Beast Taming: Starting From Zero - Chapter 1553

1553. Chapter 1547 The Sick Gilbert (Two Chapters Combined)

Blue Star.

Dragon Kingdom, Yuhua Region.

A research center, outdoors.

A snarling Flame Listening Hound suddenly emitted a dazzling white light, its size slowly increasing with the light.

A short while later, the white light dissipated, and a Blazing Star Hound appeared in sight.

Its expression was extremely furious, showing no sign of diminishing despite its evolution.

Liu Yao was prepared and said, “Ring.”

“Ring ring~”

A pet beast floating in mid-air beside him, resembling a bell, barked and shook its body.

“Ding-a-ling, ding-a-ling.”

The sound of bells, like a sonata of nature, rang out, the invisible sound waves spreading in all directions with the breeze.

The Blazing Star Hound’s angry expression gradually disappeared, turning into one of ecstasy.

“Great, Dr. Liu!” the assistant said happily, “We have another Blazing Star Hound.”

Liu Yao smiled, about to speak.

Suddenly, an aged but excited voice rang out from afar: “Liu Yao! Liu Yao!”

Liu Yao turned his head and saw Dr. Wang, with gray hair and advanced age, running excitedly towards him.

Dr. Wang is 96 years old this year. He has conducted numerous outstanding studies and is a senior researcher. However, due to a lack of talent in his brain, he is only an E-level Beastmaster, so he only has the lifespan of an ordinary person. 96 years old is definitely advanced age for him. He usually walks slowly, as if afraid of accidentally falling. This is the first time Liu Yao has seen him run in many years.

He was startled and quickly gestured to the Sky Manifestation Bat beside him.

The Sky Manifestation Bat understood, its eyes glowing blue as it looked at the old man running towards it.

Dr. Wang disappeared into thin air and reappeared next to the Sky Manifestation Bat.

“What happened? Why are you so agitated?” Liu Yao asked.

You see, Dr. Wang has the lifespan of an ordinary person, and his mentality is also that of an elderly person. He is usually extremely calm and composed, and nothing seems to stir his emotions. Even when he successfully researched the evolution conditions of the new form of the Fire Fang Dog, he was not this agitated.

“Qiao Sang, Qiao Sang has become an S-rank Beastmaster!” Dr. Wang exclaimed excitedly, “An 18-year-old S-rank Beastmaster! Unprecedented! Unprecedented!”

Liu Yao: “!!!”

“You, what did you say?” Liu Yao took a long time to find his voice.

“You didn’t know?” Dr. Wang was momentarily stunned: “I thought you would know before me.”

In his opinion, young people nowadays love all kinds of social media platforms. Putting himself in his shoes, if he could become an S-rank Beastmaster at 18, he would definitely send the news to all kinds of social media platforms immediately, wanting the whole world to know. Liu Yao had Qiao Sang’s circle of friends, and he thought he would be the first to know.

“What do I know?” Liu Yao was completely bewildered. “Where did you see this news? Qiao Sang only recently became an A-level Beast Tamer, and you’re saying she’s already an S-level Beast Tamer?”

Dr. Wang exclaimed excitedly, “Of course I saw it on the news! All the media outlets reported it, even the Interstellar Times reported it! You know, it’s a renowned and authoritative media outlet throughout the entire interstellar space; they never report fake news!” It

really was true! Liu Yao’s mind went blank for a moment, and he no longer doubted the veracity of the news.

The Interstellar Times, one of the most authoritative media outlets in the entire interstellar space, is known for its speed, accuracy, and objectivity. It’s the “news source” for all interstellar media, and almost all news released through this interstellar media is the latest and most accurate, possessing extremely high authority in interstellar news.

No one would doubt the authenticity of news released through its channels.

18 years old? Only 18 years old and already an S-level Beast Tamer? Liu Yao felt his mind was completely unable to process such astonishing news.

“An 18-year-old S-rank Beast Tamer!” Dr. Wang exclaimed excitedly, “I’ve never seen anything like it in my life! I’ve never even heard of an 18-year-old A-rank Beast Tamer before, let alone one at the same age! What incredible talent! Such a genius is actually in our Blue Star Dragon Kingdom! And she’s even doing research with us! She’ll definitely shine in the Interstellar Cup!”

Liu Yao stared blankly, not responding; he was still processing what was happening.

“Liu Yao! Liu Yao!”

It wasn’t until Dr. Wang called him several times that he reacted, taking a deep breath and speaking with a slightly trembling voice,

“I’ll call Qiao Sang and ask!”

“Call her quickly!” Dr. Wang said, then, as if remembering something, added, “Remember to put it on speakerphone; I want to hear the voice of an 18-year-old S-rank Beast Tamer!”

Liu Yao dialed the number with great excitement.

Soon, a voice came from the speakerphone:

“Sorry, the number you dialed is currently busy.”

Mid-space region, National Defense Bureau.

A huge virtual screen was displaying news:

“It is reported that 18-year-old Qiao Sang, who just won the Master Challenge, has become an S-class Beastmaster, becoming the most talented and youngest S-class Beastmaster in interstellar history. According to netizens on Yantian Star, Qiao Sang not only became the youngest S-class Beastmaster in history, but also formed a contract with Yantian Star’s phantom beast, Xia Lala.”

Even though the coaches and players watching the news had already heard it a dozen minutes earlier, they still subconsciously held their breath when they saw it again.

After a dozen seconds, the news finished playing, some fell silent, others cheered; the former was mostly composed of players, the latter mostly of coaches and leaders.

The people around Coach Tao swarmed around him, excitedly exclaiming,

“Coach Tao, you have such good taste! You discovered this gem, Qiao Sang, so early and recruited her into the National Beast Taming Bureau so soon!”

“18 years old! 18 years old! I never imagined that our Blue Star Dragon Kingdom could produce such a peerless genius!”

“It’s insane! It’s truly insane! If so many authoritative media outlets hadn’t reported on this, I really wouldn’t believe that there could be such a monstrously talented beast tamer in the world! And from the same planetary nation as us!”

Coach Tao grinned from ear to ear, saying, “Not at all, Qiao Sang already showed amazing talent back then, and her entry into the National Beast Taming Bureau was approved by the leadership. If we’re talking about vision, the leadership has the foresight.”

Several leaders beside him laughed heartily at the flattery.

One of the leaders said, “Qiao Sang is already an S-rank Beastmaster. Shouldn’t we call her back for formal training? With her talent, I believe it won’t be long before she’s able to compete in official matches.” “

Yes, yes, yes,” another leader said. “This year’s Star Cup has just ended. Let Qiao Sang come back and participate in more matches. Maybe she can qualify for the next Star Cup.”

“That’s too exaggerated,” one of the coaches said with a laugh. “Many professional S-rank Beastmasters haven’t been able to obtain official competition qualifications for years. Even if Qiao Sang’s talent is monstrous, it will probably take her several years.”

“That’s right,” another coach chimed in. “Qiao Sang has only just become an S-rank Beastmaster. It will probably take some time before she becomes a professional S-rank Beastmaster.”

“Then we can let her come back to compete sooner,” the leader who spoke first said. “Participating in more competitions will help her accumulate experience and qualify for the Interstellar Cup sooner.”

Coach Tao shared his opinion: “Actually, I think it’s good for Qiao Sang to stay with the teachers at the Imperial Beastmaster Academy. If she had entered the National Beastmaster Bureau for training earlier, I don’t think she could have improved so quickly and even won the Master Challenge.”

“That’s because Qiao Sang has such talent. What’s the use of having the best mentors and coaches if someone doesn’t have such strong talent?” the leader said. “You can call Qiao Sang and ask her. I believe she also wants to come back as soon as possible and qualify for the Interstellar Cup.”

With the leaders saying so, Coach Tao naturally had no objections. She took out her phone and, amidst everyone’s attention, dialed Qiao Sang’s number.

A short while later, a voice came from the other end:

“Sorry, the number you dialed is currently busy.”

Super Star.

Saint Luo Hospital.

As the largest and most secretive hospital in the First District, all patients who come here are either wealthy or powerful. Leading experts from various fields across the top three districts take turns being stationed here.

At this moment, in the hospital’s VIP ward, Gilbert lay on the bed with a blank expression, staring at the ceiling, looking ashen-faced and as if his soul had left his body.

“Lingling?”

Lingling looked at the doctor who had just examined him and called out with concern.

“Yuyu.” The grass-like pet beside him translated.

The female doctor in the white coat said, “He has suffered severe psychological trauma, which is why he’s like this.”

“Lingling?” Lingling looked shocked and called out, indicating that he couldn’t possibly have suffered psychological trauma.

“Yuyu.” The grass-like pet beside him translated.

“That’s what you should be asking,” the female doctor said, looking at it. “You’ve been by his side the whole time, you should know what he’s been through.”

“Lingling,”

Lingling thought for a moment, then called out, indicating that it had only seen a news report and was already like this.

The female doctor seemed to have known all along, and sneered, “It’s about Qiao Sang becoming an S-rank Beastmaster, isn’t it?”

Her tone wasn’t a question, but a statement.

“Lingling,”

Lingling nodded. Serves

it right. The female doctor glanced at Gilbert on the hospital bed, her usual respect gone, and cursed inwardly, but outwardly maintained her professional ethics, calmly saying,

“There’s nothing seriously wrong. I’ll arrange for a pet specializing in treating emotional trauma to come and treat him.”

After saying that, she asked, “Hasn’t the patient’s family come?”

You see, usually, when someone of this caliber comes to the hospital, they’re always surrounded by a bunch of people.

Lingling was about to speak when suddenly, the phone on the bedside table rang, someone was calling.

Gilbert was still staring blankly at the ceiling, as if he hadn’t heard it.

The female doctor approached and looked at the caller ID: Wife.

She picked up the phone, wanting to tell Gilbert about his condition.

The call connected, and before she could even speak, a furious roar came from the speakerphone:

“Look what you’ve done!”

It seemed Dean Gilbert’s family had also seen the news. The female doctor, deeply understanding the woman’s emotions, said,

“Hello, this is St. Lawrence Hospital. The owner of this phone is currently in the hospital, lying in a hospital bed. Would it be convenient for you to come over?”

“He’s faking illness again!” The woman on the other end was still furious: “He was perfectly fine when he left this morning! How could an S-rank Beastmaster fall ill so easily! He faked illness when Josang became the Master Challenge champion a while ago, and now he’s doing it again! Does he think I’d believe him?!” “

I totally understand your anger,” the female doctor thought to herself, maintaining her professional ethics, and said, “This time he’s really sick.”

“Since he’s sick, he should stay in the hospital and not come back!” The woman on the other end of the speakerphone finished speaking and slammed down the phone.

The female doctor calmly placed her phone back on the bedside table, saying, “Take good care of your Beastmaster, and it would be best to contact the family again.” Then, she left the ward with her pet.

“Lingling…”

Lingling looked at her Beastmaster, who lay on the bed with a blank expression, and felt a pang of sadness. She didn’t know why he had suddenly become like this. Lately, it seemed like no one she encountered treated her Beastmaster well, especially today; even the doctors here seemed to dislike her Beastmaster,

Tianyuanxing.

Mechanical Kingdom.

Qiao Sang paid for her sparring session and walked out of the Super Iron Pet Battle Club, hanging up a barrage of calls.

Through the constant stream of new messages, she learned that news of her becoming an S-rank Beastmaster and her contract with Sharara had spread.

She hadn’t expected the news to spread so quickly after Xiao Xunbao’s live stream. She wondered if it was because of that suddenly appearing mechanical pet. After understanding what was going on, Qiao Sang immediately turned off her phone.

She worried that if she didn’t, the calls would continue until the evening.

Now that she could multitask, while helping Xia Bao train, she also heard Xiao Xunbao’s live stream and naturally knew that it had told everyone about becoming an S-rank Beastmaster.

“Xunxun?”

Xiao Xunbao looked puzzled and called out, as if to say, “How does everyone know you’ve become an S-rank Beastmaster?”

Qiao Sang looked at it and chuckled,

“It’s because you just said it in the live stream.”

Xiao Xunbao was taken aback at first, then grinned, scratched its head, and looked both embarrassed and proud, calling out,

“Xunxun~”

It hadn’t expected its casual remark to spread so quickly.

Qing Bao rolled its eyes beside it.

Qiao Sang laughed, “Have you forgotten how many fans you have? And your fans come from all over the galaxy, from every planet. Of course, what you say will spread quickly.”

“Xunxun~”

Xiao Xunbao’s expression became even more embarrassed and proud.

Qingbao couldn’t stand it anymore and was about to say something sarcastic when she suddenly noticed that passersby and some mechanical pets around her had stopped and were looking at her with excited and strange eyes. She straightened her posture and elegantly smoothed the white cloud pattern on her hem.

It seemed that quite a few people on Tianyuan Star knew about it. Qiao Sang also noticed the surrounding gazes and said,

“Let’s go back directly.”

“Xunxun~”

Little Xunbao’s eyes glowed blue, and she disappeared with her beast tamer and Ya Bao.
