Beast taming, starting from zero point

Chapter 119: Chapter 114: Professor Xian

No. 2 training ground.

Xiao Xunbao curiously stared at the ice-type weasel that was upside down, its limbs together, spinning nonstop and releasing a blizzard.

The 360-degree rotation made the snowflakes appear especially beautiful.

“So pretty.” Jin Feifan, now free from psychological pressure, finally had the mood to appreciate someone else’s performance.

Qiao Sang couldn’t help but step forward two paces.

So cool…

In the summer, ice-type pet beasts are simply must-haves for home and travel…

“Yaobao.”

The Fire-Toothed Dog disdainfully extended its right front paw to knock off a snowflake that had landed on its nose.

After spinning for about 20 seconds, the ice-type weasel stopped, and then… there was no more then…

“Xuexue!” The chubby boy ran forward and picked up the ice-type weasel, anxiously calling out.

The ice-type weasel had stars in its eyes and had fainted…

Luo Qian secretly shook his head.

He was present during the coordination of the special recruitment exam, and the child had performed well on the day of the exam, with the ice-type weasel able to stand up steadily after spinning for a long time.

But after a month had passed, the performance was even worse than when they first contracted, obviously having played instead of training in the past month.

“Next,” said Luo Qian.

Jin Feifan tensed up, and the stem of the dandelion connected to the small ball in his arms instantly stiffened as well.

“You can do it,” Qiao Sang encouraged from the side.

“Xun~” Xiao Xunbao also called out sweetly.

The small ball gazed dumbly at Xiao Xunbao.

It hadn’t expected the Treasure-seeking Ghost to cheer for it, and spectral series creatures didn’t seem so scary after all…

“Mm!” Jin Feifan looked at Qiao Sang and nodded vigorously.

…

The small ball stood in front of everyone, its two short legs, almost invisible, shaking violently.

If it weren’t for the trembling of its spherical body, nobody would have noticed its legs shaking.

Qiao Sang was somewhat worried and puzzled as she watched the small ball tremble like this.

How did someone so timid pass the coordination exam?

Beast Tamers are professions under the spotlight—being stage-fright free is the minimum requirement. This should have been considered in the special recruitment exam.

The way the small ball was shaking was clearly unqualified.

Soon, Qiao Sang knew why.

It turned out the small ball was using the shaking of its legs to make its body tremble, which in turn shook the dandelion on its head.

The dandelion seeds drifted away.

Clever!

Qiao Sang couldn’t help but sigh internally.

It was known that the dandelion on the small ball’s head wouldn’t scatter unless it willed it, not even by a level 8 wind.

Obviously, the small ball itself was allowing the dandelion to disperse.

But to the audience, it looked like the body trembling was causing the scattering.

If it couldn’t control its body, then it would make sensible use of it.

For a moment, Qiao Sang saw Jin Feifan in a new light.

Though his roommate was timid, he still had ideas.

Dandelion seeds floated through the training ground. It wasn’t over yet. A faint green light emanated from the small ball, and a new dandelion quickly grew out from the stem on its head.

Then the body trembled, the dandelion scattered again.

And so it went, growing out, scattering, growing out, scattering… After repeating 5 times, the ground was covered with dandelion seeds.

“Yaobao!”

The Fire-Toothed Dog stretched out its paw excitedly catching the white fluff balls.

It was apparent that although it didn’t like snowflakes, it enjoyed catching dandelion seeds.

…

After leaving the field, Jin Feifan held the small ball and came over to Qiao Sang, saying happily, “That scared me to death, but thankfully nothing went wrong.”

Qiao Sang complimented, “Small ball perfectly masked its fear. That was great.”

“Ball.”

The small ball called out shyly.

“At crucial moments, my small ball is indeed reliable,” Jin Feifan laughed.

“By the way,” asked Qiao Sang casually, “how did you think of using the leg twitch to scatter the dandelion seeds?”

Jin Feifan was taken aback for a moment: “Using leg twitch? No, I’ve been trying to fix small ball’s bad habit. If its legs don’t shake, the dandelion on its head won’t scatter.”

Qiao Sang: “???”

“The way Xiao Qiu disperses dandelion seeds is different; some need to shake their heads, some need to pinch the stem, and my Xiao Qiu needs to shake its legs. However, this habit can be changed with training,” Jin Feifan explained.

Qiao Sang was speechless for a long time.

So it wasn’t shaking its legs from fear…

I’ve learned something new…

“Let me say a few words,” Luo Qian said, his face losing its usual smile.

“I can only say I’m very dissatisfied with the three coordination demonstrations just now. Compared to a month ago, you’ve made no progress whatsoever, and some of you have even regressed.”

“The main reason you all became special coordination entrants is that everyone had just contracted with their Pet Beasts during the exam a month ago and couldn’t show off their Pet Beasts’ strengths well, so those of you who could successfully direct your Pet Beasts to perform scored high.”

“But now, a month has passed, and you’re still the same, while others have already built good relationships with their Pet Beasts and can make them obediently perform. So what advantage do you still have?”

“I could just randomly call out any student to do what you’ve done.”

After finishing, Luo Qian pretended to look down at the roster: “Let’s go with Qiao Sang.”

Qiao Sang was somewhat stunned. Her middle school teachers often called on her during class, and now her high school teachers were doing the same. Could it be because her name was too pleasant to the ear…

“Just have your Pet Beast do a random display,” Luo Qian said.

Qiao Sang: “…”

This was too sudden, she hadn’t even prepared…

But she wanted to join the combat division, and it wouldn’t be a big issue even if the coordination display went poorly.

Qiao Sang was just about to call Yaobao when suddenly Xiao Xunbao, the Treasure-seeking Ghost, floated in front of her.

“Xun~”

“Xun Xun.”

Xiao Xunbao looked excited, eager to try.

“Then Xiao Xunbao, it’s your turn,” Qiao Sang said.

“Xun~”

The little Treasure-seeking Ghost joyfully circled its Beast Tamer.

Qiao Sang looked down and pondered what Skill combination to use for Xiao Xunbao?

Even if the display wasn’t good, she couldn’t be too embarrassed…

However, before Qiao Sang could come up with a plan, Xiao Xunbao had already floated in front of everyone.

“Xun~”

The Treasure-seeking Ghost cried out, then raised its short paws and pulled the corners of its mouth hard to make a face. Then it placed its stubby toes under its eyelids and pulled downward.

Soon after, it positioned its stubby toes at the corners of its eyes, pulling hard upward while opening its mouth to stick out a long tongue.

Qiao Sang: “…”

She thought Xiao Xunbao had taken an interest in Skill combinations, only to realize it was about showing off its funny faces…

“Good!” Luo Qian started clapping first.

With the teacher clapping, how could the students not follow suit? They all cooperated and began to clap as well.

“Xun~”

Seeing this, the Treasure-seeking Ghost was delighted and made even more enthusiastic faces.

“Qiao Sang’s display was very good. Look at the Treasure-seeking Ghost, playful and mischievous, its successive movements fully reflect its own characteristics,” Luo Qian praised loudly.

The crowd suddenly understood.

The core of the coordination competition showcase was the charm of the Pet Beasts themselves, sometimes not even requiring Skills to reveal their charm.

But still…

Were a few funny faces really better than the first three displays…

Luo Qian praised without a blush, unphased.

To get Qiao Sang to join the coordination group, he’d make out the living as the dead if necessary.

He believed that if Qiao Sang saw how much faith he had in her, she would surely be moved and choose the coordination group first.

After all, student Qiao Sang came in through combat tests, and with the Fire-Toothed Dog’s Energy Value, Qin Wen would definitely compete with him for her.

Qin Wen was so stern, like a head disciplinarian, while he was so amiable. Any student would know whom to choose.

Qiao Sang: “…”

This teacher was indeed unreliable, but luckily she wanted to join the combat division.

“Xun~”

After its happy display, Xiao Xunbao floated back onto Qiao Sang’s head.

“Qiao Sang, you did very well. Woud you like to…”

Luo Qian hadn’t finished speaking when the door to the training area was suddenly banged open.

Qiao Sang turned her head to look.

Entering the door were not only Qin Wen, the combat division teacher but also… Professor Xian.
