We just both joined the brick-breaking event during the last sports meet.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Yeah, right. If you didn’t know her, why would she come looking for you?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Like Dai Shushu, who keeps claiming she knows Qiao the Great, but we’ve never seen her come to find her, have we?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Believe it or don’t.” Liu Qijia tossed the words over his shoulder as he walked towards the door.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Everyone in the class turned to watch.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Liu Qijia walked with confidence.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Though he appeared calm, he couldn’t deny feeling a bit smug, though the feeling quickly faded.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Is the gold glove ready?” Qiao Sang asked.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Liu Qijia weakly replied, “I asked, but the money’s not enough.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Qiao Sang looked at him quietly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In the silence, Liu Qijia felt himself wilting under her gaze.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Unable to bear it, he blurted out, “I just bought several huge tubs of energy powder to prep for the sports meet. I’m really low on funds.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Qiao Sang could somewhat understand.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Though gold wasn’t the main currency these days, it was still widely accepted as a precious metal, and the price wasn’t much different from her previous life.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Since becoming a Beast Master, her allowance had increased significantly, but most of it went towards her pet beast, leaving little left over.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And here was a high school student, whom she expected to buy a gold glove as big as her hand, that was indeed a bit challenging.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After thinking for a while, Qiao Sang decided to be a good person.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She was about to summon Little Treasure to show his tiny paws so Liu Qijia could base the glove’s size on that.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Just then, Liu Qijia said, “I even told my parents about it, but my dad didn’t believe me at all. He thinks I’m trying to scam him out of money.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As he spoke, he suddenly got excited.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“How about you come home with me and prove it to him!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Prove what?” Qiao Sang asked.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Prove that the Treasure-Seeking Demon really can use Brick-Breaking!” Liu Qijia said.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“My dad promised that if I really lost to a brick-breaking Treasure-Seeking Demon, he’d never punish me again in this life, the next, or the one after that.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Qiao Sang: …\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“And he’ll pay for your gold glove!” Liu Qijia added.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It actually sounded like a good deal, going there in exchange for a larger gold glove…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Qiao Sang thought it over and said, “You board at school, right? How about we go this weekend?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At Shengshui High School, boarders were allowed to leave on weekends, as long as they returned at the designated time.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Liu Qijia chuckled.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Why wait until the weekend? Let’s go today.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Qiao Sang was surprised. “Aren’t you a boarder?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I am.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Liu Qijia said meaningfully, “but that doesn’t stop me from going out.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Qiao Sang: ???\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Wait here.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Liu Qijia called across the classroom, “Xiang Chengfei, come here!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A cheerful voice responded, “On my way!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Following the voice, Qiao Sang saw a boy with skin paler than most girls’. Sitting next to him was a familiar face.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Qiao Sang wasn’t surprised to see Dai Shushu in Class Nine.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With her grades, Dai Shushu could’ve stayed in the Elite Class.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But ever since the vice principal took charge of the senior team, a few top students each year were assigned to the Elite Class, sparking opposition from the teachers in Class Nine.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Although Class Nine wasn’t the Elite Class, it boasted high university acceptance rates thanks to its talented students. Occasionally, a standout student would even make it to top universities.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Now that some exceptional students were being placed in the Elite Class each year, the university acceptance rate was no longer secure, and the teachers naturally weren’t pleased.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As a result, in recent years, top-ranking students from entrance exams or those with recommendation letters often ended up in Class Nine.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Having been at Shengshui High School for over a month, Qiao Sang was well aware of this situation.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Dai Shushu was holding a book, appearing to read, but anyone watching closely would notice that she hadn’t turned a page since Qiao Sang arrived at the classroom door.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Qiao Sang had no idea that Dai Shushu was so distracted by her presence. She just glanced over, then looked away.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Though her academic scores might not rival Dai Shushu’s, she no longer felt any urge to see her as competition.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With different perspectives, goals change.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Qiao Sang’s only ambition now was to win first place in the senior national campus Beast Mastering League and earn a spot as an interstellar exchange student.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At that moment, the boy named Xiang Chengfei ran over and asked Liu Qijia, “What’s up?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Liu Qijia placed a hand on his shoulder and lowered his voice, “I’m going out tonight. Same price, alright?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Qiao Sang raised her eyebrows at the exchange.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Apparently, he had a special way of getting out.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“You’re going out with Qiao the Great?” Xiang Chengfei glanced at Qiao Sang, quickly looking away when he found her watching.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Yep.” Liu Qijia replied.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Are you in or not?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Of course! Why wouldn’t I be?” Xiang Chengfei responded immediately.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>---\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>7:33 p.m.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As soon as training for the senior team ended, Qiao Sang went to their agreed spot.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Behind the school warehouse, near the wall.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Liu Qijia and Xiang Chengfei had been waiting for about ten minutes.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seeing Qiao Sang approach, Liu Qijia eagerly said, “Let’s go!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Alright.” Qiao Sang nodded.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Hurry up and summon your gatekeeper!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Liu Qijia urged Xiang Chengfei, “I need to be back before curfew!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Chill.” Though Xiang Chengfei’s words sounded calm, his hands moved quickly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A white star pattern appeared, and a pet beast emerged, a 30-cm creature with a brown, dome-like shell and four small paws.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Qiao Sang recognized this pet beast.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was a Door Helmet, a ground-type pet with the door-opening ability.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>When it stuck to a surface, it could transform it into a door, allowing free passage. Once it detached, the surface would return to normal, leaving no trace.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This made it popular among locksmiths, and Qiao Sang had seen it a few times.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Gatekeeper, stick yourself to the wall.” Xiang Chengfei directed the Door Helmet.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Door door.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Door Helmet nodded, scurrying over to the wall and adeptly placing its front paws on it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Hurry, I need to get back for evening self-study.” Xiang Chengfei said, pushing the Door Helmet against the wall.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The solid wall transformed instantly into a door shaped like the outline of the Door Helmet.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Don’t worry, I’ll be back soon.” Liu Qijia crawled through the small, 30-cm opening with all the grace of someone climbing through a dog door.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Once outside, he popped his head back through the tiny doorway, calling, “Qiao Sang, come on!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Qiao Sang stood silent for a moment before saying, “No need. I’ll use the main gate.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Liu Qijia: ???\u003C\u002Fp>",1246,"2026-06-06T02:23:08.562Z",1,"novelbin.me","a46b3bdae99e5acd8b48982c8e4fd70411c5c41dff2621ed9770500a91ea3273","beast-taming-starting-from-zero-chapter-288","beast-taming-starting-from-zero-chapter-286",1023,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fbeast-taming-starting-from-zero-cover.jpg"]
