Beast Taming Starts from Zero

Upon hearing this, Josan looked at Teacher Michaela with extreme sympathy.

Michaela: "..."

"Dragon King, you are not alone after all..." Michaela's lips twitched slightly. He composed himself, his complex expression vanishing, and said in a calm tone:
"It's all about luck. You've always been very lucky. Qingyun Nana shouldn't be like Yuan Jingling."

"Of course! Qingbao doesn't even have any basic skills. Even with the worst luck, the only skill she can awaken is a high-level one..." Qiao Sang said with concern.

"Nobody can say for sure."

She couldn't possibly reveal her true thoughts right after finding out how unlucky Teacher Michaela was; that would be like stabbing him in the heart.

Michaela, recalling her past experiences, found it quite reasonable. After a moment's thought, she said:
"To be on the safe side, it's best not to give this Demon Fruit to Qingyun Nainai yet."

Qiao Sang was taken aback: "Why?"

"First, find a pet that can increase luck to bless Qingyun Nainai. That way, the probability of her taking the Demon Fruit and advancing to a higher level skill will be higher," Michaela said.

Although Qingbao has many high-level skills, he also has a few mid-level skills. If he is a little unlucky, he might indeed awaken a high-level skill. Now that he has finally obtained the Demon Fruit, it would be best to awaken a super-level skill... Thinking of this, Qiao Sang said seriously, "Understood."

……

The next day, early morning.

After finishing breakfast, Qiao Sang returned to her room, took out her phone, logged into the Beast Taming Center's official website, and posted a task to find a pet that would increase her luck value.

"Search?"

Just as the announcement was being made, Little Treasure Hunter floated over, its eyes sparkling, and barked, asking when it was time to get the screen replaced.
Qiao Sang glanced at it with amusement and said:
"I meant if Qi Yufeng doesn't have anything to give you, I'll get you something else."

"Looking around~"

Little Treasure called out, indicating that a whole night had passed and Qi Yufeng still hadn't come, so it must have forgotten about bringing it something.

I get the feeling you're actually quite happy that Qi Yufeng isn't sending it to you... Qiao Sang looked away, continuing to issue tasks as she spoke:
"Everyone needs to sleep at night, so let's wait a bit longer. If it hasn't arrived before we leave, I'll take you to get your screen replaced."

"Looking around~"

Little Treasure Hunter nodded, then floated to the window and began to pray silently:

"Searching, searching..."

Please don't come, please don't come...

"Ya?"

Ya Bao came to its beast tamer's side and called out curiously, indicating when they were leaving.

Without even thinking, Qiao Sang answered:

"tomorrow."

She wasn't planning to wait for Qi Yufeng to come before leaving. However, the Dragon King was right about one thing: given Qi Yufeng's personality, it was indeed very likely that she would forget about her promise to Xiao Xunbao. This was especially true when she saw Su Ye Bao Bao still waiting for Qi Yufeng in the room yesterday.

I'll leave tomorrow, simply because the Fairy Jade will arrive tomorrow.

"Ya?"

Ya Bao called out curiously, indicating where we were going next?
Qiao Sang paused for a moment.

She really hadn't thought about it yet...

"Teacher, where are we going next?" Qiao Sang asked, looking towards the room inside.

Michaela, wearing a face mask, opened the door and walked out, saying:
"Let's not leave yet. Let's go to the Beast Taming Center first."

Qiao Sang was taken aback: "What are you going to the Beast Taming Center for?"

Michaela calmly said, "Go apply for the A-level professional beast tamer exam."

Qiao Sang: "???"

This is too sudden... Qiao Sang thought to herself, "I'm not ready yet."

A-level professional beast tamers only have one chance to take the exam each year, and she wanted to be fully prepared before taking it.

“After you apply for the A-level professional beast tamer assessment, the examiners won’t be arranged to conduct the assessment immediately. Instead, it will take some time.” Michaela said while opening the refrigerator and taking out milk. “Moreover, I have already learned that in recent years, the task assessment in the A-level professional beast tamer assessment on Yantian Star has been conducted before the combat assessment.”

"Even if the time for arranging examiners is faster this time, what you will have to do first is the task assessment. The task assessment for A-level professional beast tamers takes at least a month to complete, and some people can't even finish it in a year."

Qiao Sang was shocked: "It can't be finished in a year?"

A beast tamer who can sign up for the A-level professional beast tamer assessment has a brain capacity exceeding 60% and at least two of their pets are royal-level pets. With such strength, how could there be a task that they can't complete in a year? Is this task some kind of hellish difficulty?
Michaela hummed in agreement: "Many Beast Tamers get stuck on the mission assessment. Generally speaking, the mission assessment period is one year. If you can't complete it within one year, you have to re-register."

Qiao Sang asked curiously, "Teacher, what were the tasks for you when you were assessed for the A-level professional beast tamer?"

Michaela's expression suddenly became complicated: "To expel a race."

"Expelled?" Qiao Sang was stunned for a moment, then she realized something and asked, "You took the mission assessment on Super Star?"

“No,” Michaela said, “it’s on Tianyuan Star.”

Tianyuan Star is also a planet where humans and pets coexist. However, this planet is different from the situation on Chaoxiu Star where humans completely suppress pets, and it is also different from the situation on Yantian Star where humans and pets live in complete peace.

The relationship between humans and pets on this planet is quite delicate. All countries can be roughly divided into three categories: those mainly governed by humans, those mainly governed by pets, and those jointly governed by humans and pets.

Occasionally, pets from countries primarily governed by pets may cross the border into countries primarily governed by humans without proper permits. In such cases, special measures are needed to expel them.

"Grind."

While recalling information about Tianyuan Star, the Dragon King suddenly shouted, indicating that his beast tamer's last pet was encountered among this race.

Qiao Sang's thoughts stopped abruptly, and she was stunned for a moment: "What do you mean? The teacher expelled this race, yet the pets of this race are still willing to form a contract with the teacher?"

After saying that, she smiled and flattered, "Is the teacher really that charismatic?"

Michaela: "..."

Feeling the slightly admiring gaze of his prodigious student, Michael felt a sudden pang of unease. He coughed, signaling the Dragon King to stop talking.

The Dragon King realized what his beast tamer meant and, to his credit, kept quiet.

"Investigate further."

At this moment, Jiu Bugu, who was by the window, looked out the window and called out, indicating that the little guy was just an egg at the time and did not know that his race had been driven out by his own beast tamer.

"Grind."

The Dragon King waved his claws and let out a cry.

That's not what it said.

"I forgot about that guy, Jiu Bu Gu, again..." Michaela's lips twitched violently.

"This..." Qiao Sang paused for two seconds, then asked, "Where is that pet beast now?"

Generally speaking, when a professional beast tamer retires and no longer needs to compete, their pets will have their own ideas and go about their own business. The beast tamer will usually only bring their first and last contracted pets to live or travel with.

The former are used to being together and are like family, while the latter is the youngest and still needs to be nurtured.

Michaela slowly exhaled and said:

"It is on Tianyuan Star."

Teacher Michaela is an S-rank Beastmaster. Even if it's the last pet she contracted, its level must be quite high. It's normal for her to live alone on the planet where she was born... Qiao Sang thought to herself.

"Investigate further."

"Jiujiu." Jiu Bugu looked out the window and called out twice.

After participating in the Interstellar Cup, someone discovered that the little guy's race was banished by his own Beastmaster. After finding out, the little guy argued with his Beastmaster and stayed on Tianyuan Star.

Michaela: "..."

Michaela could no longer contain himself and with a wave of his hand, he retrieved Jiu Bugu from the Beast Taming Manual.

It seems like almost all of Teacher Michaela's pets left after the Star Cup... Jossan looked at Teacher Michaela with a complicated expression.

Michaela removed the mask, changed the subject without batting an eye, and said:

"Let's get ready, we're going to the Beast Taming Center."

Five minutes later, the two and a group of pet beasts appeared out of thin air at the entrance of the Beast Taming Center.

The people and pets around looked over, then realized something, their eyes lit up, and they all took out their phones and pointed them at the camera.

Qi Yufeng is the highest administrator of this island, and her every move is closely watched. Xiao Xunbao has been doing live broadcasts from time to time, and occasionally Qi Yufeng is captured in the footage.

Because of Qi Yufeng, Xiao Xunbao has become one of the most popular internet celebrities on Flying Bird Island recently.

"This must be Little Treasure Hunter! It looks so cute, it doesn't look like a ghost-type pet at all."

"Where is Qi Yufeng? Isn't Qi Yufeng with it?"

"Qi Yu Feng can't stay with it forever."

"I have to say, the little treasure hunt is much better than the live stream."

"Looking around~"

The sounds of people and animals around Xiao Xunbao reached its ears, and Xiao Xunbao couldn't help but grin and wave its paws at the people and animals taking pictures around it.

Seeing this, Qingbao silently appeared, struck an elegant pose, and stroked the white cloud pattern on her hem.

However, everyone's attention was almost entirely focused on the little treasure hunter.

Qingbao pursed her lips and disappeared again.

At the same time, a sudden gust of wind arose around us.

"We're going in, let's keep the wind out," Qiao Sang said.

Qingbao did not respond, but the wind that had just started blowing suddenly stopped again.

After entering the Beast Taming Center, Qiao Sang took a number and headed to window number 1.

The assessment for A-level professional beast tamers can no longer be scheduled independently; instead, candidates must make an appointment in person at the window.

"Hello, what can I do for you?"

"I want to apply for the A-level professional beast tamer assessment."

The staff member reviewed the documents for a while, performed a few operations, and said respectfully, "Your application has been processed here. Please note that because you are applying for the A-level professional beast tamer assessment, the processing time is uncertain and may take up to a month to get a result."

"The time and location of the assessment will be sent to your Beast Taming official backend and mobile phone."

“Understood,” Qiao Sang said.

The staff member continued respectfully, "Because we've detected that you're from Blue Star, we'd like to remind you that if you're registering for the A-level professional beast tamer exam for the first time on Yantian Star, any subsequent re-examinations will also be conducted on Yantian Star."

“I know,” Qiao Sang nodded.

Teacher Michael had already mentioned these things beforehand.

The staff member looked down, about to hand back the ID and Beast Taming Badge, when suddenly she saw something on the computer, looked up, and smiled:

"Congratulations! Your application for the A-level professional beast tamer assessment has just been approved. The Beast Taming Alliance has arranged an examiner for you. You are the fastest beast tamer I have ever seen to pass the assessment."

As he spoke, he handed over his ID and Beast Taming Badge.

Qiao Sang: "???"

Has your application been approved?
Isn't it said that the assessment for A-level professional beast tamers won't be arranged with examiners immediately, but will take some time?

Josang took the ID card and Beast Taming Badge, looking at Teacher Michaela with a bewildered expression.

Michaela was silent for two seconds before saying, "You are also the fastest Beast Tamer I have ever seen to pass the application and assessment."

To be honest, she really didn't expect Qiao Sang's assessment application to be approved so quickly. When she applied for the A-level professional beast tamer assessment, it took the beast taming center a full 28 days to contact her.

Qiao Sang: "???"

Suddenly, my phone vibrated.

Qiao Sang took it out and saw that it was sent by the Beast Taming Center:

[Dear Beast Tamer Qiao Sang: Hello, your application assessment for A-level professional beast tamer has been passed. Please keep your phone accessible. The examiner who assessed you will contact you within three business days. If you have any questions, please visit the Beast Taming Center or the official website for inquiries and consultations.]

Three business days?! Josan looked at Teacher Michaela again.

Michaela already guessed what the text message contained, coughed, and said:
"Don't worry, the assessment period should be one year. Just train during the assessment period."

Qiao Sang sighed, "That's the only way."

……

at the same time.

In a lush green forest, the tenth seat, who had been keeping his eyes closed, suddenly opened them.

The next second, a square-shaped pet beast, its entire body gleaming with silver light, appeared out of thin air and respectfully called out twice:
"Review it."

"Review it."

The beast tamer you've been following just applied for the A-level professional beast tamer exam, and I helped her pass it ahead of schedule.

"Wearing nylon."

The tenth seatman called out with a smile.

It's progressing even faster than it imagined.

Then it seemed to remember something and called out again:
"Wearing nylon."

Shorten the time allotted for her task assessment, but don't make the task too easy.

"Review it."

The square-shaped pet, its entire body gleaming with silver light, respectfully called out, indicating that it would make the arrangements.

After saying that, he disappeared from the spot.

The tenth seat closed his eyes again.

……

Hotel, outdoor training ground.

"What terrible luck! Everyone else takes about a month to get approved after applying, but she got approved immediately..." Qiao Sang sighed heavily as she looked at Ya Bao and the others who were training.

Fortunately, the task assessment takes a long time, so I can finish the task early. Then I can drag it out until Qingbao evolves and Xiao Xunbao's double training is almost complete before submitting the task...

Just then, my phone vibrated. (End of Chapter)
