Beast taming, starting from zero point
Chapter 547 - 499: Weir Serum

Chapter 547: Chapter 499: Weir Serum

Life aboard the starship proved rather tranquil, even if it didn’t quite match Qiao Sang’s imagination of gazing upon the vastness of stars and oceans daily, but fortunately, they had encountered no black holes or mysterious creatures capable of roaming freely through space as seen in movies.

Yaobao spent his days training in telekinesis and engaging in meditation.

Xiao Xunbao also trained in telekinesis, and practiced the Ill-Fortune Curse on ants brought from Blue Star.

As for Lubao, she trained in Healing Light and Healing Sound Wave.

And the subject of the training was Qiao Sang himself.

With 24 hours of ceaseless study every day, Qiao Sang progressed from requiring Healing Light every 12 hours to every 6 hours, and then to every 3 hours.

In the end, only by simultaneously using Healing Sound Wave could he persevere.

Gazing out at the abyss-like space beyond the cabin and combining it with 24 hours of non-stop study, Qiao Sang felt his brain swell increasingly, with the occasional headache.

Fortunately, Lubao was always by his side, and the moment Qiao Sang felt discomfort, without needing to utter a word, Lubao would sense it and cast a Healing Light his way.

Perhaps sensing the condition of his Beast Tamer, Lubao decided not to sleep at night, utilizing Healing Light on himself, just so he could be ready to treat Qiao Sang at any time.

Touched by this, Qiao Sang would embrace Lubao, hugging and kissing him.

Although Lubao seemed to disdain the affection on the surface, his wagging tail betrayed his good mood.

Outside the cabin, darkness enveloped everything, and without checking the time, one could never gauge the duration that had passed.

Qiao Sang sat at his desk, constantly reading and tackling practice questions.

"Dr. Zhou Tai once proposed that once a Pet Beast reached General-level, the feedback received by the Beast Tamer undergoes a qualitative change. A Beast Tamer who possesses a General-level Pet Beast, as long as the connection with the pet is close and stable, could have an average lifespan reaching 200 years."

"This closeness refers to starting a Contract and nurturing from when the Pet Beast is at a low tier."

"However, this theory was quickly refuted by researcher Xue Dongshi. Through her investigation and study, she found that Beast Tamers who only have one General-level Pet Beast actually do not have a lifespan of 200 years."

"She believes that apart from the tier of the Pet Beast itself, the lifespan of a Beast Tamer also has much to do with the extent of brain domain development."

"Under the research of Xue Dongshi, later generations started categorizing Beast Tamers from F-rank to SSS-rank based on the level of brain domain development and the tier of their Pet Beasts."

"Do you think her theory is correct? Why?"

Qiao Sang reflected for a moment, then began to write.

"It is incorrect. A Beast Tamer’s rank is determined by the Beast Taming Alliance through strict statistical surveys that take into account the conditions of all Beast Tamers from ancient times to the present, not solely based on Xue Dongshi’s research..."

As Qiao Sang continued answering the questions, Yang Jiayi quietly pushed the door open and exited.

...

In the dining area.

"Qiao Sang is still studying?!" Tang Yi said, incredulous.

Yang Jiayi nodded, expressing sincerely, "It’s terrifying, I’ve never seen someone so dedicated to their studies."

Tang Yi blurted out, "Studying non-stop for 32 days without sleep, do you call that human?!"

Yang Jiayi glanced at him, speaking pensively, "You’re right, that can hardly be called human..."

Tang Yi asked, "Why do you think she studies so desperately? She already won the national championship in the Campus Beast Taming League; any top institution would take her in through special recruitment without a question; as long as she gets above 350 points in the college entrance exam, what top institution can’t she attend?"

Yang Jiayi shook his head:

"I don’t know."

For students like them, with a particular talent, they entered high school striving for special recruitment, seldom touching books, possibly finishing a term with the books still brand new, and simply could not understand why Qiao Sang, standing at the pinnacle of special recruits, would work so hard.

Tang Yi changed the subject:

"I heard that Sainan High School, where we’re heading, is one of the best high schools on Chao Su Star. Inside, the rules and hierarchy are quite strict, a bit like our Imperial Capital Zhongkong Beast Taming High School in the Zhongkong Region, where resources are obtained through Points. Do you think we can smoothly get the Weir Serum?"

The brain domain cannot be forcefully developed, a fact known by everyone.

Yet, there always exist some invaluable resources with functions beyond the ordinary imagination.

Weir Serum is such a resource; it can enhance a Beast Tamer’s brain domain without any side effects, though it can only be taken once in a lifetime, with the best effects before the age of 18.

As for how much it can enhance, it depends on the individual Beast Tamer’s brain domain capacity.

One of the qualifications for assessment at top academic institutions is the certification of a D-rank Beast Tamer, and such candidates are almost nonexistent in the national high school Beast Taming Alliance competitions for senior year students, but before special admissions, a group of students who have passed the D-rank Beast Tamer assessment always seems to emerge.

Aside from not having to compete during that period, with students spending most of their time on meditation, another reason is that some of them have gotten their hands on Weir Serum.

Such resources are strictly controlled by the government, not mentioned in textbooks, not circulated online, and absolutely unimaginable for ordinary Beast Tamers to know of.

The fact that a batch of Weir Serum becomes available before the special admission assessments at various top-tier academies each year is also at the behest of the government.

This is no secret among the deeply rooted families of major regions.

Yang Jiayi said,

"I don’t know about others, but as long as the Intergalactic Exchange Student reports to the school, they can get Weir Serum, you can be assured of that."

Hearing this, Tang Yi was relieved.

He knew that Minister Wang of the Chong Island region was related to Yang Jiayi. If she said so, then the information must be correct.

...

Meanwhile, inside the cabin.

Qiao Sang gazed at another question on the test paper and pondered for a long time, just about to write.

"Sasa!"

Suddenly, the sound of Sasa, the Sassy Cat, calling out interrupted her.

Qiao Sang turned her head and saw Sasa standing next to Yaobao, who was in the middle of meditating, with its leaves standing straight up, looking like it was picking a fight.

Here we go again... Qiao Sang thought wearily.

Sasa, Yang Jiayi’s Pet Beast, was always at odds with Yaobao for some reason. If she hadn’t told Yaobao not to fight on the starship, they would probably have already been brawling.

"Lubao~Lubao~Lubao~Lubao~Lubao~"

Just as Yaobao was about to open her eyes, Lubao had already started using the Healing Sound Wave.

An invisible sound wave spread out.

"Sasa..."

The leaves atop Sasa’s head immediately bent down.

Yaobao opened her eyes, blinked, and then closed them again.

Qiao Sang gave Lubao a thumbs up to show her approval, "Well done."

"Bingke."

The corners of Lubao’s mouth lifted slightly.

At that moment, the voice from the broadcast spoke:

"Dear passengers, please be advised that in ten minutes, we will be arriving at our destination, Chao Su Star’s 13th District Heto Starport. For your safety, please remain in your cabins and refrain from walking around during this time."

Qiao Sang: "!!!"

We’ve arrived?! Qiao Sang’s spirits lifted, and she quickly rose to walk towards the transparent cabin wall.

She looked out.

In the pitch-black space, a particularly large blue-violet planet appeared before their eyes.
