Beast Taming: Starting From Zero

Chapter 314: He was almost a student from our school!

Most competitions are lively and exhilarating, with battles between Pets and contests between Yu Beast Masters often igniting people’s emotions.

Among them, the thrilling reversals where the weak overcome the strong and the fierce clashes between evenly matched opponents are the most explosive.

The people present were mostly leaders from various schools, and they had seen countless matches.

They usually had no reaction to predictable, unexciting preliminary matches like these.

They only watched carefully to analyze the contestants from other schools.

Their emotions only changed when it concerned students from their own school.

But at this moment, this preliminary match, which was neither a weak-overcoming-strong nor an evenly-matched one, caused the entire B-zone to fall silent for a few seconds before a clamor rose like dust.

“Did you see that? Did you see that?! What’s going on with this Yan Ling Dog? Does it have eyes in the back of its head?!”

“How did it do that? How did it instantly teleport onto the Sea Nibbling Ferrets?!”

“This Yan Ling Dog’s combat awareness is too strong!”

“When the Torrent ability came out, I thought there was a chance, but I didn’t expect Qiao Sang from Saint Water Middle School to give the opponent no chance of a comeback…”

“To be honest, Zhou Jing from Pinghai High School isn’t bad either, she just had bad luck and ran into a monster.”

“By the way, I had no impression of this Zhou Jing during the previous two competitions, I only remember she had a Pet from another region. I didn’t expect her to perform so well this year.”

“Normal. You probably only started watching the competitions live in the last two years.”

“How do you know?”

“Because the third year of high school is the last National Campus Pet Beast League for these students. Every time it’s the third year of high school, many people start to work extra hard, and quite a few unexpected talents emerge. If you’ve accompanied a group of students through the National Campus Pet Beast League from their first year of high school all the way to their third year, you’d definitely know.”

“What about someone like Qiao Sang? Will a few suddenly emerge in their third year of high school too?”

“…Do you think monsters are that easy to come by?”

The next four matches held no suspense. Even though Pinghai High School sent out Water-type Pets, Yabao, besides its Fire-type, also possessed a powerful Superpower System.

While Water-type can counter Fire-type, everything depends on whether the skills can hit.

If they don’t hit, it’s all talk.

With its Psychic and Teleportation abilities, no Water-type move could get close.

All 18 points were secured.

Qiao Sang sat in the Saint Water High School’s contestant area, waiting for Xu Yixuan to finish her match.

Beside her, He Datao was engrossed in his phone, his expression serious.

“What are you looking at?” Qiao Sang asked.

He Datao didn’t look up: “The schools we’re competing against tomorrow. I’m checking the forums for information on their School Team members.”

Losing two matches today had really spurred him on.

“Which school are we facing tomorrow?” Qiao Sang asked.

The list of all participating schools in A2 had already been released, but Qiao Sang usually only looked up her next opponent after finishing the day’s matches.

“Hanggang Sixth Beast Taming Middle School,” He Datao replied.

Qiao Sang was stunned for a moment: “Which one?”

“Hanggang Sixth Beast Taming Middle School,” He Datao repeated, then turned and said, “Haven’t you heard of it? It’s in our city.”

He paused here: “But then again, this school isn’t highly ranked, it’s not very famous.”

Qiao Sang: “…”

How could she not know? She almost became a student at that very school…

“You guys just don’t know! This Qiao Sang almost became a student at our school!” On the spectator stands, Vice Principal Chen Shengtang of Hanggang Sixth Beast Taming Middle School said with a pained expression.

“Old Chen, don’t joke around like that.” The person next to him said speechlessly, “Who is Qiao Sang? Her brain domain developed to the green star array level in her first year of high school, and among her contracted Pets, there’s a Yan Ling Dog. You just saw her strength. I even think she went to Saint Water Middle School because of household registration restrictions. Go to your school? You’re dreaming.”

“I’m telling the truth!” Chen Shengtang said excitedly, “She came to our school to have her brain domain checked, wanting to be specially recruited. Our school’s Teacher Zhao was in charge of the testing! I was there the whole time!”

Qiao Sang was the only autonomously awakened special recruit to apply to their school since its establishment!

How could he forget!

After Qiao Sang finished her test at their school, he was so excited for several days that he couldn’t sleep, eagerly awaiting the new student’s arrival!

But he never expected her to go to Saint Water Middle School!

Heaven knows how shocked and indignant he was when he saw Qiao Sang in the third-year high school section of the National Campus Pet Beast League today!

If Qiao Sang had never come to their school, it would have been fine!

But the thought that such a monstrous student could have belonged to their school almost made Chen Shengtang want to spit blood!

That feeling was like a goddess with whom he had no prior connection suddenly asking if he wanted to get married, and just as he was overjoyed and had everything ready, he heard the news that the goddess had registered with a high-quality mistress!

It was too upsetting!

Even more upsetting was that he himself had to admit that any person with good eyesight would choose that mistress!

The person next to him said at this moment, “Old Chen, I naturally believe there was such a person, but is it possible you misidentified her, and this Qiao Sang just has the same name and looks similar to the child who went to your school?”

Chen Shengtang: “…”

After returning to the dormitory in the Pet Beast Training Base, Qiao Sang clasped her hands and summoned Xiao Xunbao.

Xiao Xunbao, somehow having learned the competition rules, knew that Pets participating in the day’s matches had to be summoned on-site to battle. So, early in the morning, he actively requested to enter the yu beast codex.

Of course, Qiao Sang was unaware of this.

“Xun!”

As soon as Xiao Xunbao appeared, he spun in mid-air full of energy, then put his claws on his hips, stared forward, and grinned, revealing a smile that made one want to punch him.

But the next second, his smile froze.

“Xiao Xunbao?!”

Why was Big Brother Yabao standing in front?

“Ya?”

Yabao was confused, showing a bewildered expression.

What was wrong with him standing? Was it strange?

“Xun.”

Xiao Xunbao was stunned for a moment, then looked around and realized he wasn’t on the competition grounds.

“Aren’t you supposed to compete tomorrow?” Qiao Sang said, leaning against the headboard of the bed, “Tomorrow hasn’t arrived yet.”

Xiao Xunbao: “???”

“Xiao Xunbao!” Xiao Xunbao argued vehemently.

How could it be! A whole day had already passed!

Qiao Sang said earnestly, “A day is 24 hours. When you told me, it was a little past 3 AM, so a new day had just begun. It’s only ’tomorrow’ after tonight passes.”

Xiao Xunbao: “!!!”

Xiao Xunbao swayed unsteadily in mid-air, looking as if he was doubting his existence.

Qiao Sang’s conscience kicked in, and she sat up, gently stroking Xiao Xunbao’s head as she said warmly:

“Study hard from now on.”

Xiao Xunbao: “.”
