Beast taming, starting from zero point-Chapter 962 - 781: The String Has Broken

Lubao seems to be in decent condition... Qiao Sang looked at the figure that visually appeared dozens of times larger than usual, and felt reassured.

But soon she realized that Lubao probably hadn’t absorbed energy to its later stage yet, and concern crept into her eyes.

Billet was right—Lubao could use Healing Light. Theoretically speaking, even if its talent wasn’t enough, it would still have the highest likelihood of directly absorbing energy to the stage of Completion.

Moreover, with Lubao’s personality, it would definitely do so.

But it was currently in an energy absorption state—if it forcefully absorbed energy later, and simultaneously had to channel energy to heal its injuries, it would undoubtedly be excruciatingly painful.

After all, the injuries were caused by energy...

Just as she was thinking, a yellow giant bird flew straight toward her, holding a squirming and struggling worm in its beak.

Before Qiao Sang could react, the yellow giant bird stopped right next to her and spat the worm downward, chirping twice.

This... Feeling the worm wriggling at her feet, Qiao Sang froze for a moment.

I’ve transformed into a bird?

This giant bird wants me to eat worms?

Qiao Sang lowered her head, instinctively analyzing the situation.

After surviving in the Beast Taming World for more than a year, her courage had grown exponentially. Even as the worm was only 0.01 centimeters away from her feet... Or rather, her claws—it seemed she really had transformed into a bird... she didn’t feel particularly scared.

After all, in her previous life, she always kept her distance from creatures like worms...

At this moment, the yellow giant bird suddenly picked up the worm again and moved closer to Qiao Sang’s mouth.

"Chirp chirp!"

"!!!"

Startled, Qiao Sang’s thoughts froze, and she recoiled abruptly.

Wanting her to eat a worm was one thing, but actually being forced to eat one was another!

She flapped her wings, trying to get away, but this body seemed to still be that of a young bird—not fully developed yet. After just two flaps, Qiao Sang plummeted back to the tree branch.

The yellow giant bird approached her again, worm in beak.

As the squirming worm got closer to her mouth, a flood of thoughts overwhelmed Qiao Sang’s mind.

Should I just jump off the tree?

But this body is a young bird—if I fall from this height, I might die...

Ah!

Lubao, save me!

I don’t want to eat live worms!

"Bing’ai!"

Just as Qiao Sang was spiraling into despair, a painful roar echoed.

At the same time, chaotic air currents swept across, bending and tilting the surrounding plants.

The ordinary creatures within hundreds of meters fled in terror.

Including the yellow bird originally intent on feeding her the worm.

Qiao Sang held onto the nearby leaves with her claws and wings, preventing herself from being blown off by the gusts.

When everything settled, Qiao Sang let out a long, relieved sigh.

Thank you, Lubao!

If she wasn’t mistaken, Lubao must have started forcefully absorbing energy just now... Thinking of this, Qiao Sang looked at the distant vortex where Lubao was, her eyes once again filling with concern.

The staff mentioned that the energy absorption process typically takes about two hours, which should be the average absorption time for General-level Pet Beasts.

But it hadn’t even been an hour yet, and Lubao was already at the stage of forcefully absorbing energy.

Either it lacked the necessary talent.

Or, Lubao had been accelerating its energy absorption all along...

Right, they told her before that it was supposed to be a process of soaking and absorbing. Since it’s soaking, the Energy Pool shouldn’t exhibit vortex-like activity. This clearly indicated that Lubao had been accelerating its absorption...

...

"Bing’ai..."

An endless stream of energy surged into Lubao’s body.

With every trace of energy absorbed, Lubao’s body faintly glowed, and its physique slowly expanded.

Under its frenzied absorption, the dense Energy Pool was diluted by more than half, and its rich green hue noticeably faded.

As the energy within its body grew, each strand of energy entering Lubao brought a piercing pain.

Energy flowed in from every direction, and every second spent within the Energy Pool was sheer torment for Lubao.

"Bing’ai!"

Lubao roared, and the gemstone on its forehead emitted a blue light, enveloping its entire body.

All the pain quickly dissipated.

But as the blue light vanished, the sharp pain surged back, spreading through every corner of its body and even deeper within.

"Bing’ai..."

The blue light reappeared, vanished, reappeared, vanished...

Time ticked by. fгeewёbnoѵel.cσm

No one knew how long had passed when Lubao finally began to feel exhaustion setting in.

Is this enough absorption?

But it felt like it could push a little further...

Its Beast Tamer had given it such a precious opportunity...

Absorb it—it had to absorb every last bit, or it would feel like a waste...

Thinking this, the gemstone on Lubao’s forehead lit up with blue light again.

...

Meanwhile.
