Chapter 706: Steel Cut Giant Falcon

Yu Liandun University’s official website has a dedicated page for the Top 100 Ranking, where you can click to see the names, majors, and specific achievements of the people on the list.

New students might not be very clear, but the older students knew on the day the Top 100 Ranking was updated that a new student named Qiao Sang had replaced El Ananno, who was ranked 100th.

So, the moment they heard her name, everyone looked over.

Looking at the black-haired girl not far away, with a youthful face and holding a red Pet in her arms, everyone’s eyes held curiosity, scrutiny, and even a hint of resentment.

The Top 100 of the Beast Taming Department have almost always been fourth-year and fifth-year students, and everyone’s strength is obvious to all; there has never been an example of someone directly entering the Top 100 Ranking without even a challenge.

But now, this example has appeared, and it’s a first-year new student.

The black youth, who was El Ananno, rushed over immediately, scrutinized the girl in front of him, and raised his chin:

“You are the new student who replaced me in the Top 100 Ranking?”

“Hey, hey, hey, aren’t you going to fight that 99th-ranked person…?” Qiao Sang internally complained, but her expression remained normal:

“It’s me.”

El Ananno went straight to the Point: “I want to challenge you.”

Qiao Sang asked: “Did you apply?”

El Ananno was stunned for a moment, then explained:

“I applied, but the teacher in charge said you haven’t officially moved in yet, so it wasn’t approved.”

“Then let’s talk about it after your application is successful,” Qiao Sang said, then left with Ya in her arms without looking back.

Her steps grew faster and faster, fearing that if she slowed down even a little, she would be surrounded by a group of fourth-year and fifth-year students inviting her to battle.

Although she had already thought this through and understood that accepting battles would allow her Point to accumulate together, it was definitely not a good idea to battle immediately after Ya and the others had expended energy in group battles this morning.

She was accustomed to fighting battles she was confident in, and even when facing older students from the fourth and fifth years, she didn’t want to lose the match because her Pet was not in optimal condition.

El Ananno watched Qiao Sang’s retreating back and did not chase after her.

What the other party said was correct; the challenge had to be successfully applied for the battle’s result to be effective, otherwise, it would only be considered a sparring session, a waste of time.

Looking at her appearance, she seems quite a bit younger than a normal first-year new student; could she have skipped grades…? El Ananno’s expression was unreadable.

The blonde senior sister beside him waved her hand:

“It was so hard to help you catch her, but I didn’t expect your application to still be unsuccessful.”

Her tone was familiar, clearly indicating she knew the other person.

El Ananno glanced at her:

“Thank you this time.”

“Thank me for what?” The blonde senior sister smiled, “I also really want to see what kind of strength a new student who can enter the Top 100 at the start of the school year truly possesses.”

At this moment, Sun Qiyan shouted from behind:

“What, aren’t you clamoring to battle me anymore?”

El Ananno turned his head and sneered: “I’ll come find you after I get back the dormitory that originally belonged to me.”

Sun Qiyan snorted and turned to return to his dormitory.

Seeing that there was no more excitement to watch, everyone dispersed.

One minute later, a post titled # ChapterPreliminary Clash Between New and Old Top 100 of the Beast Taming Department# Chapter appeared on Yu Liandun University’s forum.

…

Qiao Sang left the residential area, saw no one following her, and said to the air beside her:

“Xiao Xunbao, let’s go home.”

“Xiao Xunbao~”

Xiao Xunbao appeared, called out, and blue light flickered in her eyes.

The next second, Qiao Sang and Ya disappeared from their original spot.

When Qiao Sang’s eyes regained their light, she found herself back in the rented villa.

She formed hand seals and immediately summoned Lu and Steel Treasure.

“How do you feel about school?” Liu Yao, who was busy in the kitchen, looked at the girl who had appeared out of thin air, didn’t stop what he was doing, and asked with a smile.

Qiao Sang replied while forming hand seals: “It’s pretty good.”

Steel Treasure’s next evolution form is confirmed, Lu has accumulated a lot of Point, and her score was first in the entire department.

“Ya!” Ya remembered how her Mars Rain had been countered this morning and ran towards the outdoor training ground.

“Xiao Xunbao!”

Xiao Xunbao, who was beside her, saw the two computers on the coffee table, her eyes lit up, and she eagerly floated over, condensing a Substitute.

When Qiao Sang turned her head, she saw two identical Ghost Ring Kings clattering away on the keyboards.

Now that she was at school, the time for practicing Substitute every day was not as long as before, but according to the progress, Xiao Xunbao’s Substitute should reach the peak of Profound Meaning in about three more days… Qiao Sang withdrew her gaze and returned to her room.

Lu and Steel Treasure silently followed.

Qiao Sang half-lay on the bed, her consciousness entering the yu beast codex.

The page turned, quickly reaching the one about Steel Treasure.

It was different from what she had seen when she entered the yu beast codex last night.

At this moment, the four characters “Steel Slash Giant Falcon” were added after the species name “Steel Guardian Falcon.”

It seems Steel Guardian Falcon’s next stage is Steel Slash Giant Falcon… Qiao Sang’s gaze shifted downwards, she glanced at the proficiency of the Iron Wall skill, then her consciousness returned to reality.

As soon as she opened her eyes, she saw Steel Treasure practicing Iron Wall calmly and Lu staring at her unmoving.

“What’s wrong?” Qiao Sang looked at Lu and asked.

“Ice Ke?”

Lu called out, indicating when they were going to play Aquatic High-Altitude Competition today?

Qiao Sang thought for a moment and said: “8 PM, I guess.”

She had to eat after returning from school, and she had an appointment with the Forging Worm to come over; she wouldn’t have time until at least 8 PM.

“Ice Ke.”

Lu nodded, indicating it was fine, then turned and jumped into the water tank.

Why does it feel like Lu’s state has returned to how anxious she was a while ago…? Qiao Sang looked at Lu’s figure in the water tank, pondered for a moment, and suddenly thought of a possibility:

Could it be that she was stimulated by Steel Treasure’s temporary evolution today…?

The more Qiao Sang thought about it, the more likely this possibility seemed.

When Steel Treasure was contracted, it was only a Beginner Pet, while Lu was already a High-level Pet, and now, Steel Treasure’s High Level form has appeared, but Lu is still a High-level Pet.

Given Lu’s competitive nature, it is indeed a bit hard to accept…

Qiao Sang sighed silently.

There’s nothing she can do now except for Lu to get stronger sooner.

After thinking about Lu, she unconsciously looked at Steel Treasure.

She found that Steel Treasure was calmly practicing Iron Wall, seemingly unaffected by the temporary evolution this morning.

“Such stable emotions,” Qiao Sang sighed inwardly, picked up her phone, and wanted to buy tickets for the Nine Realms Amusement Park for the evening.

Just then, the screen lit up, and her phone vibrated repeatedly.

Dozens of messages suddenly appeared on Yu Liandun University’s official backend.

Qiao Sang subconsciously clicked to open them:

[Hadluo Turing from Class 3, Fifth Year, Beast Taming Department, has sent you a battle invitation…]

[Margaret Creek from Class 1, Fourth Year, Beast Taming Department, has sent you a battle invitation…]

[El Ananno from Class 3, Fifth Year, Beast Taming Department, has sent you a battle invitation…]

[…]

Qiao Sang looked at the messages, all of which were battle invitations, and her mouth twitched, then she clicked to accept each one.

…

1:30 PM.

Xiao Xunbao used Space Movement to directly transfer Qiao Sang to Yu Liandun University.

On the way to the classroom, Qiao Sang strangely noticed many people staring at her.

However, she had often felt such gazes before, so she didn’t pay much attention.

Qiao Sang walked into the tiered classroom with Ya in her arms.

After the events of the morning, she knew she might not be very popular, so she deliberately found a seat with few classmates around.

To her surprise, as soon as she sat down, a red-haired girl stood up from her original seat, walked quickly over, and sat down beside her, leaning in with a gossipy expression and asking:

“You ran into the one who was at the bottom of the Top 100 Ranking?”

The news spread so fast… Qiao Sang glanced at her.

The red-haired girl received Qiao Sang’s gaze and inexplicably felt a powerful aura, like that of a great master, and quickly said:

“I didn’t attack you during the assessment this morning! My Pet was frozen by your Ice Kexilu’s Ice Flower Seal right from the start!”

I didn’t even say anything yet… Qiao Sang paused, then answered her question:

“I ran into him when I was going to the dorm after school this morning.”

The red-haired girl’s eyes lit up: “Why didn’t you two fight?”

Qiao Sang was silent for a moment: “His application hadn’t been approved at the time.”

After speaking, she immediately thought of something and asked: “How do you know all this so clearly?”

The red-haired girl directly placed her phone screen-up on the table in front of Qiao Sang and pushed it forward:

“It’s all over the forum.”

Qiao Sang was sharp-eyed and immediately saw the titles of several posts.
