Beast Taming: Starting From Zero - Chapter 1508

Chapter 1502, The Strange Kingdom (Two Chapters Combined)

The camera focused on the unconscious Bao Rongbo for two seconds, then zoomed in to capture the entire arena.

“Piaopiao! Piaopiao!”

the host pet called out loudly, microphone in hand.

Contestant number 23 had fallen! Just now, this year’s Ice Resistance Contest had its final champion! It was contestant number 203! Qiao Sang!

As the pet finished speaking, a blue pet, its eyes glowing blue, looked over from where the staff were gathered.

The ice shells on Qiao Sang and Bao Rongbo shattered simultaneously with a “crack.”

The next second, Bao Rongbo collapsed to the ground with a “thud,” leaving Qiao Sang alone on the field.

The camera focused on them.

It was finally over. Qiao Sang swayed slightly, but quickly regained his balance and smiled slightly at the camera.

“Piaopiao,”

the host pet exclaimed with emotion, indicating that it hadn’t expected this year’s Ice Resistance Contest champion to be a human—the first human champion in the contest’s many years of existence.

“Piao Piao!!!”

With that, it looked towards the audience and shouted, signaling for a round of applause to congratulate our champion! Contestant number 203! Human Qiao Sang!!!

A gust of cold wind blew past.

The audience was empty.

This year’s Cold Resistance Competition had been going on for seven days, and the number of spectators had dwindled day by day. Nobody knew when the competition would officially end, and by the end, hardly anyone and no pets remained.

The director was clearly aware of this and didn’t switch the camera to the audience.

But just then, a group of figures suddenly appeared out of nowhere in the audience.

“Ya Ya!”

“Xun Xun!”

“Bing Sheng.

” “Gang Quan.

” “Qing Qing!”

“Ting Ting!”

“Xia Xia!”

Qiao Sang turned her head, following the voices, and when she saw Teacher Michaela and Ya Bao, her smile widened, becoming much more genuine.

Everyone’s here!

The director paused for a moment, then gave instructions.

Immediately afterward, the camera switched to the audience, capturing Ya Bao and the others.

Hotel suite.

Qiao Sang lay on the bed and quickly fell into a deep sleep.

She didn’t know how much time had passed when she opened her eyes, feeling refreshed and invigorated, as if she had just enjoyed a comfortable “hibernation.” The lingering fatigue from the healing light had completely vanished, replaced by a feeling of comfort and ease, like taking a hot bath.

Qiao Sang sat up and stretched.

“Ya Ya!”

At that moment, Ya Bao pounced on her, excitedly calling out, indicating that she was finally awake!

Qiao Sang opened her arms to catch Ya Bao, smiling as she asked,

“Did I sleep for a long time?”

“Ya Ya!”

Ya Bao nodded vigorously.

“Xun Xun!”

Little Xun Bao raised two paws and called out, indicating that she had slept for a full two days!

“Two days?” Qiao Sang’s face was full of surprise: “I slept for that long?”

“Xun Xun~”

Little Xun Bao nodded.

“Xia Xia.”

Xia Lala, emitting a refreshing fragrance, called out sweetly, indicating that although she had slept for a long time, she was still full of energy, so there was no need to worry too much.

“I’m not worried,” Jo Sang smiled. “I received Lu Bao’s healing light before I fell asleep.”

It’s just that she slept for a bit longer than usual.

You see, usually, even if she stayed up for days, Lu Bao would just use her healing light to make all her negative statuses disappear.

This time, the negative statuses disappeared, but she still felt sleepy deep in her soul. She thought it was just ordinary sleep, but she ended up sleeping for two days. As these

thoughts flashed through her mind, a “grumble” sound suddenly rang out.

Jo Sang collected her thoughts and said, “I’m hungry.”

Half an hour later, at the dining table in the living room, Jo Sang

was eating heartily, completely lacking her usual refinement.

Michaela ate slowly and elegantly beside her.

After wolfing down four bowls of rice, Jo Sang finally let out a burp.

Michaela swallowed her food slowly and said, “Get ready, we’re leaving for Qi Kingdom today.”

Josang was taken aback: “So soon?”

“There’s a time limit for entering Qi Kingdom,” Michaela said. “The prize for the Anti-Frost Contest is a plane ticket to Qi Kingdom, and it’s today. Even if you didn’t wake up today, I was planning to wake you anyway.”

She paused, then added, “And you can only stay in Qi Kingdom for a week. The organizers of the Anti-Frost Contest have also given you a round-trip ticket.”

“Anyway, it’s already over. Can’t I just buy my own ticket back?” Josang asked.

After winning the championship, she hadn’t really looked at the prize. After Lu Bao’s healing light, she went straight back to sleep and didn’t know much about the details of the prize.

“No,” Michaela said. “The Kingdom of Qi has strict regulations for foreigners. Tickets for both entry and exit are checked and approved before being issued. If you change them, you might be deported.”

“So strict,” Qiao Sang sighed, then asked, “Teacher, can’t you come with me?”

Michaela shook her head. “There’s only one spot to enter the Kingdom of Qi. Only you can go. I’ll wait for you in the Ice Kingdom.” Qiao Sang thought to

herself, “My teacher is quite law-abiding. ”

Otherwise, with her S-rank professional beast tamer abilities, entering a strictly managed country without being detected would be a piece of cake.

Qiao Sang immediately thought of something and said, “I’ll have to trouble you to take care of Xia Bao recently.”

Although she had obtained a spot, as a beast tamer, she could only bring pets that had already been contracted. Xia Bao hadn’t been contracted yet, so she couldn’t bring her.

Upon hearing this, Michaela’s first thought was: You don’t need to tell me that.

Then came her second thought: Finally, it’s her turn to be alone with Xia Bao!

“Don’t worry, I’ll take good care of it even without you telling me,” Michaela smiled.

“Xia Xia.”

Sharara, who had been happily eating her energy meal, suddenly lost her appetite. She looked pitifully at Qiao Sang and meowed, indicating that she wanted to go with them.

Qiao Sang looked at her and sighed,

“But we don’t have a contract yet.”

Meaning, she couldn’t take her even if she wanted to.

“Xia Xia.”

Sharara understood, the flower bud on her neck wilted, and her fragrance vanished.

Qiao Sang comforted her,

“It’s only about a week. I’ll be back soon.” “

Xia Xia.”

Sharara first showed an “okay” expression, then, as if remembering something, meowed again.

“Xia Xia?”

When can we form a contract?

Qiao Sang was about to answer when she suddenly remembered something, her eyes lighting up.

“By the way, teacher, I feel like my brain has made some breakthroughs during my freezing period.”

“Xia Xia!” Sharara’s face lit up with surprise.

Michaela was stunned, her first reaction disbelief and skepticism.

How long had Qiao Sang been an A-rank Beast Tamer? How could she have made such a breakthrough in such a short time?

But she quickly realized that Josang was a pervert and couldn’t be judged by common sense.

Michaela took a deep breath, digested the information, and solemnly confirmed,

“Are you sure?”

“Not sure,” Josang said. “I do feel a breakthrough, but whether it’s truly a breakthrough or not, we still need to test it.”

Hearing this, Michaela wanted to immediately drag Josang to the Beast Taming Center for testing, but considering their flight to Qi Kingdom was about to take off, she paused for a moment and said,

“We’ll get tested when you get back.”

“Okay,” Josang nodded.

“Xiaxia?” Xia Lala called out expectantly, indicating that they could form a contract now.

“Not yet,” Josang chuckled. “I only feel a breakthrough, not that I’ve already awakened a new contract page.”

In the later stages of a Beast Tamer’s brain development, if there’s a crucial breakthrough, it can be sensed even without testing.

She felt a breakthrough in her brain, but definitely not to the point of reaching 70%.

“Xiaxia,”

Xia Lala said with a disappointed expression.

Qiao Sang stroked its head gently and said, “I’ve already felt a breakthrough in my brain, which is a good thing. I’ll definitely break through as soon as possible.”

“Xia Xia.”

Xia Lala nodded obediently.

“Xia Xia.”

Then it called out, indicating that it really couldn’t take me with it.

“It’ll only be about a week.” Qiao Sang continued gently, “Teacher Michaela will take care of you, and Xiao Xiao Pi is here too, which can help you digest. If you come with me to Qi Kingdom, you’ll not only have to worry about being discovered at any time, but you’ll also have to eat four energy meals a day and won’t be able to digest them quickly.”

Xia Lala recalled the painful feeling of eating in the past and finally gave up the idea of going to Qi Kingdom. It showed a reluctant expression and called out,

“Xia Xia.”

I’ll wait for you to come back.

High in the sky.

A silver passenger plane shuttled above the sea of clouds.

Unexpectedly, it was actually itself that Qiao Sang became the champion in the end. Qiao Sang lay on the soft and spacious luxury seat, scrolling through news about the anti-freeze competition and information about Qi Kingdom.

However, the latter news was pitifully scarce, and he didn’t find many useful pieces at all.

The passenger plane booked by the Anti-Frost Competition allowed internet access, so despite the long journey, it wasn’t too boring.

He wondered how far his brain had progressed; if he couldn’t find the Ice Crystal Fruit in Qi Country, he could take some time to test it. After scrolling through his phone for a while, Qiao Sang turned it off and began meditating.

Time slowly passed.

“TuTu.”

“The plane is about to descend. Please fasten your seatbelts and do not move.”

The voice of a pet beast came through the loudspeaker first, followed by a human voice.

Soon, the plane emerged from the clouds and landed in a bustling city.

Qiao Sang stopped meditating, opened his eyes, and looked down through the window.

Was this Qi Country?

The plane landed successfully. After a strict security check, Qiao Sang and Ya Bao boarded the pet beasts arranged by the hotel and left the airport for a five-star hotel.

This hotel was also arranged by the Anti-Frost Competition; they didn’t need to book it themselves.

Along the way, Qiao Sang observed the surrounding environment, people, and pet beasts, finding that this place was significantly more developed than the pet beast countries he had visited before.

Aside from the infrastructure, almost everyone on the street was dressed appropriately, none of them sloppy. Even the pets were all dressed up, looking quite fashionable. A quick glance revealed many rare pets, but the passersby seemed unfazed, not turning back to look at them.

“Xunxun,”

Little Xunbao exclaimed, looking at the pets’ outfits with an expression of “So cool! So beautiful! I want one!”

Suddenly, it noticed many people and pets looking in its direction, and couldn’t help but smile happily, calling out,

“Xunxun?”

Everyone’s looking at us too, did they recognize us?

Ya Bao, hearing this, puffed out its chest, striking a cool pose.

Qing Bao gracefully smoothed the white cloud pattern on its hem.

Indeed… Qiao Sang noticed quite a few eyes on them and was about to speak

when the pet that had taken them to the hotel called out in a tone devoid of mockery,

“Lv Lv.”

Everyone’s looking at you because you’re all n*ked.

Qiao Sang: “???”

Ya Bao: “???”

Xiao Xunbao: “???”

Qing Bao was silent for two seconds, then understood and quickly disappeared into the wind.

“Do all the pets here have to wear clothes?” Qiao Sang couldn’t help but ask.

The middle-aged man sitting at the front replied, “There’s no law that mandates it, but our pets do wear clothes.”

Besides the pets, their tamers were also there to pick them up.

The Qi Kingdom was indeed mysterious; even such basic information hadn’t been leaked. Qiao Sang thought to herself, “Just drop us off. I’ll go buy some clothes for the pets first, then I’ll go to the hotel myself.”

Ya Bao and the others already had quite a few items, like sunglasses and wigs, but the clothes were only bought when they participated in the coordination competition and no longer fit.

“Okay,” the middle-aged man said, “I’ll take you directly to the nearby shopping mall.”

“Okay,” Qiao Sang replied.

Five minutes later, the pets arranged by the hotel stopped outside a shopping mall that stood like a work of art.

Qiao Sang and Ya Bao went inside and, amidst strange looks, began their shopping spree in the clothing section.

A short while later, Ya Bao and the others emerged, each dressed stylishly.

The strange looks from those around them vanished instantly.

“Ting Ting,”

Ting Bao called out, looking at his clothes with a disgusted expression, indicating that nothing looked as good on him as his scales.

Qiao Sang pinned the gemstone brooch she had bought earlier onto Ting Bao’s clothes, saying, “You also need this.”

Ting Bao looked down at the gemstone on his clothes, which emitted a faint, shimmering light, and his disgusted expression disappeared immediately. He fell silent.

Qiao Sang took out her phone, opened the navigation, located the hotel, and placed it in front of Xiao Xun Bao, saying,

“Let’s go, we’ll go here.”

“Xun Xun~”

Little Xunbao looked at the navigation, its eyes glowing blue.

But just then, a commotion broke out around them. Many people and pets, their expressions excited, rushed in a certain direction.

“Xunxun,”

Little Xunbao’s curiosity kicked in, and it subconsciously dispelled the blue light in its eyes.

Qiao Sang was also curious and said,

“Let’s not go to the hotel yet, let’s go take a look.”

“Xunxun~”

Little Xunbao nodded repeatedly.

Large groups of people and pets surged towards the sixth floor of the mall.

They couldn’t see anything like this. When they reached the sixth floor, Qiao Sang looked at the dark mass of people and beasts in front of her and then at Little Xunbao.

Before her beast tamer could speak, Little Xunbao understood what was going on, its eyes glowing blue.

Immediately afterward, Qiao Sang and Ya Bao floated up.

In the center of the crowd, a sizable space opened up. Following everyone’s gaze, she saw a tall, handsome young man and a delicate pet with purple pupils and scales that shimmered with a crimson luster.

Qiao Sang stared intently at the red gemstone hanging around the exquisite pet’s neck, unable to look away.

This gemstone…it looked so much like a Yang Vortex Crystal! (End of Chapter)
