Chapter Summaries

Qiao Sang and Ya Bao completed seven curse-removal jobs, and Mikala told her they would leave for Huachang City the next day. There, Qiao Sang learned she could enter Ting Bao in a Pet Beast tournament for a chance to win access to an Energy Pool, though only one month remained.

• Ya Bao focused his Holy Fire to purify Zheng Dazhuang’s curse, then Qiao Sang and her team hurried on to complete all seven jobs before dark.
• Qiao Sang learned from Ya Bao that the Curse of Dementia had been the hardest curse to purify because its miasma had gathered in the victim’s head.
• Mikala explained that the Curse of Dementia grows more dangerous over time and said they would leave for Huachang City the next day.
• Mikala told Qiao Sang that Huachang City was hosting a Pet Beast Free-Points Battle whose champion would win an Energy Pool visit.
• Mikala clarified that only Intermediate Pet Beasts could compete and that the tournament had just one month left; Qiao Sang realized Ting Bao could enter.

Qiao Sang agreed to enter Tingbao in Huachang City's Pet Beast Free Points Battle Competition, where it would fight independently for a chance to earn points and gain combat experience. After arriving in Huachang City, she prepared to register Tingbao and continued Qingbao's clone-control training.

• Mikala told Qiao Sang that Tingbao could enter the ongoing competition and explained its potential rewards and value as combat training.
• Qiao Sang found Tingbao training at the Open-air Training Ground and asked whether it wanted to compete; Tingbao eagerly agreed to fight without commands.
• Qiao Sang checked the competition rules and learned that registration required visiting the Pet Tamer Center in Huachang City.
• The next day, Qiao Sang and Mikala arrived in Huachang City with their pet beasts, and Qiao Sang explained that Qingbao was practicing long-distance clone control.

Qiao Sang settled into a villa in Huachang City, then registered Tingbao for the Pet Beast Free Points Battle Competition. After learning the basic rules, she planned to test the competition with one match before taking Ya Bao to complete missions.

• Mikala handed the villa keys and passwords to the landlord, and Qiao Sang settled in while Shalala happily explored the courtyard.
• Qiao Sang took Shalala and Tingbao to the Pet Tamer Center to register Tingbao for the Pet Beast Free Points Battle Competition.
• Qiao Sang paid a 5,000 Alliance Coins deposit and received Tingbao’s Score Recording Device and a competition guide.
• After reading the guide, Qiao Sang told Tingbao to find an opponent for one match before she took Ya Bao to complete missions.

Qiao Sang prepared Tingbao to compete in the Pet Beast Free Points Battle Competition and sent Little Treasure along to assist it. Tingbao won its first match against Electric Cat, and Qiao Sang explained the competition’s multiple-opponent battle mode before leaving to complete missions.

• Tingbao panicked about competing alone, so Qiao Sang promised it a cooling hair clip and assigned Little Treasure to accompany it.
• Qiao Sang had Tingbao invite Electric Cat to battle, and a referee created an arena with a referee bracelet.
• Tingbao defeated Electric Cat with one strike, earning one point while Electric Cat lost one point.
• Qiao Sang explained that contestants could challenge multiple opponents at once if they had enough points, then gave Little Treasure her wallet and told it to watch Tingbao.
• Qiao Sang left with Ya Bao and the others to complete a mission while Tingbao continued competing with Little Treasure.

Little Treasure took Tingbao to a snack street instead of having her battle, while Qiao Sang discovered that Ya Bao's flames could easily lift a Dark Curse. With only two hours left before they had to return, Little Treasure finally hurried Tingbao into a match, where Tingbao earned six points.

• Little Treasure persuaded Tingbao to eat with her before battling, and Tingbao spent much of the day eating snacks and ice cream.
• Qiao Sang and Ya Bao lifted a woman's Dark Curse when Ya Bao's Solar Power-infused flames purified it, allowing the woman to face sunlight again.
• Qiao Sang discussed Tingbao's likely score with her other pets and decided to check on her after finishing the day's tasks.
• Little Treasure learned there were only two hours before they had to return and urged Tingbao to start competing.
• Tingbao battled three Pet Beasts and earned six points.

Little Treasure persuaded Tingbao to fight six Electric-type opponents at once in the Pet Beast Free Points Battle Competition, and Tingbao won despite the odds. After returning home exhausted, Tingbao revealed that it had earned 42 points, while Little Treasure concealed how it had pushed Tingbao into increasingly difficult matches.

• Little Treasure persuaded Tingbao to restore its energy and challenge six Electric-type opponents at once, promising that Tingbao’s Lightning Rod trait would protect it.
• Tingbao defeated all six opponents with its Electric immunity, Electric Net, 100,000 Volts, and physical attacks, raising its score to 12 points.
• Little Treasure gave Tingbao more Energy Recovery Fluid and promised to find another group of six opponents, and Tingbao agreed.
• At the villa, Qiao Sang asked whether Little Treasure and Tingbao had returned, while Qingbao and Ya Bao speculated about where they had gone.
• Little Treasure and an exhausted Tingbao returned, and Little Treasure avoided admitting that it had arranged increasingly difficult matches.
• Tingbao showed Qiao Sang its score screen, revealing 42 points and a rank of 1000+.

Qiao Sang discovered that Tingbao had scored 42 points, suspected Little Treasure had helped him take shortcuts, and sent Qingbao’s clones to follow them while training her clone control. Little Treasure took Tingbao toward a charging station to find tired Electric-type opponents, while Qingbao’s clone exposed that they had gone to eat first.

• Qiao Sang praised Tingbao’s 42 points despite realizing that he and Little Treasure were hiding how they had earned them.
• Little Treasure returned Tingbao’s cooling hairpin, then asked Qiao Sang for stamina-restoring potions for their next round of battles.
• Qiao Sang sent Qingbao’s clones to follow Little Treasure and Tingbao, using the task to train Qingbao’s long-distance clone control.
• Little Treasure rejected Tingbao’s suggestion to challenge an opponent and took him to the snack street to eat; Qingbao’s clone caught sight of them before dissipating.
• Qiao Sang inferred that Little Treasure had helped Tingbao rack up points by finding weak or Electric-type opponents, while Little Treasure waited by a charging station for tired Electric-type pet beasts.

Qiao Sang coached Qingbao on controlling distant clones while Qingbao tried to spy on Little Treasure and Tingbao, who spent the day enjoying themselves and collecting battle opponents. After Qingbao’s clone was destroyed at a spa, Shalala suggested that Qingbao could communicate with the wind, and Qingbao tried the ability as Little Treasure and Tingbao began another string of battles at a charging station.

• Qiao Sang told Qingbao to focus on keeping its main body steady and to train with only one distant clone at a time.
• Little Treasure and Tingbao spent two hours at a spa before Little Treasure used its ability to take Tingbao away, and a passing tiger-like Pet Beast startled Qingbao’s clone into dispersing.
• Qiao Sang completed a curse-purification mission, then learned from Qingbao that Little Treasure and Tingbao had been playing and visiting a spa all day.
• Shalala told Qiao Sang that Qingbao could communicate with the wind, and Qingbao closed its eyes and summoned a gust to try it.
• At a charging station, Little Treasure pretended to discourage Tingbao from challenging six opponents, prompting nearby Electric-type Pet Beasts to accept Tingbao’s challenge.

Little Treasure helped Tingbao rack up competition points by arranging one-versus-six battles at a charging station, while Qiao Sang and the others followed Qingbao’s wind-guided lead to find them. Qiao Sang approved of the strategy but assigned Little Treasure a daily target of 200 points, with extra physical training as the penalty for falling short.

• Tingbao defeated six Electric-type Pet Beasts in a one-versus-six match, earning six points, while Little Treasure theatrically warned it not to keep battling without rest.
• Qingbao sensed the wind leading southwest and guided Qiao Sang, Ya Bao, Gang Bao, and Shalala toward Little Treasure and Tingbao.
• Little Treasure persuaded Tingbao to drink recovery potions before another one-versus-six match, then put the potions away when the other Electric-type Pet Beasts objected.
• Qiao Sang arrived and praised Little Treasure’s method for helping Tingbao accumulate points quickly, then suggested inviting contestants of other species to battle.
• Qiao Sang ordered Little Treasure to help Tingbao earn at least 200 points each day or face three extra hours of physical training.

Qiao Sang made Little Treasure and Tingbao face stricter daily competition goals after discovering they had spent days playing instead of training. While the two searched charging stations for opponents, Qiao Sang went to find them after dinner, unaware that a disgruntled Ghost Type Pet Beast was waiting elsewhere.

• Qiao Sang told Little Treasure that Tingbao needed to earn over 200 points each day or Little Treasure would have to train its real body for three extra hours.
• Tingbao defeated six Electric-type Pet Beasts, bringing its score to 56 points, but the nearby opponents scattered rather than face it again.
• Qiao Sang learned that Little Treasure had taken Tingbao out to play, then ordered them to make up the day's competition points; Little Treasure led Tingbao to another charging station to find opponents.
• At dinner, Teacher Mikala warned Qiao Sang that the Mute Curse Ya Bao had purified might have been cast by a powerful Melody Phantom that could seek them out.
• After dinner, Qiao Sang set off to find Little Treasure and Tingbao, while Gang Bao and Qingbao prepared a faster way to travel; a sullen humanoid Ghost Type Pet Beast appeared in a music bar.

Qiao Sang’s team discovered that a Melody Phantom had muted Little Treasure and Fang Fang purified the curse while Tingbao continued its 1V8 battle. Tingbao broke free of an ice attack at the end of the chapter, with the match still ongoing.

• The Melody Phantom sensed that someone had purified its curse, found that person nearby, and fled after telling the bird-like Pet Beast it would leave for now.
• At the charging station, Tingbao recovered from its first 1V8 battle and chose to fight another group, while Little Treasure worried that the opponents were not all Electric-type.
• A Melody Phantom cast a Mute Curse on Little Treasure, but Fang Fang located and knocked out the Ghost Type Pet Beast, then purified the curse with Sacred Fire.
• Little Treasure pretended to faint when Tingbao was struck during the match, and Qiao Sang recognized that Tingbao was facing several opponents with different attributes.
• Tingbao endured attacks from the opposing Pet Beasts, knocked out several of them, and was bound by vines and frozen by an ice beam.
• Lightning appeared inside the ice shell, and Tingbao cracked it open.

Tingbao won a one-versus-eight match, then earned 248 points by battling through the night while Little Treasure accompanied it. After hearing how Qingbao could communicate with the wind, Mikala suggested that Qiao Sang use that ability to search for the Sun Crystal, leaving her to consider the idea.

• Tingbao defeated three remaining opponents after taking on eight pet beasts, earning eight points and collapsing from exhaustion.
• Luobao healed Tingbao, while Gang Bao exposed Little Treasure's fake unconsciousness; Qiao Sang then let Little Treasure take Tingbao out to compete again.
• Little Treasure and Tingbao returned after midnight with Tingbao at 248 points, having challenged Bug-type pet beasts when few Electric-type opponents were available.
• Qiao Sang praised Tingbao and let Little Treasure play on her phone, then reflected on Tingbao's strength and Sacred Fire's progress.
• At breakfast, Qiao Sang told Mikala about Tingbao's matches and Qingbao's ability to communicate with the wind.
• Mikala suggested that Qiao Sang try using the wind to find the Sun Crystal.

Qiao Sang tested Ya Bao’s improved Sacred Fire, learned it had become powerful enough to burn away Gang Bao’s feather, and began training Ya Bao to control it before resuming curse-removal missions. Qingbao followed the wind to a fake Sun Crystal, while Tingbao spent the next half month competing and reached 3,186 points before deciding to nap.

• Qiao Sang raised Ya Bao’s Sacred Fire proficiency, and Ya Bao burned Gang Bao’s steel-hard feather to ash; Teacher Mikala advised them to keep practicing until Ya Bao could control the skill.
• Qiao Sang went to find Little Treasure and Tingbao, who had gone straight to the competition grounds, where Tingbao defeated eight opponents.
• Qingbao told Qiao Sang that the wind had found a Sun Crystal, but the crystal turned out to be a fake gemstone sold in a shop.
• Over the next half month, Tingbao competed until its score reached 3,186 points and its rank reached 655.
• After defeating its latest opponent, Tingbao yawned and went to take a nap before competing again.

Little Treasure brought Tingbao to Qiao Sang after it slept for hours and could not be woken. Mikala and the Dragon Overlord examined Tingbao and revealed that it was about to shed its skin.

• Little Treasure tried to wake Tingbao, then transported it to Luobao when repeated Tongue Lick attempts failed.
• Little Treasure contacted Qiao Sang through their Pet Beast Codex, and Qiao Sang summoned the sleeping Tingbao.
• Qiao Sang exposed a fake Sun Crystal to a couple before Little Treasure transported her and the others back to the villa.
• Qiao Sang called Teacher Mikala, who arrived with Penjia Mei and the Dragon Overlord to examine Tingbao.
• The Dragon Overlord told Mikala that Tingbao was fine and was about to shed its skin.

Tingbao began and completed its first shedding, growing larger as Qiao Sang stayed by its side. Afterward, Tingbao remembered it still needed to earn 200 points and wanted to find an opponent.

• Mikala explained that Tingbao's shedding would take about a day and advised Qiao Sang to stay nearby to preserve their bond.
• Dragon Overlord stayed with Qiao Sang while Ya Bao took Little Treasure to train during Tingbao's shedding.
• Qiao Sang saw a news report about a yellow Electric-type Pet Beast seeking battles against opponents it could counter and worried it would become harder to find Electric-type opponents.
• Tingbao awoke and shed its skin while Qiao Sang called Mikala, who arrived with Penjia Mei.
• Tingbao finished shedding after about two minutes, appeared larger, and then asked when it could find an opponent to earn its 200 points.

After molting, Tingbao rested before heading out with Little Treasure to earn points, where its challenge of eight Bug-type Pet Beasts led it to face the competition’s first-ranked Land Dragon. The chapter ended as a referee raised a Barrier around their upcoming battle.

• Qiao Sang and Mikala kept Tingbao from battling immediately after it molted, and Little Treasure went to train with Ya Bao.
• Little Treasure took Tingbao to a charging station, but the Electric Type Pet Beasts refused to battle them, so they went to a grassland to challenge Bug-type Pet Beasts.
• Tingbao defeated eight Bug-type Pet Beasts and earned eight points, then demanded another group battle as the surrounding Bug-type Pet Beasts sought a stronger challenger.
• Qiao Sang saw Land Dragon, the first-ranked competitor with 13,070 points, interviewed on television and wondered whether Tingbao might encounter it.
• Land Dragon emerged to challenge Tingbao, and Tingbao accepted despite Little Treasure's warning; an old Bug-type referee activated a Barrier around them.

Tingbao lost its battle against the competition’s first-ranked Earthland Dragon, and Qiao Sang encouraged it to challenge the winner again while preparing targeted training. After reviewing Earthland Dragon’s battle footage, Qiao Sang revealed that it had the Lightning Rod Ability.

• Earthland Dragon overwhelmed Tingbao with mud, lightning-countering tactics, and Rock Thorn attacks, knocking it unconscious and winning the match.
• Little Treasure brought the injured Tingbao home, where Luobao healed it, and Qiao Sang heard how it had lost to Earthland Dragon.
• Qiao Sang encouraged Tingbao to challenge Earthland Dragon again, and Tingbao agreed while planning to keep collecting competition points.
• Qiao Sang set an afternoon training session, then researched Earthland Dragon and watched its competition videos.
• Tingbao returned at 4:03 p.m. ready for targeted training, and Qiao Sang warned it that Earthland Dragon had the Lightning Rod Ability.

Qiao Sang trained Tingbao to improve its Electric Net after its loss to the Land Dragon, then brought it to challenge the Land Dragon again. The Land Dragon refused to fight a defeated opponent, leaving Tingbao’s rematch unresolved.

• Qiao Sang reviewed Tingbao’s match and explained that its Electric Net and Leer had affected the Land Dragon, so it trained Tingbao to enclose targets from every direction.
• Tingbao completed a spherical Electric Net around Mikala after Qiao Sang made her its target, and Jacqueline examined Tingbao after its molt and prescribed new Energy Meals.
• After three days of training, Qiao Sang took Tingbao to find the Land Dragon, but it was not at the usual spot.
• Tingbao fought waves of Bug-type Pet Beasts to draw out the Land Dragon, and one ant-like Pet Beast went to its underground cave to tell it about the challenge.
• The Land Dragon recognized Tingbao and told the ant-like Pet Beast that it would not battle a defeated opponent again.

Qiao Sang tried to persuade the Earth Lu Dragon to battle Ting Bao again, but it refused because it considered Ting Bao too weak. She proposed that Ting Bao become number one in points to make the Earth Lu Dragon reconsider.

• Qiao Sang had Little Treasure use its mind-controlling ability to lead them to the Earth Lu Dragon’s underground hideout.
• Little Treasure dragged the Earth Lu Dragon out, but it refused Ting Bao’s challenge and threatened to report them if they kept pressing it.
• Qiao Sang asked what would make the Earth Lu Dragon agree to battle, and it said Ting Bao had to become stronger than it.
• Qiao Sang told Ting Bao they could get the Earth Lu Dragon to fight by becoming number one in points.

Qiao Sang planned to help Tingbao surpass Earth Land Dragon in points by exploiting Bug-type Pet Beasts’ weakness to lightning and seeking Thunder Weather. After finding a potential contact who could produce the weather, she received a call just as Gang Bao arrived to translate.

• Qiao Sang proposed defeating large groups of lightning-weak Bug-type Pet Beasts to raise Tingbao’s points, and she found Scent Moths at Gaoqiu Mountain.
• Qiao Sang delayed the Scent Moth plan until Tingbao could hold its breath for a minute and Thunder Weather arrived, but the forecast showed sunny skies for the next half month.
• Qiao Sang sent Little Treasure and Tingbao to battle other opponents while she searched for more lightning-weak Bug-type Pet Beasts and someone who could create Thunder Weather.
• Lei Da accepted Qiao Sang’s request through the Pet Tamer Center app, and an unfamiliar number called her.
• Gang Bao flew in, offered to translate, and Qiao Sang answered the call.
