Coupled with an energy level far surpassing others in his tier, the Long-Tailed Snake simply couldn’t break free from the psychic control.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After the match, Qiao Sang took Yabao back to the contestants’ seating area at Shengshui High School to await the arrival of the reporters.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Given that the National Campus Beast Mastering League’s provincial preliminaries involved numerous simultaneous matches, and preliminaries generally didn’t attract much attention, each venue only had at most one reporter and a cameraman.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>When the broadcast announced that all matches in Group A2 had concluded, the venue’s sole reporter dashed toward Shengshui High’s contestant area, with a cameraman lugging a camera hot on his heels.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I knew they’d come to interview me…Qiao Sang patted Yabao’s fur and gave him a look.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yabao followed her gaze and saw two humans approaching, one with a microphone, the other carrying a camera.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Having been interviewed before, Yabao immediately understood his Beast Tamer’s intent.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Without a word, he tilted his head back at a 45-degree angle, aiming to look dashing when he appeared on camera.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Back during the Bai Xin Competition, Qiao Sang had been a gutsy rookie whose first contracted beast was a fire-type, with some raw talent in battles. Reporters back then maintained a professional distance during interviews.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Now, though, this reporter practically shoved the microphone into her face.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Qiao Sang silently took a step back to put some space between her and the microphone.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Just as she prepared to answer questions about the Flame Hound's psychic abilities, the reporter bombarded her with another set of questions:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Why do you enjoy spinning your opponents dizzy so much? Does it hold a special meaning for you, or do you simply derive some kind of enjoyment from it?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Qiao Sang: ???\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>---\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>An hour after the match, a thread titledShengshui’s Super Seeded Player Qiao Sang Has a Habit of Spinning Opponents Dizzyexploded on the forums.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Qiao Sang sat on the school bus back to Shengshui, silently scrolling through the thread.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Three-dimensional shadow control like this is insane! Looks like Zhejiang Province is going to make a name for itself this year!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“That skill’s incredible, but the way the Treasure-Seeking Demon spins opponents around reminds me of a noodle chef. I don’t get it, but I’m amazed!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“It’s not the Treasure-Seeking Demon’s fault, it’s Qiao Sang’s doing.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Why do these geniuses always have quirks? There was Ding Yanjing with his tickling tactics, and now Qiao Sang with her dizzying spins.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Ding Yanjing’s tactics were borderline torture. Qiao Sang’s just using it as part of her combat style. Flame Hound’s attacks were normal before the Treasure-Seeking Demon showed up.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Speaking of Flame Hound, its fire and psychic abilities are so strong! Even when it just stares down an opponent to make them spin, you can feel its dominance!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Speaking of Flame Hound… anyone up for a heist?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The replies went on and on. After reading for a while, Qiao Sang put her phone away and gazed quietly out the window.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>No big deal.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In the end, that reporter still asked about Flame Hound's psychic abilities. Once the interview aired, the gossip wouldn’t matter.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Sitting beside her, Xu Yixuan typed intently on her phone, a serious expression on her face:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“How to rapidly improve a pet beast’s resistance to dizziness.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She never expected Qiao Sang to have such a bizarre quirk! Based on their respective strengths, both of them would almost certainly advance to the later stages of the provincial competition.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The odds of facing each other were high. Losing was one thing, but losing while spinning? Absolutely unacceptable!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xu Yixuan wasn’t the only one thinking this way.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>That evening, the Clear Breeze Potion sold out across Zhejiang Province, and Qiao Sang single-handedly boosted the sales of anti-dizziness remedies statewide.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Of course, that’s a story for another time.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>---\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The bus pulled into Shengshui High just as the evening light began to fade.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As Qiao Sang got off the bus, someone called her name.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>From the voice alone, Qiao Sang knew who it was.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Mom? Why are you here?” She turned her head and, sure enough, saw her mother standing there.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“The store isn’t too busy, so I thought I’d come pick you up since you’re back.” Ye Xiangting walked over with a smile.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“How’d the match go today?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Qiao Sang grinned. “I got all 18 points, of course.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Over the past week, she had been updating her mother daily after each match. Naturally, Ye Xiangting understood what 18 points meant.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hearing this, Ye Xiangting’s smile widened.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“You little rascal! Who would’ve thought you’d be so talented in battles? Competing against seniors for a whole week without losing a match, who do you take after?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“You, of course!” Qiao Sang teased.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“If you’d chosen to be a professional Beast Tamer, you might’ve been a regional star by now.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ye Xiangting couldn’t hold back her laughter.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Hahaha, that’s possible! Let’s go home! I’ll make something delicious tonight.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The warm glow of dusk faded as their voices trailed off into the distance.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I want sweet and sour ribs!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Sure, I’ll make them!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“And cola chicken wings!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Done!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Oh, and--”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Hold on! I want to ask, do you have the rankings for this week’s matches?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Yeah, why?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Send them to me later. I’ll post them on my Moments.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“...”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>---\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Dinner was at the apartment in Tianjing Garden.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Since they had to gather early at school the next day, staying there was more convenient.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After finishing dinner and tidying up, Ye Xiangting headed home.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Qiao Sang sat on the sofa, phone in hand, looking at the announcement in the group chat about the next stage of the competition.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“November 4th, Huicheng Beast Taming High School.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>November 4th, that was the day after tomorrow.Where was Huicheng Beast Taming High School again?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As Qiao Sang pondered, a jet of water thinner than her pinky sprayed her face.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She wiped her face helplessly and looked at Lubao, whose nostrils were bubbling with water in frustration.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Still mad? I told you, you’re our secret weapon. You can’t come out too soon.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Lu lu!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lubao wore anI don’t believe youexpression, though the water bubbles shrank slightly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seeing this, Qiao Sang grinned. Just as she was about to say more, a thought struck her. She turned to Yabao, who was watching the competition channel.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“How’s your ear training coming along? Block the sound for me.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Yap!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yabao’s attention immediately shifted. He folded his ears down and blinked expectantly, waiting for praise.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Qiao Sang smiled like a proud mother but quickly turned to Lubao before Yabao’s ears popped back up.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I didn’t let you compete because those opponents were too weak. Yabao and Little Treasure could handle them. The tougher opponents are later on, that’s when I’ll need you.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Lu lu.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lubao’s tail swished lightly as the water bubbles vanished entirely.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Qiao Sang exhaled in relief.Finally pacified.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Xun?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Little Treasure, watching the whole scene, tilted his head in confusion.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Why didn’t our Beast Tamer think to ask me to block my ears?\u003C\u002Fp>",1252,"2026-06-06T02:23:08.563Z",1,"novelbin.me","38f19d54043524a465c62a8614d12ce21e5ce79b1bea76bbabd08201ef917f89","beast-taming-starting-from-zero-chapter-204","beast-taming-starting-from-zero-chapter-203",1023,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fbeast-taming-starting-from-zero-cover.jpg"]
