Beast taming, starting from zero point
Chapter 800 - 701: Gangzhan Giant Falcon

Chapter 800: Chapter 701: Gangzhan Giant Falcon

Yuliandun University’s official website features a dedicated page for the top 100 rankings, which displays the professional field and name of the listed individuals, as well as their specific achievements.

New students might not be fully aware, but the returning students knew on the day the top 100 rankings were updated that a new student named Qiao Sang had replaced Aier Annano who was ranked 100th.

So, the moment they heard this name, everyone looked over.

Looking at the black-haired girl with a youthful face, holding a red Pet Beast in her arms, from afar, people showed curiosity, scrutiny, and some were not convinced.

Historically, the top rankers in the Beast Taming Department have almost always been seniors in their fourth or fifth year, each of their strengths recognized by all, and there had never been an instance of someone entering the top 100 rankings without even challenging anyone.

But now, such an instance had occurred, and it was a first-year student.

The black young man, who was Aier Annano, rushed over immediately, scrutinized the girl in front of him, and lifted his chin:

"Are you the new student who replaced me in the top 100 rankings?"

Hey, hey, didn’t you just fight with the one ranked 99th... Qiao Sang commented internally, but kept a normal expression on her face:

"Yes, that’s me."

Aier got straight to the point: "I want to challenge you."

Qiao Sang asked, "Have you applied for it?"

Aier paused for a moment, then explained:

"I have applied, but the responsible teacher said you haven’t officially moved in yet, so it wasn’t approved."

"Then we’ll talk after your application is successful." After saying this, Qiao Sang, holding Yaobao, left without looking back.

She quickened her pace, fearing she’d be surrounded by a group of fourth- and fifth-year students inviting her to battle if she was too slow.

Although she had come to terms with the situation, understanding that accepting battles would increase her Points together, definitely not right after Yaobao and the others had exhausted their energy in group fights that morning.

She was accustomed to fighting battles with confidence, and even when facing seniors, she didn’t want to lose because her Pet Beasts weren’t in good condition.

Aier watched Qiao Sang walk away and did not follow her.

The opponent was right, the challenge had to be officially approved, or else the result would only be considered a practice match, simply a waste of time.

Looking at her appearance, she seemed much younger than the average first-year student; could she have skipped several grades and enrolled earlier... Aier looked perplexed.

A blonde senior by his side waived her hand:

"It wasn’t easy to catch her for you, and yet you haven’t even got your application approved."

Her tone was familiar, indicating that she knew him well.

Aier glanced at her:

"Thanks for this time."

"Don’t thank me." The blonde senior laughed: "I was quite curious to see for myself what kind of strength a freshman who made it to the top 100 at the start of the school term has."

At this moment, Sun Qiyi shouted from behind:

"What’s the matter, not clamoring to battle with me anymore?"

Aier turned around and sneered, "Wait until I get back the dormitory that originally belonged to me, then I’ll come for you."

Sun Qiyi huffed and returned to his own dormitory.

Seeing that there was no further spectacle to witness, the onlookers dispersed.

A minute later, a post titled #Preliminary Confrontation between New and Old Top 100 in the Beast Taming Department# appeared on the forum of Yuliandun University.

...

After leaving the residential area, Qiao Sang noticed that no one had followed her and spoke to the air beside her:

"Xiao Xunbao, let’s go home."

"Xun Xun~"

Xiao Xunbao appeared, cried out, and its eyes emitted a blue light.

The next second, Qiao Sang and Yaobao vanished from the spot.

Once Qiao Sang’s vision returned to normal, she found herself back at the villa she rented.

She formed hand signs and immediately summoned Lubao and Gangbao.

"How’s it feeling at school?" Liu Yao, busy in the kitchen, looked at the girl who had appeared out of nowhere and kept working with a smile.

As Qiao Sang continued making hand signs, she replied, "Pretty good."

Gangbao’s next evolutionary stage was determined, Lubao had accumulated a considerable number of Points, and she had scored the top Points in the entire department.

"Yaobao!" Remembering how his Mars Rain had been countered that morning, Yaobao ran toward the outdoor training field.

"Xun Xun!"

Xiao Xunbao, spotting the two computers on the coffee table, got excited and floated over, forming a doppelganger.

When Qiao Sang turned around, she saw two identical Ghost Ring Kings typing away at the keyboards.

Now that she had gone to school, there wasn’t as much time to practice doppelgangers as before, but according to her schedule, in three days’ time, Xiao Xunbao’s doppelganger would reach the pinnacle of Mystique... Qiao Sang retracted her gaze and headed back to her room.

Lubao and Gangbao followed silently.

Qiao Sang reclined on the bed, her consciousness entering the Beast Taming Codex.

Pages flipped rapidly until she arrived at the page about Gangbao.

Different from what she had seen when she entered the Beast Taming Codex last night,

there were now four words "Gangzhan Giant Falcon" beside the species name [Steel Guard Sparrowhawk].

It seems the next stage for Steel Guard Sparrowhawk will be the Gangzhan Giant Falcon... Qiao Sang shifted her gaze to check the proficiency level of the Iron Wall skill, then her consciousness returned to reality.

The moment she opened her eyes, she saw Gangbao practicing Iron Wall and Lubao staring motionlessly at her.

"What’s the matter?" Qiao Sang asked Lubao.

"Bingke?"

Lubao called out, asking when to play the Water Aerial Dominance game today.

Qiao Sang thought for a moment and said, "How about 8 o’clock tonight?"

She had to eat dinner after returning from school, and she had arranged for the Body Tempering Worm to come over; she wouldn’t be free until at least 8 p.m.

"Bingke."

Lubao nodded, indicating that the time was fine, and then immediately jumped into the water tank.

Why does it feel like Lubao’s condition has reverted back to the anxious state of a while ago... Watching Lubao’s figure in the water tank, Qiao Sang pondered for a moment, then suddenly thought of a possibility:

Could it be that the temporary evolution of Gangbao today has stimulated her...

The more Qiao Sang thought about it, the more she felt it was likely.

When Gangbao was contracted, it was just a low-level Pet Beast, and by that time, Lubao was already a High Level Pet Beast. Now, the advanced form of Gangbao has appeared, but Lubao is still a High Level Pet Beast.

With Lubao’s competitive nature, it must be indeed hard to accept...

Qiao Sang sighed silently.

Right now, there was nothing she could do except to help Lubao become stronger sooner...

After thinking about Lubao’s situation, she unconsciously looked toward Gangbao.

To her surprise, Gangbao was practicing Iron Wall with a calm expression, seemingly unaffected by the temporary evolution from the morning.

Such stable emotions... Qiao Sang marveled inwardly and picked up her phone, intending to purchase tickets for the Jiu Jing Amusement Park for the evening.

Just then, her screen lit up and her phone vibrated again and again.

The official backend of Yuliandun University was suddenly flooded with dozens of messages.

Qiao Sang opened one subconsciously:

[Hadro Turing from Class 3, Fifth Year of the Beast Taming Department at Yuliandun University, has sent you a battle invitation...]

[Marguerite Crick from Class 1, Fourth Year of the Beast Taming Department, has sent you a battle invitation...]

[Aier Annano from Class 3, Fifth Year of the Beast Taming Department, has sent you a battle invitation...]

[...]

With all the messages being battle invitations, Qiao Sang’s mouth twitched, and she quickly clicked to accept each one.

...

One-thirty in the afternoon.

Xiao Xunbao used Spatial Movement to transport Qiao Sang directly to Yuliandun University.

On her way to the classroom, Qiao Sang inexplicably noticed many people staring at her.

However, she was accustomed to being the focus of attention, so she did not mind it much.

Qiao Sang walked into the amphitheater-style classroom, holding Yaobao in her arms.

After the morning’s events, she knew she might not be very welcomed, so she deliberately chose a seat far from other students.

Hardly had she sat down when a red-haired girl stood up from her seat, walked over quickly, sat next to her, and leaned in with a gossip-hungry look, asking:

"Did you bump into that guy who was at the bottom of the top hundred list before?"

The news sure spread fast... Qiao Sang glanced at the girl.

The red-haired girl, catching Qiao Sang’s look, felt an aura characteristic of a high-ranking individual and quickly added:

"I didn’t attack you in this morning’s assessment, my Pet Beast was frozen right at the start by your Bingke Xilu’s Ice Flower Seal!"

I didn’t even say anything... Qiao Sang paused for a moment, then answered her question:

"I ran into him this morning on my way to the dorm after class."

The red-haired girl’s eyes lit up: "How come you guys didn’t fight?"

Qiao Sang fell silent for a moment: "His application hadn’t gone through at that time."

After finishing her answer, she suddenly thought of something and asked, "How do you know so much about it?"

The red-haired girl placed her phone screen-up on the desk in front of Qiao Sang and pushed it forward:

"Someone posted it on the forum."

Qiao Sang, with sharp eyes, spotted the titles of several threads at a glance.

#Preliminary Confrontation of New and Veteran Top Hundred in the Beast Taming Department#

#Beast Taming Department Newcomer Emerges as a Powerhouse, Fighting Alone Against Many, Reaching First in Points#

#Dean Gilbert of the Beast Taming Department Shows a Glimpse of His Skill#

#First-Year Top Newcomer in the Coordination Department Has an Insect Series as Their Ace Pet Beast#

#This Afternoon, Dr. Dosharila to Lecture on Emotional Energy of Pet Beasts#

Qiao Sang’s gaze settled on the last post.
