A distinctive triangular pair of sunglasses and a familiar figure instantly made her recognize him as her own, Yabao.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Qiao Sang was stunned for a moment. Rather than feeling joy at Yabao's quick arrival at the relay point, she was deeply worried.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Isn't this Blaze mode?! What's going on? Why is the Blaze trait out?! Did it activate from exhaustion during the marathon?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Thinking about it, Qiao Sang suddenly felt a bit guilty.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It wasn't entirely impossible...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yabao stopped at the third relay point, not looking for the figure of the Roaring Swamp Crocodile, but instead smirked disdainfully at Bouncing Pig, who had been half a step slower, raising his right paw and extending his pinky.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Bouncing Ball Pig glanced at Yabao out of the corner of its eye, and the next second, passed by it, handing the yellow relay band to a small Rain Frog at the shore.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yabao maintained his cool pose, but his stiff smile made it clear that he had frozen on the spot.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Less than half a year old, Yabao was experiencing the ups and downs of life for the first time.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even the flames on his body, once fierce, now seemed dimmed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Yabao, pass the relay band!\" Qiao Sang shouted.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Yap! Yap!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yabao snapped back to reality and turned to pass the baton to Roaring Swamp Crocodile, who had been waiting almost in tears.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It lowered its head.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Yap?!\"Where's the relay band?! ...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The pet marathon in Qitang Town had, for the first time in history, encountered a missing relay band mid-race.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>No other choice but to rush and issue a new one.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>No one had expected the band to be burned up by a Yabao who had activated his Blaze trait.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Fire-type pets were already rare in the town, and those with the Blaze trait were even more uncommon. For the locals, seeing a pet trigger Blaze during a marathon was a first.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In a way, Yabao had become famous in Qitang Town.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>For future pet marathons, the organizers would specially provide relay bands made from fire-resistant materials for fire-type pets.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Of course, that was a story for another time.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>By the time the staff rushed over with a new relay band, three minutes had already passed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The pet marathon competitors were divided into four ranks based on their performance.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>First, those far ahead of the pack; second, those keeping up with the main group; third, those barely making it on time; and fourth, those who dropped out midway.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yabao's performance this time was decent, placing him in the second tier.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, the pets in the second tier were quite close in strength, with only a few seconds separating the ranks.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Due to the three-minute delay, Yabao's original 51st place in the second leg dropped to 62nd.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"No worries, I never expected us to get 62nd in the first place.\" Qiao Sang comforted.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Yap...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yabao's eyes were teary with sorrow.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He had never lost before, and now he had not only lost but was beaten by 61 others.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Yap~\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Little Treasure, ever timely, handed over a ring and some milk.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yabao took the milk and, still bitter, began drinking.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Despite the sadness, the milk was still worth drinking.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Look at you, back when you activated Blaze, you fainted shortly after. Now, you're staying conscious and still able to drink milk. That's progress.\" Qiao Sang continued to comfort.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yabao paused mid-drink and stared blankly at his beastmaster.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>That... made sense...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Yap!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yabao's eyes brightened, and his mood instantly lifted.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ye Ranyan, watching Qiao Sang revive Yabao with just a few words, marveled, \"I suddenly think Jingwen was right. You really do have a knack for being a breeder.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A breeder not only needed to understand the care and health of different pets but also had to tailor different growth plans based on the pet's current mental state and strength.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>One of the exams to become a breeder was Pet Psychology.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Qiao Sang, having only recently contracted with Yabao, could already grasp his mental state clearly,definitely a talent.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"It's rare to see a fire-type pet so young triggering Blaze. Ah-Sang has talent, and so does her pet. She should become a professional beastmaster.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Her Third Uncle commented while watching the Roaring Swamp Crocodile half-submerged in water, a smile on his face, clearly satisfied with Yabao's timing.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Today, Ranyan and Ah-Sang, you’ve worked hard. If we win first place this time, feel free to browse through the photo album.\" He added with a smile.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>That’s really unnecessary!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ever since she learned what the personal prize was, Qiao Sang had been too embarrassed to even look at her Third Uncle.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His prize choice did not match the diligent, mature, and stable image he usually portrayed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Who knew what her Aunt and Jingwen thought of his motivation for participating in the marathon?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Qiao Sang instinctively looked around for her Aunt and Jingwen.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They were engrossed, excitedly taking pictures of the competing pets, completely oblivious to the conversation happening over here.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Qiao Sang watched and chose not to disturb them.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>For the ordinary residents of the town, this was a rare opportunity to see so many pets in person at once.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>---\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Su Song Old Street.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A public hall.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As one of the few pet beastmaster events in town, the whole town was paying attention.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Most people gathered at the starting line, but the rules didn’t allow following the race. With the hot weather, standing outside wasn’t pleasant.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>So the live broadcast at various locations was packed with people.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Su Song Old Street, being near the third relay point for the fifth leg, had set up a venue to watch the live broadcast in its hall.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Qiao Sang, a participant in the first lane, had to send Yabao to the second relay point and hurry to the third to wait, leaving no time to watch the live stream.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But now she did.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Qiao Sang stood on tiptoe, trying to see the big screen in the hall, but the crowd blocked her view.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yabao, copying his beastmaster, also stood on tiptoe, but of course, he couldn’t see anything either.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Only Little Treasure floated half a meter higher, taking in the live broadcast scene with ease.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Ah-Sang, stop struggling. I'm taller than you, and even I can't see. How can you?\" Ye Ranyan said beside her.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Qiao Sang: ...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She couldn't argue with that...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At that moment, a man standing in front suddenly turned around.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He saw Qiao Sang and paused, then looked to the side.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Sure enough, he spotted the memorable fire-type pet from the earlier broadcast.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Isn’t that the little fire dog who fell, got up, overtook the pig, then got overtaken by the pig, and burned the relay band?!\" The man exclaimed excitedly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In an instant, everyone in front turned to look.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Where?!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Where is it? Let me see!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Let them through! Don’t block them outside!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I know! It’s the Fire fang Dog!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Move aside and let them through!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Thanks to Yabao, Qiao Sang and Ye Ranyan found themselves with prime VIP seats at the front of the hall to watch the live broadcast.\u003C\u002Fp>",1193,"2026-06-06T02:23:08.562Z",1,"novelbin.me","04501ef81dd3dddcc0dcb94262b193295c1f1a8b5bfb9c57f2b0d3ebc016a089","beast-taming-starting-from-zero-chapter-102","beast-taming-starting-from-zero-chapter-300",1023,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fbeast-taming-starting-from-zero-cover.jpg"]
