Beast taming, starting from zero point
Chapter 360 - 345: Another Person Won the Prize

Chapter 360: Chapter 345: Another Person Won the Prize

Xu Yixuan and He Daotao were completely dumbfounded, and for a moment, they hadn’t snapped back to reality.

And when they did return to their senses, the first thought that emerged in their minds was surprisingly the same, which was, how on earth did Qiao Sang manage to make such a serious joke?

To be honest, although they were few and far between, it wasn’t that no one in high school had managed to cultivate their pet beast into a high level one.

However, that was something that happened in the third year of high school, and it was almost always in the latter half of the third year when it might occur.

To qualify for the special test set up by the top institutions, one had to either win first place in the provincial competition held by the government during the three years of high school.

The other was to pass the assessment of a D-rank Beast Tamer.

One of the most important criteria for registering for the D-rank Beast Tamer assessment was to own a high level pet beast.

That is to say, even if you won first place in the National School Beast Taming Competition, without a high level pet beast, you couldn’t pass the D-rank Beast Tamer assessment, and you still wouldn’t qualify for the test for the top institutions.

The importance of a high level pet beast goes without saying.

This is also why, during the period of the national school competitions, anyone whose pet beast evolved into a higher-tier would hardly keep it a secret but would instead publicize it to increase the school’s reputation.

Nobody would think it’s boastful.

Among all the competitors in their third year with 99% owning mid-level pet beasts, having a high level pet beast means that you’re already stepping into the district competition, setting aside what might happen in the future.

Such a competitor would have no need to put on an act at the last moment in the provincial competition.

So what if it’s publicized? When your strength completely overwhelms, all investigations and analyses of weaknesses become meaningless.

Competitors with high level pet beasts, even if they have weaknesses, you won’t be able to target them.

Pet beast battles aren’t written exams; knowing the answers ahead of time won’t guarantee a perfect score.

This is the main reason why Xu Yixuan and He Daotao didn’t believe Ding Yanjing’s claim that his Guwei Flower had evolved into a Guwei Kui.

If it had evolved, Li Tang Beast Taming High School would have definitely publicized it, of this they had no doubt.

The fact that they hadn’t heard any whispers about Ding Yanjing was the reason for their disbelief.

But Qiao Sang was different.

A freshman in his first year, only a little over two months into high school. How could you say your Flame Listening Dog evolved into a high level pet beast in such a short time?

What a joke!

No one would believe it even if you advertised it!

Although Xu Yixuan was somewhat speechless, seeing as Qiao Sang had made a rare joke, she still thought she should tune in with him.

After all, who can’t take a joke?

Xu Yixuan patted Qiao Sang’s shoulder and flashed a smile, saying, "Impressive, when did this happen? Have you thought of a good name yet?"

Qiao Sang replied, "Just last night. It’s called the Liaoxing Dog."

You really just seriously answered... Xu Yixuan’s expression almost faltered.

"Do we need to tell Teacher Sun and the others?" He Daotao asked grinning on the side, apparently thinking along the same lines as Xu Yixuan.

Qiao Sang thought for a moment and said, "Let’s wait until today’s competition is over."

She hadn’t intended to keep it a secret, just wanted to keep a low profile, after all, the police station already knew about Yaobao’s evolution since yesterday.

But after listening to Xu Yixuan and the others, it made sense that the teachers would definitely need to be the first to know about the evolution of a pet beast.

She would also have to call the vice principal to arrange a new cultivation plan for Yaobao, and a new formula for the energy pills would have to be created.

He Daotao’s mouth twitched, realizing Qiao Sang wasn’t finished yet, and he said nothing more.

As Xu Yixuan and He Daotao shared their inner thoughts through glances, Qiao Sang spoke up:

"It’s good enough that you two know. There’s no need for publicity. I always feel that Ding Yanjing’s Guwei Flower might really have evolved into a Guwei Kui. Let’s keep a low profile as well."

Xu Yixuan: "..."

He Daotao: "..."

It’s not over, is it!

...

The competition proceeded in an orderly fashion.

Qiao Sang watched the battles quietly.

After facing three General-level Pet Beasts, although the opponents had given him an easy time, Qiao Sang’s horizons were significantly broadened. He felt that the battles he had just seen either featured too slow Pet Beasts or too weak skills; in short, they were just too weak.

Realizing what he was thinking, Qiao Sang hurriedly adjusted his attitude.

Thinking like this is not right! I still have Lubao, after all!

Considering Lubao’s strength, I should still be cautious!

As time slowly passed, when Qiao Sang entered the stage and summoned Lubao, the platform that the officials had barely managed to repair collapsed again.

"Lubao."

Lubao looked at its opponent with a cool expression, completely oblivious to the fact that its appearance had caused the platform to collapse.

Its opponent was a Water Fury Shrimp.

The Water Fury Shrimp, an evolved form of the Water Emit Shrimp, has a quick temper and is prone to pick fights.

Unlike most Fire Attribute Beasts which only fight when provoked, the Water Fury Shrimp likes to stir up trouble for no reason, the type that actively looks for quarrels.

As soon as it appeared, it provocatively flashed its two large pincers at Lubao.

Lubao watched it emotionlessly.

"Fury, fury!"

The Water Fury Shrimp flashed its large pincers again.

Lubao watched it emotionlessly.

"Fury, fury!"

The Water Fury Shrimp showed off its large pincers.

Lubao watched it emotionlessly.

"Fury, fury..."

The Water Fury Shrimp put down its large pincers with a stiff expression.

"Whistle!" The sound that signified the start of the match rang out.

The match ended within a minute, just as everyone had expected.

The clash of Water Guns left small puddles all over the ground. Lubao jumped to the ground to hide its tracks and then came out from behind the Water Fury Shrimp to win the match with a Tail of Water.

"Binglu Qia looks so pretty..."

"To be serious, if the competition field had been a Water Field, it might have been more interesting to watch. In water, the Water Fury Shrimp’s burst power is strong. On the ground, not to mention the burst power, its mobility is a lot slower. Although Binglu Qia is also a Water-type Pet Beast, it clearly has a natural advantage on land over the Water Fury Shrimp. It doesn’t seem to be worse off in speed compared to some Ground Type Pet Beasts; it must have undergone specific training."

"And there’s its Water Fusion attribute. If the Water-type skills released by the Water Fury Shrimp can’t hit Binglu Qia in one go, it will only create terrain that is more advantageous for it."

"You know, I actually really wanted to see Binglu Qia get injured and use Healing Light. You know about the blue light yesterday, right? I looked it up specially. You might not believe me when I say it, but that’s a Super Tier Skill!"

"You don’t need to tell me; the news spread all over yesterday."

"Does this skill mean that nearsighted people could just get shined on to be cured?"

"Tsk, not just nearsightedness, even if you were blind, it could make you see 5.3!"

People all around watched the pale blue Pet Beast on the stage and discussed it amongst themselves.

...

Qiao Sang won all the battles easily with Lubao.

Xu Yixuan and He Daotao also had an easy time.

Today’s competition didn’t put any pressure on them.

The three of them sat in the spectator seats waiting for the final match of the day to end.

Qiao Sang held Lubao and watched the battle, while Xu Yixuan and He Daotao glanced at the people entering the stage and then looked at their phones, evidently feeling that their opponent wouldn’t pose a threat to them.

Suddenly, Xu Yixuan clicked her tongue and spoke up, "Someone in Hongrao Town won the lottery again."
