Chapter 751: Beastmaster Star Game (two in one)

After breakfast, Qiao Sang arrived at the classroom with Xiao Xunbao’s Space Movement.

As soon as she sat down, a classmate playing on his phone in the class suddenly exclaimed, “Oh my god!”

Then he abruptly turned his head.

Qiao Sang was confused by the stare.

Other classmates in the class turned their gazes and asked, “What’s wrong?”

The classmate who exclaimed “Oh my god” ignored the others, but stared at Qiao Sang with burning eyes, turned his phone screen towards her, and asked,

“How do you know Liz, the Dean of the Medical College?”

With that, he tapped the screen.

The video on it started playing.

Qiao Sang looked over, and it was indeed a scene of herself getting into the giant bird Pet carriage at the school gate.

The classmates next to her also saw this video and immediately turned their heads in shock, focusing their gazes.

Pets are sometimes equivalent to a Yu Beast Master’s prestige and status.

Everyone immediately recognized that the giant bird Pet with a carriage in the video was exclusive to Dean Liz at Yu Liandun University.

I thought it was something else… Qiao Sang withdrew her gaze and calmly said,

“Dean Liz asked me to help with Healing.”

Healing?

Everyone was stunned.

The Dean of Yu Liandun Medical College asking a freshman from the Beast Taming Department to help with Healing?

At this moment, Dorothy’s voice sounded:

“Is it because of Ice Aipalu’s Healing Light?”

The others only knew about Qiao Sang from some frequently discussed surface-level things, such as her age, brain domain, and her Pet’s level and attribute.

But Dorothy was quite familiar with Qiao Sang and knew her in more detail.

Qiao Sang hummed.

Everyone immediately understood, and they all showed expressions like “I remember now,” and “How could I have forgotten about this.”

Ice Aipalu, when it was still Ice Kexilu, had already displayed a Healing skill in the freshman assessment.

At that time, everyone had even discussed it intensely, but later, Qiao Sang’s various halos became too prominent, making people subconsciously discuss other things and forget about this matter.

“I remember Healing Light is an Ultra-level Healing skill…”

“I once heard an elder say that there was a leading figure in the medical field who was only a nurse before the age of 57. Later, she contracted a Pet that could use Healing Light and was directly hired as a doctor. She was promoted to associate director in half a year, director in a year, and later directly participated in various researches on fighting viruses, winning countless awards. Anyway, her life was changed because of a Pet that could use Healing Light.”

“Sounds amazing…”

“Isn’t it? This is an Ultra-level Healing skill.”

“No wonder Dean Liz came to Qiao Sang…”

Everyone’s gaze towards Qiao Sang once again became different.

They are so surprised just by meeting Dean Liz; it seems they don’t know that I refused Dean Gilbert… Qiao Sang pretended to be unfazed and listened to their conversation.

News spreads quickly in Royal Union Dun, but it’s also quite well-contained.

From the looks of it, only the mentors here know about this news…

Just as she was thinking, her phone vibrated.

Qiao Sang picked it up to check; it was a text message from the Vice Principal:

【You don’t need to worry about the materials; I’ll sort it out right away.】

Just as Qiao Sang was about to reply, another new text message arrived.

This time, it was from an unknown number:

【Hello, I am a teacher from Imperial Beast Academy.】

That spy teacher?

As the thought arose, her phone vibrated again:

【Are you home at 6 PM? I’ll come to understand your situation first.】

Oh, it’s that mentor who’s coming for 1V1 guidance… Qiao Sang’s heart stirred, and she started typing:

【Yes, Qunkenworth Residence No. 13. This is where I live now.】

…

12 PM.

Yu Liandun University.

Library.

Qiao Sang returned “Rare Pet Illustrated Guide” and came to the display screen, skillfully operating on it.

Soon, a mechanical Pet flew over with a pile of books related to Energy Pill materials.

Qiao Sang held the books in her arms and came to the registration desk.

The administrator looked at the books placed on the table, then at the person holding the pile of books, and asked in a surprised tone,

“Why are you borrowing these books?”

The young girl in front of him came frequently these past two days, and her underage appearance was too conspicuous among a group of 20-year-olds.

In addition, the mentors’ group chat had been discussing a freshman from the Beast Taming Department who refused Dean Gilbert, and they even posted a set of photos, so he was quite clear about her basic situation.

He didn’t feel anything when other students from the Beast Taming Department looked at these books.

But when the child in front of him looked at these books unrelated to the Beast Taming Department, he felt a strange sensation.

It was as if she was born to go all the way in the Beast Taming world and should not show interest or waste time in other fields.

“To read them,” Qiao Sang said.

Administrator: “…”

“Five books, 1 point per book per day,” the administrator put away his jumbled thoughts.

…

5:45 PM.

Qiao Sang returned to the villa living room with Xiao Xunbao’s Space Movement and placed the books on the dining table.

Hope it helps the Vice Principal… Qiao Sang thought to herself as she sat down to eat the meal the Vice Principal left.

After dinner.

The doorbell rang.

Steel Treasure swallowed the last bite of Energy Pill and went to open the door.

Then, a strange voice came from the entrance:

“Is Qiao Sang here?”

“Steel Slash,” Steel Treasure replied.

“Lili,” a Pet’s voice sounded.

“Good that she’s here,” the strange voice said.

The teacher from Imperial Beast Academy who came to teach? Qiao Sang got up and went over.

She saw a middle-aged man with thick, stiff red hair standing on end, and a snake-like Pet whose body was mostly red, with a cream-colored belly and feet, and four limbs but stood only on two.

Seeing her come out, the middle-aged man nodded slightly:

“Qiao Sang.”

“Teacher?” Qiao Sang asked, puzzled.

The middle-aged man hummed, “My name is Pilit.”

With that, he walked in and got straight to the point:

“I hope to understand your recent schedule first, and then make arrangements.”

Qiao Sang led him to the living room sofa and sat down, saying,

“Recently, I’ve been attending classes normally during the day, coming back at noon to read and help my Pets train. In the evening, Forging Worm comes to help with physical training. My Pets train on their own, but recently, I’ll probably be going out to help people with Healing in the evenings, which will take about one to two hours.”

“Helping people with Healing?” Pilit didn’t hide his confusion.

Qiao Sang nodded seriously: “Dean Liz of Royal Union Dun asked me to use Ice Aipalu’s Healing Light to help some terminally ill patients. I believe that with great power comes great responsibility. It’s just a Healing Light, but it gives others hope for a new life, so I didn’t refuse.”

Pilit sat beside her, listening in a daze.

After Qiao Sang finished speaking, he said with admiration:

“You will definitely become an excellent Yu Beast Master. No, you already are.”

After a pause, Pilit changed the subject:

“However, your daily schedule is so busy that it’s difficult for us to go out for actual combat competitions. Some things need to have priorities; you’ll have to give up some of your original arrangements.”

Well, classes have to be attended. Noon is such a short time; after eating, there’s not much left, so it’s not good to go out for actual combat. Forging Worm must come in the evening; otherwise, if this course is interrupted, there won’t be Forging Worm’s help when I return to Blue Star. Earning money from Healing is also a very important matter… It feels like none of them can be given up… Qiao Sang thought for a moment and suggested,

“How about we put our study plan in the evening?”

I was originally thinking that… Pilit asked,

“Are you planning to give up any arrangements for the evening?”

“I mean after all these things are done in the evening.” Qiao Sang said seriously, “I actually don’t need to sleep.”

Pilit was stunned, his expression strange as he opened his mouth, and finally said,

“I need to sleep.”

Qiao Sang: “…”

Qiao Sang called out, “Lulu.”

“Ice Ai,” Lulu, who was about to go train, leisurely walked over.

“My Ice Aipalu has Healing Light. If you want to sleep at night, just use it once, and you won’t feel sleepy anymore. Plus, staying up late won’t harm your body at all. You can try it,” Qiao Sang said.

“Ice Ai.”

Lulu nodded cooperatively at the side.

“Lili,” the snake-like Pet translated.

Pilit somewhat doubted what he heard. He took a deep breath and said with difficulty, “You’re just staying up late, and you’re letting Ice Aipalu use Healing Light?”

“I think skills should be used where they’re most effective,” Qiao Sang said with a serious expression. “What I lack now is time, and Healing Light can just give me the energy to stay up late and study. I don’t see any problem with that.”

It seems there’s no problem… But, but this is Healing Light! Pilit kept repeating in his mind: Calm, be calm…

Before coming, he had actually received all of Qiao Sang’s information, from the initial shock to later admiration.

He originally thought he had made sufficient psychological preparations, but he didn’t expect that after only a couple of sentences, his understanding was refreshed again.

Pilit took a deep breath, adjusted his emotions, and said,

“The main reason I came here is to train you in actual combat, and the fastest way to train actual combat is to continuously enter secret realms and participate in competitions.”

“Super Dormant Star has no secret realms, so I want you to participate in a competition.”

When he said this, he paused, then continued,

“The competition I want you to participate in is from 6:30 PM to 11:30 PM, so you don’t need to stay up late; you just need to rearrange your evening activities.”

After listening, Qiao Sang asked,

“What kind of competition is it?”

Pilit took out a promotional poster from the bag he carried and placed it on the coffee table.

Qiao Sang glanced at it: “Beastmaster Star Tournament?”

Pilit nodded slightly:

“That’s right, this competition is held once a year, and all participants are well-known celebrities among Yu Beast Masters. Although they are active in the film and television industry and other fields, fortunately, they are much older than you and have rich experience. They are willing to spend money on their Pets, and fighting them can achieve a training effect.”

“And don’t worry, there’s an age limit for the competition, under 35 years old.”

“Among ordinary people, a Professional Beast Tamer of this age would be at their peak to cultivate a Pet to General-level. You won’t encounter someone who can defeat you in two moves.”

Qiao Sang hesitated:

“I probably don’t meet the registration criteria, do I?”

It’s called the Beastmaster Star Tournament, so the participants should all be people active on screen. I’m just a freshman in college; let alone being active on screen, I don’t even have an account on Super Dormant Star.

“You don’t have to worry about that,” Pilit said with a smile.

“I did some research. Your Ghost Ring King has been in the news, filmed a promotional video for a certain competition, and even had a cameo in a movie…”

“Wait!” Qiao Sang interrupted, “How do you know about the movie cameo?”

Pilit smiled:

“Our Imperial Beast Academy has the best mechanical Pets. Any information that has appeared on the internet can be found. The movie Ghost Ring King cameoed in was specially promoted and even given a close-up. You’re probably the only Yu Beast Master on Super Dormant Star with a Ghost Ring Spirit of a different color, so it’s not difficult to find out.”

“Xiao Xunbao…”

As soon as the words fell, Xiao Xunbao appeared beside her, waving its paws and shaking its head.

It’s all its fault for being too outstanding.

After speaking, it disappeared.

Qiao Sang: “…”

“Ice Ai.”

Lulu, who had been staying put, suddenly remembered something when she saw this. She looked up at her Yu Beast Master, called out, and asked if there was anything else for her. If not, she would go train.

Qiao Sang looked at Lulu: “You go train.”

Upon hearing this, Lulu flicked her tail and left.

Qiao Sang looked back at Pilit and said,

“Even so, I still shouldn’t meet the registration criteria.”

She had heard of the Beastmaster Star Tournament; not only Super Dormant Star, but Blue Star also had this type of competition.

Without exception, the participating Yu Beast Masters were all figures with fans and traffic, many of whom had become famous by participating in Regional Competitions.

If she were on Blue Star, with the popularity of Ya Bao and Lulu and her own fan base, she might be able to sign up and try, but now on Super Dormant Star, she was clearly not qualified.

Pilit said, “I’ve already signed you up, and it’s been successfully approved.”

Registration approved?

Qiao Sang was stunned; this wasn’t logical!

“After all, you are a student of our Imperial Beast Academy,” Pilit slowly said. “It’s easy to get you to participate in a star competition for training.”

Holy cow, so it was through the back door… Qiao Sang instantly understood.

To be honest, it felt quite special.

“However, the official reason given will be Ghost Ring King’s participation in the promotion and the movie cameo,” Pilit added.

“When is the competition date?” Qiao Sang asked.

“It’s tomorrow,” Pilit pointed to the date on the promotional poster.

What a coincidence… Qiao Sang looked down.

【September 13th】

…

2 AM.

Liu Yao dragged his exhausted body back to the villa.

He turned on the light and came to the dining table, putting down the things in his hand.

Then, he saw several books stacked on the dining table, with a small note tucked underneath.

Liu Yao briefly scanned the cover of the topmost book, which was related to Energy Pill materials.

He was stunned for a moment, then took out the note underneath and glanced at it. It had neat handwriting that read:

【Hope it helps.】

This child… A warm current surged through his heart, and Liu Yao softly said,

“Take the books to the room first.”

“Xian,” Tian Xian Bat called out, picking up the books.

…

The next day.

8:05 AM.

Yu Liandun University.

Beast Taming Department Class 1.

The evening time isn’t impossible to arrange. I’m the consumer, so at worst, I can just ask Forging Worm to come after 12 AM, maybe pay a little extra… The Healing matter can probably be moved to the early morning hours after communicating, since I’m treating terminal illnesses; they can’t possibly be unwilling to wait… Qiao Sang pondered in her seat.

At this moment, a slightly excited voice sounded in the classroom:

“Did you see the trending topic? The Beastmaster Star Tournament opens today!”

Hmm? Beastmaster Star Tournament? Isn’t that the competition I’m about to participate in… Qiao Sang silently looked towards the classmate who spoke.
