Beast Taming: Starting From Zero

Chapter 512: Natural Chasm

After classes concluded in the morning, Qiao Sang headed towards the infirmary.

“Teacher, I’m here to measure my brain domain,” Qiao Sang said as she pushed the door open.

“Wait a moment,” the Young Doctor said. He was examining a Pet whose head and back were covered by a hard wooden shell, and the tip of its tail was brown.

Standing beside him was a male student with a Southeast Asian face.

Qiao Sang glanced at his cuff and saw a white gem.

A first-year student… Qiao Sang found a seat and sat down.

The color of the gems embedded in the uniform cuffs at Sainan High School varied for each grade: white for first year, green for second year, and blue for third year, making them easy to distinguish.

After a thorough examination, the Young Doctor said, “It can be treated, but complete recovery will take until evening.”

The male student frowned:

“I have an outdoor practical class this afternoon. If it’s not well, how can I participate?”

“Jun Jun…”

The Pet with its head covered by a wooden shell lowered its head, as if it had done something wrong.

The Young Doctor carefully phrased, “Jun Jiancao can still battle without problems; it will just be a bit slower in movement than usual, which shouldn’t affect the practical class.”

“Kulcha Angli once said that before going to the battlefield, even a slight discomfort in a Pet could put it at a disadvantage,” the male student raised his head, looking at the Young Doctor, and said earnestly, “Since it would be at a disadvantage, how could it not affect the practical class?”

Qiao Sang’s mouth twitched fiercely.

Is it appropriate to use a famous quote about war for an outdoor practical class? You only have one Beginner Pet. Don’t you know your own level? The teacher won’t let you encounter a Pet far beyond your strength, so what if it moves a little slower… The Young Doctor complained wildly in his mind, while putting on an expression of admiration:

“You are right, it was my oversight.” As he spoke, his expression became troubled:

“However, Jun Jiancao absorbed too much energy, which is blocked inside its body and cannot be dispersed. I can only accelerate the absorption of energy within its body and promote the dissipation of excess energy. This process takes time.”

“If you want to solve this problem in one go, it’s not impossible, but Jun Jiancao is a low-level Pet, and its physical strength won’t be able to handle it. It would still take several hours to recover afterward.”

The male student remained silent, seemingly deep in thought.

“Jun Jun…”

Jun Jiancao lowered its head even further.

“Um…” Qiao Sang spoke up at this moment, “Perhaps I can heal Jun Jiancao directly.”

The two people and one Pet immediately looked over.

The male student asked suspiciously, “Does your Pet have a skill specifically for this kind of treatment?”

Actually, ever since Qiao Sang entered, he had recognized her.

There was a post about her on Sainan High School’s forum yesterday.

The newly arrived Interstellar Exchange Student, the champion of the Blue Star Dragon Country’s Yu Beast Master individual combat in the senior year, was assigned to Senior Three, Class Six, despite being the same age as him.

These titles combined made it hard not to remember her.

If Qiao Sang were from Super Dormant Star, then many people in their circle would definitely flock to her, but unfortunately, she was from Blue Star and would eventually return. Since their lives would have no intersection, there was no need to befriend her.

“Something like that,” Qiao Sang nodded.

“What do you want?” the male student asked, maintaining an attitude of fair trade.

If you ask me like that, I won’t be polite… Qiao Sang smiled, “Just give me points.”

The male student asked, “How many do you want?”

Qiao Sang thought for a moment and said, “Six points.”

The male student decisively turned to the Young Doctor and said, “You treat Jun Jiancao, the first treatment plan is fine.”

Thank you, Exchange Student… The Young Doctor looked at Qiao Sang gratefully, then began the treatment.

Qiao Sang: “…”

After the male student left with Jun Jiancao, Qiao Sang asked with a puzzled expression, “I told him I could heal him directly, why didn’t he let me?”

The Young Doctor smiled and replied, “Points are very important to students at Sainan High School. He wanted Jun Jiancao to fully recover before the outdoor practical class to earn more points. If you ask him for six points, it’s like asking him for 600,000 alliance coins.”

Are points that hard to earn… Realizing this, and thinking about the six points she had deducted, Qiao Sang felt even more heartbroken.

“You’re a specialized student, right?” the Young Doctor asked.

Qiao Sang hummed in affirmation.

“Those who come as Interstellar Exchange Students are basically specialized students,” the Young Doctor smiled. “If you’re a specialized student and want to earn points, it’s easy. Just participate in competitions related to your specialty.”

How do I have time to participate in any competitions… Qiao Sang pouted.

The Young Doctor placed the brain domain detection helmet on Qiao Sang’s head while saying:

“If your brain domain breaks through, your Pet evolves, or you pass the Yu Beast Master level assessment, you can earn points.”

Upon hearing this, Qiao Sang’s spirits immediately lifted: “How many can I get?”

“That depends on your original file,” the Young Doctor said after activating the brain domain detection helmet. “You need to show a breakthrough based on your file.”

“However, for brain domain, if it increases from 8% to 9%, there are no points. Only a major breakthrough like from 9% to 10%, which allows a new blank contract page to appear in the yu beast codex, can earn points.”

Qiao Sang’s heart rate quickened, and she asked again, “How many points can I get for each?”

“You can get…” The Young Doctor looked at the data appearing on the display screen, completely stunned, unable to continue speaking.

How many, tell me… Qiao Sang was getting a little anxious and called out, “Teacher?”

“You wait a moment,” the Young Doctor recovered, pulled out his phone without hesitation, and said, “The brain domain detection helmet is broken, I’ll find someone to fix it first.”

Broken? Qiao Sang turned to look at the display screen.

[39%]

“Where is it broken?” Qiao Sang asked.

The Young Doctor dialed the maintenance department’s phone number, looked up, and happened to see Qiao Sang looking at the display screen.

He was momentarily stunned, thinking, do I even need to say where it’s broken? Can’t you see this data?!

The Young Doctor composed himself and said, “The data displayed is incorrect.”

Qiao Sang, with a desire to learn, asked:

“How can you tell it’s incorrect?”

The Young Doctor could no longer hold back: “39%! It shows 39%!”

Qiao Sang genuinely asked, “Is 39% a problem?”

Tang Yi’s brain domain could increase by 6%, so it’s perfectly fine for mine to increase by 10%.

In her opinion, she, like Tang Yi, had only broken through one bottleneck.

Qiao Sang’s brain domain breakthroughs had always been quite smooth.

First, spontaneous awakening, then a new page appeared in the yu beast codex after a sleep, and later, another page appeared after breaking free from Hypnosis once. So, she truly didn’t feel that brain domain breakthroughs were difficult.

Besides, the next stage for a B-level Beast Tamer requires a brain domain of 50%, which is recognized as a major chasm by Yu Beast Masters. She hadn’t even crossed the “small chasm” of 40%.

Do you know what you’re asking… The Young Doctor’s mouth twitched, and for a moment, he didn’t know how to answer such an obvious question.

Seeing his expression, Qiao Sang suddenly understood a little.

She measured 29% yesterday, and today it’s 39%. Such a large increase in a short time, no wonder others thought it was a problem with the brain domain detection equipment.

Thinking this, Qiao Sang formed hand seals.

The next second, an orange-yellow star array lit up.

The Young Doctor looked at the scene before him, feeling his mind go “buzz” and turn blank.

Orange, orange-yellow star array?!

“Hello, hello, why aren’t you speaking?” The voice from the other end of the phone rang out.

There’s something I need to explain. I’ve actually mentioned this in the group, but some readers haven’t joined or seen the group, so they don’t know.

The announcement I made before about stopping one update for three was actually deleted a long time ago. That announcement stated that I would update in that mode for a period of time.

The key is “a period of time.”

Because at that time, I was actually writing a competition arc, I had inspiration, and I didn’t want the intense competition to be interrupted, so I planned to write a bit more.

Now that the competition is over, I’m returning to the regular mode, so I haven’t continued writing non-stop.

I will still make up for what I owe, but it probably won’t be in the stop-one-update-for-three mode anymore.
