Beast Taming: Starting From Zero - Chapter 1440

1440. Chapter 1435: The Final Match of the Champions League Round Robin (Part 2)

I didn’t expect Gangbao, who sometimes teases me, to be so honest when he’s asleep…

Qiao Sang wanted to laugh, but a tender feeling welled up inside her.

If Gangbao knew that she could know his thoughts while he was asleep, she wondered if he could still sleep so soundly…

Speaking of which, Gangbao used to wake up at the slightest noise, but now he’s much less wary…

Qiao Sang gathered her thoughts, looked at the computer, and continued to bury herself in coding.

In the quiet, dimly lit room, only the “clack-clack” of the keyboard could be heard.

…

At 7:30 in the morning, in the dimly lit room, Qiao Sang put the computer aside.

Suddenly, a faint blue light shone in, and all the fatigue disappeared.

After the faint blue light disappeared, Qiao Sang turned to look at Lu Bao in the water tank and smiled, “Awake so early?”

“Ice Saint,”

Lu Bao called out, indicating that she had just woken up.

After speaking, she leaped out of the water tank.

Gangbao opened his eyes, and Qingbao and Tingbao also woke up.

Only Ya Bao was fast asleep, drool still dribbling from the corner of its mouth.

“Qing Qing?”

Qing Bao looked around and called out, indicating that Little Xun Bao was missing.

Qiao Sang sensed Little Xun Bao’s location in her mind, a look of surprise flashing across her face. She said, “It’s in its usual training spot; it should be training.”

“Qing Qing…”

Qing Bao silently gritted its teeth, revealing a “damn it” expression.

This guy actually sneaked off to train! She had finally caught up a little, and now the gap was about to widen again…

Qiao Sang listened to the “damn it, damn it” whispers around her, but remained unfazed, pretending not to hear them.

“Qing Qing.”

Suddenly, Qing Bao remembered that its Beastmaster was still beside it. It quickly composed itself, showing a look of admiration, and called out, indicating that Little Xun Bao had become more diligent.

“Qing Qing!”

After saying that, it immediately floated towards the door, calling out again, indicating that it was also going to train!

“Wait!” Qiao Sang’s lips twitched as she called out to it.

“Qing Qing?” Qing Bao turned its head and looked over.

“It’s breakfast time now. We’ll train after we finish eating,” Qiao Sang said.

“Qingqing…”

Qingbao was a little reluctant.

But Xiao Xunbao…

Before she could finish speaking, Qiao Sang formed a hand seal.

A mysterious and deep purple star array lit up in the room.

Upon seeing this, Qingbao’s reluctant expression instantly disappeared.

A short while later, Xiao Xunbao appeared in the star array.

“Xunxun~”

Xiao Xunbao blinked at the sudden change in the scene before her, then wiped non-existent sweat from her forehead and called out, indicating that everyone was awake.

“Ice Saint,”

Lu Bao called out, indicating that Ya Bao was still asleep.

After speaking, she opened her mouth, and a small stream of water sprayed onto Ya Bao’s face.

“Ya Ya!”

Ya Bao suddenly opened her eyes, showing a “what happened” expression, and sat up abruptly.

“Ice Saint,”

Lu Bao called out, indicating that everyone was awake now.

Josang smiled and said, “Since everyone’s awake, let’s get ready and have breakfast first.”

With that, she put on her slippers, went to the window, and “whoosh!” pulled back the curtains.

Sunlight rushed in, instantly making the entire room exceptionally bright.

The morning sun, past seven, had already illuminated the entire Tan Kingdom.

“Ice Saint.” “

Xunxun~”

“Gangquan.

” “Qingqing. ” “Tingting

.”

“Yaya!”

…

In the living room, at the dining table.

Josang and Yabao were all seated.

Zongte Bear brought out the fragrant dishes one by one.

“Did you sleep well last night?” Michaela asked while eating a sandwich.

“I didn’t sleep at all yesterday,” Josang said, taking a sip of milk.

Michaela glanced at her, not particularly surprised.

This wasn’t the first time her student, relying on Lubao’s healing light, had stayed up all night.

“Are you still researching Leifeld?” Michaela asked.

Josang hummed in agreement. “I’ve prepared several additional battle plans, so we’ll be prepared if a similar situation arises during the match.”

Michaela nodded in satisfaction. “Having more battle plans is good. Lefebvre sometimes really doesn’t play by the rules.”

After saying that, she seemed to remember something and glanced subtly at Sharara, who was engrossed in eating her energy meal. A hint of reluctance flashed in her eyes as she said, “Today is the last match of the Master Challenge. The awards ceremony will be held immediately afterward. Do you want to contact the tenth seat in advance?”

Upon hearing the words “tenth seat,” Sharara, who was eating her energy meal, realized something, her body stiffened, and she stopped eating abruptly, her ears perked up.

Contact the tenth seat? Josang was stunned for a moment, then understood and looked at Sharara.

Sharara felt the gaze and her body stiffened even more.

“Yes, once the competition is over, I’ll have to leave Yantian Star and say goodbye to Xia Lala…” Qiao Sang paused for two seconds, then said,

“Let’s wait until the competition is over.”

The thought of parting with Xia Lala filled her with reluctance, and she subconsciously didn’t want to think about it first.

“Alright,” Michaela said.

The entire living room fell silent.

Xia Lala looked at the energy meal in front of her and suddenly lost her appetite.

“Ya Ya!”

Ya Bao, who had a good appetite, finished his energy meal and shouted, indicating he wanted another plate!

…

An hour later.

On the open ground.

“Bang!”

“Bang!”

“Bang!”

Ya Bao and the others had already begun their training.

“Lu Bao, your opponent is most likely a Nebula Fairy. I’ve thought about it, and besides ignoring it when it uses its charm, and freezing it directly, there’s another way: have its entire face covered by ice armor from the start, with a thinner layer around the eyes…” Qiao Sang rattled off his latest ideas to Lu Bao.

Lu Bao listened attentively.

“Xia Xia…”

Xia Lala saw this scene, seemed to remember something, and looked somewhat forlorn.

“Ting Ting?”

Ting Bao looked at Xia Lala, then at the direction it was looking, twisted its body and flew over, calling out, “Why are you always staring at my Beastmaster?”

“Xia Xia?”

Xia Lala quickly looked away, calling out, “Really?”

“Ting Ting.”

Ting Bao nodded, calling out, “If you have something to say to her, go over there.”

“Xia Xia?”

Xia Lala changed the subject, calling out, “Why aren’t you training?”

“Tingting,”

Tingbao called out, indicating that whether it trained or not wouldn’t make any difference in the match; even if it went on the field, it would just be giving away points.

“Xiaxia,”

Xia Lala instinctively gave a “that’s true” look, then realized what it meant, quickly waved its paws, and called out,

“Xiaxia!”

” That’s not what it meant!

“

Tingbao called out indifferently, implying that it didn’t matter if he meant it that way; what he said was the truth.

Then, it glanced at Xia Lala and called out,

“Tingting?

After this competition ends, are you going to be separated from us? “

Xia Lala froze.

“Tingting?”

Seeing Xia Lala’s reaction, Tingbao called out again, implying that she didn’t want to be separated from them.

“Xia Xia…”

Xia Lala blushed instantly.

“Tingting.”

Tingbao understood and called out, implying that if she didn’t want to be separated from them, she could come with them.

“Xia Xia…”

Xia Lala sighed and called out, implying that she wanted to too, but Qiao Sang didn’t have a new contract page.

“Tingting?!”

Tingbao was stunned at first, then looked astonished.

What? You want to form a contract with my Beastmaster?!

“Xia Xia!”

Xia Lala was startled and quickly floated up to cover its mouth.

It cautiously glanced at Qiao Sang, and seeing that she hadn’t noticed them at all, it breathed a sigh of relief but was also inexplicably disappointed.

Tingbao pulled off Xia Lala’s paw, looked it over, and called out,

“Tingting.”

If you want to form a contract with my Beastmaster, go and talk to her.

“Xia Xia…”

Xia Lala looked at Qiao Sang and called out somewhat awkwardly, indicating that she would wait until the competition was over…

“Tingting.”

Tingbao showed an “okay” expression and called out.

At the same time, in the distance, Penjiamei opened her eyes, looking at Xia Lala with suspicion, then at Qiao Sang.

Something big seems to have happened…

In a flash of thought, Jiu Bugu appeared, exuding an aura of loneliness, gazing into the distance, and called out,

“Jiu Jiu?”

Do you think the tenth seat will agree to help it?

“Pen Pen?”

Penjiamei glanced at it.

What help?

“Jiu Jiu.”

Jiu Bugu called out, indicating that it would help it find Shipante.

“PenPen.”

Penjiamei glanced at Qiao Sang and Xia Lala in the distance, a serious expression on its face, and called out, indicating that it might beat you up.

“Jiujiu?”

Jiu Bugu’s lonely aura vanished instantly, replaced by a shocked expression, and it called out.

Wasn’t Qiao Sang supposed to have a good relationship with the Tenth Seat? And what about its contact information?

“PenPen.”

Penjiamei called out deeply, indicating that their relationship might be about to break down.

Jiu Bugu: “???”

…

7:30 PM.

Saye International Arena.

Under the night sky, neon lights flashed continuously in the arena, outlining a dazzling silhouette.

The entire arena was bustling with noise, and the audience held up glow sticks, forming a flowing sea of stars.

The competition was still half an hour away from officially starting, and the host hadn’t even appeared yet, but the audience seats were already full of people and pets, everyone’s faces filled with anticipation, and the noise was like a surging tide, resounding endlessly.

“There are so many people and pets!”

“When does the match start? I can’t wait!”

“What’s the rush? There’s only half an hour left.”

“Who do you think will win, Lefebvre or Josang?”

“It seems like either of them could win.”

“It has to be Lefebvre. His Hellfire Base is already at the late-stage Emperor level. As long as it doesn’t directly face Josang’s Nether Ring Monarch, it can win at least two rounds.”

“It might not even win against Steel Authority Emperor. If Steel Authority Emperor uses Absolute Defense to block attacks while also using a Super-Tier skill, it might be able to beat Hellfire Base.”

“What are you thinking? Hellfire Base won’t just stand there and take a beating. Besides, it’s already at the late-stage Emperor level. In terms of attack power, it’s definitely stronger than Steel Authority Emperor.”

“Isn’t Lefebvre’s ace Nebula Fairy?”

“Actually, there’s a lot of debate about who Lefebvre’s ace is. Purely in terms of attack power, I think it’s definitely Hellfire Base, but Nebula Fairy once defeated five opponents in a row. Its overall strength is ridiculously strong.”

“Even Hellfire and Nebula Fairy couldn’t withstand the Holy Fire of the Burning Emperor.”

“That depends on whether it will be attacked. Everyone knows the Burning Emperor has the Holy Fire, so Lefebvre will definitely be on guard.”

“I feel like Ice Saint Asia’s Absolute Zero could instantly kill one.”

“That also depends on which pet it’s fighting.”

“I really want to watch the match now, why hasn’t it started yet!”

…

Meanwhile.

VIP room.

“Ya Ya!”

“Gang Quan.”

“Qing Qing.”

Ya Bao, Gang Bao, and Qing Bao were warming up by moving their claws and wings.

Little Xun Bao was brushing its teeth frantically.

Lu Bao and Ting Bao were quietly staying to the side.

Qiao Sang sat on the sofa, scrolling through her phone, replying to messages from friends and family.

Michaela was also on her phone, chatting enthusiastically in a group chat.

[Michaela is really lucky, how did she get a student like Qiao Sang?]

[Sigh, if I didn’t already have students I had to teach individually, Qiao Sang would definitely be under my care.] [

If Josan wins today, Michaela’s ancestors will be incredibly lucky.]

[Even if Josan doesn’t win, her ancestors will still be incredibly lucky.]

Michaela: [(spinning)]

The group chat went silent for a moment, then changed the subject.

【Today is the last match of the Master Challenge, right? After this match, do you and Qiao Sang want to go back to Blue Star? @Michaela】

【@Michaela, come back! We haven’t gotten together in ages.】

【Go back to Blue Star? Come to Tianyuan Star! The Interstellar Cup qualifiers have already started. If you and Qiao Sang come, you might be able to catch the last few Interstellar Cup matches.】

【@Wang Yin, tell others to go to Tianyuan Star, you stay here.】

【So what if I’m on Tianyuan Star? Just tell me if you want to come watch the Interstellar Cup.】

Michaela sent a message: 【Okay, I was planning to go to Tianyuan Star next anyway, but the Interstellar Cup tickets…】

【Just bring Qiao Sang, I’ll take care of the tickets.】

Michaela couldn’t help but laugh out loud.

She loved seeing these old guys who disliked her but wanted to get close to Qiao Sang through her, forced to fawn over her.

Hearing the sudden laughter, Josang turned to look at Michaela and asked curiously, “Teacher, what are you laughing at?”

“Nothing,” Michaela changed the subject, “The competition is about to start, are you nervous?”

Josang put down her phone, felt a little, and smiled, “A little, but mostly excited.”

“Excited is good,” Michaela said, “Just play to your usual level.”

After saying that, she thought of something and added, “Don’t feel any pressure during the competition. Even if you lose, I’ll get you the Sun Crystal.”

Upon hearing this, Josang was stunned for a moment, her first thought being: If you hadn’t mentioned it, I would have been so focused on the competition that I almost forgot about the Sun Crystal…

Then her second thought came to mind: Teacher Michaela is awesome! A

look of surprise flashed across Josang’s face, and just as she was about to speak, a deafening cheer suddenly erupted outside.

Then a familiar voice rang out throughout the arena:

“Ladies and gentlemen! All the audience members here! Welcome to the Saye International Arena! This is also the venue for the final match of the Grand Master Challenge’s round-robin tournament!”
