Beast taming, starting from zero point novel Chapter 122

Chapter 122 -117 The Second Option

“It’s a Derivative Fire Potion, don’t worry, it’s good for Fire Attribute Beasts,” Liu Yao said with a smile.

Qiao Sang nearly roared out loud.

Because it was good for Fire Attribute Beasts, that’s exactly what she was worried about!

“Do you remember when I told you that your Fire-Toothed Dog’s Energy Value had already exceeded the normal range, yet it still hadn’t evolved?” Liu Yao asked.

Qiao Sang felt utterly panicked inside, but she still answered, “Its physical energy value hasn’t reached saturation.”

“Right,” Liu Yao nodded. “A Pet Beast’s Energy Value can be increased through combat, its own growth, and corresponding resources.”

...

“However, even with resources, it’s not something that can be enhanced whenever one wishes.”

“Beasts with high talent grow quickly and absorb resources rapidly, whereas those with lesser talent grow slowly, and even if fed fruits like the Thousand Flames Fruit which are supposed to boost Energy Values, they can’t absorb them.”

“Some Beast Tamers, in their haste to have their Pet Beasts evolve, inject them with various energy potions or make them drink without considering whether their Beasts can withstand it or not, which is inadvisable.”

“Your Fire-Toothed Dog’s Energy Value is beyond the normal range, so its talent is unquestionably exceptional. The reason it hasn’t reached saturation is either because it’s hit a temporary bottleneck and can’t increase further, or it lacks the corresponding energy to absorb.”

“So, I fed it some Thousand Flames Fruit to test it. If it’s the former situation, it would feel full after eating just one and wouldn’t be able to eat more, but it devoured an entire dish.”

At this point, Liu Yao looked toward the Fire-Toothed Dog with an amused smile, “This means your Fire-Toothed Dog is perfectly capable of absorbing energy.”

“Its itchiness just now indicates that the energy is nearing the saturation point, and the Derivative Fire Potion works similarly to a Fire Element Evolution Stone, but its effects are milder.”

“Evolution Stones have a forcible enhancement effect when used on a Pet Beast, and even if the Pet Beast hasn’t reached energy saturation, using a high-grade Evolution Stone can still result in evolution.”

“The Derivative Fire Potion only takes effect when the Pet Beast’s energy can no longer increase at this stage. Looking at the Fire-Toothed Dog’s current state, if nothing unexpected happens, it should perfectly make the potion take effect in about half a day.”

After hearing the last sentence, Qiao Sang felt a dark wave before her eyes and nearly couldn’t stand steady.

Half a day? Evolution?

Isn’t there half a month until the next shoot?

So, did she just breach the contract?!

“Yaobao!”

Upon hearing this conversation, the Fire-Toothed Dog’s eyes blazed.

Evolution!

It was finally going to evolve!

Didn’t evolution mean it could become stronger?

“Yaobao!”

The Fire-Toothed Dog turned its head, wanting to share its joy with Qiao Sang immediately.

But upon seeing its Beast Tamer’s expression, it hesitated, the excitement in its heart giving way to confusion.

Its own Beast Tamer didn’t seem too happy about its evolution…

Liu Yao looked at Qiao Sang’s expression, puzzled, and asked, “What’s wrong?”

Qiao Sang tried to force a smile, her eyes brimming with tears, “I… I’m just too excited.”

“Don’t fret over it, this is what teachers should do. You just need to study hard and not waste your talent; if there’s anything else, just speak up, and I, as your teacher, will help you solve it,” Liu Yao assured with a smile.

Qiao Sang laughed dryly, “I want to live off-campus.”

Liu Yao: “…”

“And I also want to keep my phone with me during school.”

“…”

After Qiao Sang had left, Liu Yao sat in his chair, perplexed, “Old Manifest, I don’t know if it’s just my imagination, but I feel like Qiao Sang didn’t seem very happy just now.”

“Manifest.”

The Sky Manifest Bat fluttered its wings.

It wasn’t your imagination; she seemed unhappy as soon as she heard the Fire-Toothed Dog was going to evolve.

But why? Who could resist the allure of evolution?

It didn’t understand either.

…

Qiao Sang returned to her dorm room, closed the door, and lay on her bed.

Just the thought that the Fire-Toothed Dog would evolve in half a day drained her of the mood to continue with today’s training.

Though the vice principal hadn’t agreed to her requests to live off-campus and keep her phone, he did consent to her skipping this afternoon’s training.

Qiao Sang lay on her bed, her eyes void of life, staring at the ceiling.

Breaching the contract, huh…

How much will she have to compensate…

She thought she had been thorough when she signed a contract for just half a year, never expecting life to throw her a curveball so unexpectedly…

“Yaobao.”

The Fire-Toothed Dog, looking at its Beast Tamer’s state, no longer felt the excitement of knowing it was about to evolve.

It hung its head low by the bed, lost in thought.

The Treasure-seeking Ghost watched its Beast Tamer, then glanced at the Fire-Toothed Dog, pulled a ring off, and took out some milk from inside, first offering it to its Beast Tamer.

“Xiao Xunbao~”

“Xun Xun~”
