lightning suddenly struck down from the thunderclouds.

Little Tingbao looked at the yellow lightning that was constantly moving like a thunder snake in the sky, its expression full of determination. Without hesitation, it rushed into the thunder snake, opened its mouth, and swallowed one of the yellow lightning bolts in one gulp.

In the garden, the leaves of a plant fell in the heavy rain, turned yellow and withered, and then turned into powder.

At the same time.

Jiang Jing Villa.

The room with the best view.

"Cun-cun."

Cunzhupa opened its eyes on the sofa and let out a cry.

Li Li Chaoyuan stood in front of the floor-to-ceiling window, drinking tea while admiring the heavy rain outside, and said in a leisurely manner:

"That Thunder-Reversing Dragon should have the Lightning-Swallowing trait; there is nothing strange about swallowing lightning."

After finishing, he asked, "What about the Nether Ring Monarch and the others? Did they see anything?"

"Cun-cun." Cunzhupa shook its head.

Li Li Chaoyuan asked again, "Has Qiao Sang's new training address been scouted out?"

"Cun-cun." Cunzhupa shook its head.

Li Li Chaoyuan said unhurriedly, "They know of your existence; they will definitely train in a place without plants. You should go scout with your main body, instead of relying on root-vein synchronization again."

"Cun-cun." Cunzhupa let out a cry, indicating that it knew, but it didn't want to go today.

"Why?" Li Li Chaoyuan asked.

"Cun-cun." Cunzhupa looked at the heavy rain outside, touched the leaf on its head, and let out a cry.

It didn't want any accidents to happen to Little Xiao Xunbao's autograph.

Li Li Chaoyuan: "..."

Outside the villa.

"Qing-qing!"

Xia Xia Lala pointed at the direction where the fallen leaves disappeared and hurriedly let out a cry.

"It's fine," Qiao Sang said. "It doesn't matter if this is seen."

"Qing-qing."

Xia Xia Lala revealed an "Oh, that's good" expression.

Time passed bit by bit.

After about half an hour, Teacher Mi Mi Jiala walked out of the villa with milk, looked at the lightning still flashing continuously in the high sky, frowned, and said, "Hasn't the Thunder-Reversing Dragon come down yet?"

"No," Qiao Sang replied.

Teacher Mi Mi Jiala said thoughtfully, "I remember the level of the Lightning-Swallowing trait checked at the time was only B-level."

This means that a B-level Lightning-Swallowing trait shouldn't swallow lightning for such a long time.

Except for the S-level Lightning-Swallowing trait, Lightning-Swallowing traits of other levels can only swallow lightning power that is energy-refined. Swallowing lightning power that is not refined enough can only produce a feeling of fullness and will not increase physical strength or energy. If too much lightning power that is not pure enough is swallowed, it will instead cause damage to the body.

Although Little Tingbao is swallowing lightning power with pure energy at this time, its own level is not high, and the Lightning-Swallowing trait is only B-level. Swallowing for too long will also cause damage to the body.

"It is B-level..." Qiao Sang said while sensing Little Tingbao's physical condition. "However, Little Tingbao's body doesn't seem to have any problems yet..."

In the heavy rain and lightning, Little Tingbao's silhouette constantly changed positions in the air, nimbly shuttling through the high-frequency yellow lightning, and taking the opportunity to pick a bolt of yellow lightning to swallow.

Every time it swallowed a bolt of lightning, Little Tingbao didn't immediately swallow another one, but instead kept shuttling through the heavy rain and lightning, taking the opportunity to digest it. When it felt that the lightning in its body was digested enough, it continued to act and swallowed the next bolt of lightning.

Time passed slowly.

Another hour passed.

"The Thunder-Reversing Dragon still hasn't had any problems?" Teacher Mi Mi Jiala came out of the villa and, seeing Qiao Sang still staying outside looking up at the high sky, couldn't help but ask again.

"No..." Qiao Sang felt a bit uncertain.

The result she sensed was indeed that there were no problems, but according to the information about the Lightning-Swallowing trait, Little Tingbao shouldn't have been able to absorb it for such a long time...

Could it be that she sensed it wrong?

That's impossible; she is an A-level Beast Tamer after all...

But in terms of Little Tingbao's level and the Lightning-Swallowing trait, it shouldn't have been able to persist for even half an hour...

Thinking of this, Qiao Sang subconsciously turned her head to look in the direction of Like Ya Bao.

Seeing that Like Ya Bao's attention wasn't here, she knew that Like Ya Bao was currently controlling its clones to train, so she looked in the direction of Little Xiao Xunbao, wanting to let it go up and take a look.

"Xun-xun~"

Little Xiao Xunbao noticed its Beast Tamer's gaze, instantly understood something, and let out a cry, indicating that it would go over right now.

After finishing, its eyes glowed with blue light.

However, just at this moment, there was a loud "boom" in the sky.

The terrifying yellow lightning illuminated the entire dim sky for an instant.

"Xun-xun..."

Little Xiao Xunbao shivered, the blue light in its eyes dissipated, and it looked at its Beast Tamer, revealing a solemn expression and letting out a cry, indicating that it suddenly felt it should go train too...

Qiao Sang's mouth twitched: "It's raining now."

"Xun-xun."

Little Xiao Xunbao let out a cry, indicating it's fine, it will go indoors.

After finishing, it floated toward the indoor training room inside the villa, then looked back every three steps to see if its Beast Tamer would call it back.

"Qing-qing."

Seeing Qingbao looked in the direction where Little Xiao Xunbao was leaving, revealed a mocking expression, and let out a cry, indicating it was a coward.

Afterward, it looked at its Beast Tamer, revealed a sweet smile, and let out another cry:

"Qing-qing."

It will go help check on Old Six's situation.

After saying that, it turned into wind and disappeared, floating upward.

Not long after, Seeing Qingbao floated back and let out a cry:

"Qing-qing."

Old Six is fine; it's just swallowing lightning normally.

"Has it been swallowing lightning the whole time?" Qiao Sang asked.

"Qing-qing." Seeing Qingbao let out a cry, indicating it will go check again.

Then, it turned into wind and disappeared again.

After about nearly ten minutes, Seeing Qingbao reappeared and let out a cry:

"Qing-qing."

Old Six hasn't been swallowing lightning the whole time; it swallowed some, rested for a while, and then continued swallowing.

Qiao Sang was stunned for a moment, then her eyes lit up, and she remarked with genuine emotion: "Little Tingbao is smart!"

Swallowing lightning continuously will cause indigestion, and the body will suffer damage instead. But if it waits until the swallowed lightning is digested before swallowing again, this problem won't occur.

Of course, it's impossible to keep swallowing forever; after all, the lightning absorbed by an Advanced-tier pet beast is limited. However, the time it can swallow will definitely be longer than the time it would have if it kept swallowing without absorbing, and the energy absorbed will definitely be more.

Qiao Sang once again looked squarely at Little Tingbao's IQ.

It seems Little Tingbao is even smarter than she imagined...

Also, among so many of her pet beasts, even one as smart as Gangbao wouldn't learn to speak human language like Little Tingbao...

As thoughts flashed, Gangbao's voice suddenly sounded in her mind:

"Gang, gang, gang..."

It was trying to speak human language.

Qiao Sang couldn't control herself and burst out laughing.

The sound of Gangbao in her mind stopped abruptly.

At this time, Teacher Mi Mi Jiala asked from the side: "What is the situation with the Thunder-Reversing Dragon?"

"Little Tingbao isn't swallowing lightning continuously, but rather swallowing it, digesting it for a period of time, and then swallowing again," Qiao Sang explained.

"That is smart," Teacher Mi Mi Jiala remarked with emotion after hearing it.

After a pause, she added: "However, still pay attention to the Thunder-Reversing Dragon's physical condition; if anything is wrong, summon it back."

"Understood," Qiao Sang replied.

2:30 PM.

Little Tingbao flew down from the high sky while hiccuping.

"Impressive, actually swallowing lightning for such a long time," Qiao Sang, who had been waiting below, praised.

"Ting-ting?"

Little Tingbao curled its mouth, revealed a "piece of cake" expression, and then let out a cry, indicating how much longer until it evolves?

It had always known that its Beast Tamer was preparing to let it appear on the field after it evolved.

"As long as you swallow lightning a few more times like you just did, it should be soon," Qiao Sang said, then sighed: "It's just a pity that we missed this time; the next time such weather appears should be after the Master Challenge ends."

"But it's fine, we can evolve through other ways."

"Ting-ting?" Little Tingbao asked curiously.

What are the other ways?

"Just the normal training way," Qiao Sang said.

"Ting-ting."

Little Tingbao was silent for two seconds and let out a cry, indicating that it felt it could swallow lightning a few more times later.

Sure enough, Little Tingbao is very motivated about participating in the Master Challenge... Qiao Sang sighed inwardly and said: "Training and swallowing lightning can both be done. You go train your skills first; when the energy is consumed, go swallow lightning. This lightning will last for another half a day."

"Ting-ting."

Little Tingbao nodded, then twisted its body, wanting to fly to the high sky.

"Wait," Qiao Sang said hurriedly.

Little Tingbao stopped its movement and turned to look at her: "Ting-ting?"

"It's raining and thundering now; you can go train indoors," Qiao Sang said.

"Ting-ting."

Little Tingbao let out a cry, indicating it isn't afraid of thunder and rain.

After a pause, it added another cry:

"Ting-ting."

Even if the way it trains is seen by that pet beast called Cunzhupa, it doesn't matter. Anyway, it is only Advanced-tier; it and the Beast Tamer behind it probably won't care about it.

That's true, but... Qiao Sang said seriously: "How can it not matter? You are going to participate in the competition officially later; the skills you train certainly cannot be leaked."

"Ting-ting."

Upon hearing this, Little Tingbao was stunned for a moment, then its eyes lit up, it nodded, and twisted its body to fly indoors.

Compared to before, the amplitude of its twisting was much larger, clearly in a happy state.

Just at this moment, Teacher Mi Mi Jiala happened to walk out from indoors and brushed past it.

Little Tingbao glanced at her, and the amplitude of its twisting instantly became much smaller.

Teacher Mi Mi Jiala: "???"

After Little Tingbao left, Teacher Mi Mi Jiala couldn't help but ask: "Did the Thunder-Reversing Dragon just glare at me?"

"Mo-mo."

The Dragon King sat on the sofa, picking its nose and letting out a cry, indicating that it's normal for it to glare at you, isn't it? It has never liked you.

Teacher Mi Mi Jiala: "..."

For the rest of the time, Little Tingbao would go out to swallow lightning after training, and when it couldn't swallow lightning anymore, it would come back to continue training.

This repeated until 10:00 PM, when the lightning disappeared and the heavy rain stopped.

"Ting-ting..."

Little Tingbao returned to the living room with a bulging belly, twisting its body, sighed, and let out a cry, indicating that this lightning disappeared too quickly; it felt it could still absorb some more.

Qiao Sang looked at its belly and said: "I think you should digest the lightning you just absorbed first."

"Ting-ting."

Little Tingbao nodded, then let out a cry, indicating it will go train a bit so it digests faster.

You really have to say, as long as Little Tingbao has a goal, it really makes people worry-free... Qiao Sang sighed inwardly and nodded:

"Okay."

Little Tingbao headed to the indoor training room.

Qiao Sang brought her consciousness to the Beast Taming Canon and quickly flipped to the page about Little Tingbao.
