Beast Taming: My first spirit beast was a frog junior?

late at night.

Wang Qiang tossed and turned, unable to sleep.

Feeling agitated, he threw off the thin air-conditioning blanket and got out of bed.

The lights were turned on.

"Woof!" The black wolfhound straightened up from the cushion.

What is this dad up to so late at night instead of sleeping?

The black wolfhound was quite helpless.

The last time I stayed up late at night was when the other person dragged me to support his underlings.

A deep sigh escaped my lips.

Who told me to choose this myself?

He took two steps forward and rubbed against Wang Qiang's right leg.

Upon seeing his beloved spirit beast, Wang Qiang's agitated mood eased considerably.

In July, the daytime in Tree City is already quite hot, but it gets cooler at night.

Wang Qiang sighed deeply, squatted down and hugged the black wolfhound tightly, feeling extremely confused.

He wanted to work hard for the profession of beast tamer, but his long-standing habits made it impossible for him to let go of everything from the past.

Doesn't he know what others think of people like him?

Of course he knew, he just didn't care.

But now...

In the dull room, where his thoughts were scattered, a phone call pulled him back to reality.

"Boss, Sanwa has been bullied by Chen Dagou and his gang from Duolai Town. The brothers have already grabbed their weapons and are just waiting for your orders."

The video call featured six carefree young men, some overweight and some thin.

Wang Qiang looked at them, and in the past, he would be furious if anyone dared to bully his underlings.

But after being given a cold shoulder by Xu Xian during the day, he felt only indescribable irritation.

After hanging up the call, Wang Qiang took the black wolfhound outside.

But then, with a loud 'bang,' the roller shutter door in the house was kicked hard.

"You little bastard, you've been out fooling around again!!" Father Wang roared.

Wang Qiang was feeling frustrated and was about to blurt out a rebuttal when he was met with a pair of reddened eyes that were about to fill with tears.

"I……"

He was at a loss for words.

An even greater sense of confusion overwhelmed him, leaving him frozen in place.

After a long while, Wang Qiang finally got on his motorcycle.

"Once you're gone, don't acknowledge me as your father anymore!!" Wang's father roared.

With the roar of the engine, all that was left for the father was his back.

Mr. Wang pressed his chest and took a blood pressure pill.

His gaze was fixed on the dark road, the streetlights on both sides unable to bring light to his silent heart.

"Sigh!"

Wang's father sighed deeply, and as usual, he pulled up a table and a small stool, then drank his homemade liquor into his throat.

The father's gaze was deep and uneasy; he was at his wit's end.

"I might as well drink myself to death!" He gulped down three ounces of liquor, but he drank too fast and coughed and choked repeatedly.

The strong liquor went down his throat, and filled with sorrow, he fell asleep in no time.

When I opened my eyes again, I thought it was morning, but instead I heard a series of barking sounds.

I was lying in bed, my large bald head reflecting a blinding light under the incandescent bulb.

The stars were numerous outside the window, and the moonlight was hazy.

"If you can't drink it, don't drink it." Wang Qiang brought over a cup of hangover tea.

Mr. Wang took out his phone and saw that it had only been an hour since Wang Qiang left.

Wait, could it be the evening of the second day?

Looking at her son, she saw bloodstains at the corners of his eyes and his arms were bruised.

Wang's father's blood pressure immediately spiked.

Wang Qiang said in a deep voice, "I've already settled things with them. I... I won't go there again."

Wang's father suddenly looked up.

Wang Qiang glanced at his father's eyes, then turned away silently without turning back.

The next day.

At the foot of Jade Spider Mountain.

"What do you mean you're no longer a hoodlum?" Xu Xian was genuinely bewildered, looking at Wang Qiang, who was bowing at a ninety-degree angle, and the black wolfhound whose head was almost buried in the ground.

I don't think I used any verbal sparring against you.

Does this mean they've completely turned over a new leaf and abandoned darkness for light?

"Yes, I cut ties with them last night. I'm not going to be a thug or a boss anymore."

Wang Qiang hung his head, "I want to be a beast tamer, I want to be a real beast tamer! Please!!"

Xu Xian blinked twice and looked at Wawa, who was training by himself.

Wawa spread his hands.

Don't ask me, I'm just a frog, I don't know anything.

"Uh..." Xu Xian scratched his face and remained silent for a long time.

As time went on, Wang Qiang became increasingly nervous, and so did the black wolfhound.

The main reason Wang Qiang sought help from Xu Xian was that he believed Xu Xian was fully capable of preparing a special nutritional supplement for the black wolfhound.

With his limited financial resources, he simply couldn't afford to hire someone else to practice as a certified pharmacist.

Or rather, even if they had the means, they couldn't prepare two or three bottles. It wouldn't be of any use to the Black Wolfhound, but it would at least offer some consolation.

The only pharmacist he knew was Xu Xian, who had beaten him up.

"It's not impossible for me to help you," Xu Xian said quietly. "But since you said you want to become a beast tamer, you know the basic encyclopedia of spirit beasts, right? If you can remember fifty percent of the spirit beasts and their habits and characteristics, I'll help you."

"Huh?!" Wang Qiang was stunned; studying had always been his weak point.

He only learned about the Nine-Leak Fish because he had previously been looking for valuable spirit beasts to catch big fish at the seaside.

My knowledge of spirit beasts is limited to the Iron-Eating Beast, a unique spirit beast of the Dragon Kingdom, the five most cost-effective spirit beasts, and some common spirit beasts.

"What, you can't even handle such a small thing?"

For those who truly aspire to become beast tamers, this is merely the foundation.

Even Zhou Li, whose grades were average, could recite it backwards.

Zhou Li, who was far away in another city, suddenly sneezed.

Who is subtly criticizing me?

"I..." Wang Qiang glanced to the left at the black wolfhound that was also bowing its head, gritted his teeth, and said, "No problem, please don't worry."

After saying this, he bowed to Xu Xian and Wawa with the black wolfhound and then left.

Xu Xian shook his head.

I don't know if he's truly a prodigal son returning home or what.

But it's quite difficult for someone who spends all their time loafing around to learn.

If you really have that determination.

If Xu Xian was truly determined, he would ask Zhou Li to help him inquire about it.

Who knows what the other person is thinking?

A few days later.

July 13th.

There are only two days left until the competition organized by the association.

Same old spot.

While training, Wawa was fishing and scrolling through his phone, looking at various online verified knowledge.

Learning is a lifelong pursuit, and knowledge is especially important if you want to progress faster and more smoothly on the path of becoming a beast tamer.

I put down my phone, rubbed my eyes, and looked at the fishing rod that wasn't moving.

It was really bad luck.

Since catching the green carp last time, not a single fish has taken the bait these past few days.

As night approached, they still hadn't found anything.

"Well, we've got an air force today." Xu Xian shook his head.

I picked up the exhausted Wawa, packed our things, and prepared to return home when my phone rang.

It's Zhou Li.

He answered the phone, "What's up, Li Ge? Call me when you have time."

"Hehehe." Zhou Li chuckled three times on the other end of the phone. "Brother Xian, I originally planned to interact with you as an ordinary person, but after leaving Tree City, I realized I'm not an ordinary person. I'm coming clean: my dad is a big shot in the official transportation department of Tree City, and I'm a second-generation power and beast tamer..."

"Get to the point." Xu Xian was speechless. Someone who could get his hands on a golden-armored beast couldn't possibly come from an ordinary family.

"Hehehehe..." Zhou Li chuckled again and said, "My Golden Armor Beast is already at the intermediate level two, your championship is in jeopardy."
