When you get back, you’re watching the video. If it evolves right after you return, then watch it after it evolves!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Don’t you understand the principle of overconfidence leading to failure? Fire and psychic types, your Guwei Blossom won’t gain any advantage even after evolving into a Guwei Sunflower!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I don’t have only one contracted beast.\" Ding Yanjing retorted, unfazed by the principal’s authority.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The two boys beside him kept their heads down, silently absorbed in their phones, hoping to avoid any fallout.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They were far too familiar with this scene and knew Ding Yanjing wouldn’t get away unscathed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Sure enough, the man’s face darkened as he added,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“When you get back, watch the video and write a 1,000-word strategy. If you don’t, forget about dinner tonight!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ding Yanjing: ...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even with students like Ding Yanjing, who brought great honor to the school, he maintained strict discipline.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This strictness was one reason Ding Yanjing always studied his opponents thoroughly and achieved remarkable results in competitions.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>---\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In Xihuai District, at the Royal Beast Training Base...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A middle-aged man ended his call and entered a nearby convenience store. He placed a bottle of mineral water on the counter.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The cashier, engrossed in a video, didn’t even notice someone standing at the register.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The man seemed to think of something. With a wave of his hand, the small beast napping in his pocket vanished.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A subtle, unseen force dissipated around him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Startled, the cashier suddenly realized someone was in front of him. Hastily setting his phone down, he scanned the barcode.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“That’ll be three alliance coins.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The man placed three coins on the counter without a word, picked up the bottle, and walked out.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The cashier, staring at the man’s back, muttered,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Weird... He’s a big guy. How did I not notice him walk in?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>---\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Meanwhile, battles in Group A2 were ongoing.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Having secured her 18 points, Qiao Sang didn’t leave but instead stayed in the Saintwater High seating area to watch the matches.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Yap?!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yabao still hadn’t recovered from his shock.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It’s over? Already?!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Qiao Sang gently patted his head to comfort him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“It’s okay. There’s still a long way to go. You’ll only face stronger opponents from now on.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Yap...”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yabao looked doubtful.Is that really true?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Qiao Sang noticed his growing skepticism and thought,Well, well... growing up, aren’t we? Learning to question me now...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Feigning seriousness, she said,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Don’t you trust me?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Yap yap!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yabao shook his head firmly, his gaze full of unwavering trust.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His expression was so earnest that Qiao Sang felt a little guilty. After all, she’d tricked him countless times before.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Clearing her throat, she diverted his attention.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Focus on the matches.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Yap!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yabao turned to the battlefield, watching the two battling beasts with an unusually serious expression.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Meanwhile, Qiao Sang’s gaze drifted upward to the mechanical beast acting as referee.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A mechanical beast... It’s my first time seeing one in real life.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Qiao Sang studied the metal-covered creature floating in midair, her thoughts drifting.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Mechanical beasts, also known as artificial beasts, are different from other types. Most are created and imbued with life artificially.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Of course, not all mechanical beasts are made this way.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As the field of beast taming advanced, people discovered new ways to create them.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Initially, it was believed they could only be cloned through DNA or formed from artificial materials without human intervention.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Later, researchers found that mysterious rays, dark ghostly energies, and a man-made soul called aSoul Corecould also grant them sentience and mobility.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The referee beast above was one such creation, made using smart chips and mechanical materials.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Most mechanical beast tamers build their beasts themselves, as this allows them to maximize potential and plan for future evolution.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Because of their rarity and complexity, mechanical beasts are seldom seen contracted by everyday tamers. Some regions, however, tell a different story.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In Yuhua District, mechanical beasts are a rarity. But in Liaoxi, they’re a common sight.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The reason?Many locals grow up to become researchers and scientists, fostering an environment where artificial intelligence thrives.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With this technological influence, children in Liaoxi often aspire to create their own mechanical beasts, carrying on the tradition generation after generation.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Staring at the referee beast, Qiao Sang thought,If I ever get enough contract slots, a mechanical beast would be a nice addition.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Its appearance and functions could be tailored to her preferences, and with a smart chip installed, it could analyze and solve problems on the go.A must-have for daily life and travel!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>---\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The league continued smoothly. Though Xu Yixuan and He Dadao didn’t finish their opponents as swiftly as Qiao Sang, they still secured their 18 points over six matches.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>---\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Half an Hour Later\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At the Xihuai District training grounds’ dormitories...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With matches spanning an entire week, all teams competing in the area were housed in the on-site dorms, built to hotel standards.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Each room accommodated two people, but with contracted beasts sharing the space, it felt a bit crowded.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Yap yap!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Yan!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yabao and YanYan locked eyes, instantly adopting battle stances. Flames flickered on Yabao’s teeth, while Flame Sparrow spread its wings wide.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It wasn’t that they didn’t get along, they just loved a good fight.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Xun~”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Little Treasure appeared, his expression brimming with excitement. Floating between Yabao and YanYan, he pulled out his round ring and rummaged through it. Moments later, he retrieved a whistle.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At that moment, Qiao Sang was chatting with Wang Yao.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Didn’t expect us to be roommates.” Qiao Sang said.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Yeah, but it’s nice. Some people have to room with competitors from other schools. That’s gotta suck.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Raising an eyebrow, Qiao Sang teased,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“You mean Senior Xu?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wang Yao burst into laughter.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Hahaha! Exactly her!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Pweeet!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Suddenly, a sharp whistle interrupted their conversation.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Startled, Qiao Sang turned to see Little Treasure holding a red whistle in one paw and swinging his other paw downward.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The motion felt oddly familiar...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>While Qiao Sang pondered, Wang Yao commented,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“When did you buy that whistle, Qiao Sang? It looks just like the referee’s.”\u003C\u002Fp>",1018,"2026-06-06T02:23:08.563Z",1,"novelbin.me","d8fcc26d84c455b12d0f8cb80e4d2d353bd214f02bcacac69db6d9ea94287386","beast-taming-starting-from-zero-chapter-306","beast-taming-starting-from-zero-chapter-304",1023,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fbeast-taming-starting-from-zero-cover.jpg"]
