Beast taming, starting from zero point novel Chapter 116

Chapter 116 -111: Energy Testing Machine

The competition involved not only battles but also coordination contests, and it was divided into individual and team categories.

Qiao Sang realized this was why Pet Beasts like the Fire-Toothed Dog, which were not adept at fighting alone, were present.

In team battles, with its healing skills, the Fire-Toothed Dog could act as a healer, and if it had vine-like skills, it could play a control role. If it also had skills like Flying Leaf Quick Knife for attacking, it could engage in containment, making it an absolutely top choice for team combat.

Even if it wasn’t for team battles, being selected for the coordination category due to the Fire-Toothed Dog’s appearance wouldn’t be bad either.

“One very important reason you were chosen is that your rapport and coordination with your Pet Beasts far exceed that of your fellow freshmen. While they are still troubled with how to get along with their Pet Beasts, you have been able to command your Beast to fight. That’s where your talent lies.”

“Some of you may not be the most outstanding among the freshmen, but in terms of nourishing Pet Beasts, you are the best!” Qin Wen encouraged loudly.

...

At these words, everyone involuntarily straightened their backs a bit, even Jin Feifan, who was on the very edge trying hard to lower his presence, lifted his chin slightly.

Only Qiao Sang was completely baffled.

Commanding Pet Beasts to fight?

Wasn’t it just about the contract?

And that’s the best?

Qin Wen observed everyone’s reaction and changed her tone.

“I want to say something beforehand, you are the school’s initial choice but not the final one. I hope through this training camp, all of you will make it into the final team instead of being replaced midway,” she said.

Qiao Sang internally remarked how after a round of praise, she also gave everyone a wake-up call, making them aware of how precious this training opportunity was.

Quite the teacher, with a knack for speaking.

As expected, everyone stood even straighter.

“Enough talk,” Qin Wen said, pointing to an Energy Tester next to her. “Let’s start by testing everyone’s Energy Value. Line up and put the testing helmet on your Pet Beast.”

The Energy Tester was different from the Strength Tester.

While the Strength Tester measured strength, the Energy Tester measured the Energy Value inside the Pet Beast.

Overall, it was a high-tech product that cost many times more than the Strength Tester.

Looking at the testing machine, Qiao Sang felt a little uneasy.

However, since they only needed to wear a helmet for testing and didn’t have to release any skills, he thought it wasn’t a big problem.

“This test isn’t for selecting people for the combat group, is it?” Zheng Yining asked quietly, turning her head.

“Very likely,” Qiao Sang nodded.

The Energy Value could indicate the endurance of the Pet Beast and the power of the skills it released, which were important in battle competitions. It seemed insignificant for coordination contests.

“We’re done for, we’re done for; if I’d known we were doing this the first day, I would have let Long Ears eat more energy meals this morning,” Zheng Yining said anxiously.

Having just eaten an energy meal which was still undigested in the body, the test value might be affected slightly, though not significantly.

Looking at the elegant cat below licking its paws, Qiao Sang said, “I think Long Ears is more suited for the coordination contest.”

Hearing this, Zheng Yining sighed, “I know, but Long Ears isn’t interested in coordination contests; it just likes battling.”

Qiao Sang was surprised and looked again at Long Ears, continuing its paw licking.

Really, Pet Beasts are not always what they seem…

Then she thought of something and suddenly turned to Jin Feifan beside her, “Do you have a preference for which group to join?” _{frёewebnoѵēl.com}

Jin Feifan said modestly, “Me and Xiao Xunbao both want to join the coordination group.”

“Xunbao.”

Xiao Xunbao weakly echoed.

Qiao Sang nodded in agreement, not surprised at all.

While chatting, the queue had formed, and soon the first person had finished testing.

“Wang Jihang, 2602.”

Qin Wen reported the value displayed on the screen connected to the testing helmet.

For a junior Pet Beast, an Energy Value ranging from 1 to 10,000 was not bad for a newly contracted Beast by a freshman Beast Tamer.

Luo Qian was beside, jotting down notes with her head down.

“Next.”

As Qin Wen was about to remove the testing helmet from the Bubble Bell’s head, the Bubble Bell dodged it with a tilt of its head.

Qin Wen paused, tempted to try again, but this time the Bubble Bell floated up wearing the helmet.

“Bell.”
