Beast Taming Starts from Zero

Qiao Sang was taken aback, somewhat surprised: "The Master Challenge has started so soon?"

“This competition doesn’t have a fixed date,” Michaela said calmly. “They’ve already started advertising, so it’s normal for the date to be moved up a little.”

Qiao Sang didn't speak, but instead watched the giant flying pet gradually disappear into the distance outside the window.

"What are you thinking about?" Michaela asked.

Qiao Sang withdrew her gaze, paused for a moment, and asked:

"Teacher, do you think I have a chance if I sign up for this year's Master Challenge?"

She hadn't forgotten that the champion of the Master Challenge would receive a Sun Crystal.

Michaela's first thought was: Hope? What hope?
Then came the second thought: I almost forgot that the champion of the Master Challenge is guaranteed to receive a Sun Crystal...

She fell silent.

To be honest, with Qiao Sang's current qualifications, she could definitely sign up for the Master Challenge, but the chances of winning the championship were still a bit slim. She had only just become a formal A-level professional beast tamer, while all the beast tamers who signed up for the Master Challenge were geniuses among geniuses.

Of course, their talent is nothing compared to Qiao Sang's, but they are older and have been A-level professional beast tamers for a long time.

Immediately, Michaela thought of the examiner from today's test and Jossan's performance during the test.

Most people who have just become A-level professional beast tamers would have no chance of winning a competition of this scale, but Qiao Sang might be a different story...

After all, her extraordinary talent far exceeded his imagination. Even though he was already quite resilient, he was still occasionally shocked.

There's still a month until the competition. If she doesn't have the same bad luck at the start as I did, encountering a strong contender for the championship right away, with her talent, it's not impossible for her to improve rapidly during the competition… Various thoughts flashed through Michaela's mind before she finally settled them and said:

"You can sign up and give it a try."

She did not answer the question directly.

If he could win the championship, getting the Sun Crystal would be the best outcome. If he couldn't win the championship, he could still build a good relationship with the strong contender for the championship. That way, he could contact whoever got the Sun Crystal as soon as possible, and maybe the other party would be willing to exchange it... The more Qiao Sang thought about it, the more it made sense.

She had already planned to participate in the Master Challenge if she couldn't find the Sun Crystal, but she never expected that day to come so soon...

"What are the requirements for registering for the Master Challenge?" Qiao Sang took a sip of his drink and asked, "I just saw in the advertisement that the Master Challenge is a competition that covers countries and regions all over the world. I'm from Blue Star, can I participate?"

“Why can’t we participate?” Michaela put a piece of beef in his mouth and said, “It’s said to cover the whole world, but the competition is only held on Yantian Star. In fact, any beast tamer from any planet can register to participate as long as they are currently on Yantian Star and meet the requirements.”

"Many A-level Beast Tamers will travel from other planets specifically for the Master Challenge."

"Many students from our class have participated in this competition."

"Speaking of which, the Master Challenge is broadcast live across the entire StarCraft universe."

Live broadcast across the entire galaxy… Qiao Sang paused for a moment, then his eyes lit up.

Wouldn't that mean Mom would be able to watch my competition?
Gangbao, who was standing next to him, seemed to have thought of something, and his eyes lit up as well.

Michaela continued, "Your qualifications definitely meet the criteria for participation. I remember that the strictest requirement for the Master Challenge is the age limit; only A-level professional beast tamers under the age of 70 can participate."

A-level Beast Tamers under 70 years old... Are these conditions strict? I guess many Beast Tamers could participate... The odds of winning the competition seem to have decreased quite a bit... Qiao Sang sighed inwardly, but smiled and said on the surface, "If it's broadcast live across the entire interstellar space, then I definitely have to let my mom watch it."

After saying that, he picked up his phone and sent a message to his mother:
[Mom, quickly download a StarCraft channel!]

Generally, interstellar tournaments can only be watched on interstellar channels, except for the StarCraft Cup, which was broadcast live on almost every tournament channel back then. There was no reply from the other end of the phone.

It's late at night on Earth, Mom should still be asleep... Qiao Sang glanced at the time, put down her phone, and said:
"It seems we need to change our itinerary."

After saying that, she looked at Xia Lala and said, "I'm sorry, I may have to participate in competitions for a while and won't be able to travel."

"Qingqing..."

While eating, Sharala called out to indicate that it was okay, as it also enjoyed watching the game live.

Xia Lala has such a good temper. If she were to contract another pet beast in the future, besides considering the upper limit of the species, she would have to find one with such a good temper... Qiao Sang thought to herself.

To be honest, she used to think that Qingbao had the best temper among all her pets, but later she found that this was not the case at all, especially when she could understand what the surrounding wind meant.

Thinking about it carefully, it seems that among Ya Bao's friends, only Xiao Xun Bao and Lu Bao have good tempers...

No, Lu Bao's temper isn't exactly good either; it's just that most things don't evoke much emotion in it anymore...

"Steel rights?"

Just then, Gangbao's voice rang in my mind.

what about me?
"How dare you ask? If I say you're hard, you'll glare at me," Qiao Sang replied in her mind.

Having let her thoughts run wild for too long, she is no longer afraid of Gangbao knowing what's on her mind.

Steel Treasure: "..."

During their conversation, Michaela asked, "Are you planning to train for the entire month?"

Qiao Sang hummed in agreement: "There's only one month left, so we have to train."

Michaela took a bite of dessert and said, "Okay, I'll book a villa in Tanzania with good privacy so it'll be convenient for your training."

Qiao Sang was taken aback: "Tanka?"

“This year’s Masters Challenge will be held in Tanzania,” Michaela said slowly. “If we go there now, we might be able to find a good place to stay. If we wait any longer, and everyone gradually arrives, we won’t be able to find a satisfactory place to stay. So, after we finish eating, let’s go back to our rooms and get ready. We’ll go to Tanzania tomorrow.”

In Tan Kingdom, 50% of the land is desert or semi-desert. Water, ice, and grass-type pets are rare, while ground and rock-type pets are more common. Many beast tamers come here specifically to contract these two types of pets.

The competition is estimated to last several months, and I don't know if Xia Lala will be able to settle in there... Qiao Sang first said "okay," then looked at Xia Lala and asked:

Do you know Tanzania?

"Qingqing."

Xia Lala nodded.

“Then you…” Qiao Sang hesitated.

"Qingqing."

Xia Lala keenly sensed what Qiao Sang was about to say and quickly interrupted him with a call.

It's fine for me to go to Tanzania; I'll go wherever you go. (End of Chapter)
