Chapter 444

Actually, besides Fire-type skills, Like Ya Bao is not completely without other destructive skills—that is, Hyper Beam.

It's just that Like Ya Bao has never practiced Hyper Beam, and it is currently only at the entry level.

Relying on an entry-level Hyper Beam, she cannot guarantee that she can defeat the Fire-Covered Bird in one hit.

However, this is not a big problem. Whether by adding points or practicing directly, she can train the proficiency of Hyper Beam to the minor achievement level before the national competition is held.

If she really uses Hyper Beam as a trump card, the point to consider is how to ensure that Hyper Beam can accurately hit the Fire-Covered Bird, after all, after performing Hyper Beam, one cannot move for a certain period of time.

If this doesn't hit, Like Ya Bao will be the one finished.

Qiao Sang's train of thought is very clear, and she quickly formulated the direction for the next training.

First, let Like Ya Bao practice Hyper Beam to the minor achievement level to ensure that when this move hits the Fire-Covered Bird, it can directly defeat it.

As for how to ensure that Hyper Beam can hit the Fire-Covered Bird 100%, she still needs to constantly improve the plan in the upcoming training.

Thinking of it, she did it. Qiao Sang looked at Like Ya Bao: "Next, let's practice the skill release of Hyper Beam."

"Ya!"

Hearing her Beast Tamer's words, Like Ya Bao immediately put down the gravity steel balls and channeled its energy, wanting to perform Hyper Beam.

"Wait!" Seeing a white energy containing terrifying power condensing in Like Ya Bao's mouth, Qiao Sang was startled and shouted quickly: "Don't practice here!"

Although she hadn't seen a pet perform Hyper Beam in reality, she had seen it many times in movies and TV shows.

With that power, if she practiced it directly inside the hotel, she would probably appear on the news in the Zhongkong Region tomorrow.

Fortunately, Like Ya Bao now operates its energy freely, and upon hearing this, it dissipated the Hyper Beam that hadn't been released yet.

Phew... Seeing this, Qiao Sang silently breathed a sigh of relief and said: "I'll find a suitable place, and then we'll practice."

"Ya!"

Like Ya Bao nodded.

The sun gradually sank below the horizon, and night had not yet fallen.

An open-air training ground.

Like Ya Bao, Little Xunbao, and Lubao were training separately.

Qiao Sang was recording on the side: 【Proficient-level Hyper Beam, 8 seconds】

With a large amount of B-grade energy recovery liquid as a means of recovery, it only took one afternoon for Like Ya Bao to practice Hyper Beam from entry level to proficient.

Qiao Sang keenly discovered that after performing an entry-level Hyper Beam, the time one cannot move is 9 seconds, while for a proficient-level Hyper Beam, it is 8 seconds.

Looking at it this way, as proficiency increases, the time one cannot move after performing Hyper Beam will also decrease...

Just as Qiao Sang was thinking, by a bush more than twenty meters away from her.

"Did you see it?" a dark-skinned man asked.

"Lailai." Beside him, a pet about 70 centimeters tall, generally yellow in color, with the corners of its mouth pulled down, a face looking very haggard, and resembling a salamander, nodded.

"Wait, you just fall down next to that Hyper Beam," the man said. "If this job succeeds, I'll take you out for a big meal tonight."

"Lailai!" Upon hearing this, the pet with the haggard face subconsciously drooled. It sniffed, sucked the saliva back into its mouth, showed a serious expression, and nodded vigorously.

On this side, Like Ya Bao drank a mouthful of energy recovery liquid and continued to perform Hyper Beam.

Then, it stayed in place and couldn't move.

"Ah ah ah! My Lailai Da!" A voice rang out abruptly.

Following the voice, a man ran over with a panicked expression.

Qiao Sang looked over at the sound and found that on the previously empty ground, a pet that was closing its eyes and collapsed on the ground had appeared out of nowhere.

The position where it collapsed was exactly the range where Like Ya Bao had just performed Hyper Beam.

Good fellow, why does this scene look so much like a staged accident... A bad premonition rose in Qiao Sang's heart.

At this time, a mechanical voice rang out beside her:

【Lailai Da, a Dark-type intermediate pet from the Tuwei Region, has a rude personality and often spits at opponents to provoke them, but once it recognizes a Beast Tamer, it will be exceptionally trusting and also attaches great importance to its own kind】

Qiao Sang turned her head, and Little Xunbao silently put away the pet identifier.

"You made my Lailai Da like this! Tell me, what are you going to do!" The man looked at the young girl not far away and roared loudly.

It really is the legendary staged accident; this luck... Qiao Sang was speechless inside.

The open-air pet training ground is large, and there are not many people coming here to train, and they are all scattered quite far apart.

It's just that the essence of people is to love watching the excitement. With the man's roar, everyone's gossip radar moved, and they gathered around one after another.

Seeing that the girl in front of him didn't speak for a while, the man felt proud in his heart.

As a professional at staging accidents, he had been eyeing the girl in front of him for a long time.

She wasn't old, but she had three pets. Although he couldn't recognize what these three pets were, he still had normal discernment.

That red-and-white pet and the blue pet had gorgeous appearances; even in a place like the Imperial Capital where rare pets are everywhere, he hadn't seen them before. At a glance, the price wouldn't be cheap.

Especially that red-and-white pet, it was actually wearing a lightweight shrinking bracelet on its paw!

This thing can't be bought just anywhere.

Although the girl looked like a high school student, based on his years of experience in staging accidents, he guessed at a glance that she should be a college student who looked a bit young. After all, what high school student could contract three pets?

And college students have less social experience and are the most innocent and easy to deceive. Middle and elementary school students would still call their parents if something happened, but college students wouldn't.

College students with rare pets like this must have very high living expenses.

She must be panicking to death inside right now.

Look, she can't even speak.

So what if a Beast Tamer has high talent? Isn't she still going to be played around by him?

Just when the man was secretly happy in his heart, he saw the girl in front of him smile slightly and say: "Like Ya Bao, Hyper Beam."

The man's expression stiffened.

Hyper Beam?

Is this going to use Hyper Beam on him?!

8 seconds passed, and Like Ya Bao, which had long since recovered its mobility, opened its mouth, and a white energy with huge power immediately condensed in its mouth.

Damn! This girl is actually playing for real! The man realized and knew he had encountered a tough character. He immediately shouted:

"Wait!"

Qiao Sang was just scaring him and never thought about doing it for real. But she found it quite interesting to see Lailai Da closing its eyes and still pretending to be in a faint like this, wanting to see when it would "wake up," so she didn't speak.

Seeing the Hyper Beam condensing in the red-and-white pet's mouth getting bigger and bigger, the man was so scared that cold sweat broke out. He picked up Lailai Da, got up nimbly, and ran away.

Seeing that there was no more excitement to watch so quickly, the onlookers gave a disappointed "Eh" and left one after another.

"Like Ya Bao, stop it," Qiao Sang said.

Upon hearing this, Like Ya Bao dissipated the condensed energy.

Watching the man run for a long time, with Lailai Da in his arms still in a faint, Qiao Sang couldn't suppress her curiosity and said:

"Make them stop."

"Ya!"

Like Ya Bao's eyes glowed blue.

An invisible force fell instantly on the man who was still running.

Mom, why can't I run anymore... The man looked desperate.

Some onlookers who were still paying attention to the movement here saw this, their eyes lit up, and they gathered around again.

Qiao Sang walked up.

"Little beauty, I was wrong!" The man's face turned pale.

He couldn't figure out why there were clearly so many stupid college students, but he was so unlucky that he happened to run into one who was not to be trifled with!

Still pretending even like this... Qiao Sang walked closer and examined Lailai Da for a while, and the more she looked, the more amazed she was, because she discovered that this pet seemed to be in a state of faint indeed.

"It..."

"It's fine!" The man looked at the girl in front of him, feeling intimidated, and quickly explained: "It's just using the skill Deception right now!"

Qiao Sang looked at the man: "Deception?"

Still a college student, doesn't even know Deception... The man complained in his heart, but on the surface, he was submissive: "Deception is a Dark-type skill that can make oneself fall into a state where even oneself is deceived."

Qiao Sang thought to herself, so that's how it is. It's a pity this skill isn't used for acting.

She didn't notice that Little Xunbao was showing an interested expression on the side.

"Good! Actually specifically letting a pet learn the Deception skill to stage accidents, this guy definitely isn't doing this for the first time!" Someone among the onlookers couldn't stand it anymore and said loudly.

"Yeah, I see he picked this place because there's no surveillance, thinking the little girl is easy to fool, and deliberately targeted the little girl!"

"Fortunately, the little girl is capable. If she had a soft personality, wouldn't she have been cheated to death by him!"

"Just listening to his accent, this guy isn't from our Zhongkong Region. Wherever he came from, he should hurry back!"

Everyone said one thing after another, condemning him one after another.

"Why don't we send him to the police station!" At this time, someone said.

When the people around heard this, they felt it made sense.

A group of people came up and hoisted the man.

"What right do you have to arrest me! I haven't done anything yet!" The man struggled and roared.

Seeing this, Qiao Sang turned around and prepared to leave, but found that her clothes were being pulled.

She turned her head and saw it was a middle-aged woman dressed fashionably.

The woman smiled: "Little girl, don't go. You are the party involved, you have to go together to record a statement."

Qiao Sang: "..."

At night, after Qiao Sang had finished reading the information about her opponents in the national competition again, she suddenly saw Little Xunbao lying on the bed with its eyes closed, not moving at all, as if it had fallen asleep.

"What's wrong?" Qiao Sang stepped forward and poked Little Xunbao's belly.

"Xunxun." Little Xunbao called out with its eyes closed, indicating it was learning Deception.

Qiao Sang paused and said: "... Didn't you say you wanted to work hard to become the second-in-command?"

"Xunxun!"

Little Xunbao suddenly opened its eyes and sat up with a thud.

Oh right! It hadn't become the second-in-command yet!

Qiao Sang: "..."

"Ice." At this time, Lubao, who had originally closed its eyes, suddenly opened them and walked toward the bathroom.

"Splash." The sound of water flowing from the faucet followed immediately.

Soon, Qiao Sang saw Lubao turn into water, come out of the bathroom, and flow toward the door crack.

"Where are you going?" Qiao Sang was full of confusion.

"Ice." Lubao, which had turned into water, called out.

It was going to train to become the boss.

Qiao Sang: "..."

Little Xunbao: "..."

"Ya..."

Like Ya Bao, who had long since fallen asleep, called out with its eyes closed and drooling, not knowing what it had dreamed of.

Days passed one by one, and the Imperial Capital finally welcomed the day of the National Campus Beast Taming League National Competition.

Mojin Hotel.

"Are you ready!" Qiao Sang asked with great momentum.

"Ya!"

"Xunxun!"

"Ice!"

Like Ya Bao and the others called out seriously at the same time.

Qiao Sang showed a satisfied smile and waved her hand. Like Ya Bao jumped to the side, Little Xunbao drifted to the side, and only Lubao didn't move, quietly being put back into the Beast Taming Canon.

"Dongdong!"

"Qiao Sang, we should set off." Accompanied by the knocking on the door, Sun Boyi's voice rang out from outside the door.

"Got it!" Qiao Sang took a deep breath, picked up Like Ya Bao, and opened the door.

National competition! Here I come!

PS: This chapter has a lot of words, but let's just count it as one chapter for now. I'll make up for what I owe tomorrow!
