Beast Taming: Starting From Zero
Chapter 1074: Masters Challenge Cup
“Fu Lu.”
Fu Lu stood at the door every day, smiling and calling out.
“Xiao Xunbao~”
Xiao Xunbao enthusiastically greeted.
Ya Ke Lin asked with a smile:
“Are Qiao Sang and Mi Jiala inside?”
“Xiao Xunbao~” Xiao Xunbao nodded and pointed inside.
Ya Ke Lin and Fu Lu walked in.
Mi Jiala, hearing the commotion, came down from her room upstairs. When she saw Ya Ke Lin looking energetic, she smiled and said,
“It seems you had a good night’s sleep.”
Ya Ke Lin raised a bright smile and said,
“It’s all thanks to Qiao Sang.”
As she spoke, she remembered the main business, lifted the bag in her hand, and said,
“The Curse of Calamity Envoy hasn’t bothered me again, and I can free up time to do my own things. These are the Energy Pills I’ve prepared for Xiaoting Dragon. Fu Lu has told me all of Xiaoting Dragon’s body data, so there won’t be any mistakes.”
It might take Fu Lu a week to prepare the Energy Pills, but with Ya Ke Lin doing it herself, the time was greatly reduced.
Mi Jiala said to Xiao Xunbao:
“Go call Qiao Sang and Xiaoting Dragon.”
“Xiao Xunbao~”
Xiao Xunbao nodded, then plunged into a black hole and disappeared.
Ya Ke Lin was stunned by this: “Does the Night Ring King usually use Shadow Penetration for movement?”
Mi Jiala explained: “It just incorporates daily movement into its training.”
Ya Ke Lin was immediately filled with admiration.
It’s estimated that only Pets of Di Class students would use Ultra-level skills for such trivial daily matters.
Ya Ke Lin came and sat on the sofa, then thought of something and asked,
“Has Li Ya Weng contacted you?”
Mi Jiala glanced at her: “Why would he contact me?”
“Li Ya Weng and Ossean are also on Yan Tian Star now. If he knew you were also on Yan Tian Star, he would definitely contact you,” Ya Ke Lin said.
Mi Jiala smiled slightly: “My relationship with him isn’t that good.”
During their conversation, Qiao Sang walked in from the outdoor training ground, holding Xiaoting Dragon.
Ya Ke Lin immediately forgot what she was about to say earlier, looked over, and greeted enthusiastically:
“Qiao Sang.”
“Teacher, are Xiaoting Dragon’s Energy Pills ready?” Qiao Sang asked.
“Yes.” Ya Ke Lin nodded slightly, opened the bag, took out the food storage container inside, and said,
“They’re right here. You can let Xiaoting Dragon try them and see if it likes the taste.”
As a professional Trainer, the Energy Pills she prepares not only help the Pet grow well but also ensure the taste is appealing to the Pet.
As she spoke, she scooped a handful of Energy Pills from the storage container and placed them in front of Xiaoting Dragon.
“Try them,” Qiao Sang said.
Xiaoting Dragon lowered its head and took a bite, its eyes lighting up.
After swallowing all the Energy Pills, Xiaoting Dragon nodded and called out:
“Ting Ting.”
Not bad.
“Xiaoting Dragon seems to really like them,” Qiao Sang said with a smile.
“Good that it likes them.” Ya Ke Lin finished speaking, then thought of something and asked, “You participated in the Contracted Tacit Understanding Competition?”
Is this competition that popular? Qiao Sang was a bit surprised: “You’re also watching this competition?”
“I didn’t watch it.” Ya Ke Lin shook her head: “I just saw the promotional poster for the Contracted Tacit Understanding Competition on the way here. Xiaoting Dragon’s photo was on it. I thought that you’re probably the only Yu Beast Master with a Xiaoting Dragon here.”
Xiaoting Dragon was on the promotional poster? Didn’t it only appear in the competition this morning? Qiao Sang was stunned for a moment.
Mi Jiala said calmly:
“Yan Tian Star has many competitions. To attract more people and Pets to watch the competitions, they basically change their promotions every day. The poster Ya Ke Lin saw should feature some Pets that won today’s competitions. As an extraterrestrial Pet, Xiaoting Dragon is a great selling point, so it would naturally be on there.”
“Exactly.” Ya Ke Lin nodded: “I spotted Xiaoting Dragon among all the Pets at a glance.”
So that’s how it is… Qiao Sang suddenly understood.
Xiaoting Dragon continued to eat the Energy Pills without looking up, seemingly uninterested in the conversation.
“Xiao Xunbao…”
Xiao Xunbao, however, showed a regretful expression from the side.
If it could participate in the competition, its image would definitely be on the poster too.
“When is the next competition? If I have time, I’ll come cheer for you,” Ya Ke Lin said.
“Tomorrow morning at 9:30,” Qiao Sang said.
The second round of the competition, like the preliminaries, would have the remaining 128 contestants compete together.
…
The next day, 9:30 AM.
Qiao Sang quickly washed up, ate breakfast, and then left with Mi Jiala.
After opening the door, a familiar pungent smell assailed her nostrils.
Xiao Xunbao picked up the bouquet and disappeared from its spot. Three seconds later, it appeared out of thin air and called out:
“Xiao Xunbao~”
The flowers had already been taken to the outdoor training ground by it.
“Well done,” Qiao Sang praised, opening her navigation.
This time, she didn’t take a taxi or a rented mount Pet; instead, she chose to ride on Ya Bao’s back.
Ya Bao’s enlarged form was too eye-catching, attracting onlookers whether on the road or in the air. However, as long as Xiao Xunbao stayed on Ya Bao’s back, it could make Ya Bao invisible through contact.
Mi Jiala glanced at Ya Bao, then silently floated high into the sky, choosing to move independently.
Ya Bao’s speed was much faster than a taxi’s. Even with deliberate control, it only took less than ten minutes to reach the venue.
Ya Ke Lin had a scheduled client this morning and couldn’t come.
Arriving at the entrance of the arena, Qiao Sang dismounted from Ya Bao. She saw Mi Jiala looking at a giant billboard and couldn’t help but look in the same direction.
Master Challenge Cup…
“Master Challenge Cup?” Qiao Sang asked aloud.
“That’s still very far for you. Don’t think about it yet,” Mi Jiala said.
Qiao Sang: “…”
I wasn’t thinking, I was just curious…
“Is it a competition that only Yu Beast Masters can participate in?” Qiao Sang asked.
“No, it’s a competition for Yu Beast Masters who want to become Yu Beast Masters,” Mi Jiala replied.
A Yu Beast Master is a title given to the few most outstanding Yu Beast Masters in the World Yu Beast Championship.
Qiao Sang had a rough understanding of it.
Mi Jiala continued: “The standards for participating in the World Yu Beast Championship are very high, and the spots are controlled by various countries. Some powerful Yu Beast Masters want to participate but can’t even register. However, if one can win the Master Challenge Cup, they can exceptionally participate in the World Yu Beast Championship, regardless of which country, academy, organization, club, or as an individual they represent.”
After listening, Qiao Sang sighed: “That’s quite a long way for me.”
One must know that those who can participate in the World Yu Beast Championship are all A-grade Beastmasters with world rankings. She isn’t even an A-grade Beastmaster yet.
“There will be a chance in the future,” Mi Jiala finished, withdrawing her gaze and stepping into the arena.
Qiao Sang followed, holding the now-small Ya Bao, carrying Lu Bao on her back, and with Xiaoting Dragon hanging around her neck. (End of this chapter)
