Beast Taming: Starting From Zero

5:42 PM.

Jin Feifan dragged her exhausted body back to the dorm, with the drooping dandelion-headed Little Ball Pofu following behind her.

As soon as she opened the door, she saw her roommate, whom she hadn't seen for a while, grinning stupidly at the ceiling. She no longer had the calm demeanor from when they first met.

Curious, Jin Feifan looked up in the same direction.

"Ahhhhhhh!!!"

"Ball!!!"

---

20 minutes later.

Qiao Sang was parched after talking so much.

"So, what kind of training did you do after I left?" Qiao Sang asked.

Jin Feifan, still dazed, didn’t respond.

Seeing this, Qiao Sang seemed to think of something. She looked up and signaled to her floating Yabao, who was joyfully drifting around the room.

Whether it was due to his evolution or his newly gained psychic abilities, the connection between her and Yabao had become stronger.

They didn’t need words; often just a look or a gesture was enough to understand each other.

Just earlier in the room, with a single glance, Yabao had conveyed that he found the space too small and wanted to go out and play.

While Yabao was floating and controlling both himself and his little brother with psychic energy, his attention remained focused on Little Treasure.

But the moment Qiao Sang gave him a signal, he seemed to sense something and immediately turned his head.

"Yap."

Yabao instantly understood his trainer's intention and floated over to Jin Feifan’s side.

"Shoo!"

Without Yabao’s psychic control, Little Treasure plummeted down until he was at his usual floating height.

After steadying himself, he saw Yabao no longer playing and pouted, his body glowing blue as he tried to float back up to his previous height.

Jin Feifan was still in a daze.

Yabao floated behind her and gently tapped her with one of his claws.

Jin Feifan instinctively turned her head.

"Ahhhhhhh!!!"

Yabao innocently retracted his paw.

Qiao Sang: ...

She hadn’t meant to scare Jin Feifan, she just wanted to know what kind of training they had done that day.

Rather than asking Jin Feifan directly, she had intended to use Yabao’s new skill—Touch Perception.

The thought of this skill made Qiao Sang chuckle again.

She had looked it up online.

Touch Perception, classified as a high-tier skill by the Alliance, had no offensive capabilities.

However, in certain contexts, its value far surpassed other skills of the same tier.

It was a skill that, by touching people or objects, allowed the user to sense events that had previously occurred.

This skill wasn’t easy for even high-level psychic-type beasts to learn—it required innate talent.

If a pet beast mastered this skill, it would be highly sought after by any investigation or law enforcement agency within the Federation.

After all, with sufficient proficiency, this skill could become a game-changer in solving cases.

"Boss." Jin Feifan whispered, snapping out of her daze when she saw Qiao Sang smiling foolishly.

Qiao Sang immediately composed herself and humbly waved her hand.

"Don't call me boss. I mean, all I did was have my Yabao evolve on the first day of intensive training, and maybe into an unknown form that even the Alliance hasn’t studied. It’s no big deal. Just call me by my name."

Jin Feifan: ...

Isn't that the most classic humble brag ever?

But since Qiao Sang said so, Jin Feifan decided to comply and not call her boss anymore.

"Alright, so are you going to the training tomorrow?"

"Of course! By the way, what kind of training did you do after I left?" Qiao Sang asked again.

With a sigh, Jin Feifan explained, "We had all the pet beasts show off the skills they’d already learned, tested their attack and defense capabilities, then ran ten laps around the track with them."

"They said training with the pet beasts would improve our bond. After lunch, we had to each battle Teacher Qin’s Licker Licker. It’s a high-tier beast, and we were all completely outmatched. In the end..."

Qiao Sang couldn't help but interrupt, "Isn't that just one-sided abuse?"

It wasn't just lower-tier beasts facing a higher-tier one—Qiao Sang wouldn’t even dare guarantee that her recently evolved Yabao could stand up to a high-tier beast.

Jin Feifan blinked and clarified, "Not exactly. We fought in turns, and Licker Licker didn’t counterattack. It just dodged."

Qiao Sang frowned.

"Then how were you all beaten?"

"None of our eleven pet beasts managed to land a single hit, even after they ran out of energy and stamina." Jin Feifan said, looking crestfallen.

Qiao Sang: ...

How weak...

Jin Feifan continued, "Afterward, we spent an hour in the gravity chamber."

The gravity chamber! Qiao Sang’s eyes lit up. She hadn’t expected the school to have one.

With Yabao evolving into a Flame Hound, she knew they’d need to increase the weight of his training equipment to improve his speed. Now, there was no need to buy any!

That would save a lot of money!

Jin Feifan glanced at Yabao, now floating gracefully above the living room, and remarked enviously, "I didn’t expect the Fire Fang Dog to evolve into such a beautiful beast. It looks so good now. It’s definitely going to be selected for the Coordination Group, right?"

Qiao Sang quickly retorted, "Don’t jinx it! I’m going for the Battle Group."

Jin Feifan: ...

Fair enough, the Battle Group definitely has a brighter future than the Coordination Group.

The next morning.

Training Ground No. 2.

As Qiao Sang walked in with Little Treasure floating above her, the whole group was instantly mesmerized by the majestic and beautiful pet beast by her side.

Everyone was shocked and immediately crowded around, blocking her in completely.

"Your name is Qiao Sang, right? I remember you from yesterday!"

"Qiao Sang, what’s the name of this beast? Is it from your family?"

"This pet beast isn’t from our Yuhua Region, is it?"

"Is it a fire-type beast?"

"..."

Everyone bombarded her with questions, but only Zheng Yining, Lu Liangye, and Lu You were perceptive enough to notice that the Fire Fang Dog from yesterday was missing.

"This is Fire Fang Dog. He evolved yesterday, that’s all." Qiao Sang explained.

"Yap."

Yabao let out a bark, confirming his identity.

He proudly lifted his head, ensuring everyone could see his handsome appearance.

Even though there were no mirrors in his current living space, he didn’t need them to know he looked amazing, just listening to the compliments was enough.

The training ground fell silent as everyone exchanged glances.

Fire Fang Dog? Evolved? Into this? Do you believe that? Because I sure don’t.

Qin Wen, who had been watching, was stunned.

She had been the one to contact the vice principal yesterday, so she knew that Qiao Sang had taken Fire Fang Dog out to evolve.

But this creature in front of her...

A chill ran down her spine. Without even stepping outside, she shakily pulled out her phone and dialed.

"Hello, Vice Principal..."

She didn’t even notice Luo Qian standing nearby, his eyes gleaming as he stared at Fire Fang Dog’s new form.

Thirty seconds later.

"Appear."

Qiao Sang looked up, suddenly seeing the familiar figure she had been encountering quite frequently lately, and she felt a bad premonition.

It can’t be...

"Teacher Xian, you..."

Before she could finish her sentence, her vision went black.

Sky Bat! Damn you!
