Beast Taming Begins with Inheriting a Legacy.

"Meow~"

"Hehehe~"

Early in the morning, as soon as Gu Ling opened her eyes, she saw Xian Jiu and the mischievous ghost wearing the outfits designed last night, striking cool poses.

Seeing that Gu Ling had woken up, Xian Jiu and the mischievous ghost quickly asked Gu Ling to comment on which set of aptitude was the coolest and cutest.

"Xian Jiu, you don't need to play today." Gu Ling raised her hand, grabbed a handful of hair, threw off the covers, got out of bed, and went to the bathroom to wash up.

Xian Jiu's excited expression froze instantly.

"Meow—" How could I have forgotten something so important?!

Xianjiu, the cat, deflated like a punctured balloon, lying flat on the floor like a cat pancake, as if her soul had been stolen.

The mischievous imp floated over and poked Xian Jiu's ear with his chubby little hand.

Xian Jiu's ears twitched, and she immediately sat up, her face instantly turning serious as she said solemnly, "Meow~" Gui Gui, you have to win the competition with my share of coolness!

The mischievous boy raised his right hand and gave a less-than-perfect salute: "Hehehe~" Don't worry, Chief Meow Meow! I will not fail in my mission!

"Miwoo~" Chongye~

"Hehehe~" Victory is assured!

"..."

When Gu Ling came out of the bathroom, she saw the two little ones with their heads close together, whispering and plotting something.

"Weiwei, it's time to get up." Gu Ling went to wake Huang Weiwei up.

"...I'll sleep for one more minute."

Huang Weiwei buried her face in the pillow and, after mentally preparing herself, finally crawled out of the warm bed.

A moment later, after Gu Ling and Huang Weiwei finished getting ready, they went out together.

In the hotel corridor.

Gu Ling and Huang Weiwei were on their way to find Xia Zihan and three other girls to have breakfast together when they heard Xia Zihan's voice from around the corner. It sounded like she was on the phone with someone.

"Grandma...yes, open that video, then click on it...the live stream of the match is right here, just click the zoom in button in the bottom right corner..."

"The competition starts at 9 o'clock, but it hasn't started yet... I'm the first one to go on stage... Okay, I'll do my best..."

Upon hearing Xia Zihan call out "Grandma," Gu Ling couldn't help but recall Xia Zihan's family situation.

Having spent so much time together, Xia Zihan didn't deliberately avoid talking about her family situation. Therefore, Gu Ling knew that when Xia Zihan was a child, her parents had an arranged marriage with no emotional foundation. Later, they both met people they liked and got divorced. Neither side was willing to take Xia Zihan to their new families, and they were only willing to give her living expenses.

Finally, Xia Zihan was adopted by a widowed grandmother in the same village and has been raised by her ever since.

Xia Zihan's parents stopped sending her living expenses a few years ago, so she works part-time jobs to earn her living expenses.

Xia Zihan's miniature doll was a gift from the boss of a place where she used to work part-time. The boss's child didn't like ghost-themed miniature dolls after they were hatched and refused to have them no matter what.

In Longxuan Kingdom, it is illegal to abandon pets or pet eggs purchased from legitimate organizations.

Just then, the boss learned that Xia Zihan was preparing to raise money to buy a pet egg, so he gave Xia Zihan the mini doll.

However, Xia Zihan still wrote an IOU, promising to repay the boss when she earned money in the future.

"...Okay, that's all, I'll hang up now."

Gu Ling and Huang Weiwei remained silent and walked further away, waiting for Xia Zihan to finish her call before going to look for her.

……

An hour later.

Inside the central battle arena.

Because of the large number of people entering the venue, Gu Ling and his group used the exclusive player entrance.

"Wow, there are so many people! I just counted, and I saw seven or eight media outlets in total..."

"After all, this is the team competition finals, and many schools brought their students early in the morning, plus some social media influencers..."

"Even though I'm not going to play, I still feel so nervous!"

"..."

A moment later, the group finally arrived at the players' rest area and waited quietly for the competition to begin.

The music playing at the event mingled with the noise from the audience, creating a bustling atmosphere that even dispelled some of the winter chill.

The students from Nanping No. 1 Middle School felt as if their blood was burning, and they felt very hot and restless.

"Welcome to the competition venue and to all viewers watching the live stream! The exciting finals of the friendly team competition are about to begin!"

"In this competition, the reigning champions of the friendly match, the Beastmaster Vocational High School, will face off against this year's dark horse team, Nanping No. 1 High School..."

"Beast Taming Vocational High School has won the team championship in the friendly match for two consecutive years and is the team with the highest chance of winning this year's friendly match. If Beast Taming Vocational High School wins the match, they will achieve a three-peat! It's really something to look forward to..."

The director's voice was clearly transmitted to every corner of the competition venue, with clear pronunciation and genuine emotion.

The words "three-peat" felt like a heavy mountain weighing on the hearts of everyone at Nanping No. 1 Middle School, making them feel suffocated and breathless.

At this moment, Zhou Mengran pointed to a spot in the audience: "Look over there."

Everyone looked in the direction Zhou Mengran pointed. They couldn't see the people in the audience clearly from a distance, but there was a conspicuous banner there.

—A golden carp is no ordinary fish; it transforms into a dragon when it encounters wind and clouds! Nanping No.1 Middle School will surely prevail!

"Yunliang and the others have arrived!"

"I saw Xiaojun and the others..."

"Holy crap! I find this banner so embarrassing..."

It turned out that the rest of the elite class students had come to the scene and were now sitting in the audience, cheering for Gu Ling and the others.

"Yes, you've made it to the finals, so as agreed, they can come to Hailan City to watch your match."

Back when Gu Ling and others made it into the top eight, Zhou Mengran wanted to apply for all the students in the elite class to come to Hailan City for observation and learning.

However, at that time, Yulan Middle School was found to have used animal stimulants, which caused a delay.

"Since all these guys are here, we can't afford to lose too badly, or we'll lose face." Pei Gang finally showed a smile.

"That's right, everyone is watching us." Xia Zihan's eyes were bright and clear, as if they contained a pool of water, and the corners of her lips curved slightly.

Although everyone relaxed all day yesterday and optimistically comforted themselves and their partners, even if they lost and got the runner-up, it would still be an awesome thing.

But with the championship trophy so close at hand, don't you really want to lift it up in front of everyone?

Because the opponent was too strong, everyone assumed that the champion would be the Beast Taming Vocational High School, and it seemed that even they themselves had accepted it... Perhaps they were a little unwilling and resentful.

Yesterday, Zhou Mengran noticed everyone's unusual behavior, so she kept the news that all the students in the elite class had come to Hailan City a secret until now.

"We won't lose." Gu Ling sat on the bench, pinching Xian Jiu's cat paw.

With Xian Jiu wearing a helmet, her fluffy head was impossible to stroke, so Gu Ling had to settle for pinching her paws instead.

Gu Ling looked up at her companions, her smile gentle, her voice carrying a certain convincing power:

"We will win, we will win the team championship for Nanping No.1 Middle School, and for ourselves and our pets."

"The championship is ours." (End of Chapter)
