The beast starts from zero

"Go out?" Qiao Sang was stunned for a moment, then looked at the terrifying Lei Jing outside, suddenly understood something, and asked:

"You're going to swallow lightning?"

"Tingting".

Tingbao nodded.

"But isn't this lightning a bit too terrifying?" Qiao Sang asked hesitantly.

You should know that Tingbao has never absorbed such terrifying lightning power before.

"Tingting".

Tingbao's expression was calm, but its eyes held a certain determination as it cried out, implying that terror was better, as it would make it stronger.

Tingbao Qiaosang looked at it, feeling a slight touch in her heart.

Although Tingbao's recent performance shows that it wants to become stronger, its determination to become stronger seems to be even stronger than it imagined.

With thoughts flashing through his mind, Tingbao called out again:
"Tingting".

Even if it can't devour me, it doesn't matter if I get injured, Lu Bao can help me heal.

"Bingluo".

Lu Bao nodded, indicating that it was okay.

Such powerful lightning is too much for Tingbao, who is only at the General level. Forcing it would definitely cause injury. However, with Lu Bao around, there's no need to worry about any aftereffects. It's worth a try. Even if Tingbao only absorbs one-tenth of the power of this level of lightning, his internal energy should be significantly enhanced. Qiao Sang thought of this and said:

"If you get injured and can't hold on, come back. Don't force yourself to swallow it even when you're injured."

"Tingting".

Tingbao nodded and called out, indicating that he understood.

After saying that, it used its tail to open the window.

"boom!!!"

In an instant, thunder roared, several times more terrifying than before, like a divine beast unleashing its fury, causing the entire sky to tremble.

"Xia Xia!"

Xia Bao was startled and instinctively rushed into the arms of her beast tamer.

Holy crap, Lei Qiaosang's heart trembled slightly, but he remained calm on the surface and reached out to catch Xia Bao steadily.

Hearing the thunder in his ears, Tingbao did not stop moving at all. After opening the window, he twisted his body and flew outside.

"Clear!"

Qingbao barked excitedly, indicating that it wanted to go out and take a look too.

As he spoke, he prepared to transform into the wind and leave.

But before it could transform into wind, Qiao Sang, holding Xia Bao in one arm, used the other to slam the window shut with a "snap," saying:

"Don't go."

The thunder subsided considerably the instant the window was closed.

"Qingqing?"

Qingbao looked at her beast tamer with a wronged expression and called out, indicating why.
Thankfully, the wind hasn't blown yet. Qiao Sang felt a strange sense of relief and said earnestly:
"It's so scary with all the thunder outside right now. You could easily get struck by lightning if you go out. It's not safe."

"Qingqing."

Qingbao cried out with a wronged expression.

But the sixth brother has already gone out.

"It's heading straight for Lei," Qiao Sang said. "And you, what are you planning to do outside?"

"Qingqing."

Qingbao called out.

It wanted to feel the thunder outside.
As it spoke, it seemed to remember something and called out again earnestly:
"Clear!"

It felt as if the wind outside was calling to it!

As he spoke, a gust of wind blew up.

"I want to get out, I want to get out."

Qingbao really wanted to go out. Qiao Sang listened to the surrounding wind, remained silent for two seconds, and then compromised:

"Have breakfast before you go out."

He paused, then added, "Tingbao can get full by absorbing lightning, so you have to eat."

Qingbao is essentially the wind, yearning for freedom. It's indeed difficult to restrict her movements. If she gets struck by lightning while out, Lubao can simply treat her again.

Sensing his beast tamer's thoughts, Gangbao turned to look at Lubao, giving her a "you've worked hard" look.

"Clear!"

Qingbao's eyes crinkled into a smile, and she suddenly became happy. A pleasant breeze blew around her, and after circling her beast tamer once, she drifted towards the living room outside the door.

Qiao Sang glanced at Qing Bao's departing figure, then looked back at the terrifying lightning flashing outside the window, a worried expression on her face.

"Steel Power".

Gangbao sensed its master's worry and called out, indicating whether it needed to go out and guard Tingbao, and bring it back when it was injured.

“No need,” Qiao Sang said. “If Tingbao gets hurt, I can sense it and just summon him back. You could easily get hurt if you go out in this weather.”

Upon hearing this, Gangbao felt a surge of emotion.

Just then, the thought of his own beast tamer echoed in his mind: This lightning is so terrifying, even Steel Treasure should be injured if it doesn't use defensive skills. If it gets injured, I get injured. I absolutely cannot let Steel Treasure go out and get struck by lightning.

Steel Treasure: "."

In the living room.

Qingbao floated over to Xiao Xunbao, who was still focused on casting a mental link with the doll, and called out:
"Qingqing?"

Are they still using the mental link?
Little Treasure Hunter didn't answer immediately. Instead, its eyes glowed blue as it cast a mental link on the doll in its paws before it let out a cry:
"Looking around~"

Yes~
Despite spending most of the night using the mental link, Little Treasure Hunt wasn't in pain.

Before unleashing its mental link tonight, it went live to tell its fans that it was going to give away plush toys. All the fans flooded the screen with their excitement and anticipation, which fueled its motivation for the event.

"Qingqing?"

Qingbao called out, asking if they could go out to play together after breakfast.
Upon hearing this, Little Treasure Hunter turned to look at the sky outside the window, which was flashing with terrifying lightning. He gave a look that said, "What are you talking about?" and exclaimed:
"Search?"

"Qingqing."

Qingbao patiently repeated it once, which was unusual for him.

After breakfast, do you want to go out and have some fun?

"Search!"

Little Treasure Hunter took a step back, gave him a "Are you alright?" look, and called out, indicating that only a fool would go out in this weather!

Qingbao's face darkened instantly.

At the same time, a violent wind began to blow around them.

Little Treasure Hunter's golden hair flew wildly, and the toys were blown into the air by the wind.

Little Treasure Hunter sensed the wind around him and immediately realized he had said something wrong. He quickly teleported several meters away and called out again to make amends:
"Search!"

I didn't mean to say you're an idiot!
Qingbao's forehead veins bulged, and finally, unable to contain himself any longer, he shouted:
"Clear!"

It then turned into a raging wind.

"Search!"

Little Treasure Hunter was startled and quickly teleported away to avoid it.

In the huge living room, Xiao Xunbao and Qingbao chased each other, and everything—dolls, tables, chairs, appliances, plants—was blown away by the strong wind.

The windows rattled loudly.

Qiao Sang pushed open the door and instinctively raised her arm to block the oncoming gale.

"Search!"

Upon seeing his own beast tamer, Little Treasure Hunter quickly teleported behind him to hide.

The gale stopped in an instant.

Qingbao appeared, looked at her beast tamer with a wronged expression, and called out:
"Qingqing."

Little Treasure Hunter said I'm an idiot.

"Search!"

Little Treasure Hunter floated out from behind his Beastmaster and called out, indicating that he hadn't said anything!

"Clear!"

Qingbao shouted angrily.

You said it!
"Search!"

I didn't say that!
"Qingqing!" You said it!
The wind picked up again.

Qiao Sang stepped forward, standing between Qing Bao and Xiao Xun Bao, and said:

"I heard what you just said, Qingbao, this is wrong of you."

Qingbao was stunned, then looked at her beast tamer with a hurt expression, unable to believe that she would say such a thing.

Little Treasure Hunter nodded in agreement.

Qiao Sang continued:
"Little Treasure Hunter is a Ghost-type pet, and its biggest fear is lightning. If it goes out, it will definitely be terrified of being struck by lightning. You are different. You are brave and not afraid of lightning. How can Little Treasure Hunter compare to you?"

"Qingqing."

Qingbao was taken aback again, then the corners of her mouth unconsciously curled up, revealing an expression that said, "What you said makes a lot of sense," and she exclaimed.

I was wrong.

As he spoke, he gave Little Treasure Hunter a mocking look.

At the same time, the strong winds disappeared.

Little Treasure Hunter: "???"

My own beast tamer seems to be right, but something just doesn't feel right.
Although Qingbao gets angry easily, she's still easy to coax. Qiao Sang sighed inwardly, looking at the mess in the living room, and said:
"Tidi up the living room."

Upon hearing this, Qingbao turned to look around, then realized what she had just done. She couldn't help but look embarrassed and exclaimed:
"Qingqing."

After saying that, he controlled the wind and prepared to tidy up his things.

"Looking around~"

At this moment, Little Treasure Hunter called out, indicating that he would take care of it.

After he finished speaking, his eyes gleamed with a blue light.

All the fallen dolls and furniture were controlled by an invisible force, lifted into the air, and quickly returned to their original positions.

Qingbao turned to look at Xiao Xunbao, who was tidying up things, and found him much more pleasing to the eye.

Forty minutes later.

The staff brought breakfast.

After the dishes were laid out on the table, Michael looked around and asked:
"Where's Tingbao?"

"It went outside to absorb lightning." After saying this, Qiao Sang turned to look at the object-recognizing monster standing not far away and said:
"Are you hungry? Don't worry, I've already rented a rechargeable electric-type pet, it'll be here soon."

The object-recognizing monster: "???"

"Know it."

The creature that knew things forced a fake smile and let out a cry.

Thank you.

"Don't be shy, it's my duty to make sure you're full," Qiao Sang said with a smile, then lowered her head to begin her meal.

Michaela glanced out the window.

At this moment, thunder roared, and streaks of lightning streaked across the sky, illuminating the heavens and sending chills down one's spine.

Michaela withdrew his gaze and frowned, saying:
"Can Tingbao absorb such lightning?"

"It's been out there devouring things for almost an hour now," Qiao Sang remarked. "I never expected Tingbao to be able to devour things for so long."

She could sense Tingbao's condition. It had been injured in just about five minutes since she left, but she could still sense that it was in a manageable state. Moreover, she checked the Beast Taming Manual and found that Tingbao's level data was constantly increasing, indicating that the lightning absorption was very successful.

Michaela pondered for a moment, then asked:

"Is Tingbao alright?"

"I am injured," Qiao Sang said truthfully, "but it's still within my tolerance level, and the injury isn't too serious."

Michaela glanced at the lightning outside again, quite surprised: "I didn't expect that Tingbao, who is only a general-level, could absorb such lightning."

"Perhaps Tingbao has the characteristic of resonating with heavenly lightning, so even if it is injured, it can continue to recover," Qiao Sang guessed.

Thunder Resonance: Pets with this trait can connect with the lightning energy generated between heaven and earth and continuously recover. Back when Tingbao absorbed lightning during a thunderstorm, Qiao Sang pretended to have made a new discovery and brought up this topic, letting Teacher Michaela know that Tingbao had this trait.

Michaela nodded slightly: "Possibly. It seems that Thunder Treasure's Thunder Resonance trait level is not low."

She only knew that Tingbao had the ability to resonate with heavenly lightning, but she didn't know the specific level.

As she spoke, she laughed: "With the combination of Thunder Devouring and Heavenly Thunder Resonance, it seems that Thunder Kingdom is very suitable for Tingbao to become stronger."

Upon hearing this, Qiao Sang's heart stirred.

Yes, actually, for Tingbao, naturally generated lightning power is sometimes more effective than various electric materials.

Thunderstorms are frequent in Lei Dian Kingdom. If Tingbao stayed here for a while and absorbed lightning of this magnitude every now and then, he might not only reach the mid-stage of the General level, but also the late-stage of the General level very quickly.
Just as she was thinking, she suddenly sensed something, her expression changed slightly, and she quickly formed hand seals.

The next second, a dazzling and luxurious golden star array lit up the living room.

With his eyes closed, Tingbao, his body charred black, appeared in the star array.

"Search!"

Seeing this, Little Treasure Hunter looked worried and cried out.

Sixth brother!

"Lu Bao," Qiao Sang called out.

Lu Bao looked at Ting Bao, and without saying a word, the gem on her forehead emitted an icy blue light that shone on its body.

As the icy blue light faded, Tingbao opened his eyes, fully recovered.

"Search."

Little Treasure Hunter breathed a sigh of relief.

"How did you suddenly get such a serious injury?" Qiao Sang asked.

"Tingting".

Tingbao twisted its body and got up. After recalling for a moment, it barked, indicating that it had just absorbed lightning. A bolt of lightning struck it, and it couldn't withstand it, so it fainted and woke up here.

It seems Tingbao can withstand the power of the absorbed lightning, but it wouldn't be able to withstand another bolt of lightning striking it while it was absorbing the lightning. Qiao Sang finished her analysis and laughed:
"Professor Michaela was just talking to me about you."

Tingbao glanced at Michaela.

Michaela looked back at Tingbao and gave him a friendly smile.

Tingbao withdrew his gaze expressionlessly and called out:
"Tingting".

It went out to continue absorbing lightning.

After saying that, it twisted its body, preparing to fly out the window.

Suddenly, it saw something, stopped, turned around, and came to the object-recognizing monster.

The object-recognizing monster: "???"

"Tingting".

Tingbao called out, indicating that he had almost forgotten about you.

After saying that, without waiting for the object-recognizing monster's response, crackling yellow arcs of electricity appeared on his body, converging into one and striking the object-recognizing monster.

The object-recognizing monster: "."

The object-obsessed monster pretended to show an expression of enjoyment.

"Isn't this electric-type pet being called a 'charged' pet for nothing?" Qiao Sang thought to herself, but she didn't stop it.

Before long, Tingbao withdrew the lightning from his body and twisted his body to the window.

Qiao Sang instructed, "Don't push yourself too hard. If you can't absorb it, come back."

Even if a pet has the ability to devour lightning, it cannot devour and absorb it indefinitely; there is a limit to the amount of lightning power it can absorb each day.

"Tingting".

Tingbao cried out, then used its tail to open the window, twisted its body, and flew outside.

"boom!!!"

The terrifying thunder shook the heavens and the earth.

"Xunxun." Little Xunbao watched Tingbao's departing figure with an expression of admiration. Its eyes glowed blue, and it quickly used its telekinetic power to close the window.

Just then, there was a knock on the door.

Little Treasure Hunter turned his head and looked towards the gate.

The door was opened with control.

A bird-like pet, mostly yellow in color, walked in through the door, looked around, and called out:
"Genggeng?"

Who needs to charge?

Qiao Sang paused for a moment, looked at the object-recognizing monster, and asked:
Are you full? Want to recharge your battery some more?

The object-recognizing monster: "???" (End of Chapter)
