Beast Taming: Starting From Zero - Chapter 1256

1256. Chapter 1251 I accept your challenge (two in one)

Pure Evil Clown… Qiao Sang’s expression suddenly grew complicated.

Yabao, sensing something, followed his beastmaster’s lead. The moment he caught sight of the Pure Evil Clown, his expression instantly turned furious. He bared his teeth and called out,

“Ya Ya!”

Though he hadn’t revealed his full form, even though his aura was controlled and not leaked, he was now a Royal-level pet, and the aura of a powerful being was still unmistakable.

The people and pets around him all changed expression, all looking in Yabao’s direction, their bodies unconsciously shifting back.

“Pure Evil…”

The Pure Evil Clown was the first to be struck, his face paling.

“Yabao,” Qiao Sang called out.

“Ya Ya…”

Yabao reluctantly lowered his bared teeth, but his expression remained unfazed as he glared at the Pure Evil Clown.

The people and pets around him breathed a sigh of relief.

The Pure Evil Clown breathed a sigh of relief even more deeply.

At that moment, Tingbao looked over, his gaze fixed on the Pure Evil Clown. Recalling the conversation they’d overheard, he knew the creature before him was going to harm the Boss. Almost subconsciously, crackling arcs of yellow electricity appeared on his body. Just

as Yabao had finished calming him down, another Tingbao appeared… Qiao Sang’s mouth twitched slightly at the sight.

Seeing the lightning from Tingbao about to strike the Pure Evil Clown, she quickly waved her hand and retracted it into the Beast Taming Codex.

Tingbao’s reaction speed wasn’t as fast as Yabao’s. Several times before, it had struck Teacher Mikala the moment she spoke. It was safer to just retract it into the Beast Taming Codex.

Mikala’s gaze fell on the Pure Evil Clown, piqued.

Besides her, this was the first time she’d encountered someone who, seemingly without any action, had been targeted by Lei Nilong.

“Is this a Night Ring King fan?” Mikala inquired.

She remembered Qiao Sang mentioning a Night Ring King fan at Yantian University. He was a Pure Evil Clown, and it was from him that she’d exchanged the King Energy Potion.

They were clearly on good terms, so why were Yabao and Lei Nilong so irritable upon meeting?

While both Yabao and Lei Nilong were pets with rather bad tempers, Mikaela had spent considerable time with them and knew they wouldn’t lose their temper or attack people or pets for no reason.

Even if Lei Nilong did treat her that way, she knew it was a result of years of accumulated anger. It

wasn’t just a fan relationship… Qiao Sang’s expression was complicated. He hummed, then looked at Pure Evil Clown and asked,

“How did you know we were here?”

“Pure Evil,”

the Clown pointed in the direction of Little Xunbao.

Qiao Sang glanced over and saw the phone in Little Xunbao’s hand, livestreaming.

Qiao Sang: “…”

“Xunxun~”

Little Xunbao’s expression froze, then he regained control, grinning and waving his paw at the phone. He barked, signaling that something had suddenly occurred and he was going to end the stream.

He then turned off his phone, pouted at Pure Evil Clown, and called out,

“Xunxun?”

What’s up?

The Pure Evil Clown showed an aggrieved expression and cried out:

“Pure Evil?”

Why did you delete me?

Little Xunbao was about to speak when Qiao Sang spoke first: “After we finish watching the game, let’s find a place to chat.”

“Xunxun~”

Little Xunbao quickly echoed.

“Pure Evil.”

The Pure Evil Clown looked at Little Xunbao, then at the human in front of him, nodded, and said that I would come to find you after this round of games.

After saying that, he turned and left.

This was not its place.

The people in the original position returned to their seats.

“What happened?” Mikaela turned around and asked after seeing the Pure Evil Clown disappear.

“It’s a long story…” Qiao Sang sighed and recounted the incident of the Pure Evil Clown asking for a photo and autograph, and then how Xia Lala discovered something was wrong.

Upon hearing that it was Xia Lala who discovered it, Michaela immediately said seriously,

“It’s better to be cautious than to act prematurely. Since we’ve noticed something’s wrong, there’s no need to risk taking photos or signing autographs.”

He then looked at Xia Lala, who looked like a fresh-faced Pu, and smiled, “Thank goodness you noticed it in time.”

Xia Lala was speechless, so she could only wave her paw, indicating that it was nothing.

“Since you’ve discovered something’s wrong with the Pure Evil Clown, why did you even go to see it?” Michaela asked.

“Xunxun~”

Little Xunbao echoed.

“Yes, yes, why did we even go to see it? “

The thought of the Pure Evil Clown’s curse causing him to lose everyone’s favor made Little Xunbao irritated with it.

Qiao Sang waved his hand, saying,

“We’re still short of two bottles of King Energy Potion, right? Maybe we can get them through this.”

Each student at Yantian University was limited to redeeming one bottle of King Energy Potion; the Pure Evil Clown couldn’t redeem it.

However, it was a student at Yantian University, and the other students would undoubtedly recognize it. For now, it would conceal its true nature. As long as it maintained a benevolent facade, it would have a chance to obtain two more bottles of King Power Potion.

“Ya Ya…”

Ya Bao gave a look of “What a nuisance!”

He didn’t want to deal with someone who harbored ill intentions towards Xiao Xunbao.

“Xun Xun~”

Xiao Xunbao suddenly realized, his eyes suddenly lighting up with a look of “So that’s how it is. “

Compared to getting the King Power Potion, what’s the harm in taking a risk and getting into further danger?

“Then be careful when you get there,” Mikaela said, giving a brief warning but not stopping him.

In her opinion, the other party was only a King-level pet, not a combat-type one. Its greatest ability was a curse, and it posed no threat to Qiao Sang at that moment.

“I understand,” Qiao Sang said, then suddenly thought of something and asked,

“Teacher, didn’t you say earlier that the Pure Evil Clown was a Yantian University pet and wouldn’t be a problem?”

Mikaela glanced at her and said,

“Nothing is absolute.”

After a pause, she added, “And the Pure Evil Clown’s actions aren’t strictly evil. Perhaps in the eyes of Yantian University, they’re simply a way to increase its strength.”

“Remember, strength is paramount everywhere.”

Qiao Sang suddenly remembered that the Pure Evil Clown’s curse not only deflected malevolence but also allowed the pets that signed photos with it to transfer some of the energy they later absorbed into their own bodies.

It felt like the evil cultivators in the world of immortal cultivation, who, even without working from 8 a.m. to 6 p.m. and meditating, could see their cultivation level rise rapidly, progressing faster than that of ordinary righteous cultivators.

Just as she was thinking, enthusiastic cheers erupted from the audience again.

Qiao Sang paused her thoughts and glanced at the virtual screen in the center of the venue.

…

Time slowly passed.

The first phase lasted two days, and most of the people stayed in their seats even into the night.

For the people of Yantian University, numerous potions and pets could help them stay awake all night, so even after two days without sleep, they didn’t show any sign of sleepiness.

Qiao Sang did return once during this period, but Teacher Mikaela remained at Summer University, forcing her to put Gangbao’s new skills on hold.

Two days passed quickly, and the first stage of the competition concluded.

The list of qualified players, all represented by virtual photos, appeared in the center of the field.

Without exception, all the teams from the top four universities in the StarCraft rankings advanced.

Qiao Sang saw the results, took out her phone, checked the time, and said,

“Teacher, I’m leaving first.”

Mikaela understood what she was about to do and warned,

“Be careful.”

“Understood,”

Qiao Sang said. She picked up the fresh-looking Xia Lala and stood up. As if she were familiar with the terrain of Yantian University, they meandered around, arriving at a restaurant.

Unlike the restaurant they had visited last time, this one was clearly more public, without private rooms. It was filled with people and pets dining.

“What do you want to talk to us about?” Qiao Sang found an empty seat and sat down.

A figure appeared out of thin air across from them. It was the Pure Evil Clown.

Previously, it had been leading the way, hidden in the dark.

“Pure Evil?”

The Pure Evil Clown barked, a hurt expression on its face, indicating that it simply wanted to know why it had been deleted after the transaction. Was it just to trick it into giving away the King Energy Potion?

The people and pets around them pricked up their ears, listening closely to the noise.

Everyone was a student at Yantian University, so they could clearly hear the surrounding noises.

Seeing this, Qiao Sang instantly understood why the Pure Evil Clown had brought her here. It was deliberately trying to spread the news to everyone around, so that she could pressure Xiao Xunbao into taking a photo and getting an autograph.

Thinking of this, she internally sighed, thinking this Pure Evil Clown was so cunning. She had previously believed it was pure and kind.

“Xunxun!”

Xiao Xunbao couldn’t stand it accusing him of such slander. He immediately cried out, “What a lie! He clearly used a magic item to exchange with you!

” “Pure Evil?”

The Pure Evil Clown stared at Xiao Xunbao and called out.

“Then why did you delete me?”

As it spoke, a faint black aura emanated from it.

Xiao Xunbao suddenly felt a surge of anger rising within him.

It was clearly his fault, so why was he playing the victim?

Negative emotions surged uncontrollably in Xiao Xunbao’s mind. Just as he was about to attack, his own beastmaster placed a hand on his shoulder.

Xiao Xunbao was stunned for a moment, then suddenly felt his mind clear.

When the Beast Taming Code reaches a certain level, it can connect with the pet and revive it from certain states.

This is why, during competitions, when a pet falls into hypnosis or a state of chaos, the Beast Tamer can revive it by saying “Stand up!”, “Wake up!”, or even calling out its name.

However, this depends on the level of the Beast Taming Code and the level of the pet performing the skill, so waking the pet isn’t always possible.

Qiao Sang looked at the Pure Evil Clown and smiled,

“Want to know? Give me another bottle of King Power Potion, and I’ll tell you.”

The Pure Evil Clown’s gaze fell on the human in front of him, and suddenly a hurt expression appeared on his face again. He cried out,

“Pure Evil!”

How could you do this?

The previous slight black energy also affected the people and pets around him.

Everyone, initially prepared to listen to gossip, quickly grew furious, each one raging with accusations.

“Someone gave you the King Power Potion, and you deleted them?”

“You said you exchanged items, but those items aren’t worthless, are they?”

“Which academy are you from?”

“Ya…”

Yabao, sensing the hostility around him, bared his teeth.

However, before he could roar, Qiao Sang covered his mouth.

Yabao: “…”

“Do you want to know?” Qiao Sang said casually, covering Yabao’s mouth.

“Sure, give me the King Power Potion, and I’ll tell you.”

The surrounding voices instantly quieted.

Then, an even angrier voice followed:

“You want the King Energy Potion just for answering a question? You’re crazy about it!”

“Which college are you from?”

“How could someone like that exist in our school?”

Qiao Sang, listening to the surrounding voices, her expression unchanged, interrupted,

“Or you could challenge me. If you beat me, I’ll tell you what you want to know. If you lose, you’ll give me the King Energy Potion.”

After a pause, she added,

“I’m a B-level Beastmaster, so I only accept challenges from opponents of my own level.”

She couldn’t defeat Beastmasters above B-level, and she felt those below that level were too much of a bully. It was better to find opponents of her own level.

The surrounding voices fell silent again.

Everyone looked at each other, momentarily struggling to connect the girl before them with a B-level Beastmaster.

Although this was Yantian University, a B-level Beastmaster wasn’t always available.

And judging by her attitude, she seemed confident in her abilities.

Just as everyone hesitated, the black aura of the Pure Evil Clown emanated faintly again.

Everyone’s emotions were heated up again:

“You want to put it on the same level as the King Energy Potion with just one answer? You’re dreaming!”

“That’s right! If you have the guts, tell me which academy you are from!”

“Pure Evil.”

The Pure Evil Clown interrupted casually.

She is not a student of our school, otherwise she wouldn’t let me exchange for the King Energy Potion.

There are many pets around, and everyone became even more angry after hearing the translation of their own pets.

Students who are not from their school are so arrogant in their school!

“Which school are you from?”

“Tell me your name if you have the guts!”

“If you have the guts, come up with something of equal value to the King Energy Potion for exchange!”

Amidst the accusations from everyone, Qiao Sang stood up, pretending to leave, and said:

“Since there is no B-level beastmaster in your school who wants to fight me, then I’ll leave first.”

At this time, a lazy voice sounded:

“Who said no one would challenge you? I’ll challenge you.”

Everyone looked in the direction of the voice.

The man walking towards them had brown hair and brown eyes, and looked to be in his early twenties. It was none other than Franklin, who had been competing not long ago.

Beside him stood the Evil Moon Rabbit with a cold expression.

Everyone was stunned at first, and then became delighted, and began to say things like, “If only Franklin could make a move, he would definitely win.   ”

The Pure Evil Clown didn’t seem to have expected that this incident would actually cause Franklin to make a move. It was stunned for a moment, and then, feeling that the time had come, it stepped forward and called out like a peacemaker: “Pure…”   There’s no need to fight. I’ll give it to you if I can give you the King Energy Potion. I just hope to cooperate with my idol…   Qiao Sang looked at Franklin not far away, laughed, and interrupted:   ”I accept your challenge.” (End of this chapter)
