Training Plan

Eight-Tube Coral, a Water-type Pet Beast and the evolved form of Hidden Coral Worm. Invisibility was not its skill, but its trait.

As long as it touched an object, it could adjust the nanocrystals on its skin to match the corresponding color, achieving an invisible effect.

Qiao Sang was speechless as she read the introduction to Eight-Tube Coral.

Are you sure this isn't a chameleon?

But the Pet Beast world truly was the Pet Beast world. The chameleons from her previous life could never achieve such an exaggerated effect.

Other than its upper body being pressed against the Square-faced Man's body, the Eight-Tube Coral on that bus had kept its other eight tentacles suspended in the air the entire time.

With so many people in close proximity on the bus, not a single one had noticed it.

Thinking of this, Qiao Sang searched for more information about Eight-Tube Coral.

After browsing for five minutes, confusion flashed through her eyes.

There was nothing.

None of the information mentioned why Eight-Tube Coral's aura could vanish so suddenly.

Back on the bus, she had briefly thought that the Square-faced Man had stored his Pet Beast in the Pet Beast Codex.

But when a Pet Beast was stored in the Pet Beast Codex, a faint light would appear on its body.

If that had happened, everyone on the bus would have seen it. Eight-Tube Coral clearly had not been stored away.

That was why she had paid special attention when the Square-faced Man had tried to get off the bus.

If its aura had not disappeared, why could Fire Fang Dog smell it one moment and fail to smell it the next?

The Square-faced Man had only been two people away from her. At such a close distance, it was impossible for Fire Fang Dog not to detect it.

Yet Fire Fang Dog had said that the aura had suddenly appeared and then suddenly disappeared.

Eight-Tube Coral had been attached to the Square-faced Man the whole time. Its aura had always been there, so how could it have suddenly appeared?

Could Fire Fang Dog's nose be less sensitive than she thought?

So it had only noticed it after sniffing closely later on?

"Yip... achoo!"

Fire Fang Dog suddenly sneezed.

Qiao Sang thought about it for a long time without figuring it out, so she simply made a post on the forum to ask.

This was when the value of a forum became apparent.

Before long, someone gave her an answer.

Isn't it just Aura Concealment?

How could that be? Aura Concealment can't disappear and reappear right away. There has to be at least a minute in between.

Couldn't it just be bad at Aura Concealment?

I think the person above has a point.

When my Great Pull Iron Ox first started practicing it, its aura only disappeared for two seconds.

Aura Concealment lessons available online! No need for 9,998, only 998! Only 998!

OP, don't fall for it. The person above is a scammer!

Qiao Sang suddenly understood. Of course—what else could explain these unreasonable phenomena besides a skill?

Other than in certain situations, Aura Concealment was generally useless in everyday life. No wonder she had never thought of it.

If Fire Fang Dog knew a skill like Sandstorm that could obscure the battlefield's vision, paired with Aura Concealment, it would definitely be a powerful killing move.

Unfortunately, it did not.

At present, there was absolutely no need for Fire Fang Dog to learn that skill.

Qiao Sang closed the computer and looked at Fire Fang Dog.

She had not forgotten what she needed to do that night.

"Fire Fang Dog, use Fire Fang. Use it as many times as you can."

"Yip."

Although Fire Fang Dog did not understand its Beastmaster's intentions, it obediently nodded.

Three minutes later, Fire Fang Dog lay on the floor, panting heavily.

Qiao Sang counted. It had used the skill thirteen times in total.

That was more than she had expected.

But it might also have been because it had just eaten an Energy Meal.

Just as Qiao Sang was about to check the Pet Beast Codex—

"Yip..."

Fire Fang Dog weakly called out to Qiao Sang.

Qiao Sang understood immediately. She got up, went to the kitchen, took two Red Millet Fruits from the refrigerator, juiced them, and poured the juice into a bowl.

After the last six Red Millet Fruits had been eaten, her mother had bought another six and brought them home.

But this time, Qiao Sang had controlled the portions and only let Fire Fang Dog have one every two days.

A single Red Millet Fruit cost 700 Alliance Coins. Eating one every day was truly too much to bear.

Fire Fang Dog had worked hard today, so Qiao Sang could not resist taking out two. Now that she had a huge sum of 50,000 Alliance Coins on hand, it was not as though she could not indulge a little.

Fire Fang Dog held the bowl with its two front paws and gulped down the juice. Once it finished, it let out a satisfied cry.

Seeing Fire Fang Dog perk up again, Qiao Sang could not help stroking its head.

Fire Fang Dog only sounded energetic. Its body was actually already exhausted, and before long, it lay on the floor and fell asleep.

After carrying it onto the bed and covering it with a blanket, Qiao Sang went to the desk.

Training without a plan was inefficient. Qiao Sang prepared to write a training plan.

First, they would get up at six in the morning for a run to train stamina and speed.

Fire Fang Dog's speed was lacking, so this absolutely needed focused training. Otherwise, others would hit it every time, while it would be unable to hit them no matter what. How could that do?

Other than speed training, all remaining time would be spent practicing skills.

Fire Fang Dog currently knew four skills: Bite, Take Down, Fire Fang, and Spark. Other than Take Down, all of them were still at the beginner stage.

Qiao Sang did not plan to let Fire Fang Dog continue practicing Bite. Now that it had Fire Fang, a more powerful Mid-Level Skill, Bite had become somewhat redundant.

Take Down was currently at the proficient level, with more than 300 points remaining before it reached the next stage, minor mastery. If it wanted to reach minor mastery before Saint Water High School's special admissions, it would need to use Take Down around forty times a day.

Training speed every day, while also using Fire Fang and Spark and adding forty Take Downs, was definitely impossible.

Fire Fang Dog was not even a month old. Training like that would be far too much for it.

After thinking for a moment, Qiao Sang took her pen and changed the forty after Take Down to ten.

For the next nine days, besides training speed, it only needed to raise Fire Fang and Spark to the proficient level.

Only by enduring the bitterest hardships could a beast become the greatest of beasts.

Qiao Sang looked at the training plan in her hand and smiled in satisfaction.

The next morning.

"Why haven't you gone to school yet?" her mother asked with a dark expression.

Qiao Sang checked the time. It was 7:54. She had overslept...

Her six o'clock morning run plan had died before it even began...

"Mom, why haven't you left yet?" Qiao Sang asked in return.

She had not yet figured out how to tell her mother about taking leave from school. If she were a top student, it would be no big deal to say she wanted to study on her own at home and train Fire Fang Dog during the final few days.

But the problem was that, in her mother's eyes, she was a poor student...

Who would expect a poor student to study properly after leaving school?

Qiao Sang had not planned to hide it from her mother forever. She only wanted to tell her after Saint Water High School's special admissions exam was over.

Her mother usually left home before she did. She had not expected an accident like this today.

A miscalculation...

"A client booked me for the whole day today. I'm leaving this afternoon, so it's still early. What about you? What's going on? There are only a few days left, yet you got up so late. Class starts at 8:10. What time do you think it is now?" her mother said unhappily.

"I'm leaving right away!" Qiao Sang raised her hand in promise.

She picked up the bread from the table and held it in her mouth.

Putting on her shoes, picking up Fire Fang Dog, opening the door, and closing it—all in one smooth motion.

Outside the door, Qiao Sang sighed.

She had originally planned to return home and rest after morning training, but it seemed she would have to spend the day outside.
