Chapter 946: Fleeting (two in one)

“I’m training outside, I’ll be back soon.”

“Okay, I’ll wait for you at the Yu Beast Center.”

Qiao Sang hung up the phone and looked at Yu Ke, saying, “Then I’ll go first. I’ll come back to train tomorrow.”

Yu Ke was stunned for a moment: “Leaving already?”

Qiao Sang hummed: “I mainly came this time to try out the new skill Ya! just awakened.”

Mi Jiala did not speak from the side.

This was her thought as well, but she didn’t expect it to be so fast…

Yu Ke said: “Then I’ll send you the password to the gate. You can come over anytime.”

“Okay.” Qiao Sang nodded.

Currently, this was the only place in the entire Tian’an City where she could train, so it was indeed possible she would come over at any time.

After speaking, she turned to look at Xiao Xunbao and Qingbao, who were on top of the giant pit in the distance, and said:

“Come back, we’re leaving.”

“Xiao Xunbao~”

Xiao Xunbao teleported back to her Yu Beast Master.

“Qingbao.”

Qingbao used Wind Transformation, appearing when she arrived by her Yu Beast Master’s side.

Divine appearance critical hit!

Qingbao’s sudden appearance in front of her made Yu Ke’s heart stop, and she froze on the spot.

Qiao Sang turned and left.

“Wait, wait!” Yu Ke recovered and quickly caught up, saying enthusiastically: “Why don’t you stay? It’s almost dinner time, and there are actually many fun places nearby. I can take you out for a walk.”

As she spoke, her eyes occasionally darted towards Qingbao.

“Qingbao~”

Qingbao knew at a glance that this was another human fascinated by her. After giving the other party a sweet smile, she used Wind Transformation and disappeared from the spot.

This smile directly caused Yu Ke to freeze on the spot again, not even knowing when Qiao Sang said “No need” or when she left.

…

Walking out of the villa, Qiao Sang looked at Xiao Xunbao and said:

“Let’s pinpoint our location and return to the Yu Beast Center.”

“Xiao Xunbao~”

Xiao Xunbao cried out, her eyes glowing blue.

On the way here, Qiao Sang had paid special attention to the distance and the landmark buildings they passed, all so she could directly use Empathic Positioning when returning.

Qiao Sang closed her eyes, and everything around her appeared in her mind in a three-dimensional mode.

Five minutes later, Qiao Sang and Mi Jiala arrived at the entrance of the Yu Beast Center.

“I’ll go first.” Mi Jiala said: “If you’re going to train tomorrow, don’t go too early. The Imperial Beast Academy people should be arriving tomorrow.”

“Okay.” Qiao Sang nodded.

After Mi Jiala left, she walked into the Yu Beast Center alone.

At this time, the lobby was bustling with people, and the number seemed even greater than yesterday.

Qiao Sang took out her phone, just about to dial the Vice Principal’s number.

But at that moment, she felt two sudden pats on her shoulder.

Turning her head, it was Tian Xian Bat.

Qiao Sang was stunned for a moment, then said with surprise: “Xian Teacher.”

“Xianxian.” Tian Xian Bat cried out, flying to the side.

Qiao Sang followed the direction it flew and saw the Vice Principal walking towards her, greeting him:

“Vice Principal.”

Liu Yao’s gaze had been fixed on Ya! in Qiao Sang’s arms.

This was the evolved form of Flame Qilu…

Flame Qilu had evolved, but the method for Yan Ling Dog to evolve into Liao Xing Hound had not yet been researched…

Although he had prepared himself mentally, when Liu Yao saw Ya!’s current appearance, he still approached with a somewhat chaotic mind.

“Ya!”

Ya! cried out in a good mood upon seeing an acquaintance.

Liu Yao slowly let out a breath and said: “Let’s find a quiet place to talk first.”

“Okay.” Qiao Sang had no objections.

The two came to a nearby restaurant.

After ordering, Liu Yao said with a complicated expression: “I didn’t expect you’ve been preparing to participate in the Regional Competition recently.”

“It’s a training course arranged by Mi Jiala Teacher.” Qiao Sang finished speaking, then added: “Mi Jiala Teacher is the teacher assigned to me by the Imperial Beast Academy.”

Liu Yao sighed: “I once thought you would participate in the Regional Competition in the future, but I didn’t expect it to be so soon.”

Qiao Sang said rather sheepishly: “I didn’t expect it either.”

The Interstellar Cup was out of reach. In the hearts of people in various regions, the Regional Competition was already considered the highest-level competition.

Almost all Yu Beast Masters would consider participating in the Regional Competition an honor.

She herself had once thought of participating in the Regional Competition, but she didn’t expect to be able to participate so soon after becoming a Yu Beast Master.

“Why aren’t you participating in the Yuhua Regional Competition?” Liu Yao asked.

“Didn’t Aodinihi predict it when we were on Super Dormant Star? Except for Xiao Xunbao, Ya! and the others, including my breakthroughs, are all in the Central Region, so I came here.” Qiao Sang explained.

So that’s how it is… Liu Yao listened, his gaze once again couldn’t help but fall on Ya!, and he asked:

“Have you thought of a name for Flame Qilu’s evolved form?”

“Yes.” Qiao Sang nodded: “Yan Jiaoou.”

As she spoke, the waiter also brought up the ordered dishes.

Liu Yao picked up a spoon, took a sip of soup, and smiled: “Now that your Flame Qilu and Ice Aipalu have both evolved, even if you encounter a B-level Beast Tamer in the competition, you’ll probably be able to put up a fight.”

Qiao Sang was silent for a moment: “I am already a B-level Beast Tamer.”

“Cough, cough, cough…” Liu Yao was directly choked by the soup he had just swallowed, coughing violently.

Qiao Sang quickly took some tissues and handed them over: “Are you alright?”

Liu Yao took the tissues, looked directly at Qiao Sang, and confirmed in disbelief:

“What do you mean you just said you’re a B-level Beast Tamer?”

“It’s exactly what it means.” Qiao Sang said while picking up food: “Didn’t Aodinihi also predict my breakthrough location…”

She unhurriedly recounted the process of her brain domain breaking through to 50%, saying: “So I broke through. Speaking of which, it was several months ago.”

Liu Yao was dumbfounded and shocked.

Even though Qiao Sang had given him too many shocks before, he still couldn’t immediately digest the fact that Qiao Sang’s brain domain had broken through to 50% and she was already a B-level Beast Tamer.

You know, Qiao Sang was only 17 years old! 17 years old!

A 17-year-old B-level Beast Tamer, this, isn’t this outrageous!

“Let me calm down…” Liu Yao lost his composure and started eating his rice in a daze.

Ten seconds later, he suddenly thought of something and spoke:

“A brain domain reaching 50% cannot yet be considered a formal B-Grade Professional Pet Tamer. You need to have five registered Pets and pass the assessment to be considered one.”

Qiao Sang took a sip of soup and said: “Of course I know that. I’ve already passed the B-Grade Professional Pet Tamer assessment.”

She passed, she even passed the B-Grade Professional Pet Tamer professional assessment… Liu Yao looked at her in silence.

His gaze was like he was looking at a species he couldn’t comprehend.

Then he thought of something and asked:

“What is the fifth Pet you contracted?”

Qiao Sang glanced at the people eating and talking around them, then lowered her voice and said:

“Qingqingni.”

Qingqingni? Liu Yao was first stunned, then his expression froze for a moment, his pupils constricted, and he suddenly stood up, losing his voice: “You said Qing…”

When he got to this point, he realized that the people next to him were all looking over. He tried hard to regain a calm expression, silently sat down, and also lowered his voice, saying:

“You’re talking about the Beginner form of Wind God Cloud, the legendary Pet of the Central Region.”

Qiao Sang nodded: “That’s right.”

Liu Yao fell silent.

He didn’t speak or eat, just stared blankly into space.

“Aren’t you going to eat?” Half a minute later, Qiao Sang asked.

Liu Yao murmured: “I can’t eat anymore…”

He couldn’t digest it, simply couldn’t digest it.

The mental preparations he had made before coming had completely collapsed.

So, in just half a year, Qiao Sang’s brain domain broke through to 50%, she contracted Qingqingni, the legendary Pet of the Central Region, passed the assessment to become a B-Grade Professional Pet Tamer, and even had Ice Aipalu and Flame Qilu evolve into King-level Pets…

Absurd, simply too absurd…

Is this, is this even human?

“Is there anything else you haven’t told me?” Liu Yao took a deep breath and asked.

Qiao Sang thought for a moment and said:

“Steel Treasure has also officially evolved, and its form has stabilized as Steel Sword Falcon. Also, Qingbao, which is Qingqingni, evolved into Qingfeng Nini during the last mission in the secret realm.”

With the previous bombshells, Liu Yao digested these two pieces of information quite well.

He was silent for a moment, then asked again:

“That’s all?”

“That’s all.”

“After we finish eating and go back, I’ll help Ya! check her data. Do I still need to configure the Energy Pill for her?”

“No need, the teachers from the Imperial Beast Academy will be here tomorrow, and they will help configure it for free.”

“Okay…” Liu Yao felt somewhat melancholic for some reason.

…

Yu Beast Center.

Room 2603.

After admiring Qingbao for a long time, Liu Yao seriously began to check Ya! and record her data.

Qiao Sang went to the window and called her mother.

Soon, the call was connected.

Without waiting for her mother to speak, Qiao Sang went straight to the point:

“Mom, I’m about to participate in the Regional Competition. Do you want to come and watch my match?”

There was a clear pause on the other end of the line, then a familiar voice sounded: “Regional Competition? You’re participating in the Regional Competition?”

Qiao Sang hummed: “Didn’t I tell you a while ago that the Imperial Beast Academy sent a special teacher to train me outside? The first task the teacher assigned was to bring me to participate in the Central Region’s Regional Competition. I just completed the Central Region’s mission a few days ago and successfully registered.”

Ye Xiangting feigned anger: “Why are you only telling me now?”

She quickly accepted that her daughter could participate in the Regional Competition and was very proud of it.

In her opinion, no C-level Beastmaster in the entire Dragon Country could be found at her daughter’s age.

None of the C-level Beastmasters participating in the Regional Competition had the talent of her daughter, who was admitted to the Imperial Beast Academy at 16. If they could participate, her daughter naturally could too.

“It’s just that I didn’t know if I could complete the task within the given time and officially register successfully.” Qiao Sang said without changing her expression: “As soon as I officially registered successfully, I called you.”

“When do you start competing?” Ye Xiangting asked.

The start times for the Regional Competition vary in each region.

“September 1st.” Qiao Sang said.

“Of course, I’ll go to watch you compete.” Ye Xiangting said worriedly: “But can I still buy tickets now?”

“It’s fine, I’m a participant, so I can have two family member slots. When you come, just let me know, and I’ll take you in.” Qiao Sang smiled.

Participants in the Regional Competition receive excellent treatment. Not only can they eat and stay for free at the Yu Beast Center during the competition, but they can also bring family members to the competition venue.

Even if they don’t stay at the Yu Beast Center, many people invite participants to stay at hotels for free food and accommodation, all to increase their hotel’s reputation.

After all, if a participant staying at their hotel achieved good results in the Regional Competition, the subsequent benefits would be self-evident.

Ye Xiangting said happily: “Okay, I’ll handle things here and then go straight over.”

“Okay.” After informing her mother and chatting for a few more sentences, Qiao Sang hung up the phone.

After about half an hour, Liu Yao finished his examination, put down the equipment in his hand, and said:

“The proportion of fire-elemental energy in Ya!’s body is now far greater than Superpower System energy, even more so than during her Flame Qilu period. Learning fire-elemental skills will probably be much easier for her than before.”

Ya! hasn’t learned any new skills in a long time; she’s just been practicing the skills she awakened… Qiao Sang thought to herself.

“Since you’re participating in the Regional Competition, you should also let Ya! and the others practice more combination skills.” Liu Yao said worriedly: “Those Professional Beast Tamers participating in the competition basically all have powerful combination skills.”

After speaking, he regretted it a little.

Qiao Sang now had a teacher from the Imperial Beast Academy guiding her; she didn’t need him to say these things.

“I understand.” Qiao Sang said seriously.

Regarding combination skills, she had thought about practicing them after officially passing the assessment to become a B-level Beast Tamer, but later all her time was spent on missions. By the time the missions were completed, the competition was about to begin, and there was simply no time.

“Oh, by the way, Vice Principal, will you come to watch my match?” Qiao Sang asked.

Liu Yao smiled: “What do you think? I’m already here.”

He paused, then added: “I’ll leave when you finish.”

Qiao Sang inexplicably felt more at ease. Just as she was about to say something, her phone suddenly vibrated several times in a row.

She picked it up and saw that all the messages were from the family group chat, followed by private messages from various relatives, all asking if it was true that she was participating in the Regional Competition.

Qiao Sang suddenly had a feeling and opened her Moments.

The first post that appeared was her mother’s, timestamped half an hour ago.

The image was a screenshot of their recent call duration, accompanied by the caption:

“My daughter called to say she’s participating in the Central Region’s Regional Competition. The shop is too busy. Is there anyone available recently who can help me look after the shop?”

Qiao Sang: “…”

Sure enough…

…

The next day, people from the Imperial Beast Academy came to check Ya! and the others and recorded Qingbao’s data.

On the third day, Qiao Sang registered and updated Ya! and Qingbao’s information at the Yu Beast Center right when it opened in the morning.

This process took so long that it wasn’t officially completed until late afternoon, almost closing time.

On the fourth day, an expert specializing in legendary Pets, which was the Old Lady who helped apply for the SS-grade demon spirit heart last time, specifically rushed over to examine Qingbao and promised to immediately apply to the country for resources related to Qingfeng Nini.

On the fifth day, the Trainer family who had previously made exclusive Energy Pills for the Qingqingni species sent someone to examine Qingbao.

On the sixth day, Qiao Sang trained.

On the seventh day, Qiao Sang trained and also went to the venue of the Regional Competition to check the route and distance.

In a blink of an eye, it was September 1st, the day of the Regional Competition.
