Beast Taming: Starting From Zero

Chapter 977: Dragon Kingdom Beast Taming Team (two in one)

“Xiao Xunbao?”

Xiao Xunbao lowered her voice and called out.

There was no movement inside the room.

Then, she seemed to remember something, floated through the door, and drifted towards the room next door.

“Qingqing?”

After floating a few meters down the corridor, Qingbao’s voice came from nearby.

Xiao Xunbao turned her head and saw Qingbao appear out of thin air in a place where no one had been.

“Xiao Xunbao?”

Xiao Xunbao called out, worried like a little adult, indicating, “Where did you go?”

She hadn’t forgotten the humans in the Hollow Region’s madness for the fifth one, fearing that the fifth one might be caught if she wasn’t careful.

Two days ago, she had just watched a movie about a Pet that was so popular that she got caught wherever she went.

At the time, she was glad that she wasn’t popular to that extent.

“Qingqing.”

Qingbao pointed to a room not far away and called out, indicating that new humans had moved in there, and she was going to see if they were after their Yu Beast Master.

“Xiao Xunbao?”

Xiao Xunbao’s expression suddenly became serious.

Is that so?

“Qingqing.”

Qingbao shook her head.

Probably not, those two humans have been playing games, they haven’t done anything to our room.

“Xiao Xunbao~”

Xiao Xunbao relaxed and called out.

Then let’s go back.

“Qingqing.”

Qingbao called out, indicating, “You go back, I’ll check the other rooms.”

With that, she disappeared in Wind Transformation.

Xiao Xunbao was stunned for a moment, sensed the direction Qingbao had disappeared in, and quickly followed.

“Qingqing?”

After floating for only a few meters, Qingbao reappeared, staring at Xiao Xunbao and calling out in confusion, indicating, “Aren’t you going back?”

“Xiao Xunbao~”

Xiao Xunbao grinned.

I’ll go with you.

“Qingqing.”

Qingbao stared at Xiao Xunbao for a few seconds, then showed a sweet smile and continued moving in the direction she was originally heading.

Only this time, she didn’t use Wind Transformation.

The two small figures floated into one room after another, their expressions changing from initial seriousness to “What are they doing?” and then to “Let’s watch TV here too, they can’t see us anyway.”

Their expressions became increasingly excited, and each time they floated into a room, there was a joy like opening a blind box.

When they had entered every room in the Yu Beast Center accommodation area, Qingbao showed an expression of still wanting more, and then she looked at the brightly lit hotel not far away and suddenly called out:

“Qingqing.”

How about we go check that out too? It’s close to here, and maybe there are humans there who might notice movement in our Yu Beast Master’s room.

“Xun!”

Xiao Xunbao nodded repeatedly.

Okay, okay!

… …

At the same time.

That brightly lit hotel.

26th floor.

A black rabbit Pet stood with her ears perked outside the window, aimed at the same floor opposite, listening to the movement in the distance.

“Can the Long-Eared Rabbit hear that far?” the black-haired man with two dark circles under his eyes questioned.

“Don’t worry, I found her among thousands of Long-Eared Rabbits. Her千里耳 (Thousand-Mile Ear) characteristic has reached A-grade. She can definitely hear from this distance, she just needs to filter it out,” the paparazzi, who was also a stalker, replied while looking out the window with binoculars.

A moment later, he put down his binoculars, revealing two equally large dark circles under his eyes.

“Qiao Sang’s room light is off, looks like she’s asleep,” the paparazzi said:

“The Steel Sword Falcon has been standing by the window, but her eyes are closed, so she should be asleep too.”

As he spoke, he sighed:

“I never expected the Steel Sword Falcon’s sleeping habit to be like this.”

After speaking, the paparazzi picked up his notebook and pen and recorded this piece of information.

The black-haired man looked at the dark, seemingly peaceful room in the distance and asked quietly:

“Has Qiao Sang not encountered any strange winds during her stay here?”

The paparazzi, upon hearing this, immediately thought of those few nights that were extremely mentally taxing, and his face instantly turned ugly, but he still analyzed rationally:

“The Qingyin Fairy is the darling of the wind, even if a strange wind appears in the room, it will quickly subside.”

“I feel like she sleeps so soundly every night and hasn’t encountered any mental attacks,” the black-haired man said, feeling quite unbalanced at the thought that he might have suffered for her.

The paparazzi glanced at him and said:

“Haven’t you seen Qiao Sang’s strength in today’s competition? Even if someone tried to attack her room, they would have been dealt with.”

The black-haired man’s inner imbalance instantly disappeared, and he sighed:

“How can someone’s Yu Beast talent be so high? That Tao Coach from the Guo Yu Bureau must have come for her. As soon as Qiao Sang finished her match, she left.”

The paparazzi said:

“Otherwise, would I give up on others and specifically stake her out? In this Regional Competition, Qiao Sang is clearly the most talked-about. If she is selected by the Guo Yu Bureau, the value of our future scoops will definitely increase.”

The black-haired man smiled, just about to speak.

Suddenly, a strong wind blew in the room.

Before he could even react, he was slammed against the wall with a “bang,” and a sharp pain shot through his back.

Immediately after, he fell to the ground.

The black-haired man looked up at the items being blown around by the wind in the room, completely dumbfounded.

“Li Er!”

The Long-Eared Rabbit was directly blown out the window.

However, the next second, she was controlled by an unknown force and returned to the room in reverse.

The paparazzi was caught off guard and was also blown against the wall.

He stared at the sudden strong wind in the room, completely stunned.

A thought echoed in his mind:

Could it be that the illusion they experienced in the Yu Beast Center hasn’t fully worn off?

A moment later, neither of them dared to stay in the room any longer, and they suddenly got up and fled the room.

The strong wind disappeared, and items fell.

Xiao Xunbao and Qingbao appeared in the room.

“Xun!”

Xiao Xunbao exclaimed in admiration, indicating that she never expected the humans who appeared at the Yu Beast Center last time to have moved here to monitor their Yu Beast Master.

“Xiao Xunbao~”

As she spoke, she looked at Qingbao with an expression of admiration.

Good thing you thought of coming here to check too.

“Qingqing.”

Qingbao showed a shy expression of “I’m also doing this just in case.”

“Xiao Xunbao…”

Xiao Xunbao recalled the scene where Qingbao, earlier in someone else’s room, saw two humans kissing and suddenly a gust of wind blew, blowing off one of the human’s bangs hairpiece, and a hint of suspicion flashed in her heart.

However, she then recalled the scene just now and Qingbao’s current shy appearance, and her inner doubts instantly disappeared.

She had originally thought that the fifth one had gone into every room just for fun, like herself, but now it seemed that she was truly looking for people who were detrimental to her Yu Beast Master.

Qingbao glanced at the items scattered on the floor.

Before she could even show an expression of “What should I do about this,” Xiao Xunbao’s eyes were already glowing blue, controlling the fallen items and placing them back in their original positions.

“Qingqing~”

Qingbao stared at Xiao Xunbao for a moment, then her eyes curved into a smile.

… …

The next day, 7:30 AM.

Qiao Sang woke up naturally, checked the time, quickly washed up, glanced at Yabao and Qingbao who were still sleeping, and began to meditate cross-legged on the bed.

Morning Meditation, in addition to increasing brain capacity, can also help clear the mind quickly.

Suddenly, the window was tapped twice.

Steel Treasure looked at the mechanical bird Pet outside, which was about the same size as Xiao Xunbao, and turned her head to look at her Yu Beast Master with an inquiring gaze.

Qiao Sang’s thoughts about Steel Treasure flashed through her mind, she opened her eyes, glanced at the mechanical bird Pet outside, and said:

“Let her in.”

Steel Treasure opened the window.

The mechanical bird Pet jumped onto the table right next to the window, and without a word, her black eyes lit up with a blue light.

Instantly, a virtual screen appeared, revealing a person’s figure inside.

Qiao Sang, who now had an eidetic memory, was not unfamiliar with the person on the screen.

Guo Yu Bureau, Tao Coach.

When the Host introduced her, the screen had a close-up of this person.

“Hello, Qiao Sang, I am Tao Yun Kai,” the woman on the screen said, “I’m from the Guo Yu Bureau, currently serving as the coach for the Long Country Royal Beast Fight Team. If you’re interested in joining the Guo Yu Bureau, I’ll be waiting for you at 6 PM tonight in the Tianwang Private Room at Tianwang Hotel.”

As soon as she finished speaking, the virtual screen disappeared.

The mechanical bird Pet flapped her wings and flew out the window without looking back.

Steel Treasure silently closed the window again.

Joining the Guo Yu Bureau… Qiao Sang was stunned for a moment, but she didn’t feel particularly shocked or flattered.

When Imperial Beast Academy actively sought her out and told her she was admitted, and when the deans of various colleges at Yu Liandun University expressed their appreciation for her in front of her, wanting to poach her for their colleges, it had already made her much calmer about these big-shot figures suddenly visiting.

However, she still couldn’t help but feel her heart race.

The Guo Yu Bureau held extraordinary significance for Long Country.

It almost gathered the strongest group of people in Long Country, mainly fighting in various international and interstellar competitions.

This included the Interstellar Cup.

To participate in the Interstellar Cup, the most important thing was to get national support to first participate in the World Asian Beast Tamer Alliance Competition.

This step stumped countless Professional Beast Tamers.

Because the spots for the World Asian Beast Tamer Alliance Competition were limited, not everyone who won two national championships in a year could successfully participate.

Therefore, obtaining a nationally granted spot became the most crucial step.

And to gain national support, joining the Guo Yu Bureau and the Long Country Royal Beast Fight Team was an indispensable step.

Is it time to contact the Guo Yu Bureau already…? Qiao Sang took a deep breath, calmed her racing heart, picked up her phone, and dialed Mi Jiala Teacher’s number.

After two “du-du” sounds, the call connected.

“Hello,” Mi Jiala Teacher’s voice came from the speaker.

Qiao Sang went straight to the point: “Someone from the Guo Yu Bureau just came to see me.”

Mi Jiala was silent for a second: “Where are you now?”

“In my room at the Yu Beast Center,” Qiao Sang replied.

“Wait for me,” Mi Jiala said, then hung up.

The next second, Mi Jiala Teacher, wearing a silk camisole pajama, appeared in front of Qiao Sang.

“You said someone from the Guo Yu Bureau came to see you?” Mi Jiala confirmed.

Qiao Sang hummed:

“It was that Tao Yun Kai Coach who appeared at the Regional Competition.”

Mi Jiala pondered for a moment and asked:

“What did she want with you?”

Qiao Sang answered truthfully:

“She said if I wanted to join the Guo Yu Bureau, I should go to the Tianwang Private Room at Tianwang Hotel at 6 PM.”

She was a student of Imperial Beast Academy, and this student status would last for decades. If she wanted to join the Guo Yu Bureau, some of the time arrangements would definitely conflict with Mi Jiala Teacher’s original plans, so she definitely had to inform her.

Mi Jiala said without hesitation:

“You go see her tonight.”

After a pause, she added:

“But I’ll go with you.”

Qiao Sang tentatively asked: “Is it about joining the Guo Yu Bureau?”

Mi Jiala smiled:

“I know what you’re worried about. It’s a good thing that your country values you so quickly. Our school respects any student who represents their country in combat. Besides, you also represent our Imperial Beast Academy. If you successfully participate in the Interstellar Cup in the future, you will represent Blue Star.”

Qiao Sang couldn’t help but smile.

She really didn’t choose the wrong Imperial Beast Academy back then.

Steel Treasure silently glanced at her Yu Beast Master, thinking, didn’t she think the two teachers from Imperial Beast Academy were scammers when they first came to her, and didn’t believe she could get into this school?

Qiao Sang sensed something and suddenly turned to glance at Steel Treasure.

Steel Treasure silently averted her gaze.

… …

6 PM.

Tianwang Hotel.

Tianwang Private Room.

Inside a typically Chinese-style private room, a woman with black hair and fine lines at the corners of her eyes was sitting quietly drinking tea.

She looked to be about forty years old, dressed in casual clothes, very relaxed.

Such a large private room, and only a few of them, what a waste… Qiao Sang walked into the private room led by a waiter, looked at the layout inside, and sighed inwardly.

Tao Yun Kai turned her head, saw a foreigner next to Qiao Sang, and was not surprised. She stood up and smiled:

“You’ve arrived.”

“Hello, Tao Coach,” Qiao Sang greeted.

Tao Yun Kai looked at Qiao Sang with an appreciative gaze for several seconds, then smiled: “Good, good, good! Please sit down quickly.”

“Hello, my name is Mi Jiala, and I am Qiao Sang’s mentor,” Mi Jiala approached the table and extended her hand with a smile.

Tao Yun Kai shook her hand: “Hello, my name is Tao Yun Kai.”

The three sat down one after another.

Pets in work uniforms quickly served the dishes.

“I’ll be direct,” Mi Jiala looked at Tao Kaiyun and said, “Do you want Qiao Sang to join the Guo Yu Bureau?”

“That’s right,” Tao Yun Kai looked at Qiao Sang and said seriously:

“She is the most talented Yu Beast Master I have ever seen in the field of Yu Beasts.”

Qiao Sang feigned a shy smile.

Tao Yun Kai asked word by word:

“Do you want to join the Guo Yu Bureau? To be precise, to join the Long Country Royal Beast Fight Team.”

Qiao Sang nodded immediately:

“I do!”

No Yu Beast Master doesn’t want to join the country’s Royal Beast Fight Team, just as no Yu Beast Master doesn’t want to participate in the Interstellar Cup.

“Good!” Even though she knew no one would refuse to join the Guo Yu Bureau, Tao Yun Kai still couldn’t help but show a look of joy.

Just as she was about to say something, Mi Jiala spoke:

“Qiao Sang is currently a student at our Imperial Beast Academy. We are responsible for her daily training. I hope she does not undergo closed training, and we will consider whether to participate in certain competitions. When it is time for the competition, I will let her participate.”

Tao Yun Kai looked at her:

“There is no better growth than joining the National Beast Appraiser Combat Team and participating in national top professional player competitions.”

Mi Jiala said nothing.

She knew these competitions all too well; with Qiao Sang’s current strength, even if she participated, she would only enter as a substitute.

Tao Yun Kai took a step back:

“What does ‘when it’s time for the competition’ mean?”

“When she becomes an A-grade Beastmaster,” Mi Jiala said.

Thank you to passerby A Momo boss for being the Alliance Leader! How to say it, my heart is very complicated, both happy and panicked.
