Does that even sound like a normal person?!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Qiao Sang continued, \"By the way, could you lend me your recent notes? You know I’ve been away a lot and don’t want to fall behind.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It wasn’t difficult to dissolve the invisible barriers teenagers built. Simply demonstrating that you weren’t so different from them could work wonders.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The classmate froze for a moment before replying, \"I don’t take notes.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Qiao Sang: …\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ah, she almost forgot that top students didn’t need notes…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>News of Qiao Sang’s achievements quickly spread across the school.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>During breaks, students from other classes no longer openly gathered at the windows to gawk. Instead, they’d casuallypass bythe classroom, sneaking glances inside.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Meanwhile, Qiao Sang was chatting idly with Jin Feifan.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Sigh, the gap between us is massive. I didn’t even make the top 30, and you ended up first, against senior-year students, no less,\" Jin Feifan lamented.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Qiao Sang’s mouth twitched.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Put that perfect score test paper down before you talk to me.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"It’s just a mock exam.\" Jin Feifan muttered, shoving the paper into her desk.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"These tests don’t mean much nowadays.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Did you forget you’ve barely attended class recently and still aced the exam?!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Qiao Sang gave them a sidelong glance.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"My win wasn’t a big deal either; it was just a provincial competition.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jin Feifan: …\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Qiao Sang then asked, \"Who from the first-year school team made it to the regional finals?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jin Feifan, unfazed by her deskmate’s lack of interest in their group chat, responded softly, \"Lu You made it. He placed second.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Qiao Sang glanced at Lu You’s empty seat.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jin Feifan added, \"Oh, and there’s Zheng Yining from the coordination group. She placed third.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>While Qiao Sang wasn’t familiar with most of the first-year team, she did know Zheng Yining.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Her choice of Long-Eared Cat as a companion was indeed spot on, it was perfect for coordination events.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>---\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Class dragged on as usual, dull and seemingly endless. But since Qiao Sang only attended sporadically, she found learning about pet beasts quite engaging.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Time passed quickly, and soon it was dismissal time.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Outside the school gate, Qiao Sang summoned Yabao.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Yap.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yabao’s eyes glowed blue as he glanced at the bracelet on his front left paw.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With a flick of invisible power, the switch on the bracelet was pressed. In an instant, Yabao returned to his full size.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Qiao Sang climbed onto Yabao’s back, smiling.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Let’s go home.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Yap!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With a spirited cry, Yabao leaped into the sky.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The spectacle left bystanders stunned. By the time they scrambled to pull out their phones, Yabao had already disappeared into the clouds.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>---\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After dinner, Qiao Sang returned to her room, packed her things, and lounged on her bed, scrolling through information about pet beasts from other regions.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The beasts from Guwu, Lianke, and Xilü regions were particularly fascinating.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Though their attributes were the same handful of types, their unique traits set them apart from Yuhua’s creatures.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>For instance, Lianke’s Illusion-Reality Grass had a special ability to discern truth from lies.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Simply place a hand on its leaf and speak. If the words were truthful, nothing happened. But if it was a lie, the leaves would slowly fold.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Many people rented these plants for weddings to test their partner’s sincerity.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>When the wedding vows reached thefor better or worse, in sickness and in healthpart, the grass would almost always close its leaves.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As a result, Lianke’s marriage and birth rates ranked among the nation’s lowest year after year.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Honestly, having all four regions compete together would be great. It’d be a chance to see more of their beasts.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As this thought crossed her mind, a new message notification popped up on her phone:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[Xu Yixuan invites you to join a group chat.]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Curious, Qiao Sang clicked in. The new group was namedYuhua All-In Squadand had 32 members.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A moment later, another person joined, bringing the total to 33.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[Cheng Jinhao sent a red envelope.]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[Cheng Jinhao: New members, change your usernames!]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Qiao Sang instinctively tried to grab the envelope but found it had already been claimed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>What? Is everyone in this group that fast?!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Silently, she changed her username.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[Dan Huaiyang: When we get to Guwu, I want to explore the underwater ruins. Anyone want to join me?]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[Xu Yixuan: @Qiao Sang, this is the group for Yuhua’s regional competitors.]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Eleven provinces, 33 participants, everyone seemed to be here. Qiao Sang sent a casual 'Hi, everyone' sticker.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Initially, the chat was quiet except for the occasional red envelope. But as soon as Qiao Sang spoke, the group erupted.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[Jin Wei: Qiao Sang? As in the one from Zhehai Province?!]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[Song Bowen: Obviously. Who else with that name would be in the regionals?]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[Xu Yixuan: It’s her, it’s her, it’s her!]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[Jiang Xiaotian: Suddenly, this group feels important.]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[Chen Yunru: OMG! Sister Qiao! Can I take a picture with your Blazing Star Canine when we’re at Guwu? I’ll give you all the intel I’ve gathered on competitors from other regions in exchange!]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Startled, Qiao Sang immediatelysold outYabao.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[@Chen Yunru: Sure.]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Her reply instantly made everyone else envious.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[Dan Huaiyang: I’ve got intel too! Let me take a picture with Ice Qiya!]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[Li Yue: My data’s 99% complete! I’d like to try Ice Qiya’s Healing Light, please?]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[Jin Wei: I have data too! Just let me join in!]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Watching the flood of new messages, Qiao Sang pondered for a moment.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Who would’ve thought I’d stumble upon such a sweet deal…\u003C\u002Fp>",1146,"2026-06-06T02:23:08.563Z",1,"novelbin.me","5845a9a77b561f87af5c5c3149f1bcb275c895162ff9d279742c0fe1cfaa7431","beast-taming-starting-from-zero-chapter-392","beast-taming-starting-from-zero-chapter-390",1023,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fbeast-taming-starting-from-zero-cover.jpg"]
