Chapter 663: Taking a Beating

Elma pinched Qiao Sang's arm, feeling the hardness, and said:

"Good, this hardness is enough to start training."

She then turned to Puncher and said, "Start with 20 kilograms of force."

"Jab." Puncher grunted, then turned to pick up a pair of Red boxing gloves and put them on.

What is it going to do... Seeing this, Qiao Sang had a bad feeling in her gut.

The next second, her premonition came true.

Elma said, "Don't be afraid, this force won't hurt you."

Qiao Sang: "……"

"Are you ready?" Elma asked.

Qiao Sang was silent for two seconds, then got into a horse stance. "I'm ready."

Elma nodded at Puncher.

The next second, Puncher swung his fist and hit her.

Qiao Sang's body wobbled, but a single thought flashed through her mind:

It doesn't really hurt...

Suddenly, she remembered something and reminded him, "Don't hit my face."

"Jab." Puncher grunted, acknowledging her request.

He didn't stop, continuing to punch Qiao Sang like she was a punching bag.

At first, Qiao Sang struggled to withstand the force and couldn't stand steady. But after being hit for nearly ten minutes, she managed to remain as immovable as a mountain.

Or, more accurately, she could take the beating without moving.

Elma, standing nearby, didn't forget her coaching duties:

"To strengthen your defensive strength, you need to start with the skin, then the muscles, and finally the bones. What you need to do now is build up your resistance to impact."

"Even though your skin is hard, the force of the impact is real. Once you adapt to the force, you won't need to apply Stinkpuff's Toxin. When your own skin adapts, you can continue applying the Toxin to increase the force of the training."

"Keep training until you can withstand a 200-kilogram punch, and the first round of training will be complete."

At this point, she smiled. "You'll need at least 30 sessions to see results. Why don't you get a membership card? You can pay for the entire first round of training at a 20% discount."

Qiao Sang didn't hesitate. "Sure, I'll get a card."

Elma's smile widened.

At this moment, she glanced at Steel Guardian and said:

"Steel Guardian should train as well."

You just said that... Qiao Sang asked curiously, "Will it train the same way as me?"

Steel Treasure looked at the human called Elma Coach.

Elma shook her head. "Of course not. As a Steel-type Intermediate Beast, Steel Guardian can't train the same way you do."

"Since it's a Bond Evolution, you'll share the pain during battles. It needs to fight stronger opponents and feel the damage. The more you experience, the stronger your defensive strength will become."

Qiao Sang: "……"

Do you think I don't know that?

Qiao Sang, still hopeful, asked, "Are there other training methods?"

Elma replied seriously, "This is the fastest way to enhance defensive strength. Beastmasters with Bond Evolution familiars are always the most resilient among their peers, and that's why."

The most resilient... Qiao Sang fell into deep thought.

Elma continued:

"You can also take potions to increase bone density and add Resilience Tonic to your baths. Trust me, your defensive capabilities will improve at an astonishing speed."

"If you train every day and use the potions, I think you can complete the first round of training in just 15 sessions."

Fifteen sessions, one every day for 15 days... Qiao Sang, while enduring the punches from Spiky Punch, thought to herself.

She had to admit, she was tempted.

Although there wasn't anything particularly urgent to do right now, time was precious, and saving even a little bit was beneficial. She could use the extra time for other things...

Steel Treasure rarely engaged in practical combat, and this training would allow it to release skills and quickly increase proficiency. Plus, as long as she could endure the pain, her own defensive strength would improve as well—two birds with one stone.

If she did suffer internal injuries, it wouldn't matter since Lulu was around...

Qiao Sang gritted her teeth. "I understand. Let's do it your way."

Steel Treasure glanced at its Beastmaster, its eyes seeming to say: You still have to tough it out.

Qiao Sang understood Steel Treasure's meaning and averted her gaze, feeling a bit embarrassed.

Elma smiled. "Then let my Stinkpuff battle it."

She was about to call Stinkpuff to start.

Qiao Sang refused. "No, let my Ghost Ring do it."

Since it was combat training anyway, she might as well let Treasure Seeker handle it. That way, she could supervise Treasure Seeker, who had been too lazy lately, especially compared to Lulu.

So, it's called Ghost Ring... Elma glanced at the Ghost-type Companion Beast whose species name she couldn't recall and said:

"However, Steel Guardian must fight a stronger familiar."

"Xunxun?!"

At the sound of this, the Treasure Seeker was not pleased.

It widened its eyes and floated in front of Elma, gesturing angrily.

Open your eyes and look! It's stronger than the Fourth One!

Elma couldn't understand what the Treasure Seeker was trying to say, but she could tell that the Ghost-type Companion Beast named Ghost Ring was upset. She cautiously took a step back.

Qiao Sang coughed.

"Ghost Ring is an Advanced Familiar."

Advanced Familiar? Elma looked at the Grayfamiliar in front of her, surprised.

Such a small Advanced Familiar?

"Xunxun!"

The Treasure Seeker crossed its arms and turned its head to the side, letting out a cold snort.

"I'm sorry", Elma apologized. "I didn't know it was an Advanced Familiar."

"It's fine. It's Blue Star's familiar, so it's normal that you wouldn't know", Qiao Sang said with a smile.

Elma was taken aback.

Blue Star's familiar?

Blue Star?!

"Jab."

Just as Elma was lost in thought, Spiky Punch lowered his fist and stopped the punching.

Elma snapped back to reality and thought of something. She checked the time and said:

"The Hardening effect from Toxin is about to wear off. You can take a break, and we'll continue with the steps later."

"Okay." As Qiao Sang spoke, she moved her arms. She noticed that her skin was no longer hard, and while it didn't hurt as much, there was still a lingering soreness from the punches.

As she moved, she thought of Steel Treasure.

"Go ahead." Qiao Sang looked at the Treasure Seeker and said, "Treasure Seeker, just use Tile Split for the attacks."

Among the Treasure Seeker's attack skills, apart from the Advanced Skill Psychic Hammer, Tile Split was the one with the lowest proficiency. Using this move, Steel Treasure should be able to hold out for a while.

"Xunxun."

The Treasure Seeker nodded, instantly forgetting its earlier irritation. It floated to the side and called out, signaling that it was ready to begin.

"Steel Guardian."

Steel Treasure stood opposite the Treasure Seeker.

In the next second, the Treasure Seeker raised its claws and condensed a beam of solid White Energy, slashing it across Steel Treasure's body.

Steel Treasure didn't dodge.

It knew the purpose of this training.

Qiao Sang inwardly thought, "Damn, that hurts", but she bit her lip and didn't cry out.

"Steel Treasure, this is combat training. You can still move", Qiao Sang said after the pain subsided.

Getting hit during combat and standing still to take hits were different.

The former not only trained defensive strength but also improved other aspects, while the latter was purely about enduring pain and strengthening defense.

"Steel Guardian."

Steel Treasure instantly understood its Beastmaster's meaning. Its body turned into a gleaming iron-gray, absorbing most of the Tile Split's attack power.

Qiao Sang felt a sense of relief.

At that moment, Elma looked over with a shocked expression.

"How did your Ghost-type Companion Beasts learn combat skills?"

Qiao Sang replied, "I just taught it Tile Split."

Is it that simple?!

But isn't it a Ghost-type Companion Beast?

Elma was a bit bewildered.

Although the Beastmasters here were all from high society and their familiars were all good, she had never seen a Ghost-type Companion Beast that could learn combat skills...

Blue Star's Ghost-type Companion Beast, and it knows Tile Split...

Steel Sparrow's newest form...

At that moment, Elma suddenly realized that the girl in front of her might be one of the more unique individuals in the upper echelons of society.

An hour later, the training ended.

During this time, Qiao Sang went through the process of being beaten three times after applying Toxin.

Elma handed over an elegant handbag.

"Inside are seven bottles of Fitness Tonic and seven bottles of Resilience Tonic. The Fitness Tonic is for consumption, and the Resilience Tonic is to be used in your bath water. Use one bottle of each per day. Here you go."

Qiao Sang asked, "How much do they cost?"

Elma smiled. "Since you've booked my class, these costs are already included. You just need to book my class again when you come next time."

No wonder it's the second most expensive... Qiao Sang took the bag. "I understand."
