Beast Taming: Starting From Zero

Chapter 179: National Campus Beast Control League

Memories of death suddenly attacked.

Only then did Qiao Sang remember that this Shi Gaofeng was not that Shi Gaofeng, but an Illusory Water Baby disguised as him…

Don’t tell me, besides the voice being different, there was really no difference in appearance.

“Berry!”

After “Shi Gaofeng” spoke, Prickly Berry’s round eyes widened, and the thorns on its body stood on end.

“Shi Gaofeng” was so scared that he quickly covered his mouth, looking pitifully at Prickly Berry and then at Qiao Sang.

Although she didn’t understand what Prickly Berry was saying, Qiao Sang vaguely understood the meaning from their actions.

“It’s okay, your master already told me that he found an Illusory Water Baby to come over, don’t blame it.” Qiao Sang said, looking at Prickly Berry to comfort it.

“Berry.”

Prickly Berry’s thorns instantly smoothed down.

“Illusory!” The “Shi Gaofeng” beside him brightened his eyes and happily called out.

Qiao Sang: “…”

She could bet that Shi Gaofeng was finished…

“Berry!” Prickly Berry put its paws on its hips and sternly lectured “Shi Gaofeng”.

And “Shi Gaofeng” squatted in front of it like a three-year-old child, nodding from time to time.

Qiao Sang couldn’t bear to watch anymore; she could already imagine Zheng Baolong seeing through “Shi Gaofeng” in a second.

Silently mourning for Shi Gaofeng for a second… Qiao Sang went to the side and summoned Ya Bao.

“Ya!”

As soon as Ya Bao came out, it happily rubbed against its Yu Beast Master.

Qiao Sang smiled and stroked its head.

Ya Bao used to accompany her, but now it had to stay in the yu beast codex whenever they went out. Not to mention Ya Bao, even she herself was not quite used to it.

The initial hype was about to die down, but once the news that Yan Ling Dog also possessed Superpower System spread, Ya Bao would probably have to stay in the yu beast codex for a long time again.

As long as a second Yan Ling Dog didn’t appear, Ya Bao would probably be surrounded if it went out. Should she just dye its fur and change its disguise… Qiao Sang fell into deep thought, looking at the magnificent fur in front of her.

“Ya…”

Ya Bao inexplicably felt a chill run through its body.

“Qiao Sang, you’re so early.” Just then, a voice interrupted Qiao Sang’s thoughts.

“I’m only three minutes earlier than you.” Qiao Sang turned to the source of the voice: “How did you complete your task?”

“It can be described as perfect. Little Flame’s performance this time was countless times better than last time. The task publisher even wanted to invite Little Flame to continue being a model next time, but I refused.” Wang Yao walked in front of Qiao Sang, saying proudly.

“Flame.” Big Flame Sparrow proudly raised its head.

“Why did you refuse?” Qiao Sang asked.

“I only took this task to train Little Flame’s patience.” Wang Yao replied: “You don’t know, in combat competitions, it’s fine if we encounter opponents who are willing to fight head-on, but if we encounter opponents who prefer defense, Little Flame will quickly become irritable, sometimes even disobeying my commands, making it easy for others to seize opportunities. Last year, that’s how I lost to Lu Mai from Litang Middle School.”

“Now, after my training, Little Flame’s patience is excellent, so there’s no need to take such boring tasks anymore.”

“Flame.”

Big Flame Sparrow lifted its already high head even higher.

“Then this task must have received a five-star rating, right? It seems you won’t be called out by Zheng Baolong.” Qiao Sang said with a smile.

“No, it’s a four-star rating.” Wang Yao’s face fell.

“Why?” Qiao Sang asked curiously.

Wang Yao said indignantly: “Just because I refused to let Little Flame be a model next time, that guy gave me one less star!”

Qiao Sang: “…”

“But it doesn’t matter, I must be the one who completed the task best, besides you.” Wang Yao finished speaking, then turned to look at “Shi Gaofeng” not far away, lowering her voice and gloating:

“I can guarantee that Shi Gaofeng’s task this time definitely received a bad review. In the past, whenever his tasks received good reviews, he would screenshot them and post them in the group to show off.”

“This time, for five whole days, besides the first day, he hasn’t appeared in the group at all, and he hasn’t sent the promised photo of a handsome guy with eight-pack abs.”

Wang Yao became more and more excited: “I’ll go ask him.”

Qiao Sang’s eyelids twitched, and she advised: “Forget it, Zheng Baolong will be here soon. We should start preparing for training first.”

Wang Yao thought about it and decided that mocking Shi Gaofeng wasn’t urgent, so she agreed.

Qiao Sang secretly breathed a sigh of relief. Illusory Water Baby, I can only help you this much…

……

Ten minutes later.

Everyone was present.

Zheng Guoping held his tablet and commented on each person: “I won’t talk about Qiao Sang; she successfully completed the task on the first day and even received a five-star rating. Look at yourselves, in a whole year, let alone a five-star rating, how many times have your tasks met the standard?”

“I have ten times.” Wang Yao spoke up.

“I have eight times.” Xu Yajie said quietly.

Zheng Guoping’s temple twitched. He was about to scold them, but suddenly remembered that these two had performed quite well in their tasks this time. So, he looked at “Shi Gaofeng”.

“Shi Gaofeng” blinked innocently and met his gaze.

“What about you? How many times have your tasks met the standard?” Zheng Guoping said coldly.

“Shi Gaofeng” opened his mouth, just about to speak.

Just then, Xu Yajie suddenly said: “He can’t speak right now. He felt he did so badly on this task that he cried himself hoarse when he got home.”

“Pfft…” Wang Yao, beside him, couldn’t help but laugh out loud.

He can make up such a ridiculous excuse? Only a fool would believe it… Qiao Sang, who knew the inside story, complained inwardly.

“Heh.” Zheng Guoping sneered: “Do you think that just because you cried yourself hoarse, the result of this task can change? A one-star bad review! You even managed to suck away someone’s abs while doing fat suction! I’ve never had such a terrible student as you!”

“Shi Gaofeng” blinked innocently.

“You need to know that the School Team doesn’t stop functioning without you. Do you know how many people are waiting to take your place? You have no sense of urgency at all. The National Campus Pet Beast League is in two months. If you continue to perform like this in subsequent tasks, I will have to consider replacing you.” Zheng Guoping said sternly.

National Campus Pet Beast League, huh… Qiao Sang fell into deep thought.

Ever since the Vice Principal told her about the middle school Yu Beast combat competition, she had gone online to learn more about it in detail.

The National Campus Pet Beast League is the oldest and most widespread middle school Yu Beast competition in the country.

The competition adopts a centralized tournament system, covering provinces, municipalities directly under the central government, and autonomous regions nationwide.

The competition is divided into three stages: provincial qualifiers, regional qualifiers, and the grand finals.

Winning the provincial first place against Litang Middle School was the first stage of the provincial qualifiers.

There are many Yu Beast campus competitions within the province, but only this one receives the most attention from all parties and has the highest prestige.

As long as one breaks through the provincial qualifiers of the National Campus Pet Beast League and participates in the final grand finals, achieving a top three ranking, they can be directly recruited by various Top Universities without needing to take the college entrance examination or any special recruitment tests.

It could be said to be a very impressive competition.

Zheng Guoping frowned tightly and said: “This time, you will go run twenty laps on the playground. Next time, it won’t be as simple as just running. Did you hear me?”

“Shi Gaofeng” blinked his eyes and didn’t speak.

Zheng Guoping’s veins bulged, no longer able to suppress his anger, and he said loudly: “Even if your voice is hoarse! You can still nod and shake your head, right! I’m asking you one more time, did you hear me?!”

“Shi Gaofeng” was startled by the shout and quickly nodded: “Illusory!”

As expected… Qiao Sang was not surprised at all.
