After a few seconds, she turned her head with anticipation and asked,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Teacher, have you decided who will go first?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Immediately, Gerta and the others focused all their attention.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Does anyone want to go first?\" Magee asked in return.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I do!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I want to!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Me too!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The group exchanged silent glances, none willing to back down.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Being the first meant a guaranteed spot in the battle, while the remaining two would have to rely on luck. No one wanted to come all this way for nothing.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Magee smiled slightly and said, \"Since everyone wants to go, we'll follow our school's rule, priority goes to the most capable.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Most capable?Qiao Sang's eyes lit up at the words, and she straightened her back.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Just as she was about to boast about her glorious battle record, Magee continued, \"Report your points. The one with the highest score will go first.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"???\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Qiao Sang’s expression froze instantly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wasn’t this rule a bit unfair for someone like her, who had just arrived as an exchange student?!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I'm at 201.\" Pelleg spoke first.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hulis followed, \"I'm at 459.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Gerta smiled confidently.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I'm at 523.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Mabel said a bit shyly, \"116.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wait a minute, their scores… aren’t actually higher than mine?Qiao Sang’s eyes gleamed as she realized something incredible.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Qiao Sang, what about you?\" Magee asked.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Qiao Sang coughed and said, \"697.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Her previous 94 points, plus 500 for breaking through 30% brain power, another 100 from passing the D-rank Beast Tamer exam, and 3 points earned from Mabel, all added up to 697. ȑä𐌽օꞖΕ𝐬\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Everyone’s minds went blank.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>An exchange student who had been at Sainan High School for less than a month had surpassed over two years of their efforts?!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Magee wasn’t surprised at all.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He had already checked their scores when selecting students for the friendly match.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Letting the strongest student go first was a given.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Otherwise, Qiao Sang, as an exchange student from Blue Star, wouldn’t have been chosen.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Amid the silence, Magee smiled.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Since Qiao Sang has the highest points, she’ll go first.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Qiao Sang sincerely repented.She had been wrong, this rule was actually way too favorable for her!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Time passed slowly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Qiao Sang observed that many of the competing pet beasts weren’t individually strong, but their teamwork produced unexpected results.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Like the current match.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The two teams had drastically different pet beasts in size.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>One side had two massive beasts over two meters tall, both looking fierce. The other side had two tiny beasts, barely a few dozen centimeters tall, with adorably cute appearances.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At first glance, based on size and aura, the two-meter-tall pet beasts seemed destined to win.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But as soon as the match began, the two cute pet beasts used Charm at the same time. The massive beasts instantly became dazed and stopped attacking.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seizing the opportunity, the cute pet beasts launched an assault.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Despite their low attack power, they remained dominant throughout the battle.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Qiao Sang frowned slightly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She had encountered the Charm skill before in the National Campus Beast Mastering League. Back then, she had identified Mimi's Sprite gender and countered it with Lubao.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But in a team battle, that method wouldn’t work.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If one pet beast was male and the other female, any counter pick would still fall victim to Charm.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>So this was the Charm strategy...Qiao Sang silently took note of the opponent's name.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Omar Ashur.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If nothing unexpected happened, he would likely be one of her future opponents.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After five minutes, the two-meter-tall beasts inevitably lost.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Both teams left the stage.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The large screen rolled, displaying the logos of two schools.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>One was a blue shield-shaped emblem with a crown in the center. The other was a red circular emblem featuring the legendary pet beast, Lesemodo.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then, the announcement rang out:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Mank Academy, Sainan High School, please send your competitors to the stage.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At that moment, the audience erupted in cheers.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Under Magee’s signal, Qiao Sang stood up and walked onto the stage.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At the same time, she noticed a tall girl with silky golden hair leave her seat in the front row and step onto the stage.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>From the Sainan High School seating area, Greta frowned.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Lavina? She actually came too.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Pelleg, intrigued, commented, \"One is the leading figure of Coordination Battles among her peers, while the other is a monster in Beast Tamer Duels. This matchup should be interesting.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then, he turned and asked, \"Hulis, who do you think will win?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"In a 1v1, definitely Qiao Sang. She won the championship before becoming an exchange student.\" Hulis said, his gaze falling on the blonde girl.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"But in 2v2, it’s hard to say. Many people's team battle skills differ greatly from their solo battle skills.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"But Qiao Sang should have team battle experience, right?\" Mabel argued.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Didn’t the teacher pick students with team battle experience?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hulis chuckled.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Qiao Sang skipped straight from freshman year. In just one semester, she spent most of her time in national-level competitions. Was she training her pet beasts for individual duels or team battles?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Remember, she’s the Beast Tamer Duel Champion, not the Beast Tamer Team Battle Champion.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"She spent over a month just traveling here, where would she have had time to train for team battles?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"…That makes a lot of sense.\" Mabel admitted, unable to refute.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"So does that mean she has no team battle experience?\" Greta frowned.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Just then, Magee smiled and asked, \"You guys don’t know how many high-rank pet beasts Qiao Sang has, do you?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>What students could think of, teachers had already considered.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But when someone's strength reached a certain level, some rules could be overlooked.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Three, maybe?\" Hulis joked.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Magee simply smiled.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hulis, initially laughing, froze at the teacher’s expression.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He swallowed nervously and cautiously asked again, \"Wait… it’s actually three?!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Same question. Different tone.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Magee replied, \"You guessed right.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Silence fell.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Alva, who had been quietly listening, was utterly confused.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A freshman? Spent over a month traveling here? No team battle experience? Three high-rank pet beasts?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>What were they even talking about?!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Meanwhile.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>On stage.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yabao leaped from Qiao Sang’s arms onto the battlefield.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Qiao Sang formed a seal gesture with both hands.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>An orange-yellow star formation lit up beside Yabao.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Across from her, Lavina also formed a seal gesture but it was completely different from Qiao Sang’s.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Two green star formations appeared on the ground in front of her.\u003C\u002Fp>",1066,"2026-06-06T02:23:24.207Z",1,"novelbin.me","08699d84d8c742136db337d365203ff3b87877ed2400857fa31d80d96d40f5ef","beast-taming-starting-from-zero-chapter-555","beast-taming-starting-from-zero-chapter-553",1023,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fbeast-taming-starting-from-zero-cover.jpg"]
