Chapter 22 Training Plan

Eight-Branch Coral, a Water-type Pet Beast, the evolved form of the Hidden Coral Bug, invisibility is not its skill but its characteristic.

As soon as it comes into contact with an object, it can adjust the nanocrystals on the surface of its skin to change its color accordingly, and thus achieve the effect of invisibility.

Qiao Sang looked at the introduction of the Eight-Branch Coral and fell silent for a moment.

Are you sure this isn't just a chameleon?

But the world of Beast Tamers is true to its name, the chameleons of her previous life didn't have such exaggerated capabilities.

The Eight-Branch Coral on the bus had its upper body attached to the square-faced man, while its eight tentacles remained hovering in the air.

So many people on the bus had close contact, yet not a single one noticed it.

Thinking this, Qiao Sang searched for more information about the Eight-Branch Coral.

After browsing for five minutes, confusion flashed in her eyes.

Nothing.

The content above didn't mention why the presence of the Eight-Branch Coral could disappear suddenly.

Initially, when she was on the bus, Qiao Sang thought for a moment that the square-faced man had put his Pet Beast into the Beast Taming Codex.

But when a Pet Beast is taken into the Beast Taming Codex, a faint light appears on the Pet Beast.

If that were the case, everyone on the bus could see it, so clearly the Eight-Branch Coral wasn't taken in.

Therefore, she paid extra attention when the square-faced man wanted to get off the bus later.

If the presence hadn't disappeared, why would the Fire-Toothed Dog smell it one moment and then not the next?

The square-faced man stood only two people away from her, so there was no way the Fire-Toothed Dog couldn't smell it from such a close distance.

But the Fire-Toothed Dog had said that the scent appeared and disappeared suddenly.

The Eight-Branch Coral had been on the square-faced man the whole time, its presence ever-present, how could it be described as suddenly appearing?

Was the Fire-Toothed Dog's nose not very sensitive?

So it only noticed when it took a closer, careful sniff?

"Yah... qiu!"

The Fire-Toothed Dog suddenly sneezed.

After failing to figure it out, Qiao Sang decided to post a question on the forum.

That's when the value of the forum became apparent.

It wasn't long before someone gave her an answer.

"[Isn't it just Skill Concealment?]"

"[How is that possible, Skill Concealment doesn't reappear like that, it should at least take a minute, right?]"

"[Couldn't it just be that its Skill Concealment is weak?]"

"[I think the person above makes sense]"

"[When my Extreme Pull Iron Bull first practiced, its presence only disappeared for 2 seconds]"

"[Online sincere teaching of Skill Concealment, no need for 9998, just for 998! Only 998!]"

"[Owner, don't be fooled, the one above is a scammer!]"

Qiao Sang had an epiphany, yes, what else could these unreasonable phenomena be if not a skill?

Skill Concealment, apart from being used in specific places, is basically not needed day-to-day, so it's no wonder she didn't think of it.

If the Fire-Toothed Dog knew skills like Sandstorm to obscure the field of view and then used Skill Concealment, it would definitely be a powerful move.

Unfortunately, it doesn't know any.

There's really no need for the Fire-Toothed Dog to learn this skill at the moment.

Qiao Sang closed her computer and looked towards the Fire-Toothed Dog.

She hadn't forgotten what she had to do that evening.

"Fire-Toothed Dog, use Flame Tooth as many times as you can."

"Yah."

Although the Fire-Toothed Dog didn't understand the intentions of its Beast Tamer, it obediently nodded its head.

Three minutes later, the Fire-Toothed Dog lay on the ground panting heavily.

Qiao Sang calculated it had unleashed the attack a total of 13 times.

That was more than she had expected.

But this could also be due to just having had an energy meal.

Just as Qiao Sang was about to look into the Beast Taming Codex.

"Yaa~"

The Fire-Toothed Dog called out weakly to Qiao Sang.

Qiao Sang understood immediately and stood up to get two Red Luan Fruits from the refrigerator in the kitchen, juicing them and pouring the juice into a bowl.

After the last six Red Luan Fruits were finished, her mother had bought another six to take home.

But this time, Qiao Sang limited the amount, only letting the Fire-Toothed Dog have one every two days.

One Red Luan Fruit for 700 Alliance Currency every day was really too much to afford.

Today, because the Fire-Toothed Dog had been overworked, Qiao Sang couldn't resist taking out two, considering she now had a substantial amount of 50,000 Alliance Currency on her, it wasn't unreasonable to splurge a little.

Cupping the bowl between its two front paws, the Fire-Toothed Dog drank the juice with relish, letting out a contented bark after finishing.

Seeing the Fire-Toothed Dog become perky again, Qiao Sang couldn't help but stroke its head.

While the Fire-Toothed Dog barked cheerfully, it was actually very tired and soon lay down on the ground and fell asleep.

After covering it with a blanket on the bed, Qiao Sang went to her desk.

Training without a plan isn't efficient, so Qiao Sang decided to write a training plan.

Firstly, get up at 6 a.m. for a morning run to improve physical fitness and speed.

The Fire-Toothed Dog's speed was not up to par, which definitely needed to be a focus of the training; otherwise, the opponent would hit you accurately every time, but you would never be able to hit them. That's just not acceptable.

Apart from speed training, the rest of the time would be dedicated to skill casting.

The Fire-Toothed Dog currently had mastered Bite, Slam, Flame Tooth, and Spark, four skills of which all but Slam were still at the beginner level.

Qiao Sang didn't plan on continuing to train Bite with the Fire-Toothed Dog, as now it had Flame Tooth, a more powerful mid-tier skill, which made Bite seem rather redundant.

Slam was now at an advanced level, over 300 points away from the next stage, proficiency. To reach proficiency before the special recruitment of Shengshui Middle School, it would require about 40 uses of Slam per day.

Training in speed, casting Flame Tooth and Spark, in addition to 40 slams a day, was unquestionably not feasible.

The Fire-Toothed Dog was less than a month old; such intensive training would surely be too much for it.

After pondering, Qiao Sang took a pen and changed the 40 next to Slam to 10.

For the next nine days, besides speeding training, just focusing on advancing Flame Tooth and Spark to an advanced level would be enough.

To endure the bitterest of the bitter is to be the beast above beasts.

Qiao Sang looked at the training plan in her hands and revealed a satisfied smile.

...

...

The following morning.

"Why haven't you gone to school yet?" her mother asked with a stern face.

Qiao Sang checked the time, 7:54 a.m.; she had overslept...

The 6 a.m. morning run plan was dead on arrival...

"Mom, why aren't you out yet?" Qiao Sang asked in return.

She hadn't yet thoroughly considered how to talk to her mother about taking leave from school; if she were a top student, she could simply say she wanted to self-study at home for the last few days and train the Fire-Toothed Dog with no problem.

But the problem was that in her mother's eyes, she was a poor student...

Who would expect a poor student to study properly after leaving school?

Qiao Sang hadn't actually planned to keep it a secret from her mother forever, just until after the special examination at Shengshui Middle School was over.

Usually, her mother left the house earlier than she did, but today there had been an unexpected change.

Miscalculation...

"I have a client who has booked the whole day; I'll be leaving this afternoon. It's still early now. What about you? What are you doing, getting up so late when it's the last few days? School starts at 8:10; what time is it now?" her mother said with dissatisfaction.

"I'm leaving right now!" Qiao Sang guaranteed with a raised hand.

She grabbed the piece of bread on the table and put it in her mouth.

Putting on shoes, picking up the Fire-Toothed Dog, opening the door, closing the door, her movements were swift and uninterrupted.

Outside the door, Qiao Sang sighed deeply.

She had intended to come home for a rest after the morning training session, but now it seemed she would have to spend the day outside.
