"Lei lei!"

Hearing that final sentence, Tingbao's face darkened, and yellow electrical arcs surfaced across his body.

Immediately after, recalling the unpleasant friction he had just had with his Beast Tamer, he ultimately held it in, letting the electrical arcs on his body disperse.

Seeing this, Mikayla revealed a look of surprise, seemingly not expecting Tingbao to actually be able to restrain his temper

Qiao Sang glanced at Tingbao and stated with complete earnestness: "Synergy during battle can be cultivated. No matter what, I will form a contract with Tingbao."

"Lei lei..."

Tingbao raised his head to look at his Beast Tamer, a trace of emotion flowing in his eyes.

"Then are you going to register for this tournament?" Mikayla asked.

"Yes, of course I'm registering." Qiao Sang said. 

"I really do want to try battling alongside Tingbao."

The higher a Beast Tamer's brain capacity went, the harder it became to develop. Plenty of B-rank Beast Tamers struggled until the end of their lives without breaking through to an A-rank Beast Tamer's brain capacity. 

Although she didn't believe she would be stuck forever, the breakthrough time would certainly not be as short as before; at minimum, it would likely be measured in years.

Now that Tingbao had reached the point where he could begin training, it was impossible for her to wait until she could contract him before starting his development. A battle tournament of this nature could serve as an excellent training opportunity.

"Lei lei!"

Tingbao let out a serious call, indicating that they should go ahead and register.

"Yap yap?"

Having listened from the side, Yabao couldn't wait to let out a bark

Can already contracted pets go up to compete as well?

"No." Qiao Sang stated. 

"The rule dictates that it's only for uncontracted pets."

"Yap yap..."

Yabao displayed a disappointed expression.

"If you want to compete, there will be plenty of opportunities down the road." Qiao Sang comforted.

"Yap yap..."

Yabao let out a call, indicating he understood.

Right at this moment, Qingbao drifted in from the direction of the open-air training field.

Mikayla cast a glance in Qingbao's direction and stated: "Once we finish taking Tingbao to participate in this tournament, it'll also be time to arrange a competition for Qingbao."

A competition? Qingbao blanked out for a moment, a look of mild excitement surfacing on her face.

"I will." Qiao Sang nodded.

With that, she stood up and said, "I'll take Tingbao out first to see what skills he currently knows."

To be honest, she currently only knew that Tingbao could execute an electricity-discharging skill. If they went straight into a tournament like this, the commands she could shout out would probably be limited to "Dodge," "Discharge," and "Get up."

Mikayla naturally had no objections.

Holding Tingbao, Qiao Sang walked out to the open-air training field, placed him onto the ground, and said: "Execute all the skills you know once so I can see."

Without a contract, she couldn't view the relevant data in the Beast Codex. Naturally, she could only rely on the most basic method, asking the pet directly.

"Lei lei."

Tingbao nodded earnestly. Channeling his energy, rows of yellow electrical arcs surfaced all around his body, then converged into a bolt that struck down directly at the ground.

A small amount of soil exploded outward.

You execute this discharge move every single day, as if I wouldn't know it... Qiao Sang asked, "Are there any others?"

"Lei lei."

Tingbao thought for a moment, nodded, then raised his tail and whipped it downward with force.

Nothing happened.

"Lei lei..."

Seemingly feeling that it was somewhat embarrassing, Tingbao's face darkened. Raising his tail once more, he whipped it downward with full force.

Dust flew into the air, but aside from that, there was still nothing.

"Lei lei!"

Displaying an angry expression, Tingbao increased his power and whipped his tail again.

The flurry of dust kicked up a bit higher.

Little Tingbao fell silent.

Qiao Sang cleared her throat and asked: "Do you have an attack skill that uses your tail?"

"Lei lei..."

Tingbao nodded his head.

"Then try gathering the energy inside your body to your tail area before whipping it to attack." Qiao Sang instructed.

"Lei lei."

Tingbao blanked out for a moment, put on a serious expression, and raised his tail high once more. A faint yellow electrical arc flickered at the tip of his tail, but quickly vanished.

His tail struck the ground with force, kicking up dust.

"Lei lei..."

Tingbao felt deeply discouraged, even starting to doubt whether he actually knew this skill.

Qiao Sang pondered for a moment and said: "You have two forces inside your body: Dragon-type and Electric-type. If the Electric-type energy isn't working, you can try gathering Dragon-type energy onto it."

"Lei lei." Tingbao blanked out for a second. His expression turned serious as he raised his tail and channeled his energy.

Very quickly, silver-white energy coated his tail.

This time, the energy did not disperse.

With a loud bang, the tail wrapped in silver-white light slammed heavily onto the ground.

Rocks shattered and flew in all directions, directly whipping out a sizable crater in the earth.

"Lei lei!"

Seeing this, Tingbao displayed an excited expression.

Dragon Tail, a High-tier Dragon-type skill... Qiao Sang froze for a moment, followed by a surge of intense joy.

She hadn't expected Tingbao to be able to execute Dragon Tail at such a young age. His talent was clearly exceptionally high!

As a B-rank Beast Tamer who had raised Yabao and the others to this point, Qiao Sang had seen a lot of the world by now. She didn't feel that overwhelmingly shocked and ecstatic feeling like when Yabao first learned the High-tier skill Meteor Rain. After a brief moment of joy, she steadied her emotions and smiled:

"Not bad, you catch on right away. Do you have any other skills?"

"Lei lei..."

Tingbao reined in his excited expression, sensed for a moment, and shook his head.

"No more?" Qiao Sang asked.

"Lei lei.

Tingbao shook his head.

If there are no more skills, why are you shaking your head? Qiao Sang was somewhat confused.

At this point, Little Treasure, who had turned invisible nearby to watch the fun, called out: "Xun xun~"

The youngest says he's out of energy.

"Lei lei."

Tingbao nodded, indicating that the boss was correct.

"Xun xun~"

Even though Tingbao had called him that over the month and a half on the starship, Little Treasure still revealed himself in excitement upon hearing the title.

Then he saw Tingbao, who had just claimed to be out of energy, glaring at him with an unfriendly expression, yellow electrical arcs surfacing across his body like a bad electrical connection.

This Hatred Transfer actually hasn't ended yet... Qiao Sang realized she might have been deceived by the Envoy of Ill Omen.

"Xun xun..."

Little Treasure silently went invisible.

"Lei lei..."

Realizing what he had just done, Tingbao put on a look of regret.

Seeing Tingbao's expression, Qiao Sang spoke up: "It's fine. You're just being affected by the Hatred Transfer trait. Little Treasure can understand."

"Xun xun~"

Remaining invisible, Little Treasure let out a call, indicating that that was right, the boss could understand.

"Lei lei."

Only then did Tingbao feel a bit better.

"Little Treasure, pull out a bottle of Energy Recovery Potion." Qiao Sang requested.

"Xun xun~"

Little Treasure let out a call.

Roughly five seconds later, a bottle of Energy Recovery Potion materialized out of thin air.

Though in Qiao Sang's eyes, it was simply Little Treasure taking off his ring and retrieving it from inside.

Qiao Sang took the Energy Recovery Potion, handed it to Tingbao, and said: "Drink this up so we can recover your energy."

Obediently, Tingbao drank the Energy Recovery Potion.

Ten minutes later, Qiao Sang said: "Execute the skills you haven't shown me yet."

"Lei lei."

Tingbao nodded his head. Then, he widened his eyes, flashing a sharp, piercing gaze.
