Beast Taming: Starting From Zero

Chapter 259: Not Wanting to Expose the Truth

Little Treasure's eyes glowed with purple light, and Crowned Meow immediately felt drowsy. Without even struggling, it collapsed to the ground, falling into a deep sleep.

"Guan Guan!" Wang Yiding, who had just sat down on the first row of chairs on the sidelines, happened to witness Crowned Meow's fall.

He was startled and immediately stood up, rushing onto the field, urgently asking, "Master Qiao, what's going on here?"

Qiao Sang signaled him to calm down with a glance and explained, "I just used a bit of hypnosis on it. A nap, and it’ll be fine."

"A nap?!"

He came here not to have Crowned Meow sleep! Just as Wang Yiding was about to ask more, Qiao Sang continued:

"When hypnosis reaches a certain proficiency, it can control the target's dreams. Fortunately, Little Treasure has evolved into Treasure-Seeking Demon. Both his hypnosis and energy have had breakthroughs, so now he can control dreams, letting Crowned Meow experience what it was like when he learned teleportation."

"By experiencing teleportation in a dream, it might learn the skill faster."

With enough proficiency, hypnosis can control the target's dreams, something Qiao Sang realized after completing her first mission.

Later, when Little Treasure had mastered hypnosis, she tested it on herself.

She even had Little Treasure repeatedly watch the video of the Interstellar Cup competition.

At first, there were no issues. However, when the host loudly announced the contestants' entrance, Qiao Sang instinctively cheered along with the crowd.

But when she looked around, she noticed that everyone cheering had no facial features.

That scared her awake.

But this also made Qiao Sang realize that while perfect hypnosis could create dreams, the energy of a low-level pet was insufficient to make the dream feel detailed and realistic.

Now, it was different.

Little Treasure’s hypnosis had reached its peak, and with his evolution into Treasure-Seeking Demon, both his proficiency and energy had surpassed previous limits.

As long as the target's mental strength and energy weren’t stronger than Little Treasure’s, he could create a flawless dream.

"Create dreams?" Wang Yiding was stunned, his eyes widening.

"This level of proficiency must be perfect!"

Qiao Sang smiled lightly, neither confirming nor denying.

Wang Yiding stared at Qiao Sang, realizing that the composed and unruffled demeanor of a boss was fully on display.

To be honest, Little Treasure learning to break tiles was even more shocking. But that news had already spread throughout the school back then.

When something is said repeatedly, and everyone accepts it as fact, witnessing it firsthand doesn’t have the same impact.

Meanwhile, Crowned Meow found itself standing on a busy street.

Before it could process what was happening, a fat pigeon flew in from the distance and placed a relay baton on the back of a high-ranking Zongtai Bee nearby.

Cheers erupted from the surrounding crowd.

Crowned Meow looked to the side and was shocked to see the area crowded with people.

"Xun Xun!"

Crowned Meow was startled and called out.

Then it seemed to realize something and froze for a moment, looking confused for several seconds before cautiously calling again, its voice trembling:

"Xun…"

Crowned Meow: !!!

Its voice! Why had it changed?!

Just as Crowned Meow's expression turned to utter confusion, a blue-and-white pet beast streaked by like a gust of wind, placing the relay baton on its body.

The next moment, Crowned Meow's paws instinctively clenched, holding its breath and gathering energy.

Once all the power converged in a spot it couldn’t even describe, the location shifted.

"Xun?"

Crowned Meow turned its confused face back to where it had been.

Had it just teleported?

Suddenly, everything went dark, and when it opened its eyes again, it found itself back in a familiar place.

"Xun~"

Little Treasure, hiding his achievements and name, floated back to Qiao Sang's side.

"How does it feel?" Wang Yiding eagerly asked.

"Crown…"

Crowned Meow called out to its beastmaster, and soon it realized its voice had returned to normal. It immediately looked delighted.

"Crown!"

At this moment, Qiao Sang smiled at Crowned Meow and said, "You should have realized in the dream that you successfully used teleportation."

"Crown!"

Crowned Meow recalled its experience with teleportation in the dream, nodding with excitement.

"Good." Qiao Sang nodded with satisfaction.

"You should remember what teleportation felt like. Let’s try it again and see."

"Crown!"

Crowned Meow nodded eagerly.

It had been learning teleportation for quite some time, and throughout the process, many had told its beastmaster that it lacked the talent, claiming that it was all just false hope.

But after experiencing teleportation in the dream, Crowned Meow felt its confidence soar, completely forgetting about the need to be elegant.

It exerted all its strength, its white face turning red with effort.

The next second.

Poof…

An extremely ungraceful sound echoed throughout the entire training ground.

"Crown…"

Crownned Meow froze, wishing it could vanish on the spot. But just then, a familiar figure rushed over and tightly hugged it.

"Guan Guan! You did it! You did it!" Wang Yiding shouted excitedly.

"Crown?"

Crowned Meow looked around in confusion, realizing it had indeed teleported to a new position.

"Crown!!"

...

"Master Qiao! You’re amazing! After just two days of teaching, you got Crowned Meow to master teleportation! Even the senior trainers couldn’t do that!" Wang Yiding said, admiration written all over his face.

"Not at all." Qiao Sang humbly replied.

"It’s mainly because Crowned Meow already had some basic training in teleportation, so it could learn it faster."

"That’s not how it works." Wang Yiding said seriously.

"I’ve watched Crowned Meow’s training with real trainers before. It’s nothing like your method, so the way you taught it has nothing to do with the way it learned before."

"Crown!"

Crowned Meow nodded in agreement.

"But, Master Qiao, the way you taught it is a bit like... farting." Wang Yiding joked.

"Crown!"

Crowned Meow immediately bristled with anger.

"It’s not, it’s not! I misspoke." Wang Yiding quickly corrected himself.

You didn’t misspeak, because that’s actually how teleportation felt… Qiao Sang glanced at Crowned Meow, who was glaring at Wang Yiding.

Crowned Meow felt the gaze and turned to look.

Qiao Sang smiled broadly at it.

"Crown."

Crowned Meow nervously glanced away.

Qiao Sang's expression grew strange, and her sixth sense told her that Crowned Meow probably realized teleportation was learned the same way as farting.

After all, the sound was the same...

But it seemed Crowned Meow didn’t want to expose the truth.
