Chapter 732: Is This Reasonable?

Beast-Taming Class One.

A thin-faced middle-aged man was lecturing at the podium:

"Some pet beasts have multiple attributes, but they all have a primary attribute and a secondary attribute. Generally speaking, for a pet beast to learn skills related to its secondary attribute is far more difficult than its primary attribute."

"Sometimes, blindly having your pet beast learn powerful skills or constantly learn new skills is not the right choice for those who want to make a name for themselves as professional beast tamers."

"When you train one skill to its absolute limit, or combine two skills of different attributes, it is far better than putting your energy into learning powerful skills or having your pet beast keep learning new skills."

"A pet beast's energy is limited, and your golden age is right now."

"I hope that from now on you can distinguish the primary from the secondary in skills, discard some useless skills, and spend your time on skills that can easily form combination techniques for your pet beasts."

As he spoke, he formed hand seals.

A purple star array lit up.

Soon, a pet beast appeared on the podium—about twenty centimeters in size, mostly green all over, with short limbs, ears roughly half the size of its face, and covered in sharp spikes.

Who said you need points for everything at Yulian Dun Elementary?

Like Ya Bao wagged her tail, looking expectant.

The old man smiled and said: "Reinus Borg."

"Big Ears!"

In a tree, an old man with gray hair, wearing a white soft hat, was feeding something to a bird-type pet beast that was entirely red with a fluffy white-feathered tail.

That person looks so familiar, seems like I've seen him somewhere… red energy pills… Qiao Sang was stunned for a moment when she saw the old man's appearance, but she quickly shifted her gaze and was shocked when she saw what was in his hand.

Or did he see some extraordinary talent for becoming a breeder in himself?

"I'll challenge again after some time." Qiao Sang put down her phone, pretending nothing had happened.

As he spoke, he held the energy pill in his hand out to Like Ya Bao:

It cried out, and over a dozen sharp green needle-shaped objects appeared out of thin air in front of it again.

Hmm? Why isn't it toward Meishijie… After walking for about seven minutes, doubt flashed through Wang Huan's mind.

"Wait a moment." Qiao Sang said when she saw the situation.

Still need points?

"Yaya!"

"Who said someone was challenging you? Isn't there still one left?" Qiao Sang said as she took out her phone and tapped on it.

"No points needed either."

"Yaya!"

During the break, a senior from the maintenance department walked into the classroom, casually having her accompanying pet beast repair the dozen or so needle holes on the wall.

Immediately after, over a dozen incomparably sharp green needle-shaped objects appeared out of thin air in front of it.

"Xunxun!"

Soon, it stopped on a towering tree.

"If you want to eat it, then try it."

Dorothy heard this and showed an expression of wanting to speak but holding back.

Like Ya Bao called out excitedly, indicating that the thing smelled really good.

"Yaya!"

"Let's go see what delicious thing it is." Qiao Sang said to Like Ya Bao with a smile.

Big Ear Thorn puffed out its cheeks and blew a chaotic gust of wind outward.

Little Xunbao, seeing Like Ya Bao looking like she wanted a taste, couldn't help but show herself and called out, indicating she also wanted to try.

She's already rented a villa inside, and after this semester she'll be returning to Blue Star, so there's really no need to switch dorms.

"That is the current distance limit of Big Ear Thorn's Grass Needle." The middle-aged woman finished speaking and nodded to Big Ear Thorn.

Qiao Sang nodded.

"Yaya!"

As he spoke, he looked at Little Ear Thorn: "Show us."

"Now these seniors are all coming to challenge you. Don't you plan to go challenge those ranked below you?"

Holy crap, I remember now… Isn't that the principal of the Breeder Academy… Wang Huan showed a stunned expression.

"No points needed, but I probably won't have much time normally. Next time you come find me, I'll teach you how to make it."

Qiao Sang suddenly thought of something and asked: "How many points does that need?"

"Big Ears!"

The old man's face twitched, but he quickly managed his expression and said:

If she could borrow the power of Dark Shadow to execute other skills, her attack power should multiply.

"Swoosh swoosh swoosh!"

At that moment, Like Ya Bao's eyes lit up, and the speed at which she led the way suddenly quickened considerably.

Her face suddenly turned ugly, thinking to herself that the admissions office must definitely have a spy from Blue Star…

Although Like Ya Bao was very eager, she didn't eat it right away, but looked toward her own beast tamer.

Whether in two-dimensional mode or three-dimensional mode, the larger the pet beast's size, the smaller the distance and area of execution, and the weaker the control.

Qiao Sang followed behind Like Ya Bao out of the classroom and took the elevator down.

"Xunxun…" The blue light in Little Xunbao's eyes faded.

Like Ya Bao wagged her tail, looking expectantly at her own beast tamer.

The old man seemed to understand what Little Xunbao meant, and said with a smile: "This kind of energy pill is only suitable for fire-type pet beasts. If you want to eat it, I can make another one."

The whole class looked in the direction of the Grass Needles.

The old man's mouth twitched and he said:

When it was about a meter away from the wall at the very front of the lecture hall, the grass needles stopped, falling to the ground, and did not continue to attack backward.

Could it be that she suits the elder's taste?

Does that make sense?

But Little Xunbao has been practicing Space Seal lately, and the proficiency of Dark Shadow is still too low; by tomorrow after class, it definitely won't have reached the level where it can show off…

Like Ya Bao lowered its head excitedly and took a bite.

Like Ya Bao has clones, and the proficiency of each skill rises very quickly; as long as any skill's proficiency reaches a certain level, combining them isn't difficult.

……

At that moment, Shirley suddenly remembered that the other party was an interstellar exchange student — whether they studied or earned credits really wasn't important.

The bell for the last class of the morning rang.

"Excuse me, may I ask where you bought this?" Qiao Sang walked forward and asked.

Like Ya Bao's eyes gleamed, wagging its tail furiously.

When Little Xunbao's Dark Shadow is practiced to a later stage, it can produce a hundredfold illusion.

I've seen plenty of commercially available and specially customized Energy Balls on the market — no matter what attribute of pet beast they're for, they're almost all brown or white; a red Energy Ball like this is the first time I've seen one.

The old man looked up, saw Qiao Sang, and revealed a kindly smile: "I didn't buy it. I made it myself."

Just as she was thinking, Shirley's voice sounded beside her:

Qiao Sang: "……"

Making Energy Balls is clearly a big project that takes a lot of time…

"My little Ear-Thorn's Grass Needle skill proficiency is at the late stage of Minor Accomplishment."

Wang Huan looked toward the white flower floating to one side.

She still had too many things to do during this period, and challenging people on the Hundred-Strong Rankings — apart from a higher ranking and being able to swap for a better dormitory — had no other substantial benefits.

Little Ear-Thorn cried out once.

When she participated in the National Campus Beast-Tamer League before, she had studied combination techniques.

Needle-shaped objects shot out.

Back then, in the main hall of the freshman reception area, sitting in the front row were four big-shot figures — and the one right before her eyes was one of them!

At that time, she had Like Ya Bao simply and crudely use its clones paired with various skills, or have it use telekinesis to control the direction of attack skills — like a Return Strike Shield 2.0 version.

The middle-aged man introduced:

Then she saw that the challenge application page, which had originally still had one person, was now completely blank.

Then she thought of something and asked: "How many credits does it cost to learn to make Energy Balls?"

Qiao Sang sat in her seat with a pen in hand, staring at the notebook on the desk, thinking about combination techniques.

What a nice person… Qiao Sang sighed inwardly.

"Yaya!"

"Do you like it?" the old man asked.

After all, the time when she had the most money was not far off.

"Yaya!"

The wind speed instantly caught up with the green needle-shaped objects.

The teacher started class on time.

Then it jumped down from its beast-tamer's knee and walked ahead to lead the way.

Just at this moment, Like Ya Bao seemed to smell something delicious, sniffed with its nose, and showed an excited expression.

The grass needles accelerated and then deeply embedded themselves into the wall at the front of the lecture hall.

Wang Huan was stunned for a moment.

Little Ear-Thorn understood its beast-tamer's meaning.

Now that she thought about it, Like Ya Bao and the others had so many skills now — there might be more suitable ways to combine them.

"Bang bang bang!"

The bigger the body, the bigger the shadow.

The reason Little Xunbao hasn't really exposed this flaw when using that move so far is mainly because it can teleport, directly moving close to the target or the target's shadow.

The grass needles shot out violently.

That… Qiao Sang hesitated a little.

Especially Dark Shadow paired with Dark Shadow Control.

If others had that strength, they would have long gone to challenge the top thirty on the Hundred-Strong Rankings to earn more credits, but Qiao Sang seemed to have no such thoughts at all.

Little Xunbao, holding the white flower in its claws, appeared; its eyes glowed blue, just about to perform spatial movement.

Nice!

But just because it's easy doesn't mean it's suitable.

She really wanted to see the scene of Qiao Sang thrashing the seniors right away, but unfortunately the other party wasn't in any hurry at all.

Seeing Like Ya Bao's expectant expression, Qiao Sang couldn't refuse and asked: "May I ask how I should address you?"

There are many pet-beast-related food shops in and around the Yu Lian training grounds; every time they walked around campus, Like Ya Bao and the others would always be attracted by some kind of food, and Qiao Sang always let them buy whatever they wanted to eat.

He wants to teach me how to make Energy Balls?

In fact, the power of Dark Shadow Control is very related to the pet beast's body size.

"The grass needles at the late stage of Minor Accomplishment can only shoot to the distance just now, but adding the Wind skill — whether it's the firing speed or the distance — both have noticeably increased." The middle-aged man said as he waved his hand, recalling Little Ear-Thorn into the Beast-Taming Tome: "This is a combination technique."

Wang Huan thought: Like Ya Bao's attack power is already very strong, and the proficiency of each skill is rising very quickly; for now, it doesn't seem necessary to rely on combination techniques to increase skill power.

Upon hearing those words, Like Ya Bao immediately wagged his tail and revealed a troubled expression.

"Of course, that's only the most special and most basic. When your class ends next time, I hope everyone will be able to go down and demonstrate their combination techniques."

She didn't know if it was Qiao Sang's imagination, but she always felt that after Like Ya Bao ate that energy pill, the flame wings on both sides of his body suddenly boiled and expanded a little.
