Beast Taming: Starting From Zero

Alhough the Fire Fang Dog’s face was full of displeasure, it obediently walked over.

Qiao Sang squatted down and patted its head.

The Fire Fang Dog narrowed its eyes comfortably, completely different from its earlier bristling state.

It was too easy to appease, Qiao Sang couldn’t help but think.

“Fire Fang Dog, team up with the Fat Dove,” Qiao Sang said.

“Yip!”

The Fire Fang Dog barked happily, turning around with a look of determination in its eyes.

From now on, Qiao Sang would be the first to disagree if anyone said fire-type pet beasts had bad tempers!

“Use Charge!” Qiao Sang commanded directly.

She didn’t care whether the girl across from her was ready or not—who asks for permission before starting a fight?

This was her first time working with the Fire Fang Dog, and she didn’t want to lose.

The Fire Fang Dog dug in with its four limbs and charged forward in an instant.

Xu Linglan kept her eyes on the two beasts and their handler, holding back the urge to curse out loud.

She quickly reacted, “Desert-Tailed Fox, wrap it up with your tail!”

Earlier, the Fire Fang Dog’s Tackle had succeeded because Xu Linglan’s attention was on the Fat Dove.

Now that she noticed the Fire Fang Dog, she was prepared.

The Fire Fang Dog was less than a month old, and to the Desert-Tailed Fox, its speed seemed sluggish.

The Desert-Tailed Fox leisurely extended its over-two-meter-long tail, waiting for the Fire Fang Dog to approach.

“Fat Dove, grab the Fire Fang Dog and fly up,” Qiao Sang quickly ordered.

The Fat Dove’s flying speed might be slow compared to other flying-type pet beasts, but it was still much faster than the young Fire Fang Dog.

Even in its charging state, the Fat Dove quickly caught up, grabbed the Fire Fang Dog, and flew up.

Xu Linglan was stunned, not understanding what Qiao Sang was planning.

“Yip?” The Fire Fang Dog was also confused.

It was the first time it had worked with Qiao Sang and the first time it had teamed up with the Fat Dove, so it was clearly unsure of what was happening.

“Fat Dove, drop the Fire Fang Dog on top of the target,” Qiao Sang said calmly.

The Fat Dove hesitated.

After all, it wasn’t Qiao Sang’s pet beast, so it didn’t immediately drop the Fire Fang Dog on the Desert-Tailed Fox.

Qiao Sang sighed, just about to issue another command when the Fat Dove suddenly followed through.

This wasn’t an ideal moment—three seconds had passed since Qiao Sang had given the order, giving the opponent ample time to react.

The Fire Fang Dog flew toward the Desert-Tailed Fox, and Qiao Sang’s heart skipped a beat.

She was about to tell the Fire Fang Dog to dodge, but there was no movement from the other side.

Xu Linglan hadn’t ordered the Desert-Tailed Fox to do anything.

Qiao Sang didn’t understand why, but it didn’t stop her from giving the next command.

“Bite its neck with Fire Fang!”

Qiao Sang had initially chosen not to fight the White Sand Fox because its defense was too weak; even in its evolved form as the Desert-Tailed Fox, this was still true.

Unlike its powerful tail, the Desert-Tailed Fox’s body was incredibly fragile. Even a minor injury would cause it great pain, and its neck was its most vulnerable spot.

“Dodge!” Xu Linglan finally realized what was happening.

But it was too late.

The Fire Fang Dog’s blazing teeth bit down hard on the Desert-Tailed Fox’s neck.

“Merrow!!”

The Desert-Tailed Fox let out a piercing scream, its fur standing on end as it writhed in pain, trying desperately to shake off the Fire Fang Dog.

The Fire Fang Dog clung on like a tenacious piece of glue, refusing to be shaken off.

“Jump away,” Qiao Sang ordered.

The Fire Fang Dog didn’t hesitate, immediately leaping off the Desert-Tailed Fox and to the side.

The next second, the Desert-Tailed Fox’s powerful tail mercilessly lashed at where the Fire Fang Dog had just been.

Without the Fire Fang Dog clinging to it, the forceful tail landed squarely on the Desert-Tailed Fox itself.

“Merrow!!!”

The Desert-Tailed Fox, already wounded at the neck, felt an intense surge of pain from the self-inflicted blow.

“Desert-Tailed Fox, calm down!” Xu Linglan was hopping mad on the sidelines, unable to comprehend how the situation had deteriorated so quickly.

But the Desert-Tailed Fox was in too much pain to listen.

“Fat Dove, Wing Slash!” Qiao Sang pressed the attack.

Wing Slash was a move unique to flying-type pet beasts, allowing them to turn their wings into sharp blades—a technique most flying-type pet beasts would learn.

“Dove?”

The Fat Dove looked at Qiao Sang with its gray eyes, clearly confused.

It didn’t know.

…

Although Qiao Sang didn’t understand what the Fat Dove was saying, she could still read its confusion from its expression.

“Use Air Slash,” Qiao Sang commanded without hesitation.

The Fat Dove flapped its wings forward, and six blades of condensed air appeared in the air.

“Desert-Tailed Fox! Dodge!” Xu Linglan was frantic.

The Desert-Tailed Fox’s amber eyes narrowed as it watched the blades rushing toward it. Despite the intense pain, it managed to dodge to the side.

However, four of the blades still hit it.

“Merrow!!”

The Desert-Tailed Fox wobbled, feeling like it was about to collapse any second.

“Fire Fang Dog, Charge,” Qiao Sang instructed.

The Fire Fang Dog, eager to act, charged toward the Desert-Tailed Fox with full force as soon as it received the order.

It was like the final straw that broke the camel’s back. The Desert-Tailed Fox’s eyes went blank as it collapsed under the impact, completely crushed…

Xu Linglan’s legs went weak, and she fell to the ground.

Throughout the fight, the Desert-Tailed Fox had been continuously attacked like a target.

Xu Linglan, in a daze, realized that she was about to enter her final year of high school next semester, and she had just suffered a crushing defeat against an unqualified rookie beast tamer.

Losing 1v2 was one thing, but she never expected to lose without even managing to use a single skill.

Xu Linglan could see that this fierce girl didn’t even know what skills the Fat Dove had, and the Fire Fang Dog didn’t seem particularly special either.

She had been completely defeated by the girl’s commanding skills…

Qiao Sang ignored the girl’s reaction and hugged the Fire Fang Dog, which had charged into her arms, saying with a smile, “You did great.”

“Yap!”

“Yap-yap!”

The Fire Fang Dog excitedly gestured toward Qiao Sang.

Qiao Sang’s expression became strange.

The Fire Fang Dog jumped to the ground, its mouth wide open as it showed its teeth, and moments later, flames enveloped its fangs.

When the flames vanished, the Fire Fang Dog eagerly gestured at Qiao Sang again.

“Are you saying that you’ve never successfully used Fire Fang before?” Qiao Sang asked.

The Fire Fang Dog nodded vigorously.

But Qiao Sang had clearly seen in the Beast Tamer’s Codex that the Fire Fang Dog knew the Fire Fang skill.

Qiao Sang was puzzled and connected to the Beast Tamer’s Manual.

Qiao Sang’s eyes lit up as she saw the numbers change!

The values for Charge, Fire Fang, and the points had all changed.

In fact, seeing the values behind Fire Fang made Qiao Sang begin to form a guess.
