Chapter 21: Chapter 18 Proficiency
Elental advantages and disadvantages are common knowledge, and Chen Tongtong certainly knew that.
However, he had indeed never fought against a fire attribute beast before; there were only two daredevils in the entire school who had chosen a fire attribute beast as their first contracted pet beast.
Both of these daredevils were in their second year of high school, and none were in his grade.
Is elental suppression really that strong? Chen Tongtong felt dispirited.
He was so preoccupied that he didn't even notice when the other person left after he had paid them, until Jiang Liu patted him on the shoulder.
"Why didn't you add her contact before transferring the money? That way, you could also have given
her contact details."
Chen Tongtong: "... Scram!"
...
After Qiao Sang had her third duel, her mother's phone call ca.
"Why aren't you ho yet?"
Qiao Sang looked at the ti, 18:17.
The dismissal ti of Wencheng Middle School was 17:00 p.m., and it was not far from ho; a fifteen-minute bus ride would suffice. Even if she dawdled, she would be ho by 17:30 p.m. at the latest.
"I went to train with Fire-Toothed Dog," Qiao Sang replied.
There was a mont of silence on the other end, then she said, "Co ho early, the food is getting cold."
"I know."
After hanging up the phone, Qiao Sang tore off the paper stuck on her schoolbag.
She was very unsatisfied with the day's results; there was only so much ti during the after-school rush, and by the ti she finished her three battles, there were barely any students left.
The efficiency was too slow.
Qiao Sang felt that waiting around at soone else's school wasn't a good thod either.
She thought for a mont, then accessed the Beast Taming Codex in her mind.

[Points 55]
All the skill values had increased sowhat, but why weren't the points in multiples of three? Could it be that defeating different pet beasts yielded different points?
She had fought three battles today—involving a chubby pigeon, Cotton Caterpillar, and White Sand Fox—all of which were low-level beasts. The only difference was that aside from the Cotton Caterpillar, which was taken out in one hit, the others involved several rounds of combat.
Was it the Cotton Caterpillar that brought down the points?
Qiao Sang stared at the data in front of her and suddenly thought of sothing.
"Fire-Toothed Dog, use Fla Tooth," Qiao Sang suddenly said.
"Tooth."
Although Fire-Toothed Dog did not understand Qiao Sang's intention, it obediently used Fla Tooth, and because there was no target, the skill quickly retracted.
Qiao Sang checked the Beast Taming Codex again.

[Points 55]
The value after Fla Tooth had increased!
Does that not an one can train and increase the skill proficiency even without a target?
She had been thinking about it all wrong; skill proficiency is gained through practice and doesn't necessarily require an attack target to increase.
However, if releasing a skill once could increase its proficiency, then wouldn't everyone's pet beast be able to achieve a masterful level of skill?
Qiao Sang didn't know about other people's skill proficiency, but it seed hers indeed increased with a single release.
To verify her idea, Qiao Sang had Fire-Toothed Dog release Fla Tooth once more.
After Fire-Toothed Dog released it, indeed, the value of Fla Tooth went from 6 to 7.
Qiao Sang fell silent for a mont and then decided to exit the Beast Taming Codex and have the Fire-Toothed Dog release Fla Tooth 100 tis on the spot to see what would happen.
The Fire-Toothed Dog nodded, seeming to indicate, "Leave it to ."
But reality is cruel, after the Fire-Toothed Dog continuously released the Fla Tooth for the fourth ti, it wilted... it beca listless.
The value of the Fla Tooth halted at 10.
Releasing a skill also requires energy and physical strength, and it was obvious that the current Fire-Toothed Dog could only use Fla Tooth a few tis.
The Fire-Toothed Dog had already fought in three consecutive battles, consuming a considerable amount of its stamina and energy.
Qiao Sang estimated that if it was in a fully energized state, it should have no problem continuously using Fla Tooth around 10 tis.
So, if it released Fla Tooth 10 tis in the morning and 10 tis in the evening, wouldn't it master the skill in just 5 days?!
Could a Pet Beast's skill really be mastered from beginner to expert that quickly?
Qiao Sang reviewed her limited knowledge of beast taming.
No.
Even a low-level skill requires nearly a month of daily practice to go from beginner to expert. The next stage after expert is minor achievent, which increases the power by several tis and takes at least half a year.
Fla Tooth is a mid-level skill. Just to go from beginner to expert would take about 5 to 7 months.
But the Fire-Toothed Dog could do it in 5 days.
This was obviously the power of the Golden Finger!
With this Golden Finger, how could she fear not ranking first in the special recruitnt of Shengshui Middle School? By then, she could have all the skills trained to an expert level, what could anyone do to compete against her!
And when that ti ca...
"Yah!"
The bark of the Fire-Toothed Dog pulled Qiao Sang back from her daydream.
Qiao Sang ca back to her senses to find so people around her looking over with strange expressions. She subconsciously adjusted her facial expression.
The corners of her mouth dropped as her muscles twitched slightly, and she felt a bit of soreness.
Qiao Sang then realized that she had actually smiled until her face was numb...
"Cough, let's go ho," Qiao Sang said as she picked up the Fire-Toothed Dog.
"Yah!"
The Fire-Toothed Dog pointed its tiny claws toward a barbecue stall in the distance.
Qiao Sang glanced over and felt hungry too. Otherwise, how could she have slled the cumin scent from so far away?
"No, we already have food ready at ho," Qiao Sang turned her head away, resisting the temptation.
"Yah~" The Fire-Toothed Dog looked up at Qiao Sang with its moist eyes.
The little guy actually knew how to act coquettishly...
"You can only have two skewers," Qiao Sang compromised.
The Fire-Toothed Dog nodded happily.
Approaching the barbecue stand.
"You haven't gone ho yet, student?" the auntie manning the barbecue stand recognized Qiao Sang.
"Yeah," Qiao Sang replied, taking in the scent of the barbecue, "Auntie, give
20 lamb skewers."
In the end, Qiao Sang ate 5 skewers, and the Fire-Toothed Dog ate 15.
On the way back, Qiao Sang spoke earnestly, "You must pretend that you're not full during dinner and finish the al, understand?"
"Yah."
The Fire-Toothed Dog responded affirmatively and then belched.
Qiao Sang: "..."
Qiao Sang consoled herself, thinking that it would take over half an hour to get ho by bus from the nearest bus stop to Beast Taming High School number 37, and by then it should be fully digested...
Pet Beasts can eat human food normally, but to develop properly and gain the right nutrition, they must consu specially prepared food containing energy.
The food at ho for the Pet Beasts was specially made by her mother and required quite a bit of effort. If the Fire-Toothed Dog ended up too full from the lamb skewers to eat the food her mother made...
Qiao Sang shook her head, not daring to think further.
Taking the subway from here to ho would just take about ten minutes, but for the sake of the Fire-Toothed Dog, Qiao Sang chose the bus instead.
On bus number 66, probably because it was completely spent and had eaten its fill, the Fire-Toothed Dog was unusually quiet, lying by the window looking at the scenery outside.
