Beast Taming: Starting From Zero - Chapter 1343
Chapter 1343. Today’s guest is (two-in-one)
Even if she didn’t get into the top three, she could still choose a pet beast with a maximum potential of Venerable? Qiao Sang was overjoyed, thinking, “Such a good thing?”
However, she remained composed and said, “I need to study this carefully.”
She didn’t actually know much about pet beasts with a maximum potential of Venerable. Since Dean Theresa was willing to personally help her choose, she naturally had to thoroughly research all the Venerable-level pet beasts in the entire interstellar space and pick the one most suitable for her.
After all, if she missed this opportunity, she might never have another one.
Michaela was quite pleased with this and smiled,
“This will be your last pet when you participate in the Interstellar Cup, so naturally you’ll need to study it carefully. I won’t interfere with your choice of pet, but I suggest you choose Grass or Fighting type.”
“If a Grass-type pet is well-trained, it has strong attack, fast recovery, and high defense, possessing the ability to sustain combat. Fighting-type pets have strong melee capabilities and high burst power, which is exactly what you need.”
Qiao Sang thought for a moment and said, “I prefer Grass-type pets.”
“Xia Xia.”
Just as she finished speaking, Xia Lala, who had been sitting on the sofa, floated over and called out, indicating that it was thirsty and wanted water.
Qiao Sang opened the refrigerator, took out a bottle of water, and helped open it, then said, “I’ve actually wanted to contract a Grass-type pet for a long time, but I haven’t met a suitable one yet.”
After a pause, she added, “Ideally, it would have a personality as good as Xia Lala’s.”
With that, she smiled and handed over the opened bottle of water.
“Xiaxia.”
Xia Lala’s eyes crinkled as she called out, took the water, drank a sip, and then floated to the sofa to continue watching TV.
“It’s rare to find a grass-type pet with a personality like Xia Lala’s.” Michaela glanced at Xia Lala gently.
Come to think of it, Xia Lala is a grass-type pet, a cub, which is easy to raise, and she has a good personality, which seems to fit Qiao Sang’s requirements…
The thought had barely crossed his mind when Michaela couldn’t help but laugh.
How could he have such an outrageous idea? Even a prodigy like Qiao Sang wouldn’t contract with Xia Lala.
You have to know, Xia Lala has all the powerful pets on Yan Tian Star behind her, as evidenced by the fact that the tenth seat personally asked Qiao Sang to take Xia Lala out for a trip.
“Rare doesn’t mean nonexistent.” Qiao Sang said,
“Anyway, I don’t know when my brain will break through again,
so I have plenty of time.” Michaela said, “Since you’ve decided, I’ll compile a list of grass-type pets with a level cap of Venerable for you later.”
“Thank you, teacher!” Qiao Sang immediately said.
Michaela smiled without speaking, disappearing with Penjami.
However, only three seconds later, she and Penjami reappeared in the living room.
“I almost forgot to tell you, Coach Tao from the National Beast Taming Bureau just contacted me, hoping you’d return to Blue Star after the Master Challenge and join the Dragon Kingdom Beast Taming Team to officially participate in the nation’s top competitions. However, I declined on your behalf,” Michaela stated frankly. *
I knew you’d refuse…* Qiao Sang asked, “Didn’t Coach Tao say anything?”
“What could she say?” Michaela laughed. “You’re now the youngest A-rank Beast Tamer in history. That alone proves that training outside is far more effective than closed training.”
“However, she said if the country needs you to participate in future competitions, she hopes you can go. I agreed on your behalf.”
Qiao Sang had no objections: “I’m now a member of the National Beast Taming Bureau, so it’s my duty to represent the country.”
“Some top competitions can only be participated in by members of the National Beast Taming Bureau. Participating in more of these competitions will greatly help improve your practical experience.” After saying this, Michaela looked at Penjami.
Just as Penjami’s eyes glowed blue, Michaela seemed to remember something, turned around, and added,
“Remember to charge and turn on your phone.”
Josan: “…Okay.”
Michaela and Penjami disappeared from the spot.
Josan finished her drink, went to her room, and charged her phone.
The moment she turned it on, she saw 12 missed calls, almost all from different numbers, some without even a contact name.
Where did all these people get my number…? Josan felt a headache coming
on. Just as she was about to ignore it, her phone vibrated, and another number called.
Josan: “…”
…
8:10 PM.
After dinner, Josan, Ya Bao, and Xia Lala sat on the sofa, watching the live stream of the Master Challenge.
A total of 306 players participated in the Master Challenge. Although the number of participants wasn’t that many for a competition open to all of the intergalactic world, all the participants were A-level professional Beastmasters, and the matches were 6v6 all-out battles. Therefore, to complete the matches within the allotted time, the schedule was almost entirely from morning till night.
“Ya Ya!”
“Ya Ya!”
“Xia Xia!”
Ya Bao watched the competition, excitedly calling out from time to time. Xia Lala sometimes got excited too, calling out in her own voice.
Qiao Sang, on the other hand, was writing down the winning contestants’ moves and techniques that they had never shown before.
Ting Bao, carrying a tree fruit in its mouth, wiggled its body and flew to the sofa.
Qiao Sang glanced at it and casually asked, “Why aren’t you training?”
“Ting Ting?” Ting Bao was stunned for a moment and called out.
Did it need to train?
Qiao Sang was also stunned for a moment: “Of course it does.”
“Ting Ting.”
Ting Bao called out while eating the tree fruit, indicating that it had completed its training time for the day, which was scheduled for eight hours a day.
Qiao Sang: “…”
Ting Bao really had no passion for training. It felt like a beast of burden, unwilling to do even a minute more…
“But we have a competition now, so we still need to increase the training time compared to usual.” Qiao Sang said earnestly.
“Ting Ting?”
Ting Bao nodded, indicating that it understood, and then called out, indicating how much more time was needed?
Qiao Sang thought for a moment and said,
“Two hours.”
Tingbao was the last pet she contracted, and it was a dragon-type. If she wanted to catch up with Ya Bao and the others quickly, she had to work even harder.
“Tingting.”
Tingbao stuffed a tree fruit into its mouth, swallowed it, and nodded and called out.
Although it lacked any passion for training, it was at least very obedient… Qiao Sang thought to herself.
Just as Tingbao was twisting its body, preparing to fly outside for training, the commentator’s voice came from the television:
“Now Novretter only has one high-level pet left. High-level pets are of no use in this competition. It seems that the outcome of this competition is already a foregone conclusion.”
“Tingting?”
Tingbao was silent for two seconds, looked at its beast tamer, and called out, indicating that even if it went on the field, it wouldn’t have any impact on the result.
“How could that be?” Qiao Sang looked at it and said seriously, “This competition is an all-out battle. No contestant’s pet is at the royal level. In the end, the winner may be decided by the high-level pets.”
“Tingting.”
Tingbao nodded, but it was unclear whether it had taken the advice to heart, and it turned and flew outside.
Qiao Sang still needed to get Tingbao to improve quickly, otherwise, it probably wouldn’t feel involved in such top-level competitions in the future. If it felt that the outcome of the competition didn’t matter whether it was with or without it, it wouldn’t be good if it really gave up… Qiao Sang thought to herself.
Just then, Little Xunbao appeared out of thin air, toothbrush in hand, and called out,
“Xunxun~”
It was out of toothpaste and needed to buy a new one.
Qiao Sang’s lips twitched. “Didn’t we just buy toothpaste a while ago?”
“Xunxun~”
Little Xunbao blinked and called out.
But it was already finished.
Qiao Sang: “…”
“Use mine for now, and buy more tomorrow,” Qiao Sang said.
“Xunxun~”
Little Xunbao shook its head and called out.
I checked, your toothpaste doesn’t have enough whitening ingredients, it’s not suitable for me. I think I can brush my teeth tonight.
Qiao Sang: “…Okay, go buy some.”
“Xunxun~”
Little Xunbao spread its paws.
Qiao Sang took out some money from her pocket and handed it over, instructing, “Buy more, so you don’t run out too quickly.”
“Xunxun~”
Little Xunbao nodded, took the money, its eyes glowed blue, and it disappeared from the spot.
Five minutes later, her phone vibrated.
Qiao Sang picked it up and saw a message from her senior, Kang Yang:
【Are you shopping right now?】
Qiao Sang: 【No.】
Kang Yang sent a link.
Qiao Sang clicked on it and found it was a live stream.
A stylishly dressed woman was excitedly saying to the camera:
“I’m only a few dozen meters away from Little Xunbao, which is Qiao Sang’s Netherworld Lord! But I can’t squeeze in! But family! I’ll try my best to let you see it!”
After saying that, she raised the camera high.
All around was a sea of black heads, and many pets. In the center of the encirclement, Little Xunbao was holding up a bag, grinning with two rows of big white teeth, shouting:
“Xunxun!”
“Xunxun!”
Stop pushing! Stop pushing! My toothpaste is going to fall off!
He was clearly telling others not to push, but he was grinning, clearly enjoying being jostled. “
You can teleport and pass through shadows; if you really wanted to leave, could anyone stop you?” Qiao Sang’s lips twitched slightly as she looked at Xiao Xunbao’s uncontrollable laughter on the screen.
Another message arrived:
“[Your Netherworld Lord is surrounded.]”
I knew I could become famous, but I didn’t expect it to happen so quickly. And now it seems there are far more people who like Xiao Xunbao and his companions than I imagined… Qiao Sang formed hand seals.
A mysterious, deep purple star array lit up.
The next second, Xiao Xunbao appeared within the star array.
“Xunxun…”
Xiao Xunbao looked around, then looked at its Beastmaster with a slightly resentful gaze, calling out, indicating why it had been summoned back so quickly…
“If you hadn’t come back, you would have caused a traffic jam,” Qiao Sang said calmly.
“Xunxun~”
Upon hearing this, Xiao Xunbao immediately wriggled and barked with a somewhat smug expression, indicating that it didn’t know it was so popular now.
“You’re popular because you won. If you lose the next competition…” Qiao Sang paused here, looking hesitant.
“Xunxun!”
Xiao Xunbao understood instantly and immediately barked with a serious expression.
It went to training after brushing its teeth!
After saying that, it disappeared from the spot.
I already said that, and it still didn’t forget to brush its teeth… Qiao Sang thought to herself, and looked back at the TV.
Two hours later, Lu Bao and the others returned from training one after another.
Qiao Sang glanced around and, seeing that Ting Bao was not there, asked,
“Where’s Ting Bao?”
“Bing Sheng.”
Lu Bao barked, indicating that it was still training.
Qiao Sang was surprised to hear this.
She picked up her phone and checked the time, realizing that two hours of training had already passed.
The agreed-upon training time had passed, but Tingbao was still training… This wasn’t normal… Qiao Sang looked at Xiao Xunbao, who had just returned and was already eagerly brushing his teeth again, and said,
“Take me to the training area.”
“Xunxun…”
Xiao Xunbao brushed his teeth, his eyes glowing blue.
Qiao Sang’s vision went black for a moment, and when the light returned, he found himself in his usual training area.
“Boom boom boom!”
Streaks of lightning, like flying snakes, flashed in the night sky, and Tingbao twisted his body, constantly weaving through the lightning.
Qiao Sang looked up, not wanting to disturb him.
“Xunxun…”
Xiao Xunbao called out while brushing his teeth, indicating that the sixth brother seemed to have become more diligent… Just as
he finished speaking, Tingbao, who was weaving through the lightning, seemed to sense something and twisted his body, flying downwards.
“Why are you still training?” Qiao Sang asked.
“Tingting?” Tingbao stopped in front of him and called out.
Had two hours passed?
Qiao Sang: “…We’re here.”
“Tingting.”
Tingbao called out with a look of realization, indicating that they had arrived. “Let’s go back then. “
Upon hearing this, Qiao Sang’s first thought was: No, I thought you suddenly became very diligent, but it turns out you just didn’t know the time was up…
Immediately following was her second thought: How come Tingbao doesn’t seem tired at all during training? With this personality, even if I made it train for twenty hours a day, would it agree…?
Qiao Sang suppressed these inhuman thoughts and looked at Xiao Xunbao.
“Xunxun…”
Xiao Xunbao’s eyes glowed blue, and it disappeared with its beast tamer and Tingbao.
Qiao Sang returned to the living room and found that Teacher Michaela, who had been absent, was now on the sofa.
Michaela heard the noise and looked over. Her expression was complicated, and she opened her mouth as if she wanted to say something.
“Momo.”
However, before she could speak, the Dragon King called out, indicating that they were back.
It had a smile on its face, looking quite pleased.
Michaela glanced at the Dragon King and chose to remain silent.
Qiao Sang hummed in agreement and said,
“Tingbao forgot that training time was up, so I went to call him back.”
“Momo,”
the Dragon King said with a satisfied expression, implying that forgetting about time was part of the training.
Hearing this, Qiao Sang couldn’t help but glance at Michaela, her eyes asking the Dragon King what was wrong.
She remembered that among her pets, the Dragon King disliked Tingbao the most, yet it was just now praising Tingbao—something was very strange…
Michaela pretended not to see the look and said, “Don’t train too hard. The competition is imminent; getting enough rest is also important.”
Even the teacher couldn’t see anything wrong. It seemed the Dragon King’s impression of Tingbao had simply improved… Qiao Sang nodded and said,
“Understood.”
…
Time passed quickly.
Six days later
, at nine in the morning, at the Saye International Arena,
the entire arena was packed, filled with enthusiastic spectators from all directions.
“Ladies and gentlemen! Welcome to the Master Challenge! I am your host, Nefertis!”
“I am your host, Aurol!”
“We are here to accompany you through today’s competition!”
With that, the two waved their hands in unison and announced loudly, “Today’s guest is… the Dragon King, Mordala!”
“Mordala!” (End of Chapter)
