Beast Taming: Starting From Zero - Chapter 1309

1309. Chapter 1304 will be in a month

It was 7 p.m.

at Mili Restaurant, in a luxuriously decorated private room.

Several waiters streamed in, delivering delicious dishes.

Yabao and the others devoured the food with hearty mouthfuls. Even Jiubugu, who spent most of his time in melancholy, enjoyed the food with hearty mouthfuls, his eyes occasionally lighting up, evidently delighted with the taste.

As Mikala cut into the steak, she said, “You’ve become an A-Class Professional Beast Tamer. You should have informed the Dragon Kingdom’s National Beast Taming Bureau. However, once they know, they’ll probably ask you to return for training immediately. To avoid any hassle, I think it’s best to wait a few years before telling them.”

Qiao Sang took a sip of her drink and said, “Isn’t it said that only those who haven’t become an A-Class Professional Beast Tamer within twenty years will be required to return for training?”

“That’s because they think you’ll have to wait around twenty years to become an A-Class Professional Beast Tamer.” Mikala smiled. “Generally, international and interstellar competitions are only open to A-Class Professional Beast Tamers. If you become an A-Class Professional Beast Tamer, they won’t let you go.”

“Of course, it’s okay if they know. I can’t ask you to return for training so soon. It’s just a bit troublesome.”

“Let’s not talk about it for now,” Qiao Sang said nonchalantly.

Although she also wanted to participate in some international and interstellar competitions, for now she wanted to see more outside. Her strength was steadily increasing anyway.

A thought struck her, and she asked, “What’s the lifespan of an Abyss Spider?”

Abyss Spiders are king-level pets. While king-level pets can live for quite a while, insect-type king-level pets generally have shorter lifespans than king-level pets of other species.

The examiner, Red, lived nearly a thousand years. Teacher Mikaela remembered him entering the Beast Tamer Alliance at age 502. To have entered at that age, he must have been an A-level professional Beast Tamer by then.

He’s still an A-level professional Beast Tamer now, meaning he hadn’t had the opportunity to contract a new pet during that time.

That examiner was nearly a thousand years old. Even the Abyssal Spider, contracted at 500 years old, was only over 400 years old. But she remembered that the average age of a King-level Insect-type pet wasn’t that long.

And that Lei Le Dragon, with its hot temper and vibrant energy, didn’t look like a Dragon-type pet that lived for centuries. Older Dragon-type pets were supposed to be mature and steady like the Dragon King, imbued with the aura of a powerful being honed through the years… Qiao Sang thought as she glanced in the direction of the Dragon King. He

was picking something between his teeth with his paw raised.

Uh, Teacher Mikaela was only around 200 years old. The Dragon King must be quite young for an Emperor-level Dragon… Qiao Sang quickly looked away, pretending she hadn’t seen it.

Mikaela thought for a moment and replied, “The average age is about 230.”

After that, she asked, “Why are you asking this suddenly?”

Qiao Sang was stunned for a moment, and instead of answering, he asked, “That’s not right. If he’s only 230 years old, how could the examiner who helped me with the assessment have an Evil Abyss Spider? Didn’t he join the Beast Tamer Alliance when he was about 500 years old and become an A-level professional Beast Tamer?”

Mikaela immediately understood what Qiao Sang wanted to ask and said with a smile,

“At the level of an A-level professional Beast Tamer, unless you contract some pets with extremely long lifespans, or cultivate your pets to at least the Royal level, few pets can live to the average age of an A-level professional Beast Tamer.”

Qiao Sang digested it for a moment, then thought of something and said suddenly, “

“Are you saying that Examiner Red’s previously contracted pet is gone?”

Mikaela hummed. “The Abyss Spider should be the new pet he’ll contract with now that his Beast Taming page has been vacated.”

When a pet dies unexpectedly, the Beast Tamer’s brain is severely damaged. However, when a pet dies of natural causes due to end of life, the Beast Tamer isn’t significantly affected, and any minor effects will recover after a while.

At that point, the newly vacated contract page can be used to contract a new pet.

“So, even if you don’t want to become a professional Beast Tamer, Beast Tamers with some talent will consider a pet with a high cap,” Mikaela continued. “Because that way, the contracted pet has the potential to accompany you for life.”

Then, a thought struck her, and she spoke earnestly:

“One of the requirements for participating in the Star Cup is to be an S-rank Beast Tamer, requiring seven pets. You only have one contract slot left, so you can’t rely on superficiality. With your talent and qualifications, it’s possible to find a pet with a cap of Venerable rank.”

“You’re only a teenager, and you’re already an A-rank Professional Beast Tamer. Even if you don’t participate in the Star Cup anymore, finding a pet with a high skill level will be beneficial to you.”

“Tingting…”

Tingbao, still eating, couldn’t help but glance up at the annoying human.

It felt as if the human was mocking it.

At this thought, Tingbao’s body arced uncontrollably.

Qiao Sang noticed the movement and glanced at it.

The arcs on Tingbao’s body instantly subsided.

“I understand,” Qiao Sang said. “But I think it’s too early to say that. I’ve only just become an A-rank Professional Beast Tamer, and I’m still a long way from S-rank.”

That’s true… Mikaela smiled, but didn’t continue the conversation. Instead, she asked,

“What are your plans?”

Qiao Sang thought for a moment and said, “I plan to take Shalala to more fun places while

I search for the Sun Crystal.” After finding the Sun Crystal, he would leave Yantian Star and be separated from Shalala. It would be best to take her to more fun places while he was there.

After all, after she left, she didn’t know if the Tenth Seat would still let Xia Lala out to play.

“Qingqing,”

Xia Lala heard the conversation, looked up and called out sweetly, saying there was no need to take her somewhere fun; she could go anywhere.

“How could that be?” Qiao Sang smiled. “We agreed to take you out for fun.”

“Qingqing…”

Xia Lala was stunned.

After all this time together, she’d actually forgotten about the fun…

Mikaela didn’t understand what Xia Lala was saying, but after hearing Qiao Sang’s words, she vaguely guessed something. She was about to speak

when she heard something and turned to look out the window.

Qiao Sang turned his head as well.

He saw a gigantic flying pet, flapping its wings, slowly passing by the window.

A huge holographic screen was mounted to its side.

The sky was filled with a surreal and dazzling advertisement.

Along with a holographic image and a professional voice, a brilliant font appeared in the air:

“The Masters Challenge will take place in a month. This competition, covering hundreds of countries and regions around the world, will bring together the best A-level professional beastmasters to compete for a prize pool of 1 billion Alliance Coins and the ultimate glory. Qualified A-level professional beastmasters are welcome to sign up. Let us witness the perfect resonance of the Beastmaster Era and the Beastmaster Spirit together.” (End of this chapter)
