Beast Taming: Starting From Zero
Chapter 169: Yulong Military Academy
Qiao Sang was quite speechless.
She never expected the Dreamless Doll and the Three-Eyed Ghost Cicada to believe such a ridiculous claim: that if they passed through Lost Town, they would find a legendary Pet that could grant wishes.
And she was scared into a cold sweat by these two simpletons?
Qiao Sang composed herself. Although these two wild Pets seemed a bit foolish in some aspects, it was undeniable that their combat abilities were excellent.
Especially the Three-Eyed Ghost Cicada.
Without a Yu Beast Master, it continuously unleashed skills, both countering Yabao’s attacks and finding opportunities to sneak attack her, showing its rich combat experience.
Inside the secret realm, there were many wild Pets, so it was estimated that fights broke out every other day.
Qiao Sang came to a realization.
Sure enough, Pets still needed practical combat to improve.
Simply practicing skill release could only improve skill proficiency, but for nerve reactions, spatial control, body balance control, and flexible responses to an opponent’s offensive methods, all had to be improved through actual combat.
For example, when Yabao released Mars Rain just now, even though Mars Rain was a high-level skill, the Dreamless Doll’s mid-level skill, Strange Light, could interrupt it.
No matter how high the skill level, if it couldn’t be released, it was useless.
If there hadn’t been today’s battle, and they had just simply explored the secret room, Yabao’s mental power would not have increased so rapidly, allowing its main body and clone to simultaneously release different skills.
It seemed that a portion of the upcoming training time would have to be dedicated to actual combat…
…
The police officers taking notes for Qiao Sang were all familiar faces.
With a question and answer, the statement was quickly completed.
Just as Qiao Sang stood up to leave, a male police officer with proper features next to her said with a smile, “You’re from Saint Water Middle School, right? How about it, have you decided which university you want to attend?”
Qiao Sang was stunned for a moment. She knew the police officer who asked her this question; he had led the team of police officers who went to the secret room earlier. He was the Team Leader of the Hanggang City Public Security Bureau, surnamed Liu.
“I haven’t thought about it. My first year of high school hasn’t even started yet,” Qiao Sang answered honestly.
“I know, but there are some geniuses now who get into university in their first year of high school. I don’t think you’re any worse than them,” Liu Zhezhen said. “I wonder if you’re interested in joining the Imperial Dragon Military Academy.”
“If you’re willing, I can report it. As long as you pass the assessment, you can sign a commissioned training contract. Then you won’t need to take the college entrance examination and can directly enter the Imperial Dragon Military Academy for study.”
Qiao Sang was dumbfounded. She naturally knew about the Imperial Dragon Military Academy.
The Imperial Dragon Military Academy was the first military school in Dragon Country.
It had a long history, not only cultivating numerous military talents but also fostering and producing many politicians, entrepreneurs, and scientists for Dragon Country, making it world-renowned.
If it weren’t for commissioned training, but rather if she had gotten in by herself through the college entrance examination, she would naturally pack her bags and go.
But this was commissioned training…
Commissioned training, as the name suggested, was when higher education institutions were commissioned by employers to cultivate talent for them. The commissioning unit provided funding, the higher education institution was responsible for cultivation, and students directly worked for the commissioning unit after graduation.
This meant that after graduating from the Imperial Dragon Military Academy, she could only work at the Hanggang City Public Security Bureau.
In her previous life, this would naturally have been a promising path.
But this was the Yu Beast world. Having come here with such difficulty, how could she stay in Hanggang City all the time? Moreover, her future development path would also be limited.
Without time to participate in competitions, without time to go to secret realms, how could she become a professional Yu Beast Master and participate in the Interstellar Cup?
Perhaps sensing Qiao Sang’s hesitation, Liu Zhezhen continued:
“You can go back and think about it, or discuss it with your family. You don’t have to answer me immediately. Let’s exchange contact information, and you can contact me whenever you’ve made up your mind.”
“Thank you, Team Leader Liu!” Qiao Sang said gratefully.
A Team Leader of a city’s Public Security Bureau might be considered someone important in the local city, but in the Imperial Dragon Military Academy, he would definitely not be enough. It wouldn’t be so simple for him to get a commissioned training spot.
After exchanging contact information, Liu Zhezhen held his water cup and smiled:
“This time, you’ve helped our city solve two major dangers. When you start school, the bureau will send a banner to your school to give you some face.”
“Isn’t that too much trouble?” Qiao Sang politely declined. “This is all what I should do. If I hadn’t defeated them at the time, I would have been in danger myself.”
“There’s also a bonus.”
“Thank you, Team Leader Liu!”
After saying that, Qiao Sang paused and reminded him, “My school starts on September 1st.”
Liu Zhezhen: “…”
After Qiao Sang left, a young police officer who had been listening to the conversation couldn’t help but ask, “Team Leader Liu, I admit she’s a genius, but this spot was obtained at the risk of life. Isn’t it too hasty to just give it away like that?”
Liu Zhezhen glanced at him and said in a deep voice, “Go watch the surveillance footage just retrieved from the secret room, and you’ll know why.”
…
After leaving the Public Security Bureau, Qiao Sang prepared to go to the Yu Beast Center.
Although some areas and positions in the Yu Beast Center were already off-duty, the medical area was staffed 24 hours a day.
Little Treasure Hunting Ghost was injured, so she naturally had to go see it.
Qiao Sang called a car on her phone.
While waiting for the car, Fang Sisi held her Cotton Section Worm and said earnestly, “What do you think of my Cotton Section Worm?”
Qiao Sang turned her head to look, and the Cotton Section Worm also blinked its large round eyes and looked back.
The Cotton Section Worm had now been washed clean, revealing its original appearance. Its body color couldn’t be seen in the night, but its size, which was twice as fat as it was over a month ago, showed that this Cotton Section Worm had been well-cared for.
Qiao Sang was stunned for a moment: “I think it’s pretty good.”
She hadn’t expected Fang Sisi’s Cotton Section Worm to be so fat even after being put through such a rough time…
“You see, my Cotton Section Worm is so beautiful. When it evolves into a Ba Fire Butterfly, it will definitely be the most beautiful Ba Fire Butterfly,” Fang Sisi said, blinking her eyes.
“Jie~”
The Cotton Section Worm nodded in agreement.
Qiao Sang was already used to her spontaneous ideas.
Before, she said she wanted the Cotton Section Worm to evolve into a Ba Ghost Butterfly and be with Little Treasure Hunting Ghost, but now she’s changed back to a Ba Fire Butterfly. Wait a minute…
Qiao Sang thought of something, her mouth twitched, and she asked, “What do you want to say?”
Fang Sisi smoothed her hair and said with a giggle, “What do you think about my Cotton Section Worm evolving into a Ba Fire Butterfly and then marrying your Yan Ling Dog?”
“…Get lost.”
Her guess was indeed correct…
…
Tianjingyuan 1705.
It was already past midnight when Qiao Sang returned home. Fortunately, she had slept for a whole morning, so she wasn’t too tired.
Yabao’s sleep quality had always been good; even after a fierce battle at night, it didn’t affect its sleep schedule.
Little Treasure Hunting Ghost seemed as energetic as usual after leaving the Yu Beast Center.
Except for one thing…it no longer stayed on her head.
Qiao Sang was puzzled until she went to the bathroom and looked in the mirror.
“Little Treasure Hunting Ghost!!”
“Xun~”
Little Treasure Hunting Ghost covered its chest, where it had been hit by the Three-Eyed Ghost Cicada’s Shadow Ball, and pretended to be in pain.
Qiao Sang: “…”
Never mind, it was just her hair getting dirty. It would be fine after washing, it was nothing…
