Chapter 737: Chapter 662: Getting Beaten Up Chapter 737: Chapter 662: Getting Beaten Up Elma pinched Qiao Sangâs arm to feel its firmness and said,
âNot bad, this firmness is good enough to start training.â
As she spoke, she looked toward Stabbing Fist Boy on the side, âJust 20 kilograms of force will do.â
âStabbing Fist.â Stabbing Fist Boy called out, then turned around to put on a pair of red boxing gloves for itself.
Whatâs it going to do⊠Seeing this, Qiao Sang had a bad feeling in her heart.
The next second, her premonition came true.
Elma said, âDonât be afraid, this level of force wonât injure you.â
Qiao Sang: ââŠâ
âAre you ready?â Elma asked.
Qiao Sang was silent for two seconds, then assumed a horse stance, âIâm ready.â
Elma gave a nod to Stabbing Fist Boy.
The next second, Stabbing Fist Boy swung its fists, striking forcefully.
Qiao Sang swayed slightly, and a single thought crossed her mind:
It really doesnât hurt that muchâŠ
Suddenly, she remembered something and reminded, âDonât hit the face.â
âStabbing Fist.â Stabbing Fist Boy called out, indicating it understood.
Without pausing, it continued hammering Qiao Sang, treating her like a punching bag.
Initially, Qiao Sang could not withstand the force and was unsteady, but after nearly ten minutes of continuous pounding, she was able to stand as steady as a mountain.
That is, she could remain unmoved while being beaten.
On the side, Elma did not forget her duty as a coach:
âTo strengthen your defensive power, you must start by training the skin, then the muscles, and finally the bones. What you need to do now is to enhance your impact resistance.â
âAlthough your skin is now tough, the force of the impacts is real. Once you get used to the force, you wonât need to apply the skunk venom anymore. After your own skin adjusts, you can apply the venom again to increase the force of the impact training.â
âOnce you can withstand a 200-kilogram punch force, the first round of the curriculum would be considered complete.â
At this point, she had a smile full of joy on her face, âYou will need at least 30 classes to see the effects of this round of the curriculum. Why not get a membership card? Then you can pay for the entire round of classes at once and get a 20% discount.â
Without a second thought, Qiao Sang said, âAlright, Iâll get a card.â
Upon hearing this, Elmaâs smile deepened.
At that moment, she turned to the Steel Guard Sparrowhawk nearby and said,
âThe Steel Guard Sparrowhawk should train as well.â
You just said that⊠Curious, Qiao Sang asked, âSame training method as mine?â
Gangbao looked toward the human known as Coach Elma.
Elma shook her head, âOf course not. As a Combat Series intermediate-level Pet Beast, the Steel Guard Sparrowhawk certainly canât train the same way you do.â
âItâs a Bond Evolution. Since you share pain during battle, it must fight against stronger opponents, sustain injuries, and you need to feel the pain. The more you feel the pain, the more your defensive power will naturally strengthen.â
Qiao Sang: ââŠâ
How could I not know that!
Not giving up, Qiao Sang asked, âIs there any other way to train?â
Elma replied seriously, âThis is the fastest way to enhance your defense. You know, Beast Tamers with Bond Evolution Pet Beasts are always the hardest to take down among their peers, and itâs for this reason.â
The hardest to take down⊠Qiao Sang fell into deep thought.
Elma continued,
âYou can also combine this with a regimen to strengthen bone density, and add a Tenacity Potion when soaking in a bath every day. Trust me, your defensive capability will definitely improve at an incredible rate.â
âWith daily training and use of potions, I think the first round of the curriculum could be finished in just 15 classes.â
15 classes, coming every day would be 15 days⊠Qiao Sang pondered while enduring Stabbing Fist Boyâs punches.
She had to admit, she was tempted.
Though she had no pressing matters at the moment, time was precious, and saving a bit of it was good. With the extra time, she could do a lot of other thingsâŠ
Gangbao had little real combat experience, and the training process would allow it to release skills and quickly increase proficiency. Moreover, as long as she could endure it, it would strengthen her defense, which was a win-win situation.
If she really suffered internal injuries, that would be a problem, but with Lubao aroundâŠ
Qiao Sang gritted her teeth, âI got it, letâs do as you say.â
Gangbao glanced at its Beast Tamer and its eyes seemed to say: Still have to take the hits hard.
Qiao Sang caught the meaning in Gangbaoâs eyes, and she silently shifted her gaze, feeling somewhat embarrassed.
Elma laughed, âThen let my smelly skunk fight with it.â
Having said that, she was about to call the skunk to start.
Qiao Sang objected, âNo need, my Spectral Ring Ghost can handle it.â
Since it was all about training through combat, it was better to have Xiao Xunbao do it. She would be there to supervise Xiao Xunbao, who had recently been too indulged in computers, becoming rather too lazy, especially compared to Lubao.
So itâs called a Spectral Ring Ghost⊠Elma glanced at the Spectral-type Pet Beast whose species name she hadnât known before and said,
âBut the Steel Guard Sparrowhawk must fight a stronger Pet Beast to be effective.â
âXun Xun?!â
Upon hearing this, Xiao Xunbao was not pleased.
It stared with wide eyes, floated in front of Elma, and gesticulated indignantly.
Open your eyes wide and look! Itâs stronger than number four!
Elma couldnât understand the meaning behind Xiao Xunbaoâs movements, but she knew that the Spectral-type Pet named Ghost Ring Specter was angry, so she cautiously took a step back.
Qiao Sang coughed:
âGhost Ring Specter is a High Level Pet Beast.â
A High Level Pet Beast? Elma was quite surprised as she glanced at the purple pet beast in front of her.
Such a small High Level Pet Beast?
âXun Xun!â
Xiao Xunbao crossed its arms, turned its head to the side, and huffed coldly.
âIâm sorry.â Elma apologized: âI didnât know it was a High Level Pet Beast.â
âItâs fine, itâs a Blue Starâs Pet Beast, itâs normal for you not to know,â Qiao Sang said with a smile.
Elma was stunned.
A Blue Starâs Pet Beast?
Blue Star?!
âStabbing Fist.â
Just as Elma was lost in thought, Stabbing Fist Boy put down his fists and stopped boxing.
It was then that Elma came back to her senses and, realizing something, she checked the time and said:
âThe hardening effect of the venom is about to wear off. You can take a break now, and then we will continue with the steps we started earlier.â
âAlright.â Qiao Sang said while moving her arms. She realized that the pain wasnât that bad now that her skin wasnât hard anymore, but there was still that soreness from being hit.
As she moved, she remembered Gangbao.
âYou guys start,â Qiao Sang said, then looked at Xiao Xunbao:
âXiao Xunbao, just keep using Tile Splitting Attack.â
Apart from the high-level skill Mind Headbutt, Tile Splitting Attack had the lowest proficiency among Xiao Xunbaoâs attack skills. Using this move, Gangbao should be able to hold on for a while.
âXun Xun.â
Xiao Xunbao nodded, instantly forgot about the earlier incident, floated to the side, and called out to signal that they could start.
âSteel Guardian.â
Gangbao moved in front of Xiao Xunbao and stood firm.
The next second, Xiao Xunbao lifted its claws, condensed a white energy blade that seemed almost tangible, and struck it upon Gangbaoâs body.
Gangbao did not dodge.
It was aware of the purpose of this training.
Within her heart, Qiao Sang thought, âDamn, that hurts,â but she bore the pain and did not cry out.
âGangbao, this is combat training, you can still move around a bit,â Qiao Sang said after enduring the pain.
There was a difference between getting hit in combat and just standing around taking hits.
The former not only trained defense but also strengthened other aspects, while the latter was purely about enduring the pain and reinforcing defense.
âSteel Guardian.â
Gangbao instantly understood the meaning of its Beast Tamer, and its body turned into a shiny iron-gray color, resisting most of the force from Xiao Xunbaoâs Tile Splitting Attack.
Qiao Sang felt a sense of satisfaction on the side.
At that moment, Elma looked over in shock:
âHow did your Spectral-type Pet learn a Combat Series skill?â
Qiao Sang replied, âIt just learned it by splitting tiles.â
Is it that simple?! But isnât it a Spectral Series Pet Beast?
Elma was somewhat perplexed.
Although all the Beast Tamers who come here belonged to the upper crust, and their pet beasts were no less exceptional, she had never seen a Spectral-type Pet Beast capable of learning Combat Series skillsâŠ
A Blue Starâs Spectral-type Pet Beast, and it can split tilesâŠ
The latest form of Little Steel FalconâŠ
At that moment, Elma suddenly realized that the girl in front of her might belong to a rather special group even among the upper echelons.
An hour later, the training ended.
During that time, Qiao Sang went through the process of applying the venom three times.
Elma handed her a beautifully crafted tote bag:
âInside there are seven bottles of fitness supplements and seven bottles of Tenacity Potion. The fitness supplements are for ingestion, and the Tenacity Potion is to be added to your bathwater. You use one bottle of each every day. Take these with you.â
Qiao Sang took the bag and asked:
âHow much?â
Elma smiled: âYouâve signed up for my class, so these costs are already included in the course fee. Just continue to choose my class when you come next time.â
No wonder itâs the second most expensive⊠Qiao Sang accepted the bag: âGot it.â
