Beast taming, starting from zero point novel Chapter 488

Chapter 488: Chapter 453: Second Stage of the National Competition

[Pet Beast enters Paralysis Spell state, and during a certain period, it cannot use the skill it last used before entering the Paralysis Spell state.]

Qiao Sang understood.

Being paralyzed means it can’t move, while being in a Paralysis Spell state means it can’t use the skill it last used before the state was inflicted.

Qiao Sang suddenly had a thought flash through her mind, "They have such similar names, yet their meanings are completely different. I need to remember this point; I have a feeling it’ll be on a test in the future."

Thinking of this, she reread the introduction to the Paralysis Spell once more before putting down her phone and refocusing on the Beast Taming Codex.

Qiao Sang’s gaze moved downward and discovered that Xiao Xunbao’s skills, like Yaobao and Lubao when they evolved, had also increased by three.

They were Mind Headbutt, Frighten, and Ill-Fortune Curse.

Mind Headbutt, a high-rank skill of the Psychic Series, focuses telekinesis at the forehead to strike the opponent, causing damage and having a 20% chance to make the target enter a shrink state.

Damn, Xiao Xunbao actually awakened a Psychic Series physical attack skill... While Qiao Sang was delighted, she couldn’t help but worry at the same time.

What delighted her was that there were few Psychic Series physical attack skills, and Xiao Xunbao awakening this skill would definitely create an unexpected effect in battle.

Her concern was that the strength of any physical skill is somewhat linked to the Pet Beast’s size.

She had not seen any Pet Beast use Mind Headbutt in reality and was unclear about its actual strength, but instinctively felt that the effect might not be very impressive given Xiao Xunbao’s small stature.

"Looks like I need to find an opportunity to test this move..."

Frighten, a mid-rank skill of the Spectral Series, attacks the opponent with a sudden scream, and has a chance of making the target shrink back in fear.

That move seems pretty suitable for Xiao Xunbao...

Qiao Sang looked at the last skill—Ill-Fortune Curse.

Ill-Fortune Curse, a high-rank skill of the Spectral Series, requires the Pet Beast to expend one-third of its inner energy to make the target unlucky for a certain period of time.

Although Spectral-type Pet Beasts are not popular, many people rent one in private for their curse skills.

In terms of demand, Pet Beasts with curse skills are the best among Spectral-type Pet Beasts.

If scolded by the boss, rent one to cast a curse.

If the boyfriend (girlfriend) cheats, rent one to cast a curse.

If a teammate suddenly quits in the middle of a game causing a loss, rent one to cast a curse.

In summary, Spectral-type Pet Beasts with curse skills still find it easy to get jobs.

Qiao Sang thought, it looks like the scope of tasks I can take on just expanded a bit...

She glanced at the remaining points: 6511.

After training and competing for some time, Xiao Xunbao’s points had nearly reached ten thousand. However, just before she used the Dark Serene Crystal on Xiao Xunbao, she had entered the Beast Taming Codex and directly raised the level points to 9999, leaving only this much.

"Points are such a good thing, they reduce the time a Pet Beast needs to evolve by so much," Qiao Sang reflected silently.

The next moment, her consciousness returned to reality.

...

The next morning, Qiao Sang got up and went to the bathroom to freshen up.

"Xun Xun!"

Just as she picked up her toothbrush, Xiao Xunbao floated in, tears welling up in its eyes.

"What’s wrong?" Qiao Sang asked as she began brushing her teeth.

"Xun Xun!"

Xiao Xunbao held up its diamond gloves with a look of grievance.

It couldn’t get its gloves on anymore!

Qiao Sang rinsed her mouth and comforted it, "No big deal, I’ll custom-make a new pair for you after the competition."

"Xun Xun..."

Upon hearing this, Xiao Xunbao showed a resigned expression as if to say, "That’s the only option."

After finishing up in the bathroom, Qiao Sang suddenly remembered something and picked up her phone to call her mother’s number.

The call connected after two rings.

"Hello, Mom."

"What made you think of calling me today?" Her mother’s voice carried a note of amusement.
