Beast Taming: Starting From Zero

Chapter 749: You look back (2-in-1)

There are no secrets at Yu Liandun University, are there? Qiao Sang grumbled inwardly, her expression feigning surprise, “How did you know?”

She really refused… Li Dongdong said with a complex expression,

“I heard it from someone else.”

To be honest, he thought Gilbert was too rigid and lacked discernment, but upon learning that Gilbert had truly been rejected, he felt a sense of lament.

If Gilbert had approved Qiao Sang’s application in time, none of this would have happened…

At this moment, Qiao Sang said, “President Li, when I return to Blue Star in the future, it shouldn’t affect my affiliation with you.”

Hmm? Hmm?!

Li Dongdong’s spirits lifted, and he immediately cast Gilbert out of his mind, asking eagerly,

“You agreed?”

Qiao Sang hummed in affirmation, “Ghost Ring King learned Space Lockdown so quickly because of the Spiritual Mark. I deeply realized the power of Spiritual Marks, and I hope to have the opportunity to learn Spiritual Marks from you in the future.”

Of course, she didn’t mention the most important point, which was money.

The unlimited card was about to expire, and she had rejected President Gilbert, so her future resources would have to depend on herself.

In any case, Spirit Mark Master is one of the most lucrative professions in current society.

“Good! Good!” Li Dongdong was overjoyed, “Don’t worry, it definitely won’t delay your participation in the Interstellar Cup!”

Is it too early to talk about the Interstellar Cup now? Qiao Sang felt a little embarrassed by that statement.

Although she believed she would definitely participate in the Interstellar Cup, she also clearly knew that it was a long time away.

“Which Pet should I draw first? I’ll demonstrate it on the spot now and explain some basic things,” Li Dongdong said excitedly.

Qiao Sang paused, “I have an appointment with President Liz from the Medical College at 6 o’clock, so I might not have time to listen.”

“It’s fine, it’s fine!” Li Dongdong waved his hand, not even asking why Qiao Sang was looking for President Liz, “Just go. Just leave the Pet you want to draw first here.”

Qiao Sang subconsciously looked down at Ya Bao.

“Ya Ya!”

Before she could speak, Ya Bao understood what its Yu Beast Master meant.

It quickly shook its head, grabbing Qiao Sang’s clothes with its paws, indicating that it didn’t want to be drawn first and wanted to go with her.

Qiao Sang could only form hand seals.

The orange-yellow Star Array lit up.

Soon, Steel Treasure appeared within the Star Array.

“Steel Treasure, you stay here to draw Spiritual Marks. I have something to do outside and will come back to pick you up later,” Qiao Sang said.

“Steel Slash.”

Steel Treasure nodded calmly, indicating no problem.

Li Dongdong glanced at Steel Treasure and said,

“Steel Slash Giant Falcon is 7.6 meters tall, so it will probably take nearly two to three hours.”

The time it takes to draw a Spiritual Mark will increase accordingly based on the difficulty of the Spiritual Mark and the size of the Pet.

Qiao Sang nodded, “I understand.”

At the entrance of Yu Liandun University.

A massive bird-type Pet was waiting quietly, with a luxurious carriage, complete with windows and a roof, fixed to its back.

Pets with carriages on their backs like this were highly favored by some members of the upper class.

However, most Professional Beast Tamers did not like them, believing that the carriages restricted the Pets’ movement and were inconvenient if danger was encountered along the way.

But Spirit Mark Masters and tool makers held different opinions.

They believed that a carriage on a Pet’s back could make the journey more stable and safe, and also provide more privacy, making it convenient for reading or doing other things inside.

Qiao Sang stood beside the bird-type Pet with the carriage on its back, following the information sent by President Liz.

The carriage door opened automatically.

Qiao Sang glanced at President Liz inside, then stepped in, holding Ya Bao.

“Bang!”

Qiao Sang closed the carriage door, and just as she was about to greet her, she saw President Liz staring at her with burning eyes, asking,

“I heard you rejected President Gilbert from your Academy?”

Qiao Sang: “…”

If President Gilbert were standing in front of her, she would swear that she absolutely did not reveal this…

“I still prefer to return to Blue Star,” Qiao Sang said tactfully.

“I understand.” President Liz nodded slightly, “Most people still prefer to stay on their own planet, especially since you’ve already been admitted to Imperial Beast Academy.”

“Generally speaking, competition among schools for students usually happens when the student hasn’t been admitted to any school yet. Your situation is quite rare.”

More than rare, the conditions offered were something I’ve never even seen in the news… Qiao Sang grumbled inwardly, maintaining an attentive posture on the surface.

At this moment, President Liz asked in a casual tone, “By the way, how does your Ice Aipalu usually train Healing Light?”

Qiao Sang thought for a moment and said, “It just doesn’t want to sleep, and when it’s injured, I occasionally let it heal.”

President Liz looked at Qiao Sang in astonishment, her mind filled with question marks.

She could understand being injured, but what the heck was “not wanting to sleep”?

If she didn’t want to reveal the secret of her training, she could just say so. Did she have to be so perfunctory?

President Liz remained silent for a long time, finally deciding to change the subject:

“This patient has amyotrophic lateral sclerosis. His muscles are atrophied and weak, and his whole body feels as if it’s gradually freezing. Ice Aipalu’s Healing Light must illuminate his entire body.”

Qiao Sang paused, “Doesn’t Healing Light naturally illuminate the entire body?”

President Liz also paused, “Who told you that?”

Qiao Sang said, “Lu Bao, which is Ice Aipalu, always illuminates the entire body when it casts Healing Light.”

President Liz took a deep breath, trying to keep her tone calm:

“Perhaps your Ice Aipalu has a higher proficiency…”

At this point, she couldn’t hold back anymore and said, “Healing-type skills are targeted Healing. Generally, wherever there’s a problem, the skill is cast on that part.”

If there’s a problem with the brain, you heal the brain. If there’s a problem with the leg, you heal the leg. You heal wherever there’s a problem. How can you cast Healing Light on the entire body!

This is an Ultra-level skill!

Healing a local area and Healing the whole body seems to be no different, it’s all just one use of Healing Light… Qiao Sang thought to herself, nodding on the surface, indicating that she had learned something.

Half an hour later, the massive bird-type Pet landed inside a villa.

The carriage opened, and Qiao Sang, holding Ya Bao, followed President Liz down.

A young man in a butler’s uniform emerged from the shadows, approached President Liz, and respectfully said,

“President Liz, please follow me.”

Why didn’t he greet me? I’m the one treating the patient… Never mind, we’re all just workers, and he doesn’t know who I am… Qiao Sang walked into the villa beside President Liz.

“President Liz, you’re finally here!”

At the railing on the second floor, a slender lady appeared, with long, narrow eyes and brown hair, looking to be nearly 30 years old.

“Madam Zari.” President Liz looked up and greeted her.

The young man in the butler’s uniform silently retreated to the side.

The lady called Zari quickly walked down, her face full of excitement: “I’ve been waiting for you for a long time.”

After speaking, she looked behind her, as if searching for someone.

“Where’s Dr. Zeng?” Madam Zari looked at President Liz, asking with hidden expectation.

“Dr. Zeng had something to do and couldn’t make it,” President Liz said.

Madam Zari’s expression couldn’t hide her disappointment, but she quickly put on a polite smile and looked at Qiao Sang beside her:

“And this is?”

“Let me introduce you, this is Qiao Sang, a student from our Royal Union Dun. She will be helping with the treatment this time,” President Liz introduced.

Madam Zari did not show any disdain because the young girl in front of her looked underage or because she heard she was a student.

No student who can attend Royal Union Dun is simple.

Her gaze unconsciously fell on the nearly red dog-type Pet in the girl’s arms.

A Pet from another planet… so she’s also from another planet… Madam Zari showed a warm smile:

“Miss Qiao, it’s truly remarkable that you can treat diseases like amyotrophic lateral sclerosis at such a young age. I wonder how long the treatment effect will last this time?”

Amyotrophic lateral sclerosis is an incurable disease, but with some Healing-type skills from Pets, a temporary recovery can be achieved, though it cannot be completely cured.

“I came here to cure this disease,” Qiao Sang said.

What does that mean? Madam Zari didn’t react for a moment and looked at President Liz in confusion.

“Her Pet has Healing Light, which can completely cure amyotrophic lateral sclerosis,” President Liz said with a smile.

Madam Zari turned to look at the black-haired girl with a shocked expression.

She never expected that this person would have a Pet with Healing Light!

Healing Light, an Ultra-level skill, is considered a divine skill in the eyes of any terminally ill patient and their family members!

She had originally made an appointment with Professor Zeng from Yu Liandun University, who also had a Pet with Healing Light, but seeing that he didn’t come, she thought it wasn’t her turn yet…

Madam Zari thought of something, covered her mouth, and tears instantly welled up in her eyes: “So, Leo… he’s saved?”

President Liz nodded:

“Yes.”

Madam Zari’s eyes instantly only saw Qiao Sang: “This is, this is truly too good…”

Qiao Sang felt her scalp tingle from being stared at like a savior, and couldn’t help but say, “Please take me to see the patient now.”

“Good! Good!” Madam Zari excitedly walked ahead to lead the way.

The three walked one after another into a room on the second floor.

“This is my husband.” Madam Zari walked to a middle-aged man sitting in a wheelchair by the window, his whole body in a stiff state, and introduced him.

President Liz naturally knew who this was; she was specifically introducing him to Qiao Sang.

Next to the middle-aged man was a Pet, entirely blue-green, with a large mouth on its abdomen.

“Hello,” the Pet with the large mouth said.

Qiao Sang was startled.

At this moment, Little Qunbao appeared with an interested expression, aiming its Pet Identifier at the large-mouthed Pet.

Immediately after, a mechanical voice with the same tone as Little Qunbao sounded:

“Let me see… Polyglot Monster, a High Level Superpower System Pet. It can repeat what humans think of saying, very suitable for those who cannot speak… But compared to you, its combat power is not good. You probably won’t feel much accomplishment even if you defeat it.”

Little Qunbao listened, then disappeared with satisfaction.

Leaving Qiao Sang standing there, utterly embarrassed.

“Poly…poly…”

The Polyglot Monster’s veins bulged on its forehead, and its face turned crimson.

Madam Zari glanced at the Polyglot Monster.

The Polyglot Monster’s body stiffened and immediately quieted down.

Qiao Sang apologized, “I’m sorry, my Pet is sometimes a bit too curious…”

“It’s fine,” Madam Zari quickly said.

At this moment, President Liz looked at the watch on her wrist and said, “It’s time for treatment.”

Upon hearing this, Qiao Sang directly called out, “Lu Bao.”

“Ice Ai.”

Lu Bao always stayed in the backpack, but that didn’t mean it wasn’t aware of the situation outside.

It jumped out of the backpack, observed the two humans in front of it, and immediately locked onto its treatment target.

A blue light shone from the gem on its forehead, illuminating the middle-aged man sitting in the wheelchair.

Madam Zari was stunned. She didn’t expect the other party to start the treatment without a word.

Generally speaking, don’t they usually ask everyone to leave before starting treatment…

Just as Madam Zari was hesitating whether she should leave, the blue light disappeared.

Why did the treatment suddenly stop? Madam Zari’s voice was urgent and flustered: “Is something wrong?”

Qiao Sang glanced at her: “It’s already cured.”

Madam Zari: “???”

Cured?

It’s cured just like that?!

She abruptly turned to look at her husband.

The man seemed to realize something, looking bewildered, then turned to look at her.

Madam Zari: “!!!”

Qiao Sang declined Madam Zari and her husband’s desperate attempts to persuade her to stay and eat, only exchanging contact information, then left the villa with President Liz.

In the air.

Inside the carriage on the back of the giant bird-type Pet.

President Liz suddenly said, “Come to our Medical College!”

Qiao Sang: “…”

“I still prefer to return to Blue Star.” Qiao Sang repeated the words she used to reject President Gilbert.

President Liz looked at her in silence, her gaze like that of someone looking at a heartless man who had rejected her.

Qiao Sang coughed and changed the subject, “I still have some time tonight. Do you want to treat other patients while we’re at it?”

Gilbert… President Liz sighed inwardly and said, “Not today. I have other things to do tonight.”

Qiao Sang didn’t give up: “You can give me the address, and I’ll go by myself.”

President Liz immediately looked at her with an incredibly complex expression.

“What’s wrong? Is there something on my face?” Qiao Sang was puzzled by the stare.

“No,” President Liz shook her head and said, “I’m just very curious why you would reject Gilbert.”

When she first approached Qiao Sang, the other party was clearly not interested in treating patients, but later expressed a desire for money, and now she was actively treating, so logically, she should be very interested in money.

She didn’t believe Gilbert hadn’t used this aspect to tempt the other party.

Why are we talking about this again? Qiao Sang just smiled and didn’t answer.

Finally, President Liz gave Qiao Sang a few addresses.

After parting ways, Qiao Sang chose two nearby locations to go for treatment.

By the time everything was finished, it was already 8:34 PM.

Time to go to Steel Treasure… Qiao Sang declined the offer of a private ride and walked out of the villa.

Ya Bao’s body slowly grew larger, its eyes glowed blue, and it used its psychic power to control its Yu Beast Master onto its back.

At this moment, Qiao Sang felt her phone vibrate.

She took it out and saw a text message:

【Look behind you.】
