PM.
Little Treasure Spirit and Tingbao returned to the room looking exhausted.
Qiao Sang, who was meditating, opened her eyes and asked with a smile:
"How much money did you make?"
Little Treasure Spirit froze.
"Ting Ting."
Little Ting Dragon let out a cry, indicating that it seemed to have lost money.
Upon hearing this, Qiao Sang was momentarily stunned: "Did you lose many matches?"
For Little Ting Dragon, being a Dragon with dual electric attributes, even without Qiao Sangâs command, given its powerful traits and attributes, it shouldnât have lost so many battles.
"Ting Ting..."
Little Ting Dragon showed a guilty expression and let out a cry, agreeing that many opponents it challenged were way too strong, and it couldnât win.
Perhaps it didnât find basic-level Pet Beasts to battle... Qiao Sang looked at Little Treasure Spirit.
In her view, Little Treasure Spirit was smart and minded making money. Before selecting a Pet Beast to battle, it would surely use the Pet Beast Identifier, so she didnât think to remind it about this.
"Xun Xun..."
Little Treasure Spirit understood the implication of its Beast Tamerâs gaze, showed a "Thereâs nothing I can do" expression, and cried.
Indeed, it found Pet Beasts of the same level as Old Six, but those little guys saw Old Six and none agreed to battle. Even offering more money didnât sway them. It had no choice but to find a few Pet Beasts at the Intermediate level.
Those Intermediate-level Pet Beasts agreed, but Old Six lost.
Little Treasure Spirit genuinely didnât expect this.
After all, Tingbao had beaten several Intermediate-level Pet Beasts during their Beast Tamerâs matches and won the championship. It thought surpassing Intermediate-level opponents would be easy for Tingbao, never expecting such a crushing defeat.
"Ting Ting..."
Tingbao felt even more ashamed.
Beast Beasts on Flame Sky Star generally have some common sense. When basic-level Pet Beasts see Tingbao, though they canât recognize its species, they definitely recognize it as Dragon-type. The strength of Dragon-type Pet Beasts among equal-level Pet Beasts is acknowledged, so not wanting a battle where theyâre sure to lose is quite natural... As Qiao Sang thought about this, she comforted:
"Itâs okay, winning and losing are normal in battles. Sometimes losing lets you see your weaknesses better."
"Ting Ting."
Tingbao saw that its Beast Tamer wasnât upset and sighed in relief, nodding while crying, indicating it felt the same way.
"Ting Ting."
Said Tingbao, showing a serious expression with another cry.
It felt its movement speed was too slow. Many times, it couldnât dodge incoming attacks. It wished to continue training its movement speed.
Qiao Sang was a bit surprised by Tingbaoâs determination, and seriously replied:
"Your movement speed isnât fast mainly due to physical limitations; once you evolve or learn movement-oriented skills, your speed will naturally increase. For now, your focus should be on reaction ability, which can be rapidly enhanced through battles."
Given Tingbaoâs current form, practicing movement speed wouldnât make it much faster. Battles can both raise points and reinforce reaction ability, dodging attacks with minimal movement.
"Ting Ting."
Little Ting Dragon took this in, nodded, and showed an "I understand" expression.
With that, it turned and crawled towards the door.
"Xun Xun..."
Little Treasure Spirit offered the wallet.
Qiao Sang noticed Little Treasure Spiritâs low spirits and comforted:
"Itâs okay, Tingbao is young, with limited battle experience, losing is normal. I send it to battle to increase experience, not necessarily to win."
"Xun Xun~"
Little Treasure Spirit showed a touched expression, knowing its Beast Tamer wouldnât blame it.
Qiao Sang added:
"But next time, when you help Tingbao find opponents, itâs best to pick from the same stage. If they donât wish to battle, you can suggest paying them if they lose, and not charging if they win. If that fails, employ the Taunt skill."
"Xun Xun?"
Little Treasure Spirit paused, expressing, wasnât it about just gaining experience, not necessarily winning?
Iâm just comforting; why take it so seriously? Of course, we must aim to win, otherwise, how will we increase points... Qiao Sang coughed, saying:
"Though the goal isnât necessarily to win, losing too much can affect Tingbaoâs confidence. Sometimes battling opponents of the same stage leads to progress."
Little Treasure Spirit recalled when Lubao evolved to King Level and once it defeated it in one move during training. Feeling empathetic, it nodded:
