Why isn't what I command considered a beast?

The core of lightning storms lies in energy compression and energy control.

Most pets that have learned Lightning Storm also know the skill Lightning Radiation. Therefore, it can be inferred that Lightning Radiation is likely a prerequisite skill for Lightning Storm.

[Lightning Radiation, a mid-level lightning-based skill...]

[A typical high-level lightning-type pet consumes about one-third of its energy when using Lightning Storm. If we take the minimum peak energy of a high-level pet (10000) as a benchmark, then Lightning Storm consumes approximately 3400 energy per use. Therefore, it can be inferred that if Golden Ingot wants to learn Lightning Storm at the intermediate level, its peak energy must exceed 3500.]

【…】

clap clap.

Mingxi's fingers flew across the keyboard as she quickly jotted down her thoughts and ideas on her personal terminal's memo app.

After more than three hours, the direction of Jin Yuanbao's training was finally determined.

Instead of disturbing Jin Yuanbao's training, she took out a book from her schoolbag and began to read it carefully.

Training is important, but cultural knowledge must not be neglected.

Students' primary task is still to study.

Until the countdown on the green light sign above Jin Yuanbao's head turned 11:59:59.

Guangguang spoke up to remind her.

Mingxi then put down her book and took Jin Yuanbao into testing room number 1.

This has become a habit; every time Jin Yuanbao comes out of the static simulation chamber, it is tested again.

This will allow Mingxi to understand the training results.

Unbeknownst to her, she had already been in a contract with the gold ingot for ten days.

Several days ago, its energy peak had already successfully exceeded 3500.

Golden Feather Whirlwind and Thunderbird are also about to reach the next proficiency level.

“Jin Yuanbao, I’ve done some research. To learn Lightning Storm, your peak energy level must first reach 3500, which you’ve already achieved. The next step is to continue accumulating energy. Secondly, you also need to learn the Lightning Radiation skill.”

"Lei Lei".

Jin Yuanbao knew that Mingxi had been helping it research and learn how to deal with lightning storms.

Although their beast tamer was poor, he was still quite... pragmatic.

"Later, we'll conduct targeted pet battles. We might encounter those pets in tomorrow's competition, so we need to familiarize ourselves with them beforehand."

"Then we'll learn about lightning radiation."

Lightning Radiation is much easier to learn than Lightning Storm, and its release principle is somewhat similar to the skill Dispel Light.

Jin Yuanbao can even learn the Demon-type Light Repeller, so he'll definitely master Lightning Radiation with ease.

"is that OK?"

Mingxi earnestly asked Jin Yuanbao for his opinion.

"Thunder." Okay.

Jin Yuanbao rarely objected to her arrangements, and this time was no exception.

In some ways, it's really easy to get along with.

……

The next day was another pleasant day.

Shao Dingding brought a sumptuous breakfast to Mingxi, including portions for Jin Yuanbao and Ruan Qinghe.

“These are all homemade. Grandma Ruan, Xiao Xi, and Jin Yuanbao, please try them.”

Grandma Ruan Qinghe and her grandson stared in astonishment at the wide variety of breakfast options before them.

From Chinese-style xiaolongbao to Western-style sandwiches, from fried dough sticks and flatbread to creamy bacon pasta, everything is on the table.

"Why are you doing so much? You must be exhausted."

"Grandma Ruan, I'm not tired at all. Doing these things is actually very simple. Most of them were prepared in advance last night."

"That's too much."

Mingxi wasn't as polite as her grandmother; she had already picked up a small steamed bun and swallowed it in one gulp.

"Sister Dingding, this is so delicious! You're amazing!"

Mingxi has no dietary restrictions and is not picky about food.

She's the type of person who'll eat anything given to her.

But who doesn't love good food?

"Haha, actually my childhood dream was to be a chef. When my mom wasn't home, I was in charge of cooking."

Mingxi understood her unspoken meaning, "And now? Has your dream changed?"

Shao Dingding nodded, looked at her, and said earnestly, "My current dream is to become an excellent trainer."

What she didn't say was that her goal was to become Mingxi's exclusive trainer.

"A breeder? That suits you well." Denggra is indeed one of the top choices for a breeder's pet.

It seems that Shao Dingding already had a clear plan for her future career when she was in the contract with Dengla.

After happily enjoying breakfast, Mingxi said goodbye to her grandmother and, accompanied by Shao Dingding, headed to the cultural center.

The third round of the competition will still use the random matching mode.

This time, Mingxi was matched with another Beastmaster who had an intermediate-level pet.

In fact, raising pet animals is not easy.

Ordinary beast tamers, specifically those without much background or family wealth, would normally need at least one to two years to raise a novice beast to an intermediate level.

Moreover, some Beast Tamers can only contract unhatched pet eggs because their Soul Keys are only 1-star in quality.

Hatching pet eggs also takes time.

Therefore, most beast tamers in the 15 or 6 age group only have one novice pet.

According to information Shao Bihua obtained from her colleagues, only 54 out of all the participants in the Haizhou City division of this competition possessed intermediate-level pets.

They only account for 13% of the total population.

From this perspective, Mingxi encountered intermediate-level pets in two out of the three matches, so her luck was definitely not good.

But Mingxi accepted it well.

After all, defeating a mid-level pet grants ten times the time of the Time Realm reward compared to defeating a beginner pet.

If it weren't for the worry that the late emperor would pass away before completing his great undertaking, she would have loved to encounter a high-level pet beast.

Some things are better left unsaid, because according to Murphy's Law, if you worry about something happening, it's more likely to happen.

In the final round of the regional elimination tournament, Mingxi's opponent was an E-rank Beastmaster who possessed a high-level pet.

"That number 69 actually ran into number 402, their luck is unbelievable."

"Thunderbird number 69 is quite powerful. It can easily sweep other intermediate-level pets. In the last match, it was a crushing victory against Black Acacia. I thought she would definitely advance from the regional competition, but I didn't expect to run into number 402."

"Hmph! It's finally number 69's turn to suffer, isn't it? Serves her right! Let her be arrogant!"
