Beast taming, starting from zero point

Chapter 134: Chapter 129 News

However, nobody paid attention to this scene, as everyone’s focus was on the Flame Listening Dog at the moment.

Shi Gaofeng and Wang Yao stared blankly at the unusually wide Flame Vortex before them.

This, this is a success on the first try?

Impossible…

You should know that compressing and transforming their skills is something they can only see definite progress on each week based on previous efforts.

Today’s test was only a success after a whole month of rigorous training.

However, not only did the Flame Listening Dog succeed, but the width of the Flame Vortex it released seemed almost equal to that of Wang Yao’s Great Flame Sparrow… Shi Gaofeng turned his head towards the still dazed Wang Yao.

Wang Yao was in a daze, seemingly lost in thought.

“Yan Yan!”

Meanwhile, the Great Flame Sparrow fluttered its wings on the spot, locking its gaze on Yaobao with a fighting spirit, no longer displaying its usual laziness.

“Ya.”

Yaobao itself was sharing the success with its own Beast Tamer when it heard the call of the Great Flame Sparrow and turned to make eye contact.

From the gaze of the Great Flame Sparrow, it saw a will to fight.

Yaobao hesitated for a moment, and then its gaze shifted, looking back without any hint of backing down.

“Ya!”

“Yan Yan!”

The two Fire Attribute Beasts locked eyes, sparks flying between them. Had it not been for their Beast Tamers being close by, they might have already started clashing.

Qiao Sang watched from the sidelines without intervening.

In her opinion, competition among Pet Beasts was a good thing, as it would encourage progress. If Wang Yao was willing, they could arrange a private battle.

“Ahem.” Zheng Guoping cleared his throat.

Only then did everyone turn to look at him.

Qiao Sang looked at Zheng Baolong and hesitated, “Teacher, what happened to your forehead?”

Zheng Guoping looked at Qiao Sang with complicated eyes.

Feeling the pain on his forehead, he took a deep breath and said, “I’m fine.”

Who else could he blame?

Blame himself, of course. For running blindly forward without believing in the capabilities of a genius.

…

After finishing the day’s training, Qiao Sang dragged her exhausted body back to her dormitory.

Yaobao lay on the ground, lacking the energy to float in the air and practice Telekinesis like usual.

The workload of the second year was indeed not something the first year could compare with.

Just the physical training alone went from the original 10 laps to 20 laps. Fortunately, Beast Tamers were not required to run the distance together with their Pet Beasts.

Otherwise, she would have been completely drained.

Moreover, based on the different endurance levels of the Pet Beasts, they were each given individual gravity room chambers where they could adjust the gravity settings, which was quite considerate.

All things considered, the training was much more effective than in the first year.

Qiao Sang’s thoughts returned to the present, and looking around her room, she suddenly felt something was missing.

She paused for a moment, then suddenly sat up from where she had been leaning against the bedhead and formed a hand seal.

“Xun.”

“Xiao Xunbao.”

The grey Star Array lit up, and the Treasure-seeking Ghost appeared within it, wailing plaintively twice.

Qiao Sang gave an awkward laugh before changing the subject, “You must be hungry, right? Hurry and get some milk to drink.”

Xiao Xunbao paused, feeling its hunger.

It seems hungry indeed…

After taking off its hoop to drink a couple of sips of milk, its eyes curved into crescents, forgetting to continue its complaints.

Qiao Sang breathed a sigh of relief and leaned back against the bedhead, taking out her phone to check it.

The vice-principal hadn’t contacted her yet, but everyone in the first-year team group chat was mentioning her.

Qiao Sang opened the chat.

Messages were still being refreshed.

[Fang Qi: This Pet Beast in the news looks like Qiao Sang’s, could it be the same one?]

[Jiang Nai: It’s the same type of Pet Beast, but probably not the same one.]

[Fang Qi: I think it’s the same one, the timing of the news report and the evolution of Qiao Sang’s Fire-Toothed Dog are so close together.]

[Peng Xiaoyuan: But the news says it’s the first new form of the Fire-Toothed Dog ever seen. If that’s true, doesn’t that mean Qiao Sang is the first person to evolve a Fire-Toothed Dog into a new form?]

[Lu Liangye: If others can now contract with two Pet Beasts, and she can evolve the Fire-Toothed Dog, what’s so impossible about that?]

[Jiang Nai: But during that time, wasn’t she with us at school?]

“`

[Fang Qi: Did you forget that she was suddenly taken away by Professor Xian?]

[Cheng Xiaoyun: Hurry and tag her to ask.]

[Fang Qi: I’ve been tagging her for ages, probably didn’t check her phone.]

[Wang Jihang: The boss is now training with the sophomore team, not as idle as us.]

[Jiang Nai: Yo, why do I detect a hint of jealousy in your tone?]

[Cheng Xiaoyun: Then tag her again.]

[Qiao Sang: No need to tag, they’re probably talking about my Fire-Toothed Dog.]

“`

She had just scrolled up and read the news they were talking about.

It was today’s news.

It was about the new form of the Fire-Toothed Dog.

The photo used was from that time at the Jin Entertainment Building, taken from the perspective of the office doorway, probably shot by the employees who were watching the excitement.

However, the news specifically emphasized that the message had been verified by a senior researcher, indicating the reliability of the news, suggesting that it wasn’t just Song Yuan’s doing.

The Vice Principal would presumably be that certain senior researcher.

Such news would surely draw public attention. Connecting this with the joint Vice Principal’s mention of waiting for the research personnel to gather, it wasn’t hard to guess it was meant to attract attention from higher-ups, to get the project approved sooner.

Otherwise, the employees would have leaked the news earlier, not waiting days for this report to emerge.

The freshman team group chat went crazy with Qiao Sang’s remark; they were all swearing and couldn’t say anything else.

Qiao Sang turned off her phone and didn’t continue chatting with them, because at that moment, Professor Xian appeared out of nowhere in front of her.

That was too quick, it wasn’t even 6 p.m. yet…

The Sky Manifest Bat’s claws twitched slightly.

“Wait!” Qiao Sang shouted to stop it.

“Xian?”

The Sky Manifest Bat tilted its head in confusion.

Xiao Xunbao, the Treasure-seeking Ghost, spun its eyes and pulled out a bottle of milk from the ring to hand over.

“Xun~”

“Xun Xun~”

The Sky Manifest Bat paused at the sight of the milk, then took it.

Qiao Sang gave Xiao Xunbao a look of approval.

“Professor Xian, Yaobao just finished training and is all sweaty, hasn’t taken a shower yet. Can we go after he’s cleaned up?” Qiao Sang asked.

Since the visitors were here specifically to see Yaobao, it was best to have it looking spirited.

“Xian.” The Sky Manifest Bat, holding the milk and seemingly more agreeable, nodded.

Yaobao’s closed eyes trembled upon hearing the conversation.

A bath?

A bath?!

It decided to play dead…

Qiao Sang immediately realized Yaobao was pretending to be asleep.

Every time it needed a bath, it was always like this; either playing dead, pretending to be busy, or acting as if it didn’t understand.

Qiao Sang thought for two seconds and then came up with a solution.

“Don’t you want to look at yourself in the mirror? You should have a bath and groom to look sharp before seeing your new look for the first time.”

Yaobao perked up its ears, and the next second, it opened its eyes and got up, heading to the bathroom.

“Ya.”

“Ya Ya.”

It made sure to turn back and urge its Beast Tamer to follow.

Qiao Sang: “…”

…

At the Yuehe Hotel.

In the Jiqing Pavilion private room.

When Qiao Sang was teleported here, she found that only the Vice Principal was sitting at the table.

“The others had a bit of trouble on the road and should be late. Don’t worry about them; sit down and have something to eat first,” Liu Yao said calmly to the teleported Qiao Sang.

Clearly, for him, the sudden appearance of a person before him, no matter what time, was a common occurrence.

After Qiao Sang sat down, Liu Yao smiled and asked, “How did you find today’s training with the sophomore team? Got any questions?”

Qiao Sang paused for a moment. Questions?

Indeed, she had one.

“I heard that the sophomore team members have all contracted two Pet Beasts, but how come I saw them training with only one today?” Qiao Sang asked.
