Beast Taming: Starting From Zero-Chapter 618: A Drastic Change in Appearance

"What is a Dream Enlightenment Stone?" The director suddenly asked.

Qiao Sang's first reaction was surprise, she hadn't expected that the director didn’t even know about Dream Enlightenment Stones.

Her second reaction was understanding. Dream Enlightenment Stones were something unavailable on the market, so it made sense that the director had no way of knowing about them, just like how she initially had no knowledge of the Veil Essence.

Realizing this, Qiao Sang coughed and explained, "It’s a stone that allows a pet beast to dream of its most suitable evolutionary form while sleeping."

After saying this, Qiao Sang inexplicably felt a sense of satisfaction.

To be honest, ever since arriving on Chaosu Star, she had been surrounded by high-achieving students who seemed knowledgeable about everything.

Meanwhile, she often felt clueless, reinforcing her identity as an academic underachiever.

This was the first time since coming to Chaosu Star that she had seriously answered someone’s question about pet beast items.

And it felt pretty good.

"Amazing, there's actually such a miraculous item." Sylvia remarked in awe.

At that moment, Little Treasure took out the Dream Enlightenment Stone from the box.

Looking at the obviously valuable crystal, the director and Sylvia were once again reminded that the girl before them was far from ordinary.

"You actually have a friend like this?" The director glanced at Sylvia, his eyes filled with doubt.

This chapt𝓮r is updat𝒆d by ƒreeωebnovel.ƈom.

"I have no idea either…" Sylvia responded with a bewildered look.

While the two exchanged glances, Qiao Sang took the Dream Enlightenment Stone and nodded at Little Treasure.

"Xun xun~"

Little Treasure chirped, then floated in front of Yabao. His eyes glowed purple.

Yabao neither dodged nor resisted, allowing Little Treasure to lull him into sleep.

From inside the backpack, Lubao silently peeked out, then leaped onto her beastmaster’s shoulder to watch.

The director and Sylvia were momentarily stunned.

They hadn't expected a pet beast to be hidden in the backpack…

"This pet beast would look great on camera too…" The director’s eyes lit up at the thought.

"Yap yap…"

Yabao's drowsiness surged, his eyelids growing heavier until he finally fell into a deep sleep.

"Director." Qiao Sang looked over.

"Got it." The director nodded and formed a hand seal.

A green star array lit up.

From the star array emerged a pet beast with light blue eyes and purple eyelids, with fin-like light blue markings at the outer corners of its eyes.

"Dreamlace, use Dream Projection." The director instructed.

"Dreamla."

With just one glance, Dreamlace understood who needed the skill. It nodded, then its eyes glowed blue as it focused on the sleeping Yabao.

This method of casting Dream Projection seems different from how the pet beast of the mission issuer did it… Qiao Sang’s thoughts briefly wandered before she refocused on Yabao.

A transparent, image-filled bubble slowly rose from Yabao's head.

It grew larger and larger, stopping at nearly a meter in diameter.

Qiao Sang looked at the bubble.

Inside the dream, Yabao had returned to his original size instead of the miniaturized form he usually maintained with a shrinking wristband.

He was leisurely strolling when a blond-haired man, his face obscured, stood watching him.

Suddenly, Yabao turned his head and casually glanced at the man before walking away.

"It’s not dreaming about battling in a competition…?" Qiao Sang couldn't help but internally comment at the unexpected scene.

She crouched down, preparing to use the Dream Enlightenment Stone on Yabao.

The stone wasn’t meant to be used before sleep but after, as clearly stated in the instruction manual inside the box.

Just as Qiao Sang crouched, the scene in the bubble abruptly changed, like a TV suddenly switching channels.

Instinctively, she looked up.

Yabao was now locked in a distant gaze with another pet beast. In the background, the same blond-haired man stood far away.

Since the scene looked oddly familiar, Qiao Sang took a closer look.

At that moment, Yabao suddenly opened his mouth, launching a spiraling flame directly at the opposing pet beast.

The pet beast was instantly obliterated and collapsed.

"Oh my god!"

The faceless blond-haired man exclaimed, "You're incredible! So powerful! I've been searching for you! Form a contract with me!"

"Yap!"

Yabao scoffed disdainfully, then teleported right in front of the man and swiped at him with his claw.

As if you're worthy!

The man was sent flying dozens of meters away.

Only then did his face become visible, blond hair, emerald eyes, an aquiline nose, and thin lips. It was none other than the male lead who had acted alongside Little Treasure in a recent scene.

Qiao Sang: …

"No wonder the scene looked so familiar, it’s exactly like the setting from when Little Treasure was acting…"

The director and Sylvia, having also realized this, fell into silence.

Only Little Treasure's eyes sparkled as he watched the dream unfold.

A few seconds later, in the midst of this silence, Qiao Sang placed the Dream Enlightenment Stone onto Yabao.

The moment the purple-red stone touched Yabao, it emitted a soft glow.

As the light spread, the Dream Enlightenment Stone slowly sank into Yabao's body.

Once the stone completely disappeared, the dream bubble’s scene shifted again.

Qiao Sang’s eyes locked onto the new dream sequence.

The setting was now a volcanic landscape. The scorching air was so vivid that it felt almost tangible.

Molten lava spewed into the air, and the volcano’s surroundings were engulfed in flames and smoldering rock.

High above the sea of fire, Yabao's body radiated with the glow of evolution.

As the light faded, a transformed creature emerged in the dream bubble.

Without a reference for scale, its exact size was unclear, but its overall form was deep red. Its face resembled a crimson wolf, with piercing blue pupils and dark sclera. It had an exceptionally long, fluffy tail adorned with white markings, and its body was lined with flaming wings. Its silver claws were long and razor-sharp.

Staring at the awe-inspiring creature, the room fell silent once again.

Finally, the director took a deep breath and hesitantly asked, "Why does your pet beast's evolved form look like a Dragon-type beast?"

Qiao Sang paused, then agreed, "He does look a bit like one."

Yabao's newly evolved form had undergone significant changes, hiss previously subtle flame-like wings had grown large enough to support flight, and his claws had become distinctly draconic. Overall, he resembled a fusion between a canine pet beast and a Western dragon.

"Yabao's appearance has changed so much… Most of his white fur is gone. His evolution must lean heavily toward the Fire element…" Qiao Sang pondered.

"If the dream's background is a volcano, does that mean it needs to evolve in a high-temperature environment?"

As she fell into deep thought, Lubao quietly observed the dream bubble for a while, then muttered, Ice counteracts him.

After that, she turned away and jumped back into the backpack.

At that moment, a thought struck Qiao Sang. She pulled out her phone, activated the camera, and snapped a picture of Yabao's evolved form displayed in the dream bubble.
