Chapter 315: Chapter 302: Pet Beast Training Base

"What time does the competition start tomorrow?" asked Mother’s voice from the other end of the phone.

Ye Xiangting leaned against the headboard, a smile on her face.

This child has finally remembered to call home...

"Tomorrow at nine twenty in the morning, but we need to assemble at the school by seven thirty," Qiao Sang replied.

The time and place of the competition had been confirmed after today’s pet beast health check, and the coach had issued the notice.

The individual and team battles for grades ten to twelve were held at the same location.

Although the coordination team was going to compete at the same school, their competition was at a different location.

"Assemble at seven thirty?" Ye Xiangting checked the time on her phone, then put it back to her ear and said, "You should hurry up and sleep then, it’s almost eleven o’clock."

Qiao Sang chuckled and said, "I’m staying up to talk to you.’

Ye Xiangting wanted to laugh, but held back. Putting on a strict motherly tone, she said, "Go to sleep quickly, or you might not wake up on time and be late."

"I know," said Qiao Sang and was about to hang up the phone.

"Wait!" Just as she was about to hang up, Ye Xiangting suddenly called out.

"What is it?" Qiao Sang, hearing the voice from the speaker, put the phone back to her ear and asked.

"Where is the competition being held? Can parents go in to watch?" Ye Xiangting asked.

"It’s at the Pet Beast Training Base in Xi Huai District," Qiao Sang thought for a moment and said, "I’m not sure about parents, but if you want to come watch, I’ll ask the teacher."

"I was just asking. The shop has only just opened, and I don’t have the time to go watch right now," Ye Xiangting paused, then continued, "But try to last longer in the competition, don’t get eliminated too soon, I might be able to make it over one of these days."

"Okay," Qiao Sang laughed, "I’ll try to hold on until the day you can come to watch me."

After hanging up, Ye Xiangting looked pleased.

She picked up her phone, subconsciously opened her contacts to call a bunch of people she knew, but then she suddenly remembered the time and that some people would probably be asleep.

Ye Xiangting thought for a while, then opened the family group chat and tagged everyone.

[Was about to sleep, but got woken up by a call from my daughter. Anyone still awake?]

The sister-in-law was the first to pop up:

[Xiang Ting, isn’t your Qiao Sang at school? How come they still let her have a cellphone?]

Caught someone who’s not asleep!

Ye Xiangting’s eyes lit up. Without a second thought, she opened the sister-in-law’s chat window and placed a voice call.

"Sister-in-law, you haven’t slept yet? No worries, I just can’t sleep and felt like chatting. My Qiao Sang has a competition tomorrow... Not sure if you’ve heard about it, the National School Beast Taming Competition."

On the other side, as a member of the family group, Qiao Sang watched her mother tag everyone, the aunt bubble up, and then both the mother and aunt disappear from the chat record, speechless for a long moment.

Moment of silence for the aunt...

...

October 27th, sunny.

Because the assembly time was so early, Yaobao normally couldn’t wake up at this hour. To ensure Yaobao was in good spirits, Qiao Sang, after washing up and dressing in the school uniform, walked to the school gate by herself.

At this moment, outside Shengshui Middle School’s gate, there were two buses parked.

One was for the battling teams, and the other was for the coordination team.

Below the buses, the school team members were chatting in groups with some middle-aged people.

Apart from the two buses, there were also several private cars and some high-level pet beasts that weren’t usually seen around the school.

These private cars and high-level pet beasts belonged to the team members’ parents.

Qiao Sang came alone to the bus for the battling teams. Just as she was about to get on, she heard a very familiar voice calling her.

Turning her head, Qiao Sang saw her mother’s smiling face looking at her, with a chubby domestic pigeon flapping its wings by her side.

"Mom, what brings you here?" Qiao Sang asked, surprised.

"I woke up early and couldn’t go back to sleep, and since I didn’t have anything else to do, I decided to come and see you off," Ye Xiangting said with a smile.

If you wanted to come and see me off, just say so, why add a prefix about having nothing better to do... A wave of warmth passed through Qiao Sang’s heart, and she deliberately asked, "Isn’t the shop just opened? Aren’t you busy at this time, shouldn’t there be a lot to do?"

"The shop doesn’t open until nine, and it’s only a little after seven now. I have plenty of time to get back after dropping you off. If I didn’t, I wouldn’t have come," Ye Xiangting replied.

Qiao Sang: "..."

"By the way, you haven’t eaten yet, have you?" Ye Xiangting asked.

How could I? Even though it’s early, I wouldn’t let myself go hungry... Just after finishing a piece of bread on the road, Qiao Sang noticed the bag in her mother’s hand, paused, and shook her head, "No, I haven’t."

"That’s perfect." Ye Xiangting handed the bag to Qiao Sang, speaking softly, "I made some of your favorite things this morning. You can eat them in the car later."

"Mhm," Qiao Sang took the bag and replied.

...

Xi Huai District.

Pet Beast Training Base.

The Pet Beast Training Base is a comprehensive facility that includes accommodation, dining, training, competitions, and vacation.

Nearly 70% of the teams that need to participate in competitions have stayed at the Pet Beast Training Base.

Unlike the Beast Taming Center, the Pet Beast Training Base caters specifically to teenagers who are still in school and requires government authorization to enter.

As soon as Qiao Sang stepped out of the car, she saw the parking lot was already filled with buses bearing the names of various schools, about forty or so in total.

One bus represents one school.

That is to say, today’s preliminary competition here has around forty or more schools participating.

Suddenly, Xu Yixuan who had just gotten off the bus tugged at Qiao Sang’s clothes.

"What’s up?" Qiao Sang asked.

"Look, those are people from Yicheng Beast Taming High School," Xu Yixuan said, pointing to a group of people wearing blue and white school uniforms.

Yicheng High School... Qiao Sang followed the direction she pointed.

After yesterday’s pet beast physical examination, the coach not only announced the time and location of the competition but also released the list of groups assigned to Shengshui Middle School into the group chat.

Group A2 was the group that Shengshui Middle School was assigned to.

Among them, Yicheng Beast Taming High School was the school with the biggest name in Group A2 besides Shengshui Middle School.

Although Yicheng Beast Taming High School is only a key county-level high school, its college admission rate is not at all inferior to some of the key high schools in the city.

In the last National Campus Beast Taming League, a sophomore made it to the top 24 in the province.

The last sophomore group, which is this year’s senior group... Qiao Sang glanced at them and, uninterested, looked away.

What she had to do now was to beat Fuxi Beast Taming High School.

As for the other schools, she would deal with them when the time came.

There are a total of 22 training areas in the Xi Huai Pet Beast Training Base.

Students from freshmen to seniors all went off to their respective competition venues.

Area C, the venue for the senior level of Group A2.

At this moment, the stands around Area C are gradually filling up with leaders and coaches from various schools, as well as some media reporters.

"Principal, what are you doing here?!" Sun Boyi exclaimed in surprise.

Wang Weidou smiled and said, "The National Campus Beast Taming League happens only once a year, how could I not come and watch? By the way, where’s Qiao Sang?"
