Beast taming, starting from zero point
Chapter 381 - 364 Test

Chapter 381: Chapter 364 Test

"Liao Chaonan, champion of Beast Taming High School, with a Bashue Butterfly and a Venomtail Moth. If you encounter him and he sends out the Venomtail Moth, absolutely do not get close. The poison on its body is much stronger than that of an ordinary Venomtail Moth. Even if you hit it, you yourself are likely to fall directly into an abnormal state."

At this moment, the virtual screen switched to another boy’s photo and information.

Sun Boyi continued, "Huang Kaijun from Lianyu Beast Taming Middle School, with a Moon Rush Grass and an Eight-tubed Coral."

"This guy is quite interesting. He wasn’t much to talk about in the past two years, but this year he has changed his tactics. The commands he gives are different from the skills his Pet Beasts perform."

"For example, he commands ’Root,’ but the Pet Beast executes ’Parasitic Seed.’

"It’s not that the Pet Beast isn’t listening to him, but that he has made all these arrangements in advance to confuse the opponent’s senses, leading them to subconsciously make the wrong response upon hearing his command."

Hearing this, Xu Yixuan patted Qiao Sang’s arm, silently mouthing, "This guy’s a bit sneaky."

Qiao Sang nodded in agreement.

Imagine, if someday you were to face this person.

The opponent would shout, "Root!"

And you really think he’s going to use Root to recover, confidently prompting your Pet Beast to attack the base of the Moon Rush Grass in time.

But then the opponent doesn’t move at all, and what comes at you instead is a Parasitic Seed from above.

No matter how you think about it, it feels like you’ve been played.

"If you encounter him, try your best not to pay attention to what he says, look at what his Pet Beast does instead," Sun Boyi said as he pressed on the tablet, and the virtual screen switched to another person’s profile:

"Ruan Yunwen from Wuchai Middle School, with a Smooth Owl and a Twin-tailed Land Turtle. He Daotao, you should remember her."

Remembering his own past pitiable performance, He Daotao’s expression suddenly stiffened.

Qiao Sang looked at the girl’s photo on the virtual screen.

The girl in the photo had fair, translucent skin, a classic oval-shaped face; although her features were gentle, her indifferent gaze made her seem somewhat unapproachable.

Qiao Sang had some impression of this girl.

On the forum posts discussing the top tier students in the senior year, the replies about her were exceptionally numerous, mostly debating her relationship with the Smooth Owl.

The Smooth Owl, an evolved version of the Plump Pigeon, is a trump card presence in any high school stage competition when a High Level Pet Beast appears.

Any high school student with a High Level Pet Beast is almost guaranteed provincial champion, barring any accidents.

But Ruan Yunwen, who had bonded with the Smooth Owl, was precisely that accident.

Because at the beginning, the Smooth Owl wasn’t her Pet Beast; it belonged to her father and was entrusted to her by him before his death.

This led to a lack of tacit understanding between her and the Smooth Owl.

What’s more, during the knockout stage of the last National Campus Beast Taming Tournament, in one of the matches, the Smooth Owl outright threw the game by lying down to sleep as soon as it was summoned.

No matter how much Ruan Yunwen called, it ignored her, causing her to lose the match.

However, from this year’s matches, it’s clear that Ruan Yunwen’s relationship with the Smooth Owl has improved significantly, and there have been no more instances of insubordination.

Qiao Sang glanced at He Daotao, whose complexion was poor, and gossiped quietly, "What happened between them?"

"Nothing much," Xu Yixuan replied softly, "He was just trounced by Ruan Yunwen in the last National Campus Beast Taming Tournament, that’s all."

I thought there was some dramatic love or hatred... How boring... Qiao Sang mentally complained while maintaining a listening posture.

Sun Boyi continued to introduce the players of outstanding strength on the virtual screen.

...

Meanwhile, in universities throughout Zhehai Province, they were also discussing the difficult opponents they believed they would face in the knockout rounds.

The first photo shown on dozens of virtual screens was surprisingly consistent.

The girl in the photo had delicate features and a bit of baby fat. Her slightly upturned phoenix eyes appeared to be smiling but not really, exuding the aura of a future boss.

At a certain high school.

"Qiao Sang, 15 years old, with three Pet Beasts: a Flame Listening Dog, a Treasure-seeking Demon, and a Binglu Qia. Don’t feel too pressured when you encounter her. She’s a freak; the entire country doesn’t know how many years it took for one like her to emerge."

"But luckily, she’s still young. If we take specific preventative measures, there’s a chance to win."

"Although she only sent out Binglu Qia in the group matches, she definitely won’t do so in the knockout rounds."

"You should be familiar with her battles," said a man with a buzz cut and sparse eyebrows. With a sweeping gesture, he stepped aside, revealing a large box full of potions in front of the only student from their school who remained after the group matches. He spoke earnestly:

"So the school has specifically purchased Refreshing Potions for your upcoming training!"

The same scene occurred in other high schools.

Nearly all schools issued Refreshing Potions to students who had made it to the knockout rounds.

...

At Shengshui Middle School.

Qiao Sang, who had single-handedly driven up the sales of Refreshing Potions across the province, was listening attentively.

After Sun Boyi spent nearly forty minutes identifying the players with outstanding strength in the knockout rounds, he scanned the group:

"Have you all memorized it?"

"Memorized!" Qiao Sang and the other two responded.

Sun Boyi nodded slightly:

"Good, then you should pack up well tonight. We’ll meet at the school gate at 9 a.m. tomorrow to depart for Kainan City. The elimination round will be held at the Kainan Pet Beast Battle Field."

...

6:32 p.m.

Qingcheng Jiayuan.

Building C, Unit 606.

Qiao Sang was stuffing luggage into the ring of Xiao Xunbao in her room.

At that moment, she heard a "bang" from the security door, followed by her mother’s voice:

"I’m back!"

From the cheerful tone, Qiao Sang knew her mother was in a good mood today. She got up and walked out of the room to see her mother smiling, with a Gravity Monkey behind her carrying a large box and wearing a courier’s uniform.

"Just put it there," Qiao Sang’s mother pointed to a spot in the living room.

"Heavy."

The Gravity Monkey nodded and moved the large box into the living room.

"Thank you," Qiao Sang’s mother said with a smile.

"Heavy heavy," the Gravity Monkey grinned and said goodbye.

"What is this?" Qiao Sang walked over and squatted down by the box to take a look.

Ye Xiangting put her bag on the sofa and said, "Did you forget? Didn’t you ask me to buy an Energy Tester?"

Ahem, she really hadn’t remembered that at the moment... Qiao Sang said with a playful smile, "How could I forget? I just didn’t expect you to act so quickly, mom."

As she spoke, she began to open the package: "By the way, my competition is the day after tomorrow. I have to go to school for a gathering tomorrow morning and then head to Kainan City."

Ye Xiangting was taken aback for a moment: "Is your next competition so soon?"

"Not really." Qiao Sang opened the box and said, "After all, there’s been three days of rest time."

Ye Xiangting was silent for a couple of seconds, then she took out a Black Gold Card from her bag and put it on the coffee table, "I signed the contract for the shop today, and the money won’t be needed for now. Here’s your card back. You’ll definitely need some money when you get to Kainan City."

Qiao Sang looked at her mother: "But didn’t we not buy the house yet?"

"A house can’t be decided on so quickly." Ye Xiangting removed her coat and sat down on the sofa, "You might think Hangkang City has a lot of houses, but only that development I saw yesterday is suitable for Pet Beast training. It’s not easy finding others for sale."

"Keep the card. By the time I find the right place, you should be back from the competition. Then you can just swipe it."

"Okay," Qiao Sang felt her mother made sense.

Energy Testers were constructed in more or less the same way.

Qiao Sang had seen the teachers use one at school and quickly learned how to operate the one in front of her.

The one her mother had bought was clearly much more sophisticated than the school’s, capable of testing with just a probe attached to any part of a Pet Beast’s body.

Once everything was ready, Qiao Sang beckoned and said, "Lubao, come here."

Lubao, who had been lying by the window, slowly got up and walked over.

Just then, Jiubi, the chubby Domestic Pigeon, curiously picked up the probe with a wing and stuck it onto itself.

It had seen someone using it at the mall earlier that day and had been eager to try it out.

Soon, a row of numbers appeared on the screen of the Energy Tester:

41192.

Ye Xiangting stepped forward and smiled as she rubbed Jiubi’s head: "Not bad, an Energy Value so high. Once we move, we’ll plan your evolution."

"Jiubi!"

Jiubi immediately spread its wings with an excited expression.

A median Energy Value for an intermediate-level Pet Beast is 50000, so above 40000 is indeed considered high... Qiao Sang silently nodded to herself.

Lubao had now come nearby.

"Jiubi~"

Jiubi enthusiastically placed the probe on Lubao with its wing, then grinned, displaying a "been there, done that" expression, signaling that just sticking it on was enough.

"Lubao."

Lubao responded respectfully, as to a family elder, showing understanding.

The moment the probe touched Lubao, the numbers on the Energy Tester’s screen shifted:

92127.
