Beast taming, starting from zero point novel Chapter 958

Chapter 958: Chapter 777 The Boss’s Beginning

To contract nine Pet Beasts, the brain domain must be developed to 90%. Is this teacher Billet putting too much faith in me...

You have to know, across the entire galaxy, there are only a handful of people whose brain domains can develop to that extent...

Qiao Sang’s expression was complicated. She gave an "OK" hand gesture and then opened the first instructional video.

"First, interlock your ten fingers. Then, raise your pinkies on both hands and press them together while connecting your brain domain and linking it with the two Pet Beasts you want to summon. Next, hook the pinky, ring, and middle fingers, overlap the thumbs and index fingers vertically, press your palms together, and finally flatten your hands... Keep in mind, even during the later steps, you must maintain the connection between your brain domain and the Pet Beasts."

Qiao Sang mimicked the actions shown in the video and began making the corresponding seal gestures.

Soon, two equally sized orange-yellow Star Arrays lit up on the floor.

"Ya Ya..."

Yaobao disappeared from the bed and appeared in one of the Star Arrays, still dozing off in its usual way.

"Gangzhan."

Gangbao stood frozen, staring at its Beast Tamer with an expression that seemed to say: Why did you summon me here?

What the heck, it’s actually this simple... Qiao Sang felt a burst of joy internally but coughed to cover it up, "It’s nothing, I was just practicing the seal gesture. You can go back to whatever you were doing."

After listening, Gangbao immediately turned to head back to the outdoor training area but suddenly stopped, seemingly recalling something. It turned its head back and uttered a sound.

"Gangzhan?"

Wait, do we proceed with further training?

"Yes." Qiao Sang nodded.

Although she succeeded in practicing the seal gesture on her first attempt, mastery required repetitive practice, and there were still seven more seal gestures to learn.

Even if it wasn’t clear whether her training for simultaneously summoning four Pet Beasts would be successful, it was better to familiarize herself with all the gestures first.

"Gangzhan..."

Gangbao gave its Beast Tamer a long, meaningful look and let out a sound, indicating that it might as well stay instead of being summoned back later.

Reasonable... Qiao Sang said, "Alright, you may stick around."

With that, she continued practicing the seal gestures.

...

2:00 AM.

"Xun Xun..."

Little Xunbao floated to its Beast Tamer’s side. After confirming she was truly asleep, it quietly extended a paw to grab the phone from the bedside table.

Just as its paw touched the phone, Qiao Sang turned over in her sleep.

Little Xunbao shuddered and instantly hid itself.

"Tick-tock, tick-tock..."

The second hand of the clock on the desk continued its rhythmic movements.

"Xun Xun..."

Five seconds later, confirming its Beast Tamer hadn’t woken up, Little Xunbao reappeared and let out a sigh of relief.

It picked up the phone.

Then disappeared from sight.

...

On a deserted street, a Mechanical Beast in uniform floated leisurely along the side of the road, patrolling.

Deep in an alley it passed, several Spectral-type Pet Beasts huddled closely together, their eyes glued to the phone screen in the center.

The phone screen displayed footage of Little Xunbao battling the Bimo Fox during the final match of the Beast Tamer Star Tournament.

As the footage played to the moment where the Bimo Fox fell and the referee blew the whistle, Little Xunbao abruptly turned off the phone and puffed out its chest proudly.

"Ji ji..."

"Lian Lian..."

"Gui Gui..."

The Spectral-type Pet Beasts all looked up at Little Xunbao, their eyes filled with reverence.

"Xun Xun?"

Little Xunbao soaked in their admiration, letting out a sound as if asking, "So? Does my strength qualify me to be your boss now?"

"Ji ji!"

"Lian Lian!"

"Gui Gui!"

The Spectral-types nodded fervently.

"Xun Xun~"

Little Xunbao felt a rush of pride and almost burst into maniacal laughter.

Recruiting underlings? A piece of cake!

"Gui Gui!"

A deep-purple Spectral-type Pet Beast, about a meter tall with one large eye, growled angrily, pointing out that another boss-like figure had been bullying them lately!

"Ji ji!"

"Lian Lian!"

The other two Spectral-types nodded vigorously.

The group of Spectral-types turned their hopeful eyes to Little Xunbao, displaying expressions that clearly said, "You’ve got to stand up for us!"

"Xun Xun?!"

Hearing this and sensing their desperate gazes, Little Xunbao immediately displayed a "What? Someone dared to bully my little brothers?!" expression.

"Gui Gui!"

"Gui Gui!"

The one-eyed Spectral-type began an indignant rant.

That individual was another so-called boss, who, backed by a small gang, had been harassing them late at night and demanding they hand over Emotional Energy.

These days, Emotional Energy was tightly restricted by humans; they barely managed to scrape together a little—sometimes none at all. How could they just hand it over?

That was outright robbery!

"Ji ji!"

"Xun Xun..." _{freeweɓnovēl.coɱ}

Qiao Sang’s mind returned to reality. She looked at Little Xunbao with visible satisfaction.

She had initially assumed that without her supervision, Little Xunbao might get distracted by its curiosity and slack off. She hadn’t expected it to actually practice Aura of Dominance seriously.

It seemed that Little Xunbao was more self-disciplined than she’d imagined.

If it stayed this disciplined for a while longer, buying it a phone wasn’t out of the question.

...

Forty minutes later.

Under Little Xunbao’s Spatial Movement, Qiao Sang arrived at the classroom.

The moment she appeared, there was a loud "bang," and colorful streamers filled the air.

"Congratulations on winning the championship!"

The classmates called out in unison.

Qiao Sang was taken aback, her heart filled with warmth.

Just as she was about to say something, one of her classmates excitedly spoke first:

"We watched yesterday’s match—absolutely stunning!"

"Totally! And the Flame Kiru knew Magma Purgatory? You were keeping that under wraps!"

"How did you even train it? That’s a Super-level Skill!"

"Not to mention the Ghost Ring King—so cool!"

"You won the championship, so have you decided which Pet Beast will go to the Energy Pool?"

"Energy Pool?" Qiao Sang turned to the classmate who had mentioned it.

"You don’t know?" The classmate who was now the center of attention looked surprised at Qiao Sang’s bewilderment.

"What’s an Energy Pool?" Qiao Sang asked.

"It’s a place where Pet Beasts can absorb more energy through immersion," a nearby classmate explained. "There’s only one Energy Pool in District 1, with just five slots available each year. I’ve heard it allows Pet Beasts to enhance their energy levels without any side effects—but King-Level beasts and above are prohibited as they’d drain the pool dry."

"Exactly," another classmate chimed in. "Included in the prizes you received yesterday is a ring. Aside from being a symbol of honor, it also grants you access to the Energy Pool."

The fact that Qiao Sang wasn’t from Chao Su Star and was unaware of the ring’s significance or the Energy Pool didn’t surprise most of her classmates.

While they found the idea of the Energy Pool appealing, it wasn’t something any of them desperately desired.

After all, the Energy Pool’s primary benefit was accelerating their Pet Beasts’ energy absorption, condensing the time it took to advance from the early stages to the later stages.

Of course, that was the ideal outcome.

Not every Pet Beast could fully enhance its energy levels from the pool; most could only reach the maximum capacity their bodies could handle.

But the most important thing for a Pet Beast was achieving a perfect evolution.

Sometimes, the growth process was just as critical.

A ring granting access to the Energy Pool... Qiao Sang was astonished.

No one had told her about this!

She had carefully examined the ring engraved with a Pet Beast’s design the night before, noticing her name on the inner band. She’d thought it was merely a decorative trophy!

"Where’s the Energy Pool?" Qiao Sang asked after a moment of contemplation.

"No idea," a female classmate shrugged. "But someone official will probably contact you. You could also reach out and ask them directly."
