No, the competition has been going on for five months, and there’s only one month left. Why are you talking to me about this competition now? Qiao Sang looked baffled.
Mikaela noticed the expression on her face and calmly said:
"The format of this Pet Beast Free Points Battle Competition allows for the possibility of a comeback later in the game. Although Thunder Dragon has only just evolved, it’s a Thunder Dragon dual-attribute pet beast. Even freshly evolved, it’s not something ordinary pet beasts of the same level can compete with. It’s not impossible for it to catch up on points with pet beasts that have been competing for several months."
"Moreover, even if it doesn’t win in the end, it’s still a chance for Thunder Dragon to gain real combat experience."
First, entice me with the energy pool’s reward, and now you say this... Qiao Sang said seriously:
"I’ll have Tingbao participate well in this competition."
Having said that, she glanced around the room, asking, "Where’s Tingbao?"
"Momo."
The Dragon King sat on the sofa, pointed to the floor, and indicated that it was still training at the open-air training ground downstairs.
At the same time, Qiao Sang could also sense Tingbao’s location, and she held Shalala as she walked towards the door, saying:
"I’ll go talk to Tingbao about this first."
Go if you want, don’t take Shalala with you too... Mikaela watched Shalala quietly rest in Qiao Sang’s arms, sighed inwardly, but said nothing.
...
Open-air training ground.
When Qiao Sang arrived, she saw hundreds of Doppelgangers of Yaobao and hundreds of Doppelgangers of Gangbao occupying most of the training ground.
In the smaller section of the ground, Lubao, Tingbao, and Little Treasure Spirit’s Substitute were training.
There were many people and pet beasts around the field watching the training scene, discussing and taking photos, but no one dared to get close.
"Tingbao." Qiao Sang called out.
The first to notice was Little Treasure Spirit’s Substitute, which turned its head and looked over with gleaming eyes, teleporting next to Little Treasure Spirit, and excitedly called out:
"Xun Xun!"
You finally came back!
Little Treasure Spirit stealthily glanced at its own Beast Tamer, waved its paw forward, and called out:
"Xun Xun~"
Go back to training quickly.
Substitute: "..."
Reluctantly, the Substitute turned and went back to training.
"Ting Ting."
At the same time, Tingbao wiggled its body and flew over at the call of its own Beast Tamer, giving a cry to indicate you’re back.
Qiao Sang "hummed" in acknowledgment: "Just arrived, I have something to tell you."
Yaobao naturally knew what its own Beast Tamer was referring to, looking at Tingbao with envy.
It also wanted to compete...
"Ting Ting?"
Tingbao showed a puzzled expression and gave a cry.
What is it?
"Tomorrow we’re going to another city, and I want you to sign up for a competition," Qiao Sang said. "It might take a month."
After a pause, she added, "And I can’t command, during the battle it’s all up to you, will you participate?"
"Ting Ting."
Without thinking, Tingbao nodded emphatically and exclaimed.
Participate, of course; you’re a Professional Beast Tamer, and it’s trained to become stronger just to compete.
You even know this now, well done... Qiao Sang said with great satisfaction:
"Alright then, continue training, I’ll help you sign up."
"Ting Ting."
Qiao Sang, Mikaela, and Yaobao dismounted from a giant Flight-Type Pet Beast.
"Ting Ting." Tingbao felt the temperature around it, its eyes lit up.
But it still stuck close to Lubao.
Even though it felt cooler here than in the previous city, it was still a bit muggy for it.
Qingbao silently cast two Doppelgangers, drifting to the sides.
"What is Qingyun Nainai doing?" Mikaela asked, seeing this.
"I want it to train the ability to control its Doppelgangers from a distance," Qiao Sang replied.
"To improve this ability, just doing this won’t work," Mikaela said. "You either need to increase the doppelganger’s skill level or your own spiritual power."
"But isn’t what Qingbao is doing now a way to slightly improve both?" Qiao Sang asked, puzzled.
Mikaela paused in silence, a bit speechless.
This method indeed can improve both, but the effect is negligible compared to professional training and using resources to enhance spiritual power.
"It’s possible, but the improvement might not be as you’d hoped," Mikaela commented tactfully.
"It’s okay," Qiao Sang said. "If it were a more professional and rigorous training method, I’m afraid Qingbao wouldn’t be happy training for long."
Mikaela: "..."
You’re already a Professional Beast Tamer, using not professional training methods but instead some informal ones found online?
Yet considering Qiao Sang and her pet beasts are advancing at a speed unimaginable to most, Mikaela decided not to say more.
A strange genius like Qiao Sang should not be meddled with too much.
"Qingbao..."
Qingbao was focused on controlling its Doppelgangers nearby, having not noticed the conversation just revolved around it.
"Let’s go, first to the place I rented," Mikaela suggested.
