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
