Beast Taming: Starting From Zero-Chapter 954: Witnessing Together

That evening, Qiao Sang added points to Qingbao’s level.

She did the same the following day. With an S-rank Beast Master staying by her side every day, she didn't want to risk adding all the points at once and causing a suspicious anomaly.

On the morning of the third day, Ye Xiangting arrived at the Pet Center as usual, bringing some food with her. Little Treasure opened the door. As she walked in, she immediately felt a chilling draft that was exceptionally cold.

"Why is the air conditioning set so low?" Ye Xiangting asked as she placed the bags on the coffee table, walking toward the temperature control panel on the wall to turn it up. However, she froze when she looked at the display.

Huh? The AC isn't even on?

Qiao Sang, sitting on the sofa, caught her mother’s reaction and said, "The AC is off. It’s just that Lubao is training Ice Armor while Qingbao is training Tailwind. When the two combine, the breeze gets a bit chilly."

Lubao’s Ice Armor proficiency had leveled up the night before, so when she used the skill now, her defense was higher and the frost she emitted was significantly heavier.

Qiao Sang’s body, strengthened by the feedback from her pets, was already used to this level of cold. If her mom hadn't mentioned it, she wouldn't have noticed the room was colder than usual.

Ye Xiangting was stunned for a moment. She looked at the visible frost radiating from Lubao’s ice-covered body, then at the curtains fluttering incessantly by the window. She thought to herself that these two skills combined were as effective as an air conditioner, and certainly saved on electricity.

As that thought crossed her mind, the wind in the room suddenly died down. the temperature rose noticeably;at the very least, the biting chill was gone.

Ye Xiangting blinked in surprise.

"Qing qing?"

Qingbao’s voice rang out in the room. While watching the match livestream, Qiao Sang translated, "Qingbao is asking if it’s a bit warmer now."

Ye Xiangting was deeply moved. "Yes! It’s not cold anymore!"

Qingbao, reassured, continued practicing Tailwind.

Ye Xiangting sat down on the sofa and sighed, "Qingbao is truly thoughtful."

Just as she spoke, Little Treasure used telekinesis to bring a drink over from the table and handed it to her. Ye Xiangting took it and added with a smile, "Little Treasure is thoughtful, too."

"Xun xun~"

Little Treasure was satisfied.

Ye Xiangting watched the match, but her mind remained on Qingbao. About ten minutes later, during a match break, she asked, "Why has Qingbao been training Tailwind in the room so much lately?"

Qiao Sang replied, "She wanted to train outside, but you know how obsessed the people in the Central Hollow Region are with her. I don't feel comfortable letting her go out alone, so I have her train in the room."

Training at the Pet Center usually requires a reservation, but since Qingbao can turn into wind, invisible and formless,mshe can train without a field.

Ye Xiangting: "...That’s not what I meant. I was asking why she’s been training this skill so hard lately without taking a break."

She noticed Qingbao was training every time she visited.

"She’s preparing for her evolution." Qiao Sang answered.

Ye Xiangting looked shocked. "Evolution?"

Qiao Sang nodded. "Qingbao’s energy is nearing the upper limit for a Mid-level pet. So, I told her that once her Tailwind proficiency improves, we'll prepare for her evolution."

Seeing that the groundwork was laid, she added, "Actually, the time for her evolution should be tonight. Mom, do you want to come and see?"

"Qing qing?"

Before her mother could respond, Qingbao manifested beside them with a look of pleasant surprise and let out a cry. Really?

"Really." Qiao Sang smiled.

"Haven't you felt the energy in your body approaching its limit?"

"Qing qing..."

Qingbao focused and sensed her internals, then honestly shook her head. No feeling.

Qiao Sang: ...

"That’s why I said tonight." Qiao Sang said with a straight face.

"Check again when evening comes."

"Qing qing~"

Qingbao nodded happily and vanished back into the wind to train. Her confidence in her Beast Master's ability to evolve her in a short time had now risen to 98%.

Ye Xiangting took a long time to process this, saying hesitantly, "Didn't they say she just evolved recently? Can she really evolve again so soon?"

Qiao Sang realized that whenever it came to Qingbao, both Teacher Mikayla and her mother worried quite a bit.

"I’ll use the equipment to test her energy tonight." Qiao Sang said.

"If the energy hasn't reached the limit, I definitely won't use the evolution item on her tonight."

She asked again, "Are you coming tonight?"

The evolution of a legendary pet... her mother happened to be right there, and Qiao Sang didn't want her to miss it.

"I’m coming!" Ye Xiangting said without a second thought. Even if there was only a 60% chance, she wouldn't miss it.

10:50 PM. Suburban Villa.

Yu Ke and Yu Le were busy flattering Ye Xiangting, alternating between "Auntie, you’re so young, you look like you’re in your twenties" and "Auntie, you’re so amazing to give birth to a freak of nature like God Qiao." Ye Xiangting’s smile never left her face.

On the other side, Little Treasure pulled an energy detector out of his ring.

"Qing qing..."

Qingbao appeared, her expression a mix of nervousness and anticipation. She was familiar with this device, she knew it was for testing energy, as Little Treasure often pulled items from his ring to introduce them to her.

When Qingbao manifested, Yu Ke’s gaze was immediately drawn over. She stopped her flattery and approached with a look of feigned curiosity, staring at the energy detector. "What’s happening here?"

"Testing energy." Qiao Sang replied.

"Whose energy?" Yu Ke asked, just to keep the conversation going.

"Qingbao’s." Qiao Sang said.

"If the test shows she’s reached her energy limit tonight, I’m preparing to evolve her."

Qingbao? Breezewing Nini? Evolution?! Yu Ke was completely floored by the news. Her level of shock was comparable to when she first heard Qiao Sang had signed up for the Regional Championships.

"Really? Breezewing Nini is going to evolve?!" Yu Le turned around, her face flushed with excitement.

Qiao Sang didn't speak in absolutes. "If the energy has reached the limit."

"God Qiao, with a setup like this, she’s definitely going to evolve!" Yu Le now viewed Qiao Sang as her idol and had confidence in her.

No wonder God Qiao’s mom and her teacher are all here tonight. Breezewing Nini is evolving!

Meanwhile, at the outdoor training ground, Liu Yao and his Sky Bat were busy setting up professional camera equipment.

"Are you that certain her energy has reached the limit and she can evolve tonight?" Mikayla asked.

Liu Yao looked up. "You don't believe it?"

He glanced at the camera in her hand.

Mikayla showed no embarrassment, saying calmly, "I’m just taking precautions."

Liu Yao laughed. "If you really didn't believe it, you would have just had Qiao Sang test her in the room and tell you the result, rather than following her all the way here." 𝑓𝑟𝑒𝘦𝓌𝑒𝑏𝑛𝑜𝘷𝑒𝘭.𝒸𝘰𝑚

Mikayla was silent for a moment before asking, "You seem very sure she’ll evolve tonight."

"Qiao Sang isn't the type to trouble others for no reason." Liu Yao said slowly.

"If she didn't have absolute certainty, she wouldn't have contacted me to come and watch." He paused and added,

"You’ve taught her for so long, you should know that her specialty is creating miracles."

Mikayla said nothing, which was a silent admission.

"Xun xun..."

Little Treasure pointed the phone at Qingbao. Qiao Sang, eating an apple, offered some coaching: "Do you know how to use camera movements? You can keep changing the angle. Maybe orbit around Qingbao in a 160-degree circle, the effect will be much better."

"Xun xun~"

Little Treasure found this logical and began floating around, constantly shifting angles to film.

It’s so much easier having so many people filming. I’ll just have them all send me their footage later... Qiao Sang thought to herself as she watched everyone recording Qingbao.

The evolution didn't happen as quickly as it did for other pets of the same tier. As time passed, the silhouette within the white light began to change. One could see the outline growing larger.

After nearly ten minutes, the white light faded, revealing the figure within.
