Beast Taming: Starting From Zero

Chapter 532: palm punch boy

Qiao Sang had considered many things, but she never expected an unexpected turn in the very first step of registration.

“You are a D-level Beastmaster; this is an E-level Beastmaster arena, you cannot go up,” the Staff said, glancing at her pet tamer badge and returning it directly, refusing to even open it for detailed information.

Qiao Sang was stunned for a moment: “I was still an E-level Beastmaster before 10 AM this morning…”

“But you are not now,” the Staff gave her a sidelong glance: “As long as you are not an E-level Beastmaster, you do not meet the registration requirements. If you want to compete, go to the D-level Beastmaster arena on the 21st floor.”

A burly black man, at least 1.9 meters tall, standing in the back row, chimed in:

“Exactly! For a D-level Beastmaster like you to come here, isn’t that clearly bullying us?!”

Qiao Sang turned to look at him, speechless.

The burly black man looked at the young girl, who didn’t even reach his chest and had a face full of childishness, and felt a bit awkward. He muttered softly: “I didn’t say anything wrong.”

At this moment, a Staff who had been paying attention to the commotion walked over and asked: “What’s going on?”

The Staff respectfully explained what had happened.

The Staff was a black-haired, black-eyed woman. She looked at the Pet in the girl’s arms, one she had never seen before, and said: “Help her register.”

The Staff hesitated: “But this doesn’t comply with the rules.”

The woman smiled: “Rules are dead.”

After speaking, she turned to Qiao Sang: “There’s no problem letting you go up, but you must only send out two Pets, just like an E-level Beastmaster.”

“No problem!” Qiao Sang immediately nodded.

The expressions of the previously dissatisfied contestants in the back row immediately softened upon hearing this.

After the woman returned to the side, someone approached and asked in a low voice: “Is there anything special about this child?”

“She should be from some family,” the woman said with a smile: “I don’t know how special she is yet, but I’ve never seen the Pet in her arms. Such a Pet can make the atmosphere even more lively.”

After registering, while waiting, Qiao Sang finally understood why the audience here placed so much importance on the outcome of the matches.

Spectators watching the arena matches could place bets.

To put it bluntly, most of the people who came here were gamblers.

When their own interests were tied to the outcome of the match, the audience naturally became frenzied.

“I want to place a bet,” Qiao Sang came to the betting area, pulled out her black gold card, and said with a dashing attitude.

If not now, when else to use the black gold card!

The Staff took the black gold card, looked at it, and was stunned for several seconds, then respectfully handed it back: “We do not allow betting with credit cards here.”

Qiao Sang: “…”

It was the same when she wanted to call a Trainer earlier; why did it feel like she had money but couldn’t spend it?

She pulled two hundred-yuan bills from her pocket and handed them over: “I bet Qiao Sang wins 2-0.”

Having seen the black gold card just now, the Staff showed no other emotion when faced with the current 200 yuan. He respectfully took it: “Please show your pet tamer badge.”

Qiao Sang pulled out her pet tamer badge and handed it over.

Three seconds later, the Staff handed the pet tamer badge back: “I’m sorry, we do not allow contestants to bet on the arena matches they are participating in.”

Qiao Sang: “…”

Qiao Sang helplessly returned to the waiting area to continue waiting. While waiting, she discovered another thing.

That was, a High-level Pet actually appeared on the field!

Qiao Sang suddenly realized.

That’s right, a D-level Beastmaster’s brain domain is developed to at least 20%, but for many Yu Beast Masters, their brain domain stops at a little over ten percent, or even under ten percent, for their entire lives.

An E-level Beastmaster’s brain domain has not broken through to the level of a D-level Beastmaster, but that doesn’t mean their Pet will remain at the Intermediate Pet stage forever.

The Pet has evolved into a High-level Pet, but their own brain domain does not meet the standards for registering and assessing as a D-level Beastmaster.

Such a Yu Beast Master is naturally still an E-level Beastmaster.

Upon realizing this, Qiao Sang couldn’t help but get excited.

Before, her opponents were either her age or only a few years older than her. Soon, her opponents would very likely be decades older than her.

Older age means richer experience.

It seems the E-level Beastmaster arena will be much more interesting than she imagined!

Forty minutes later, Qiao Sang appeared at the command platform, introduced by the Host.

Newcomers of various age groups appeared daily in the E-level Beastmaster arena, and the audience had long been accustomed to this, but that didn’t mean they were indifferent.

“This age is too young, isn’t it! Feels like she’s still a high school student!”

“Hurry and bet on Kash! Money! This round is practically giving away money!”

“Damn it! Betting stops ten minutes before the match, otherwise I’d put all the money I brought today on it!”

“Calm down! Have you forgotten that a kid who looked like a high school student came a while ago, and he had a High-level Pet, making us lose terribly?!”

“There aren’t that many geniuses, and this child looks much younger than that kid. Do you see the Little Steel Falcon next to her? A Little Steel Falcon plus an Intermediate Pet is the most she could have. That white-furred and red-furred Pet next to her should be an Intermediate Pet. Look at how it looks, it has no combat power.”

At this moment, a middle-aged man hesitated: “Why do I feel that the bracelet on that red and white-furred Pet’s paw looks a bit like a miniature shrinking bracelet?”

The person next to him looked over with disdain: “What kind of eyesight is that? Put on some glasses and come back, brother.”

On the arena, Little Steel Falcon flew from the command platform to the field.

Kash was a 36-year-old bald man. He looked at the Little Steel Falcon flying onto the field, then glanced at the girl opposite him, who was clearly still studying, and couldn’t help but grin, looking like “This round is a sure win.”

Then, he formed hand seals, and a gray star array lit up on the ground.

Soon, a Pet about one meter tall, with two protrusions on its head, gray pupils, and white tape wrapped around its hands and neck, appeared on the field.

All the audience who had bet on Kash immediately cheered.

“Palm Charging Kid, Kash’s Palm Charging Kid has appeared again! This is its 32nd appearance in our arena matches,” the Commentator said into the microphone: “It seems contestant Kash is not planning to hold back against contestant Qiao Sang. He immediately summoned his ace Pet in the first match. I wonder how contestant Qiao Sang will respond to Palm Charging Kid, which is one level higher than Little Steel Falcon.”

“Match countdown, 3, 2, 1!”

The moment the mechanical voice echoing throughout the arena ended—

Palm Charging Kid’s body blurred as it shot forward, so fast that its figure was indistinct, rushing directly in front of Little Steel Falcon.

Little Steel Falcon’s expression was calm. When Palm Charging Kid was only one meter away from it, it flapped its wings.

“Whoosh!”

At this moment, Palm Charging Kid swung its fist, condensed with white energy, accompanied by the whistling wind caused by its speed, and punched the location where Little Steel Falcon had been.
