After graduating from college, you’ll officially live and work in the Guwu region.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"As for housing, don’t worry. The research center can cover the cost of buying a home for you. Alternatively, you could live at the Water Luriana center if you prefer.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Honestly, the offer was incredibly tempting. The monthly salary was 150,000 yuan, and Qiao Sang almost agreed on the spot.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Fortunately, she reached into her pocket, touched her unlimited credit card, and managed to regain her composure.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The benefits were great, but accepting the offer would determine her post-graduation future.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Having come to the Beast Taming world, how could she settle for being confined to one region for years?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As she pondered, there was a series of urgent knocks at the door.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Knock, knock, knock!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The sound made it clear that whoever was knocking was in a hurry.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Qiao Sang didn’t get up. Instead, she looked at Little Treasure.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Without her needing to say anything, Little Treasure floated over knowingly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Xun Xun~\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He stuck his head through the door, leaving half his body inside the room.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Outside, there was a startled exclamation, \"What the!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The knocking immediately stopped.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Little Treasure retracted his head and turned back to report that the visitor was their teacher.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I already knew from the voice... Qiao Sang thought.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She said, \"Open the door.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Xun~\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Following his master's instruction, Little Treasure opened the door.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>When the door swung open, Sun Boyi stared at the pet beast before him, his expression complicated.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Xun Xun~\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Little Treasure blinked innocently.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Taking a deep breath, Sun Boyi stepped inside, excitement returning to his expression as he said, \"Qiao Sang, I’ve got some news for you!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"What is it?\" Qiao Sang sat up, puzzled.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In her memory, Teacher Sun was usually calm and composed. For him to show such unrestrained emotion, especially after exclaiming “What the!” just moments ago, was quite unusual.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"It’s good news!\" Sun Boyi said, barely containing his excitement.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"The principal just called me. Apparently, someone from higher up contacted him. If you don’t use your Treasure-Seeking Demon’s spatial shift to directly move opponents out of bounds during the national league, and you manage to secure a top-two placement, you’ll be chosen as an interstellar exchange student. You’ll also be enrolled in the advanced class for third-years at the partner school, allowing you to take the university entrance exam this year!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"What?!\" Qiao Sang bolted upright, startled.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"That’s right!\" Sun Boyi repeated with an even bigger smile.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"As long as you place in the top two, you’ll become an interstellar exchange student, join their advanced class, and take the entrance exam this year!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In his eyes, securing a top-two position at the national league was a piece of cake for Qiao Sang.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>No teacher wouldn’t want their students to succeed. If Qiao Sang achieved this, she’d be attending a prestigious university after just one year of high school.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This unexpected news cleared Qiao Sang’s head instantly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>While she was thrilled, she couldn’t help but think about her current academic standing.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After a brief pause, Qiao Sang took a deep breath to calm herself and asked, \"When do university special admissions typically start?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Sun Boyi replied quickly, \"Each top university has a different schedule, but most begin the initial application process at the start of the year, with tests and evaluations in March or April.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"If you tell me which school you’re aiming for, I’ll look into it for you!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>March or April... That’s two or three months earlier than the standard entrance exam.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Qiao Sang remained silent for a moment.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She was tempted to shout that she understood, but reason reminded her that mastering three years of high school content in such a short time was even harder than winning the national tournament.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With a sigh, she asked, \"Teacher Sun, do you really think I can do it?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Sun Boyi, fully confident in her abilities after seeing her battle prowess, replied with unwavering conviction, \"Of course you can!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His resolute tone made Qiao Sang briefly believe that she might actually succeed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>---\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Next Day, Imperial Capital International Airport.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The plane touched down at the sprawling, warmly lit airport.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Carrying Yabao, Qiao Sang was the first to disembark, followed closely by Sun Boyi.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xu Yixuan had not advanced to the national tournament. After watching the award ceremony, she returned to the Yuhua region alone the next day.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The capital’s airport was vast, and it took over 40 minutes just to reach the exit, not including the time spent retrieving luggage.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Central Region.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Located at the heart of the Dragon Kingdom, the Imperial Capital was one of its most prosperous cities.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As soon as she exited the terminal, Qiao Sang saw numerous flying-type beasts lined up in the air, forming several straight rows.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The sheer number of them nearly obscured half the sky.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Most of these flying beasts wore uniform-colored gear, indicating they were on official duty.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Yap!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yabao, awestruck by the spectacle, gawked at the scene above.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>One large, red-feathered bird noticed Yabao’s gaze and sent a playful wink down at him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Yap.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yabao tilted his head in confusion before looking away.
