Beast Taming Starts from Zero

"Qiao Sang! Qiao Sang!"

"Li Muxin! Li Muxin!"

"Qiao Sang! Qiao Sang!"

Even though it was supposed to be Li Muxin's home turf on Yantian Star, Qiao Sang's cheers suddenly overshadowed his opponent's.

Even before officially appearing on stage, the cheers were already deafening – that's the effect of a super popular contestant.

"Josang, 18 years old, the youngest A-level Beastmaster in history! In the last round of the competition, she defeated her opponent with a score of 6:0! Becoming the first contestant to win in the preliminary round!" On the commentary stage, Auror introduced her with a passionate tone.

As he finished speaking, a beam of white light descended upon the high platform.

When the white light dissipated, Qiao Sang's figure appeared within it.

She waved and smiled as she greeted the audience.

All eyes turned to him, and the cheers grew even louder.

"Qiao Sang! Qiao Sang!"

"Qiao Sang! Qiao Sang!"

Many people were shouting at the top of their lungs, as if they were seeing a superstar they had been following for decades.

"Li Muxin, 69 years old, is a leading figure among the new generation of A-level professional beast tamers in the Yantian Star Dragon Kingdom! He has shown absolute dominance in international competitions! In the last round of the competition, he also defeated his opponent with an absolute advantage and entered this round of elimination!" Nefertis introduced loudly.

A beam of white light landed on the high platform on the other side.

The white light disappeared, and a man who looked to be only about 25 years old, with black hair and black eyes, a square face, and a resolute demeanor, appeared on the platform.

"Li Muxin! Li Muxin!"

The cheers from the audience for Li Muxin suddenly grew louder, but were quickly drowned out by the shouts for Qiao Sang.

"Both of these players won their last matches with overwhelming dominance, and both are from the Dragon Kingdom, one from Flame Star and the other from Blue Star." On the commentary stage, Nefertis asked, "Your Majesty, who do you favor in this match?"

The Dragon King instinctively raised its paw, bringing it close to its nostrils. However, just a centimeter away, it remembered something, quickly lowered its paw, and let out a cry:
"Grind."

Need I even ask? Of course it's Qiao Sang.

"Oh?" Auror listened to the real-time translation in his earpiece and chuckled, "It seems that the Dragon King has a high opinion of player Jossan."

Meanwhile, above and behind the audience seats, in the VIP boxes.

Michael pushed open the door and walked in.

Margot, standing by the floor-to-ceiling window, turned her head and asked, "What are you doing here?"

Michaela sat down on the sofa and said, "Didn't you send me?"

“I told you to bring Josan here, not for you to come alone,” Margot said, displeased.

“She has to prepare for the competition and doesn’t have time to come,” Michaela said calmly.

Margot scoffed: "After the preliminaries ended, for a week, you kept saying you didn't have time."

“She really doesn’t have time.” Michaela looked at the field and said, “She fills her time every day, not only with training, but also by watching other competitors’ past matches.”

Are you sure you're not showing off...? Margot thought sourly.

"Where's Jules?" Michaela asked, then seemed to remember something.

“He didn’t have a match today, so he went back to training a long time ago,” Margot said.

Michaela said calmly, "I remember his opponents in this match have four royal-level pet beasts. He should go back to training as soon as possible."

Margot: "..."

Margot turned her head, looked through the floor-to-ceiling window at the two figures standing on the field, and said:
"Li Muxin has enough strength and a stable mentality. Even when facing unfavorable situations, he can keep his composure and even try to win back the game. To be honest, he already has the mental qualities of a top professional player. Qiao Sang will probably not have an easy time against such an opponent."

“When I had her participate in the Master Challenge, I never expected the other players to be easy to beat,” Michaela said calmly. “Josan has had it too easy all the way. I’d rather she lose a few games.”

Margot raised an eyebrow. Michaela continued, "But she won't lose. She'll win this match."

I knew it… Margot glanced at the Dragon King on the commentary platform and said, “You and your pet beast both think highly of her.”

During the conversation, a mechanical-type pet wearing a referee's badge appeared on the field and blew the whistle to indicate that preparations were underway.

The number "10" appeared in the light and shadow on the field.

The mechanical sound kept changing:

“9, 8, 7... 3, 2, 1”.

The light and shadow disappeared.

Qiao Sang and Li Muxin simultaneously formed hand seals.

Two deep, mysterious purple star arrays lit up on the field.

Soon, enormous pet beasts appeared in their respective star arrays.

With the appearance of the two pets, the temperature on the field seemed to rise several degrees.

"Warm!"

"Teeth!!!"

Upon seeing the magnificent, never-before-seen pet, a clamor suddenly arose in the audience:

"This must be Fen Di Duo. He's even more handsome than in the promotional video!"

“I saw it online; apparently, this is the first pet beast that Qiao Sang contracted.”

"Honestly, I think all of Qiao Sang's contracted pets are really good-looking..."

"I heard that the Burning Emperor is also a completely new form, and it was cultivated by Qiao Sang..."

"Really?" The person who spoke looked completely disbelieving.

From the commentary booth, Nefertis shouted:

"Both sides have sent out their respective pet beasts! Li Muxin summoned Nuan Shiya! And Qiao Sang summoned Fen Di Duo!"

Auror added:

"Warm Origin, a royal-level fire-type pet, is an extremely rare pet in the Flame Star Dragon Kingdom, while Qiao Sang's Burning Emperor..."

"Grind."

"Grind."

Before he could finish speaking, the Dragon King, who was sitting in the middle, called out twice to help with the introduction.

Fen Di Duo, a dual-attribute pet beast of fire and psychic types, is a brand new form bred by contestant Qiao Sang. In terms of rarity, it is much higher than Nuan Shi Ya.

Nephthys and Aurol both showed expressions of surprise.

"It seems that the Dragon King knows a lot about the Burning Emperor." After remarking, Auror said, "That's right. Like the Steel Power Emperor, the Burning Emperor is a new type of pet beast bred by Qiao Sang. Currently, there is only one like it in the entire interstellar space."

Upon hearing this, everyone was stunned, and they all showed expressions of shock and astonishment.

At 18, she nurtured two new forms of royal-level pet beasts. How... how did she manage that...?

"Is this really a human being..." someone murmured in the audience.

“From the moment I found out she was only 18, I stopped seeing her as a human being…” The person next to me responded in a similarly dreamlike voice.

On the field.

Qiao Sang automatically blocked out the sounds from the surrounding audience seats and looked at the pet beast in the distant star array.

Warm Beginning, a royal-level fire-type pet, is said to require flames reaching temperatures of up to 1000 degrees Celsius to hatch. It is a rare fire-type pet with a gentle temperament. Due to different growing environments, the Warm Beginning on Blue Star is orange-yellow, while the Warm Beginning on Flame Star is crimson red. (End of Chapter)
