Training already?
Qiao Sang's face lit up with a smile. Although Lubao had evolved into a cold and aloof creature, she was still quite easy to trick.
"Once Yabao finishes this round of teor Rain training, we’ll continue with the previous routine." Qiao Sang said.
The Stone Fragnt Barrage had shown great results, so it was still effective to continue this training at the current stage.
"Lu Lu!"
Lubao shook her head. She would train on her own; she didn’t need Yabao’s help!
Qiao Sang was taken aback. Although Little Treasure could also help with Stone Fragnt Barrage training, if Lubao kept avoiding Yabao, it would definitely affect the team's cohesion over ti.
That just won’t do…
Qiao Sang pondered for a mont, then crouched down and asked, "Do you want to beco stronger than Yabao?"
Nearby, Yabao, who was practicing teor Rain, perked up his ears.
"Lu."
Lubao flicked her tail and lifted her head, indicating that surpassing Yabao was only a matter of ti.
"Xun..."
Little Treasure glanced at Lubao, who was roughly his own size, then at the mighty figure of Yabao and shook his head quietly.
With that fra? Compete with Yabao…
"Yap."
Yabao looked at Little Treasure with approval, who clearly had a good eye.
Qiao Sang rcilessly pointed out the reality: "To be honest, surpassing Yabao will be very difficult."
"Yap!"
Yabao, hearing this, proudly puffed out his chest and released an energy ball larger than before.
If Qiao Sang checked the Beast Codex now, she’d find that Yabao’s teor Rain skill level had just increased by two points.
"Lu!"
Lubao suddenly felt a bit offended, feeling her own beast master was seriously lacking judgnt!
"But."
Qiao Sang continued, "Your attribute does counter Yabao’s, so if you work hard, it’s not impossible to surpass him."
"Lu!"
Lubao’s eyes brightened, her tail wagging as she reconsidered. Her beast master’s judgnt was actually pretty good!
"But."
Qiao Sang changed the tone, "As things stand now, that’s still a bit difficult. You don’t even fully understand Yabao’s current strength, so how can you expect to surpass him? Don’t forget how you lost every ti you fought Yabao in the past."
"Lu..." Lubao froze.
"As the saying goes, Know your enemy, know yourself, and you will never be defeated." Qiao Sang explained.
"Lu?"
The unschooled Lubao looked confused.
"It ans you need to understand Yabao to defeat him." Qiao Sang clarified.
"If you don’t train with Yabao, you won’t know his strength, nor will you know how much you need to improve to surpass him."
"Lu..." Lubao seed thoughtful.
Seeing it was the right ti, Qiao Sang finally stated her true purpose: "So, you need to spend more ti with Yabao. Training together would be ideal."
To her, Lubao viewing Yabao as a rival wasn’t necessarily a bad thing.
Firstly, Yabao was strong and disciplined. If Lubao aid to match Yabao, her training motivation wouldn’t be a concern.
Of course, surpassing Yabao seed nearly impossible right now. Attribute advantages only provided a chance for victory, not an assured one.
Plus, Yabao wasn’t just a fire type; he had psychic powers too.
Most importantly, Yabao had perfected his Shadow Clone skill. In terms of skill proficiency, Lubao could never keep up.
Once she understood Yabao's capabilities, Lubao would likely decide to increase her training regin.
Secondly, while Yabao and Lubao were rivals, spending ti together could deepen their bond.
After all, Lubao had developed a fondness for Yabao not long ago. As for the heartbreak… that was a bit of a mystery, as Yabao hadn’t really done anything wrong.
Over ti, that would probably be forgotten, so it wasn’t much of an issue.
The more Qiao Sang thought, the more she felt her reasoning was sound.
"Lu..."
Lubao struggled internally, torn between not wanting to train with Yabao and feeling that her beast master's words made sense.
She looked over at Yaobao, only to find Yabao looking back with a determined gaze.
"Yap!"
Yabao's eyes were full of defiance and fighting spirit.
He had heard what his beast master said earlier, this guy might surpass him? That was impossible! Even with all-day training and full access to observe, she would never beat him!
"Lu Lu!"
Lubao recognized Yabao’s unspoken ssage in his gaze and responded with her own fighting spirit.
Under Yabao's challenging stare, Lubao finally agreed to train with him.
Her beast master was right; to beat Yabao, she had to fully understand its strength!
Five minutes later, as a rain of stones flew down, Lubao began to fully realize Yabao’s strength.
In previous Stone Fragnt Barrage, Yabao would train his teor Rain with his clones while controlling the stones with his main body.
The energy split limited the number of stones he could control.
But this ti, Yabao didn’t use clones for teor Rain. Instead, he concentrated all his energy on telekinesis.
The number of stones instantly multiplied several tis over.
"Lu!"
Lubao scrambled to dodge the stones.
Barely dodging one, several more ca flying, forcing her to grit her teeth and push past her usual limits.
Potential often erges under pressure.
However, on land, Lubao couldn't fully use her strengths. Even as she surpassed het usual speed, several stones still hit her.
"Use Gentle Snow!" Qiao Sang called out.
"Lu!"
Lubao imdiately puckered her lips and blew out white frost while dodging the stones.
The surrounding stones instantly froze and dropped to the ground.
Qiao Sang nodded in satisfaction. Gentle Snow was an entry-level ice skill, with minimal energy requirents.
If Lubao could build endurance and refine Gentle Snow’s proficiency at the sa ti, it would greatly improve her training efficiency.

That night.
At bedti.
Yabao would close his eyes, then open them, pout, close them again, and then reopen them.
"Yap!"
Finally, he couldn’t hold back and turned to Qiao Sang, who was scrolling on her phone, and whined.
Did she really think that Lubao could surpass him one day?
She’d forgotten how sensitive Yabao’s hearing was, so he must have overheard everything from the afternoon. No wonder he had controlled even more stones in training today… Qiao Sang put down her phone and looked at Yabao, speaking seriously:
"I can’t say for sure what will happen in the future, but the only reason I said that was to motivate Lubao. In my mind, no beast weaker than you could ever catch up to you."
"Xun."
Little Treasure, learning to use a computer, nodded in agreent.
"Yap~"
Yabao imdiately perked up, satisfied, and closed his eyes.
Within minutes, he was sound asleep, smiling blissfully as if dreaming a pleasant dream.
