Chapter 978: Fifth wheel (two in one)

Becoming an A-grade Beastmaster… feels so far away… Qiao Sang was slightly dazed.

B-level Beast Tamers are basically big shots, a hurdle that ordinary Yu Beast Masters can never overcome in their lives. A-grade Beastmasters are practically titans, to the extent that anything they say might become a famous quote.

Tao Yun Kai thought for a few seconds, then said, “You can.”

After saying those two words, she smiled, “Everyone, please eat first. We can chat while we eat.”

If Qiao Sang had attended another Top Universities, she wouldn’t have agreed so quickly, but Qiao Sang was attending the Imperial Beast Academy, which ranks first on Blue Star.

And the person in front of her, according to investigations, was an honorary tutor at the Imperial Beast Academy and an S-Class Beast Master.

For such a person to accompany Qiao Sang alone to the Long Country’s central region to participate in the Regional Competition, she had no doubt about the Imperial Beast Academy’s重视 (emphasis) on Qiao Sang.

Mi Jiala then smiled, picked up her chopsticks, took some food from in front of her, and tasted it.

“Delicious,” she praised.

“Try this restaurant’s signature dish. No one who comes here says it’s not delicious,” Tao Yun Kai said, pointing to a dish next to them that was covered in sauce.

As she spoke, she looked at Qiao Sang, her smile genuine: “You try it too.”

Qiao Sang picked up a piece of the fish maw she pointed at and put it in her mouth.

The texture was chewy and soft, and the more she chewed, the more fragrant it became.

“Xiao Xunbao…”

Xiao Xunbao appeared, staring at the plate of fish maw.

Qiao Sang noticed Xiao Xunbao’s gaze, picked a piece, put it on an empty plate next to her, and said softly, “Eat.”

“Xiao Xunbao ~”

Xiao Xunbao’s eyes curved, and mimicking her Yu Beast Master, she picked up chopsticks and tried to pick up the food and put it in her mouth.

Tao Yun Kai saw this scene, a smile flashed in her eyes, and then she turned to chat with Mi Jiala, occasionally bringing Qiao Sang into the conversation.

When the atmosphere at the dinner table became very harmonious, she returned to the main topic: “It’s no problem for Qiao Sang not to train with the Long Country Royal Beast Fight Team, but there are many other contestants in the Guo Yu Bureau who are working hard for the competition. If she wants to get a main combat spot to participate in international events, she must first defeat the other members of the Royal Beast Fight Team at that time.”

Everyone present was an old fox who understood with a single hint, able to grasp the meaning the other party wanted to convey from a single sentence.

Teacher Mi Jiala from the Imperial Beast Academy wanted to train Qiao Sang herself and did not want her to join the Royal Beast Fight Team for casual sparring or as a substitute.

After all, members who are new to the national team, especially young members, have no qualifications. Unless they have enough strength to convince the other members of the team, they have to climb up little by little, earning their spot in competitions through their own strength.

Sometimes, even the substitutes for some international events have to go through unimaginable hardships to get a chance.

Although she was a coach, she was not the head coach and had no right to directly designate a certain team member as a main player to participate in international competitions.

“Don’t worry,” Mi Jiala said, taking a sip of soup. “Qiao Sang will earn her main qualification for the competition through her own efforts when the time comes.”

When she said this, she was calm and composed, her tone unconsciously filled with confidence.

“Good,” Tao Yun Kai said with a smile. “Once the contract is drafted, I will send it over.”

Entering any country’s national team generally requires signing a contract, which is equivalent to having a stable position.

For Professional Beast Tamers to enhance their strength, each stage involves a significant expenditure. Such a position not only guarantees the Yu Beast Master’s stable income and career development during their service but also provides security after retirement.

However, correspondingly, they would have to undergo even more arduous training for this.

“I hope the clause about not restricting activities and development, and not mandating assembly, training, and competitions, can be added,” Mi Jiala said while eating her food.

It’s really good to have Teacher Mi Jiala around; I don’t have to worry about anything… Qiao Sang silently drank her soup.

Honestly, even if she hadn’t had contact with the Long Country Royal Beast Fight Team before, she knew that this requirement was a bit excessive, because members of the Guo Yu Bureau are primarily focused on training and competition.

Tao Yun Kai looked at Qiao Sang, recalled her age, her contracted Pet, and her performance on the field, and nodded, saying, “You can.”

Sometimes, when a genius reaches a certain level, some rules can indeed be bent for them.

Qiao Sang was such a genius.

The dinner was quite pleasant, and in the end, Qiao Sang also added Tao Coach’s contact information.

“If you have any problems in the future, you can always come to me,” Tao Yun Kai said, putting her phone back in her pocket, then suddenly thought of something and smiled, “You must become an A-grade Beastmaster soon. I look forward to the day I see you in the Guo Yu Bureau.”

Actually, if you invited me, I could visit the Guo Yu Bureau tomorrow… Qiao Sang inwardly complained a bit, but on the surface, she put on an optimistic expression and said, “I will work hard!”

…

Qiao Sang and Mi Jiala walked out of the Tianwang Hotel.

“Your Long Country’s coach is quite easy to talk to,” Mi Jiala said with a smile.

Originally, she thought it would take some time to argue, but she didn’t expect the other party to agree so readily.

Qiao Sang looked at the sky and sighed, “Maybe I really am a talent.”

Mi Jiala: “…”

“Ya!”

Ya Bao let out a cry, agreeing with her Yu Beast Master’s statement, indicating that it was definitely true.

At this moment, a passerby not far away shouted in surprise, “Qiao Sang!”

Almost everyone’s eyes instantly focused over.

Xiao Xunbao was already prepared, appeared, her eyes glowing blue, and took Qiao Sang and Mi Jiala away from the spot.

…

Suburban villa.

Hu Ji Tiger opened the door.

Qiao Sang and Mi Jiala walked into the living room.

Although Xiao Xunbao could directly teleport into the room, out of politeness, they would always enter through the door.

Yu Ke heard the movement, put down her phone, turned around, her eyes lit up, and she said in surprise, “You’re here!”

Qiao Sang hummed.

“I just saw someone say they saw you at the Tianwang Hotel,” Yu Ke said.

It really feels like a celebrity, with my whereabouts known everywhere… Qiao Sang sighed inwardly and replied, “I just came from there.”

“Did you move?” Yu Ke asked.

Qiao Sang replied, “No, I went there to eat.”

Yu Ke was about to say something else when Mi Jiala called from the glass door leading to the outdoor area, “Time to train.”

“Coming!” Qiao Sang said, quickly stepping towards the outdoor area.

Yu Ke had to swallow the words she originally wanted to say.

She took out her phone again, turned it on, stared at the photo of Guo Yu Bureau Coach Tao Yun Kai subsequently leaving the Tianwang Hotel for a few seconds, then put her phone down again.

…

Outdoor training ground.

Mi Jiala asked, “What are your feelings after this round of competition?”

Qiao Sang said earnestly, “The strength of a B-level Beast Tamer is indeed much stronger than that of a C-level Beastmaster.”

Mi Jiala: “…”

“Ice Emperor Ram’s match, you could have won even more easily,” Mi Jiala said.

Qiao Sang was stunned for a moment, then quickly adopted an eager-to-learn attitude: “How do you mean?”

In her opinion, this match was truly a difficult win. If it weren’t for the direct hit to the Iron War Dragon’s mouth, she felt like its defense couldn’t have been broken at all.

“Ice Emperor,” Lu Bao looked at her Yu Beast Master’s teacher.

“Ice Heaven Domain, an Ice-type domain skill. Within this domain, all Ice-type skills already mastered can be condensed and released faster,” Mi Jiala said.

“In the later stages, it can even achieve the effect of instant condensation and release.”

“Of course, Ice Emperor Ram is still quite a distance from that level.”

“However, within this domain, some offensive Ice-type skills can appear and be cast from any position, instead of, as usual, only being condensed at close range through a certain part of the Ice Emperor Ram’s body and then released outwards.”

Qiao Sang pondered for a few seconds: “Are you referring to the Ice Cone that attacked the Iron War Dragon’s mouth during the match?”

“Exactly,” Mi Jiala nodded slightly.

“Those dozens of giant Ice Cones, Ice Emperor Ram could have condensed and attacked directly from several meters away from the Iron War Dragon. This would not only increase the attack speed, but such an attack frequency would also completely eliminate the need to re-freeze the Iron War Dragon’s mouth.”

“Moreover, relying on the Ice Heaven Domain and the proficiency of the giant Ice Cones, you could actually have Ice Emperor Ram condense Ice Cones from different angles simultaneously to attack different parts of the Iron War Dragon.”

“I understand!” Qiao Sang felt as if enlightened, and immediately wanted to try it out.

She turned and said, “Lu Bao!”

“Ice Emperor!” Lu Bao understood her Yu Beast Master’s meaning, cried out, and stomped her left front paw downwards.

Her entire body instantly emitted visible cold air.

Everything on the outdoor ground, except for people and Pet, instantly froze over with a layer of Ice.

“Xiao Xunbao…”

Xiao Xunbao extended her paw in mid-air, placed it in front of her mouth, and exhaled.

The next second, six Ice Cones, several meters long, appeared simultaneously above, below, left, right, front, and back of Xiao Xunbao, aimed directly at her.

“Xiao Xunbao!”

Xiao Xunbao was startled, a shiver running through her body.

Before long, the Ice Cones and the surrounding icy world disappeared.

“Xiao Xunbao…”

Xiao Xunbao breathed a sigh of relief, wiping non-existent sweat from her forehead.

“Qing Qing?”

Qing Bao appeared beside her, showing a worried expression, and called out, asking if she was alright?

“Xiao Xunbao ~”

Seeing the fifth sibling appear, Xiao Xunbao quickly put down her paws and put on an expression of “I’m fine, how could anything happen to me?”

On the other side.

“Ice Emperor.”

Lu Bao showed a surprised expression.

Qiao Sang’s eyes lit up, and she said, “Then we’ll train in this direction next.”

“Ice Emperor.”

Lu Bao wagged her tail, showing a serious expression, and immediately prepared to start training.

Her entire body emitted visible cold air.

The surrounding temperature plummeted, and the ground once again froze over with a layer of Ice.

“Xiao Xunbao!”

Xiao Xunbao, who was boasting to Qing Bao and even flexing her muscles to show off her strength and fearlessness, was startled, quickly teleported away, and appeared beside her Yu Beast Master.

Qing Bao: “…”

…

The next day.

12:00 PM.

Yu Beast Center.

Room 2603.

Qiao Sang finished reading the contract and handed it to Teacher Mi Jiala.

Mi Jiala read through each clause, confirmed that her requested terms had been added, then placed the contract on the table and said with a smile, “Good, you’ve indeed added the terms I requested.”

Tao Yun Kai said, “On this matter, our coaching staff had a serious discussion, and the head coach also reviewed Qiao Sang’s information. They believe her talent is indeed unprecedented, so they are willing to agree to your requests.”

“However,” she changed the subject, pointing to a clause in the contract, “I’m sure you’ve seen this as well.”

Party B needs to become an A-grade Beastmaster within twenty years. If it is not completed within the specified time, Party A can request Party B to return to the Long Country Royal Beast Fight Team to participate in training… Qiao Sang glanced at the content above, but didn’t feel too restricted.

Twenty years was too long for her.

“The nation’s resources are limited,” Tao Yun Kai continued. “We cannot indefinitely invest in a Professional Beast Tamer who might not know when they can participate in competitions. This would also be unfair to the other team members.”

Understood, understood… Qiao Sang looked at another clause in the contract stating that Party B could receive a monthly salary of 2 million alliance coins, and nodded repeatedly.

24 million a year, to be received for free for 20 years without any mandatory training or competition.

Honestly, she actually wouldn’t mind being a substitute.

“I saw it,” Mi Jiala nodded slightly. “That’s fine.”

In her opinion, with Qiao Sang’s talent, it was not impossible for her to become an A-grade Beastmaster within twenty years.

“That’s good,” Tao Yun Kai said, then smiled and looked at Qiao Sang.

Mi Jiala also looked over.

Under their gaze, Qiao Sang signed and fingerprinted the contract.

Tao Yun Kai put away one copy of the contract, took out a red badge with a Dragon-type Pet on it from her bag, and handed it over, saying, “This is your Guo Yu Bureau work ID. From now on, you can use this to enter the Guo Yu Bureau. Additionally, your personal information will also include that you are an active Professional Beast Tamer of the Guo Yu Bureau.”

Qiao Sang extended both hands and solemnly accepted it.

…

The next day, morning.

Yue Kong Yu Beast Arena.

“Just last night, 5 revived contestants were determined. Coupled with the 27 contestants who successfully advanced, who will be grouped with whom among today’s 32 contestants, what kind of performance will they bring us, and who will successfully advance to the top 16, let us wait and see!” The reporter said into the microphone, facing the camera.

In the stands, the crowd held up their cheering sticks and banners for their supported contestants, shouting at the top of their lungs.

By now, the remaining contestants were all B-Grade Professional Pet Tamers. Each of them had a considerable fan base, and they all firmly believed that their supported contestant would win.

Contestant area.

Qiao Sang looked at Zeng Feitian, who had re-qualified in the resurrection match not far ahead, feeling unsurprised.

Given his strength, making it to the top 32 was normal.

After all, in the resurrection match, C-level Beastmasters still accounted for the vast majority.

“Ya Ya.”

Ya Bao in her arms wore dark green sunglasses, looking incredibly cool.

Ever since she summoned Ya Bao for the last match, Qiao Sang had resumed carrying Ya Bao with her when out and about.

Many of the surrounding contestants’ gazes fell upon her.

“Xiao Xunbao…”

Xiao Xunbao silently appeared, draped in a black cloak.

A gentle breeze suddenly blew, making the black cloak sway back and forth, looking very dashing.

When did Qing Bao become so cooperative with Xiao Xunbao… Qiao Sang looked in the direction of Xiao Xunbao’s black cloak, surprise flashing in her eyes.

The Host appeared in mid-air at the center of the venue, standing on a Flying-type Pet, holding a microphone, and announced loudly, “Ladies and gentlemen, welcome to the Regional Competition! After the previous rounds and the resurrection match, the top 32 of this Regional Competition have been determined! Please look at the big screen!”

As she finished speaking, a giant virtual screen appeared in the arena.

There were 32 photos on it.

Qiao Sang saw herself in the second photo of the last row.

The whole venue cheered.

The Host continued, “And today, from these 32 contestants, we will determine 16 contestants who will advance to the next round!” (End of this chapter)

Becoming an A-grade Beastmaster… feels so far away… Qiao Sang was slightly dazed.
