Chapter 210

Chapter 210: Chapter 200 Upgraded Version Chapter 210 -200 Upgraded Version “Summoning a doppelganger takes time, and opponents might only attack in a matter of seconds. By the time you’ve managed to conjure the doppelganger and then release the Flame Vortex and Telekinesis, let’s not talk about whether it’s feasible or not, objectively speaking, you probably won’t have enough time to deploy this airborne version of the Counter-

Protective Barrier before their attack hits,” Zheng Baolong said with a silly grin, yet he was making a serious point.

Qiao Sang fell into deep thought. Initially, when she conceived the idea of this airborne version, she only considered its defensive capabilities and protecting Yaobao’s fur, completely overlooking other issues.

But Zheng Baolong’s words were a timely reminder for her.

It wouldn’t be a big deal to simply use the airborne version of the Counter-Protective Barrier, but when it comes to practicality in combat matches, there were significant issues.

First, there were the timing issues between attack and defense, as Zheng Baolong mentioned.

The opponent only needs to gather energy and launch an attack, whereas on her end, she must ensure that Yaobao is in the air, and a doppelganger is present nearby, to be able to defend during the opponent’s attack window.

Second, there’s the excessive energy consumption.

The opponent might only spray a jet of water, but Yaobao would have to create a doppelganger, and use the Flame Vortex and Telekinesis at the same time, consuming several times more energy than the opponent. It was completely disproportionate.

There’s also the fact that the doppelganger is a huge vulnerability.

If during a combat match the doppelganger isn’t near the main body and protected by the Counter-Protective Barrier, the first time she uses this move the opponent might not have the experience to come up with a countermeasure quickly.

But after that, any opponent who has seen her use the airborne Counter-Protective Barrier in a match would know that attacking the doppelganger renders the move useless.

In short, it’s flashy but impractical, with many shortcomings and weak combat effectiveness.

It had to be said, Zheng Baolong’s advice was very timely.

If Yaobao had managed to master this move only to discover these many problems during a match, it would be frustrating for an entire day.

With this in mind, Qiao Sang said with a serious face, “Teacher, I know what to do now.”

“I’m just offering some small advice,” Zheng Guoping chuckled. “Your idea is great, it’s just that the difficulty of practicing this move is too great. This move is good to practice on the ground, and at your current age, you shouldn’t be thinking about overly complex moves.”

Of course, that was just his way of trying to get Qiao Sang to give up practicing the airborne version of the Counter-Protective Barrier.

If anyone other than Qiao Sang had come up with this idea, he would have scolded them outright.

Combining two skills smoothly into one takes a long time of training.

You first have to consider whether the Pet Beast has the ability to use both skills at the same time, and whether using both skills simultaneously will cause conflict in the energy within the body.

The airborne Counter-Protective Barrier that Qiao Sang came up with involves not just two skills operating at once.

Doppelganger, Flame Vortex, Telekinesis.

All three!

Even some Professional Beast Tamers wouldn’t be able to do that!

However, since it was Qiao Sang who thought of this, the first thing that came to Zheng Guoping’s mind was: The thought process of a genius is indeed different from us ordinary people; at such a young age, she’s already considering skill combinations, her future is boundless...

“I understand, but I still think it’s better to use this move in the air,” Qiao Sang said, looking in Yaobao’s direction.

Zheng Guoping was stunned for a moment, “Didn’t you just say you know what to do?”

Qiao Sang nodded and said, “It’s good that you reminded me earlier, teacher. The disadvantage of using a doppelganger to control the main body’s spinning is too great, so I’ve decided to let Yaobao spin in the air on its own when the time comes.”

Zheng Guoping: “???”

What the heck? Qiao Sang’s words left Zheng Guoping completely confused!

When had he ever said that using a doppelganger to control the main body’s spinning was a big disadvantage? He had never said that at all!

“I just think that if the opponent initiates an attack, then using the airborne Counter-Protective Barrier might be too late,” Zheng Guoping had to repeat his earlier deterrent advice.

Of course, this was just an excuse to get Qiao Sang to give up; the real reason was that he thought this move was impossible to master.

“I know,” Qiao Sang said earnestly. “That’s why I’ve omitted the step with the doppelganger. As long as we don’t use the doppelganger and let Yaobao spin in the air using the Flame Vortex, there will be plenty of time for defense.”

Zheng Guoping paused, it seemed to make sense...

But that was just his excuse!

Was he supposed to say directly: Don’t bother practicing this move, you will invest time and effort and still never be able to master it!

Even without the doppelganger, it was still a combination of Telekinesis and Flame Vortex!

“If you want to use two skills simultaneously, I’m afraid the proficiency can’t be too low,” Zheng Guoping said tactfully.

Undoubtedly, to coordinate and combine two skills, proficiency is the most important factor.

Only when proficiency is sufficient can the completion of the skill combination be higher.

This is also the headache most professional beast tamers deal with.

Raising proficiency isn’t an overnight process, no matter how many ideas you have, they only exist in theory, and it falls apart when it comes to proficiency.

“I understand, teacher,” Qiao Sang nodded and said, “Next, I will work hard on increasing Yaobao’s telekinesis and Flame Vortex’s proficiency.”

Zheng Guoping: “...”

He really had a mental block when it came to geniuses...

...

8:01 PM.

Yaobao and Xiao Xunbao the Treasure-seeking Ghost sat side by side, watching Qiao Sang, who was sitting cross-legged on the sofa, munching on an apple.

“I’ve made some improvements to the Counter-Protective Barrier, so now the final effect doesn’t require a doppelganger to spin the actual body.

Yaobao, you’ll spin yourself,” Qiao Sang said, taking a bite of the apple: “We’ll start by practicing about a centimeter off the ground, so it won’t hurt if we fall.”

“Once we can spin without getting dizzy, we’ll allocate some time to practice controlling telekinesis and releasing the Flame Vortex skill.”

“Ya Ya!”

Yaobao wagged its tail, indicating it wasn’t a problem.

“Xun...”

Xiao Xunbao the Treasure-seeking Ghost sulked a bit. It wouldn’t be needed to help with the spinning anymore? It had found it quite fun.

Qiao Sang looked towards Xiao Xunbao the Treasure-seeking Ghost and smiled, “You can still spin for fun.”

“Xun.”

Xiao Xunbao the Treasure-seeking Ghost quickly shook its head; spinning on its own wasn’t as fun as spinning others.

“Ya?”

Yaobao paused, turning its head to look at its little brother.

So, it was helping with the spinning because it found it fun?

Xiao Xunbao the Treasure-seeking Ghost: “...”

Before going to sleep, Qiao Sang went to the poolside to check the jug of milk he had placed there in the morning.

It was full.

He twisted the cap with his hand.

It had been opened.

Qiao Sang couldn’t help but smile.

Tsk, it had been drunk again...

Beast taming, starting from zero point Chapter 209 - 199 Is There Enough Time The Devil's Betrothed Chapter 772: Wedding Night The Alpha: Claiming His Enemy's Daughter Chapter 1041: BONUS - S: IN HER LIFE In the dead of night, when all was silent, beneath a palm tree outside Qiao Sang’s Room 1705 crouched a man.

“I assure you, what you saw this morning was either a hallucination or an accident,” the portly security guard said to the sniveling Slug Beast on the ground, refusing to look at him: “You most likely encountered the Shuilu Yana we’ve been searching for, it might have the skill to create mirages, and what you saw was an illusion it conjured.”

“Slug slug?”

The Slug Beast turned its head, gazing at its own Beast Tamer with innocent, round eyes.

Really?

“Really, I swear to you.” The portly security guard brought his index finger, middle finger, and ring finger together and raised them as he swore: “If you go over there now, everyone and their pet beasts are asleep; you absolutely won’t run into anyone, and if I’m lying, may I be single for the rest of my life.”
