Qiao Sang returned to her room, opened her computer, and began drafting the next month's training plan.

Setting the goal to become the national champion of the high school division in the National Campus Beast Mastering League, her current training schedule was far from enough.

Her opponents would be the top high school team members from across the country, with much more practical experience than her.

A pet beast’s battle strength depends on its foundational qualities and skill proficiency.

With her cheat ability, however, she didn’t need to worry too much about skill proficiency.

Frankly, the cheat ability significantly shortens the gap between her and experienced beast tamers.

That was why Qiao Sang had the confidence to aim for the national championship.

Still, the national stage is huge, and who knows if a genius might appear?

To be cautious, she needed to revise her training plan.

The first one that came to mind was Yabao.

Yabao was undoubtedly the strongest attacker among her three pet beasts and had the best foundational qualities.

At Shengshui High, he stood out, but Qiao Sang wasn't so sure on a national level.

After all, Shengshui High hadn’t even won the regional tournament, let alone the provincial title.

“Yabao’s skills will need selective training.”

Qiao Sang typed away at the computer.

With limited time and Yabao's stamina, she would have to be selective with skill training. Meteor Rain, his highest-attack skill, was essential to master.

Once Flaming Charge reached its ultimate form, they could start training it.

Yabao had quickly mastered skills like Ember and Fire Fang, thanks to Shadow Clone, which played a crucial role.

However, Meteor Rain was different from Ember and Fire Fang. Meteor Rain was an advanced skill that consumed energy like an old car guzzling gas. It could drain Yabao in no time.

And adding Shadow Clone would make it even more exhausting, he’d likely wear out within minutes.

Lubao’s Healing Light could only restore injuries, not energy levels, so it seemed they’d need to stock up on energy recovery potions.

Thinking this, Qiao Sang checked her balance on her phone.

Good, she could still afford it.

She put down her phone and continued drafting the training plan.

She’d also need a new training location.

If Yabao only trained Meteor Rain in his original form, the yard would do, but using Shadow Clone would likely destroy the house.

As for Little Treasure, his training focus would remain on evolution for now.

With his current level of Hypnosis, he should be able to evolve before the sports festival.

The specifics could wait until after evolution.

And then there was Lubao.

When Qiao Sang thought of her, one word came to mind, tragic.

For a seven-month-old to have learned so many skills, her potential must be impressive.

Impressive as she was, though, reaching perfection in an advanced skill like Healing Light without the cheat’s help was exceptional.

Seven months to perfect an advanced skill isn’t the same as seven years. Anyone could guess she’d been forced to use this skill daily since young, and Healing Light is typically only used when injured.

Just thinking about it made Qiao Sang realize how rough her life had been.

Yet despite all this hardship, she still had to train in the Path of Ruthlessness.

With a sigh, Qiao Sang resumed typing.

Tragic or not, training was still necessary.

Since Lubao had already perfected Healing Light, she could work toward reaching the ultimate form before evolving.

As for foundational training, she’d need to work on stamina, body strength, speed, and explosive power.

As for evolution, she had checked Lubao's stat points earlier this morning; her level increased by 3 points daily. At that rate, even without manual upgrades, she’d evolve in 13 days.

She should make sure she experiences heartbreak before then.

Qiao Sang bolded the number 13 on the screen.

“Lu lu.”

Just as she was bolding the font, Lubao’s voice startled her from nearby.

Qiao Sang jumped, turning to find Lubao staring at the screen, which made her hands shake a bit.

“Can you… read?” She asked, her voice trembling.

“Lu lu.”

Lubao shook her head.

That’s a relief, Qiao Sang thought with a sigh of relief.

“Did you need something?”

“Lu lu!”

Lubao pointed toward the yard, an excited look on her face.

Yabao’s training looked cool, and she wanted to be just like him!

Qiao Sang chuckled.

“Yanak is practicing Flaming Charge. Didn’t you already learn Water Stream Jet?”

“Lu lu.”

Lubao shook her head, then raised her head and sprayed a small burst of water, which scattered down like a sprinkler.

Qiao Sang was stunned, her voice suddenly rising. “You mean Yabao is practicing Mteoer Rain?!”

“Lu lu.”

Lubao nodded.

Without a word, Qiao Sang leapt up and dashed toward the yard.

When she arrived, she saw that Yabao was only practicing Meteor Rain in his original form. Qiao Sang let out a long sigh of relief.

She suddenly felt as if she’d narrowly avoided a catastrophe.

Thank goodness, her money was safe.

Bang! Bang! Bang!

Boom!

In the yard, explosions and crashing sounds continued.

Yabao was happily training Meteor Rain, firing energy balls one after another with ease.

Meanwhile, Little Treasure struck tiles with determination, showing a faint air of a fighting-type beast.

Qiao Sang looked on with satisfaction.

“Lu lu?”

At some point, Lubao had followed her out and was standing there, looking puzzled.

In high spirits, Qiao Sang said, “Nothing, just watching Yabao practice Meteor Rain.”

“Lu lu!”

Lubao turned to Yabao, watching him use Meteor Rain with an excited expression as she pointed with her paw.

She wanted to do the same thing!

Ah, love is blind, thought Qiao Sang.

When Yabao bombarded you with Meteor Rain back then, you didn’t look like this.

After a moment, she said, “We’ll practice Rain Prayer instead. One throws fire, the other brings rain, it’ll be similar.”

Lubao needed to focus on Healing Light and foundational training for now, and she could study Rain Prayer after she evolved into a mid-level pet beast.

With her trait, Melting Water, her speed would double in the rain, so mastering Rain Prayer would make her even stronger.

“Lu lu!”

Lubao's eyes sparkled.

“Yap!”

Just then, Yabao, seeing that his tamer had stopped the training, trotted over, tail wagging.

Lubao immediately grew shy.

“What made you start practicing Meteor Rain?” Qiao Sang asked Yabao with a smile.

“Yap!”

Yabao yipped happily, indicating that he’d just mastered the ultimate form of Flaming Charge.

“So fast!”

Qiao Sang was amazed and was about to ask Yabao to demonstrate when he wagged his tail and barked again.

“Yap!”

Did they have any more energy drinks? He wanted to drink some and train even harder!

Qiao Sang laughed, “You’re really a training fanatic. If your energy was high enough, you wouldn’t have thought about using Shadow Clone with Meteor Rain just now, would you?”

“Yap!”

Yabao nodded excitedly.

His tamer was so smart, she knew!

Qiao Sang fell silent.
