Looks like this kid has no chance…\" Although the tone was sympathetic, the speaker’s voice had an unmistakable trace of schadenfreude.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Why is Wen Lei here all of a sudden? I’m up right after the next candidate. What if she’s the one assessing me?!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Since I came in, I haven’t seen a single person pass under her watch. This girl’s doomed.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“This your first time taking the exam?” Asked the man in a white T-shirt sitting beside him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The boy paused.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Yeah, why?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Well, that explains it.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The man in the white T-shirt explained, “Anyone who’s taken this exam before knows about Examiner Wen. Pretty much nobody earns an E-rank qualification under her.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Examiners all have solid skills, and they adjust how much they hold back based on the applicant’s level. But Wen Lei… she never holds back.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The boy froze upon hearing this. Examiners are skilled; even with a mid-level pet beast, their experience and mastery are on a whole different level than the applicants.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Without holding back, how could anyone pass?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Understanding the situation, the boy looked at Qiao Sang with newfound sympathy.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>On the field:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Let’s begin.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Once the two pet beasts were in position, Wen Lei spoke, waiting for Qiao Sang to make the first move.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It wasn’t that Wen Lei didn’t want to attack first; she was just concerned that if she did, her opponent wouldn’t be able to showcase the Flame Hound’s full potential. It might even be over within two moves.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Alright.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Qiao Sang looked remarkably calm.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Though Shi Gaofeng had told her about the examiner’s nickname,Don’t Even Think About Passing, she had complete confidence in Yabao given they were both mid-level pet beasts.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Yabao.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Qiao Sang said coolly, “Use speed to finish it.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Yap!” Yabao immediately understood, raising his head and letting out an excited cry, sending a wave of heat surging around them.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A Swift Cat, an evolved form of the Long-eared Cat, ranks among the top five fastest mid-level pet beasts in the Yu Hua region. Information about the opponent’s pet beast flashed through Qiao Sang’s mind.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A month ago, she might not have been completely certain,but now…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“What skill is this?!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Looks like Flame Charge! But Flame Charge shouldn’t be this intense!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“It’s the skill proficiency! That’s why!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Exclamations filled the exam room. Several beast tamers waiting in the back row stood up in amazement.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Flame Hound on the field was engulfed in bright red flames. Its body was obscured within the blaze, creating a mirage-like distortion around it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At that moment, the fire seemed to be one with the Flame Hound.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It didn’t look like the Flame Hound was just using a fire skill; it looked as if fire was a natural part of its body, destined to burn on it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Before the crowd could even marvel at the skill's brilliance, the Flame Hound vanished in a streak.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Substitute!” Wen Lei’s eyes narrowed as she saw the flaming shadow rush forward. She quickly issued her command.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She took a deep breath, controlling her surging adrenaline.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ultimate Skill!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This was an Ultimate-level Flame Charge!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A proficiency of this level appearing on a mid-level pet beast stunned Wen Lei, but her extensive combat experience and strong composure allowed her to react immediately.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Two identical Swift Cats appeared on the field.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seeing her Swift Cat use Substitute just before the Flame Hound’s attack, Wen Lei relaxed slightly, until the next moment, when her mouth dropped and her eyes widened.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Whoosh!!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The blazing shadow rushed forward, splitting into two the instant the Swift Cat used Substitute!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Bang!!!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In the next second, the two identical Swift Cats were hit by the fiery blur and sent flying over ten meters, landing against the wall outside the field!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Swift...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>One Swift Cat vanished, while the other fell to the ground, unconscious.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A collective gasp echoed throughout the room.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>One-hit KO!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If Wen Lei had defeated this teenage girl and her Flame Hound, no one would have been shocked. But the one getting defeated was Wen Lei!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This was Wen Lei! The infamousDon’t Even Think About PassingWen Lei!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Do you think Examiner Wen held back?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“No way. Who could withstand that Flame Charge?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Forget how terrifying that Flame Charge was. How did it manage to use Substitute mid-charge? That’s a combo move!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Incredible, truly incredible! This girl doesn’t seem like she’s here for an E-rank qualification…”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>People whispered amongst themselves, keeping their voices low for fear Wen Lei might overhear.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This terrifying girl passed Wen Lei’s assessment, but they certainly wouldn’t.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wu Ding and the male examiner in the black baseball cap didn’t have the same concerns.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The male examiner swallowed hard and said, “Did you see that? It was a combo move, and she doesn’t even need to give specific commands to the Flame Hound.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I saw.” Wu Ding was dazed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“An Ultimate-level Flame Charge… Thank goodness I didn’t go up there.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Yeah…” The male examiner replied.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wanting to fight the Flame Hound was one thing, but only if they could effortlessly take control of the situation.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Being utterly defeated in front of a crowd would be a whole different story…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>For a moment, Wu Ding and the male examiner felt grateful to Wen Lei.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At least their pride was intact.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wen Lei stood frozen, her expression blank.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Did… Did she really just lose?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Did I pass?” Qiao Sang asked, breaking the silence as theDon’t Even Think About Passingexaminer remained quiet.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wen Lei looked over, as if snapping back to reality.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She gave Qiao Sang a complicated look, then nodded reluctantly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“You passed.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Under everyone’s watchful eyes, Qiao Sang and Yabao left the field.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Yap…” Yabao’s tail drooped, looking deflated.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Shi Gaofeng greeted them excitedly, but paused when he saw the Flame Hound’s expression.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Qiao Sang, was your examiner theDon’t Even Think About Passing?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“How did you know?” Qiao Sang asked, curious.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With a sigh, Shi Gaofeng patted her shoulder.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“It’s okay if you didn’t pass. You’re still young; there will be more chances.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Qiao Sang replied, exasperated, “Who said I didn’t pass?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Shi Gaofeng was stunned.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“You passed?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Yep.” Qiao Sang nodded.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Then why does your Flame Hound look like that?” Shi Gaofeng asked.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Qiao Sang glanced at Yabao, who was hanging his head.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With a shrug, shes aid, “It’s nothing. He was hoping for an intense battle, but it ended too quickly, so he’s disappointed.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Yap…”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yabao nodded, looking sad.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Shi Gaofeng: ...\u003C\u002Fp>",1131,"2026-06-06T02:23:08.562Z",1,"novelbin.me","ffa17b969a94d5c3fb3020c5907ca3fcee24db11287c62540a48a3d3bbbc724b","beast-taming-starting-from-zero-chapter-274","beast-taming-starting-from-zero-chapter-272",1023,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fbeast-taming-starting-from-zero-cover.jpg"]
