So, it turns out that if you had enough energy, this house would be gone.
Qiao Sang suddenly felt mentally exhausted.
Fortunately, she hadn't bought any energy recovery liquids during this period; otherwise, she probably would have declared bankruptcy today.
Qiao Sang said earnestly, "The power of your Meteor Rain is too strong. If you practice it with Shadow Clones, the house will definitely be destroyed. Wait until I find a suitable training ground before you use Shadow Clones to practice this move."
"Ya!"
Ya Bao nodded, wagging its tail and looking at its Beast Tamer with expectant eyes.
What about that energy-recovery drink?
Qiao Sang remained silent for two seconds before saying, "It's all gone. I haven't bought more yet."
"Ya ya..."
Ya Bao froze for a moment, its tail stopping its wagging. It wore an expression of "I understand," then turned around and walked back toward the courtyard with heavy steps to immerse itself in training once again.
Its Beast Tamer really was too poor...
Qiao Sang felt bewildered by Ya Bao's gaze, feeling as though something was slightly off.
"Lulu!"
Seeing Ya Bao leave, Shui Lu-yana turned and looked at Qiao Sang with an expectant face.
Perhaps because of the contract, even though Shui Lu-yana didn't say it explicitly, Qiao Sang understood its meaning.
She thought for a moment and said, "I need to research how to teach you Rain Dance. For now, practice Healing Light."
"Lulu..."
Shui Lu-yana's body stiffened.
Practice Healing Light...
Shui Lu-yana recalled the scenes of casting Healing Light in the past, then looked at Ya Bao practicing Meteor Rain in the courtyard, and its gaze gradually became determined.
It wanted to stay here!
"Lulu!"
Shui Lu-yana gritted its teeth and ran toward the direction where the Meteor Rain was falling.
Startled, Qiao Sang grabbed Shui Lu-yana by the tail with lightning speed and shouted, "What are you doing! Can't you see that the area over there is full of Meteor Rain!"
"Lulu?"
Shui Lu-yana looked confused. Didn't she say to practice Healing Light?
Qiao Sang put it back on the ground and frowned. "What does practicing Healing Light have to do with running into the attack range of Meteor Rain?"
"Lulu?"
Shui Lu-yana looked even more confused.
If it didn't get injured, how could it practice Healing Light?
Qiao Sang remained silent for a long while, her throat feeling a bit dry. "You've been practicing Healing Light on yourself this whole time?"
"Lulu."
Shui Lu-yana nodded.
Qiao Sang's face showed no reaction.
However, her tightly clenched fists revealed her current state of agitation.
Although she had suspected this earlier upon learning that Shui Lu-yana had reached perfection in Healing Light proficiency in only seven months, confirming the fact still left her unable to remain calm.
If Shui Lu-yana hadn't been wild, it would probably have been protected by the League like a treasure, and wouldn't have had to...
Qiao Sang took a deep breath and looked at Shui Lu-yana seriously. "Healing Light doesn't have to be practiced on yourself. Practicing it on others is the right way. Have you ever seen a doctor practice medicine by injuring themselves first to gain experience?"
"You were forced to do it before, but now there's absolutely no need to continue."
"Lulu..."
Shui Lu-yana looked at the human who had just become its Beast Tamer, its eyes showing a clarity fitting for its age for the first time.
Qiao Sang suddenly called out, "Little Treasure Hunter!"
"Xun~"
Little Treasure Hunter Ghost was in the middle of breaking tiles. Hearing the voice, it looked up and appeared before Qiao Sang in the next second.
"Put your hand out," Qiao Sang said.
Little Treasure Hunter Ghost didn't understand why, but it still presented its short claw.
"During this period, you will be the..." Qiao Sang stopped the words she was about to say to Shui Lu-yana.
She stared at Little Treasure Hunter Ghost's chubby claw and paused. "Why aren't you injured?"
She had assumed that after practicing tile-breaking for so long, its claws would definitely be swollen, but there wasn't a single sign of injury.
Qiao Sang quickly realized.
It seemed that after this period of tile-breaking training, Little Treasure Hunter Ghost's skin had become much thicker...
Right, just like they say on the internet: even if you can't learn to break the tiles, your ability to take a hit will improve.
"Xun xun!"
Speaking of this, Little Treasure Hunter Ghost became excited. It quickly performed a few tile-breaking motions in the air with its short claws in front of its Beast Tamer, indicating that it had now reached a peak level of mastery.
Qiao Sang ruthlessly exposed it: "You're still practicing with three tiles, aren't you?"
"Xun."
Little Treasure Hunter Ghost nodded.
"Since you're already this strong, it's time to increase the load," Qiao Sang smiled. "From now on, break six tiles each time."
"Xun..."
The image of six stacked tiles appeared in Little Treasure Hunter Ghost's mind, and its eyes instantly widened.
"It's fine. If it hurts, we have Shui Lu-yana; it will help treat you," Qiao Sang comforted.
"Lulu..."
Shui Lu-yana stared at Qiao Sang for a while, then slightly tilted its head, wearing an expression that said, "I really can't do anything with you."
"Xun..."
Little Treasure Hunter Ghost still wanted to struggle.
At that moment, Qiao Sang said, "The sports meet is starting soon. If you keep breaking only three, we'll probably have no chance at first place."
"Xun!"
Little Treasure Hunter Ghost's fighting spirit was instantly ignited. Mimicking the fighting-type pets in videos, it flexed its short little arms.
A mere six tiles! No problem at all!
"Lulu..."
Watching the interaction between Qiao Sang and Little Treasure Hunter Ghost from the side, Shui Lu-yana unconsciously grinned.
After arranging things for Little Treasure Hunter Ghost and Shui Lu-yana, Qiao Sang returned to her room to do her homework.
Looking at the geography problems before her, unlike usual, she didn't think of the rigid text in the book. Instead, the related terrains appeared in her mind like 3D images, giving her a sense of a god's-eye view.
Qiao Sang scribbled down the answers rapidly.
Once finished, she was stunned herself.
When did she become this skilled? She had only heard the lecture once and hadn't even reviewed, yet she remembered everything so vividly...
Was this the effect of the 20% brain domain or the effect of the feedback?
Qiao Sang was somewhat bewildered, then she thought of the not-so-bright D-rank Beast Tamer who had come to work as a security guard recently to hunt down Shui Lu-yana.
It seemed her improved memory had nothing to do with the 20% brain domain...
While Qiao Sang was pondering, her phone suddenly vibrated.
It was a message.
Qiao Sang glanced at it; it was from the Beast Battle Club.
Lately, every evening the Beast Battle Club would send a text notification saying someone had requested a sparring partner. However, she had to train after class and rush her homework upon returning, leaving her exhausted every day, so she had refused.
Qiao Sang stared at the text for two seconds. Thinking of something, she began to type
【I'll be there in an hour.】
Hongying Beast Battle Club.
Qiao Sang stared at the fair-skinned woman with long curly yellow hair before her and paused. "Where is the previous receptionist?"
The woman smiled. "She suddenly struck it rich a while ago and resigned."
A dead memory suddenly attacked.
Qiao Sang asked hesitantly, "Was it 200,000?"
The woman was surprised. "How did you know?"
Qiao Sang: "..."
Of course she knew. Because if she had been two minutes faster back then, that 200,000 would have been hers. It was practically an unforgettable life event...
Qiao Sang arrived at the designated training area and pushed the door open.
As soon as she entered, she saw familiar people and pets.
"Big shot! You're here!"
"Keguan..."
