Beast taming, starting from zero point
Chapter 557 - 509: The Chasm

Chapter 557: Chapter 509: The Chasm

After school in the morning, Qiao Sang headed towards the infirmary.

"Teacher, I’m here for a brain domain check," Qiao Sang said as she pushed the door open and entered.

"Hold on a second." The young doctor was examining a pet beast, its head and back covered with a hard wooden shell, and a brown tip on its tail.

There was also a Southeast Asian-looking boy standing by.

Qiao Sang glanced at the sleeve of his uniform and saw a white gemstone.

A first-year student... Qiao Sang found a place to sit down.

The gemstone color embedded in the cuff of the school uniform at Sainan High School varies with each year level; first-years have white, second-years, green, and third-years, blue.

After examining for a while, the young doctor said, "It can be healed, but for a complete recovery, we’ll have to wait until tonight."

The boy frowned:

"I have to participate in the field practice this afternoon. How can I join if it’s not healed?"

"Fungus..."

The pet beast with the wooden shell on its head lowered its head as if it had done something wrong.

The young doctor explained, "Fungus Shuttlecock Grass can still participate in battles without any problem; it will just move a bit slower than usual, which shouldn’t affect the practice."

"Kur Chiang Li once said that before going into battle, if a pet beast is even a little uncomfortable, it can end up at a disadvantage," the boy said seriously as he looked at the young doctor. "If it can end up at a disadvantage, how could that possibly not affect the practice?"

Qiao Sang’s mouth twitched fiercely.

Are you seriously quoting a saying about war for a field practice lesson? You only have a low-level pet beast, don’t you have a clue about your own skill level? The teachers won’t let you encounter pet beasts that are too much for you to handle, so what if it moves a bit slower... The young doctor mentally ranted while maintaining an impressed expression on his face:

"You are correct. I didn’t consider it thoroughly." Saying this, he seemed troubled:

"However, Fungus Shuttlecock Grass has absorbed too much energy, all congested inside, unable to dissipate. I can only accelerate its internal energy absorption to speed up the dispersion of excess energy. This process needs time."

"It’s not impossible to fix the problem all at once, but since Fungus Shuttlecock Grass is a low-level pet beast, its physical strength won’t be able to handle it, and it will still need several hours to recover after that."

The boy was silent, seemingly in thought.

"Fungus..."

The Fungus Shuttlecock Grass’s head drooped even lower.

"Um..." Qiao Sang spoke up at this moment: "Perhaps I could heal the Fungus Shuttlecock Grass directly."

Both, the human and the beast, turned to look at her simultaneously.

The boy asked doubtfully, "Does your pet beast have a Skill specialized in healing this?"

He had actually recognized who Qiao Sang was the moment she walked in.

There was a post about her on the forum of Sainan High School yesterday.

The new intergalactic exchange student from Blue Star, Dragon Country, the B-rank Beast Tamer, and champion of the individual Beast Taming combat for seniors. Despite being his age, she was assigned to Class 6, senior year.

All these titles combined made her hard to forget.

If Qiao Sang were from Chao Su Star, plenty of people in their circle would have been fawning over her. Sadly, she’s from Blue Star and will eventually return. Since their lives have no intersection, there is no need to make an effort to be on good terms.

"Kind of," Qiao Sang nodded.

"What do you want in exchange?" the boy asked, adopting an attitude of fair trade.

If you’re going to ask like that, I won’t hold back... Qiao Sang smiled and said, "Just give me some Points."

The boy asked, "How many do you want?"

"Six Points," Qiao Sang said sincerely.

The boy decisively turned to the young doctor and said, "Just treat Fungus Shuttlecock Grass using the first treatment plan."

Thank you, exchange student... The young doctor looked at Qiao Sang with gratitude and then began the treatment.

Qiao Sang: "..."

After the boy took Fungus Shuttlecock Grass and left, Qiao Sang asked in bewilderment, "I said I could heal it directly for him; why didn’t he let me do it?"

The young doctor said with a complex expression, "Points are very important to students at Sainan High School. He wants the fungus kicking ball grass to fully recover before the outdoor practice class to earn more points. Asking him to give you 6 points is like asking him to give you 600,000 Alliance Currency."

Are points that hard to earn... Realizing this, Qiao Sang felt even more heartache thinking about the 6 points he was deducted.

"You’re a student with special talents, aren’t you?" the young doctor asked.

Qiao Sang hummed in affirmation.

"Most students who come as Intergalactic Exchange Students have special talents," the young doctor said with a smile. "If you have special talents, it’s easy to earn points. Just participate in contests that match your talents."

I don’t have time to participate in any contests... Qiao Sang curled his lips.

As the young doctor placed the brain domain detection helmet on Qiao Sang’s head, he said,

"If your brain domain has breakthroughs, your Pet Beast evolves, or you pass the Beast Tamer rank assessment, you can earn additional points."

Qiao Sang’s spirits lifted at these words, "How many can I earn?"

"That depends on your original profile," the young doctor replied, flipping the switch on the brain domain detection helmet. "You can earn points based on breakthroughs from what’s in your profile."

"But in terms of the brain domain, going from 8% to 9% won’t earn you points. Only big breakthroughs, like going from 9% to 10%, which allow an additional blank contract page in the Beast Taming Codex, can earn you points."

Qiao Sang’s heartbeat quickened as he asked again, "How many can I earn?"

"Earn..." The young doctor stared at the data appearing on the display screen, becoming completely dumbstruck, unable to continue his sentence.

How many, just say it... Qiao Sang grew impatient and called out, "Teacher?"

"Just wait a moment." The young doctor came back to his senses and, without hesitation, pulled out his phone and said, "The brain domain detection helmet is broken, I need to call someone to fix it."

Broken? Qiao Sang turned his head to look at the display screen.

[39%]

"What’s broken about it?" Qiao Sang asked.

The young doctor had dialed the maintenance department’s number and looked up just as Qiao Sang turned to look at the display screen.

He was bewildered for a moment, thinking, do I really need to explain what’s broken? Can’t you see the problem with this data?!

The young doctor composed himself and said, "The data display is incorrect."

Qiao Sang, with a spirit of learning, inquired,

"How can you tell it’s incorrect?"

The young doctor couldn’t hold back any longer, "39%, it’s showing 39%!"

Qiao Sang sincerely asked, "Is there a problem with 39%?"

Even Tang Yi’s brain domain could reach 6%, so adding another 10% for himself was completely feasible.

In her view, just like Tang Yi, she had only broken through one barrier.

Qiao Sang’s brain domain had always made smooth breakthroughs.

First, she achieved self-aware awakening, then after sleeping, the Beast Taming Codex gained an extra page. After freeing herself from a hypnotism Skill, the Codex gained yet another page, so she genuinely never thought brain domain breakthroughs were difficult.

Besides, for the next stage, a B-rank Beast Tamer needed a 50% brain domain, a chasm universally acknowledged by Beast Tamers, and she hadn’t even crossed the "small chasm" of 40%.

Do you even know what you’re asking... The young doctor’s mouth twitched, unable to respond to such an obviously ridiculous question for a while.

Sensing his expression, Qiao Sang suddenly understood.

When she had come for a test the previous day it was 29%, and now it displayed 39%; such a rapid increase no wonder others would think there was a problem with the brain domain detection equipment.

With this in mind, Qiao Sang formed hand seals.

The next second, an orange star formation lit up.

The young doctor stared at the scene unfolding before him, his mind going blank with a "buzz."

Orange, an orange star formation?!

"Hey, hey, why aren’t you talking?" The voice from the phone called out.
