Beast taming, starting from zero point-Chapter 252 - 240 Barehanded Tile Splitting
Chapter 252: Chapter 240 Barehanded Tile Splitting
Chapter 252: Chapter 240 Barehanded Tile Splitting
Chopping tiles barehanded, while the term implies using one’s hands, isn’t meant to be taken literally.
Originally, Chopping Tiles was a physical mystique of Combat Series pet beasts, but in the second Interstellar Cup, a prodigy named Yilier used a Bug-Type Pet called Masked Black Spider to shatter an Aurora Curtain conjured by a Psychic Beast, defeating the opponent and becoming famous in a single battle.
The key mystique used to break the Aurora Curtain was Chopping Tiles.
Since Chopping Tiles can destroy light walls, reflective barriers, and other wall-type skills, shattering the Aurora Curtain wasn’t surprising; what was astonishing was that it was a Bug-Type Pet that used it.
As everyone knows, attributes are a crucial choice in combat, and the Bug series has always been recognized by Beast Tamers as the weakest attribute.
Even if there are a few rare and formidable Bug-Type Pets, it doesn’t change the fact that Bug types are the weakest.
After all, exceptions can’t represent an entire species.
Yet, the fact that Masked Black Spider, not considered rare and without any Combat attributes, managed to use Chopping Tiles to defeat a Psychic Beast practically shocked everyone who was watching the Interstellar Cup at the time.
Later, in a post-competition interview, Yilier explicitly said that any pet beast, not just those of the Combat Series, could master fighting mystiques if they worked hard enough.
Once these words were out, they immediately sparked a combat craze with some people even managing to teach their pet beasts combat skills.
Even the Beast Tamers who didn’t teach combat skills to their pets posted online, saying that their pet beasts had become much more resilient to hits.

From then on, the event Chopping Tiles with bare hands officially entered the public’s view and became a common sports event in universities.
Even so, it was the first time for a Spectral-type Pet to participate in Chopping Tiles at Shengshui Middle School.
Before school was even dismissed, the news had spread throughout the entire school.
Everyone knew that Qiao Sang from high year one class one was going to use a Treasure-seeking Ghost to compete in Chopping Tiles at the sports meet.
“Did you hear? That super-cool new student from the opening ceremony is going to take part in the sports meeting.”
“I know, the event is Chopping Tiles, and she’s using a Treasure-seeking Ghost.”
After the news spread.
“Did you hear? Qiao Sang’s Treasure-seeking Ghost can also perform Combat Series skills.”
“No way, that’s so badass!”
The ultimate version that was passed around in the end.
“Did you hear? Qiao Sang from high year one class one, the one who trounced us at the opening ceremony, her Treasure-seeking Ghost knows Combat Series Chopping Tiles, and it’s pretty skilled.”
“What? Qiao Sang’s Treasure-seeking Ghost is going to use Chopping Tiles to thrash all the Combat Series pet beasts in our school?!”
…
In Tianjing Garden, number 1075.
Qiao Sang and her little Treasure-seeking Ghost were staring at each other, wide-eyed.
“So you wanted to compete in Chopping Tiles barehanded just because you saw that video?” Qiao Sang asked through clenched teeth.
“Xun Xun!”
The little Treasure-seeking Ghost pushed the smartphone forward and pointed at the Golden Glove being awarded to the champion pet beast for participating in Chopping Tiles.
How cool that prize is! It wants it!
Qiao Sang took a deep breath to calm herself and delivered the harsh truth, “The prizes for our school’s sports meet aren’t like that.”
“Xun…”
The little Treasure-seeking Ghost froze on the spot, as if struck by a bolt of lightning.
“Yao.”
Yaobao called out from the side, as if to offer its condolences.
Qiao Sang picked up the smartphone and scrolled through the viewing history.

“When did you watch all this on my phone?” Qiao Sang couldn’t help but ask, looking at the browser history on her phone.
“Xun Xun…”
Xiao Xunbao, the treasure-seeking ghost, answered with a dejected expression, obviously not having recovered from the setback just yet.
“You didn’t spend the whole night watching videos, did you?” Qiao Sang flipped through the record, unable to find what she had left.
“Xun…”
Xiao Xunbao shook its head.
It had also played with the virtual helmet.
It’s hard to believe you still remembered to charge the phone after watching. Qiao Sang had not discovered this for so long… She put down her phone and said, “Anyway, since we’ve signed up, we need to train properly. We don’t have to be first, but let’s not be the absolute last either.”
“Xun…”
Xiao Xunbao responded listlessly.
Seeing this, Qiao Sang cheerfully said, “What’s the big deal? It’s just a Golden Glove. If you win, I’ll go buy it for you as a gift.”
“Xun!”
Xiao Xunbao’s eyes lit up, and it excitedly floated over to rub its cheek against Qiao Sang’s face.
Qiao Sang chuckled.
The Golden Glove might be expensive, but the imitation gold gloves weren’t!
…
Spectral-type pet beasts have no physical bodies, but they can condense energy to form one.
In the courtyard.
“If you want to practice tile-splitting, you need to put your hands together, keep them straight, focus your energy and strength in your hands, and strike from a high position to maximize your power,” Qiao Sang instructed.
“Xun!”
Xiao Xunbao nodded earnestly.
Qiao Sang continued, “When practicing, you have to release your strength in a burst and chop down quickly. Your waist, palm, and arm strength must work together efficiently.”
“Xun…”
Xiao Xunbao looked down at itself.
Does it even have a waist?
Qiao Sang followed its gaze downward, her lips twitching slightly as she added, “What I just said is all from online, it’s about the training method for combat series pet beasts. Our practice won’t be much different, just focus all your strength in your hands, and that’ll do.”
“Xun!”
Xiao Xunbao nodded, indicating it understood.
Then it stared at the stone the size of an egg not far away with determination, and teleported over to strike swiftly.
“Xun!!”
The next second, Xiao Xunbao picked up its own reddened short claws, eyes brimming with tears.
The stone was unscathed.
Qiao Sang: “…”
Qiao Sang had a headache. To be honest, she had no hope of Xiao Xunbao learning how to split tiles. Spectral-type pet beasts weren’t meant for physical attacks, but since they had signed up, they had to practice at least.
It would be too embarrassing if it couldn’t even break a single tile during the competition.
There were other considerations for letting Xiao Xunbao participate in the hand-splitting tile competition.
Although the main reason was that Xiao Xunbao itself wanted to join, upon further thought, practicing tile-splitting could also be considered training for Xiao Xunbao.
Since Xiao Xunbao wanted to train, its focus would naturally be different.
Even if it wouldn’t learn how to split tiles, the process would enhance its courage, resilience to setbacks, and explosive power.
This was the main reason why such a sport existed in the Beast Tamer schools.
“You definitely can’t practice with stones directly; I’ll go online and buy a box of tiles for you to practice with,” Qiao Sang said.
Stones are much harder to break than tiles. Starting with stones would surely damage Xiao Xunbao’s confidence and enthusiasm.
“Xun…”
Xiao Xunbao nodded tearfully.
With 25 days left until the start of the sports meeting, Qiao Sang was not in a rush to have Xiao Xunbao immediately practice tile-splitting. For now, Xiao Xunbao’s primary training was to quickly improve its hypnotism to Mystique level and get ready for evolution.
