Beast Taming: I have unique beast-collecting skills

Tan Xiao felt a surge of energy after being enveloped in light. Although his body was still tired, his mind became extremely clear. He couldn't help but look at the exceptionally young man and beast with a complex expression.

New Moon Prayer, a super-level skill.

She could barely understand the strong genetic skills, but this Phantom Moon Fox also possessed psychic abilities like teleportation and teleportation, and its proficiency in both was ridiculously high.

How many skill stones would I need to use?

In addition to teaching skills, skill stones can also increase proficiency by using skill stones refined from other pets after the skill has been learned.

Don't say it's purely from training.

If skill proficiency could truly be improved so quickly through training alone, there wouldn't be a situation where those from wealthier backgrounds grow stronger and faster.

For example, Dali, selecting and nurturing her in advance is one aspect, and being able to reach her current level within a little over a month after forming a contract with her, requires countless resources.

They can contract with rare and highly talented Phantom Moon Foxes, and are willing to spend money to enhance their strength, but they're not from their circle...

Or is someone hiding a promising young talent who wants to make a name for themselves in the next school team selection?

Thinking of this, Tan Xiao couldn't help but look at Lin Su, who had stood up.

No... Based on looks alone, she couldn't possibly have remained unknown to this extent if she had ever appeared in formal social settings.

Tan Xiao sat there brainstorming, while Liu He and the other three, who had separated from her that morning, were also discussing.

"Why are you back?"

"I'm taking a number and queuing up for the team battle. They said I'm not allowed to queue at two different spots at the same time."

"Do you think Tan Xiao might regret it now?" the boy said, sipping water. "This is just a fun competition, with even a quiz. How difficult could it be tonight?"

Moreover, the competition format has changed, so even if she finds a fairy-type partner, it won't be of much help.

"The reason why there are so many fun races on the western route is because people like us who come here to have fun all choose this side." Liu He glanced at him speechlessly:

"This kind of competition is about starting from easy and gradually increasing in difficulty. You can guess the difference between the east and west routes just by looking at the numbers of the checkpoints."

"I was just saying!"

Ruan Xuyang raised his hand and threw the mineral water bottle at the trash can. After hitting it accurately, it attracted a lot of attention. He generously smiled at the onlookers.

"Peacock..." Liu He turned his face away: "Do you remember that girl from this morning?"

"She is beautiful, but I don't know everyone..." Ruan Xuyang's expression was strange. "If she wasn't raised in the main family, I wouldn't have any contact with people more than three years younger than her, okay?"

It's as if he's some kind of social butterfly. Is it his problem that the aunties like to gossip with him? Knowing so much must be a real problem for him too!

Seeing Liu He still frowning with a look of disgust, Ruan Xuyang sighed, "He might not even be from our circle. Maybe he just got lucky and contracted a fairy?"

"I think so too. It must have been a pure coincidence that he just happened to receive this task from Tan Xiao," another person chimed in.

Coming to Nanjiang City was a random choice for them, and participating in the competition was something Dali insisted on after unexpectedly hearing about the prize. Tan Xiao's two attempts to find teammates were also randomly assigned tasks.

With so many coincidences, how difficult would it be to deliberately seek them out? Liuhe is just clever and prone to overthinking.

"Yeah, you could tell she didn't seem inclined to come over this morning," the last person concluded. "Or maybe she's not from the central region, otherwise she would have recognized us by Xu Yang's face."

Ruan Xuyang nodded confidently.

That's right, he's that popular!

Liu He couldn't help but sigh.

He was too normal; he simply couldn't keep up with the three people's bizarre thought processes.

What are they even imagining? He was just curious about the personality of someone like the rare, human-hating fairy-type Phantom Moon Fox, and wanted to find a reference point. He only said one sentence the whole time, okay?

-----------------

The human samples that the Phantom Moon Fox specifically preferred were now standing on the battlefield.

Lin Su looked at the bird-like pet opposite her, which was about the same size as Ah Li, with soft brown feathers and a cream-colored belly, and recalled its information in her mind.

Kali Bird, a beginner-level flying pet, is gentle and reasonably priced. It is one of the most popular pets for new beast tamers in Wanping area to contract. If you go out to hail a flying bird, it is estimated that five out of ten flying pets are its evolved form.

However, their combat strength is relatively average; Ahri should be able to handle it on her own.

As the staff blew the whistle to announce the start of the competition, Ahri stood still and called out to the Kali bird, which was about to take flight:

"magical!"

The dreamy pink musical notes, accompanied by fairy energy, spread out like ripples, and the sonic attack accurately hit the Kali bird that had just taken off from the ground.

My brain felt like it was being slashed by a sharp knife.

"Kali!!"

The Kali bird paused in its wing flapping motion and cried out in pain.

"The wind is picking up!" the staff immediately issued the command.

Lin Su calmly observed the scene.

Rise Wind, a basic Flying-type skill, uses wings to create a strong wind to attack the opponent.

Regardless of the power of the wind generated by the Kali bird's small wings, it would be unable to continue flying.

Ahri certainly didn't disappoint her beast tamer. The light blue psychic energy wave firmly fixed the Kali bird in place the moment it paused its first movement.

"Cali?"

The Kali bird suddenly found itself out of control and unable to move its wings. It was then violently slammed to the ground.

"Kali!!!"

The Kali bird let out another scream and fainted uncontrollably.

Just as Ali was about to throw itself a couple more times to be on the safe side, it heard the staff member who was battling it urgently call for a stop:

"It's okay! It's okay!"

The little fox hesitated for a moment, then decided to fall again.

The Kali bird's weak and helpless body was once again mercilessly flung to the ground with a "bang" amidst the flying dust.

The staff member picked up their pet animal that had fallen to their feet and said with some heartache:

"Come check in!"

You really can't judge a pet by its appearance. It looks so cute, but it's actually incredibly ferocious.

"Huanhuan?"

The ferocious Ahri floated back into her beast tamer's arms, tilted her head, and let out a cute meow.

"You did the right thing."

Lin Su carried it towards the check-in counter, praising it as she said, "You have to be careful in battle. As long as you have enough energy, you can go for a few more hits. Maybe your opponent was just faking it when they fainted?"

"Huanhuan".

Ahri nodded to show he understood, his fluffy tail swaying up and down in the air.

Staff member: "..."

He smiled calmly, finished the check-in process, and looked at the girl's back as she stood under the tree, inwardly shouting:

Who installed it? Who?!

His little Kaka was crying so pitifully! How could he bear to say something like that with a smile?!

Seeing his mournful expression, his colleague, who was acting as the referee, chuckled and said, "I told you, competitive matches aren't a pleasant job."

"That's because you didn't announce the results in time!" the staff member said angrily. "We agreed to take turns, so you're up next time!"

My colleague started to change the subject:

"Hey, look! Why aren't they leaving yet? Have they discovered something?"
