Beast Taming: Starting From Zero

Chapter 781: It will be useful sooner or later

The ending BGM sounded.

After the awards ceremony, Qiao Sang did not leave by Pet with Teacher Pilit as usual, but followed the Staff backstage to the interview area.

In fact, after the preliminary rounds, the organizer had specifically invited some players with exciting matches or great fame to the interview area for interviews after the competition.

However, the organizers only contacted the teams behind the star players, and Qiao Sang was not aware of this news at first.

Later, as the competition progressed, Staff specifically contacted her.

Her purpose for coming here at the time was purely at Teacher Pilit’s arrangement to train her practical combat ability, so she was not interested in interviews, only feeling it was a waste of time, and thus decisively refused.

After all, she still had to train with Forging Worms when she went back at night, and also go out to provide Healing for terminally ill patients.

But now it was different; all the competitions had ended, this would be her first and last interview, and she could also take the opportunity to promote the item Little Qunbao used today.

Qiao Sang sat down in the center seat, holding Ya Bao, guided by the Staff.

Flashlights kept flashing.

Soon, a reporter asked, “Excuse me, is it true that you are rumored to be a freshman at Yu Liandun University?”

Qiao Sang calmly said, “To be precise, I am a student of Imperial Beast Academy, and I came to Yu Liandun University as an Interstellar Exchange Student.”

The reporters in the entire venue were in an uproar; this was news they did not know.

“Excuse me, why did you participate in the Beastmaster Star Tournament?” a reporter asked.

My teacher asked me to participate… Qiao Sang said seriously, “I wanted to see players from various fields and learn new things from them.”

“Then have you learned anything?” the reporter immediately followed up.

“Yes, a lot.” Qiao Sang nodded, “For example, today’s player Apollo, the combination of Flame Step and Flame Detonation from Bi Mo Fox was something I hadn’t thought of.”

Speaking of this, the reporters immediately thought of Ghost Ring King, who fought against Bi Mo Fox.

“Excuse me, was Ghost Ring King intentionally hit after Bi Mo Fox activated Raging Flames?” one reporter eagerly asked.

Qiao Sang hummed, “Ghost Ring King has Curse Body, and it was also a gamble on whether Bi Mo Fox would fall for it.”

Another reporter asked, “The probability of Curse Body is not 100%. Have you considered what would happen if Bi Mo Fox didn’t fall into a fixed state?”

Finally, they asked the crucial point… Qiao Sang coughed and said, “I believe the defensive power of the armor Ghost Ring King was wearing at the time could withstand Bi Mo Fox’s Flame Charge. I have tested this item, and its defensive power is quite good.”

“Is it convenient to say what brand of item this armor is?” a reporter cleverly asked.

In such competitions, star players generally use items from brands they endorse. Qiao Sang hadn’t used any items in the previous days, only using one in the final day, making it hard not to suspect she was promoting that item brand.

Good question… Qiao Sang looked at the reporter who asked the question with an appreciative gaze, “It’s called Guangdao.”

“Excuse me, how did you teach Ice Aipalu Ice Heaven Domain?”

“Excuse me, how did Flame Qilu learn Lava Purgatory?”

“Excuse me, how do you usually train your brain region?”

“Excuse me, are you really 16 years old?”

Questions came one after another from the reporters’ mouths.

Qiao Sang answered them patiently one by one.

After continuously answering questions for over twenty minutes, Qiao Sang finally couldn’t take it anymore and gave a look to the Staff next to her.

The Staff immediately understood and stepped forward, saying:

“Today’s interview ends here…”

Half an hour later.

Qiao Sang was enjoying a sumptuous feast with the Vice Principal, Teacher Pilit, and Tang Yi.

The location was a private dining room in a restaurant near the outdoor Pet Tamer Arena.

After learning Pilit’s identity, Tang Yi seemed a bit constrained, and even the Vice Principal looked a bit more reserved than usual.

Tang Yi turned to look at Qiao Sang, his expression as if saying: Why did you call me here…

Qiao Sang returned a look: What are you afraid of? I’m here.

Indeed, Tang Yi felt a little more at ease.

Pilit looked at Liu Yao and smiled, “Qiao Sang being able to win the championship tonight, to be honest, is all her own credit. I only played the role of signing her up; usually, it’s all thanks to you.”

“Qiao Sang, this child usually handles her own studies and training. My being by her side is just helping to make some Energy Pills and taking care of her diet. I can’t help much with anything else,” Liu Yao said hurriedly.

“Pet’s Energy Pills and diet are the most important things usually,” Pilit said.

The two chatted back and forth for a long time, and Liu Yao gradually relaxed.

There was no other way; Imperial Beast Academy was a deified Top Universities on Blue Star, and those who could teach there were naturally shrouded in a layer of mystery.

Although Liu Yao had some achievements in the field of research, it was somewhat insufficient when placed in Imperial Beast Academy.

Being able to communicate with a teacher from Imperial Beast Academy was something he had never imagined before.

Seeing that the atmosphere between the two had become somewhat relaxed, Qiao Sang smiled and said, “Vice Principal, the materials like Youlu Grass that you wanted to understand, and which materials on Super Dormant Star have similar effects, were told to me by Teacher Pilit.”

Liu Yao’s eyes lit up, “Really? Thank you so much, you saved me a lot of time.”

Pilit was silent for a moment, “No problem, it was just a small favor.”

Some opportunities for exchange and learning are seized by oneself. Having finally managed to strike up a conversation with a teacher from Imperial Beast Academy, Liu Yao was unwilling to miss this opportunity.

He hesitated for a moment, then finally said:

“Can I add your contact information? Qiao Sang’s progress is too fast, and the Pet’s Energy Pill formula needs to be changed frequently. I’m not very clear about the effects of many Super Dormant Star materials when combined.”

The meaning was clear: could he ask him if he didn’t understand something later.

I am a teacher at the Pet Tamer Academy! Not the Nurturing Institute! Pilit screamed inwardly, then outwardly took out his phone and nodded calmly, “Of course you can.”

After eating and drinking their fill, the four left the restaurant.

Liu Yao and Pilit were clearly enjoying their conversation, walking and chatting ahead.

Qiao Sang and Tang Yi walked side by side behind them.

Tang Yi took the opportunity to whisper, “Finally out. You don’t know, I was so nervous eating just now.”

I could tell, but I gave you a chance and you didn’t take it! Eating with a teacher from Imperial Beast Academy, and you didn’t even think to take the opportunity to ask some questions you usually don’t understand… Qiao Sang asked, “Why didn’t you tell me in advance that you were coming to watch my competition today?”

Tang Yi was silent for a moment, then smiled, “Wasn’t it because I was afraid of disturbing you?”

In fact, ever since Qiao Sang entered Yu Liandun University, their contact had decreased.

A few days ago, he saw Qiao Sang’s information on the hot search and specifically watched the live broadcast of the competition.

To be honest, he increasingly felt the gap between himself and her.

At that time, being in the same class and having daily contact, he might not have felt much, but after a period of no contact and no chat, seeing news of her defeating those star players on various platforms, he suddenly felt that Qiao Sang seemed too distant, as if she was no longer in the same world as him.

He genuinely wanted to come and support her in person.

However, he never thought of specifically contacting Qiao Sang after the competition to maintain their relationship.

Of course, if she lost, that would be another matter…

“What’s there to disturb? It’s just a phone call or a message,” Qiao Sang said indifferently, “Just contact me if you have anything.”

How good Fang Sisi was; she still occasionally sent messages saying her Cotton Section Worm had evolved and asking if they could become in-laws.

“I understand,” Tang Yi said, lowering his eyes.

When the gap between two people is very large, they will inevitably drift apart. He had already deeply understood this after problems arose in his family.

At a fork in the road, Tang Yi said his goodbyes first.

Qiao Sang followed the Vice Principal and Pilit, leaving by Pet from high in the sky.

Flying in the air was convenient, with almost no obstacles.

Soon, the three arrived at the villa area.

Just as Pilit was about to say goodbye, Qiao Sang suddenly said:

“Teacher, you haven’t taught me the hand seals for simultaneously summoning multiple Pets.”

Pilit was stunned for a moment, a hint of surprise flashing in his eyes, “Aren’t you going to get a good rest tonight?”

Although Qiao Sang won the championship with a perfect record, tonight’s competition was clearly more difficult, and she also dealt with reporters for a long time afterward. She should have rested well.

Qiao Sang thought for a moment and said, “It’s just learning a hand seal; it shouldn’t be tiring, right?”

Hand seals, she could totally practice while leaning on the sofa or bed. She didn’t feel there was anything tiring about it.

Pilit was speechless and said:

“It’s too late for me to go in. In half an hour, I’ll send you the hand seal videos.”

“Okay.” Qiao Sang nodded.

Half an hour later.

Qiao Sang was half-reclining on the headboard, holding her phone, as continuous vibrations rang out.

Teacher Pilit had sent as many as eight videos.

Qiao Sang roughly looked through them and found that each video contained different hand seals.

Just as she was about to ask, she saw Pilit send two messages:

“The hand seals for summoning two, three, four, and five Pets simultaneously are all different. The videos I sent you will allow you to practice directly up to summoning nine Pets simultaneously.”

“Take your time practicing. I believe you’ll eventually need them.”

Qiao Sang: “…”
