Chapter 24: A Mutual Understanding
Weight training was Qiao Sang's idea to enhance Fire fang Dog's speed.
Speed improvement relies on both explosive power and frequency.
If Fire fang Dog could maintain its regular speed while carrying a load, removing the weight later would definitely boost its speed to a higher level.
However, appropriate weight is crucial for effective training; excessive weight would only burden Fire fang Dog's body.
Qiao Sang recalled reading in a fitness magazine in her previous life that the optimal weight range for beginners should be 8% to 20% of their body weight.
Fire fang Dog weighed 19 kg, yet the weight bead it selected was around 25 kg.
Qiao Sang put down the weight bead and was about to look at the weighted rings when a store clerk approached.
"Is there something you're looking to buy? I can help recommend something." The clerk offered.
Qiao Sang didn't refuse.
"I want to buy some weight training tools for my Fire fang Dog."The clerk smiled. "Then you should consider a gravity necklace. The latest OM-8 model from Yongchuang Group can adjust its settings according to your pet's endurance, suitable for pets from beginner to advanced levels. Your Fire fang Dog could use it for at least six years."
Such advanced technology?
Qiao Sang was intrigued. "How much does it cost?"
Sensing a potential sale, the clerk responded, "350,000 Alliance Coins. If you sign up for our store membership, you can get a 5% discount."
That's enough to buy three Fire fang Dogs...
Qiao Sang glanced at Fire fang Dog silently.
Firfang Dog looked back at her, confused.
"Forget it, I'll stick with the gravity rings." Qiao Sang declined.
The clerk maintained her enthusiasm. She picked up a black gravity ring from the shelf and smiled, "If your Fire fang Dog is just starting with gravity rings, I recommend this 10 kg one. The black color would look good with your Fire fang Dog."
"Isn't that too heavy?" Qiao Sang asked.
"Not at all. Fire fang Dog can easily handle half its body weight while moving around. For Fighting-type pets, they can carry weights several times their own weight without any issues." The clerk explained.
Qiao Sang understood.
This was the era of pet training; she shouldn't apply scientific principles from her past life here.
With the clerk's recommendations, Qiao Sang ended up buying three gravity rings—10 kg, 15 kg, and 20 kg—spending a total of 3,500 Alliance Coins.
Qiao Sang then took Fire fang Dog to a bench in the mall's central area, where she fitted the 10 kg gravity ring onto its right forelimb.
The gravity ring's size ranged from 3 cm to 15 cm, with an adjustable clasp. The force would spread throughout the body, so there was no worry about it concentrating solely on the right forelimb.
"How does it feel?" Qiao Sang asked.
Fire fang Dog stared blankly at the virtual screen above the mall's center, not responding.
Qiao Sang followed Fire fang Dog's gaze.
When they first arrived, the screen was showing advertisements. Now, it was broadcasting the most prestigious competition in the Alliance.
The Global Interstellar Beast Master Cup.
Commonly known as the Interstellar Cup.
The Interstellar Cup is a competition where the top Beast Masters from four planets compete, held every three years.
Just on Blue Planet alone, the global population exceeds 7 billion, and with the other three planets combined, the total population reaches over 38 billion.
Selecting the top Beast Masters from 38 billion people to participate in the Interstellar Cup is no easy feat.
First, one must win two national-level championships within a year and then receive national support to compete in the World Asia Beast Master League.
Those who rank in the top six in the World Asia Beast Master League will then participate in the Global World Alliance Beast Master Championship.
Finally, the top six players from the Global World Alliance Championship will qualify for the Interstellar Cup.
The screen was currently showing the Interstellar Cup.
On the screen was a refined-looking man in a white trench coat, standing beside a Giant Sky Toad about 60 meters tall.
The Giant Sky Toad was gray-black, its color deep and heavy, with a solemn expression as it gazed forward.
A pair of custom black sunglasses perched on its face, giving it a cool and mysterious vibe.
The 300,000-capacity audience roared with deafening cheers, chanting the names of Lin Ya and the Giant Sky Toad.
The waves of sound rolled over the competition venue.
Qiao Sang felt her blood boil as she watched the scene on the screen, her passion as a Beast Master ignited!
As a Beast Master, wasn't the biggest dream in life to compete in the Interstellar Cup?
Qiao Sang turned to look at Fire fang Dog, still staring intently at the screen.
She knew that at this moment, she and Fire fang Dog were in perfect sync!
Qiao Sang grabbed Fire fang Dog's face and solemnly declared, "Fire fang Dog, believe in me! One day, we'll stand up there too!"
Fire fang Dog: ???
It looked at its Beast Master in confusion.
Up there?
What up there?
Snapped out of its trance by its Beast Master's grip, Fire fang Dog tried to raise its paw to point at the screen, but something felt off. It realized its paw now had the newly purchased item on it.
"Yap!"
Fire fang Dog didn’t mind and raised its paw slightly, pointing at the screen, then barked excitedly.
Qiao Sang: "..."
"You mean you want sunglasses?"
Fire fang Dog nodded eagerly.
"You were looking at the sunglasses, not the competition?"
"Yap?"
Firefang Dog tilted its head.
What competition?
Qiao Sang: "..."
To hell with mutual understanding!
---
At Chagui Park.
"Yap!"
A burst of fiery sparks shot out.
Wearing a pair of black triangular sunglasses, Fire fang Dog energetically practiced its skill release training.
Qiao Sang watched from the side.
The triangular sunglasses seemed to act as some kind of strange switch. Since putting them on, Fire fang Dog had been in a state of high excitement.
It had already released Ember 21 times, and its energy level was still incredibly high.
Qiao Sang couldn't help but think, why does it seem like it's on some kind of drug...
Twenty minutes later, the effect wore off.
Fire fang Dog collapsed on the ground, unable to move.
Fortunately, they still had plenty of the Qiyuan Milk purchased in the morning. As Fire fang Dog drank the milk, Qiao Sang's consciousness entered the Beast Master Codex.

Fire fang Dog had just unleashed Fire Fang 18 times and Ember 26 times!
Qiao Sang looked at Fire fang Dog, her eyes gleaming, and asked, "Do you like any other styles of sunglasses?"
"Yap~"
Fire fang Dog's weak bark was tinged with excitement.
In the end, with Fire fang Dog's choice, Qiao Sang ordered six different styles of sunglasses online.
Seven days a week, a different pair each day, never the same.
At 3:32 PM, Fire fang Dog finally recovered.
This time, Qiao Sang didn't push it too hard. After Fire fang Dog released Fire Fang four times and Fire Sparks eight times, she had it stop.
The data in the Beast Master Codex also changed.

"Fire fang Dog, next, we’ll start the weight training." Qiao Sang said.
