Beast Taming: Starting From Zero
Chapter 735: I want to participate in the Star Cup
Indoor training room.
“To learn Space Confinement, you must first have the concept of space.”
Yiwena said seriously, “Two-dimensional space is a plane, three-dimensional space is a solid, and four-dimensional space is the concept of three-dimensional space plus time.”
“What you need to understand deeply is three-dimensional space.”
Yiwena tried her best to explain it in simple terms:
“Three-dimensional space is three-dimensional, so it has three directions, established by infinite extension in three directions.”
“To confine space, what you need to do is to locate these points, thereby connecting each point, applying the corresponding energy to these points, and then extending it to achieve the effect of confinement.”
“Xiao Xunbao…”
Xiao Xunbao listened very carefully, nodding slightly at times and showing a thoughtful expression at others.
Ghost-type Pet… While lecturing, Yiwena secretly observed the Pet in front of her.
She was a student in the Pet News Department, with many sources of information, so finding out any news, especially within the campus, was a matter of minutes.
Qiao Sang had been too much in the limelight recently, and many people knew about her situation, making it even easier to inquire.
Ghost Ring King, a Ghost-type General-level Pet, but due to its unusual color, it also mutated with Superpower System attributes, making it an extremely rare Pet.
To be honest, as soon as Yiwena heard this news, she was filled with envy.
For such a Pet, there was probably no Yu Beast Master who didn’t want to possess it.
And she was so eager to learn… Yiwena sighed inwardly.
That’s right, eagerness.
She had been in contact with many Pets, and had even taught two other Pets Space Confinement before, but she had never encountered a Pet so eager to learn.
Being forced to learn and wanting to learn are completely different states.
The Ghost Ring King in front of her clearly belonged to the latter.
Even without her Yu Beast Master nearby, she listened so attentively, without the slightest slack.
“Xiao Xunbao…”
Xiao Xunbao was processing what the human in front of her was saying.
Work hard! Fight!
The sooner she learned Space Confinement, the sooner she could play on the computer for an extra hour!
With this belief, Xiao Xunbao became even more serious.
…
Three hours later.
Qiao Sang saw off Forging Worm, took a shower, and came out of the bedroom to see Xiao Xunbao and Yiwena, who had also just come out of the indoor training room.
“Are you done? How’s the learning going?” Qiao Sang asked.
“Xiao Xunbao…”
Xiao Xunbao sighed.
She still hadn’t learned it.
“It’s over.”
Yiwena praised, “Ghost Ring King is truly intelligent; she learns almost everything with one explanation.
I think the probability of her learning Space Confinement is over ninety percent.”
Any Yu Beast Master teaching a Pet a High-level skill, and not even a skill of its main attribute, no one would dare to guarantee 100% success.
Over ninety percent was already considered extremely high recognition.
Xiao Xunbao was not very happy to hear the praise; she felt she was still a bit far from mastering this move.
“That’s good.” Qiao Sang smiled.
She had good hearing, and when Forging Worm hadn’t arrived earlier, she had paid special attention to the content being taught inside.
Understanding that Xiao Xunbao first needed to locate each point, Qiao Sang knew she had a huge advantage in practicing this move.
That was that Xiao Xunbao was already very familiar with positioning.
After all, Space Movement also required positioning first, and for this move, Xiao Xunbao had already practiced it to the Profound Level.
Yiwena suddenly thought of something, formed a hand seal, and a green Star Array lit up.
Soon, a Pet, largely green in body, with purple eyes and rose-red eyelids, appeared within the Star Array.
In her hand, she held a bunch of black-petaled, strangely shaped flowers with many stamens inside.
Poison Whisker Flower King, a Grass-type and Poison-type dual-attribute High-level Pet… Qiao Sang hadn’t read books for nothing during this time; she recognized the Pet in front of her at a glance.
“Pick one for me.” Yiwena turned to Poison Whisker Flower King and said.
“Poison Whisker.”
Poison Whisker Flower King extended her claw, picked a flower from the bunch of black flowers, and then handed it to her Yu Beast Master.
Yiwena took it, then handed the black flower to Qiao Sang, saying, “Have Ghost Ring King practice Space Confinement on this flower whenever she has time.
If she can successfully confine this flower within space, it will wither in a short time.”
Qiao Sang recalled the attributes of Poison Whisker Flower King and the color of the flower, and cautiously asked, “Is it poisonous?”
“Yes.”
Yiwena smiled, “But Poison Whisker Flower King needs to infuse energy for the toxicity to take effect.
Normally, it’s no different from an ordinary flower.”
“It just lives on air; no watering needed; as long as there’s air, it can bloom indefinitely.”
Qiao Sang felt relieved, took the black flower, and handed it to Xiao Xunbao.
“Xiao Xunbao~”
As soon as Xiao Xunbao got it, she immediately lowered her head and sniffed it curiously.
Seeing that her task for the day was complete and the other party seemed satisfied, Yiwena asked, “Do you have time tomorrow at noon?
I’ve already prepared all the interview materials.”
So efficient… Qiao Sang thought about her schedule for tomorrow and nodded:
“Yes.”
…
The next day, Qiao Sang woke up on time at the call of her alarm clock.
She quickly washed up and came to the living room.
“Xiao Xunbao…”
Xiao Xunbao’s eyes glowed blue as she stared intently at the black flower on the coffee table, showing a focus quite similar to when she played on the computer.
Qiao Sang ’tsk’ed inwardly, then turned to see a steaming breakfast on the dining table, along with Ya!’s Energy Pill, but no sign of the Vice Principal.
Where is he?
Qiao Sang came to the dining table and found a note with messy handwriting that read:
“The food is ready; you guys eat.
I have something to go out for.”
He had something to do but still specially prepared breakfast… Qiao Sang felt a surge of emotion.
After breakfast, with Xiao Xunbao’s Space Movement, Qiao Sang successfully arrived at the classroom.
As soon as she appeared, everyone’s attention focused on her.
Even some students from other classes passing by the door would occasionally peek inside.
As soon as the first class ended, students from the surrounding classes all rushed over, a group of people surrounding Qiao Sang, talking enthusiastically, as if there had been no conflict whatsoever during the freshman assessment.
“You now have three General-level Pets.
Do you want to directly challenge those ranked higher than you on the Top 100 list?” One student excitedly suggested.
The other students listened, their faces full of anticipation.
When the strength gap was too great, they instantly forgot about the freshman assessment.
Instead, they realized that being in the same class as a prodigy like Qiao Sang gave them a sense of shared honor.
Having such a monster in their class, who might even crush those older students and become the strongest in the Beast Taming Department undergraduate program, was an exciting thought!
Challenge those on the Top 100 list?
Qiao Sang was stunned for a moment, then smiled, “I still have many requested battles from others that I haven’t done yet.”
The student next to her widened his eyes, looking surprised, “Are people actually still sending you battle requests now?”
“Why not?” Qiao Sang said, picking up her phone, ready to show everyone the long list of requests.
She opened the interface, but found that the original list of requests had all disappeared, leaving only one person named Salem Poole.
Qiao Sang: “…”
The student was sharp-eyed and immediately saw that only one name remained on the list, then burst out laughing:
“I knew no one would challenge you again!”
The students nearby chimed in:
“Exactly.
With your current strength, ranked at the bottom of the Top 100 list, anyone with a bit of sense would know to challenge the 99th place.”
“If you ask me, Qiao Sang should go challenge those guys in the top ten.”
“What’s the top ten?
I heard that Marc Short, ranked first, only has two General-level Pets.
She should directly challenge him!”
Everyone spoke one after another, as if they had already envisioned Qiao Sang being invincible and becoming the top-ranked.
Qiao Sang sat in silence for a long time, speechless.
So, battle requests could be canceled even after being confirmed…
She used to think being targeted by so many seniors was troublesome, but now that no one was challenging her, she felt it was a bit of a shame.
How many points would she lose…
Thinking of this, Qiao Sang inexplicably felt a pang of heartache.
…
12:00 PM.
Inside a recording classroom with a giant virtual screen.
Qiao Sang sat on the sofa, holding Ya!, chatting casually with Yiwena.
“How were you able to evolve your Pet so quickly?
I’d like to know if there’s any secret to it?” Yiwena asked.
Because I have a Gold Finger… Qiao Sang said seriously, “No, if I had to say, it’s through talent and hard work, as well as the bond between us.”
“Ya!” Ya! barked, indicating that was correct.
Yiwena continued to ask, “I heard you’re from Blue Star.
Then why did you think of coming to Yu Liandun University to study?”
“I attend Imperial Beast Academy, I’m just here as an exchange student.”
When Qiao Sang said this, she showed an embarrassed smile, “I actually applied to Yu Liandun University first, but my application wasn’t accepted.”
Yiwena: “???”
A prodigy like you, and your application wasn’t accepted?!
Were those admissions officers’ brains filled with dung?!
Yiwena’s face was blank for a moment, a series of question marks flashing through her mind, but due to her professional demeanor, she quickly controlled her facial expression.
“Imperial Beast Academy is also a very good Top Universities… You were selected into the Top 100 list as soon as you entered the school.
Why do you think that is?”
Qiao Sang smiled, “Of course, because of strength.”
Yiwena asked again, “You have such strength in your freshman year, with no rivals among your peers.
Have you ever considered skipping grades and applying to the next stage earlier?”
Qiao Sang thought for a moment and said, “I already skipped grades to attend university.
Currently, I have no intention of skipping again.
I feel I still have many shortcomings in terms of knowledge and need to settle down and study thoroughly.”
Yiwena was silent for a while, then confirmed with a bewildered tone:
“You skipped grades to attend university?”
Qiao Sang ‘hmm’ed, “When I was in my first year of high school, I participated in the third-year high school competition of the National Campus Pet Beast League and won the championship, so I was allowed to skip to the third year of high school and take the college entrance examination for that year.”
Yiwena listened quietly, her eyes somewhat dazed, “So how old are you now?”
“16.” Qiao Sang said.
Yiwena was completely stunned.
So, the prodigy who entered university as a freshman with four Pets, three of which were General-level, making all freshmen despair, was actually only 16 years old?
And still a minor?!
After an unknown amount of time, Yiwena remembered that she was still conducting an interview.
“Do you have any goals or things you want to do?”
“Yes.” Qiao Sang said with a serious expression, “I want to participate in the Interstellar Cup.”
In the past, Qiao Sang might have kept this dream to herself, not speaking it out so easily, because saying it would only lead to ridicule.
But now, she had confidence, and she wouldn’t be ridiculed.
