Dragon-type Pet Beasts develop slowly, even at the beginner stage, they take several times more time than ordinary Pet Beasts.

With top-tier resources, the shedding process for intermediate Dragon-type Pet Beasts can take several months or even around a year.

But Thunder Dragon is about to shed for the first time in just about a month, such speed is a bit too fast.

"Xun Xun..."

Little Treasure Spirit heard and silently sighed in relief.

So it’s shedding...

It’s actually shedding... Qiao Sang was delighted in her heart.

Shedding means that Tingbao is growing healthily.

She immediately thought of something and asked:

"How long does shedding usually take?"

"It depends on the Pet Beast itself." Mikaela answered, "Generally, it only takes a day for intermediate Dragon-type Pet Beasts to shed. Let the Dragon sleep, and after waking up, it will be done shedding. When Dragon King shed, it took a day."

"Momo." Dragon King nodded, indicating that’s correct.

A day, seems like it’s better not to leave the house next... Qiao Sang thought while bending over to pick up Tingbao and placed it on the sofa.

Even though Tingbao is over two meters long, for Qiao Sang now, picking it up is an easy task.

"It’s best for the Beast Tamer to be beside the Dragon-type Pet Beast during shedding." Mikaela said.

She paused and added, "If during the shedding process the Dragon-type Pet Beast doesn’t feel the presence of the Beast Tamer, its temperament might change after shedding, and it may not be as close to the Beast Tamer."

So there’s this... Qiao Sang seriously stated, "I will definitely stay by Tingbao’s side."

Mikaela said, "I have things to do, contact me during the shedding," then disappeared along with Pen Jiami.

Dragon King stayed behind.

Qiao Sang sat on the sofa and asked, "You’re not leaving together?"

"Momo." 𝗳𝚛𝗲𝕖𝚠𝚎𝚋𝗻𝗼𝕧𝗲𝐥.𝚌𝚘𝐦

Dragon King picked up the remote on the coffee table, lay sideways on the ground, propped its head with its paw, pressed the remote, watched TV, and called out, indicating Mikaela’s tasks don’t need it.

"Gangqiu." Gangbao translated in her mind.

"What has Teacher Mikaela been doing lately?" Qiao Sang asked curiously.

Lately, Teacher Mikaela resembled how she acted in Gaozhou, constantly running outside.

"Momo."

Dragon King watched TV and called out, indicating she went to relax.

"Gangqiu."

Gangbao translated in her mind.

Relaxing? Could Teacher Mikaela be under too much pressure recently? Qiao Sang pondered for a moment and then stopped thinking about it.

The most important thing right now is Tingbao’s shedding.

"Xun Xun..."

Suddenly, Little Treasure Spirit cautiously called out.

Since Old Six needs a day to finish shedding, it can’t complete the 200 points today, does it need training...?

"Ya Ya!"

Before Qiao Sang could speak, Yaobao called out, indicating that the extra time should obviously be spent on training.

After speaking, it stepped towards the direction of the outdoor training field and called out:

"Ya Ya."

Come on, it just needs training too, together.

It knows its Beast Tamer won’t go out until Tingbao finishes shedding.

Little Treasure Spirit: "..."

Little Treasure Spirit gave its Beast Tamer a pitiful look.

Qiao Sang smiled and said, "Go ahead."

Little Treasure Spirit pouted and floated towards the outdoor training field, looking miserable.

...

The next day, at four-thirty in the afternoon.

Qiao Sang sat on the sofa, reading books about Dragon-type Pet Beast shedding.

At this moment, Dragon King switched channels.

The voice of the news anchor was heard:

"Recently, there have been several incidents where Pet Beasts rely on their traits to purposely seek out competitions with those they have an advantage over. Hope everyone participating in the Pet Beast Free Points Battle Competition pays attention to prevent such behavior..."

Qiao Sang listened to the TV and couldn’t help but look up.

She saw the news broadcast accompanied by what was obviously surveillance footage in the upper right corner, showing a yellow Electric Type Pet Beast facing off against three Electric Type Pet Beasts with lightning striking it while it remained unscathed.

Qiao Sang’s memory is remarkable, and almost recognized at first glance that it was the Electric Type Pet Beast that battled Tingbao half a month ago.

This little one, was it inspired by battling Tingbao...

If everyone watches this news, it might be hard to find opponents for Electric Type Pet Beast battles in the future...

"Xun Xun~"

Just as she was thinking this, Little Treasure Spirit floated over while munching on melon seeds, looking at the TV, called out, indicating this was the guy that used to battle Old Six.

"Are opponents easy to find lately?" Qiao Sang asked.

"Xun Xun~"

Little Treasure Spirit called out, indicating it’s manageable, spending some time finding them.

"I fear it won’t be as easy in the future." Qiao Sang said.

"Xun Xun?" Little Treasure Spirit showed a puzzled expression and called out.

Is it because of this news?

Qiao Sang was about to answer when the sofa suddenly moved.

She turned her head and discovered that Tingbao had already woken up, twisting its body.

With its movements, the surface skin separated and shed off.

"Tingbao, you’re awake!" Qiao Sang exclaimed joyfully.

Dragon King turned its head.

"Ting Ting."

Tingbao called and continued twisting its body.

"Xun Xun..."

Little Treasure Spirit watched curiously.

This is shedding...

"Ya Ya!"

At this moment, Yaobao ran over from the direction of the outdoor training field and called out.

Old Six is finally shedding?

It heard the noise outside.

Qiao Sang acknowledged, "It’s shedding right now."

After speaking, she picked up the phone on the coffee table and dialed Teacher Mikaela’s number.

The call wasn’t answered.

However, in the next second, Mikaela and Pen Jiami appeared out of thin air in the living room.

"At this time, when you call, I figured it must be Thunder Dragon shedding." Mikaela said, looking at Tingbao twisting on the sofa.

"As expected of you, knew it all along, no wonder you didn’t answer my call." Qiao Sang smoothly complimented.

Mikaela’s mouth revealed a slight smile.

Being praised by a genius feels different from being praised by an extraordinary person, especially one like Qiao Sang.

About two minutes later, Tingbao finished shedding.

"Ting Ting..."

Tingbao looked left and right, curiously inspecting its post-shedding body.

"It seems your body size has grown quite a bit." Qiao Sang scrutinized Tingbao and said.

Previously, Tingbao appeared to be around two meters one, but now it looks like two meters four, exceeding the size of typical intermediate Pet Beasts.

"Ting Ting."

Tingbao’s eyes brightened, then it twisted its body and flew towards the full-length mirror in the living room.

"With each shedding, the Thunder Dragon’s size will increase." Mikaela stated.

Jaclyn teacher mentioned this... Qiao Sang nodded:

"Understood."

"Xun Xun..."

Little Treasure Spirit gazed at post-shedding Tingbao with envy.

"Ting Ting!"

Tingbao, while admiring itself in the mirror, suddenly thought of something and called out, expressing concern over accumulating the 200 points and urgently needing to find opponents for a match!

Qiao Sang: "..."

Little Treasure Spirit: "..."
