Chapter 783: Chapter 690: What a Miserable Person

The following day.

It was the opening day of Yuliandun University.

Pet Beasts of various sizes, large enough to carry several or even dozens of people, appeared in the sky or on the ground.

During that time, Flight Type Pet Beasts continuously swooped down, stopping by the roadside.

"Ya Ya!"

In the sky, Yaobao looked around excitedly, left and right.

This one’s really strong!

That one looks like it could put up a good fight!

Qiao Sang sat on Yaobao. Although she couldn’t see its facial expression, she knew what was on its mind just by seeing its head continuously turning about.

"There will be plenty of opportunities to compete with powerful opponents in the future, so stop looking around. Let’s hurry to the orientation area; we don’t want to be late," Qiao Sang said, patting Yaobao.

"Ya!"

Yaobao called out, indicating understanding, and immediately its wings forcefully opened, speeding up.

A week’s reconnaissance had already allowed Qiao Sang to roughly get the lay of Yuliandun University.

She didn’t take much time to arrive at her destination.

At the orientation site, there was a visual arts building eight stories high.

The floors inside the building were staggered from each other, forming many outdoor terraces.

Yaobao landed on the ground, and after Qiao Sang dismounted, its size gradually shrank.

Qiao Sang went to the huge hall on the second floor.

Inside, nearly two-thirds of the new students were already seated.

At the front of the hall, there were nine chairs set up high, where nine individuals of differing skin and hair colors who appeared quite old were sitting.

Qiao Sang, following the signs, made her way to the Beast Taming Department’s area.

She sat down casually with Yaobao in her arms.

People around her glanced at Yaobao but quickly looked away.

Qiao Sang’s gaze swept across the hall, noting that although there were not many people holding Pet Beasts like herself, there were not none either.

At that moment, a girl sitting nearby who looked about 18, with blonde hair and blue eyes, leaned in to greet her:

"Hello, my name is Lailarly."

Qiao Sang glanced at her, "My name is Qiao Sang."

"Where do you come from?" Lailarly asked.

It seemed that everyone had assumed people holding Pet Beasts were not from Chao Su Star... Qiao Sang complained inwardly, but smiled and answered:

"Blue Star."

"Blue Star, huh..." Lailarly looked thoughtful. "I’ve always wanted to visit Blue Star and see the Secret Realm, but never had the chance."

"You’ll have it someday," Qiao Sang replied.

After chatting for a bit, Lailarly suddenly thought of something and asked:

"Which district’s dormitory are you staying in?"

"I’m not quite sure," Qiao Sang explained. "I’ve applied to stay off campus and haven’t been to the dormitory yet."

Lailarly looked surprised, "You got approval to live off campus so quickly?"

Just as Qiao Sang was about to explain that she was an exchange student, Lailarly continued:

"I heard that we have an extraordinary new student in our year, a freshman who’s been assigned to the special district."

Qiao Sang asked curiously:

"The special district?"

Before Lailarly could respond, a brown-haired boy with a few freckles on his face sitting nearby leaned in and said:

"You’re not aware because you’re not staying on campus, but Yuliandun University’s accommodation is divided into three areas: the Primary District, the Advanced District, and the Special District."

"Like us freshmen just arriving, we mostly live in the Primary District; the upperclassmen stay in the Advanced District."

After he had finished speaking, he looked at Qiao Sang and deliberately left a pause.

"And the top-tier district?" Qiao Sang asked in cooperation.

Before the boy could speak, Lailarly said indifferently, "The top-tier district is where the top hundred of each department can live. Like in our Beast Taming Department, the top hundred are all solidly established through actual combat. It’s said to be unprecedented for someone to be assigned to the top-tier district as a freshman right upon entering."

"Then your information is wrong," the brown-haired boy raised his voice slightly, countering:

"Yuliandun University has seen five instances where freshmen were assigned to the top-tier district right when they started school. Those were all geniuses among geniuses, and their names can now be found in the Beast Taming Alliance. You know Zakadun, right? He was..."

Lailarly interrupted:

"What I said was that it’s unprecedented in the Beast Taming Department."

The brown-haired boy immediately fell silent.

"So, who is this freshman who was assigned to the top-tier district?" Qiao Sang asked with interest.

"Not clear," Lailarly shook her head.

The brown-haired boy gossiped with a face full of curiosity: "It’s said that the senior in the fifth year who originally ranked hundredth went to the dormitory in the top-tier district yesterday to find that freshman, wanting to initiate a battle to take back his room. But, it turned out that the freshman wasn’t even there."

Battle? Qiao Sang perked up and asked, "So, if you win, you can get the dormitory back?"

"Of course," the brown-haired boy waved his hand, "We are the Beast Taming Department after all, we compete in combat power. The top hundred are the most powerful in combat, aren’t they? Just defeat one of them, and you can live in the top-tier district."

Hearing this, Qiao Sang thought for a moment and asked:

"Doesn’t that mean many people would want to battle this new student?"

Lailarly’s face glowed with fighting spirit: "It’s because this person moved into the top-tier district as soon as they arrived. We’re all first-year students, so why can’t we? Everyone is about the same age; I don’t believe this person can be that much better than me. Sooner or later, I’ll also challenge this person!"

The brown-haired boy glanced at her, reminding:

"Then you better go and register first. Everyone who wants to challenge the top hundred list must register. Only the results of battles conducted under a teacher’s certification are valid."

What a rough start for someone, to be targeted by the entire Beast Taming Department right upon entering university... Qiao Sang sympathized for a brief two seconds before asking, "Where do I register? I want to go too."

She wasn’t interested in living in the top-tier district, but according to them, this new student who moved into the top-tier district should be the most powerful among the first-year students.

So powerful that even without having fought any of the top hundred from the Beast Taming Department, the school had allowed this person to move into the top-tier district.

She was quite eager to see how she measured up against such a person.

"I’m not sure about that," the brown-haired boy said, "But you can ask the counselor when the time comes."

...

Meanwhile,

Several teachers from the Beast Taming Department area looked towards Qiao Sang’s location and discussed in low voices:

"Is she Qiao Sang?"

"Yes, she looks just like her picture in the profile."

"I admit reaching this level at 16 is genius, but isn’t it a bit too much to let her directly into the top-tier district? Isn’t every student living there someone who has fought their way step by step?"

At this, a middle-aged man in his forties with a stern face simply said:

"It was a request from the Imperial Beastmaster Academy."

The surroundings became quiet instantly, followed by a teacher’s dissatisfied voice:

"Just because they made the request, do we have to agree?"

The middle-aged man said in a deep voice, "Don’t forget, we also have exchange students at the Imperial Beastmaster Academy."

Seeing the atmosphere was still a bit delicate, a chubby-faced female teacher quickly smoothed things over:

"Actually, moving directly into the top-tier district as soon as she arrived may not necessarily be a good thing. Most likely, all the students from the Beast Taming Department will see her as a competitor, and her semester might not be so easy."

The middle-aged man calmly responded, "That’s also a trial for her."

The teacher who was originally dissatisfied laughed, "So we are using our entire Beast Taming Department’s students to test her?"

The female teacher did not try to smooth things over any further.

She knew that this teacher named Brennan had a particularly favored student he’d wanted to keep for graduate studies, but that student turned around and chose the Imperial Beastmaster Academy instead, leaving behind the words "I just chose what’s better."

Since then, Brennan had been provoked, always seeing the Imperial Beastmaster Academy as a rival.

While competition between the two top-tier institutions certainly existed, their outward diplomacy was still very skilled, except for this Brennan—who couldn’t even be bothered with the pretense.
